www iMOLLY i MAYFIELDj PAGE 32 PITTSBURGH PRESS, JANUARY 22, 1953 Fashion-Head First Hubby's a Cut-up At Conventions And Wifie Says She Has Put Up With It for the Last Time Vr-r? 7V CHAIRMAN OF ORGANIZATIONS Mrs. Joseph J. Keenan, center, gets together with her committee for the Congress of Clubs donor luncheon March 26. Seated on either side of Mrs. Keenan, are Mrs.

Elmer L. Kaercher and Mrs. James King, behind them are Mrs. Carl W. Holmes and Mrs.

Donald F. Burr. Dear afrs. Mayfield: What: is there about conventions that drive some men nuts? What is it that makes them lose their control and throw refinement to the wind? Unfortunately, my husband is one of the "conventional coots." But I have put up with it for the last time. We have just come back from a recent gathering where he, my darling, dearest husband, put on a show to end all shows.

He got ripping, roaring skunk drunk, and then went into his little act The "act" lasted the entire week end. First, my little hunbie pie. stood on table In a tavern and recited bawdy poetry. Then he slid down the bannister from the mezzanine to the lobby, and nearly broke a leg. Then he pinched the elevator girl.

Then, when we finally got him to our room he succeeded in swinging from the door sill and shouting am king of the apes!" I think he is, and of the jackasses, too. For some young thing just back from years in service, okay, let him have his fling. Why not? But when a gray-haired professional man with a paunch starts acting like a wild baboon, well, that's different. As I have said, I will never put up with this again, never. But how shall I manage him? He'll see this letter, of course, and so will some of his pals.

If he's embarrassed, maybe he'll know how I felt. Mad Wife. Dear Mad Why don't you let your husband go to his conventions and enjoy himself? If he behaves perfectly respectably around town, why shouldn't he be allowed to cut up a little when he gets away with a gay group? You know. Mad Wife, you can't expect any husband, not even a gray-haired, paunchy, professional man, to mind his P'b and Q's all the time. A little fling now and then is good for him, relaxes him, and makes him feel a boy again.

Don't be stuffy about it. Or at least try not to. I know how you feel. No wife likes to watch her husband make a fool of himself. It's sort of painful, isn't it? My suggestion is that you let him go to the conventions alone and really enjoy himself.

Or else, if you insist on going with him, resolve to wear your thickest coat of tolerance. M. M. Note to Nervous Wreck: If you and the man you want to marry are always quarreling about your two-year-old son now, don't expect things to get better after the wedding. How can you possibly have a happy home under such circumstances? Better give this a little more thought before plunging into another marriage.

M. M. Dear Puzzled: Your husband and children deserve your first attention, rather than your parents. Didn't you promise to forsake all others when you took your marriage vows? It would be a sad mistake to Insist your husband give up his good job here to go back where your parents live. Especially when you say they never did get along together, are apart now, and that your father drinks heavily.

You married at a very young age to get away from this fighting -and unhappiness at home, you say. Why don't you arrange to go back for a visit? See for yourself how things are. A trip back would probably cure any pangs of homesickness you have, and might also settle a lot of problems that bother you now. M. M.

Note Worried Mom: What you learned by reading your daughter's diary is most distressing. If she is in the trouble you suspect, give her an opportunity to tell you about it herself. If she doesn't, then bring up the subject. Admit to her you did wrong to read her diary. But don't preach or scold.

What she needs more than anything else right now is sympathy, love and understanding if what she has written in her diary is true. M. M. Do you have a personal problem? Then write to Molly Mayfield, Box 476, The Pittsburgh Press.

If you are over 40, chances are you have clung to the same style that looked right ten years ago or more. Young women tend to accept a change in hair styling more readily. But if you are over 40 and do change your way of wearing your hair according to new style trends, you are to be congratulated. The older a woman grows, the more important it becomes to have the hair complement facial changes, rather than call attention to sagging lines which invariably develop- with age.

Good Foundation Proper cutting and shaping are positively necessary in order to create a good foundation for styling. Equally important is a soft permanent. A tight, crimpy wave is what many women insist upon simply because they have grown accustomed to that kind. When you go to a hairdresser, choose one you have confidence in and don't start off by giving instructions how to style your hair. A competent, trained operator who knows his or her job will give you a flattering style If you don't Insist on the same old way you have always worn your hair.

In general, hair that sweepsxup and away from the face gives a "lift" that Is more youthful than dips over forehead and cheeks. Give ft a Chance Be open-minded about the new style. Give yourself a chance to grow accustomed to it. Chances are you should Shadyside Sisters Engaged Recently Announcement has been made of the engagement of two daughters of Mrs. Ernst Frederic Brand, of Shadyside, and the late Rev.

He said, "Among your friends, do (you know any social worker who has had enough executive experience to direct our agency? For the right man, the salary is $10,000 a year. We have voted this sum because this is a demanding job and calls for a combination of unusual qualities." I could hardly wait for him to finish to tell him that I Indeed knew of such a person, and promised to try to produce my friend for a luncheon meeting the following Thursday. I hung up and joyfully dialed the number of my social worker friend with the combination of unusual qualities.

He is the father, of two little boys. 2- Waiting for him to answer, I thought, "How it would be for the children to, get out the country away from the slum orphanage where their father works!" Then my 'friend was on the phone to be "given my message. After I delivered it, there was a pause. Not a long one. A pause of about ten seconds.

Then the father with the two little sons to feed, clothe and send one day to universities, said, "I can't take it, Muriel. The kids here have had three directors come and go within the past 12 months. They don't trust grownups any more. So I can't run out on them. I'm sorry.

It was kind of you to think of me.n He is making $5000 a year. After Td hung up, I thought, "This I must tell to as many fathers and mothers as I can reach. Perhaps it will bring some quiet to those of us who are spending strength ren-ziedly accumulating money. for homes in the country, college tuitions, new television sets and Insurance premiums." Because no matter how fast we're going, must surely see that the two little boys who live with their parents in the director's top-floor apartment In the slum orphanage are very rich little boys. Solidly rich, so that no tax can consume nor inflation devalue the wealth they will inherit from their father.

So I have jiot been saddened by my friend's refusal to improve his outward conditions by selling out the trust of 30 children in "his orphanage.
