There's nothing like a three-

Claim American women are lazy:
and spoiled,
The housewife may be the only
non -specialist left in this world
of specialization. She must be all
things to a considerable number
of people.
She is responsible for the phy-
sical, mental and spiritual wel-
fare of anywhere from one to a
dozen children and adults. She
superintends growing -up in the
fastest-growing era man has ever
known. She must know and have
faith — indeed, must BE an ar-
ticle of faith — in a faithless age,
In a time of doubt and fear, she ,
It must betrayno bewilderment or
insecurity. She must be an island
of 'calm in a frantic world,
If a woman in a Chinese com-
munity works in a rice paddy,
(someone minds her children and
keeps house, If a European wo-
man must discharge high social
obligations, some one else cooks.
If an Eskimo wife must cook and
keeps house and mind the chil-
dren,- her man does the shopping
with his gun.
The American woman must
rear a model family, shop, cook,
keep house inside and out, enter-
tain and keep a man happy. To
help her,, she has gadgets;, and
because these theoretically give
her leisure time, she is expected
to participate in great numbers
of activities for church and
school, country and community
and family and neighbor.
She must be the intellectual
academic and artistic equal of
both husband and children so she
doesn't bring shame ,to them, but
she must never overshadow
them. She must dream with man
and child and at the same time
be terribly practical. She must
know more rules than a lawyer
and more truth than the great-
est philosopher, and be always
more just than justice. She must
be strong and weak, somber and
gay, sympathetic and tough,de-
vious and direct.
She has to work before a man's
day begins and long after his day
has ended, but always be fresh
and beautiful. And if she finds
time to open a magazine, she is
sure to find there an article tell-
ing her how lazy and selfiish and
inadequate she is.
She must give infinitely and
receive infinitesimally — and be
happy with it.

