Career Girls
Budget Time
For Beauty
Many a Housewife
| Gould Profit by
Their Example
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Surprising as 1t may seem, some
Of our most chic beauties are busi-
nesswomen. You see them lunching
and dining at the smart places,
walking up the avenues, or in finan-
cial downtown-their trim figures
becomingly and fashionably clothed
and so perfectly groomed that one
may we'll wonder, How do they do
it?"
You and I know that earning a
living or making a success out of
career is no cinch. Many hours
are required for the job and the
few leisure hours are definitely
needed for rest and recreation, as
all work and no play soon makes
any girl dull and irritable. And
Americas businessgirls are far from
dull, for they feel part of their
success depends upon keeping up"
with things generally.
Actually these numerous women
and girls belong to what I call the
tme-budget group who cleverly
budget their hours to include busi-
ness, their homes, recreation and
beauty care. They make every min
ute count and many a self-pitying
housewife, who gripes about her
numerous duties, could learn les
son from one of these careerists!
Despite their time clock demands,
these women keep themselves very
attractive. They know that caring
for their beauty is as important as
getting their laundry out weekly or
being on time for the Job! Even
though the majority of them spend
eight hours in toll, they see to it
that few moments each day, and
couple of hours weekly are devoted
to personal grooming. And that is
where, AS a group, they have one
up on the American housewives!
Near at hand in their Offices, or
other business quarters. they keep
manicuring aids, cosmetics for skin
care, makeup and sewing materials.
The smartest and the most success
full of them believe ardently in "a
stitch in time saves nine" Whether
that stitch is in falling hem or
slip strap or. symbolically. in the
retouching of nail polish and the
refreshening of their faces! They
do not procrastinate as the house.
wife is likely to do-when grooming
needs repair the businesswoman re-
pairs it!
They have also discovered that
a couple of hours weekly in the
hands Of professional beauticians
is a great help. They have facial,
their hair done and a manicure
while it is drying. Each patronizes
a salon within her means and steps
out of it with her foundation groom
ing completed for the week. Quite
naturally she is poised and attrac-
tive!
Many "dowdy Mrs. Jones" house
wife could follow the example Of
these job holders And by intelli-
gent planning of her duties could
allow herself enough time and money
to keep lovely looking. It is Just
as easy for the housewife to meet
friend husband with her beauty re-
touched and glowing as it is for the
businessgirl to leave her office at the
end of the day looking as If she
hadn't given quite her all for the
success of the career! And house.
wife is entitled to as much beauty
as any woman in business!

give the manicure Just introduced
to Washington. The new treatment
consists of putting one hand in a
thick, creamy liquid while work is
being done on the other. The LIQUID
is used in place of warm, soapy
water and is automatically heated
right on the manicure table. They
say that 1t does wonders to prevent
nails from splitting-and your fin
gertips feel soft and smooth at the
finish OF the process. Given once a
week, we understand that this spe-
cial formula is an invaluable aid.
What with this rage for winter
sports it's no wonder the poor girls
are looking for skin protectors. One
that has been extensively used
abroad is now being introduced to
the sport fans in this country. It
comes in a tube gayly decorated
with skis and is colorless, non
sticky and of light consistency.
Spread over your face it is said to
protect the skin from the burning
rays OF the sun as we'll as to keep
1t moist and free from chapping.
For active sports the manufacturer
recommends that you use it without
powder to give you that fashionable,
shiny look; for spectator. sports use
1t as foundation for your powder.
At any rate, it should be helpful in
defying the harsh northern climes.
Eye Shadow In
Stick Form.
Speaking Of that shiny look
brings us to the newest idea in eye
shadow. This item comes in
stick that looks like your lipstick,
and the beauty of it is that you
can apply it deftly and easily with
out soiling your fingers. 1t comes
IN six colors and is particularly
practical for the business girl, who
must carry all her beauty aids for
quick change after office. Don't
forget that the care of your eyes is
just as important as any part of
your routine-and this should help
to beautify them even more.
OF course, along the lines of BEAU
ty you're always interested in the
newest and smartest developments
in lipsticks. One of the latest Is
introduced in several new purplish
shades and comes in a most attrac-
tive case. 1t seems that this is
something new in color perfection,
and they tell us that no color looks
the same on any two women. And
in spite of all these qualities it is
surprisingly inexpensive.
And there is the report on several
new and efficient items. If YOU
don't take the proper care of your
beauty-well, you can't say we didn't
tell you.

