Wonan's Job
To Keep Up
Morale
Looking Your Best
More Important
Now Than Ever
Bv Patricia Lindsay

Our country has been at war for
three weeks. This actuality brings
the women OF America into a most
responsible position. No longer can
we let trivialities fill our lives. No
longer can we pursue selfish inter-
ests even though they may be very
amusing and somewhat helpful. Our
duty clearly lies in spending every
effort to keep up the country's
morale, such as our foreign sisters
have had to do in the countries
which are our allies.
This duty begins in the home
and in our place of business. II
each woman embraces her response
bility at home or while doing her
lob. the country's morale will be
cared for.
After the first shock, 1t becomes
evident that life must 60 on, and
that means the humdrum routine
of daily life with which you might
be bored. Children have to be fed
housework must be done. industry
must carry on in fuller force than
ever before. Young minds must be
put at ease regarding the new wal
measures which they naturally dc
not understand. If mother Is not
frightened, Junior will not be. II
mother looks bright and Cheerful
and pretty, the children OF the
household, and the man Of the
home, will keep their perspective.
the more easily.
Being a beauty editor I am natu-
rally interested in the part beauty
plays in this serious situation In
which we find ourselves.
Women know that If they look
well, and are nicely groomed, they
feel well and are the more capable
to do what they must do. This holds
true tn time of war as well as IN
peace. If you will keep yourself
looking your best, you will not only
be more efficient but you will inspire
and console any distressed person
who may be In your company.
To keep beautiful does not mean
that you must invest lot of money
in new cosmetics, nor does 1t mean
that you should devote a lot OF
time to primping. In the first place,
you must conserve your cosmetics
for they will become more scarce
and more expensive as time goes on
And if you are doing your duty for
your home and your country there
will be few leisure hours for expert
menting with beauty. Your thorough
grooming routine must continue
daily, and your weekly visit to the
hairdresser and manicurist is quite
likely to be necessary. or time out
| for washing your hair and manicur-
ing your nails at home must be
taken.
But more important than youl
grooming schedule is the sweeping
of your mind so 1t may be clear anC
decisive. You know what you viii
have to do and you must keep your.
self fit to do it. Any task done will
ingly and cheerfully becomes a JOY

Cinnamon Crisps Are
Mighty Good With
Holiday Drinks

When you ring out the old and
ring in the new" we suggest that
you bring tray of these new cinna-
mon crisps to the refreshment table.
They look partifled and taste good,
too as they are rich with cinnamon,
sugar and butter. Tasty little NOR

right to serve with holiday beverages.
We warn you, though. to have plenty
of these delectable waters. for your
guests will take many moro than

The recipe for cinnamon crisps Is
a very simple one and can be made
in a jif1y. They are made from a
basic pastry dough which Is rolled
very thin, brushed with melted but-
ter and sprinkled with cinnamon
and sugar. Their one half Of the
dough is folded over the other hah
and covered with the topping. With
| cookie cutters the pastry is cut In
fancy shapes and baked In a hot
oven. OF course. cinnamon crlsps
are grand with salads. too, and can
be served either hot or cold.

Connubial love does not thrive
on the hells brew Of which jealousy
is composed. and all that the wife
does who flirts with other men is
to lose her husbands respect as
we'll as his affection and land her
self in the divorce court.
Before marriage the man should
do the courting because it nourishes
his illusion that he is the pursuer
and not the pursued. Nothing
makes one lose interest in a girl so
quickly as for her to turn wooer
and let him see that she is hot on
his trail.
So q girl should never wear her
heart on her sleeve before MARRIAGE
or let a man know how much she
really cares for him. Every vamps
foxiest play Is to make the man be-
lieve he Is teaching her how to love
him. But after marriage the roles
are reversed and 1t Is up to the
wife to turn lover and do the court

@. am planning party to which
I wish to invite the girls and have
them bring their own escorts. How
can I write the invitations so they'll
understand they are not to come
unless they have escorts? PEGGY.
A. We don't see any way that you
can issue such q conditional 1nvi-
tation without being rude. How
ever, you naturally don't want to
end up with lot Of extra girls"
at the party. We suggest, therefore,
that you either telephone the invi-
tations, or supplement your written
invitations with telephone calls, ex-
planning that you wish to know as
soon as possible how many girls will
be bringing boys. You can then
arrange to invite extra boys yourself
to take care Of the unescorted girls.
q. Some time ago was asked by
. group Of girls TO join club which
they were forming. I did, but now
after . few weeks I find myself feel
ing very uncomfortable. Most Of the
girls are very nice. but the ones
that asked me to join have suddenly
become very cold and act as though
they did not wish to speak to me
1 can't understand their actions, and
wonder II I should continue in the
club or resign from 1t.
MARTHA.
A. We think you should first ex-
anime your own conduct since you
Joined the club, in an effort to dis
cover why the attitude Of these girl!
has changed. If you think you are
in any way responsible, you will nat
urally take steps to correct your &C.
tions.
However, II you feel yourself
blameless, we suggest that you take
no notice Of their attitude. mean
while cultivating your friendships
with the other members. 1t may bt
that this is q temporary thing ano
that the girls will warm up later.
If this doesn't work, and you still
feel mot wanted" you can always
resign. But don't be in g. hurry. It's
just possible that you have been
misinterpreting or merely imagining
/ their cold attitude.

Why
Grow Old?
By Josephine Lowm0n

y
Old thoughts to take into the new
year!
Seneca, the Roman philosopher.
said, Enjoy your present pleasures
so as not to injure those that are to
follow"
In these days of comparative COM
fort and luxury, when so many peo-
pie have cars, radios, central heat
ing, and overstuffed chairs, when
diet is heavily spotted with cured
meats, refined sugar, highly seasoned
foods, and polished rice. it might be
valuable to take this admonition OF
Seneca to heart.
II we enjoy our luxuries to the
detriment Of health so that the fu-
ture will rob us of all enjoyment,
II we ride every place and never
walk, If we listen to the ready
made entertainment of the radio to
the exclusion of creative thought and
reading. If we eat so many rich, de-
vitalized foods that We forget the
lowly carrot, fresh fruit and vege-
tables, We may live to regret it.
If we become soft and have life
fed to us in painless little doses,
forgetting that the vigor of mind
and body, plus the experience OF
many years living can bring us the
richest rewards of existence, we are
selling ourselves short!
We can have our splurges into
luxury and rich food II We will re-
member that the long walk renews
health, that an hour with the great
thinkers of the past can renew the
spirit, and that the foods which
build optimum health are simple
foods.
I write with the sincere convic-
widely known present day scientists,
that men and women need regu-
lar daily session with exercise, and
that If they held this session regu-
larly many of their petty ailments
would disappear.
Here is a new exercise for the new
year. Stand tall. Bend both knees.

Straighten the knees as the arms
return to the sides and heels TO the
