Up to now, every time Prime Minister Eden called for anâ€" ether hitch in the belt to halt Inflation the Dockers threw anâ€" other pink champagne party. Every time the Chancellor of tie Exchequer announced a new credit squeeze, Lady Dockâ€" e drove by in a new Daimler cir, designed to match her Istest hat. by Tom A.

But Sir Bernard‘s ouster as Irss of the 75 million dollar Biâ€"mingham Small Arms group w‘ companies, which makes ‘â€"imler motor cars among other ‘mgs, has somewhat changed [*is is my problem: My husâ€" 0c shows how sorry he is that > guf mnarried, and doesn‘t > utate to blame me.

"My whole idea has been to help the company," she said. "If I have tripped up in any way and let anybody down, I‘m sorry, I did not mean it." The apology worked no better than Lady Docker‘s campaign of 10,500 autographed photoâ€" graphs of herself in a black net gown, which she sent to B.S.A. stockholders with the plea: "Please put my husband back as chairman." For what incensed the stockâ€" holders was the revelation of the many dodges by which the Dockers â€" and other business executives â€"‘ seek to evade Briâ€" tain‘s tough tax laws. Take the $24,000 worth of glad rags, including a sapphire mink stole, which Lady Docker wore at the recent opening of the Daimler showroom in Paris, for example. The bill for these was presented to the B.S.A. group as "expenses." And the goldâ€"plated Daimler with which Lady Docker used to sear the eyeballs of Londonâ€" ers â€" this was an "expense" item, too. The same goes for the zebraâ€"skin upholstered Daimler and the silverâ€"starred Daimler, both designed by Lady Docker. Most guests drove their cars to Grace Kelly‘s wedding in Monte Carlo, but not the Dockâ€" ers. They chartered two planes at a cost of $6,000 to have their Daimlers flown to Monaco. The cost was also written off as "exâ€" penses." When the bill for all these items was presented to the Birâ€" mingham Small Armsgroup reâ€" cently, the directors refused to pay it. Sir Bernard‘s argument was that his wife‘s furs, clothes and "TM LOSING MY FRIENDS!" "Dear Znne Hirst: At the rate my parents are going, I won‘t have any friends left. They are so strict that whenever a girl friend asks me to go anywhere, I have to make up some excuse or tell them the truth â€" that my mother won‘t let me. By now they understand and they have stopped asking me. I am 15. "I‘m not allowed even to go to a girl friend‘s house. All they say is, wherever you go, you go with us. "How can I ever have a boy friend when I can‘t even hold on to the girls I like? It isn‘t that my parents don‘t trust me, for they know I wouldn‘t do anyA‘ thing I‘d be ashamed of. About six months ago I was interested in a nice boy and they knew it; but when he came to my house they completely ignored him, and said he wasn‘t good enough for me. I‘ve made them think I‘ve iforgotten him, but I still love him and always will. "I really don‘t understand my; father and mother, much as Ii try.

