Some Wives Have Secrets ( Continued from page 47) balanced and running the house well. I’d just as soon Tony wouldn’t see me shampooing my hair or plucking my eyebrows, not because he doesn’t know I do it, but because one doesn’t look especially attractive doing them. When I’m curling my eyelashes (I have very long eyelashes but straight as strings and I like to curl them so they frame better) I’d just as soon he wouldn’t be around. I don’t like him to see me in the in-between stages. But if he sees me without make-up (and he often does) that’s okay with me. In fact Tony thinks it is appealing at times. “The way I feel, it’s not what you do in the glamour department that should be kept secret from your husband, it’s how you do it — and this is a matter of fastidiousness, of privacy. And a certain amount of privacy is important in marriage. It adds dignity and a little magic. “But if I don’t have many secrets from Tony regarding my make-up tricks, I do have others which are equally feminine, such as the way I get my own way. Every woman has a special way of getting her way, and it’s always her top secret. Me, too! Take the problem of going to parties. In the Curtis household this is a problem on account of I’m a girl who likes to go to parties and Tony is a boy who likes to be at parties. He always says he doesn’t want to go but, once he gets there he stays! “I’m on to this quirk in Tony and the method I use when there’s a party coming up is this: “On the day the invitation arrives: ‘Darling,’ I say, casually, ‘we’re invited to a party this Saturday night.’ “Tony: ‘I don’t want to go.’ “Me: ‘You’re perfectly right — let’s not.’ “Come Saturday p.m. and we’re all settled in for a cozy evening at home, me stretched out on the davenport, Tony playing records or reading. Along around 8:30, ‘What’s we do?’ Tony asks, restless. “Me: ‘Let’s call Marge and Gower Champion, ask them over. Oh, shucks, I forgot — they’re going to the party!’ “Tony: ‘How about Patti and Jerry Lewis —might drop in on them, huh?’ “Me: ‘Good idea — oh, heck, they’re going to the party, too. Patti mentioned it on the phone this morning.’ “Tony: ‘Well, why don’t we go?’ “Me: (yawning, stretching, getting slowly to my feet, a life-size portrait of the glad-to-oblige little woman) ‘Well, all right dear, if you really want to.’ “We go to the party and, since it was ‘his idea’ we have a wonderful time. The wife who makes her husband believe that every place they go, everything they have, everything they do is his idea makes of her marriage (this is my secret) a perpetual bed of roses! “It takes a bit of doing, but take it from me,” Janet grinned, “it can be done! “I don’t know whether this belongs in the category of keeping a secret but often, for Tony’s own sake, I postpone telling him something. For example, when I was assigned to “Rogue Cop,” at Metro-Gold wyn-Mayer, Tony was making a musical at U-I. He’d never made a musical before and was edgy about it. Every night he’d come home exhausted. So rather than distract him with my problems, I didn’t ' mention my new film until he was just • about out of production. When a man is 1 tired and preoccupied with his own affairs, to keep your affairs a temporary secret is, in my opinion, the kind of secret a [ wife should keep. “In other words, a wife, the way I see ' ; it, should keep secret anything that might annoy or worry her husband — always pro OPPORTUNITIES for EVERYBODY Publisher’s Classified Department (Trademark) For classified advertising rates , write to William R.
