...pretty "ChiChi" Daly writes a daily column ("On the Solid Side") about teen-age manners & morals for the Chicago Tribune and 34 other newspapers, also turns out two Sunday newspaper columns and a monthly feature for the Ladies' Home Journal. Between times she lectures, and turns up as guest star on radio and TV. Last week Chi-Chi tossed off another chore; she autographed copies of her latest (and fourth) book of etiquette for teenagers, Blondes Prefer Gentlemen (Dodd, Mead; $2.50), and signed a contract for her column with the New York Daily News.

Freud's followers, says Salter, waste their patients' time (and money...
...each of his works Henry Green has tried to investigate a new condition of life. His special "experiment" (apart from tricks of punctuation that are usually more irritating than useful) is to catch his variegated Britons in a situation (blindness, old age, a dense fog) from which they cannot escape-"imprisoned in a rudimentary part of life," says Critic Henry Reed. Thus, Green's characteristically terse titles-Blindness, Living, Caught, Back, Party Going, Concluding-are like simple signposts indicating the general direction in which he intends to explore...
