(staff photo) Well-known writer tells secret to A writer who has dealt amusingly with the trials and tribulations of raising six ebullient children wondered recently if she hadn't, just "gone through the things ' that are funny" now .that her children are grown. She is Jean Kerr, author of "Please Don't Eat the Daisies," and a new book of humorous -stories, "Penny Candy," published by Doubleday. Mrs. Kerr acknowledged that as one gets 'older it's not as easy to view . the world in a light-hearted manner, and she's thinking about tackling more serious subjects in the future. She also admitted that even when writing the bounciest of stories, humorous writers don't always feel cheerful. Says Jean 'Kerr: "I would never Write a word if I really waited to be cheery or happy as a lark." On the other hand, Mrs. Kerr points out that the writer had better not ""d'espair either'. She notes that -her stories could have turned out "leaden" rather than light-hearted when she thought about getting away from it .all and fleeing" "to New Zealand with all, my children." But, she asserts, "you can get past it if you•try." You can "con yourself" into being cheerful. "And you can remind yourself," she says wryly, "that some people were happy even during the. War of the Roses:" • Discussing the audience she has sought, to reach, Mrs. Kerr declares, "I think of myself as writing for someone like myself — that is to say, someone with children who's happy enough to be marr ied and isn't planning a divorce or anything, but who doesn't find that life is peaches • of Business Directory • Ronaid L.

Whether or not Jean Kerr feels cheerful herself when she's writing, her books have ap.parently brightened the lives of many, She gets mail, she says, from countless people who write that when "the kids get to be' too much, the rain gets tobe too much, and the dishwasher breaks down," they will read one of her stories ,and "it immediately cheers them,up." She reports she gets similar letters of appreciation from people in hospitals. Jean Kerr also seems to strike a responsive chord in the younger generation because. children, she says, write her frequently. One • of her most ' recent enthusiasts • is her own 11 -year-old son, Gregory. After reading "Penny Candy," he asked his mother to• autograph his copy. When she wrote an affectionate inscription and signed it "Mom; he requested that *she be more formal and sign it "Jean Kerr," as she would for any other fan. He also told her, by way of reviewing the * book, "You're awfully lucky, Mom, to have all those funny kids." Jean Kerr notes that the greatest influence, on her writing is the work of the late humorist Robert Benchley. "I adored Benchley," she says, "and I still reread him. My kidsnow try to read Benchley aloud to me ... and I think they can't be all bad if they read Benchley aloud." . - Mrs. Kerr characterizes Benchley's humor as having a kind of "sweetness." "You never get bangedon the head with it," she declares. "He just does it all with a feather." Mrs. Kerr is also the author of "Mary, Mary," one of the longest -running hits in Broadway history. Her husband, Walter Kerr, is drama critic -for the New York Times. Fresh pork sausages can be pan fried baked or broiled. Cook untiLuniformly browned on the outside and grey on the inside.
