GETTING AROUND Continued from page 4
Mrs. Frank Terhune, who lives near Glendale, California, coined a new word when her son-in-law drew up at her door in a sporty new car. As she looked at it, complete even to a telephone, and saw the smile of satisfaction on the owner's face, she said: "You must be very statusfied." Prospective brides in Arapahoe County, Colorado, get a bonus when they steer their man to the county courthouse. After the couple buys a marriage license, the clerk gives the bride-to-be a gift box containing soap powder, a bottle of shampoo, a one-half pound can of coffee, a bottle of detergent, and a bottle of aspirin.

Four-year-old Debbie was visiting her grandmother in Oakwood, Ohio, when she spied some of Grandma's perfume on the dresser. She asked if she could use a little and promptly put a dab on the front of her dress. When Grandma suggested that next time she put it behind her ear, as it might spot her dress, Debbie protested, "But, Grandma, I want to smell it, not hear it!"
