A pale pink silk embroidered bedcover with delicate in coloring as a Renoir painting. When Mrs her husband Foy speaks about she says tenderly, "My Eddie." She met him first when she joined the chorus of the musi cal comedy "Humpty Dumpty," playing in Providence. Having graduated a year before from I 71 A By MARGARET MARA The sweetest love story on Broadway is that of Eddie Foy Jr.

and his beautiful and valiant wife, who has been an Invalid for more than seven years. Dur ing intermission in every performance of "The Red Mill," where Eddie plays the leading comic role, he puts through a telephone call to the bedside of Mac to tell her how the show is going. The former Anna Marie Mc-Kenney, who married Eddie Foy Jr. in 1933, not only has been Eddie's inspiration during the years, but she also has managed all his affairs. He even tries out bits of "business" be- fore her and if she okays them he puts them in the show.

"If he can make me laugh then he knows he can get a laugh from the audience," she said. One of the funniest scenes In "The Red Mill" is the part where Eddie impersonates Sher lock Holmes' confrere, Dr. Watson. As Dr. Watson, Eddie sud denly goes into a rapid-fire burlesque of a surgeon folding back his cuffs and washing his hands in an imaginary basin.

"Eddie tried that out for the first time right here in my room," Mrs. Foy said, and she laughed heartily at the memory There's a Third Eddie Not only does Mrs. Foy super vise her husband's business of contracts and agents, but she manages the household, too. And most important, she is a devoted mother to Eddie Foy 3d, now 11 years old. The Foys live in a pretentious apartment house on Central Park South and the large casement windows of her room frame a lovely picture of Central Park.

With a telephone beside her bed and pencil and note paper, she takes care of i every detail of housekeeping. She was selecting wallpaper with a decorator from Sloan's when we called on her.

That's why housewives find today's food packages improved over those of yesteryear.

It is also why we find more pre packaged foods with every dawning day. Some of our thanks for this trend is due to the growth of self-service markets in which the package must be the sales man. But we are inclined to feel that a great deal of it is due to the housewife in haste, who has high-lighted the need for a pack age that is ready to go. Economists In the U. S.

Department of Agriculture tell us that practically all foods, including fresh and frozen, will be packaged in tomorrow's grocery store. They tell us, too, that much of the packaging will be in small sizes, to suit the small home that offers little storage space Pre-packaging of meat will increase as soon as packaging materials are available and stores can be equipped with refriger ated display cases. When that time comes and meat comes back from wherever it is going now, a package of steak, roast or stew meat will be selected from the cooling cabinet, with no waiting for the butcher to cut. Frozen meats are offered that way now, but all signs point to the fact that unfrozen meat will follow the same mer chandising trend. Window Pane Bags While much of this Is In the future, there are some such food packages on duty at the mo- ment.

For example, the Union Bag Paper Corporation has even now introduced new paper bags with window panes of cel lophane through which fruits and vegetables beckon the buy er. Already in use in some our chain stores, particularly the Atlantic Pacific the win dow pane bags, now being produced at the rate of 100 million a year, make for speedy shopping. They are marked with weight and price and take no time to buy. Moreover, 'tis said, they take a sharp cut in the wastage which some store owners say runs as high as one-third of all the fruit and vegetable sold. The reason for the cut is that since the fruits and vegetables have been judged at the time of the repacking and since quality is obvious through the window, there Is little need for the ninchinp and nunrhin she left to join the show.

"I was just the blonde on the end of the line," she said. "I really was awful. They couldn't get me to say a word. Then I saw Eddie, and I said to myself, 'THAT'S for Eddie told her she didn't be long in show business when he saw her standing in the wings holding an aching foot. Later he convinced her that she would do much better as Mrs.

Eddie Foy Jr. His College Selected Eddie Foy 3d Is a handsome boy and his mother and father are very proud of the fact that he is enrolled in the University of Notre Dame, class of 1953. He is now in a day school in New York. Away from the theater, Eddie Foy Jr. spends all of his time with his wife and son.

"Eddie is crazy about boy," Mrs. Foy said. "They are always sneaking out together and coming In with their arms filled with comic books and model airplane parts." Mrs. Foy is a native New Yorker. Her father, Peter Mc-Kenney, had a florist shop at I2d St.

and 5th Ave. for many years. Although the show has been running for months, Mrs. Foy saw her first performance just a few days ago. Her doctor allows her one day out of bed every five weeks.

Thrilled at the Show "So I went to see "The Mill, she said. "It was wonderful to see the people In the show." It was wonderful for them, too. When word got around that Mac was sitting in the sec ond row, every one in the cast played the show just for' her. Many eyes were misty that night. Odette Myrtil wept openly.

And when the orchestra at the last curtain unexpectedly faced the audience for the finale they joined the cast in a grand tribute to the devoted wife who came to applaud "My Eddie." other essential part of the con test, incidentally.

Don't Be A Sleepy Head By PATRICIA LIXDSAT The early bird is likely to have a slimmer figure than her lazy sister who drowses In bed half the morning, so statistics show. For better health, steady I health and figure protection, If you are overweight and have determined to slim down as quickly as you can, you must adopt that sleeping schedule plus a reducing program.

Starving yourself to death is no use. The weight will come right back the you again indulge your normal appetite. You must gradually reduce your measurements through exercise and limited food intake. When you eat less you need more regular rest. Drink Water During Day Drink water between meals but not with your meals.

Hop out of bed the minute you awaken in the morning, even if it is time for the birds to arise. Devote an hour to your exercise. While reducing, add a new hobby to your list to keep your mind off food and reducing. If your mind is occupied you will not yearn for more food. Spring is a splendid time to reduce and you certainly do wish to be your most attractive in Summer.

Sllmness and good health are great rewards for the little effort you make. Get yourself a sane reducing menu and a set of reducing ex erclses. Be loyal to both. Do not let a single day pass, including Sundays, without holding to your program. So begin today, not tomorrow.

Assemble your program-get busy. You know how time flies and you want to be more beautiful than you are, don't you? Are you planning a serious campaign of figure improve-ment before you attempt to wear the new fashions?
