Acquire Self-Treatment Beauty Hints
From Professionals on Routine Visit
By ALICIA HART
In many towns you often have
to make beauty shop appointments
several days in advance during
these times, and there are at least
two good readons for that. One is,
although Uncle Sam is seeing to it
that there are enough of the basic
beauty aids to go around, equip
ment for the shops is not so plenti
ful as before the war, and expert
operators are fewer. Two, profes
sional beauty care is one of the
very first things that women buy
when they can afford it and busi
ness is booming.
Your beauty cue from all that
should be clear: this is a time to
get professional attention—and
learn from it. The deft fingers of
the expert who gives you a facial
massage or even a shampoo, con
tribute both to your looks and to
your vigor. If you doubt it, just
get good and tired, then turn your
self over to an operator for a skill
ful going over, and notice how
her treatment of the back of your
neck and shoulders relaxes and
refreshes you.
However, notice also how she
works, and do a little efficient self
service between your visits to the
beauty shop. For instance, for
fatigue, you can easily massage
your neck and shoulders.
Sit comfortably in a straight
chair with eyes closed, then drop
your head forward as far as pos
sible. Now place hands on shoul
ders, right hand on right shoulder,
and grip the muscles About your
shftulder blades. Take a good
grip, squeeze the tissue, aad work
from the outer edges in, then up
your neck to your ears. Relax,
and roll your head slowly over
your left shoulder, back, and
around to the right and forward.
Repeat the massage and the “head
roll” several times. You will find
this invigorating. Such little quick
tricks are much more important
nowadays than they seemed a few
years ago; they pay in beauty and
energy.___
War Restricts But Doesn’t
Simplify American Tastes
- *
BY RUTH MILLETT
Every once in a while in con
versation someone wonders out
loud if wartime restrictions and
scarcities will have a permanent
effect on the |
American peo- j
pie.
Will Americans
keep on walk
ing, once they
can use thier au
tomob iles as
much as they
like? Win they g
be less prone to I
speed now that |
they have learn- §
ed they can get |
where they are ■
going at 35 miles
an hour? Will
Ruth Millett
they be thriftier spenders' _ win
they be less dependent than in the
past on gadgets and luxuries?
In short they will hang onto some
of the ways of wartime living—
or will they go right on back to
the kind of lives they led before the
warif they are given a chance?
Well, it seems as though that
question may have been answer
ed the other day When the ban
on bread siicing was lifted.
You didn’t hear anybody saying
that they guessed they would go on
slicing their own bread, since they
had begun to get used to the
idea.
No, everybody was tickled to
death to think that here was one
wartime restriction lifted. Triv
ial a one as it was, the people
were delighted not have to put
up with it any longer, but to go
back to the easy days of pre-slic
cd bread.
LUXURY AS USUAL
Won’t it be that way with
everything? When the war is
over won’t we revel in having
things easy again—providing, of
course, we are given the chance?
Sure, we will. We’ll cash in our
war bonds, buy new cars and step
on the gas. And we’ll delight in
having the luxuries of living once
again.
We can go back to the horse
and buggy days and live without
don’t like it. We prefer to have
luxuries if we have to. But we
are living easy and unrestricted.
But what is the harm in that?
If we win the right to an easier
lift — we might as well enjoy it
lo the utmost.
But right now, that is all just
pleasant day-dreaming. For we
laven’t yet won the right.

Educate the Family
In War Food Habits
BY MRS. GAYNOR MADUUA.
When the family gathers at Sun
day dinner, remind them that the
wartime food they are about to
eat will do them more good if
they enjoy it. Tell them that they
need not starve to death but that
they may almost starve on their
prejudices. If hey won’t change
some of their “set” food habits,
then they will lower their nutri
tional standards during the war,
and also materially impair their
health and their working strength.
It’s one thing for a man to boast
in peacetime that he would never
eat tripe, brains, kidneys, or any
of the other highly delicious and
nutritionally important meat spe
cialties which are not limited. But
in wartime, when it is his patriotic
luty to his country and his family
:o keep his health, then such a
boast is almost minor treason.
Cocks Go to School
Of course, part of the story lies
with the cook. It is just as much
ner duty to learn to cook the
available and often unfamiliar
Eoods well as it is the duty of the
Eamily to eat every forkful. That’s
why she should attend some course
n wartime cooking. You’ll find
hem in every community. Most
if them are free.
The time has passed—with the
ild days of peace—when it was
mough for a woman to have a few
standard recipes and a desire to
:eed her family well. Today, it is
mpossibie to keep her family well
:ed with rationing, limited sup
plies and other conditions unless
she has the scientific guidance of
experts, newspapers give this
guidance in their daily columns.
