In the days before Hollywood mac
the word symbol of make-bclicve, it
would have been called glamour
Your average valley resident scoffs at
glamour these days. but whi,n he scofls
he lives in the midst Of a Nitchery
wrought by all the elements OF the past
and the present and the future
He has the unchanging, yet seemingly
ever changing desert for a playground,
and the mountain canopy behind the des-
ert.
He has the memory of fierce struggles
in the past to temper the enjoyment Of
today with a quiet thankfulnpss.
LIFE'S KEENER EDGE
He has the spirit of those Other tines,
50 recently passed into history, with
which he meets the pleasures and the
problems of the present, so that there
is a keener edge to what he does, whether
it is work or play.
The glamour of Imperial Valley is not
the manufactured glamour Of the moving
pictures, but the real glamour Of nature
herself, and the forces Of nature in titan
ic struggle to produce to move forward,
to give life the fullest zost il m contain.
On that scale, Imperial Valley plays.
IDEAL SITUATION
mere are lew PAGES II the UntGd
States SO ideally situated or as many
different kinds of diversion The val
ley lies like some Pagan gods emerald
gigantic eXpanse of green n 4 setting
of dulled silver. The green are the farms,
the tarnished silver is the desert that lies
on all sidcs-tamed now, and malleable
to mans desires, yet retaining enough of
its age-old grimness to give the Wayfarer
that tingle of excitement that only ad
venture can bring
The desert is not the grim, forbiddlng
place of desoaton visioned by so many
of the uniformed. 1t is a place of
strange beauty, of uneXpectcdness, Of
bossoming flowers in the Spring and
G0d-given warmth IN the Winter. Only
in the months of midsummer is it the
fearsome place imagined by the uninitat-
ed and then only to those who do not
know its whims.
DESERT IS ASSET
This desert is one Of Imperial Valleys
greatest recreatiOnal assets, for on it are
semi-preCious gems for the searching of
enthusiasts, and exciting places for pic
licking, and for outings of all kinds. TO
the horseman it is bridlepath without
boundaries, to the flower hunter it is
place of breath taking beauty, to the
camper it is rest and relaxation from
the hurly-burly of more crowded places.
Yet perhaps the greatest boon the deS-
ert gives Imperial Valley is one given by

To the resident, it may be that these

one thing: there is no season for them
There are simply - months in each

Dear Miss NOVEL;: I tried paint
ing some red mahogany stained
doors in my dining room which I
wanted to match my oyster-white
woodwork. I put on a printing coat
of paint thinned with turpentine
and it seemed to do something to
the stain below, bringing the pink
color right up to the surface. I
thought I might have thinned the
paint too much, so on one panel I
tried the priming coat Just as it
came from the can and it has done
the same thing again. Is there
anything that can be done about
this, or have I made some wrong
move in using the printing coat?
K. D.
Answer-That red mahogany stain
is most difficult and needs a special
treatment. We used to use alumni
mum paint to seal the stain in"
but do not think that this is avail
able now. The paint dealers have
a substitute for the ALUMINIUM paint,
and they also have a regular sealer
that will keep the stain on the doors
where it belongs. Use this accord
ing to their directions and then you
may put your enamel on and be
sure that the pink will not burn
through.

a movie or q dance or q dinner once
in a while, but our age, our superior
education, our good salaries, our
adequate and attractive homes seem
to frighten away any males. At any
rate, our mutual problem seems to
be this Finding ~ man the right
age, who Is not married, who Is
gentleman, and who Is willing to be
friends (for we are not especially
interested in getting marrieO with
a woman who Is his intellectual and
business equal Most men of our
age or q bit older seem only to be
attracted to young girls and to pre-
fer nit-wits. OF course, one Of the
disadvantages of being a woman Is
that you cannot 60 out and hunt
up the kind Of men whose society
you would enjoy. You have to sit
around and wait for Mr.. Right to
happen to notice you. And there
isn't much hay in that. Do you
know of any way in which we could
join group where we could meet,
quite naturally, the type of men we
are searching for? Or shall we just
resign ourselves to an Adamless
Eden and leave the men to the
younger generation?
TWO FRIENDS
Answer-The truth of the old
adage that you cannot have your
cake and eat it too has no better
illustration than is offered by the
career women. They cannot have
both their jobs and their men until
men outgrow their jealousies of
successful women and lose their
taste for feminine brains unless they
are scrambled. Possibly this may
happen, but it will take place so far
in the future that it won't do any of
the present generation Of female
highbrows any good.
It is matter of statistics that
college graduates are in the lowest
matrimonial brackets, which shows
that the great majority of educated
men prefer wives who read the cook
book instead Of the classics. Nearly
every famous woman has had one or
two divorces to her credit, because
the average husband can stand any,
Evening star., 1942-04-10

