They are leading full and busy lives.

Cards, gifts, letters, telegrams telephone calls bring each of her children close on this day, as I see it, is the great blessing of having a special day for mothers.

To avoid catching the iron in cutwork, lace, or a mesh motif, cover the part to be ironed with a square of white tisr.ue paper or one of hubby's handkerchiefs.

It is not even the cards and gifts from children at home. Mothers who are still active as such have no great need for a special day. They know they are needed every day of the year. But mothers whose children are grown need now and then to have put into words the warming assurance that the love of a child for his mother is not lessened by separation, but only becomes more deep as the child grows in maturity. So long as there is a special day for mothers once a year, a bit of what grown-up children feel for their mothers will be expressed.

The famous big orbs, that is, of Hedy Lamarr, who changed her address to Houston, Texas, and her occupation to oil millionaire's wife when she married W.

Howard Lee four years ago. "No, everything is fine at home," still gorgeous Hcdy fold me. denying she's again on the career trail because of oft-rumored domestin fussin' and fight- In'. Her family still conies first, says flvc-tlmes-marrled, mother- oftwo Hedy, "but show mo a good script and I'll bo there." Her recent role of Joan of Arc In Warners' "The Story of Mankind" her first Hollywood movie since her appetite for more, she says, MGM movies on TV have given her a career boost and she has ap peared "live" with Jack Benny on the CBS-TV Shower of Stars to prove she's still "The Face" and not just a legend. Also about to release her Italian-made film, "The Loves of Three Queens," the onetime queen of movie glamor dolls flashed me the news that she's planning a book about her career.

The title? It could be an eyebrow lifter. All she'd say was: "Now don't you wish I'd tell you?" ARK WE HEADED for a cycle of movies with provocative openings? There was Carroll Baker's thumb sucking in "Baby Doll" and now a closeup shot of Jeanne Carmen's quivering lips for the opening of "Untamed Youth." What next? Burt Lancaster's nostrils for "The Secret Smell of Kirk Douglas' feet for "Paths of Spencer Tracey's elbows for "The Desk Or Shirley Booth's perspiring brow for "Hot Jack Benny's latest howler on the color of his eyes: "Bluer than an Eskimo fan dancer's hips!" I guess Las Vegas has given up the subtle approach. A billboard ad here for one of the big hotels appeals, in big letters: "Bring Your Money!" Switch on movie glamor baths: Sophia Loren takes a mud bath with John Wayne as a laughing onlooker in "Legend of the Lost." HAS ANYONE MENTIONED those enduring Young charms? Robert Young, nominated for an Emmy for the telefilm series, "Father Knows Best," is the almost-every-night star of an old movie on TV. But as "Father," Young doesn't look too much older. Jayne Mansfield's Mr.

America hoy friend, Mickey Hargltay, will play a free-swinging TV jungle hero in the film version of "Will Success Spoil Kock Hunter?" The play, you know, kidded Hollywood but the film version will spoof the TV industry. The Witnet: Hollywood's current passion for trick names is filtering through to the non-professional set. When a friend asked Harry Nannes to suggest a name for a baby girl he's adopting, Nannes said: "Why don't you call her 'Truly Yours'?" THIS IS HOLLYWOOD, Mrs. Jones: All the despicable characters in "Sweet Smell of Success" cued to this on-thc-set comment: "If we had a dog in this picture he'd have hydrophobia." Not in the Script: Dianne Foster, about Hollywood's fad to have gone to two or more analysts: "It's called musical couches." Don Murray is following Frank Sinatra's arm-baring as a dope addict in "Hatful of Rain" but this time it's in a "helpful, constructive story showing," says Don, "that addiction is a disease and not a habit." If the picture was just another shocker "I wouldn't have done it." Between scenes Don's working on a TV play about Iron Curtain refugees in Naples, which he hopes will become a movie. He spent two years there observing refugees first hand and says, "There's nothing more accurate than some of the actual events I'm dramatizing." Tony Martin just hit his 15th million-record sale.
