The princess, as every pre-TV schoolchild recalls, is a lady so sensitive that she can feel a pea through a great thickness of mattresses, thereby passes the test of royalty and may marry the prince. Mattress' bookmakers offer odds that there was more to this yam than met the eye of Hans Christian Andersen.

Author Janeway (The Walsh Girls, Daisy Kenyan) has attempted a novel of pother and passion, and has succeeded only in forcing her story into the mold of cakemix fiction.

Long's houses, ranging from $8,975 to $25,950, offer extra space, glamour and luxury touches (gables, palm trees, sliding glass doors), yet sell for about $1,500 less than those of most of his competitors.
