NOT RONSON
Ronson's CFL Shaver is concerned with one thing. The human
beard. And, in attaining its top-rated shave-ability, it never
once shaved a fruit. Fuzzy or sour. Nor a prickly plant.
Top-rated? Maybe you've heard.
One of the country's leading consumer testing magazines
stacked up the CFL against every other name brand.
"Tested them all. Impartially. Mercilessly. Report: the
Ronson CFL is £he best performing shaver on the
market today.
Who'll shave the sour grape? It's a toss-up. But one
thing's for sure. Ronson won't. A beard? That's some-
thing else again. As it should be.
"This is it. The shaver that

Кепее Hart

Mr. Lenny Bruce is reputed to scathe
“sacred cows" and “the pretentious
phoniness of a generation.” One won-
ders if his fearless material contains any
criticism of rLaynoy? I would guess not.
It is too much to hope that therc exists
а man who dares bite all the hands that
feed him.
e Allison H. Roulston

Bruce has several bits on PLAYnOY т
his current act, including, “I want you to
know I didn't have to do anything for
that feature in PLAY noy — Oh, went up
and saw the publisher and we danced a
little, but there was no kissing or any-
thing like that.”

February's Playmate, Miss Bradley,

Jerry Stover
New Haven, Connecticut
What a stir your February issue caused
in Waukegan, the home of Miss Eleanor
Bradley. She was interviewed by the
local press and radio, stores that don't
ordinarily sell magazines ordered copies
from your distributor and one sold over
1000 out of bushel baskets at ап auto-
graph party. By the end of the first
week, there wasn't a copy to be had this

BITTER RICE
"Tom Mario's January recipe for jam-
alaya calls for converted rice, None of
the shops in this neck of the woods have
ever heard of it. What the hell is it?
D. Е. Waterman
Great Falls, Montana
Converted vice isn’t wild rice; brown
vice, saffron vice, Puffed Rice or Elmer
Rice. ICs just regular ordinary everyday
common or garden rice-type vice.
PARTY GAMES
Three cheers for rLaynoy! Although I
wouldn't recommend your Party Games
for the Annual Church Social, 1 certainly
found them great fun, However, you
neglected to mention that some of the
games (the Balloon Game, Honeymoon,
Under the Sheet) can be played by just
two. To prove this, the girlfriend and I
experimented and сате up with some
very interesting variations.

THE SECRETS
OF WINNING POKER
Be the first in your crowd to get his runaway best-seller
that almost takes the gamble out of poker. The first four
editions were sold out as soon as the ink was dry. A fifth
printing has just been delivered and a sixth is on press.
пк Hennenr О. Yarouey book started
selling like wildfire when a small fı
tion of it appeared in The Saturday
Evening Post.
Your best friends won't tell you what's in
it — and when you've read it you won't

It’s called The Enucarion or A Poker
Prayer, And it's а priceless education. In it
Yardley tells the secrets of his systems for
winning at all the usual (and many of the
таге) kinds of Draw and Stud Рок
“Never open on two small pair — never”
“Fold them,” Yardley says. Нез talking
about Straight Draw, nothing wild, 7 players.
“It's twelve to one you won't make a Full
House. ТЕ somebody ење opens, don't stay.
Anyone who stays on two small pair should
have his head examined. You fold — or you
bluff by raising before the draw, standing
pat, then. betting.
In the same specific way Yardley looks
over your shoulder at every hand and tells
you exactly when to open, and when to pass
(even though you have openers), when to
call or stay, when to bluff, when to raise,
when to be cautious, when to be brazenly
bold. And when to meckly fold.
He shows you all this by means of actual
sample hands which he plays out for you
nd analyzes, And you learn how to p
A the odds instead of against them.
How to develop not only а
poker-foce but а poker head
Yardley tells you how to study and “read”
the other players — watching and analyzing
their mannerisms, learning their weaknesses
and thei you a master
strategist at poker's psychological war.
He tells you wonderful salty stories (prob-
ably not for your Aunt Hermine) out of his

In a few months, Jacques Monard, the
man who wielded an alpenstock over
Leon Trotsky's head in 1939, will be re-
leased from a Mexican jail. The Great Prince
Died (Scribner's, $4.50) by Bernard. Wolfe
tells of the events leading up to and the
final results of this assassination. Al-
though the novel adheres to the basic
anti‘ Trotsky plot as revealed at the trial
of Monard, author Wolfe freely admits
taking liberties with events and person-
ities in order to make his story more
readable. A former Trotsky bodyguard
himself, Wolfe is just as anxious to spout
philosophy as he is to neatly wrap up all
the details of his yarn, but anyone intei
ested in a colorful, richly written blast at
J. Stalin, his antecedents and successors,
will find this story of political intrigue
and murder just the ticket.

Al Capone is a semi«locumentary, un-
hysterical and somewhat one-dimensional
reminiscence of gangsterism in the grand
style. As the Naples-born, Brooklyn-
raised hood imported to Chicago to
bodyguard a member of thugdom brass
only to become kingpin himself, Rod
Steiger is a kind of whimsical Scarface,
touchy about his rights as an American
citizen and the way his name is pro-
nounced. Working from а screenplay
that names а few names and overlooks
others, director Richard Wilson has
taken time to develop character shad

It's a much abused and a much beloved
word too, And like the wife who's been a
peach after ten years of marriage, jazz is
too often taken for granted.
It wasn't always so. Sure there's a hard
core of aficionados who can't hardly look
at anything unless the liner notes tell you
that “Pinetop spat blood.” And there are
collectors who forage through murky an-
tique record shops looking for a genuine
Buddy Bolden recording. Bue jazz wasn't
meant ко lie down in a dark corner and
play dead, and it hasn't. Even though you
may take your wife for granted, she still
exercises her wiles via the well known
feminine devices; the trapeze dress, pointed
shoes, pale-pink lipstick, padded hips,
cleavage (more or less), ad infinitum. Just
as styles change, so has jazz. More appro-
priately, jazz has grown.

Capone, his thugs and his procurers, the
misery they brought, the terror they in-

rivals, a woman (Fay

out her husband, and an honest cop

Taken from The Darling Buds of

Across the street from Chicago's Pump

а series of ill-starred occupants, now
flourishes the new French restaurant,
Maison Ісіне (1255 N. State Pkwy).
Freshly redecorated, the Lafite offers an
outsize menu full of Gallic dishes at ra

RECORDINGS
It's puzzle time, kiddies. The Australian
Jazz Quintet in Free Style (Bethlehem 6029)
might scem to be the old A. J. Quartet
augmented by one, but announces in its
liner notes that it presents, іп fact, the
Quintet plus a sixth man, drummer
Оче Johnson, yet lists seven men under
the heading “Personnel.” Best you forget
the arithmetic, though, and listen: this
is modern, mood jazz, unhard and un-
with just cnough swing and just
gh improvisation to make it pleas
ng to sophisticated ears. Second side
features a 10-minute job called Take
Three Parts Jazz, an ambitious original
which is the fine, unpretentious show-
piece of the set.
Love Is а Season (ABC-Paramount 273)
is Eydie Gormé's sixth big biscuit, and
on it the buoyantvoiced Miss Gormé
delivers a delicious reading of the Bart
Howard title tune, as well as that gentle-
man's On the First Warm Day, to say
nothing of 10 other seasonal delights by
а grab-bag of scripters. London by Night
(Liberty 3105) is a tour of Julie, not the
town on the Thames, and the erstwhile
whispering wonder actually sings on this
disc, with a minimum of breathy catches.
Most of the tunes (Nobody's Heart, Mad
About the Doy, etc.) dwell on unrequited
love. Johnny Mathis’ Open Fire, Two Guitars
(Columbia СІ. 1270) is simply not up to
his earlier effort st of the numbers
are taken at a dragey tempo and Johnny
has trouble sustaining his high-register
tones to the accompaniment of two
guitars and a bass. Annie Ross Sings а Song
with Mulligan (World Pacific 1253) is a
misnomer; Annie really belts out 10
ditties with Gerry's quartet wailing in
D-DAY .
les a long-established fact that Doris Day
has mighty few peers when it comes to mak-
ing a popular song sound even better than
t has any right to. Miss Day is so good at
this sort of thing that the nation's disc jockeys
once again have voted her top gal in the pop
ging business. If her latest album is any in-
dication, her re-election next year is assured.

