SEPARATED — Movie comic Dean Martin was helping out in the
high links at the Hollywood premiere of "The Desperate Hours"
when he got a phone call from Palm Springs. It was his wife,
former cover girl Jeanne Biggers, with word that their legal
separation had gone through. Martin says "neither of us has any
plans for a divorce." They are shown here during less desperate
hours.

"Dear Anne Hirst: Over a
year ago I married a widower
whose first wife died a tragic
death, and I am bewildered as
well as shocked by his apparent
determination to live his life
With her over again. I honestly
feel the whole house is haunted
by her ghost, and I seem to be
regarded as an interloper by his
relatives. I am ,sure my husband
loves me, but I am also sure
he has no idea how I am hurt
by his daily references to her.
It is almost more than I can
stand.
"Everything in the house re-
minds him of her, of course, and.
I understand that. But why
must he describe why- and
where they bought an antique
chair, and how much she loved
it? Is it fair that clothes she
wore hang in my closets and
pieces of jewelry are still in
her box on my dressing-table?
Our evenings usually are spent
in reminiscences of trips they
took and wonderful people they
visited including her ,close
friends, to whom lie still writes.
"I seem to resent, this more
as time passes, perhaps because
I took it fog granted we were to

This is Thanksgiving Day A
big day for Canadian families.
I imagine we are just as thank-
ful as most people for "the
bounty of the earth" but yet it
is one season that we have never
made a point of celebrating—
that is to the point of having
Thanksgiving dinner and all the
trimmings. Partner' and I were
invited out to a turkey dinner
but we preferred staying at
home to travelling the high-
ways, crowded with slap-happy
motorists. Bob and' Joy have
gone to Cornwall for the week-
end but Dee, Art, Dave and an-
other little boy were here yes-
The old comedy team of, Moran
and Mack had a cat routine that
always won a solid laugh. Moran
claimed that he owned fifteen
cats, and therefore drilled fifteen •
holes in his dining room door so
he could get rid of them when
he desired. "But one hole would
..be enough," Mack pointed out.
"The cats could exit one by one."
"Nothing doing," &included Mo-
ran firmly. "When I say 'scat'
I mean 'scat.' "
A pedigreed and very expen-
sive cat was shipped from-Phila-
delphia by overnight truck to a
purchaser in New York. The
driver later confessed to' Michael
Gross, the poster artist, that
while he was bumping along the
cobblestones on Eleventh Ave-
nue, the jarring loosened the
cage in which the cat was con-
fined. With one mighty leap lie
was off, high-tailing it - up the
avenue. Shouts of - onlookers
alerted the driver, who instituted
an intensive cat-hunt, but to no
avail.
All he found was a scurvy-
looking scavenger in an alley.
Figuring that all was lost any-
how, he collared the unsavory
specimen, shoved him into the
cage, and delivered him to the
purchaser.. Here's , the pay-off.
To this day the purchaser, evi-
dently. highly satisfied with his
alley cat, has never registered a
single word of protest!
The late Al Jolson had a cat
which he- told his friends was
worth $5000. Came the day when
he decided to sell the animal,
and the skeptical friends waited
eagerly for him' to 'return from
the pet shop and disclose the
selling price. "Did you get the
$5000?" they jeered. "Certainly,"
answered Al. "Did you think I
was kidding you?" "Show us the
dough," demanded the friends.
"Well," admitted Al, "this pet
shop fellow happened to be a
little short of cash so he gave
me these two $2500 dogs in-
stead."

Gone Stale
August Belmont, famous epi-
cure and member' of New York
and Newport's old "400," was
once a guest of Robert. Louis
Stevenson ,in 'San Francisco.
Stevenson took him to a certain
restaurant off Market Street,
and said, "An amazing feature
of this place is that no waiter is
ever permitted to say that any
dish whatever is lacking from
the menu. Ask for a slice of the
moon and the waiter will sol-
emnly march, off to the kitchen
to get it for you. Then he'll come
back and tell you solemnly
they're just out of it."
"I'll try them , out," laughed
Belmont, and ordered a double-
order of roast behemoth, rare.
The waiter jotted down the ord-
er, only to - report a moment
later, "I'm very sorry . . "Oh,
ho," nodded Belmont. "You have
no behemoth, eh?" "We have
plenty of behemoth," said the
waiter sharply, "but the truth is
it's all so well done I know you
wouldn't like it,"

Humorist Stephen Leacock
had, a long string of college de-
grees, and Canadian associates
usually addressed him as "Doc-
tor." The purser of an Atlantic
liner, who had heard him thus
referred to for three days, step-
ped up to him one evening and
said, "Doctor, could I prevail
upon you to examine the star
of last year's Ziegfeld Follies?
She slipped on the' promenade
deck and I'm afraid she has
sprained her hip." Leacock re-
ported ruefully later, "I rushed
there like a startled gazelle. but
alas! two doctors of divinity
had beaten roe to it,"
"SECOND WIFE."
INDULGES HIS GRIEF
q- I wonder with you how an
intelligent man can be so cal-
* ous as to force his present
* wife to share memories of his
* first marriage. His lack of
imagination and sensitive feel-
* ing is appalling, his confi-
* dences are mentally cruel —
* and no one would be more
* amazed to hear that than the
• man himself. In his thought
* and acts he is keeping the
dead woman alive, never
* dreaming how he is torturing
* you. If you had been married
* before, how would he enjoy
k incessant talk about your first
* husband?
• The kindest thought to hold
* is that your husband does not
* realize what he is doing to
* you. If he is aroused to it, he
* will be careful to keep his -
* memories to himself; in sheer
* decency he can do no less. A
* man of finer feeling would
* have distributed his wife's
* possessions among her rela-
* tives and friends and taken
* care that none remained in
* the house, especially in your
* room — but I expect he did
* not think that far ahead.
* Try to plan leisure hours
* so you will spend some of
* them in emotion-relaxing con-
* certs, plays, visiting friends
4` (including your own). Too
* many evenings at home will
* naturally remind him of. the
* past; when you are alone
* there, guide the conversation
* to other topics — holiday
* plans and other events inter-
• esting to you both. Entertain
* his friends as often as con-
* venient, so he will see how
* much they, admire you and
* how well you fit into their
* group.
It may be that your hus-
' band married too soon after
* his wife's death; if he had
* waited longer he would be
* comparing his life today with
* the dark loneliness he experi-
*' enced living by himself. Per-
* hags if he reads this opinion,