Just What's In That
Little Black Bag?
Just what do doctors carry in
their little black bags? Often,
some surprising equipment, the
journal Medical Economics re-
ported last month. A survey of
1,100 general practitioners and
specialists :turned up these in-
triguing items and comments by
the doctors: A bent hairpin ("a
quicker and more efficient instru-
ment than any other for re-
moving foreign bodies from ear
or nose"): blank checks ("fomthe
smart patient who flashes a $50
or $100 bill at 2 a.m ") ; wire
cutters for removing fishhooks
("I've removed about 300 in the
past 6 years"); and bubble gum
("with children, it's synonymous
with injections").
On the other hand, a surprising
number of bags (they weigh'be-
tween 10 and 20 pounds) lack
equipment which most laymen
consider essential. The stetho-
scope, for example is not carried
_ x (or considered necessary) by 15
per cent of the GP's. Even ther-
mometers are left at the office by
10 per cent of "them.
The eloquence of thespeaker
is in direct proportion to the
number of nap -takers in the
audience.
WINTER TRAINING — Yankee baseball Etor Gil McDouga,ld
takes over the controls of his son's model train in his home,
Headhunter Wore
A Bawler' Hat
Can any family rival the re-
cord of the painter F, W. Hay-
man Chaffey for world travel?
In 1949 he and his wife, Patri-
cia, sold all they possessed and
left their old Sussex' farmhouse
on the Rother, intending to
roam Europe with ,their year-
old daughter, Susan, in a carry-
cot. In feet, they roamed the
• world.
They earned their keep paint-
ing, typing, guarding embassies,.
guiding tourists, holding exhi-
bitions and selling Chaffey's
paintings. They bought an old
Moorish house on the island of
Majorca and arranged an exhi-
bition in Madrid.
Chaffey gives a graphic ac-
count of their adventures in
"The Road Grew No Moss," il-
lustrated with his own photo-
graphs and drawings.
In 1955, while in Mexico City,
Chaffey received a cable from
London offering him a one-man
show at the Hanover Gallery in
February, 1958, So they set out
to cross Central and South Am-
erica to Rio de Janeiro and re-
turn to England by way of Afri-
ca, earning their keep en route
just as they had in Europe.
They travelled 10,000 miles by
bus, car, train and 'plane from
Mexico to Caracas, Venezuela,
drove another 100,000 miles
south in a Land -Rover present-
ed to them there by a car firm,
sailed 4,000 miles to Cape
Town, drove 7,000 miles in
South Africa, then sailed an-
other 4,600 miles to Southamp-
ton.
On this journey Chaffey took
thousands of feet of cine film,
and 5,000 colour photographs. Ile
painted enough for six -one man -
exhibitions in different cities.
When they arrived back their
children — Susan, ten, and
Charles, seven — had probably
travelled farther and seen more
of the world than any children
of their .age anywhere.
At one point their train had
to creep along rails dented and
mishapen by a cyclone. Their
bus journeys and car -lifts were
sometimes over roads strewn
with boulders or thick mud,
skirting mountain chasms.
In their Land Rover, they had
to cross swollen rivers, through
darkness and torrential rain,
scarcely knowing land from wa-
ter, before reaching the Peru-
vian frontier.
Near Lanquin, Guatemala, he
saw one river, the Semue, car-
ried across another, the. Cabe -
bon, by a natural bridge, the
only one of its kind in the
world, Nearly eight hundred
yards long, over' one, hundred
yards wide, it had been formed
by calcium carbonate deposits
and petrified vegetation gradu-
ally thrusting outwards through
the centuries.
At Nicaragua's oldest city,
Granada,' they stood on the
shore of a great lake which has
three hundred and ten small
islands and probably the only
fresh -water sharks in the world.
While they were crossing Col-
lombianews came of a terrible
disaster at Cali. Four army lor-
ries laden with nitro-glycerine
head blown up in the barracks
square, demolishing thousands
of 'houses, buses, cars and trains.
Chaffey flew there to photo-
graph the ruins, and in the blaz-
ing heat wandered for hours
among the rubble, smoke and
dust and mangled bodies.
Three thousand were buried
in a common grave in the main
cemetery, which had been torn
up itself.
In Quitos, Ecuador, he met Dr.
Fergusson, an authority' on the
Jivaro head-shrinkers. He told
him that afterthe fierce Indi-
ans -had attacked a Spanish
colonial outpost General Santi-
seben, commanding the Peruvi-
an Amazon area, sent out a pu-
nitive . force of 'three hundred
men and officers armed with
rifles and machine guns. •
None returned, but almost a
year later he found one morn-
ing, in front of the door of his
office, the dried and' shrunken
heads of all he had sent on the
expedition!
Chaffey went into the jungle
villages and saw some shrun-
ken heads; but never penetrated
the secret of how they were
treated. The Jivaros he found in
Sucoa had traded with white,
visitors and exchanged monkey -
teeth bracelets and monkey -skin
bags for old clothes, and these
they never removed, even to
sleep.
The Chief, Quinindo, wore an
old Air Force cap which he had
not removed for over two years.
Another Jiver.. had ' worn a
short-cut evening waistcoat for
the same period. An older man
was greatly. pleased with him-
self in a battered, grey -black
bowler, wearing below it only
a loincloth!