Е WILL MAKE THE ACQUAINTANCE OF FIVE PERSONS during this tale, all of them sailing in a palace; and we will
start with two of the most sinister organisms afloat.
Mr. A. Margolies and Мт. John Rippler are two s
е, well-polished gentlemen, first-class passengers on ап
Atlantic liner. So far as anyone knows, Mr. А. Margolies does not possess а first name; even his passport says А.
(Only) Margolies. Nevertheless, he exists: short, chubby, bespectacled, rather more jovial than necessary for most
of the social situations that he encounters: the small-Amer ecutive type, not at all like the stereotype of
the professional cardsharp. Yet that is what he is. The impression he creates is much to his advantage.
John L. Rippler does not enjoy this advantage. He is slight апа swarthy, with keen darting eyes and а hair-
line mustache and a nervous way about him: in appearance the very image of the international crook.
Because of his name, his line of business, and his methods, he has long had to put up with the tag of Jack the
Ripper among his colleagues. He would appear to be a good person for any other practitioner in the field to stay
away from. However, for many years he and Margolies have enjoyed a close and profitable friends
‘Tonight they have met in the first-class bar on the eve of sailing, while the vessel is only an hour out of South-
ampton. They аге not surprised to find each other there; indeed, they would have been much alarmed had it not
been зо. For they аге embarking on a new venture this time, and its success depends on the closest coordination of

“I trust you had a pleasant and rewarding summe
“I did,” Margolies replies. “I visited Paris, Zurich, Palermo, Adi
not insurmountable ones. The tour was successful.”
“You got the stufi?”
"I got it" Margolies lets out with onc of his big loose laughs, purely from habit. "In Cairo it came through."
He leans closer, “One kilogram of pure heroin, and I have it down in my cabin now. Right through Egyptian and
British customs without the slightest malfunction.”
Jack the Ripper conceals his excitement. “What shape is it in?" he asks.
Margolies cannot help himself: he bellows with laughter; his eyes twinkle with the guileless good nature that
has been the undoing of so many unwary card players in search of a friendly game. "Let's go take a look at и,
he says.
Together they make their way to Margolies’ stateroom, where he opens one of his suitcases. There, lying right
on top, is а large leather vanity case full of toilet necessities for milady: row upon row of jars and boxes and
implements and tubes, all done up elegantly in cellophane and bows.

And it would take a complete mo-
ron," Rippler says, "to pay you $20,000
for this box before he checked." Where-
upon he takes up the container of tooth
powder and carefully peels back the
cellophane from the top; carefully he
opens it and tilts it against his wetted
finger, which he places on his tongue.
His face, severe and cruel, does not yet
relax. On a piece of paper he pours out
the entire contents of the container, and
n he conducts the taste test. Only
then does his expression convey satis-
faction,
"Good boy, A. Only,” he says, as he
pours the powder back. "This is pure
snow. I hope you will pardon my little
precaution, but I had to assure myself
that you had not been bilked by some
wily Arab.

Rippler pulls out his shirttails and
exposes a money belt, from which he
counts out 40 five-hundred-dollar bills.
He is glad to do so, knowing that he is
buying something worth $100,000 in
ork. Margolies pockets the money.
he says, "after you have taken
сазе to your room, let us return го
the bar and mingle with the passengers,
to size up the prospects for a nice quiet
game of poker.
“Well, about that" Rippler says.
"With this big pile of snow still on
hand, are we so smart to risk maybe
getting into trouble over the cards?”
dy friend," Margolies says, "look
at it this way. We are known for what
we are on every boat making the At
lantic run. The ships’ officers warn the
players every time, and almost every
time the marks ignore the warning.
Now, what would the officers suspect if
suddenly we were pure as driven snow
—ho ho, pun, get it?” And he lets loose
another tiresome avalanche of chuckles.
"I get it," Rippler says sourly. "You're
right, We'll carry on business as usual,"
The two men have perfected a method
to this end. After the initial sizing up.
and during the evening of the second
day out, when the bon-voyage hang
overs have been dispelled by time, medi.
cation and the curative virtues of salt
sea breezes, Margolies performs some
card tricks in the lounge. Rippler is
hís audience, and is astonished no end.
Soon a group has gathered; soon thc
prospects are being asked to take a card,
any card. Cries of admiration and per-
plexity follow cach wick. Margolies is
asked how in the world he did that one;
with jovial laughter he shows them.
None of his tricks involve any sleight
of hand.
“Well now,” he says at last, “who'll
join me in а few rounds of poker?
There's nothing I love more than a
friendly game of dealer's choice. You,
sir? You look like a real river-boat
gambler, ho ho."
Well, I wouldn't mind a little
Jack the Ripper answers, "if
it's not too steep.”
within 10 minutes the two
sharpies аге хешей at a table with five
suckers, two of whom have been sized
up as promising victims for the big kill
on the final night. This first game is a
very mild affair: quarter ante, two-
dollar limit. Even so, three of the suck-
ers manage to lose over a hundred dol-
lars apiece. Margolies and Rippler
and the two real
prospects win all the money, They are,
of course, much pleased, and make a
date for a game the next evening. Сі
ies are exchanged and the players
go their separate ways. The three losers
actually do go their separate ways. Mar-
yolies and Rippler appear to part, but
rejoin out of sight in the corridor.
"I think we got them hooked, those
two," Jack the Ripper says. "They must
have a couple of million between them
and they play cards like they were
thinking of something else. This might
turn out to be a very good thing.
"I believe it will," Margolies says.
The two in question have not parted.
They go to the bar for a nightcap.
(They are, as you may have guessed by
now, two more of the five persons ad.
verted to in the lead sentence.) One of
them is Jeff Hartley, Jr, а young man
of 24, heir to the Hartley ball-bearing
fortune and, not unnaturally, a rising
executive in the firm, Vice President in
Charge of Foreign Sales. Hence his
presence on the boat, A week before,
he was revisiting the hamlets and lanes
of Normandy that he had first seen
from above on D-Day-plus1, floating
down under an umbrella of nylon. He
is a prepossessing fellow in a blond,
energetic sort of way. He fancies him-
self a pretty good poker player.

life: white hunter in Kenya, gun run.

Now he is a gentleman of leisure: tall,

Мг. Thorne wears a kilt, and at the
bar he explains why, with a faint burr.
"Тіз a damned comfortable garment,
Mr. Hartley," he says, "particularly in
hot weather. Now that I am not obliged
to consider what opinions powerful
fools may form of me, 1 find it con-
venient to wear it.
Jef chuckles, and Thorne inquires
sharply the reason for his mirth.
“No offense, sir," Jeff says. "I was just
thinking what the effect might have
been if we had been so dressed when
we were parachuted into France. The
war might have taken a different
course.
Thorne laughs long. While he is at
it, Jeff Hartley, Jr., sees coming toward
them a girl who is altogether too good
to be true: tall, innately graceful in her
moyeinents; clear brow, fine skin, bulges
at the right places, joints at elbow and
knee, (She is, of course, No. 5.) Jelt
makes immediate plans to break away
from old Mr. Thorne.
‘Oh, Mr. Hartley," Thorne says,

child of my old age, after I became

Jef Hartley changes his plans at once.
“How do you do, Mr. Hartley,” she
says. “1 hope you will pardon my fa-

to her father, "you have been playing
poker all evening. I presume you won?"
"Mr. Hartley and I both had the

"Furthermore, І believe we shall win
even more tomorrow.”

an empty one. It is not his, but no
matter: he eases himself into it.
"Good morning, Miss Thorne,” he
says.
"Good morning, Jeff," she replies.
“That didn't take as long as I thought
it would," he says. "How did 1 make
the grade so fast?"
Miranda bats her big eyes at him.
“Well, last night Daddy told me how
rich you are, and what a lousy poker
player, and since I like rich men who
are not gamblers I thought it would be
a good idea to be nice to you. You see?"
Jeff is taken aback. This girl is ob-
viously no ordinary dreamboat. There

"Oh, I am," she answers.

