The VANCOUVER SUN: June 11, 1959 53 ASK ANN LANDERS Too Early to Push Her Out of the Nest CLUB ADMITS WOMEN OF ANY NATIONALITY VERNON Vernon Women's Canadian CluS has changed its constitution to allow women of any nationality, over 18 years of age, to be members. Mrs. H. J. Alexander was elected president; Mrs.

F. R. Harris and Miss Marjorie Choveaux, vice-presidents; Mrs. W. H.

Franks, secretary; Mrs. M. Corrigan, treasurer. Dear Ann Landers: I don't wish to be labelled an "interfering mother-in-law" but I feel compelled to say something to my son's wife about the way she's pushing their 12-year-old daughter. Mary Lou is an only child WOMEN'S News NAOMI LANG, Editor lllllftdC OB I Answer: You are 100 per cent right.

But I suggest you speak to your son and let him handle it. If you talk to your daughter-in-law she may well consider it meddling. A 12-year-old thrust into adult-type social life is indeed a pathetic sight. The poor thing won't even fill out the fancy gown, much less balance herself on the high heels. ''Scene She's a beautiful little girl and everyone comments on her lovely manners and her sweet disposition.

My daughter-in-law has invested a great deal of time and energy in Mary Lou and she's to be commended. But I believe a mother can push her children too fast and this is what bothers me. Mary Lou just reached her 12th birthday. She's tall and well-poised for her age, but she's still a child. Her mother is permitting her to go to a dance next month with a boy 16.

She's buying a ballerina-length gown and high-heeled satin slippers. She's talking about a French roll hair-do. It's making me sick. This is Mary Lou's first real date but I know it will open the floodgates for many more. Am I wrong to feel this is a dreadful thing to do to a 12-year-old? BOTTLED UP She'll look as if she got loose in her mother's clothes closet and is playing house.

Ask for a representative of the Sun Retail Advertising Department. It isn't often, goodness knows, that I start my column off on a pessimistic note. But today I do so; and I have this to say: It is most unfortunate that vvc, in British Columbia, have not become accustomed to drinking wines with our meals, and brandy or some other liqueur after them. This is a habit to which the peoples of Europe have long accustomed themselves, with excellent results. But it was brought home to me once more, very strongly, only this week when I was guest at a Portuguese wine party put on right here in our very own city.

All is serene and this mother is ready for rehearsals. Miss Conley met her actor-producer husband, Bonar Stuart, when she joined a touring company just after her graduation from Mary Washington College in Radford, Va. "I was still wearing bobbie socks and flatties and he was horrified. Right then and there he overhauled my wardrobe," she recalled. "He still chooses my clothes.

I just wouldn't buy a thing without him." However, she did when she first arrived here. She bought a pair of frivolous pink stockings to wear to a party, and now she's sorry. WENT WADING She also went wading English Bay and caught a cold. "He wouldn't have let me." She also consented to pose for a picture poised over a hot stove, although she explained she wasn't "too well acquainted with kitchens." "Bonar does most of the cooking, although I can bake cakes and desserts." But she's not allowed to show her skill In that department. Her husband velos such fattening foods.

Home in Toronto is a 50-year-old house they remodelled. From this centre Miss Conley is encouraged to pursue her career. BUSY LIKE She's busy in radio soap operas, TV hour-long dramas and musicals. However, from recounting this exciting and glamorous work her conversation always returned to Ihe children the two who played nearby with affection and contentment. "I think I have more opportunity to be with my children Hum most, mothers," she said when complimented -on their behavior.

"The hours I'm at home I concentrate on them absolutely. "Most mothers are busy trying to cook, clean or do a hundred-and one other chores, I'm lucky. I have time to play with Tony and Curtis, i i i NOW PUREX BRINGS Wine drinking is very new to us in Canada. But let me tell you it is a very old, and highly esteemed custom in Portugal. It started, in fact, some 800 years ago, and port wine itself has been In high favor the world-over for over 400 years.

In fact, 'way back in the 16th century, Portuguese exploration ships carried wine in their holds, and both port and Madeira ripened to the swaying of the waves, 1he heat of the tropics and, upon return from the Indies were considered to be at their best among wines of the world. Now hear this: Francis the 1st of France had it served at his table, and so did Louis 14th in fabulous Versailles, as well as Napoleon at the a I a i n. Noble English ladies favored it too but as perfume for their hankies fa fact which consoled me after spilling some on my suit): Catherine of Russia likewise smiled upon It, and during the lHth century both Madeira and port captured the United States. It's known for a fact, furthermore, that Nelson prepared Trafalgar plans over a bottle of port. Remember this, when you fall Into fashion and start drinking Madeira: use crys tal clear glass, Colored glass will prevent enjoyment of.

exquisite color of the wine. And the glass should he thin and tullp-shnped In order lo retain the delicate fragrance, and the wine should he served at room temperature unless used as a cold aperitif. Note: the older the Madeira, the heller. There are literally hundreds of wonderful Portugese wines, from white table In rose, In red table, to spsrkllng, lo Port, Madeira, dessert wines, snd last, but far from least, the hrsndles. I must say I have yet to taste one I don't like; and many whleh I positively definitely relish most highly.

At this party, hosted by a most charming Portuguese gentleman, there were more than fifl (siviy, that is) different kinds of wine offered to lis to sample. Now, no one In ii n. in being (particularly an Acting Mayor) could hope or expect to taste 80 wines at one but I did sample three or four of them, and came away with (lie wish that at least half of the 60 could he made available to the wine-buying public of thin province, so that we, too, could find our-wives on an equal footing with the fortunate people of that older world. So far less than a dozen Portuguese wines are on the market here. But, after hearing a French connoisseur of wine proclaim abroad that "no, French wines were NOT superior to those of -Portugal," I feel we are fortunate to haev even a few Portuguese products on our shelves, and we should fervently pray that more' will be added to them In the not too distant future.

I know I tasted a dry and a aweet white, and a dry and a sweet red, very much to my liking, UHt to start with. But 1 hardly had a sip of both hasted over my taste buds, than my host guided me towards the Madeiras. He arrived there Just In the nick of time, at that, for there was a tremendous demand on Madeiras a gay new trend, It seems and Immediately after my glass was accommodated, they ran out of It. But I may tell you that Madeira Is one of those terrific all-purpose wines which may be served as an aperitif as well as a dessert wine. Before mesls It's proposed you sip a dry Madeira, along with almonds and olives.