Study them and then plan your
meals. Buy new cook books based
in wartime conditions, AND at
tend some school where modern
nutrition and marketing under
wartime conditions are taught.
Tell your family that you are
ioing youi best to feed them well
under prevailing conditions. Then
they will be more eager to do
their part by learning to like what
you cook and forgetting their old
time prejudices.
SUNDAY’S MENU
BREAKFAST: Orange and

From Desk To Date
By BETTY CLARKE
Dear Working Girls:
A hard day at the office is bound
to come occasionally. And usually
when you have big plans for the
evening. That’s why it’s smart to
be prepared for a 15-minute re
juvenation at the office just in
case there isn’t time to dash home
before your date. To remove the
traces of a long, trying day and
look fresh and ready for fun takes
know-how and the right tools.
There’s no harm in having your
beauty tools tucked away in a
drawer, provided you don’t use
the top of your desk for a dressing
table or office time for beauty
time. The best solution is an
emergency kit filled with the es
sentials for good grooming. It
should include needles and thread,
a tiny sponge for dusty suede
shoes, a small clothes brush, an
extra pair bf stockings, a clean
hanky, and of course your makeup
needs. (You can fill small cream
jars from your big, economy sizes
at home as a penny-saver.)
Equipped like this, you can go
through practically all the beauty
tricks you would normally do at
home. Your first step is to cleanse
your face thoroughly. It’s relax
ing, and besides there’s trouble
ahead if you try to put fresh
makeup cn a dirty face. To re
fresh yourself, take time for a
quick facial mask at this point'.
A thick layer of vanishing cream
spread on face and throat will
PERK UP with fresh make-up
perk you up in one minute flat.
Then tissue most of it off, leaving
a tiny bit of the cream as a foun
dation or your makeup.
There’s an art in applying eve
ning makeup, and you can take
a few liberties you might not both
er with for your office face. Eye
makeup, for example, brightens up
a tired face like nothing else
Apply eyeshadow lightly to the up
per lids. Blending rouge from the
cheekbone to the outer corner of
the lower eyelid dims out fatigue
circles.
Add Points And Plan Meat Meals
In Advance; Here’s A Sample
By BETTY MacDONALD
WASHINGTON, March 25—Com
pared with the canned goods pro
gram, housewives will discover the
meat, fats, fish and cheese points
liberal and ample. Each house
hold member receives 16 points,
so the ration problem will be fair
ly simple.
Here s a model menu for the
week, designed to use advantage
ously all 64 points on a four-per
son family ration book.
SUNDAY: Mrs. America might
plan her week’s big meal around
a six-pound roast of lamb 24
points). She’ll be splurging, but
there’ll probably be enough left
over for later on in the week.
MONDAY: An economical meal
is a couple of pounds of stuffed
hearts, using up six points. If
hearts don’t appeal, try brains,
at the same point value, or pigs’
feet.
TUESDAY: Cut up remains of
Sunday’s lamb roast for a lamb
pie, which is a wonderful war
time meal, involving plenty of car
rots, parsley, onions, potatoes,
peeled thin for the best rVitrient i
value and vegetable juices.
WEDNESDAY: An egg souffle,
perhaps varied as a spinach souf
fle, makes a good main dish.
Eggs are plentiful and contain al
most the same protein content as
meat. In this way you save points
on Wednesday, hoarding for a
threat over Saturday.
THURSDAY: Heavy soups are
as nutritious as whole meats, if
properly prepared, so for a mere
one point, get a cracked soup bone
from the butcher, boil it for four
or five hours to get the marrow
and good out of it. Then add cab
bage, carrots, celery tops, pars
nips, potatoes, onions and other
odds and ends, including perhaps
that leg of lamb bone. This soup
with a heavy dessert, salad and
biscuits solves the meat problem
for Thursday.
FRIDAY: Traditional fish day,
is another ration-pointless day if
you buy fresh fish, which is plen
tiful now on most markets. Fig
ure on about 2 1-2 pounds, with
chowder in mind for leftovers.
SATURDAY: Treat the family
to two pounds of Swiss steak, or
any of the beef cuts in the 8-point
bracket. You can extend the meal
with heavy gravy and biscuits,
plenty of vegetables and potatoes.
Meanwhile, you plan on using
a pound of butter during the week,
at 8 points.
After everything has been to
taled (55 points) you discover you
have nine points left over, which
might be used for rind-on bacon
7 points) or cheeses for lunch
eons through the week. Tomales,
at 2 points, would be another
luncheon item. Lunches, mean
while, must be figured sparingly,
using plenty of salads, soups and
egg dishes.