It's a long round to home plate.”
The game that evening is a cozy
game, just the four of them. The three
others have learned their lesson and
withdrawn. Margolies makes a point of
this.
"Well, it looks like the ribbon clerks

he says, with a few whoops of glee. “No
reason why we men shouldn't make the

"Let's ро," ‘Thorne says.
So the game begins. It is really extra-

Rippler have. Margolies will have three
of a kind: Thorne will draw the fifth
card to a straight or flush, Rippler will
have а flush: Jeff gets a full on the last
card. The losers make many lugubrious
but good-natured comments on the way
things are going. At midnight, when the
game breaks up, they are out a matter
of nearly $800 apiece, and ]еН has the
greater part of it.
“I guess you fellows are too good for

"Still, I'm not one to give up. Maybe

that things have gone far enough, calls

pertinent pointers
for a bon voyage
By PATRICK CHASE
THERE 18 AN INNER CIRCLE reserved for
those talented few who perform the art
of travel with special ease and grace.
To be sapient, to belong, to know your
way around wherever you may go, is in-
deed an art worth cultivating — and the
process of cultivation is full of fun in
itself. We propose to tell you here not
all ye need to know, but а goodly por-
tion of the unwritten rules for climinat-
ing that needless cry: Why Didn't Some-
body Tell Me?
First of all, you have to know what
you want from your trip. And that
means checking with someone before
you get very far in your planning, ‘Try
the guidebooks. They run the gamut,
from Baedeker and the Blue Guides,
minutely detailed on all the antiquities
and natural wonders but woefully inade-
quate on restaurants, nightclubs, casinos
and theatres, on through books that ред-

World in Color series or the Beaux Pays
series, which are more help you
might imagine in setting the background
and suggesting possibilities for your en-
joyment, on to the sharply useful gen-
eral guides such ау Fodor's splendid
Men's Guide to Europe, Sydney Clark's

rowly specialized books like the Guide

and Pastene’s Auto Guide to Europe,

those your travel agent recommends.
And they'll rise on occasion to such
heights of esoteric service — notably in
the case of the French and British bro-
chures—as to provide lists of ghost-
aunted country homes around London
and jazz clubs in France
Use these sources to set up some per.
sonal aims before you go to see a travel
agent. Then he takes over. He supplies
know-how. He tells you when the Rapido
leaves Venice for Milan and where to
stay at Stresa and how long to spend in
Brussels and when Fasching gets under
way in Vienna. He lays а red carpet, іп
effect, to your destination and back. He
has а Citroen waiting for you at the Paris
airport, if you so desire, or he it
rolled up to your hotel door the next
morning, He is wise in the ways of plac
ing the oldsters in safe retreats where
enjoyment and inaction are synonymous,
and he also has the posh spot picked out
for you where there's something doing

ions thereabouts to do it with. He knows
how to graph the rise and fall of sea-
sonal excitement at cach resort, and how
to get you there at its peak. His job is to

Your travel agent, for example, calmly
ranges for your deck chair and dining

you're going by boat. Thus, while less
foresighted mortals are lining up for
their assignments, on the very moment
that the ship sails you are sharing a
bottle of champagne in your cabin, hav
ing copped the choice spots long ago.
"There are various points you will
want to discuss with him at your leisure.
Do you want to sail on one of the big

worth some thought.
Also worth some thought is the ques

Europe and ad lib from there on out,

women dictate, The latter may sound
more promising. but the arranged-in-
advance plan is generally considered
much the better way. The time you'll
save by not having to make your reserva-
tions at cach step in your point-to-point
progress, not to mention the frustrations
avoided, leaves you in far better shape
to reap your full measure of adventure.
To find the travel agent who's right
for you, first ask vour friends. Have
they used an agent lately? Good or bad
service? Did he cotton fast to their ideas
or try to force his own? Second, check
the agent's credentials. Is he a member
of ASTA, the American Society of Travel
Agents? What does the local bank have
to say about him? ASTA membership
isn't the ultimate criterion: there are
some pretty poor agents in ASTA and
some damn fine ones outside the associ-
ation. But at least it’s a clue: it proves
the guy’s been doing a fair volume of
honest business for at least three years,
and is recognized as a retail sales outlet.
by many airlines and ship lines. Third,
walk into the agency and look at the
folders he carries іп racks; see whose
tours he carries. If he handles only а
very few companies, he may not be the
guy you want; if he handles too many
tours, be leery, Мом important of all,
see if he talks your language. After all,
you may be staking a couple of thou-
sand bucks and several weeks of your
time on his judgment of what you'll сі
joy. So it pays to be sure that you under-
stand cach other.
On behalf of the air and ship, rail and
bus lines, the tour organizers and resort
operators, the car-rental outfits and the
sightseeing services, the agent can offer
you these wares:
Packages — usually prepared for the
agent by an airline or railroad in combi-
nation with a resort hotel — offer a stay
at a resort with a variety of extras. By
buying a number of services for a stipu-
lated period, booked and paid in ad-
ince, you get a break in prices. They
are normally quoted without the fare,
which is extra. Typical of these are the
Miami Beach раскар week at a
smart resort. hotel, a rental car for your
use while there, two meals a day, cve-
ning entertainment and some sightseeing,
all for about $165, plus fare.

and particularly package tours, it will

pendent agent will usually have a wider
variety of package plans to offer you
nd will have no special interest in push-
ing one over the others. Packages — nor-
mally quoted on the basis of а shared
room with a slight supplement for room-
ing on your own are most usual at
domestic vacation spots and are designed
to hold you longer than you might
otherwise stay im one spot, as distinct
from a package tour which moves you
along from place to place.

saler — offer one-to-fourday packages at
several points, with transportation be-

going along on so-called “escorted
tours, or with a man to meet you at each
arrival point, transfer you to the hotel,

mestic package tours are usually quoted
just for the destination area, with fare
there extra, while overseas tours are
normally quoted to include the major
round-trip transportation (say across the
Adantic) from а prime U.S. departure
point (New York, San Francisco, СВЕ
cago, etc). As a general rule, it's wise to
take а conducted tour if it's your first
trip abroad. True. you may shrink from
the notion of having some character tell
you what to do, or from being herded
around in a group, but the tour does
have obvious advantages which may well
overcome these drawbacks.
kage tours run all the way from
three days in neighboring countries to
100 days or more around the world, and
from $100 to $300 close to home to $6000

tours, which offer some of everything —
the sights, side trips, nightclubs, theatre,

interest tours, angling the itinerary and
devoting most of the time to one activity.

and all the rest to your small retailer to
sell to you as his own. Better, then, to
go yourself to the prime source — which
also maintains offices abroad to help you

а.) Allow a day for your transatlantic

ship). even if you fly overnight and ex-
pect to be cleared through customs and
at your hotel before lunch. You'll need
the afternoon to get oriented and to
begin planning the details of your st

ist office), and to phone any friends, Bc

tion in the crowded season can cost you
days more in hotel and meals at a point
you've already "done" amply, As a side-
light, it's fasc ng to see the slices in
air time being brought about by the jets.
For instance, you can now fly from New
York to London in 6½ hours, from Lon-
don to Paris in an hour and five minutes.
You can also hop from Paris to Rome in
two hours, from Rome to Athens in an
hour and 50 minutes, and from Athens.
to Istanbul in an hour and 10 minutes.
As Art Buchwald says, In the next few
years jet airliners will make it possible
for people to have breakfast in London,
New York, breakfast in Los
Angeles, and breakfast in ‘Tokyo, all in
the same day. A whole new vista is
opening for people who like big break-
fasts.
b.) Allow at least four days at each
major city—and arrange with your
agent, before you leave home, for a morn-
ing of rubber-necking on the day after
you arrive at each key point, so as to get
the standard sights behind you and get
the feel of the place. Plan to spend most
of the afternoon of that day walking —
there's life in the streets, and the only
Way you'll savor it is on your two fect.
Complete your arrangements that
afternoon, too, for the balance of your
time in town: check shows and night-
clubs in This Week in Paris or its local
equivalent, and have the hotel porter
make reservations. Surely allow a full
day of your tour for a trip outside the
city. Obyious ones are from Paris to
Versailles or Fontainebleau, from Lon-
don to Oxford or Stratford, from Rome
to Naples or to Ostia for the swimming.
And plan, too, for at least one day
devoted purely to fun in cach of your
main stopping places. You could spend
the day sailing near Copenhagen ог
riding in the forests near Salzburg or
going to the races іп England or . .

