12 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Thursdoy, August 4, 1966 ANN LANDERS Eskimo Call It Courtesy For Man To Loan His Wife Dear Ann Landers: My hus- band and I have been married for seven years, We get along fine but something about Tom bothers me and I would like to know if I am being silly. When we ere with other cou- ples, Tom says to one of the men 'Why don't von hug Elda?" Or when we're out bowl- ing he'll suggest that one of the fellows give me a big squeeze for luck. The other evening we were playing. cards with neighbors and Tom said, "Whoever wins the pot gets to take Elda in the kitchen and give her a big kiss." Everyone laughed but don't think he was kidding. Most husbands would be mad if another man tried to hug or kiss his wife. My husband seems to encourage it. Please tell me what to do.--BAFFLED Dear Baff: Tell Tom not to offer you around as a good luck charm, a card prize or any- thing else. Such remarks make him look to all the world like a heel, If he does it again make it} clear that he is not speaking for you and tell him to cut the comedy. Dear Ann: Your reply to Too Beautiful was cruel. I am also Too Beautiful, and I can tell you it's horrible to go through life with. a face and figure that men lust after and women fear. When I was in high school the boys were afraid to ask me out. They assumed I was al- ways dated up. No one wanted to risk being rejected. I sat home many a night on account of this. The girls in the office shun me because they figure anyone so good looking has to be a tramp, And they are afraid to introduce me to their boy friends and husbands. 1 anr parties. So please have a little com- passion for those of us who are us.--Mirror Mirror on the Wall Dear Mirror: A little realism can be beautiful, too, Honey. And I recommend it--for bal- ance. If you are as gorgeous as you say, there must be some serious flaws somewhere. I suggest you find out what they are. Dear Ann: This is no teen; age complaint. I am 29 years old and my boy friend is no kid either, Harvey has a fine job, makes good money and he likes the best of everything--for himself, that is. For my birthday Ha- vey bought me a wrist watch. It stopped running the third day I wore it, I didn't want to hurt his feelings so I didn't say any- thing. The repair bill was $8.50. Two days later the crystal fell out. It cost me $2.00 to have it replaced. The following week the stem fell off. When I took it in again the repair man said the watch couldn't have cost more than $17 new (he's sure often excluded from office too beautiful. Life is lonely for I got it second hand) and that it wasn't worth fixing. For Christmas Harvey told) me what he wanted and 1) bought it--a pocket watch for!) $88. I'm miffed to think he} bought me a piece of junk.| Should I tell him? -- Flim Flammed Dear Flim: Don't tell oh a | bought you: a piece of jun |(He knows it).

Washington Society Leaderless Despite Round By ARCH MacKENZIE WASHINGTON (CP) -- Back} in 1939, the British embassy re- stricted the guest list for a royal garden party to 1,350. Congress, spurred by spouses angered at being unable to take tea and strawberries with King George VI and Queen Eliza- beth, promptly killed some spending legislation of import- tance to the United Kingdom. Those were the days when Britain's stately Georgian pile of red brick on Embassy Row ruled the roost--more exclusive by careful design than the White House itself. Under the autocratic rule of its social secretary, Irene Boyle, no dealer from Franklin Delano Roosevelt's administra- tion was allowed to penetrate the place for two years. But Miss Boyle, who died in April in Italy after serving five ambassadors, has no equal to- day among the 115 foreign mis- sions now here. GROPES FOR LEADER Washington society, in fact, still seems to be groping for a leader to replace the widowed Jacqueline Kennedy, whose so- phisticated elegance made the White House the "in" place. Mrs. Kennedy now lives in New York. The last real social lions on the scene were the French and SUMMER BRIDE Betty Carol designed this charming, sophisticated gown for Mam'selle for the young summer bride who is fortunate enough to be a junior size. Exquisitely simple but spectacular, it has a high <mpire effect, short sleeves, a _ bateau neckline and lateral skirt seaming. Fully lined, the gown is fastened down the back with tiny self buttons and. loops.

The White House under Lyn- don Baines Johnson and his wife Lady Bird, more prone to be planting trees as part of her beautification program than do- ing the frug, has a Texan earthiness. The Vietnamese war has sub- dued it. Barbecues for con- valescing veterans are common or the president uses his yacht to entertain on the Potomac. But there has not been any visible halt to a steady escala- tion in the cocktail rite. MELT MANY TYPES This, coupled with receptions, a steady round of national days and dinners, remains Washing- ton's occupational melting pot blending diplomats, politicians, the military, lobbyists, business and the ubiquitous press which indefatigably chronicles major occasions and interprets every nuance. The preoccupation among Washington's three newspapers with social news strikes some as highly provincial, others as good gleaning for future refer- ence. Proud but poor new nations spend lavishly to woo aid from this richest country in the world; nations of all sizes dis- cuss trade over martinis; the Communist - bloc delegations ty "might once "hiave} been the hallmark of social suc- cess but today the emphasis seems more on who "'swings" and who doesn't, or who can come up with the most sumptu- ous party.

But public health nurse Margaret Bates once picked her way through James Bay icefloes in an outboard canoe followed by a fiotilia of 14 Eskimos and a dead seal. "That trip took 15 hours to travel 50 miles because the ice started drifting back in to shore. People were worried about me, but I was perfectly happy. We all kept stopping to have tea." Miss Bates, 32, has been in the North for 10 years She now. une Or is the superintendent of a 160,- 000 - square - mile area with 5,357 potential patients. Seven nursing stations with two nurses each are on her tour of duty. The main difference about working in the Arctic is there isn't always a doctor at your el- bow, says the slim brunette. "After I delivered my first Eskimo baby I wanted to go right home that night. But re- ally it isn't that bad. It's all over so fast. What worries you is thinking what might go wrong."
