And, of course, I have to make many telephone calls for him.

Will you put (her boss's name) on the telephone?" And she will reply: "Is your boss on the line?" And I will say "No. But he will he on the line as soon as you put your boss on the line." And then sm snorts: "Why should I put my boss on the line first? You put yours on." And I will reply: "But I called you first. And fur Dear Mrs. Why can't I get my teenage son to read? Both my husband and I always have been exhaustive readers, and our library is certainly the finest one in our neighborhood.

But Johnny, IB, won't have a thing to do with liooks, apart from what he actually reads In school. He doesn't know Dickens, Thackeray, Hawthorne none of the writers that delighted us when we were his age and I doubt whether he ever has read a poem In his life. All he thinks about, when he doesn't simply have to study school work, is automobiles, rock 'n' roll records, talking on the telephone. These, I suppose, are all right in their place. Rut their place, in my judgment, ought to be far below the reading of good hooks, the literature that has made our culture.

Troubled Mother I'm not one to say that the present teenage generation is illiterate and completely ill read. For this isn't categorically true. But it certainly is true, by and large, that the teenagers I meet do not seem to be giving their time to the great joy of learning our literary heritage. Perhaps they've got too many things now radio, television, beatenup cars and record players that we certainly never had. But it's their generation and only time will tell how they come out.

"I was valedictorian of my high school class. After graduation I got a job as a legal secretary." The Grosses met through a high school honorary to which they both belonged.

As club secretary, Bernice sent Easter cards to all alumni, Including Capt. Cal Gross, U. S. Army. The correspondence flowered.

Our house thermore, I don't like to take my boss's time while you are trying to find your boss to get him on the line." And she will snap: "But why should I waste my hoss's time rather than you wasting your boss's time?" That's the way it goes. I get madder and madder until I finally get my boss on the line first, although I do not think it is fair, and I assure you my boss doesn't think so, either. Mrs. Mayfield, is there any etiquet that covers this problem? Sore Secretary I don't know that there are any hard and fast rules of etiquet that cover this situation. If there were, I suspect there still would remain the necessity of negotiations between secretaries.

Actually, don't you think the problem is far more serious between secretaries than it is- between the bosses involved? I doubt whether businessmen really care which one of them gets on the line first. But, anyhow, won't it he fun when television becomes a regular part of telephone conversation? Then secretaries can stick out their tongues at each other. M. M. Dear Mrs.

Mayfield: Isn't there something that can be done to keep doctors from having affairs with their nurses: I happen to have been a patient of at least a dozen doctors the last few years, and I can swear that every one of them was involved with his girl in white. I definitely saw one doctor pinch his nurse. when he was supposed to be exam-ing me. Naturally I didn't like this. I told him so, and he became so mad that he said it would be better if I went to another doctor.
