ever, insists that with Alice glamour
is job and not personality.
shes the intellectual type" said
Mrs. Dickey by way of explanation.
Alice, who is now Mrs. E. Austin
Thompson of Mount Vernon, N. Y,
believes glamour comes from within
and not from makeup, Mrs. Dickey
continued.
I've never seen her use mas
cara pencil" she declared, but per-
haps she does"
Mrs. Dickey also recalled that Alice
did not go out much when she was
in high school.
Il guess I was Victorian
mother" she admitted.
Mrs. Thompson has held a num-
Der of positions with WomenS maga-
zines before taking on Glamour, but
she has made no attempt to glamor-
ize her mother.
I'm just hopeless case" Mrs
Dickey said with laugh looking
pretty glamorous none the less in
