When Junior League Puppeteers Get Together Their Plays Always Have a Very Happy Ending By ELIZABETH LIPS rented "Why ever marry a bad little peanut of a wife like vorite. you?" rasped the bad giant in a surly monotone. The And then it looked like the the big brute was going to haul off Doyle and toss the little lady out on of the her ear.

A domestic tragedy if ever acid" there was one show It was a tense scene in the Their fifth annual puppet show pres- nated ented by the Children's Theater project of the Junior League of Brooklyn Home for Chilren, 67- Brooklyn yesterday in the 35 112th Forest Hills. But the kids just laughed and laughed and laughed. Is this younger generation getting to be that callous, you wonder? Not at all, it's all in the way the puppets are ented, according to Mrs. Robert Doyle, chairman of the project. The young Brooklyn matron, who plays the giant with great relish, explains in her own soft modulated voice that the Junior Leaguers, who make up the puppets as well as troupe with them to public schools, hospital wards and children's institutions, don't want to frighten the small-fry.

Right Ending The big bad giant looks just like a two-inch Mortimer Snerd. And all the hep young things know that Jack of beanstalk fame will see to it that the bad giant gets his come uppance. What's more, every toddler knows that the villain in "Jack and the Bean Stalk," yesterday's offering, is just so much papier-mache. Mrs. Doyle has the evidencea countless number of fan letters from the little members of the puppeteers' audiences.

One typical letter from a young critic reads: laiked the kow, but pleeze hold yur hands up hyer so we don't see thim."

DAVIS Society Editor Spring was tops--on Tuesday at the annual President's Day of the Junior and Senior Guilds of Colony House held at the settlement, 297 Dean The program, arranged by Mrs. George N. Broadhurst and sponsored by the Juniors, was really all about hats. Members of the Junior Guild and also a few of the board of directors modeled Easter bonnets from Balch-Price.

It was rather fun in some respects, for one could ask the president, Mrs. Gordon L. Edwards, the price of her hat, without being a bit bashful or embarrass her and she, on the other hand, would be only too delighted to tell. This was one time we could say to Mrs. Harold Walker where did you get that hat without her wondering just what we meant by it--a question or an exclamation.

Then after the beautiful showing the guests saw what Mrs. Mae Chiara did with the hats sent to the Colony House Thrift Shop. Mrs. Chiara, a member of the settlement's Mother's Club turned old tired-out chapeaux into what looked like very smart Spring bonnets. The piece de resistance of the afternoon again was the Colony House children who were directed by Mrs.

Margaret Burton Inslee. The guests, who were presidents or representatives of various organizations, included Mrs. John Kaminska, Mrs. Charles Soper, Mrs. William H.

You will find that you may bake these cakes either as two 8-inch layers, as a 9x9x2-inch square, an 8x8x2-inch square which makes a higher cake, a 10x5x3 inch loaf or as cup cakes. Remember, however, that the baking time and oven temperature will vary for good results, so check the recipe for this.

Last year alone the League brought its puppets to more than 9,000 small fry. And since 1941, when the marionette shows were first prespres-ented, some 50,000 kiddies have seen them.

For their benefit Miss Sara McCaulley, executive director of Colony House, discussed the work of the settlement in relation to the community, with 17 nationalities participating in the activities. She also told of working with the housing authorities and the youth board in trying to build a democratic neighborhood. The guests were particularly interested in the clubs arranged for the elderly folk. Mrs.

Ainsworth L. Smith and Miss Jacqueline Hawes poured at the tea table. A delicious luncheon was served by the members of the guilds, and it must be noted that the particularly tasty cookies were made by a member, Mrs. Edna S. Gelhardt.

Mrs. Henry T. Corwin presided at the event. One of the events mentioned at the party by Miss Hawes is the annual Spring bridge which will take place on Friday, 13, at the Plaza Hotel, Manhattan. Mrs.

Donald G. C. Sinclair is co-chairman of the event. Miss Hawes recently entertained her committee chairmen at a tea at her home, 1911 Dorchester Road. DEAR MARY HAWORTH-I am a girl' 16, in high school, and I have one sister and one brother younger than myself.

Three years ago our father died, leaving poor mother almost penniless after the funeral expenses were paid. We had barely enough money for food until mother found a job in a woolen mill, nearby. Her work is steady but. her wages are comparatively small. I daresay poor mother's purse was always flat at the end of the month, after she had met the house payments, paid other expenses and kept us in school.

She never went out, not even to a movie, because she felt she couldn't Mary Haworth afford it. Then last January I was stricken with acute appendicitis and an emergency operation followed. This was a heavy burden on top of the load mother was already carrying. She never once complained, but it seemed to make her very unhappy and worried; and now she hardly ever smiles and seems to be always tired. Operation Crowning Blow In a way I feel to blame, yet what can I do? I am too young to leave school and find work, even if there were any.

And yet I feel so guilty whenever I think of how poor mother has to struggle to keep us together. Isn't there some way I can make her happier? Whenever mention is made of mother's remarrying, she always says she couldn't dump the responsibility of supporting a family of four on any man. So far as I know, she isn't interested in any man; but don't you think she would be happier if she were to marry someone she could love? Please answer soon, and many, thanks, A. N. Preys On Mother's Mind DEAR A.

N-Your mother is carrying a heavy burden of work, responsibility and anxiety, in running a home, earning the wages that keep it going, and stretching pennies to rear and educate three children. Any woman who has pulled a similar load in single harness--and many have--will appreciate the stress involved, the endless drudg. ery, chronic fatigue and money worries that leave little margin of energy, opportunity or silver for enjoying life-while the children are still dependent. But still, the worst of your mother's trouble is her resentment of the situation--a resentment she visits, indirectly and unfairly, on the children, so that you at least feel sick with a personal guilt-complex about her "suffering." Children Suffer Reproach For example, her saying that she couldn't dump responsibility for supporting a family of four on any man is bitter, neurotic, unnecessary negativism. This is punishing the children for their existence and dependency, when in their wistful concern for her happiness they are hopefully suggesting remarriage: as a "help" to her.

I agree with you: she ought to keep an open mind to the idea of marrying again, sooner or later, for good helpmeet companionship. And she ought to be ashamed of herself for turning a martyr-face on the stymied children, bleeding their hearts unmercifully about a load they can't lift at present. She shouldn't talk as if they were a millstone around her neck--for this is no help to anybody, Your mother's stoic pessimism amounts to refusing comfort; and you can't make her happy while she clings to that attitude, but you shouldn't feel guilty about it. You are not to blame, it is just her way; and now, here's a hint from Scriptures (Proverbs "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones." M. H.
