Don't Fall in Love With the Boss
DAFFODILS in florists’ windows and
mildness in the air often make a girl
who works in an office feel a bit too ro
mantic for her own happiness. A flirta
tion with the boss may be thrilling, but
it usually puts the girl in an embarrassing
position—that is, back in an employment
agency looking for another job.
Bosses just don't marry their stenog
raphers, especially when they have a wife
and children and a social position in the
background.
“One wonders whether Mother Nature,
who makes the world kin emotionally,
may not have had a hand in the inven
tion of the typewriter, thereby bringing
pretty young things by the thousands into
the masculine world of trade and hence
into her age-old trap,” says Elizabeth
Gregg Mac Gibbon, recognized authority
on business etiquet. “But alas, ’ she adds,
“vamping the boss is the poorest way to
make a job permanent.”
Into her new book which is rich in wis
dom and humor for the office worker,
“Manners in Business” (MacMillan: $1.50),
Mrs. Mac Gibbon crowds advice and coun
sel on such questions as sex in business,
weddings—a timely subject—office emo
tional situations, getting a job, getting
along with the boss without trying to
marry him, and a valuable chapter on
what to wear in business.
So often we see otherwise sensible girls
pass up a good young fellow of their
own financial standing in hopes of later
on catching a rich and cultured husband.
• • • •
»ANY a girl lets the masculine con
lYl tacts in a business wreck her for
matrimony,” she writes. “If she works for
a man who lives in a manner far beyond
what she has known at home, she learns
his tastes through taking letters and at
tending to his personal errands. She calls
him at his club, hears him order his cus
tom-made suits, gets football and theater
tickets for him and sees what creature
comforts his wife and daughters enjoy.
“Gradually she sets her standard, and
she feels she could never marry a man
of less refined taste. It never dawns on
her ” Mrs. Mac Gibbon warns, “that 30
years earlier her employer did not own
a first edition or go South at the lust
drop of the thermometer.”
Better marry the fellow who under
stands your way of life and whose future
you can share with him, help bring to
success.
The office is a fine place for getting
pay checks, a bad place to look for a
husband. After all, typewriters won’t work
themselves. Isn't that what you get paid
for?
Make That Announcement Party a Festive Occasion
IF YOU are planning to give an an
nouncement party for a daughter, sis
ter or friend, make your arrangements a
full two weeks in advance. There are
many parties at this season, so send out
your invitations in time and plan the
form your announcement will take.
A tea or cocktail party is often the oc
casion for announcing a spring engage
ment. Use your best silver service, and
accompany the tea with simple but dainty
sandwiches and a dish of hors d’oeuvres.
If cocktails are served, pour them in the
kitchen and serve them from a tray.
When the guests are assembled, the host
ess should announce the engagement.
And now for the menu of that lunch
eon, always a matter of vital importance.
It must have grace, substance and some
By Mrs. Penrose Lyly
DOROTHY NYE is a widely known au
thority on corrective gymnastics.
She takes girls with bad posture and
tightened nerves and gives them the
works. Results —they feel better, look
better and their husbands are delighted.
I met Miss Nye last week sitting in a
zoo restaurant. She had just returned
from a strenuous trip through Europe,
where she studied gymnastic and exercise
methods in the leading foreign countries.
Tired, tense, worn out? Just the opposite,
just as relaxed, as strong, healthy, physi
cally happy as the seal before us and the
panthers moving in their outdoor cages.
And this is how she explains it:
“You see. I learned to relax years ago.
In trains, waiting, on boats, anywhere and
any time when I am not working. I just
go blah.’ Breaks tensions, refreshes the
body—and then the body doesn’t wear
out and the face doesn t knot up with
fatigue lines.’’ she says.
Grace and speed, poise and alertness
combine in her well-trained body. Women
look at her as they pass, men admire the
lean, athletic build of this noted teacher.
And she gave me, there in the zoo bet ore
the wild animals who also know how to
relax, a few hints for you.
“Begin your relaxation exercises on
your back in a room where you can be
alone. Quiet, light not too strong, and
a bed that is neither too hard nor too
soft are your requirements. A complete
stretch makes a good beginning.”
* * *
LIE FLAT ON BACK, arms stretched
toward ceiling or raised over hean.
Stretch the whole body, pushing the heels
downward and pulling head and shoul
ders upward from center.
Then, keeping the body stretched, twist
and turn as follows: Raise right hip while
shoulders remain flat. Then the left hip.
Next let hips remain flat and roll up and
over first the right shoulder and then the
left shoulder. Then relax all over.
Repeat each step of stretching and re
laxation three to five times.
The author of “New Bodies for Old,’
Internationally accredited adviser to tired
women, apostle of relaxation, has another
series for women in spring who seem all
keyed up after a long winter.
On knees, with arms raised above the
head, fingers extended, stretch upward,
using the whole body in the stretch. Re
lax in Sequence the fingers, wrists, elbows,
shoulders, neck, upper back, then let the
whole body drop forward onto the lolded
arms with every part completely relaxed,
especially the neck and shoulders. Stay
in this position a few seconds, then repeat
about five times.

ARTIST
A future artist displays the “tools
of her trade”—paint-smeared fingers.
SELF-EXPRESSION can free children
from their “|black spirits,” according
to modern child psychologists. Black
spirits are defined as moods of resent
ment or fear, justifiable or not, against
some circumstances or personality in the
child’s life.
Give that little fellow a set of modern
paints, a table and let him alone. He
will paint away his black inner dreads—
bring himself, through his creative ex
pression, back to a happy and normal
childhood mood. So speak *he psychol
ogists. very serious and respmsible ones,
and as they offer away to increase happi
ness in our land, they deserve attention.
Recently at Rockefeller Center in New
York, children from all parts of the
United States showed their finger paint
and frescol pictures. Grammar, high
school, parochial and private schools were
represented at this “Young America
Paints” exhibition, which is now travel
ing to many other cities.
Mane Falco, art director of Binney and
Smith, sponsors of this unusual exhibition,
says: “The mediums used are easy for
beginners to use and therefore they
break down the usual hindrance to self
expression, so often found to be the real
hurdle for youngsters. Frescol is a color
medium w’hieh does not require water, oil
or other liquid, and finger paint requires
nothing but the tips of the fingers.”
' pulverized, 2 cups thin cream, Vi cup
sugar, 2 teaspoons vanilla. Strawberries
and raspberry ice for garnish.
Add the pulverized macaroons to the
light cream and stand for one hour. Then
add sugar and vanilla. Place in freezer
and freeze to a mush. Remove from
freezer Beat the heavy cream until stiff
and add to other mixture. Pour into
ring mold. Cover carefully and seal with
fat to prevent any salt from getting in.
Pack in ice and salt in equal parts and
stand lor 3 1-3 hours.
Use perfect, ripe strawberries. Soak
them in curacoa. Unmold the mousse on
a handsome plate, fill the center with
the strawberries, and garnish the outside
with raspberry ice (better order this from
the confectioner). That’s a handsome
dish to set before the future bride and
her many friends.
