WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1969 mm A FORUM ABOUT MATURE WOMEN m Men act while women only talk â€" but in this case that‘s a plus for women, for the act in this case is murder. Stanley Ellin, president of the _ Mystery _ Writers Association, says that while men commit more murders than women, women have distinguished. themselves at figuring out how to go about the deed. What‘s more, he said, they read more about homicides â€" in the form of whodunits and the Bronteâ€" like Gothic novel (written almost exclusively by female mystery writers and enjoying an _ enormous paperback sale) â€" than do men. Take â€" some _ leading mystery writers â€" Dorothy Sayers, Agatha Christie and Mary Roberts Rinehart, for example. Ellin points out that they "were, and are, among the most gentle and genteel souls, but one suspects ‘that they have a combination of literary imagination and a way of Northwest Mts. 7 Grous 2 ' Bagel King Larry‘s B.P.

The pale shades, with color pracâ€" tically nonâ€"existent, are best for the young. The clear, deeper pinks, peaches, oranges, corals and someâ€" times the rosyâ€"ambers, are recommended for women between 20 and 30. But for women over 40 the rosy shades are best. Every age, however, should avoid the dark, dark reds. Why not experiment by _ buying inexpensive lipsticks at the local 5â€"andâ€"10 to mix or choose the most flattering shades? Lipstick Shades Dear Miss Brookfield: I am well over 40 and brunette (with the help of color rinses).

If you follow her novels in sequence, you discover she fell in love with her own hero and finally wound up identifying herself with a heroine she introduces into the series who, in the end, married her hero and lived happily ever after. On her own, by the way, she did marry very successfully. "Agatha Christie,‘" he added, "also started very much in the same way but maintained a much more highly intellectual approach. She â€" married an _ arâ€" chaeologist and has also made a good marriage. "I don‘t know," Ellin mused. ‘"Perhaps writing mysteries helped these women establish the happy marriages to come for them." No, not legally, if that‘s what you‘re asking. ‘Under the law, a husband has a responsibility to provide his wife with a residence of her own. But instead of citing your legal rights, use a little diplomacy to try to change his mind about the move, if you feel so strongly about it.

Some doctors do use the conâ€" traceptive pill into the postâ€" menopausal stage to relieve hot flashes. But once the woman has passed the menopausal period of life, most physicians prefer to use estrogen alone to relieve symptoms caused by a deficiency of this female hormone. My husband and some of his friends decided to try jogging the other day. I am all for exercise but it cerâ€" tainly didn‘t seem to do my husband any good.. He was exhausted the next day. What do you think? Murder: Real Of course, some crimes â€" in fact as well as in fiction â€" have ‘been perpetrated by women. ‘""Some of the most prominent murders in history were women, and if they _ weren‘t Lucrezia Borgia, they were charged with it," Ellin said. But female motives. differ from male ones. "A woman is capable of a much more subtle form of killing...The woman murderer is curious. I would say that the woman is more inclined to murder from passion â€" jealousy or sacrificial love â€" and someâ€" what less for gain. ‘"The man murderer, in actuality, is usually a man exploding into violence and is generally not a repeater. He is someone who in a drunken moment simply lets go. Getting down to the realistic aspect of murder, alcohol plays a part in the majority of cases. Women are not _ the alcoholics men are, so that they‘re saved many more cases of swinging an ax or bar stool at someone." continue to take this pill after the menopause to relieve menopausal sympâ€" toms.

His latest book, ‘"The Bind," for which film rights have already been sold, will be published this spring by Random House. His previous novel, "The Valentine Estate," is available in paperback. The film version of an earlier novel, "House of Cards," is scheduled for release in 1970. As a writer of mystery tales, Ellin is often asked about the demise of the classic tale of detection symbolized by the Sherlock Homes stories. He points out that the contemporary writer has been influenced by the hardboiled school created by Dashiell Hamâ€" mett, Raymond Chandler and James Cain. He believes the mystery tale will be further changed by the next generation of writers. More socially conscious, "they will not look for the Chinese puzzle kind of mystery as much as for the sociological study of why human beings do what they do." Mystery Fans Mystery writers who are able to plot and solve crimes are sometimes baffled by their fans. Ellin became an international success with the publication, over 20 years ago, of his first short story, "Specialty of the House," in Ellery Queen‘s Magazine. Ellin summed up the famous tale: "It was about a sort of macabre restâ€" aurant where the customers, without knowing it, were being fed each other. They would be lured into the kitchen one by one over the years, there to become the main course for _ the customers in the dining room.‘"‘ He had suggested in this story that human flesh tasted like lamb. His first fan letter â€" "a moment every writer looks forward to"‘ â€" arrived, from a man in New Mexico.
