M Find out now the REAL TRUTH about these Intimate Physical Facts! It’s really shocking how often a marriage breaks up simply because the wife hasn’t proper scientific knowledge of these intimate physical facts about herself — because she is too lazy or prudish to find out how important douching often is to intimate feminine cleanliness, health, charm and marriage happiness — how important douching is to combat one of women’s most serious deodorant problems.

PP-37, 370 Lexington Ave., New York 17, N. Y. Address Stole Boston University — a mass of Russells, since her mother and father are named Russell too. It’s a five-room apartment and things are crowded, but none of us mind. Rita’s invalid father has one bedroom, and her son Jerry and her mother have the other. Rita and I converted the dining room into our bedroom. We fixed it up with our new maple bedroom set and a new coat of cream and peach paint on the walls — painted by both of us. In this apartment we have a really good life. Every Saturday we have our friends over to a big poker party — I’m a demon player, even though I’ve never won yet! Once a month on our wedding anniversary we go out to a big feed at some restaurant. At home we eat far too well for my figure— since we married I’ve gained eighteen pounds on Rita’s steak and mushrooms, French fried potatoes and strawberry shortcake. With either of us driving our Oldsmobile, we cover all the movies, hockey games and plays in Boston. When I’m home I like to read every newspaper in town and listen to radio mysteries. AND right here I’d like to give some advice to future stepfathers: if you really want to make a hit with your new stepson, wear hooks! Four-year-old Jerry is fascinated by them. He brings his friends in to see them and then orders me proudly to pinch his nose with my hooks! Sometimes his love for them is a little inconvenient, I’ll admit — his favorite game is to hide them in the morning before I wake up. But this is all right with me; because whatever Jerry does, he’s natural. However, so are most grown-ups once they’re used to me. For every waiter who carefully does not bring me a finger bowl, there’s a friend who acts as if I had all ten fingers. A friend of Rita’s was over the other night. She borrowed some of Rita’s hand lotion, and was raving about how good it was. So I said, “Pass me the hand lotion, Florence — I think I’ll try it.” She said, “Sure,” and gave it to me . . . and then hit herself on the forehead with mock horror and said, “What’s got into me? Have I lost my mind?” Rita says I have only one bad fault — I want to buy everything I see in the stores for both of us. I frankly love clothes, everything but hats; I don’t wear them because if they blow off they’re too hard to retrieve. And I love buying her jewelry. Right now, too, I’m pretty excited about a new group that just started in Boston, the Amputees Club. I wish one like it would start in every city. It’s really fun to go to the meetings and get to know all the doctors, lawyers and professional men. Only one other guy and myself were enlisted men during the war, which gives you a faint idea! Most people want to know what I’m going to do from now on, since my acting life would necessarily be limited. There’s a chance I may do one or two more pictures. Then Mr. Goldwyn is helping me decide. When I complete my course at Boston University next summer, I have a job waiting for me in Mr. Goldwyn’s business office in New York, doing publicity work. And I have Rita and Jerry and all our friends. Not a bad future is it? Do you wonder I say— I’m a lucky guy?
