To Be Married in the Fall
DEAR JANE JORDAN — Your column almost always deals with the younger, love-sick generation. What about us oldsters whose loves and. lives are on the wane? I am a widow in my early 50's. My married life terminated in divorce. I am employed at a good salary, have young ideas and like a good time.
marital status until recently. He drank to excess, was never true to me, but never neglected me, and he made my life worth living. He never had a serious thought about settling down which I would like to do. When I frankly told him so he dropped me like a hot pbrick.. Now I am lonesome while he flits around with a younger woman. I am left out of the crowd because my ex-friend takes this other girl. They all drink very much and frequent taverns which are repulsive to me but which I attended because of the companionship I received. Enough of this! Can you suggest anything for me to do to get over this terrible loneliness? I like to be with men better than with a bunch of women. Women have their own home lives anyway. All the men of my age are married except the worthless ones and I do not believe in twotiming. I would like to hear what you think of my case. DOLORES. » 2 » Answer—A widow around 50 simply has to accept the fact that she isn’t a girl any more with plenty of men at her beck and call. Most of the men of that age, as you have remarked, are married. However, there are a few widowers on the loose and not all of them are bent on chasing young girls. Since they are so few and far between the widow’s task is to increase her contacts and meet as many new people as possible. In the meantime she doesn’t have to die on the vine for there are many other things she can enjoy, and at 50 the love problem need no longer be the primary purpose in life. .Any widow makes a mistake in avoiding her married friends just because they have their own homes and interests. It is quite possible for her to make herself a welcome guest in their homes where she can pass many an evening in’ pleasant conversation instead of rushing around to taverns like an adolescent, A girl of 16 may be miserable at a dinner party without .a partner but a woman of 50 should be able to make herself agreeable to the men present without throwing the other women into a tizzy. Besides, it is in the homes of friends that she meets prospective husbands if any, and not among those who: kill time in taverns. Work is a wonderful help. Hobbies make you more interesting to others and are the meaiis of estab-
lishing many new ‘friendships. It’s]
fun to learn something new: at least once a year. Women of your age haye won college degrees, leanied to play the piano, to paint, draw, review books, use the typewriter and what not. Doubtless you'd be happier married but life need not
be too dreary if you know where |
to look for compensations. : JANE JORDAN.

Food Survey
A food survey of 6000 school children reveals that 50 per cent had inadequate breakfast, and 20 per cent had no breakfast. “It can’t happen here” should be the sign in your home. Morning is a good time to serve vitamin-rich foods such as meats, cereal, and eggs.
Liver Is Cheap
Pork: liver is high in minerals and vitamins but low on the price ladder. Give it slow-motion cooking with a liquid such as water, tomato juice or sour cream.

Former Local Girl Dances With Radio City Music Hall Rockettes
By HELEN WORDEN Times Special Writer NEW YORK, July 17.—Vinni Likely says that being a wife and a
Rotkette is a perfect combination.
Vinni represents Indiana in the
celebrated line of 36 precision dancers at Radio City-Music hall. On June 21 she was married to John A. Fredericks of Packanack Lake,
N. J., a senior at Davidson college.
“John and I have taken an apartment on W. 51st st. just across
from the theater,” Vinni told me today.
home to wash the dishes and do the other housework. Then I hurry back for the first show. It’s really very simple. I'm the 12th of the present Rockettes to marry.” Vinni used to study dancing in | Indianapolis. . She is a granddaughter of Mrs, Fred A. Likely of 3141 Washington Blvd. Today she wore an attractive red and white
. | playsuit. Her brown hair was tied
up in a navy blue bandana. I saw her as she practiced with the Rockettes in a mirrored rehearsal room at the music hall. Young Gene Snyder their co-di-rector, demonstrated the intricate steps of a new routine to the 36 dancers whose rehearsal togs ranged from sophisticated . black satin bathing suits to demure pink rompers. I counted 24 brunettes, 10 blondes and two red-heads.

ALTHOUGH THERE ARE actually 46 Rockettes, only 36 appear on the stage. Ten are always on vacation. Each girl works seven days a week for three weeks. She gets the fourth week off with pay. “If there’s an emergency Emily Sherman, our captain, steps into line,” Vinni explained as she rested on the sidelines between numbers. “She’s the girl wearing the plaid slacks and pink shirt over there. We call her General Sherman. - She's been with the troupe since Russell Market, the director, originated it nine years ago.”
E- » 3 THE GIRLS do their turn on the Music Hall stage four times each day. Mornings are spent in rehearsal. Although the show usually goes on with the precision of the dancers, there have been calamities. “There was the time when the door stuck,” said Vinnie. “Half of the chorus was supposed to enter from one side of the stage, the rest from the other. Just as our group was ready to go on, the door jammed. The other girls had to keep dancing. After they'd repeated the chorus a ‘couple of times, we danced gaily’ on from the center of the stage.” Another time the FA were arranged in groups under .a series of curtains made to look like chandeliers. As each chandelier rose teward the ceiling, the girls formed a tableau. “It was a hot day "in mid-summer,” said Vinni, “but our chandelier got stuck and wouldn’t budge. The nine of us beneath it nearly melted before the curtain finally lifted.”