с) Make most of your intercity con-
nections by plane — especially if you're
in a hurry or оп long hauls—since
they're much more flexible if you want
to change flights at the last minute; a
ir amount of time and money usually
gets lost in the cumbrous process of
changing a railroad reservation (that is,
if you have a Pullman room or seat
rather than just an unreserved first-class
ticket). Plan rail and bus runs only
through particularly scenic regions. Re-
member, too, that there's nothing to
мор you — and much to encourage you
— from using other methods of trans-
portation: a boat perhaps across Lake
Geneva or along the Rhine or Danube
as part of your continuing transporta-
tion, or a barge from Holland to Ger-

featured in last month’s issue; bachelor Harold Chaskin actually built such a dream house and this picture
story of a housewarming party gives some indication of the fun that is to be had in such surroundings.
It was springtime in Miami when Chaskin, a youthful New Yorker, first arrived on the scene. That was back
in 1950; Chaskin had with him one suitcase, containing all his worldly belongings, and his entire financial
holdings — $40 in cash. He also had with him, still, the slightly bitter taste of a couple of jobs beid tried out
in New York's unfriendly chill, after the war, and an enthusiastic conviction that the warm simpatico atmos-
phere of Miami might prove much more to his liking and might offer him an opportunity to turn his talents
and his energy to profitable enterprise. He took a job with a tile contractor, quit within a month and decided
to give that business a go on his own. He persuaded a supplier to give him tile on credit and formed the

Harold Chaskin not only knows how
to design a dream house, he also knows
how to warm it. For his hou: ming
party, he invited five beautiful Miami
misses and, being a considerate fellow
and consummate host, he invited a few

anything more fun than a barrel of

AXE in was a small, dusty, backward

But one day a spaceship landed con-
taining the notorious Timothy Mont
and his lawyer, who had come to Oaxe
II for sanctuary and justice. And an-
other spaceship came, containing three
policemen and a Public Prosecutor.
The Public Prosecutor stated, “Your
Honor, this fiend has perpetrated a
heinous crime. Timothy Mont, Your
Honor, burned down an orphanage!
Furthermore, he pleaded guilty before
he fled. 1 have his signed confession.”
Monts lawyer, a pallid man with cold
fish eyes, rose, “Your Honor, my client
is guilty. Г request that you put aside
sentence.”
I'll do no such thing," Judge Low
said. "Burning an orphanage is a hor-
rible crime.
“It is" the lawyer agreed, "in most
places. But my client committed his act

Honor conversant with the customs of
that. planet?"
"No," said the judge.

population of neighboring planets. By
burning the orphanage, my client saved
thousands, perhaps millions of innocent
lives, Therefore he must be considered
a hero of the people."
“Is this true about Altira Ш?” the
judge asked the court clerk.
‘The clerk looked up the facts in the
Encyclopedia of Planetary Customs and
Folklore, and found that it was indeed
true.
Judge Low said, "Then I dismiss this
сизе.”
Mont and his lawyer left, and life
droned peacefully on, on Oaxe П, dis-
turbed only by an occasional lawsuit in-
volving property lines, or the ownership
of pigs and geese. But within a year
Timothy Mont and his lawyer were back
in court, with the Public Prosecutor fol-
lowing close behind them.
The charge again concerned the burn-
ing of an orphanage.
“However,” the pale lawyer pointed
out, “guilty though my client is, the
court must remember that the orphanage
in question was on the planet Deegra IV.
As is well known, all orphans on Deegra
IV are adopted into the torturer's guild,
for the performance of certain abomin-
able rites abhored in all the civilized
galaxy.”
Finding this to be truc, Judge Low
again dismissed the case.
In 15 months, Timothy Mont and his
lawyer were again in court, to stand
trial on the same charge.
"Dear, dear,” Judge Low said. "A re-
former's zeal . . . Where did the crime

The judge turned purple with wrath.
"Timothy Mont, why did you do this?”

That day Judge Low passed a new
law, one which has been noted through-
out the civilized galaxy, and studied in
such diversified places as Droma I and

DUPLICATION
DMOND DRITCHE, а tall, sallow, mis-
anthropic scientist, had been brought
to trial by the General Products Corpora-
tion for Downbeatedness, Group Dis-
loyalty and Negativism, These were
serious charges, and they were substanti-
ated by Dritche's colleagues. The magis-
far-out fables of the far future
trate had no choice but to discharge
Dritche dishonorably. The usual jail
sentence was waived in recognition of
his 19 years of excellent work for Gen-
eral Products; but no other corporation
would ever hire him.
Dritche, sallower and more misan-
thropic than ever, turned his back on
General Products and its endless stream
of automobiles, toasters, refrigerators,
"TV sets, and the like, He retired to his
Pennsylvania farm and experimented in
his basement laboratory.
He was sick of General Products and
all it stood for, which was practically
everything. He wanted to found a colony
of people who thought as he did, felt as
he did, looked like he did. His colony
would be a utopia, and to hell with the
rest of the cheerful, gaclget-ridden world.
"There was only one way to achieve
this. Dritche and his wife Anna toiled
night and day toward the great goal.
At last he met with success. He ad-
justed the unwieldy device he had built
and turned the switch,
From the device stepped an exact
Duplicate of Edmond Dritche.
Dritche had invented the world's first
Duplicator.
He produced five hundred Dritches,
then held a policy meeting. The five
hundred pointed out that, for a success-
ful colony, they needed wives.
Dritche 1 considered his own Anna
a perfect mate. The five hundred Dupli-
cates agreed, of course. So Dritche pro-
duced five hundred exact copies of her
for the five hundred prototype Dritches,
and the colony was founded.
Contrary to popular prediction, the
Dritche colony did well at first. The
Dritches enjoyed each other's company,
never quarreled, and never wished for
visitors. They comprised a satisfied little
world in themselves. India sent a dele-
gation to study their method, and Den-
mark wrote laws to ensure Duplication
rights.
But, as in all other utopian attempts,
the seeds of disaster were present in
simple human frailty. First, Dritche 49
was caught in a compromising position
with Mrs. Dritche 5. Then Dritche 37
fell suddenly and passionately in love
with Anna 142, This in turn led to the
uncovering of the secret love nest built
by Dritche 10 for Anna 498, with the
connivance of Anna 3.
In vain Dritche 1 pointed out that all
were equal and identical. The erring
couples told him he knew nothing about
love, and refused to give up their new
arrangements,
"Тһе colony might still have survived.
But then it was found that Dritche 77
was maintaining a harem of eight
Dritche women, Annas 12, 13, 77, 187,
303, 336, 489 and 500. These women de-
clared him absolutely unique, and re-
fused to leave him.
The end was in sight. It was hastened
when Dritche 1's wife ran away with a
reporter.
The colony disbanded, and Dritches
1, 19, 32 апа 433 died of broken hearts.
It was probably just as well, Certainly

