DANCING DAUGHTER [CONTINUED FROM PACE 22] had a wonderful time and they were all loads of fun. Mr. Gable couldn't be a more genial fellow, or a more modest one, for all the adulation. Just to show you the effect Clark Gable has on women of all ages, Gene and I came home from the studio one day to be greeted by an ecstatic Tina who's all of three years old. She had been walking on Bond Street with her nurse, and she was bursting with excitement. "I saw Mr. Gable! I saw Mr. Gable!" she screeched, jumping up and down. Tina got as much of a kick out of England as Gene and I did. She insisted upon going to Buckingham Palace almost every day to see the changing of the guard. While we were in Cornwall she had the time of her life playing on the beach, and soon was no longer the dainty child she had been when she left home. She was really rough and tumble, acquired the ruddy complexion of the English. She even rode a horse, and I gasped to see that mite cantering around, of course on a lead rein, usually followed by three large dogs — two police and a boxer. We had one bad experience in our hotel in Cornwall, which was a repetition of something that once happened to Gene in New York. She was robbed of every piece of jewelry that she owned. Of course, she was insured, but so much of what was taken had sentimental value. Gene said that she will never own another piece of jewelry, and will let the world know that anything she wears is paste, and anyone who likes paste is welcome to take it. In addition to the jewelry, the robbers took one pair of shoes, the fanciest and most glamourous pair, but not another thing to wear. In London we lived in smart Grosvenor Square, where so many Americans live, and our "flat" was just about four doors from the American Embassy. Mr. Roosevelt's statue in bronze was directly in front of our door, so it was all quite homelike. We bought a history of England and brushed up on our English history before making the rounds of the museums and galleries. We flew over to Paris one weekend and had a glorious time and Gene ordered a Paris suit. Had a wonderful trip to Scotland and saw no end of beautiful country, heather in full bloom, lots of lovely Gothic cathedrals and castles. We didn't see the Queen, but saw the Duke of Edinburgh when he opened the Military Tattoo in Edinburgh. He is more attractive than any movie actor we have ever seen. He just reeks with charm. Now Gene is back in London, working in "The Day's Mischief" for J. Arthur Rank. Although she is not a ballerina in this picture, I know she'll never lose that fascination for the ballet which she acquired in "Never Let Me Go." END GO GET YOUR MAN! [CONTINUED FROM PACE 42] "How does she go about finding this man?" "Let me tell you about a girl I know, and what she did," Roz chuckled. "She had been telling me how dull and empty her life was, and I said, 'The trouble is that you should get married!' She said that she knew that — she wanted to get married, but she never met anyone interesting; the only men she knew were the drips who hung around the water cooler at the office. So I said, 'Okay, start with the drips!' " 'Start marrying those drips?' she exclaimed. " 'No, foolish,' I replied. 'You have to wade through the drips in order to find the Right Guy. Now this is what you do; you have a party and invite every single one of those drips. Everyone knows a drip, so it stands to reason that drips know non-drips. You tell each drip to bring an extra guy if he can — and most of them can, because people love parties. Now, one of those extra men may be the Right Guy, but the chances are against it being that easy. However, even if nothing but more drips turns up, every one of these drips is obligated to reciprocate your hospitality, even if it's only taking you out for a cocktail. When one invites you out, maneuver it, if possible, so that it becomes a group instead of a twosome — "Let's ask so-and-co to come along" — you know. Sooner or later, one of those drips will take you to a party where you'll meet someone who isn't quite such a drip, so you concentrate upon him. Ignore Drip No. 1; drop him. And when Drip No. 2 leads you to something better, you concentrate upon the improved model. Use them as stepping stones, and, inevitably, you meet The One. But you have to do it by getting into groups, meeting people, and widening your circle of acquaintances. Otherwise, it's a case of 'East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet.' " "You make it sound so simple," I murmured. "It is simple," Roz said. "As I told this friend, all that she had to do was to buy a bottle of Scotch, and a bottle of Sherry, and that's not too much of an investment for the most important thing in your life. Of course, she had to put up with the drips for a time, and she had to exert herself a bit for them, but getting anything that you want in life requires some effort, and doing some things that you'd prefer not doing. She did finally meet the Right Guy, and she married him, and I was the happiest person at that wedding, you can bet!" Roz laughed, your eyes. . . DRAMATIZED/ New ^Htift is yours tkis easy -way.
