We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

DORIS DAY continued "I used to be afraid of decisions but Marty don't like to travel, even to world glamour spots. I've had it. I'm the girl who does not want to "toss a few things into a bag" and take off for New York or Jamaica for a night club opening. For years night clubs were for me just places to work. "Tossing things into a bag" meant a sleeper jump to Wichita. One of my greatest luxuries and joys, these days, is the privilege of just staying at home in the house I love, with my husband and son! Oh, I like to dash the few miles to Palm Springs for some sun and tennis and loafing. But I have no wish to roam the world, believe me. So many people in the industry have been thrilled in recent years by location trips to places like Africa or Tokyo. I enjoyed my European jaunt last year, but now I really don't care if I never get farther away from home than Palm Springs! Q. True or false, that you think there has been too much discussion of the problem of career-versus-marriage or two careers in one family? A. True. I honestly don't see what there is to discuss. I think two careers in one family are wonderful. Of course, in Marty's and my case I suppose it's especially wonderful because our careers dovetail so nicely. But I know plenty of women who call themselves "housewives" and who are very discontented about the whole thing. I think this is especially true if they are sufficiently well-to-do so that they don't have the entire physical care of their children and don't have to undertake all the housework. These are women who "run" their houses and a more unhappy lot of people I don't know. When they go out with their husbands they feel left out of TO BUY? Doris wonders. Dressing up for a formal affair is fun now, but in the past, it was too hard for me to find the right clothes."