Duplicator used to turn out endless

CRASHING IN ASTEROID BELT HELP HELP
BOLTON.
Rescue ships swept toward the arca
between Mars and Jupiter where the
fiction By ROBERT SHECKLEY
asteroids are strewn. They had a hazy
fix from Bolton's last message; but the
area to be searched was tremendous, and
the chance of rescue was very small.
Three days later, this message was ге-
ceived: CANNOT SURVIVE. MUCH LONGER ON
ASTEROID 1 FACE DEATH WITH SERENE
DIGNITY BOLTON.
Newspapers spoke of the indomitable
spirit of this man, a modern-day Robin-
son Crusoe, struggling for life on an air-
less, foodless, waterless world, his sup-
plies running low, ready—as he had
taught in his books and lectures — to
meet death with serene dignity.
‘The search was intensified.
The last message read: ALL sUPPLIES
GONE SMILING DEATH AWAITS МЕ BOLTON.
Homing in on his final signal, a patrol
boat located the asteroid and landed be-
side the gutted ship. They found the
charred remains of the crew. And they
found ample supplies of food, water and
oxygen. But strangely, there was no sign
of Bolton.
In the very rear of the ship they found
Bolton's robot.
“The professor is dead," the robot said
through rusted jaws. “I sent the last
messages іп name, knowing you
wouldn't come just for me.”
"But how did he die?”
"With the greatest regret I killed
him," the robot said grimly. "1 can as-
sure you that his death was painless.”
“But why did you kill him? And
where is his body?"
"The robot tried to speak, but his cor-
roded jaws refused to function. A squirt
of oil brought him around.
“Lubrication,” Akka said, "is a robot's
greatest problem. Gentlemen, have you
ever considered the problem of render-
ing a human body into its essential fats
and oils without adequate equipment?”
"The rescuers considered it with mount-
ing horror, and the story was suppressed.
But it was heard by the patrol ship's
robot, who pondered it and passed it on
to another robot, and then another.
Only now, since the triumphant re-
volt of the robot forces, can this inspir-
ing saga of a robot's fight against space
be openly told. Hail, Akka, our liberator!

“At home.“
"Why isn't he with you?"
ll make you a deal. Don't tell me
ory of your life and I won't tell you

“We have to start somewhere.”
She gave me a long look with those
magnetic black eyes. Something Г hadn't
felt lately stirred inside me. “АП right,"
she said. "Brace yourself.“ She waited
while I took a deep breath and then
she si I'm a doctor."
"Oh, doctor!” It was her turn to
wince, 1 stared at her. “An M.D?"
“An anesthetist.”
"You can put me to sleep any time."
I sounded as crude as Bill.
She gave me another straight look that
set me tingling. “Now that the jokes are

Anticipation poured through me like a
double brandy. Will she or won’t she?
I measured the liquor. Two things I
was sure of: I didn’t want to get drunk
and I wanted this woman.
When I went back the poodle and the

like a Ubangi’s. I looked around for
Bil. He had wrapped his raincoat
around my girl and dragged her out on
deck to look at a fireboat going by. 1
carried our glasses out there.
“I fix you a drink and you disappear."
"1 didn't go far."
Bill pointed. "See the pretty fireboatz"
He was stoned,
"Don't you two have sense enough to
come in out of the rain?"
“Nag, nag, nag.” He spotted ше bal-
lerina standing in the doorway. “Com-

Romaine and I stood in the gentle
drizzle looking at each other. We touched
glasses. There's a raindrop caught in

She glanced up at my crew cut.
“You've got a tiara.”
“When the sun comes out I turn into
a rainbow.”
“Ned said you were colorful.”
“Not me. I'm a gray flannel mouse.”
“On a cheesecake diet.”
“You're a little too bright.
"I know.” A shadow passed across her
eyes. “I have this brain, I have this face,
I сап talk. Men hate it.”
She moved away and the wind caught
the raincoat, ripping it open, plastering
her skirt against her body. I caught my
breath and reached for her. I folded the
coat around her, turning her in my arms.
Her mouth tasted sweet and wet. She
stood still against me, not fighting, not
pushing me away — but not cooperating
either. I still didn't know. I had, say.

What kind of a day was it? A day like

the radio. Jake and Lena tried to dance
but there really wasn't room in the

You get the picture. We went out on
deck to watch a Coast Guard boat go by,
and by the time we came to that big C

the rain had stopped and the racing
shells were out on the smooth surface of
the river. We shouted to the crewmen
as they skimmed by.
Toward evening we tuned in the sixth
race at Belmont and I made book. Ro-
maine had the Main Chance horse and
won 15 dollars.
"Your lucky day,” I said, laying the
bills in her hand. "Mine, too — 1 hope."
I tried to hold her glance but she low-
ered her lashes, hiding her eyes. (As far
I could tell that was the only thing I
had going for me: she no longer could
look at me. She was avoiding my gaze.)
1 tried moving away from her, giving my
attention to another woman, but it
didn't seem to bother her at all, damn it.
She laughed and chatted easily with any-
опе who stopped beside her while 1

As the boat neared shore we all began
arguing about where we would go for

Ned already had reservations at the Pilot
Club, We checked the poodle and then
all of us crowded around one table in
the middle of the room where I seated
Romaine next to me. I pushed the

Her eyes twinkled like dark stars.

ART OF TRAVEL
side road or follow a mountain lane just
for the hell of it—then driving in Europe
should be right for you.
First, you'll have to decide whether to
rent, lease, buy then sell back, buy a
European car outright then ship it home,
or ship your own car over for use there.
Best of all: rental of a chauffeured lim-
ousine. Time and money are, as usual,
the main keys to your decision. As a
general rule, you'll find that it will pay
to rent a car for periods of less than four
to six weeks and to buy one on a guar-
anteed repurchase plan if you need it
longer. Your deposit is 5100-5300 on а
rental car, and the purchase price of a
new car runs from $850 on the cheapest
Fiat and $1000 for the least expensive
Citroën or British Ford, to 53000 for a
Mercedes 220 or a Porsche convertible
and 54800 for a ста Flaminia, This
purchase price is often required as your
“deposit” on a repurchase plan. In
round figures, and all included, it'll cost
you about $400 to rent and run an ayer-
age European саг on a six-week tour,
and about $460 if you buy the car then
sell it back after six weeks. That $60
differential (which is about the cost of
documents on the car you buy) dwindles
the longer you stay abroad and use the
car you've bought. For instance, for
periods of over 80 days a Citroën 2CV
rents for $7 a day as against $5 а day for
depreciation and insurance over two
months on a repurchase plan. But if you
hold the car for four months before sell-
ing it back, the daily rate for deprecia-
tion and insurance will be down to
around $2.70. And you won't even have
to pay that if you buy the car. So, if
you've even half a mind to buy a c
abroad, use the repurchase plan—no
matter how short а time you're staying—
to try one out without obligation. If you
е it, you'll have paid no rental on the
and can have it wrapped up and
shipped home for about 8120-5150 on
smaller cars sent from England to the
East Coast, $300 for larger cars shipped
from Germany to New York. U.S. cus-
toms duty is 814% of the car's value as a
used car when you bring it in.
When it comes to buying a car over-
seas, some foreign-car dealers in the U.S.
will take your old car as a trade-in and
arrange financing on the new one. If
you are definitely in the market for a
foreign car and are also planning a
European vacation, buying over there
can be a shrewd move. You can, in fact,
get your new car plus a European vaca-
tion for less than the price of the low-
cost American cars and your transatlantic
fare! And you'll do even better as you
draw the parallel on between higher-
priced cars at home and abroad. If you're
interested, then talk it through with your
travel agent and get the fully detailed
(continued from page 36)
booklets put out by car-rental outfits,
foreign-car dealers and others. Hertz
(linked оп this with American Express)
and Avis branches can get you details,
also Auto-Europe, the international
division of the National Car Rental
System. Independents include Europe

