A LAD'S REMORSE
"Dear Anne Hirst: I am 25,
and have been in love with a
girl for twd years. After I came
back from my service abroad a
year ago I went generally hay-
wire; I was unfaithful to her, I
drank too much and was just
no-good. She broke the engage-
ment.
didn't care so much then,
but as the months passed I
realized what a wonderful per-
son she was.
'
I'd do anything to
get her back. I have changed
completely, I haven't been out
on a date for several months. I
have stopped drinking, and I am
trying hard to be the man she
wanted me to be.
"How can I prove it? I've
been afraid to approach her at
all, and I'm not even sure she
still cares. A HEEL."
* Write the truth, the truth.
* Tell her that now you know
* how outrageously you be-
* hayed, betraying her love and
* her faith, and you know you
* do not deserve her forgiveness.
* But now that you realize
* how deeply you offended her,
* you are going straight, and
* trying to become again the
* man she once loved. All you
* ask is the chance to prove it.
* Can she soften her heart?
* If she has any affection for
* you, such a letter should touch
* her . . . If she does not reply,
* write 'one of her parents and
* ask for intercession. Good
* luck! * *

Try Making Faces
Do you want to look younger?
A Cape Town beautician who
declares that men generally look
younger than women because
they pull faces while shaving.
This, she says, exercises the
muscles and keeps the skin toned
up.
Pulling faces is the best thing
in the world for keeping that
youthful look whether you are
man or woman.
If you want to preserve your
skin, say "Ah!" opening your
eyes as if in surprise, "Oo-oo!"
as if kissing and "Ee-ee!" as if
a "crooked grin," blow out and
imaginary candle or blow a fea-
ther around your head.
If you do these things, the
beautician maintains, you'll have
that fresh look of youth.
Together 'a pt
Divided. Sid Caesar and Imo..
gene Coca fell,
Supremely successful for five
years as the husband-and-wife
team of "Your Show of Shows,"
the two found their individual
popularity dwindling, after they
broke up in 1954. In May, after
a season of poor ratings in the
face of ABC's "Lawrence Welk
Show," Caesar left NBC, Miss.
Coca, her own TV show a fail-
Itre, has been appearing on the
Age,
Last month, Caesar and Coca
came to the well-tested conclu-
sion that in union there is
strength, According to Caesar,
they'll do a weekly half-hour
show, "a condensed form of
'Casear's Hour'." Miss Coca
'thinks the reunion is "'just
lovely," The fact that the re-
union was engineered by an
NBC executive, Hal Janis, sug-
gests the show will be presented
by that network. Caesar, how-
ever, was evasive: "I'm not at
liberty to say at this time, Noth-
ing has been finalized as yet."
There's a chance the show won't
be ready by the start of next
season.
Whenever it is ready, how-
'ever, Howard Morrs, Pat Car-
roll, and Shirl Conway—mem-
bers of the "Caesar's Hour" cast
—won't be a part of it.
Morris, a veteran of nine years
with Caesar, remarked: "The
huge and brilliant talents of Sid
and. Imogene will consume all
the time in a half-hour formt,
as they should, a n d there
wouldn't be much left for me."
Miss Carroll explained: "I
won't be back on the program
as I'm having another baby," As
for Miss- Conway, she said when
`Caesar's Hour" was abolished.-
last spring that she wants to
return to Broadway and try
some dramatic roles.

Out-Of-Work Poet
Downcast because Queen
Elizabeth II hasn't asked him to
write any verse since the Cor-
onation four years ago, Britain's
aging (79) Poet Laureate John
1Vlasefield stared out the window
of his study in Dorchester 'a't"I'ts
weed-choked garden. "I once
made a vow that no thistle
would ever flourish there," he
said sadly. "Now I'm too old' to
stop them." Masefield, who has
been the royal poet since 1920,
gets 272 ($201.60) a year plus
£27 ($75.60) in lien of the tradi-
tional butt of sack—the 108
Imperial gallons of wine that
'monarchs used to contribute' to
encourage poetic inspiration. He
recalled that a nineteenth-cen-
tury predecessor, R6bert Sout-
hey, a balladeer besieged by
creditors,, succeeded in getting
the sack converted to cash. "I
am jolly glad he did," said IVIase-
field, "I am a teetotaler."
STOLEN SHOES
Who stole ono of Margot Fon-

When Miss Fonteyn danced at
the Johannesburg Festival last
year she presented one of her
ballet shoes to the Africana Mu-
sewn and the' other to the City
Council. This one was to be
buried in a stainless-steel cylin-
der in the loundatien of the new
civic centre, but some Margot
Fonteyn fan has walked off with

first get her nose through and
then gradually push and shove
until the meshed wire is stretch-
ed enough to let her whole head
through. Then she really has a
feast, especially if what grows
on the other side is standing oats
or luscious second-crop alfalfa.
When everything within reach
is cheWed to the ground Bossie
decides it is time to withdraw.
Ah, but that is easier said than
done. She twists her head this
way and that—queer, what went
through so easily should' be so
hard to get back. 'Horns, of
course, complicate the situation
still further. After awhile she
tires and quits struggling, de-
cides to stand quiet and chew
her cud. Maybe it is during
this rest period the farmer, his
hired help or perhaps his wife
or children come along and
notice Bossie hung up in the
fence. Whoever sees her natural-
ly goes to her assistance, some-
times with unpleasant results.
For some unknown reason Bossie
generally gets excited when
someone comes along; perhaps
the outcome of a guilty con-
science. After all, had she stay-
ed on 'her side of the fence she
would not be in her present pre-
dicament. So the would-be
rescuer has to work very quietly.
Whichever way you try tb
stretch the wires Bossie nearly
always pulls in the opposite di-
rection. You get one horn pushed
back and then the other one
gets caught. You grab hold of a
horn with one hand and try
stretching the wire with the
other. At the strategic moment,
when head and horns are almost
free, Bossie gives a sudden lurch
and you are back where you
started—head and both horns on
the wrong side of the fence.

a situation—generally with. little
succesS. Usually I gave. up and
either called Partner to the res-

Modern
Etiquette . . .
by Roberta Lee
'Q. Who goes first down the
aisle of a motion picture theatre,
the man, or the woman?
A, The, 'woman precedes. And
unless she is with her husband,
fiance or someone she knows
real well, 'she should turn to
him anthask, "Is this all right?"
This gives him a chance—should
he be near or farsighted—to
suggest a seat that is closer or
farther away..
Q. How soon after receiving
an invitation to a large dinner
party should one send one's ac-
ceptance or regrets?,
A. Immediately. Nothing is
more inconsiderate or' ill-bred
than to keep a hostess waiting
for a reply, since she must have
time to invite substitute guests.
Q. Should a woman thank a
waiter in a restaurant when lie
holds her chair for her?'"
A. Although this is not neces-
sary, there still is nothing wrong
with it.
Q. Is it really considered good
manners to use the handkerchief
while at the dinner table?
A. "Good manners" really do
not enter this situation so snub!)
as "necessity." When one abso-
lutely has to use a handkerchief,
one should try to do so as in-
conspicuously and quietly as
possible.
Q. If one is in doubt as to
whether an invitation can be ac-
cepted, how should the acknow-
ledgment be worded?
A. You MUST state definitely
whether or not you can accept
the invitation. It is imperative
always to, reach a decision before
answering.
Q. 'If one is offered a cigarette,
and prefers to smoke one's own
brand, is it rude to refuse the
proferred cigarette?
A. No.