Dorothy Dix Says
Every Parent Should Endeavor
To Remember Own Childhood

One of the strangest things ir
the world is how completely most
people forget their own youth and
what emotions and desires and
thoughts motivated them when they
were crossing the dangerous, treach-
erouS teen age. Some mysterious
power seems not only to wipe out
from their minds all memory of the
real kind of boy and girl they were
but also to enable them to see them
selves transfgured into adolescent
saints.
The middle-aged man was never
lazy, loafing lad who lodged every
task and whose sole ambition was to
have a jalopy with callow wittic-
isms painted all over it. He never
loathed study and thought school
was something left over from the
inquisition. He was never girl-crazy
and hung around some little curly
haired nitwit until her mother had
to sweep him out of the front door
He was never rubber stamp who
would rather have died than not
to have gone without a hat, and
worn sloppy socks, and risked pneu-
monia by going without an overcoat
in cold weather, and talked and ate
in a strange, uncouth manner Just
because all the other boys did.
No, indeed. Every middle-aged
man will tell you-and he is par
ticularly forcible in telling his chill
dren about it-that he was always
industrious and never had to be
reminded twice of his household
chores; that he was model student
whose reports were the pride of his
parents; that he never wasted his
time and his money upon silly little
girls; that he was free and inde-
pendent soul who always did the
sane and sensible thing, uninflu-
enced by his companions.
And the middle-aged woman has
the same idealistic picture of her.
self as a girl. She was always
mothers little helper who dotted on
drying the dishes and taking the
baby out in his pram. She always
felt that mother knew best and was
satisfied with the practical clothes
mother bought for her, instead Of
weeping for the foolish f1nery that
some other girl had. She preferred
to go to the movies with mother
and father rather than that freckle-
faced Jones boy. She would have
died before she would have let a
boy kiss her.
This form of amnesia, which is
virtually epidemic among parents
and which wipes out all memory Of
their own youth, is most unfortunate
because it prevents them from deal
ing with sympathy and understand
ing with their own children. They
lack the wisdom that comes out Of
the memories of common expert
encies, the patience that comes Of
having found out that % many

such attention!
Mr.. A. D.-of Chevy Chase would
like to know If I can find for him
the recipe for dish he encountered
a few years ago while living in
Rumania. Here is the way he de-
scribes 1t:
1T was served at luncheon, and
was accompanied by rather un-
usual salad of lettuce and celery,
tossed in a sharp French dressing
The dish itself consisted Of cucum-
bers, cut in half, and stuffed with
some kind of ground meat; then
cooked in some way so that the
cucumbers remained very moist.
The sauce served with them was a
dream-I couldn't even begin to
describe 1t. but perhaps you. as an
epicure (again am f1atteredD
would know what the correct sauce
for such dish would be.
II can remember that my hostess
told me the dish was very simple to
make, and would like to try and
explain it to my new cook, who
seems interested in undertaking
new recipes and menus"
Very well, Mr.. D.-here. I think.

It's fancy name is "concombres far

"CUCUMBERS STUFFED WITH

cut them in half crosswise. Remove
fbers and seeds, and stand shell In
iced salted water for 80 minutes.
Drain them we'll, wipe them dry
Stuff them with cooked veal, ground
fine, and mixed with little minced
onion, salt, pepper, and few drops

things are just phases of develop
ment and that will settle themselves
If only given time.
1t would save fathers and mothers
lots OF sleepless nights, worrying over
what's to become of Ben and Sally.
if they could recall that when they
were Ben's and Sally's age they
danced and kissed and made love
and played around and did all of
the things they think are so foolish
and dangerous for their own chill
dren to do, yet they turned out pretty
good citizens after all.
But the tragic thing about this in
ability of parents to remember their
own youth is that it makes it impos-
sible for them to help their children
at the time when they most need
help and guidance. It raises a bar
between them that the youngsters
cannot surmount. For how can Tom
tell a father, who was always wise
and strong and a model of conduct
even in his youth, about the mess he
has got into with some wild youths?
How can Sadie tell mother, who al
ways sat across the room when boys
came to see her and talked about
Shakespeare and the musical glasses,
about letting boy kiss her and how
thrilled she was?
But far otherwise would it be if
father and mother remembered their
own youth in dealing with their chill
dren and father could tell Tom how
he, too, had stumbled and fallen and
how to watch out for the pitfalls,
and mother could talk as girl to girl
with Sadie and teach her how to
walk discreetly and keep her skirts
clean.
We talk about the new youth.
There is none. Youth Is eternally
the same. Only some Of us forget
what it was like in our day.

Nye Believes Wars
Duration Is Dependent
On Neutrality Vote
Declares u. S. Stond
Will Determine Short
Or Long Conflict

On the outcome Of the Senate
vote on repeal Of the arms embargo
may hang 4 decision as to whether
there Is to be prolonged European
war or whether there will be an ap-
proximately early peace between
Great Britain and France and Ger
many, In the opinion Of Senator
Nye, Republican, Of North Dakota,
an opponent Of repeal.
Senator Nye said today:
IT Great Britain and France are
assured they will have the aid of
the United States in continuing this
war, the war undoubtedly will con-
tinue. On the other hand, If they
are given no such assurance, 1t may
well be that peace in Euorpe may
be made. Already Italy has pro-
posed to the warning nations q ces-
sation Of hostilities.
If the Senate votes repeal Of the
present arms embargo, 1t will be
considered as meaning that this
country intends to help France and
England. In my opinion, the sale
Of arms and munitions to them
will be only first STEP.
Certainly, this theory Of what
may come to pass Is as sound, and
probably far sounder, than the
theory advanced by those who favor
repeal Of the arms embargo-that
Hitler will be so alarmed by this
aid from America to France and
England that he will consider
peace move, or that such aid will
make certain a victory on the part
of France and England on the field.
For the reasons I have given,
the Senate vote on arms embargo
repeal will be momentous."