Autourist, your local American Automo-
bile Association club, and others.
Probably your very first purchase for
your trip should be a passportsize wal-
let (see Financial Statement, p. 64), and
a set of passport photos, including a [ew
extras to take along in case of emergency
requirements while you're abroad. You'll
want a few bilingual pocket dictionaries
to clarify your sign language wherever
you're going, and a copy of the Guide
Michelin we mentioned, that superb
formant on the most desirable hotels
and delectable eating spots. And a cur-
rency converter.
The bulk of your funds, of course, will
be in traveler's checks. (This, inciden-
tally, will probably make you a customer
of the American Express Со, and Am.
exco grandly responds by forwarding or
holding mail for you as you gad about

your plans еп route, a postcard keeps
your correspondence a-coming along

perfect legality by looking into the rates
of exchange of the various countries you
plan to visit, even before you leave the
U.S. Many times, converting your long
green here may give you а more favor-
able rate of exchange than you'll en-
counter abroad. Conversely, when chang-
ing back to American money, do it
abroad, not here. But don't forget to
hold out enough of the foreign currency
to cover tips, cabs, and such, on the way
back to the ship or plane.
Another point to remember is that
the v s of European electrical sys-
tems may bring you up against direct

contented moment when you're about to

tenders in the lounge are tipped when
you pay your tab, as you might in any
Madison Avenue pub. Mind readers and
optimists in the realm of human nature
have been known to advance —
just to put the crew at rest on that vital
point as to whether you are a tightwad
or a soft mark — and thus forestall any
posible desertion in favor of heavy
promisers on the next deck. But gen-
erally you tip on the last night out, or,
on cruises, somewhere along the half-
way mark.
Next, what to take?
On shipboard, you can obviously af-
ford to carry more changes than if flying,
what with weight limits and all. But
with some of the big ship lines tieing
in with airlines to fly you home (and de-
livering your excess luggage via the sea
route), not to mention side trips you'll
want to make by air, you'll do well to
avoid any elephantsize trunks, and di-
vide your things among a few rugged
suitcases and a 12 x 18 x 26 job which
fits neatly into Continental train and
plane luggage racks. Meanwhile, your
main gear is checked with your travel
representative or back at the hotel. Your
luggage should be free of fancy builtin
fittings. Open space is what you'll need
most, and a good lock. The lock isn't
primarily for pilfering protection — a
good whack from another bag will often
snap yours open, and you wouldn't want
this to happen somewhere between the
ship and the dock.
If you're going on a cruise, you can
shoot the works on the amount of cloth-
ing you take long, and indulge in extra
luxuries like a second set of evening
clothes, just in case. But if you're head-
ing for Europe and beyond, you'll want
to keep the total to а spare but ade-
quate minimum.
There's some debate about dressing
for dinner on shipboard. On the first
night out, of course, nobody does. On
the last night out, practically everybody
does. In between, it's up to you, and con-
sidering that you're one of the roving
kind — eyes included — why not be at
your best? Some others will dress every
night, particularly on the big ships, and
the best bet for you is to select evening
clothes that suggest elegance and in-
formality all at once. Black or midnight.

THE WINE DEALER’S WIFE
A newly translated tale from the Contes а Venus of Jacques Redelsperger
Ribald Classic
H RI METULET, а wholesale wine
dealer, had the most charming wife
in Paris. When she walked down the
Champs-Elysées women stared in obvi-
ous envy at her face and figure, In social
gatherings people enjoyed her sparkling
wit. Monsieur Métulet watched his wife
closely, and when he saw her even talk
to another man there were angry scenes
in which he accused her of infidelity. “If
that’s the way he is going to be,” she said
to herself, “I'll try to act in such a way
as to merit his accusation.”
In short, instead of one lover, she took
two, which was only logical under the
circumstances. And it was a problem
to keep these two men from running
into each other and at the same time
keep her husband from finding out
about the arrangement. One of the
lovers was a student, the other a dashing
captain of the guards. The young man
was not stupid, and he soon found out
about his military opponent, but he said
to himself philosoph: T

One day, when the husband was sup-

had been in bed with her for over an
hour; the cock had crowed three times,
and they were resting gently on their
laurels, when suddenly they heard a
sound of boots, a jangle of spurs, and
the rattle of a sword.
Heavens,” exclaimed the woman,
"s the army! Here, grab your clothes
and hide under the bed."
She ran to open the door. "Why,
Captain, I was not expecting you until
this afternoon. I wanted to be sure
Monsieur was leaving town as he said.
You know how jealous husbands are.”
The captain went to the window to
be sure the coast was clear. Just at that
moment he saw Monsieur Métulet walk-
ing rapidly across the square toward the
house. "You were right" he gasped.
"There he is. He suspects something,
and he is coming here to kill me. What
are we poing to do?"
Madame Métulet thought for a sec-
ond. "Lets not lose our heads. We
must find a reason to explain why you
are here ... I have it. Draw your sword.
When my husband enters the door, rush
out shouting at the top of your voice,
“ГИ catch him yet! I'll catch him yet!"
And leave the rest to me.“
Almost knocked down by the captain
as he came in the door, the indignant
husband asked his wife, "Who was that
madman who just ran out of here?"

wife calmly. "About ten minutes ago, a
young man dressed only in his under-

but he didn’t give me time to think.

sword. If he finds me I am а dead тап."

the bed, and no sooner was he hidden
there than the jealous husband rushed
through the door.. He looked all around
without even asking permission, but
fortunately did not look under the bed.

VIVA PIZZA!
the purpose of demonstrating the way
in which he intends to treat your head.
From transplanted Italians in this
country you'll hear all kinds of dicta on
how you can learn the art of pizza bak-
ing. Older Italian women fulminate
against such spurious equipment as
or electric stoves. You can't possibly
make a real pizza, they insist, unless you
have a wood-burning oven built along-
side an open hearth. Some professional
pizza makers, too, tend to sneer at any
man who hasn't spent several decades
learning arcane skills from his Sicilian
great-grandfather. These injunctions, all
delivered with a certain ruddy charm,
are, in truth, so much superstition.
Actually you need only a pigeonhole
of a kitchen to make your own pizzas.
And you'll make great pizza provided
you start out with the correct original
conception, namely, that the three parts
of the pizza — the crisp dough, the filling
and the cheeses (plural) — must all be
built into a tantalizing plumpness.
As far as the dough is concerned,
don't attempt to compete with the grand-
stand play bakers make in the windows
of pizzerias. You don't have to learn the
difficult and senseless skill of swinging
the dough around your fist, tossing it
into outer space, and stretching it as

buttons to anchor the deep V-front. Shell cut trunks in blue

(continued from page 29)
thin as a balloon. As a matter of fact
the dough will be better if it isn't
stretched, but slowly and gently pressed
with your finger tips after they've been
dipped lightly in olive oil. If you're a
novice, don’t get perturbed should the
recipe call for yeast. There are probably
less failures in baked goods made with
yeast than in those that use baking
powder. Simply remember that yeast is
inactive when cold or dry, that it grows
(causes the dough to rise) when it's dis-
solved in warm water, and that it stops
working when exposed to a great heat
(when the pizza is baked).
Making the simple bread dough that's
used for pizza is so easy that it can usu
ally be mastered on the first try, but if
you're uneasy about making your own
dough, there are a number of easy alter-
natives. You can sometimes buy a piece
of dough from a baker or pizzeria owner.
You can use one of the packaged yeast
dough mixes designed for making rolls.
Or you can buy a pizza mix which con-
tains not only the exact ingredients for
making the dough but also the pizza
sauce and grated cheese.
One of the best pizza sauces is the
canned marinara tended. pri-
marily for spaghetti dishes. Canned
pizza sauces are sometimes a little watery;

you may have to add a tablespoon or
iwo of tomato paste to give them the
necessary body. When the recipe calls
for canned tomatocs in place of a sauce,
be sure to get the best grade of Italian
plum tomato — called pomodiro, or
apple of gold. This is the firm kind that
you can split in two with your fingers,
then flip the seeds aside. In adding other
solid ingredients to the filling you can ad
lib indefinitely: Use prepared meat balls,
the hard sausages called pepperoni, pros-
ciutto ham, green peppers, anchovies, са
pers, sardines, truffles, chicken livers
or any other cooked meat, seafood or
vegetable
The wick of blending a number of
cheeses into one dish is one of the sure
signs that a pizza man really knows his
Italian culinary tradition. In making a
fine lasagna, for instance, a skilled chef
will sometimes include five or six differ-
ent kinds of cheese. And while a pizza
isn't regarded primarily as a cheese dish,
the blending of cheeses helps give the
pizza its billowy deliciousness. Cheese
mollifies the salty anchovies, soothes the
garlic and tempers the tomatoes. If you
can't buy а variety of Italian cheeses in
your neighborhood, some effective sub-
stitutions can be made. In place of bel
paese or mozzarella use port du salut or
munster or brick cheese. In place of
provolone use smoked cheddar. For the

