She moved into her sister's apart- ment 1.4,5 while her entourage took over the Presidential suites on the 34th and 35th floors, Then, first things first, of course. A call went out for Mr, Kenneth, the hair-stylist at Lilly Dube's, The ladies kept him busy until 6 p.m. Having managed to avoid mak- ing a statement to the press at the airport, Mrs. Kennedy kept up the silent treatment. Report- ers and photographers, ignoring the glares of Carlyle patrons, camped out in the hotel lounge only to suffer one disappoint- ment after another. The First Lady herself slip- ped in and out ehrough back en- trances and once, to elude the press — with the help of the Secret Service — she switched.. cars.

Scientists in va- rious parts of the world have been asking this question with special interest ever since the idea of sending a man hurtling into space and bringing him back to earth alive was first suggested a few years ago, How tough, then, can a man be? Scientific endurance tests have already demonstrated that a man can endure prolonged pe- riods of starvation and intense physical hardship. Some men are extra tough. When crooks had a grudge against a young man some time ago they kidnapped him, bound his hands and feet, blind-folded him with surgical tape, threw him into a car, set fire to the car and then pushed it over a fifty gully. The young man came through this terrible ordeal unharmed. A sixty-five-old clergyman was run down by a car while cycling, He had a bad fall but declared he was unhurt. That was on a Friday. He took part in four services on the Sun- day. On Monday it was found that his neck had been dislo- cated by the fall. He had been preaching and performing his other duties with a broken neck, A sixty-year-old nightwatch- man was run over by a locomo- tive. Nearly all his ribs were broken and his right foot crush- ed, yet he picked himself *up, walked along the line, descended sixteen steps of a ladder and reached his hut. Four hours la- ter he was found there, still alive. If you are not interested in dogs don't read my column this week, As you may know my special- ity in clogs is Welsh Corgis. Un- til recently I thought we were the only ones in this district to own a Corgi. Then I saw art advertisement in a Toronto pa- per — "For Sale — registered Welsh Corgi pups". And the owner of the dogs lived only about three miles from here. So I phoned, explained my interest, asked if I might see the pups and if I could bring Taffy along with me. I was cordially invited to come any time. So away I went the very next maiming. Only two of the puppies were left and they were the cutest little things, one of them very like Taffy. But the mother — she was a perfect match for Taffy. They were very friendly towards each other, so, who knows, it might he the. be- ginning of a future romance. A day or two later I saw an- other "for sale" notice in the paper. This time of a cocker- spaniel for a very reasonable price. I immediately phoned Dee .because ever since Honey died the boys have been begging for another dog. Dee had to go to a Guide meeting that night so Art and the boys went along to see the dog, What they saw was so different from what they expect- ed. Art decided he wasn't going FRANK FASHIONS — When .Alcoa girl workers put on a fashion show, it was fashions with a vengeance.

Then there is a real togethernees. be second hind was what in. "spired mere than 1,000 newly- wed cottedee who swarmed into Britain's Channel Island of Jer- sey recently. A British. institu- tion known as "the tax, man's wedding" was responsible for the •.big splurge, Easter, always a popular time for weddings, coincided almost exactly with the end of Britain's fiscal year, and any bachelor married before April 6 got his personal income- tax exemption raised from $3e2. to e672. Thus, lie could count on a big enough tax rebate to finance a honeymoon, And when it came to choosing a spot, he knew his money would 'go far- ther on Jersey because it is a self s governing dependency, 'which doesn't like too many taxes. Cigarettes cost 20 cents, compared with 57 cents in Bri-- tein; the cost of whisky is cut in half. Well ware of the profits to be made, Jersey's tourist bureau and hotelkeeeers have inaugur- ated special honeymoon features. Island bars serve 'honeymoon" cocktails te secret recipe), bus tours are arranged, and room television sets are installed, in case of bad weather. And the honeymooners have responded by spending $200,000. Many couples arrived with no idea that so many others were going to be there at the, same time. ''We thought we were go- ing to get away from it all," said Glen Brown, 23-year-old engi- neer from I,Vimborne, Dorset. "We're not disappointed though," added his pretty wife, Peggy. Biting Dogs Are "Frustrated" Do some dogs bite because there's a wolf strain in them? Are dogs that bite naturally vindictive? Does a dog get pleas- ure out of sometimes biting the hand that feeds him? Those are just samples of the many queries editors receive from pet-loving readers during the year. The U.S. public health service at Washington, whose officials have been conducting research into this. subject, supplies the answers. Dogs that bite are "goaded by inner frustrations," they say. Two-thirds of dog-bites are with- out malice of any kind. The dogs don't mean anything per- sonal by it. It's just that a per- son happened to be handy for them "to take it out on." Another surprising fact is that men are bitten twice as often as women. What's more, female dogs bite more often than the males, a How does one avoid getting bitten? Well, you can get,i rough idea from the experts' observation that dogs bite more In July and August and during winter week-ends.