thing from his wife except being
called Mrs. Mary Jones.
And most men would rather 60 on
the w. P. A. than work under a
woman boss, no matter what fine
executive she may be, nor how fair
and just and considerate of the feel
ings of her employees.
Just why men who glory in an
other mans success resent woman
climbing to the top of the ladder;
Just why it doesn't hurt a mans
vanity for another man to be more
intelligent and better educated than
he is, but who Is given an acute in
feriority complex by a woman know
ing more than he does, is one of the
mysteries of masculine psychology.
But it exists. And women fight
against it in vain.
So I am afraid that you two sue
cessful lady executives will have to
content yourselves with your jobs,
instead of having dates.

Manners
of the
Moment

II your child starts bowling when
you are out walking with him, take a
thought to your pace. Perhaps you
are going at a rate which is hard
for him to keep up with. And may
be, after running three or four
blocks, he has grown tired of it.
Adults sometimes forget how long
their legs are in comparison to chill
dren's legs. A woman ought to be
able to figure out how the child feels
by remembering how it feels to walk
with a six-foot man who has been
on his college track team and who
takes Connecticut avenue In the
same stride that he used to take the
track. Just remember that feeling
when you are walking with the little
ones. It ought to make better citi-
zens Of the coming generation. At
least, it will reduce the amount of
bowling on the streets at the mo-
ment, which is something. JEAN.

flowers. Remembrance rings" are
usually in symbolic design, such as
the flag or victory-V. 1t is given
to mothers or sisters by departing
servicemen and is worn on the
middle or pinkie finger Of the right
hand. Service insignia are pin or
clip replicas Of the insignia he is
wearing.

A new household aid on the mar

the preparation of cherries for can

little early to mention this item,
but the cherry season really is lust

One Of the loveliest salad bowl
sets recently seen is made Of solid
mahogany. The exterior Of the

pocket easy to find even in the dark.
This unusual article Is most prac-
tical, for there is plenty of space
for handkerchiefs, medicines, Gig

want. These lazy mans delights
are made of rayon material and

A swirl mixer is excellent for mix
ing such things as gravies and

On the market is a gelatin made

to the last flower in q bridesmaids

Wedding gowns now being shown
include, as always, the traditional
white satin which can't be beaten
for effectiveness and dignity, par
ticularly where the wedding Is a
very large one in church. For less
austere surroundings or for the girl
who wants a slightly softer gown,
there is flattering marquisette, de-
mure faille and even dainty dotted
swiss. In many cases the gowns
have long trains, even though the
veil may be q r-tip-length one,

cially for the bride who wants to

still the favorite, but there are
numbers Of pastel wedding gowns
being shown and until you've seen
one, you have no idea how exquisite
a bridal dress Of soft yellow or blue
can be.
AS a rule, the attendants clothes
follow the brides in silhouette, but
they usually contrast in color. ALL
white weddings are favored by a
few, but most brides prefer the
colorful fashions for attendants to
give them setting" Incidental
ly, the bride is entitled to be a
little selfish on this score. She's
wise to choose those colors for her
bridesmaids dresses which flatter
her own coloring and it's her priv
ilege to see that these background
colors" do as much for her as does
her own gown.
Gay and different" accessories
help more than anything else to
make the formal wedding a much
talked-of occasion. -. For instance,
among the new ideas are little straw
"coolie hats" for the attendants.
They wear these tied with ribbons
under the chin and carry huge straw
baskets shaped like hats and heaped
with spring flowers. Unusual flow
ers make a great deal Of difference,
too, and florists are doing such
lovely bouquets as those of pale
purple tulips opened wide and car
ried with gowns of blue marquisette.
With this the bride carries wide
open white tulips.
Remember that it's not neces-
sarily the amount Of time or money
you are able to spend that makes
the formal wedding q long g-remem-
bered thing of beauty.

