...shop. Got it in one, eh? Yes, and now Cardullo's is closed (not that Aunt Edna liked those sticky Smyrna figs you palmed off on her last year, anyway), and Uncle Jack is much too busy at Leavitt and Peirce's to attend to your simple needs (Cousin Thelma wasn't at ali pleased with those personalized kitchen matches, you will remember). What, then, is to be done? Well, how about a record for once? We've heard 'em all, and if you'll sit very still, and promise not to fidget, we'll tell you what you want...
Even more pure and lovely, if possible are the voices of the Choristers of King's College, Cambridge, whose annual Christmas Eve service, A Festival of Lessons and Carols, London has also recorded (London 5523).

The name Edythe Marrener is at least as interesting as Susan Hayward. Why change Thelma Ford to Shirley Booth, Jeanette Morrison to Janet Leigh, Patrick Barry to Barry Sullivan, Edward Flanagan to Dennis O'Keefe, Kim Reid to Kim Stanley, Virginia McMath to Ginger Rogers, Julie Wells to Julie Andrews, Helen Beck to Sally Rand, John Hamilton to Sterling Hayden, Diane Belmont to Lucille Ball...
...another new book, The Intelligent Parents' Guide to Teen-Agers (228 pp.; Paul S. Eriksson, Inc.; $3.95), Author Thelma C. Purtell, a Manhattan-based housewife with a Midwestern upbringing, quotes an old hand on an old problem: "Our youth now loves luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority, disrespect for older people. Children nowadays are tyrants. They no longer rise when their elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble their food and tyrannize their teachers." The author, Mrs. Purtell points out with undisguised glee, is Socrates, and the time some 2,400 years...
