Working Glamor Boy Sells v. 5. on Films
BY GERRY DICK

NEA Service Stan Correspondent
 Washington, Nov. 24.-Hjalmar Johan Procope, minister to the United States from Finland, is one diplomat who doesn't live up to his billing.
 He Is commonly called the capi- tals number one glamor boy. He does look the part--tall, well pro- portioned, with brown hair and nice blue eyes--but he doesn't act 1t.
 Instead of playing, he works at his job of selling the United States on Finland. You don't find him at very many fiossy dinners or en- tertainments, but you can very often find him in his study, after midnight, finishing the days job.
 He has spent 20-odd years as a diplomat and world traveller, but he never acts bored and he insists "f have no use for intrigue" The only thing that irritates him is inactivity, of which he gets very little. EXPERT IN
 CAPTIVATING
 When you talk to him he seems to bubble over with energy--talks rap- Idly. smokes one cigaret after an- other, moves about continuously, and smilingly explains, T have very good nerves"
 Probably he has too. He has developed the knack of being able to- take little cat-naps during the day whenever he chooses (and has | few spare minutes).
 So. although he seldom disposes of the last odds and ends of his job until midnight, and almost always follows that by sitting up for an hour or two longer reading history, he always seems fresh and rested.
 The. same doesn't hold for his stan. though: when he leaves Washington for some other part of the country, the staff is generally ready for @ day in bed.
 DIPLOMATIC
 MENU PLANNER
 It's the usual thing for a man who runs his house through hos- tess and has more important things to do, to turn over a lot of the re- sponsibility for entertaining to his servants.
 But Bachelor Procope knows how to select wines and plan menus for a dinner party and

finished
Embroidery, except on lingerie, is
to be avoided because it has home
made look.
When it is machine work, loose
ends pull out and look messy.
Even when it is handwork it is
rarely chic. So don't choose this
method Of going exotic.

than smart.
Lingerie
Problems.
AS long as this chapter is degen-
Grating into list of pet peeves,
we'd like to add few about lingerie.
Flesh and tearose underthings are
practical because they don't yellow
with laundering. incidentally the
darker their lace the more exclusive
they look)
But if you wear a thin or knitted
wool dress, a pink slip Is certain to
show through.
Black, in that case, is preferable,
obviously.
Again, if you wear a thin white
summer frock or a thin lingerie
blouse, the sight of a pink slip be-
meath completely destroys the effect.
So white lingerie has an impor-
tant place in your wardrobe.
Or, under a knitted string dress,
you will want neutral pongee slip
All this rambling shows plainly
that there are no definite rules for
distinction.
In each case, it means working
out new problem.
While, In general, 1t is true that
expensive things are more distin-
guished because fewer people can
afford them, there are plenty of
cliches in the higher price brackets,
too.
So take heart. Distinction is
where you find it. The trick is to
be able to recognize it.
1t may be found in an entirely
new fashion or in a general fashion
that has been given some new twist
which makes it different from the
general crush.
It also means refraining from the
weird and outre which Is different
all right but not at all smart.
And it means avoiding common
but inexcusable errors.
This very avoidance Of pitfalls is
50 rare that 1t is in itself a most
enviable distinction.

BY HELEN VOGT.

One thing is certain-there' never
a dull moment in the world of
beauty. 1t seems as though every
few days some new and useful prod
uct is introduced to a world of in
tereSted women, all Of whom are
still willing and eager to find a sure
and simple way to loveliness.
However, we are happy to report
that the most interesting news of
the week is dedicated not to the
ladies, but to the youngsters. Time
was, you know, when soap and water
was considered sufficient beauty
treatment for young girls, but today
the outlook is a different one, Der
matologists have realized that ado
lescent boys and girls are just as
deserving and in need of fine prod
ucts as their elders-and have pro-
ceeded to do something about it.
Last week new assortment of
beauty aids for the young skin was
introduced in Washington. Made
by we'll known beauty firm, this
line stresses, above all else. cleanli-
ness, believing that a clean skin in
youth is the basis for a lovely COM
plexion throughout life.
The creator of these products has
made thorough study of the ado
lescent skin and they are said to be
perfect for the sensitive-and often
not too good-skins of youngsters.
There are large number of items
In the line, but most outstanding
are the liquid facial soap, soft but
sturdy complexion brush with which
to apply it, and a fluffy cleansing
cream that is said not to dry out
the natural oils of the skin.
This is an idea we have long IA
vored, for teen-agers are too often
self-conscious and sensitive about
their faces. Unfortunately, too, many
compilations have been marred per-
manently by carelessness in youth,
and we'd very much like to think
that this may help to avoid a great
deal Of unpleasantness. incidentally,
the young gents" are not forgotten,
but are we'll represented by speci-
ally prepared shaving cream and
after shave lotion-both of which
should be helpful to youthful skins.
Floral perfumes
Are Lovely.
Since spring has made It's long
awaited entrance, our thoughts are
inclined to turn to suitable perfumes
to wear with warm weather clothes.
Certainly nothing is more appropri-
ate than floral fragrance, and there
are so many enchanting ones to be
found that it sometimes proves diff
ficult to make a choice.
