Use a foreign language and he doesn't stutter. Or address the waves a la Demosthenes, or dogs and horses, and he can speak smoothly. Donnie also needed more sleep and less eyestrain at the TV screen!

(Cenyrlght her life, after Alice learned that she had cancer, were the most radiantly happy of all. Let me try to tell you the story of the frail 47-year-old woman whom the world knew for her clowning ways in Bewitched on TV, and in such films as "Kiss Me Stupid," "Dear Heart," "My Six Loves," "Glass Bottom Boat" and many successes on the Broadway stage. It happened to Alice Pearce that the greatest tragedy, and the greatest love of her life, came along at approximately the same time.

An operation two years ago revealed that she had incurable cancer. And as this bitter blow fell across her life, she met director Paul Davis, a treat warm bear-type of a man. In as short a time as it takes for a plant to blossom in the spring, a great and wonderful love bloomed for them. There were two roads for Alice to take. To close herself in with black tragedy.

Or to take Paul's hand and say, "for what little time is left, we will walk in great happiness." She chose the latter. Special Bonne Bell Beauty Bonus! Special Ten -0-Six Combination! Regular 8 oz. bofle. pu5 2 oz. traveler, S3.) ARLINQTON e.

JONES" Adult Entertainment A' ejl I MET THE Davises for the first time at a small party Ross Hunter gave for the newlyweds soon after their wedding. It was one of the laughing-est evenings I have ever spent. We knew Alice had been in the hospital (but not for what reason). And she kept us hilarious with story after story of the "amusing" things which befall a patient. No one laughed at her nonsense harder than Paul.

Until the tears rolled down his face, actually. Together they had opened a small art shop and picture framing studio called Alice, the true raconteur, had story after story to tell about the crazy things that crop up daily when "actor-people" take up a "legitimate" business. But she was happiest of all about their honeymoon trip to Honolulu. "We're going to one of the small islands just hanging a sign on our shop, 'We've gone fishing, and surfing and suntanning. Be back when we please." They went back again to Honolulu six months ago.

Alice sent me postcards, "We're coming back each year just heaven, that's all." When they returned from the islands, Aliee went to bed. And never left' it. DAYTIMES, Paul tended the shop, nights he spent propped up in Alice's big bed looking at TV shows with her sometimes until dawn. They liked the fun shows best, or the happy love stories. Alice wrote a lot in her journal.

She kept a daily log of her feelings and reactions to drugs, of the good periods she had, and the very bad ones. Without a trace'of self-pity she told Paul to give her journal to a doctor specializing in cancer. "It may be of some value in the treatment," she said. One of the entries she made was, "I feel the progress of the disease in my case may be unusual. Because of my mental attitude.

I am a supremely happy woman. I have never been beautiful, but I have been blessed with a rich career and the love of two rine, fine men (her first husband died). The strength I have found in the devotion of my dear Paul is beyond measure. "Even when he is gone, I do not feel the, black helplessness 3-Point By GEORGE W. CRANE PH.

M. D. CASE Y-457: Donnie 6 years old, has a widespread problem. "Dr. Crane," his worried grandmother began, "Donnie often will stutter.

"The veins in his neck will swell up and he will struggle so hard to speak, yet not be be able to make a sound. "Our pediatrician says he will outgrow it, and tells us not to worry about Donnie. "But Donnie also sucks his thumb when he is tired or watching tele Crane vision. "Sometimes his speech is normal but then, all of a sud-d he may be unable to utter a word. "I am.concerned about Donnie for he is going to start to school next term, so what can we do to help him?" STUTTERING IS entirely normal in toddlers.

For their "understanding" vocabulary is greater than their "speaking" vocabulary. You realize that this is a natural result of learning any new language. For example, if you have studied Spanish, French or German in high school, you can read or understand it much better than you can speak the new tongue. At 3 or 4, therefore, this natural stage of stuttering is widespread and soon disap- Marian To Show 'Rashomon' Film "Rashomon," a Japanese film, will be presented in the Marian' College Fine Film Series at 8 p.m. Friday in the college auditorium.

And many cynical ones. This is the beautiful story of a funny little woman named Alice, Pearce who died last week of cancer. She weighed 70 pounds. The obituary notices remarked, "she leaves her husband Paul Davis and her par-ents, Mr. and Mrs.

Donnie is also a high-strung youngster, much like his grand mother, whose excessive concern shows that she is a complicating factor. For when a child is made self-conscious about the natural habit of speaking, he figuratively may get tied up in knots. Confirmed functional stuttering, as seen in older folks, is based on some unusual emotional trauma or humiliating social a ci where the youngster suddenly became self-conscious about his spoken language.

SUCH STUTTERING thus is a specific muscular pattern based on these three points of the "Stutter 1. Use of rsational tones: 2. Of his native language (English in America); 3. While addressing human beings. Make a triangle with those as the points thereof.