Said â€" Lady â€" Docker: "You can‘t sell Daimlers by riding around on a motorâ€"scooter." Some Britons are of the opinâ€" ion that the Dockers should be subsidized by the government for the note of verve and lavish living which they have introâ€" duced into otherwise drab Briâ€" tish life. How They ‘Eat‘ On The Stage Lady Docker, who started life as a $7.50 a week salesgirl, is to the British public what Rita Hayworth, _ Bobo Rockeieller and Gloria Vanderbilt Stokowâ€" Miss Dorothy Tutin not long: ago described her plight, one evening in I am a Camera, when! the play required her to make‘ and drink a ‘prairie oyster‘ in | full view of the audience and| cach egg as she broke it proved, to be bad. There was no‘opporl tunity to leave the stage to proâ€"| cure something better, so the; only thing for a conscientious actress to do was to pull herself) together and drink the horrid| concoction. Miss Tutin‘s experiâ€"] ence, though perhaps an extreme, case, is not essentially different, from the kind of thing with‘(' which actors up and down the, land have to put up nightly. | Stage food, alas for illusion,‘ is no more like real food than the people in plays are, as a rulo,' like people in real fife. It is therefore a callous, if not actual-‘ ly malevolent, dramatist whq calls upon his actors to eat on the stage. For one thing this im-i poses certain strain on their, technique. The novice, we sus pect, will have considerable difâ€" ficulty in uttering such a cry as ‘Poison‘!‘ in the proper tone of| mingled surprise, dismay and in-‘ dignation when his mouth is full; and although the old band will not fall into so obvious a trap if he is to avoid it he will need to work out beforehand proetty precisely at what points to take a bite. He is also likely to have strong views on what food goes ;down most easily, and this will }scldom be found to coincide with | what the character he plays is supposed to be eating. A square meal on the stage has a way of turning out to be apple. Slices of apple, cut as late | _ So far. it may ke objected,| there is little of that vocational; lhardship to which Miss Tutin‘s, ordeal so starkly drew attention., lSo far, it is true, it has bepn, | merely a matter of the awkwardâ€" \ness of having to cat on the stage| \at all. The tosting time begins \ when we come to kippers. The: , standard substitute for kippers fis dates, which are flattened out |and cut to shape. Fancy the senâ€" satory imbroglia in which the actor finds himself, when his | palate startles him with news of || something sweet whereas his imâ€" | agination â€" if he is ‘living‘ the \part, as the innocent phrase has | it â€" is all keyed up for someâ€" :\ thing very different. proj / ‘Those whe frown on selfâ€"inâ€" dulgence may be glad to know that stage caviar can be veryâ€" very nasty. In the West End, and | when supplied free by the merâ€" chant, it may be genuine, but \farther afieid what is substituted ’for it will depend on the ingenâ€" |uity and the kindliness of the | stage _ management. _ Instances \‘have been known of the comâ€" We‘ve only just begun to fight," said Lady Docker as they soared off to Naples. She knows how to fight, too. She was once bounced from the casino at Monte Caro for blacking the leye of a eroupier.

Burnt sugar. as |everyone knows is the classical ‘foundation of those strong spirits| iww’hich the personages of the play. | can afford to drink so much more | ‘freely than their counterparts inil ;‘ life. Burnt sugar and water does! ifor rum, for whisky, for brandy‘ \! â€" for anything, in short, that is| “ brown, except beer, which is \,{:enorally actual beer, But there: | are theatres where one must save. |even on the burnt sugar, andi ‘there gravy browning takes its | place. | â€" But nobody expects the sackâ€" ing of Sir Bernard to end the saga of the Dockers. Even British _ Communists have cause to be grateful to Norah Docker. Everytime she boasts she spends $60,000 a year on clothes they sign up new reâ€" cruits. For the preparation of redâ€" dishâ€"coloured drinks cochincal is looked at askance, and some kind of red cordial is the usual subâ€" stitute. Champagne is, when presented to the theatre by the importers, â€" champagne, though not necessarily the best quality. Otherwise itâ€"has a way of being cider or some other fruit drink, and many are the devices in use offâ€"stage to make a convincing report when the cork is drawn from the same bottle for the third or fourth time. Tea, for which foreign hotels have a hunâ€" dred cunning substitutes, on the English stage is considered iniâ€" mitable, and tea is what the acâ€" tors drink when you think you sce them drinking tea. !

For instance, most peoâ€" ple believe they should water their lawns in the evening. That‘s not correct. After the sun has gone down, water isn‘t as quickly evaporated or absorbed into the soil; it tends to sit around in puddles and is one of the chief causes of brown patâ€" ‘ches on the lawn. Experts say you should water the lawn first thing in the morning. Then the water can evaporate or soak in before the heat of the day. But ';'xf you‘re like most people, you have other things to do at that Etim--, so the next best thing is ito set the sprinkler out before breakfest and give at least one areg a good soaking each morâ€" ‘ninz:_ Leave the water turned on long enough to penetrate six ‘inches into the ground:; That‘s |how decply roots should be anâ€" ‘chored for a healthy lawn.
