Coleen Gray Counts Blessings K

II Ida Illa KILII

Meet Coleen Gray. winning young Hollywood star with the cutest figure on the lot. Here are the 'vital statistics... 5' 3", 115 pounds. bust 35. waist 24. hips 35. But back of these streamlined meas- urements there is I story which should help anyone who is trying to slim down.

Using movie technique. let's .'lasb back in Coleen's life to when the was Dot-is Jensen from I Min- nesota farm. working her way through college. From necessity. the often had five jobs at I time Ind. to insure three square meals I day. one job was always wait- ress work. This free food had bul- ging consequences -- size 16 for l' 3". when she compared her-- telf to the svelte campus queens..l the would get depressed Ind wisltl that she. too. were slender and: popular with the boys. But after; starving for I few days she would; sat I huge dish of ice cream to' lift her spirits.

Our heroine graduated summa sum laiide. but with I dumpy fig- ure. She spent her last hard earn- Id cash on I bus ticket to Calif- nrnia...and we'll skip the rugged details of siirvival in I new place. Eventually. she was seen by a 20th Century Fox talent scout. tested and signed for I seven year contract. "what they saw in me. I don't know. The girl I saw on the screen was fat. gauche, and just plain corny." she told me.

Then came the grooming pro- cess. The studio terrified her. She lived in fear that someone some- day would tell her to "go back to the farm." Largely because of her feelings of inferiority, she had I constant struggle with her weight. "I kept sneaking ice cream to soothe my anxiety." Ihe recalls ruefully.

COLEEN GRAY

Coleen managed to slim down' for two pictures. but then fatten- Id up again and the studio let her go. "After carrying around the ex- cess pounds and hating myself Ind not getting any work. I reached the lower depths." Coleen remin- isces.

She gives great credit for her naw career to her friendship with Louise Long. responsible for many beautiful figures in Hollywood. "Louise got me to believe in my- self again. She put me on I diet. and somehow I had the will power to stick to it. I watched my mess- uiements improve. and I bought clothes I size too small to give myself I challenge. As the pounds slimmed off. I became happier and my date book began to get cra- mad. Work commenced again. To this day. however. I still have to make occasional appearances in producer's offices to prove that l'm not fat!" this lovely star re- lstos. Today her weight varies from 112 to 115. when the pointer oi the scales hovers close to 117 she outs calories and soon is out of the danger zone.

Happily married. the mother of two children. Coleen enjoys doing her own housework. "Vaeuuming. .... bbing. Ind hanging up clothes in the sunshine make me breathe hsrder and bring all the muscles into play. It actually helps me to

Parents Mock Adolescent Girl

l DEAR MARY HAWORTH: I am I girl 11.-in love with I won- deful boy. 18, who is in tbs Navy. We are physically attracted to each other, but even more attract- ed in other ways. We plan to be married when Barry is 21; he will be out of the Navy and I Junior in college by then. and I will be I year behind him. We intend to ' complete our education. working: our way through those last years.

Our parents seem to resent our planning. though they admit we are mature and well adjusted. They object to our going steady; they don't want us to isolate our- selves at our young age-so we go with others. but the attraction re- mains. However. when Barry is home I date him exclusively, which irkds my mother. And she argues against my writing him daily: she instists I shouldn't commit myself.

What hurts is our parents' de- -risive laughter at our efforts to please one another-as when I dieted to lose weight, and Barry said I'd always looked perfect to him. Everything we do is to please each other. and our love makes us better in various ways. We

The bride's mother chose I two- iiicce dress of navy blue with uiatching,hat. and navy and white ztcccssoi-ies. Her corsagc was of nixed flowers. The mother of the groom was attired in grey and

and corsage of mixed flowers.

A reception followed at the home if the bride where the toaast to he bridc was given by Rev. J-P.E. )'Hanley. Best wishes were extend- .-d to the couple by Rev. Harold The bride's table was cntred with a three-tiered wed-

parents' advice-one of our new lessons. But our parents seem to feel oui- love must be foolish be- cause we are so oung: and they remain nervous Ind wary aboutl our intentions. as Barry's parents eloped at I youthful age-much younger than we. in fact.

ARE THEY FOOLISH?

Recently I was .pleased when Barry wrote that he will finish college as I'd asked. At first he was hesitant. wanting to get a job to support us right away. to spare me hat-dships...We feel our love is enduring. but have discussed I break-up halfheartedly. agreeing to remain friendly "if Ind when." But we don't think there will be '1 break.

Dear G.Y.: You speak of "mu-

parents." but the picture I get. from your lengthy letter. here can- densed. is to the effect that it is your mother who keeps you upset. Also it is my impression that you Ire probably more intensely invest- ed in the romance than Barry is. Not that he doesn't love you dearly of course. but he isn't so urgently preoccupied with the relationship and its future prospects as you Ire. lthink. I believe your mother is con- cerned about thc totality of your engrossmcnt in Barry. and tries to dilute your intensity and scat- ter your concentration by alter- nstely fussing and poking fun at your IICIIOUSHCHS. It is my guess that she is protectively concerned. in the sense of wanting to spare you monumental shock and hurt. if possible, , .' g things don't pan out as you hope.

in all probability your mother (maybe Barry's tool sees what he doesn't see. namely. that you are the positive campaigner for a fu- ture with him. and he is the ac- quescent party tso far). And she may feel that you are lessening your chances of keeping his in- terest fresh by being so ardently committed and singleminded, and so frank about it. in the exchange. As to that. she might be right; or she could be wrong. It de- pends upon the man-and upon the rapport between sweethearts.