SWIM Posed' A's
Queen's Sister
The wealthy guests laughed
and talked excitedly as they
awaited the arrival of the royal
Cxincess. - sister of Queen
harlotte of England -- who
was touring the state of Mary-
land, US.
The princess's host had spar-
ed no expense to make the oc-
casion memorable, and every
landowner for miles around
envied his good fortune in en-
tertaining a royal visitor.
Three trumpets sounded, and
the master of eeremenies cried:
"Her Royal highness, the Prin-
cess Susanna Caroline Matilda."
Men bowed and woman curtsied
as a slim, beautifully gowned
young girl entered the room.
With great dignity the lovely
princess received the salutations
`of the excited guests. Then, on
the arm of her host, a wealthy
planter, she moved to her place
of honour at the head of the
decorated table.
Outside, newspaper reporters
were busy scribbling notes of ,
the splendid scene. A n d the
princess was so gay and charm-
ing that nobody 'bothered to
wonder why she should be tour-
ing the smaller towns of Ameri-
ca. After all, it was known that
several other rich planters had
beenhonoured by her presence
I -during the last few weeks, and
every .hostess was 'angling to
have the royal visitor for her
own guest,
Then one of the reporters
passed a slip of paper to a ser-
,vant, On it were the words:
"She is a maid named Sarah
Wilson, but has changed'. her
name to Princess Susanna Caro-
line Matilda."
The "princess," in fact, was a
runaway slave., and at last events
were catching up with her. lu
the meantime, she smiled and
joked, oblivious of what was
to happen.
How did this amazing adven-
ture begin? Sarah Wilson was
born at a sleepy Staffordshire
village in 1750. A smart girl,
she attracted the notice of, a
local lady, Caroline Vernon, a
Maid of Honour to the Queen -
While still in her teens, Sarah
went to London with her new
employer, as maidservant at the
Queen's House, on the site of
the present Buckingham Palace.
One night in 1771, Sarah no-
ticed that one of the Queen's
rooms was unguarded. Know-
ing that everyone was down-
stairs, she tiptoed into the room,
grabbed some of the dresses
and jewels which were there
and darted .away, Returning for
a second load she was spotted
by Mrs. Von Schellenberg, who
caught her before she could es-
cape.
Next day Sarah Wilson ap
peared before Lord Talbot,' the
Lord High Steward, who sen-
tenced her to life transportation,
Within a month she' was on her
way to America, where she was
sold to an employer who put
her to work in his kitchens. But
somehow she managed to smug-
gle with her a couple of gowns
and some of : the jewels which
she had stolen and hidden in
her room.
Having spent many w'?ae ry
months in Maryland, she decid-
ed to make a dash for freedom.
She knew all about Court life
from gossip in the servants'
quarters. She knew, too, how
great ladies dressed and behav-
ed. Wrapping her stolen tro-
phies in a bundle, she fled on
foo t to another state, There,
with an accomplice, she let it
be known that a sister of the
Qu e en Charlotte of England
was soon' to visit the district.
The rich landowners were all
agog to be the first to entertain
the "princess,"' and Sarah Wil-
son soon had a long list of in-
vitations. With great skill she
contrived to "arrive" at night,
with one maidservant. This may
sound strange t oda y, but in
those days the people in the
remoter parts of America knew
very little of royal etiquette.
For quite a while, the "prin-
cess" duped the district, living
free at all the best houses.
Then came the tell-tale slip of
paper, and once more she was
on the run. She was eventually
caught at Charleston, South
Carolina, and was taken back
to where, she belonged.
But once again this amazing
young woman escaped, though
this time she did not pretend
to be a princess. She simply
told people that she was an
English lady. For a while she
Managed to live by her wits and
then, with a stroke of luck, she
found herself in a town garri-
soned by a crack English regi-
ment

regiment was William Talbot, e
kinsman of the nobleman who
had sentenced her to• be trans-
ported. Wearing her best. gown,

How Can I?
By Anne Ashley
Q. Row can I repair some bare
spots on the back of a mirror?
A. You can often make a suc-
cessful job of this simply by cov-
ering bare spots with aluminum
foil, securing this to the glass
with shellac or glue.
Q. How can I make a remedy
for wrinkles across the forehead?
A, Soak a linen bandage in
equal parts of alcohol and the
white of an egg, and bind it to
the forehead, allowing it to re-
main overnight.
Q. How can I prevent the un-
sightly crease that often results
when trousers have been hang-
ing for some time on a wire Coat
hanger?
A. One way is to place a news-
paper under the trousers while
they are on the hanger. Or. loop
a piece of cardboard over the
hanger. Don't fold; let it curve
gently, and fasten it with paper
clips at the bottom.
Q. Row can I keep leather lug-
gage, handbags, briefcases, and
other such goods in good condi-
tion?
A. After dusting or washing
with a cloth wrung out of pure
soapsuds, apply some neat's-foot`
oil, lanolin, or castor oil — all of
which are good leather - condi-
tioners.
Q. What is a gttick and easy
way of mixing leftover paint?
A. Try dropping a couple of
marbles or ball bearings into the
can before sealing. The objects
eventually will become embed-
ded in the thickening paint in
the bottom of the can, Then,
when sealed can is shaken vigor-
ously, the marbles or bearings
will not rattle until the thicken-
ed paint has begun to mix with
the oil. As soon as the objects
rattle freely, you will knew that
the paint le well mixed,
