Suburban Housewives
Unkempt And Shabby?
When the American housewife
gets dolled up to go to a party she
manages to look as carefully
groomed and as chic as her work-

But the way she looks during
her working day is often a differ-
ent story.

HOLLYWOOD — (NEA) — No-
table Quotables: Jerry Lewis,
about The Face he always sees in
a theater, in a TV audience, at a
benefit performance, in a crowd
of fans at ; n airport or railroad
station:
"There can be thousands of peo-
ple but I see only that one Face
—the face that isn't laughing. 1
search for it as if my eyes were
! radar screens. II haunts me and
drives ine crazy. I have to make
The Face laugh or else I'm un-
happy."
Dolores Del Rio, a Hollywood
contemporary of Greta Garbo:
"I've traveled all over Ihe world
and 1 have yet to see a more beau-
tiful woman."
Frank Lovejoy, about his role
of an FBI agent in "Girl On 101":
"It marks the tirst time I can re-
member where a government ag-
ent is human enough to get not
only his man but also the girl."
"They're pretty rough After do-
ing two or three in a row, you get
lired out—physically and mentally
If you do action nil the time, the
public gets weary of it. They know
what to expect of you. I intend to
surprise them once in a while."
Marjorie Main, 011 the subject
of Ma Kettle: "I've insisted on
keeping this character clean and
so far I've succeeded. You'd be
surprised—sometimes they try to
put little suggestive things into the
script. I just won't do it. I think
that people on farms are pretty
sound people and I'm not going to
do anything that makes Ihem look
bad."
Jack Webb, about his future: "I
don't know that I want to do TV af-
ter 1 finish up the 55 'Dragnets'
that are still to come. It's back-
breaking—the awful pace. The pub-
lic doesn't understand that or care.
Why sTiould they'.' But I've put in
some awfully long hours. I'm go-
ing to shorten my life if I don't
take a rest."
"Too many homemakers spend
large pieces of their working hours
looking messy, unkempt, their
unattractively undone or in pin
curls. They wear no lipstick
and dress as if they were about
to scrub out a hen-house."
There's a lot of truth in Mrs.
Montgomery's charge. You don't
have to visit housewives in their
'views with j own homes or yards to prove it.
At Supermarket
All you have to do is drop by
the neighborhood supermarket and
take a good, long look at the wo-
men who pass by.
For every woman dressed neat-
ly iii a housedress or skirt and
blouse, with hair combed and
wearing fresh lipstick you'll find
at least three women in shorts
who don't have the figure for them,
at least one in pin curls, at least
one whose hair looks as though il
hasn't been combed in a week, and
at least one in a rumpled dress
and the shoes she wears to water
the lawn.
Messier
It almost seems to be that the
more labor-saving devices make
Ihe job of housekeeping a relative-
ly clean and easy job. the messier
housewives look.
When grandma beat rugs by
hand, scrubbed her clothes on a
washboard and baked the family
bread she at, least put on a clean
apron when she finished a messy
job.
And though grandpa may not
have relished the sight of her in
curlers at bedtime, at least the rest
of the world didn't have to see her
that way. (All rights reserved,

Catcher Jim Hegan of the In-
dians has caught three major lea-
gue no-hit games. They were: Don
Black's in 1947, Bob Lemon's in
Mel Ferrer, being honest about
the face that won a heart of Aud-
rey Hepburn: "A man with my
kind of face has to be careful. It's
very flattering to hear that women
find it arresting, but when I look ; 1948 and Bob"Feller's in 1951.
at it. it gives me the impression
of being equine Like a horse, in
fact."
Mickey Rooney, 011 green-light-
ing acting careers for his sons:
"I'm certainly proud of this busi-
ness. It's given me a lot of enjoy-
ment. Why should I slop my boys?
As long as it doesn't hurt them,
it's all right with me."
