Besides being careful of our clothes, Daddy and Mother believe that appreciating the small things of life is very important. We all get a thrill from unexpected little gifts, a new dish for dinner, a new way of fixing our hair. Our parents implanted that capacity for joy in us when we were babies, and we'll always be grateful to them for it. Daddy also feels we should have a sense of responsibility, and be prepared to earn our own living. He started out in the world when he was only eight years old — just Betty Lou's age. That's one of the stories we all love to hear him tell. He was a tall, skinny little boy. He was very serious. He had a paper route, and he ran messages for a drugstore and a grocery besides. Every dollar he earned went into the family fund to help raise him, and his brother and sister. He's worked every day of his life since then and he says he's never been sorry he had to. Right now he's helping Barbara and me decide what jobs we want to do in life. Sometimes I tell Daddy I'd like to be a model. Other times I think I'll settle for the life of a kindergarten teacher. Being around my little sisters so much has taught me quite a lot about handling small children, so this idea looks pretty good to me right now. Barbara is very musical, and loves to improvise on one of the twin pianos in our music room. When we were younger she and I used to play duets. Now there is a tinier piano in the room with our two uprights where tiny Kathy can bang away to her heart's content, while Betty Lou and Barbara claim the other instruments. One day the four of us are going to give a recital. That should be the day when everybody on Elm Drive treks off to parts unknown. You'd probably be able to hear us as far up the street as Elizabeth Taylor's family house — and that's in the next block. As I said, Friday night is our night with Daddy. Mother gets him on Saturdays, when they go out for an evening on the town. The rest of the week Mother and Daddy have dinner together at about seven, while the younger girls eat at six. Barbara and I are at boarding school during the week. Of course we all know that if we have something we want to talk over with our father, kids' night doesn't have to be Friday. He means it when he tells us that he's always there when we need him, and we don't have to worry about interrupting him, whether he's getting into his dinner jacket or studying the script of his NBC program. He's our father first. We all agree that we think Daddy is just about tops in tall, dark and handsome-ness. But even so, he's a different person to each one of us. Kathy 's chief joy in life is giving him presents. Christmas finds her a glorified Mrs. Santa Claus. Like this last year. She chose a box of fine cigars for Daddy — aided a little by mother — and now, every time he offers one to a friend, she's right there, her eyes very bright and wide, bursting to ask: "Is that one of my cigars — is it, Daddy?" Everything she gives still belongs to her. Betty Lou likes to create things for him. She paints and crayons with furious intensity. Birds, butterflies, weird-shaped houses — and Daddy gets them all. If he hasn't come home before.her bedtime, she trots upstairs and leaves her works of art on his pillow, sure that in the morning he'll remember to give her a hug and congratulate her on a particularly lively and distinctive purple insect the like of which he's never seen before. As for Barbara, she and Daddy have an identical sense of humor. You can hear them laughing all over the house. Barbara is a wonderful mimic and could be an actress, but "too much hard work" says she. Even so, she's got lots of poise. She appeared on Louella Parsons' program, representing our whole family, and did us all proud. Daddy and I get along so well because we're very much alike, both in general build and our rather retiring personalities. Often, I'll catch a grin on his face when he sees me just about to walk into a wall because I'm thinking about something else. He used to do that, too. He was rather an introvert at seventeen, had to be poked and prodded into doing things. As he's told me: "When I was in high school I hankered to play football, but the nearest I got to the field was waving my arms and jumping around as a cheer leader. In those days I never thought about being an actor — not until my determined dramatic teacher grabbed me by my" gangling arm and talked me into taking over the job of 'student manager' for the class play. In this position I found a broom pushed into my hands, and I was told to sweep the stage. After that I carried a few painted trees around, and then actually graduated to saying two lines in the play. This went over so well, I took a deep breath and signed up for another semester of dramatics. In all, I did four plays — one with your mother, before I got my diploma and took up my position in a cashier's cage in a Pasadena Bank. "But that same prodding schoolteacher wouldn't let well enough alone — bless her! She came into the bank and prodded me right out of the teller's cage and onto the stage of the Pasadena Community Playhouse. She really believed in me as an actor, and after a while I got a little more faith in myself. I won a scholarship. I did forty plays. Pretty soon I was in the movies. Now I'm in radio. Where do you think I'd be if a determined dramatic teacher hadn't caught me in one of those dreamy moods and pushed a broom into my idle hands?" Daddy is exaggerating, of course, and I have to giggle when I catch the twin RADIO MIRROR DAYTIME FASHIONS: Pages 46 and 47* *If the preceding pages do not list the stores in your vicinity where Radio Mirror Fashions are sold, write to the manufacturers listed below: Dress and jacket: Shirley Lee, 1641 Washington Avenue, St. Louis, Missouri Coat dress: Spears-Epstein, 1400 Broadway, New York City, New York
