Costume blouse — . bands of glearning rayon satin on superb quality Burmil Silduka rayon crepe Black and newest Fall fashion colors. Sizes 32 to 38. About $4.00 course in casting for my entire career. The other was in not continuing studying voice at that time. 26. Q: What would you like to have been, if not an actress? A: A magazine executive, an opera star or some sort of business woman. At one time I thought I would like to be a doctor. 27. Q: Tell us about your store, “Maureen O’Hara Inc.,” in San Fernando Valley. Do you really work there? Are you a good saleswoman? A; Yes, with my partners. Sue Daly and Lorna Murphy, I shop for merchandise in wholesale houses in downtown Los Angeles. And I work at the shop about two days a week. Yes, I do think I’m a pretty good saleswoman. I was brought up among sales people. My mother has a very successful shop in Ireland now. 28. Q: What was your toughest sale? A: The first one. On opening day — and what a day! We were open a whole hour and didn’t sell anything. Finally we sold a two-dollar bracelet. That got things to rolling and they’ve never stopped since. 29. Q : Whom do you consider the worst-dressed actress in Hollywood? (As a penalty for not answering, Maureen [who designs many of her own hats] had to make one of live flowers and wear it to a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. Ralph gave her a watering can to take along in case her chapeau should wilt.) 30. Q ; Are you sentimental about keepsakes ? A: Yes, I’m pretty sentimental, and particularly about things people give me. I keep Christmas cards and everything. I still have a piece of my wedding cake. And I still have my wedding bouquet preserved in a bottle of wood alcohol. 31. Q: I don’t recall ever seeing a picture of your little four-year-old daughter. Why don’t you allow her to be photographed ? A: Because I want Bronwyn to lead as normal a life as possible. I would hate her to see a picture of herself in a magazine. I don’t want her to be conscious of the fact that she’s the daughter of movie people. It would hurt me for other children to be pointing her out or for her to feel that she is different from them. 32. Q; Do you believe in modern psychology on the raising of children? A: If you mean just letting children go, rather than risk spoiling their initiative, no. I think some modern psychology is a boon to lazy mothers. A lovely excuse for them not to leave their novels or bridge tables and take the energy and time to supervise and train their children. As for disciplining Bronwyn, we just tell her why something is wrong, emphasizing that the next time this same problem presents itself, she may choose between right and wrong. Knowing that, if she does wrong, she will be punished, but if she does right, nothing will happen. The choice is hers. Edwards: Good idea. Spare the rod but don’t spoil the child! The Enb SECURITY
