Introducing Betty Ingles Davis
war-wife, mother and worker.
A woman who is meeting the
same problems millions of others
have met-and meeting them in
way that can give you a few
tips.
When Bernard Davis went to
war and his family's income was
more than cut in two, Betty Davis
gave up their seven-room house in
New York's suburbs and moved
into a four-room apartment in
jackson Heights. She has kept her
own job as case worker in the
Community Service Society and
cares for Johnny (who is almost
four), while she awaits the birth
of another baby in January.
Betty Davis is a daughter of the
South - tall, dark-eyed, soft-voic-
ed. She was graduated from Hol-
Inns College Wirginia) and took
her Masters Degree in Social
Science at William and Mary. In
1895, while she was doing social
service work in Baltimore she
was married to Bernard Davis,
who left his job as personnel di-
rector wifi he New York State
Employment Service to enter the
Technical Training Division of the
Army Air Corps at Miami Beach.
That left Mrs. Davis alone to
run the household. But don't pic
ture her as a worried, nervous
war-wife. She sits quietly, talks
gently, seasoning her words with
warm, wide smile. (Only her
dark eyes hold hint of stress).
"It's difficult adjustment to
make - and it doesn't get any
easier,'' she says. But I've Just
accepted the fact that it's part of
the times and 1 have to adjust to
it.
The job helps, of course. First,
it keeps me busy. And then in my
work I come in contact with many
people who are in difficulty. I have
heard the stories of so many wo-
men worse off than I am that I
don't seem to be having a bad
time.
'Their greatest difficulty is eco
nomic - the problem of provid-
ing and caring for the children.
Mrs. Davis solved her child
care problem like this: She gets
breakfast herself while Johnny
careens around on his tricycle..
During the morning she leaves him
in nursery school. The colored

swirl, some puff or curl of vour
own arrangement that seems
more becoming to you than just
a ring of loose curls.
Then consult your hairdresser
about your idea. One good basic
hairdo, which you have helped
adapt to your own features and
taste, will do a lot for your NOR
ale and for the now-closely fig
ured schedule for your toilette.
Beauty Is Health
One thing which most home
course experts stress now as never
tefore; beauty is health. There
fore the first thing to be done by
woman who really wants to be
efficient in personal care is to
check her habits of living against
her knowledge of physiology and
hygiene.
That applies, first of all, to
eating and sleeping, particularly
eating balanced, healthful food,
and sleeping enough to ward off
that always-tired feeling which
very often signalizes nervous,
beauty-breaking living habits.

CANNOT BE DECIDED

MONTREAL, Nov. 16.-RHJus-
tice Alfred Forest ruled in Suer-
ior court today that separation
action filed by Mrs. Clyde Pang-
born against her aviator-husband
could not be decided in Montreal
courts because Pangborn's legal
domicile was at Wenatchee, Wash.
The justice said that although
Pangborn had lived here for the
past two years while serving with
the Royal Air Force Ferry COM
mand, courts here lacked jurisdic-
ton over a separation action.
Mrs. Pangborn filed her separa-
ton suit on October 81.

maid she has had for years cares
for him in the afternoon and gets
dinner. Then Mrs. Davis takes
Johnny in charge for story hour
before he goes to bed.
Johnny has had some wartime
adjustment problems, too. It was
not fun to leave his friends and
yard in the country for a small
apartment in town. He misses his
father, too.
Most of Mrs. Davis letters to
her husband are written on the
subway - she carries pad and
pencil in her bag and writes 60
ing to and from work.
The blues? 1 just won't have
them," she says. II think the Sc
cret of avoiding them is to keep
busy, to keep Interested in peo-
pie and to have people around.
And this is tip to all war
wives"

Officers Wife Defends Women
Who Follow Husbands To Camp
BY RUTH MILLETT

49, oAAoWSl w d ICSSIIC Column
discussing whether or not Army Of
ficers' wives should accompany
their husbands to new posts, comes
this reply from a captains wife:
'You suggest that Uncle Sam,
by no longer looking after the
household goods, housing transpor-
tation for Army families, etc., is
limiting that he no longer wants us
to follow our husbands.
isn't it rather a case of first
things first? With the big job of
housing, feeding, transporting, hos
pitalizing his soldiers, there is
simply nothing left over for the
families.
I'VE know that and we ask no
consideration. We pay higher pric-
es. Rents ere often doubled by ci-
william owners when a camp is
built nearby. We pay our own
transportation We gladly put up
with downright hardships, because
we know we are wanted-by our
husbands.
DAYS TO REMEMBER
For they know all too well that
these are the last few months
they will have to watch their chill
dren playing. These are the last
evenings with their favorite des-
sert for supper, their favorite ra-
Iio proor,,,,c Tboeo ,ra tbo ox,o
nings that must make up for the
days to come-the foxholes, and
bombings before them.
''You suggest that an officer
whose family is with him may not
give all his attention to his job
because of family demands and
worries. Don't you suppose that
we, more than others, know that
these are not times for business or
homes IS us'~l? We do not let our
husbands shoulder family worries.
We know how important their
training is. All we ask and all we
get are our evenings off.
"You can see the men whose
families are not with them. They
spend their time wandering aim
lessly aound the steets of al
strange town, looking in the shop
windows. Then maybe few beers
or second rate show. If soldier
is lucky he can go to the U. S.
o. where he sees more soldiers.
But one camp we were in was 40
miles from a town of any size.
There was nothing there for men
whose families were not with them
but wandering around the muddy
village streets, lonesome and bor-
ed.
''Yo uknow one of the things our
men are fighting is this idea of
Hitler's that family is something
to be broken up for more stream
lined results for the good of the
state. But we like our way bet
ter"
That is how one wife who in
tends to follow her husband as
long as possible feels about it.
She has stated her case well, has
she not? Now let's have a letter
from wife who has decided not
to follow her husband, stating the
case for the stay-at-home wives.
There must be some points on their
side, too.
