Very Small Talk By HELEN MATHEWS PALMER AD MUTTERED REFLECTIONS, heard just in Hie last week, indicate that summer is over. Our friend who crops up perennially to remark on the Fourth of July he feels the cold blast of winter winds on his neck (He's in the ice business, as we said at this time last year too) has already had his annual premature moan over the shortening days. Although we never agreed with this pessimistic outlook, we do feel that certain features of the summer HEART-TO-HEART TALKS EAR Mrs. Norris: There is nothing unusual in my Mory; but no girl could be more puzzled than I am. Just the same.

I'm pretty; I'm twenty-four, and I'm going to be married in August. When i say I'm pretty I mean only as most American arc. tall, with chestnut hair and blue eyes nnd a clean skin, and thanks to ears of bands, and mother's determination, good, straight white teeth. "Greg, for that's the gentleman's name, is twenty-seven, handsome, healthy, good in every way. He has a fine" job with the radio people, promise of promotion, nine thousand dollars saved up for our home, a nice family who love me, and hcV absurdly in love.

"We've done everything together for years and years; dances, movies, parties, dinner, office conversations, telephone conversations. When I was in the hospital for an appendix party Greg fairly lived there; when hli mother died I was like another daughter in his father's house. "But here's the point: I don't love Him. I'm sure, as I COULD love 'a man. Sometimes a movie star will thrill me as Greg never does'.

This sounds idiotic, but there are about five movie stars with whom I could go on a honeymoon all roses, excitement, ecstasies. With Greg I know it will be perfectly lovely to get into the blue car, off rice, tnrow away my gardenias, and drive off into the autumn coun- trv as Mrs. Greg, but it doesn't bring my heart into my mouth with terror and rapture. "And yet I want to get married. I want to have children.

I want home, and I've gotten tremendously and comfortably used lo Greg. I can't imagine life without him. And I bolieve that after the first few months I'll be happy with him. But will that feeling spoil our carlv married life? And should I tell him? I've read your column since I was sixteen, and have often wanted to TV-rite you Just to say 'thank But like most of us I've put it off until I had a favor to ask. "Affcctlonalelv, "Pam." Marry Without My dedr Pam: It's no favor on my pirt to read a letter as charming as and there's no doubt in my mind about the ansvvrr.

Tlie with which movie ladies and gents divorce their apparently-fascinating I SOILS in Hollywood, as ev partners ought to give you a pietty but the men you happen clear indication that movie men and women are no les-s desirable as husbands and wives than is the regular run of the mill. This is really true, for the nervous exactions of their feverish profession, with Its accompaniment of strain, discouragement, knocks, doubts. Jealousies and petty is hard on even disciplined character, nnd youth is so usual a qualification In movie-land that Girl, Whose Fiance Never Thrills Her the Way Some Movie Stars Do, Is Advised to Marry Him--Problems of a Worried Stepmother KATHLEEN NORR1S may. or may not be from Hollywood, but that will dt least give hope. If vou can't get in.

right in jour own town, you can't Rd in any bigger place. Geoigia Baker married at tliiity- four, tlnpc years husband a a grass widoucr, with a daughter of fourteen at that time. The girl isitcd them nqw and then, bat most ot her timo in boarding-school or with her mother in another city. Now the mother i.s marned again. ARE already gone.

Namely, that month that overworks the society dcpailmcnt--June, the Month of Bnde.t. There'll never be another June in 193? and we feel that it's a(c to pass on the advice on the subject of marriage given tc- us by our hairdresser. It is obviously the French equivalent of the American su-nn song to bach- elois. "Goodbje. Boys.

I'm Through." and has Mich a sinister little sound were afraid to publish it earlier for fear all prospective married men would hop the first ship for Rio. Here it without the musical sound effects which accompanied it the first time we heard it: "Gai, Gai--mat ions-nous, Mcttons-nuos dans la mberc. G.ii. Gai--marions-noiib, Mettoiu-nous le cord all coll." Even if jour Ficnch is as rusty as ours, it shouldn't be much of a task to translate it roughly and find that the French gaict on the tub- jcct of manage is more or lefcs subjugated by a noti 1 of impending poverty and slow death. At long last we have found 'but not obtained) the job that would suit us perlcctlj.

We heieby take the liberty of firing Tom McCarthy --the Washington Port's "Itinerant Reporter" and taking over his toush duties of touring around the country writing a short column every ria'y on anything and everything he notices. On a recent trip, we should like the girl is seventeen, she has beon to have had Mr. McCarthy's talent sent home to her father from school for making a good story out of each and Georgia is Elinor is vnui and extrflrapniit. Make-up, beuuta parlors, rumiiiip around with boys; out Jute nt niglit; iin.ccU into auto crashes ntitt drinking sloric.t; smelling of cocktails and cigarettes-il doesn't right to me anil I try lo licr. ch.nacu-r development.

It Ls probable that the strfis ou aclnine ate quite oidmary men or quite spoiled ordinal men. who are subject to the a and of priina donnas. Of course thorc aie fine pcr- cveryvvhere, mention have pretty bad lecords, domestically speaking. Home happiness needs a quieter sun than that of southern Califoinia. So go ahead and marry your Greg with no misgivings, and find in his devotion the spur that i a a yours to him and to your home, and to tho-c future childicn.
