"No MARY HAWORTH"S MAIL:- "Should IMarry An Older Woman Dear Mary Haworth: I hg ng man 24; and I am with 2 véry charming girl whom 1 met about a year ago. We et while she was here in college; bu now she has graduated ad Je turned to her home in a gistep country. I intend to g0 after Ma tha and marry her, Decalise she also very much. 10) he only Arawback is that Mar- tha is three and a half years older than I. My family likes her very much; think she is a fine young lady; but they say, and so do friends, that she is too old for make a go of marriage, because a woman matures more readily than a man, and she will be more settled than I. They argue that I will want to be "on the go when Martha. is ready to settle down. We both have the same religious and social backgrounds; and we enjoy the same interests and get along fine, I know, because we spend a lot of time together. Every- one agrees it would be an ideal rence. . ae are giving ourselves a years time in which to think things over, because at present I can't g0 her, due to financial difficulties. In your opinion, could we have a happy successful marriage? Please advise. +B. Dear J. B.: The pessimistic hue- and-cry 'over Martha's slight sen- jority is quite senseless, in my opinion. I believe it is true that girls tend to come of age, biolo- gically, at a slightly faster pace than boys. Thus in the teens, girls may seem emotionally or socially more precocious than boys -- more poised, gregarious, etc., in their social behavior. But this phenome- non is rather short-lived. Because . in their twenties, normal boys be- gin to catch up with and there- after gradually to surpass girls the same age or older, in a kind of authority about living. . The experience of maturing isn't a matter of going to seed, or set- tling down, as your group appar- ently construes. Rather it has to do with becoming more of a per- son, with a growing range of in- terests, understanding, awareness, etc.. that fosters a finer accom- modation to any relationship or Sew Many Aprons FOUR gay aprons in this one pastern!

In this sense, women are said to mature somewhat earlier than men; but over the long haul, men mature more completely than women, authorities declare. According to reputable theories on personality development, then, you and Martha probably are well sonable to suppose that this happy balance of mutual rapport would flourish substantially in marriage, normal human pace. But -- it is my impression that you may be on the verge of bogging down into fixed childish dependency upon family leadership, approval and support -- a retrogressive trend from which even Martha couldn't rescue you. And if she were to ask my advice, I think I should tell her -- "Don't try." RECALLS SAD REFRAIN In general, the lad, or indeed the man of any age, who chooses a self reliant, frankly older woman as sweetheart or wife, is vaguely seeking a return to the fancied sanctuary of a mother-child rela- tionship. He wants (unconsciously) to be permanently the child in a close sentimental relationship; and to | perhaps this was the significance of your crush on Martha, in the beginning. Now that she is gone, and your family is trying to ring down the curtain, you too are find- ing arguments against marrying her. Which suggests that you aren't weaned. You are afraid to reach independent decisions, in the manner of a man "on his own." Perhaps you have heard the hill- billy song with the wild refrain -- "I am too young, I am not fit, I cannot leave my mammy yit --" in which a maiden _sidesteps a marriage offer. I belleve it sums up your unconscious concept of self. You do love Martha, as an almost entirely satisfactory stand- in for mama. But if mama and an offhand chorus dispute your wish to marry her, you are inclined to weakly back down -- even at the price of heartache, and final for- feiture of a great companionship. If you were psychologically self possessed, a person in your own right, at 24, you could be happily married to Martha, I'll wager. M.

Crushed Belts Seen In Advance Styles Accent Slim Waists By DOROTHY ROE New York (AP) --Christian Dior, the canny Frenchman who has been making fashion history on both sides of the Atlantic for the last few years, accents slim lines, nipped waits and cummerbunds in suits shown today in his American collection for spring. Previewing spring styles for fash- ion éditors in advance of his Paris showings, Dior presents a restrained and wearable collection. His suits almost without extep- rounded jackets snug at the waist- line with discreet softness above and below. Often the midriff is accented by a wide cummerbund, or crushed belt, extending well above the waistline. : He shows again a number of his beloved dolman - sleeved short coats and jackets, like these wrappy affairs over sheath dresses. Color runs riot through the col- lection, covering the full range of the spectrum in dramatic combin- ations. And in contrast he shows a number of stark black and white costumes -- black trimmed with white or vice versa. Also showing today was Tina Leser, the talented Philadelphia young woman who made a design- ing reputation in Honolulu and returned to restyle America's sports, beach and play clothes. As usual, her 1952 collection is casual, gay and colorful, with strong influence from the lazy lands of the South Pacific, and a seasoning of the Oriental. Others previewing spring styles today included Paul Parnes, known for slightly ornate suits and dresses that appeal to a wide segment of the female population, and Oleg Cassin, strictly in the fabulous class. yl rr -- A TENDER ROAST THIS WEEK-END?

Super Market Open Daily 8 AM. to 10 P.M. on | OF INTEREST TO Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS 'Hollywood (CP) -- Many people complain about the lack of moral- ity in American life, but few do anything about it. One of the exceptions is Charles Laughton. It seems strange casting the portrayer of Henry VIII and Captain Bligh as a moralist in real A i life. But it is true, even though Laughton would deny it publicly. In fact, he won't allow a reporter to quote him about current reports of immorality in the U.S. social make - up. A cautious fellow, Laughton dislikes controversy and does not--want--to offend anyone. About the only thing he will say is, "people are learning that dollars do not mean morals." While he refuses to preach, Laughton is putting his beliefs into action. In the last three years, he has travelled throughout the United States, bringing classics and their moral values to all kinds of aud- iences. : Laughton is playing a film role in "The Full house' in between engagements with the classics. He just concluded a triumphant one- month stand in New York with George Bernard Shaw's 'Don Juan in Hell," along with Charles Boyer, Sir - Cedric Hardwicke and Agnes Moorehead. And he leaves soon for another tour on which he reads the Bible, Shakespeare and other ancient and modern classics. Laughton feels his tours have demonstrated a widespread thirst WOMEN -~ a. Eh, i.e. eels A for the classics and ther moral values therin, The 'Don Juan' tour of American and Canadian cities has been a great success. "Don Juan" is delivered before microphones with the players sup- posedly reading their parts. 'There are no sets, no costumes and no action," Laughton "Everything depends on the voice. For that reason, it is one of the most exhausting roles I have ever played." Want to buy, sell or trade?
