(Staff photos by Al Wilson) We Together With Chcsta Vulmer Twenty Three Skiddoo It's A Garden Club Convention! LETTER OF THE WEEK Dear Chesta: Out of your long experience I feel you may be able to answer a problem I feel I cannot answer myself.

A dear friend is in love with a married man. He has no children and claims no love for his wife. He has been married 10 years, part of which he spent in the Army. It seems he started a divorce proceeding when he discovered his love for my friend Mary (we will call her) but dropped it because his wife cried so hard. He seems to be a very sympathetic person.

Mary has never had an outside date with him. They know each other through working together. She has asked me for advice. Of course mine was to forget him. That's easier to say than do, and I feel she will not as she hasn't yet.

She is still living In hopes he will get this divorce. Do any of these triangles work out? Mary has been married and has a child to consider. He claims he would love the boy and he also wants children which his present wife cannot give him. I wonder if a person can be so unselfish as to give up his own happiness just because someone His wife is quite capable of caring for herself and he was willing to give her everything they had. How can anyone want to hold on to a man who doesn't love or want her? Mary is considering having dates with him In hopes It would further convince him he wants to marry her and no one could stop it.

I don't believe this is the solution, but could you give me some advice to pass on to her? This means a great deal to me as she is a very dear friend and I hate for her to just keep letting him drag this thing on for years and years as some do. They are in their twenties so are children no longer. VERY CONCERNED 1 7 xC j' iff gA-cc I --r US If x-J I Vrfi ft fe.iS:! PACkiyC. SM4LL CUTS into these gardener's gloves are this the from pro).

THIRD AND MAIN By Marj Hey duck Dear Friend: Someone has said, In effect, "Don't Judge a man until you have walked a mile In his shoes." Can you try to walk a mile in his wife's shoes? Better still, for this case, Imagine that she is your very dear and loved friend and has told you of her love for her husband, probably her grief because she cannot give him children, and her worry about another woman who works with him and wants him for her own.

Would you think of her as selfish because she wanted to hold her loved one? No! She is his wife. She has every right to fight to hold that which is hers. I think he must love her some. Many a man has worked into an "affair" by a wife he said he didn't want (or, sometimes an old mother he can't leave). Would your friend enjoy wearing diamonds and mink coats if she had to steal them? By the same token, will she enjoy a husband she must take away from another woman? If I were you I would certainly beg her to quit her present work and meet other men free ones and plan her life on a more substantial foundation than the one she now contemplates.

If she follows her plan of openly dating him and thus forcing the issue, what can she say in later years to her child when she finds that she was named as corespondent? And this may well happen, you know. We cannot take what we want just because we want It This she would teach her child chould he come home with the property of a little friend, But parents must go farther than words of teaching. They must set examples. I doubt that he would divorce his wife. In any event, I hope your friend moves not a finger to bring it about.

These lines from a poem, long remembered. get what we jjvc in a measure We cannot give pain and get pleasure. Tdl her to think it over! "In lieu of the customary bass and drums, they had a tuba and a banjo. Hut withal, their jnzz was authentic and terrific! "This is not to say that the old New Orleans favorites Sharkey, "Fats" Fiction, Sister Klizaheth Kustis. "Pork Chops" and "Kidney Stew" and an all-star aggregation of famous local names were not up to par.

They pleased with their customary styles. Rut the Ohio band played jazz, sans trimmings, and their old-time pnttern proved a novelty." So there we have it another "hometown boy makes good" story. To a jazz musician, I'd probably be the squarest All I really know about jazz is what Lou Emm tells me on the car radio on my way home at night. I'm apt, but not strictly hep. Probably, every cool cat in town knew before I did that Gene Mayl's Dixieland was nervous and real gone but.

on the chance, that there are a 'pie squares around like Murj, I took the chance on repeating the New Orleans report about the Dayton Yankees so the hep-cats can't say we're out to lunch. And if I ever figure out what I just said, I'll let you know Nh'W OKI.KANS has been boasting for years that it is the birthplace of the "blues" and THIS time I'm talking Bbout the musical blues and not the ones I get when I haven't a thing to wear. It might be the birthplace but. currently, the beat blues music is coming out of Dayton. And New Orleans thinks so, too.

At any rate, when New Orleans had its recent jazz festival, the New Orleans Item reported that "some Dayton, Ohio, Yankees who call themselves Gene Mayl's Dixieland Rhythm Kings invaded the birthplace of jazz and walked off with most of the honors." Jerry Cohen, former Daytonian now in New Orleans, Bays that top Dixieland musicians from all over the country participated in the jazz festival and the Dayton boys topped them all. Quoting the paper further: "The crowd, which sometimes joins in the rhythm by clapping handa, caught the beat of the Yankees better than they did other bands. The 'urrincrs' also received the most prolonged applause. "Their appearance also was oomcthing to see. They wore gray suits, wing collars and string tics.

They combed their crew-cuts down on their foiclieads, CaeRar-fashion. "AJthough youthful, three of them sported mustaches, one a goatee. The clarinet player stood six-foot-five, and manipulated his instrument like a toothpick. black cat. "It all depends on whether you're a man or mouse!" IIF.AKI) TF.LL the other day that there's a Cincinnati woman with a new gimmick she mends dolls, but she glamorizes the business by maintaining a clinical "Doll Hospital," by wealing a doctor's white coat, by playing up to her little customers by checking the broken dolls with a stethoscope, and by insisting that she be addVcssed as "doctor." Which reminds me pretty soon.

now. the phone's going to ring off the wall with calls to see if there is a "Doll Lady" on our readers' reference list, like the "Dog Lady" and the "Piano Lady" Bnd the "Scraps Lady" and so on. There isn't. Seems to me that's such a fertile field for opening a part-time or full-time business, and yet it is like pulling teeth 4o find somebody who does that kind of work around the holidays THIS TMF, TIME of year you bring some of your outdoor plants indoors and then wonder where on earth you'll put them all?
