Cocktails were served on a terrace bordered by a rose garden filled with yellow, pink and white blooms. A cosy paneled library contrasted with the more open dining room separated from the entrance hall by three white painted brick pillars. In this hall is a staircase placed against a two- story high sheet of glass.

A gift of clothing or house- ticket is required for admission to the show. Miss Trigere will be the fashion commentator.

The spinach is good for you. You must eat the nice good spinach." Replied the first grader who was playing Jane: "Nuts. Nuts." You can't expect children who've been weaned on TV westerns to take a year of the Dick-and-Jane kind of reader with uniformly high enthusiasm.

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 6 Women producers are scarce as hen's teeth. You can count them on your fingers: Joan Harrison, Betty Box, Harriet Parsons, and Helen Winston, the youngest of them all.

She's the only one, so far as she knows, to own her own production setup; she gets 'the money for her pictures and arranges their distribution. Such all-around activity calls for a combination Lilith and P. T. Barnum, with the energy and industry of an Argentine ant. And this 30-year-old Canadian has ft.

She recentiy signed a multipicture deal with Twentieth Century-Fox and it took her five minutes of fast talking to persuade Peter Levathes of the world-wide sale possibilities of her property. She owns rights to the "Dr. Doolittle" series which every studio in town has tried to buy from Mrs. Hugh Lofting, the author's widow. "The series is in its 48th reprint," Helen told me.

"It sells a million copies a year and is published in every country in the world including Russia, Germany, and Israel. I went to Peter Sellers about playing the title role when I was in England and he's fascinated with the idea. Dr. Doolittle is a quaint little man who understands the language of animals and I worked out a gimmick for actors and animals which obviates the use of cartoon strip one reason for Mrs. Lofting's not dealing with Disney.

Larry Watkin is doing the script and we hope to be ready this month." I FIRST WROTE about Helen when she worked in a supermarket between acting jobs and stashed her money away for a dream. "So this is what you wanted," I said. "How did you get to be a producer?" "I played 35 roles before I became bored with acting. In Toronto I started drama lessons at 5 the usual thing, sense memory, improvisations, dancing, body movement. It didn't do me much good because I'm still awkward.

At 12 I was playing little girl roles for CBC, and took jobs after school hours and during vacation. I was a librarian, salesgirl in a dress shop, also in Woolworth's. At 17 I came to Hollywood. I didn't know a single soul but Hollywood and Vine was the crossroads of the world to me so, for IS months, I worked as a waitress in Melody Lane and made enough friends there to get three part-time jobs, which I worked simultaneously." 11 Memories of Marriage Now Filled with Guilt BY LYNN HURLEY DEAR MISS HURLEY: My wife was 51 when she died in a sanitarium 8 months ago. My memories about our life together are full of guilt.

I was a big bully, on her back about everything from the time she came home from her teaching job until she went to bed. When there was work to be done, I ran off with my cronies. I locked her out if she came home later than 8:30. I dragged my parents around constantly and had them come to dinner without consulting her. She got so that she detested them, but if she refused to go DICK-and-Jane jokes about the funny children in the first-grade textbooks who a'ways say everything three tunes and talk in a 200-word a u-lary are making the rounds of the summer's educa You and Your Child tional conventions.

He gave my father poison. Poison is not good. I do not like poison. Do you like "Gurgle, Gurgle, Gurgle" I wonder if the teachers picked up the game from their pupils. The first grader in our family started satirizing Dick and Jane with defiant glee last winter when she could no longer stomach the insipid pap in her primer.

Often they suffer some dreadful fate. And it's all done in a vocabulary of fewer than 200 words, in the double-repeat style so dear to the hearts of primary textbook authors. A favorite in our neighborhood goes like this: O. See Baby Sally.
