Through no fault of my own I happen to
be a housewife. And do let’s call it ‘house
wife.” “Homemaker” sounds as if you’re
sonstantly nailing something together.
Also, it almost rhymes with "home
wrecker,” which is, in my opinion, what
vou’re going to be if you spend too much
of your time being a housewife.
This opinion is bound to be backed up by
the survey I plan to make someday if only
1 get the time for it.
Until then, I believe I’ve found at least
partial substantiation in a statement made
by Mortimer Feinberg, professor of psy
chology at the Baruch School of Business,
City University of New York.
One of the biggest problems in mar
riages today, the experts say, is when the
wife does not keep up with her husband.
As Feinberg puts it, "The problems caused
in marriages by financial and professional
success are almost epidemic.”
What this means is that while HE keeps
learning, growing and accomplishing, SHE
polishes doorknobs, then sits down all
lonely and forsaken to console herself
with a hot fudge sundae. Sometimes she
consoles herself with frozen daquiris.
And, what this is going to mean even
tually is that both he and she are going to
be wallowing in self-pity.
It would be oversimplifying to say the
way to escape becoming an obsolete wife
is to take more French lessons and dust
less woodwork. But we must realize there
is a limit to how interesting one’s con
versation can be when composed wholly
of tidbits such as, "My goodness, 1 cleaned

Brew Self-Esteem, Gals
By BETTY CANARY
the hall closet today!”
Os course, maybe his conversation isn’t
too interesting either. Perhaps the fact
that he sold 14 grinding wheels to Amalga
mated Socket Wrench isn’t all that excit
ing. However, he did get to dress up and
go out when he did it.
I’ve checked everywhere and it is simply
impossible to buy a bottle of self-esteem.
Everyone must brew his own from locally
grown ingredients. Some women’s recipes
include a job while others have volunteer
and social work as the primary flavoring.
All of the successful ones have this in
common—something besides housework as
a real interest and accomplishment.
Somebody has said the happy female is
a woman first, a wife second and a mother
third. And this seems sensible, doesn’t
it? It follows the natural order of things.
Yet most women see it in reverse.
Let us be realistic. If you hadn’t stayed
home to wipe cobwebs in the dining room
today, you could have taken in that new
exhibit at the art museum. Who’s going
to see the cobwebs if you use candles on
the table instead of turning on the lights?
There you are. Not only are you interest
ing, what with all your talk about the
exhibit but, by using candles on Tuesday,
you come across as an incurable romantic.
So now you’re worrying about that
mustard spot on your husband’s shirt. Put
away the stain removal kit and curl up
with a good book this afternoon. He can
always keep his coat buttoned when hei
takes you to see that new play.

NEW Y 0 R K-(NEA)-
Madame Helene Rochas is
permanently listed among
the best-dressed women in
the world. The widow of
the late Marcel Rochas,
famed fashion designer and
perfumer, is one of the most
elegant women in France.
She is also a successful
business woman. In the last
13 years since the death of
her husband she has in
creased tenfold the size of
her perfume firm.
“There are many different
ways to lose perfume,” she
said. "In the summer you
lose it naturally. The heat
of all your activities causes
it to evaporate quickly. And
in autumn and winter it’s
strictly a case of smother
love.”
According to Madame
Rochas, bundling up in
tweedy skirts, leather coats,
furs, scarves and kid gloves
can practically smother the
best perfume unless it is
used properly.
Richer fabrics, she be
lieves, call for richer fra
grance—warm, distinctive
perfume which is not lost
under heavy textiles—
vibrant modern blen*s.
If you have fallen willing
prey to the popular romantic
Edwardian velvets, your
fragrance should be subtle
and persuasive. If you en
joy drama and innovation,
your perfume choice should
be rich and brilliant to light
up your individualistic ward
robe.

DEAR POLLY— Like Mrs. M.
C.K., I, too, do a lot of sewing
and I put my many empty
spools to work as Christmas tree
decorations. I painted the spools
the bright traditional colors, ran
a string through the spool and
then through a big bead, broken
earring or glittery button, larger
than the hole in the spool. Dou
bled the string back through the
spool and added another bead,
button, etc., at the top. Allowed
enough string or ribbon at the
top to hang this on the tree. With
a little imagination you can go
a long way with this basic idea.

Marcel Rochas was proud
of his beautiful wife. At 22,
Helene had a literary salon *
familiar to all the great
minds of France.
In 1955, when Rochas died,; ,
she quickly came to the pain
ful decision of closing the
fashion hftuse. "Haute
couture,” she said, “is like a
ballerina. The upkeep is too •
high.”
“That is the sign that he is
coming and then in a moment I •
hear his voice saying, ‘Where is
Bird,’ and I know the day is
ended and he is home.”
Speaking of the White House,«
Mrs. Johnson said: “I like it at
night. I often walk around, just
to sense it and drink it in. But
no, I haven’t had any encounter
with ghosts. However, there is
sometimes a sense of presence.
“I remember one night in
February, I think it was ’65, the
centennial of Lincoln’s death. I ‘
was watching a very good TV
drama alone in my bedroom
and the fire was flickering and
I looked above the mantel and ’
my eyes came to light on the
plaque that said ‘in this room
Abraham Lincoln slept in the
years of his presidency 1862 to .
1865’ and I got that eerie chill.”
Most of the program was
devoted to Mrs. Johnson’s
thoughts and feelings about the .
White House. But President
Johnson popped in briefly
during the broadcast to confide,
“Mrs. Johnson has been my t
most careful and dependable
reporter and I think she reflects
the judgment of the average
American and I find that after
35 years of living with me, she *
can be still objective about
me.”
Johnson also said that he
"listens to his wife’s advice all ’
the time, more so than any
other person I know.”