United States until the middle Thirties
Now oregano can be found on almost
every store shelf. The native American
herb of the same family, sweet marjoram,
hardly competes with the slightly bitter,
slightly sweet, imported oregano, the
one thing which asserts that a pizza
really is a pizza. The ancient Romans
believed that the herb contained the
touch of the fingers of Venus herself, and
it's used in every pizza recipe except
pizza rustica, It may appear in the pizza
sauce or atop the filling
The length of the recipe for pizza
dough which follows may seem forbid-
ding. But the actual working time is
brief, if you don't count the period
while the dough is rising.
PIZZA DOUGH
(For one 9-inch pie)
Sift together 114 cups all-purpose Hour
(previously sifted and measured), 1% tea-
spoon salt and 14 teaspoon ground white
pepper. Dissolve 1% cake yeast ог Lë
packet dry yeast in И cup lukewarm
water. Melt 2 tablespoons lard over a low
Нате. In a gencroussize mixing bowl
combine 4 cup milk, the dissolved yeast
and the lard. Add V4 cup of the sifted
flour, and beat very smooth with a wire
whip. Gradually add the balance of the
flour, mixing with a kitchen spoon until
a dough is formed. You'll need a little
extra muscle power here. "The dough
should be somewhat moist. In order to
make it dry enough to handle, sprinkle
lightly with flour. Form the dough into a
ball and place it on a floured board.
Knead it; that is, fold the dough toward
you with your finger tips, and then press
down and away with the heels of your
hands. Turn the dough one quarter
tum after each pressing in order to
keep it compact. If the dough sticks to
the board, scrape the board, then dust
it lightly with flour, using as little flour
as possible, Knead the dough for 8 to 4
minutes, then place it in а lightly
greased bowl. Cover the bowl with a
plate or a damp cloth and put it in a
warm place, about 90°, until the dough
doubles in bulk. Use any warm spot,
alongside a radiator, near a furnace, ctc.
Or, if no such warm place is accessible,
place the bowl over a pan of warm
water at about 90°. Since the water will
not maintain this temperature for the
entire rising period, you may haye to
change it several times. Of course, оп а
very warm summer day, the dough will
rise at ordinary room temperature.
After the dough has doubled in bulk,
punch it down. If you're not going to
use it immediately, you should brush it
lightly with oil, wrap it in wax paper,
and refrigerate it. It may be stored sev-
eral days in the refrigerator.
After punching the dough down,
place it on a floured board and let it rest
10 to 15 minutes. During this time it
will become more supple and easier to
handle. Place the dough in a greased 9-
inch ріс рап. Dip the finger tips in olive
ой, and press the dough out toward the
rim of the pan, then around the rim so
that it forms a raised edge that will hold
the filling. A large pizza pan or large
griddle pan requires а double batch of
dough.
PREPARED PIZZA MIXES
These mixes, most of which are sur
prisingly good, will save you the labor
of measuring your own ingredients. But
after mixing the dough, the procedure
of kneading the dough, letting it rise
and shaping it will be the same as out
lined above. Usually the directions on
the package will indicate that there is
enough dough for three 9-inch pizzas.

New stereo owners often hear a

Standard record players were
designed so that undesirable vi-
bration was aimed in a vertical
direction. That's because in mono-

is O.K. Butinstereo, vertical buck-
ing makes your records sound as
if they had acid indigestion.
What to do? You could pur-

one of Thorne's suitcases, under the

UPSTAIRS
(continued from page 25)
the elements which Monk leaves mod-
estly unmentioned are talent and a point
of view.
Monk has a talent for picking talent.
Alumni of his d aris are household
words like Ronny Graham and Dody
Goodman, and the people in his present
revue, a brouhaha in 1 ts called Demi-
Dozen, are extremely able performers
named Jean Arnold, Сей Cabot,
Connell, Jack Fletcher, George Hall and
Gerry Matthews.
Besides ability and variety, the other
commodity purveyed by these revuers
and their writers is satire, that element
which Gcorge S. Kaufman once defined
as “what closes on Saturday night." Up-
stairs at the. Downstairs, however, this
proverbial Saturday has become a per
petual tomorrow that never arrives. In
an age like ours, when the mass media
don't dare portray any member of so
ciety as incompetent for fear his lobby
and/or union will storm the studios and
ihrow rocks at the sponsor, whatever
Monk's minions do dare is diverting, re-
freshing, and usually amusing.
Picture, if you are able, a sophisticated
song of the Noel Coward school, рге
sented as à comic strip by Mad maga-
zinc. You may have to slip spectacles
over your mind's eye to make the effort,
but if you're successful you'll have a
fairly accurate vision of the Monkian
method. One song subjected to this
Monkish business appeared in the last
revue, Take Five, and was called The
Pro Musica Antiqua:
What а fool 1 was to go, but how
could 1 nonny nonny know.
Well he took me up to his flat, as
he had said,
ind he locked the door and he sat
on his great double bed.
Ind he looked at me with eyes that
lie,
ind 1 knew when I saw that look
in his eye —
That he had no recordings of Des
Pris and Dufay,
From the Pro Musica
Antiqua.
Well there I stood, I was rooted in
my place,
1s I viewed with dread my deceitful
lover's face.
For 1 knew from the lovesick look
in his eye
He could lay me low with a single
sigh.
Well he laid me low and he laid
me high,
AL the Pro Musica, the Pro Musica,
the Pro Musica Antiqua.
Perhaps the most successful piece in
the current show is one called Confer-
ence Call, in which three ad agency types
(one of whom is on a bongo board) are
on a three-way phone hookup, discussing
superlative French cuisine.

Llama
sweater...
none better!
No spoofing, here's а full-fashioned, hand
knit sweater that does as much for a man
as а woman (Almost). Because of its amaz-
ing thermostatic qualities, Llama wool is
known to retain body warmth even at
—30* in the frigid Andes . . . to seal
out heat on the torrid 130° plains of
Peru, keeping our Llama constantly comfy.
Now humans, too, may enjoy this com-
fort. The hornless hair structure sheds
dirt, snow, water . . . dries in a trice
(if you have one) Rugged, yes, but cash-
mere-soft to the touch (watch it, buster).
Natural colors (not dyed) never wash out.
Grey, brown, beige, black, charcoal. If
you're allergic to ordinary wool, the Llama
sweater is your salvation. Crew or vee
neck, 36 to 44, Give alternate color.
BONUS! Order two (one for your playmate)
and receive matching Llama wool socks
FREE for each sweater! State size.

a, he graduated from the Cincinnati
conservatory of Music an accomplished
pianist and moved to New York, where
he got а job as accompanist to a then-
unknown singer named Dorothy Lamour
and played many a nightclub. A stint
abroad followed; he pianoed in a gaggle
of Parisian and South-of-France boites,
until he met and was hired by Herbert
oby, owner of Paris’ Le Ruban Bleu.
When Jacoby decided to open a New
York counterpart of his Paris club, Monk
took over as impresario. He held the
job for 15 years, either discovering or
adding luster to such talent as Graham,
Imogene Coca, Liberace, Maurice Rocco,
Thelma Carpenter, Lisa Kirk, Jonathan
Winters, The Four Lads and Professor
Irwin Corey.
When Monk was struck by his idea
for integrated cabaret, he decided he'd
need a special kind of place to test it.
He found it in a cellar on Gth Avenue:
Ine place was ghastly. The stage was
in the worst possible spot — right in the
gs even cozier, the building
was condemned. Everything about the
club was ridiculous, including the laugh:
ably small rent, so I decided to take it.”
When a combination of three hit
shows and a wrecking company figura.

