Every wife dotes on receiving a present, but when husband and wife are together there is an incHnation on the part of both to "be sensible" and to select a gift on which both agree. Naturally, this eliminates the lovely element of surprise. Absence, gift-wise, is filled with anticipation. Just before John sailed, I made telegraphic arrangements with a New York firm to have a surprise delivered to John's stateroom. The surprise consisted of a bon voyage creation consisting of a huge cake of ice, bordered and concealed by red and white carnations ("our" flower) , and hollowed out to hold six small bottles of champagne, a tin of caviar, a box of crackers, a lemon, and a knife. Zachary Scott was seeing John off, so they had a gay time with this unlikely affair and telephoned me every hour, on the hour, from six P.M. until the boat sailed at midnight. Then Zack called me afterward to say that the Queen Elizabeth was safely on its way! At the time of this telephonic marathon, I was on location in Durango, Colorado. Every time I heard the frantic ringing, I would don robe and slippers and trot from my motel bedroom to the corner telephone booth to answer. When you realize that New York time was three hours ahead of Durango time (two hours normally and one added because of daylightsaving) , you will know that I made trips to bid my husband goodbye at nine, ten, eleven, and midnight; at one A.M., two A.M., three A.M., and then Zack called at four A.M. Something of this sort adds a delightful chapter to the family history which is slowly compiled by every couple, and is made possible only by absence. John surprised me, in turn, by bringing home a series of authentic tartans. The fabric is that for which the British Empire has become justly famous, and the patterns are beautiful. Because of the width of the wool, it would be possible to make a suit out of each, but John had other plans. He thought one, lined with red, would turn into a dramatic cape; he liked another as a topper. Although John has always taken an interest in my clothing, he is now more concerned than ever ... a something new added by absence. John brought me an additional gift, a bottle of perfume from France, and about it there is a story. I have always had a romantic's breathless yearning to see Paris. One of the things John planned to do while he was overseas was to fly to Paris for a weekend. I knew when he was planning to make the trip, and I gave myself some trouble. I sat at home Saturday night, trying to read but devoting most of my time to feeling sorry for myself. "There is John, in Paris," I thought. "Probably all the beautiful French girls are recognizing him and he is a great success. Perhaps he will walk down the Champs Elysees tomorrow morning, and he will see the panorama of Paris from the Eiffel Tower." I cried quite a bit to think what I was missing. As it turned out, I wasn't missing anything. At the last minute John had to remain at the studio to work over the weekend. Greer Garson was not needed, however, so she made the trip and John asked her to bring back a bottle of perfume. She complied, adding a delightful touch of her own on the card which accompanied the package. She wrote, "This is sort of a Tinkers to Evers to Chance gift arrangement, but I do hope you enjoy it." Remember that Greer Garson is British born and has learned all she knows of American baseball and American slang in a very few short years. John's association with her in England has, we feel, brought us a delightful new friend . . . another dividend of absence. Perhaps it all comes down to this: two people who are determined to get the most out of life and out of love can turn every experience into an adjunct of marriage. Even absence, that old bogey-man of an earlier genera.tion, can be tied with a bright ribbon, hung with golden quiver and arrow and turned into Cupid. I Learned About Women From Women Continued from page 40 club, and we loved every bar of harmony we sounded. There wasn't a member of the "Caged" cast who didn't regret the ending of the picture, which also ended our jam sessions and broke up the nearest thing to life in a sorority house that you can imagine away from a campus. The fact that sixty women could work together in absolute harmony did not surprise me. Although I have always enjoyed the company of men, I am completely loyal to my own sex. I am as opposed to the dreadful system of "Momism" as is its biographer, Philip Wylie, but in general I believe that women are more humane under all conditions than their fellow beings, men. From my own life, I can draw countless illustrations of the selflessness, the generosity, the wisdom and the honor of women. First of all, women are natural-born boosters and optimists. Almost any truly 68 successful business man will admit that he owes a great deal to the partisanship and prideful trust of his wife, and to the vigilance and tact of his secretary. From my own life background, I learned while I was still in pinafores that a woman who believes in one is a gift of wings. My own mother, before marriage, had entertained vague ideas of doing something in show business, and she passed on this ambition to me. As far back as I can remember, Mother was always sure that / would get the lead in the school play, that / would be chosen to give the class speech, that 7 would be the queen in the Spring pageant. Backed by such calm confidence in my combined good luck and ability, I simply couldn't fail! To this day, when I am puzzled about a career situation, I discuss my problem with my mother. She always has something sensible and resourceful to suggest.