The First Lady was not dressed to the nines for the occa- sion; she wore a simple blue gray brocade theater suit. The Jacket had a cowa neck and the skirt was day length. Her only jewelry was glittering earrings. Other theater-goers tromped up and down the aisles, ogling her, but none spoke to her, She chat- ted gaily and seemed to be hav- ing a fine time, The next morning two then and two models, all resolutely refusing to give their names, ap- peared at the Carlyle, laden with hatboxes and garment bags. The hats came from Mr. Sohn, the clothes from Oleg Cassini, M11.4. Kennedy's favorite American de- signer', Because of a White House frown on publicity about her clothes, there was no official word on what Cassini was show- ing her, but she had already ap- proved most of the designs in sketch form. The selection rang- ed from summer dresses and sportswear to woolen dresses and suits needed to finish out the season in Washington. Her East- er outfit was to be summery and gay (she planned to spend Easter in Palm Beach) and reflected what experts noted was a new emphasis on color. It was pre- sumed that a print dress she wore recently at a Latin Ameri- can reception was a sign of Mrs. Kennedy's experimenting in styles and colors not as under- stated as those she has favored In the past, Newsmen were still kept in the dark about her schedule as well as her new wardrobe. l"Who does this dame think she is?" was a common complaint.] But she spent the late hours of the day readying the Presidential Suite for a small cocktail party. The guests included Robert Dow- liog, owner of the Carlyle, Col, Serge Obolensky, the hotel exe- cutive who is also known as "the best waltzer in America," Henry Ford II, Princess Radziwill and her husband, who is a London businessman, the Leland -Hay- wards (she is the former Pamela Churchill), and Mrs, Kennedy's stepbrother end his wife, Mr, and Mrs. Hugh D. Auchincloes Jr. The party broke up at 8:30 and the Pr'esident's wife, with her sister, left with the Auchlnelos- ses, They' dined at L'Ermitage to take any chances—Dee should see him first. He was the colour of chocolate and quite a bit big- ger than the average cocker spaniel. Next morning Dee and the three boys went by street- car to see the pup and Dee fell for him on the spot. He was such a friendly, lovable little fellow she just couldn't resist him. So the dog was bought and, paid for — the next problem was to get him home. Not only the dog but his dishes, brush and comb, col- lar and chain and some dog food, However Dee is the type who will tackle anything at times and this was one of those occasions . . all the way home on the Queen street ear! The worst part was getting dog and boys all assembled in the same spot at the same time to get off the crowded street-car. That same night, after Friday night shop- ping, they all came along for their accustomed visit — with the pup of course, so we could see what. we thought of him. I am glad to say we liked him as much as they did. He is longer in the leg than the average spaniel. From his appearance I would say -he is a mixture of water spaniel and Irish, setter. His name is "Gustav" 'and he is six months old. Already he takes a lot of good-natured; mauling from the boys. They just love him. Dee will need to love him too as he .isn't house-trained! His 'former owners were Finnish folk' and they bought him as a wee pup hoping to overcome their little girl's fear of dogs. But it didn't work so Gustav spent a good deal of time In the cellar. With a timid, three-year- old child to look after and an- other on the way the lady of the , house couldn't give the dog the attention he should have had. However, I think Gus will now find he finally got the better of the bargain. Friday night, of course, we were faced with the problem of keeping peace between the two dogs — Taffy and Gus. Taffy had never had another dog in- vade his home territory — ex- cept poor old Honey'who was so old and fat Taffy treated her more like a stuffed toy. There . was a little snapping and snarl- ing on Tally's part when Gus first Came in but then he decided it was really fun to have some- one to play with and after that they got along fine. I'm telling you what with three boys and two dogs this place was little short of a madhouse Friday night. Ditto, I might add, took , to the front bedroom and didn't show up, again until after the crowd had gone. Well, the laet few days we have had a greater problem than dogs to contend with. Our town- ship water supply is contamin- ated. I'm not sure "contamin- ated" is the right word to use as we are told whatever has got into the water is not in any way poisonous, Poison or not it has made the water quite undrink- able, Even dishes after being washed have the phenol odour clinging to them, We understand seepage from the oil refineries has somehow reached the town- ship filtration plant.