house, Monk moved to his present quar-
ters, where he expects a long, uninter-
vupted st
Despite his Caro! origin, Monk
prefers to speak with a heavy English
accent, trim mustache, and is
in every sense of the word a model of
ible grooming and Continental
since he was one of the six top
male models in this country last year.
His elegant person has highlighted ad-
vertisements for such products as Kings
Ransom Scotch, Jaguar automobiles and
Burberry Clothes. Now that his rooms
have become so successful, however, he
seldom models more than four hours a
week,
An intended numerical progression is
evident іп the titles of Monk's shows.
The first was Four Below; it was lol-
lowed by Son of Four Below; Take Five
s next; and Demi-Dozen is current.
Iwo of the shows are available from
Offbeat Records: Take Five and Demi
Dozen (Playboy After Hours, Sept. 758
and March 759). Turning to the future,
Monk muses:
“Some day, when Demi-Dozen runs its

JET WEEKEND
(continued from page 38)
choice of seven entrees prepared at Мах-
im's, including pheasant and lobster.
The seven-hour air time from New
York to Paris is a breeze in a plane like
almost a complete absence
ion — and your New York to
Paris round-trip ticket allows you а stop-
over in London on the way back.
The wardrobe you'll need for a јесаре
weekend — for a date іп Paris
night, another in London on Saturday —
isn't too different from what you'd take
on a longer junket. One dark and onc
light suit form the basis of a gentleman's
wardrobe regardless of his destination. A
sports jacket, a pair of slacks and a din-
ner jacket round it out perfectly. In
selecting which suits to take, remember
that England and France іп the spring
can be pretty cool at night and a wool
worsted with a vest will be the most
comfortable, Formal clothes should be
black for spring, for although the lighter
toned jackets are recommended іп the
U.S., they still are not completely a
ceptable abroad. Your wash-and-wear,
Dacron-and-cotton spread-collar shirt can
be converted to ап evening shirt by just
adding your black tie and formal cuff
links.
For convenience, it is possible to limit
your shoes to two pairs and a pair of
folding fabric bedroom slippers. One,
the pair you wear as you board the plane;
is a black shoe that can do double duty
for informal as well as formal occasions.
The other should be a completely сот
fortable pair of sport shoes of а soft
leather that makes for с king and
simple packing. No matter if you have
been abroad many times or if the jet
weekend is your first trip, a certain
amount of sightseeing and shopping
(which always means more walking than
usual) is unavoidable, Slippers, too, are
indispensable. Choose a pair that fold
and fit into a compact case, They're
space saving, too, for they'll double as
bedroom slippers in your hotel room
and for foot case on your flight. Inside
the shoes you extra handker-
chiefs, socks and ties. The ties will not

For air travel, the luggage to be used
should have these three qualities

looks. Handsome leather luggage is still
the most popular, but new types of ma

needs; опе a dark small-brimmed felt
that is designed to be rolled up to slip

weekend trip this saves time and
you can drop your bags at your hotel and,

blue will do for the jacket, but at this
season you might decide on wine or
gold: these tones are mixed deeply with
black in the fabric so that the ovcrall
effect is very subdued. Your tie and cum-
merbund will match the jacket; the trou-
sers are always black or midnight blue.
You can relax a little on dress shirts.
Plain whites will do, soft collar attached.
You'll need about three, and perhaps
one of them might have a ruffled front.
After that you go down the line with:
one dark suit, onc light; one jacket and
ks outfit you carry aboard on your
topcoat and/or raincoat; robe
d slippers; wear a hat going aboard
4 pack a couple of caps; assorted shoes
for dress, and for loafing; plenty of
shirts and sport shirts, ties, socks, hand-
kerchiefs, jewelry, belts (don't overlook
evening braces), gloves, toiletries, unde
wear, sunglasses, etc.
If you're flying, your wardrobe has to
hit the weight limit to the ounce, or
you'll be parlaying simple multiplica
to higher mathematics. Your
ternational first-class ticket permits 66
pounds, but local flights abroad and
transatlantic tourist tickets limit you to
44, so it may be wiser to count on that
from the beginning.
Here are a few tips on how you may
be weighed and still not found wanting.
You sally forth armed to the teeth
like а commando — since your own
framework and what's on it as you board
the plane are counted in their load but
not in your 44 pounds. So wcar jacket
and slacks, lightweight sweater, cap or
crushable felt hat. Your lightweight top-
coat or raincoat is on your arm; camera
and binoculars are slung over your
shoulder.
For the rest, this was actually put on
a scale, and made it: one lightweight
suit, light shade; second suit, dark; an-
other sports jacket, and slacks; 2 sport
shirts; $ white shirts; 1 blue or gray
shirt; 4 pairs shorts; 6 ties; 12 handker-
Chiefs; 6 pairs socks; 2 pairs pajamas; 1
robe; 2 belts; shaving kit, toiletries, etc.;
| pair swimming trunks; clothes brush;
Tshirt (In Portugal, they require a
top to your swimming trunks, so thi
will double); 2 pairs shoes.
And, believe it or not, this still allows
you a few more pounds, for a light-
weight dinner outfit, or extras on the
other stuff.
You'll probably buy a lot of stuff
throughout Europe, but don't forget
that Copenha Shannon, Paris and
Frankfurt free ports: you can
really make a killing by doing a lot of
your buying at these spots, if they're on
vour way. And in both London and
Paris, you'll enjoy sizable discounts on
your purchases if you have them deliv-

ered to you on your plane.
Now, lets assume that you're flying
independent, pre-
ranged tour which involves a train or
plane for long Continental hauls, and
a car at resorts or for short scenic runs,
with a minimum of conducted sight-
secing arranged ahead of time at major
cities, and ample Пее time in each.
You're buying most of the transportation
and much of your European currency
and making most of the arrangements
through your agent well ahcad of time
in the States, But our original premise
of artful travel involves having the local
version of a good time wherever you are.
You'll obviously make your own selec-
tions as you plan your trip, but here are
a [ew possibilities:
Hotels — your base of operations is
vital not only as a good address or for
memorable luxury, but also because the
guidance the concierge will give you will
be keyed to the level of the people using
that hotel. Rely өп him for everything.
Tip him every time you pay cash, other-
wise when he presents his bill for out-
lays on your behalf at the end of your
stay. There are certain hotels of great
class you should surely use if you're any-
where near them: Claridges in London,
the Royal Danicli in Venice (but ask for
the old wing), the Ritz in Paris, atmos-
pheric Sachers in Vienna, the Hotel
de la Cloche at Dijon, the superluxuri-
ous Aviz in Lisbon (but it's small, an ex:
castle with only 26 rooms, so book. way
way-way ahead) and, among the resorts,
the Hotel de Paris at Monte Carlo, the
Negresco at Nice, the Alhamar near
Malaga, the Cap at Cap d'Antibes, the
Berghaus on top of the Jungfrau in
Switzerland, Formentor on Mallorca, the
Reine ас Vevey, and the San
nico at Taormi
Feminine companionship is your next
most important consideration. The.
streets and the bars and nightclubs and
even the hotel concierge can turn up
professionals everywhere; the choice is
yours. If you prefer to hunt up your
own, then the situation varies geograph-
ically from the much-touted freedom of
Scandinavian girls (notably in Denmark)
to the “scorched carth ation in
Spain, Italy and Portugal. There are ско
feminine categories that do not fit into
any geographical pattern: one is the
genuinely upper-class type (so that any
introductions you сап wangle from
friends home are worth more than
gold; otherwise, try your luck at golf or
tennis clubs) and American girls, who're
everywhere on the Continent in sum.
mer. The best source of these last are
the American Express offices, where they
come to get mail, exchange traveler's
checks, buy tours, сс. In England and
France, and particularly in France, you
usually have to “belong” before you с
get to first base for a try at second;
you'll belong fastest in a group (know
