Uncle!

In a weekly column every Saturday, Publisher Dorothy ("Dolly") Schiff, 50, of the Fair Dealing New York Post (circ. 390,000), treats her readers to a breathlessly uninhibited account of how she has spent her time. Last week Publisher Schiff took her readers out to California. "In my last letter," wrote she, "I told you I was on my way to Los Angeles to spend my vacation with [my] grandchildren. And I promised to tell you about my adventures in Hollywood upon my return . . . When I wrote this I really had not expected to have anything special to report except possibly a meeting with a movie star or two . . . But something I had not anticipated happened. I got married!*

"In case you missed the item when it was printed ... the name of the (I hope) lucky man is Rudolph G. Sonneborn . . . He is tall, grey-haired and very handsome, with a beautiful speaking voice. More important, he has a wonderfully kind disposition, and is well known as a leader in humanitarian causes ... To top it all, although the head of a large oil-refining and chemical business and a director of a bank, Rudolph is a liberal Democrat! My husband ... is very modern in his attitude toward careers for women ... He reads the New York Post avidly, and considers its continuance as the city's only crusading liberal newspaper of such vital importance that he is willing to have his wife retain her maiden name professionally and to continue to devote the major portion of her time to its publication.

"My husband has no children, therefore no grandchildren of his own. I think one of the reasons he married me was on account of the babies, who adore him . . . But there is one thing he can't take. He doesn't like 'Grandpa.' I guess that sort of thing has to creep up on one ... So the issue has been settled by their using the less traumatic salutation: 'Uncle.' "

* Her fourth marriage. The first three, to Richard B. W. Hall, George Backer and Ted Thackrey, ended in divorce.