nut table or get some walnut chairs?
I do not wish to invest in more
furniture until know the length Of
our stay here and would like to
make something out of what I have
if it will be presentable.
J. S. c.
Answer-Suggest you try tying
the whole thing together" with an
interesting color scheme, combining
the two sets of furniture. Pick up
one Of the bright colors in your
drapery fabric and paint the kitch-
enette furniture to match It. Or
if you have some lovely china pieces
build color scheme around these
and display them. Place the paint
ed table against the wall and hang
some shelves above 1t for the china.
1t will look like buffet or serving
table and be most useful. Use the
painted chairs with cushions in
them to pick up the color scheme
and add a bit of formality with your
walnut table. You might repeat the
dark walnut wood in a fine tier ia
BILE in the window with plants on it,
or in pair of walnut fern stands
or some similar pieces. Later when
you invest in dining room furniture
these matching articles will be
doubly useful.
Dear Miss Nowell-Are there any
substitutes for mirrors? I have q
tiny powder room and had hoped to
do one whole wall in mirror, partial
ly for decoration and partially for
a spacious effect, but a large piece
of plate glass is too expensive and
I must fill in this space somehow.
A small mirror with the usual side
lamps seems very dull. G. c.
Answer-You might work up q
large mirrored effect by using six
small, inexpensive mirrors, in a,
row, in 3 panels. Paint their
frames a vivid color and surround
them with a wallpaper or stenciled
border. This is at least new and
different, and will make an inter-
esting and important" wall.
Dear Miss NowelEI have looked
everywhere for a lamp shade for
an interesting porcelain vase that
I have had made into a lamp. It
should be either real parchment or
an interesting fabric that will have
surface texture. Do you know of
any place that I might find this?
D. r.
Answer-The unusual and per
sonal" type of ready-made shade
is difficult to get in these days Of
curtailed production. but the spe-
cialty shops that make lamp shades
to order would be able to help you,
am sure. They will make a real
parchment shade for you, or will
have other suggestions to offer that
will be worthy of your interesting
lamp.
Dear Miss Nowell-Is there any

No Magic to
Eradicate
Wrinkles
Healthful Routine
Plus Exercises
Recommended
Rp Patricia Lindsay

Women who have wrinkles, and
girls, too, usually write and ask me
to give them the name of a magic
cream or treatment which will
eradicate unlovely face and neck
lines. In these letters they usually
confess they have tried q lot Of
aids, but the wrinkles remain with
them.
Sad news as it is, there is no
magic way of banishing wrinkles.
1t takes a lot Of concentrated effort
to get rid of them, once they are
allowed to etch their lines in ones
face and neck.
Wrinkles come from frowning, too
drastic dieting, too little body exer-
else, worry, discomfort, severe illness,
foot ailments and neglect Of beauty
care and sleep. And only by being
loyal to a definite corrective routine
can q woman rid herself of them.
This routine includes so many steps
that most women will not test it!
First of all, frowning and scowling
and straining the eyes must cease.
Every day at least 20 minutes must
be devoted to exercises, preferably
down on the rug. But If you wish
you may exercise out of doors by
walking or playing a competitive
game. If the blood does not circu-
late normally, you cannot expect the
tissues Of the face and neck to re-
ceive proper nourishment and firm
ing.
Facial exercises are next in i'm
portance. These are done sitting
before a mirror before you apply
any creams or astringents to your
skin. They encourage the elasticity
back into the muscles which pre-
vents them from sagging out Of
place.
If q woman gets little sleep and
does not eat enough to keep a bird
alive, she cannot expect to have a
radiant complexion and q happy
expression. The skin, for health and
beauty, requires a weu-balanced
diet, even though one may be count
ing calories. And the only way to
reduce without losing beauty is to
reduce gradually-2 pounds a week
for month, then 3 pounds q week,
until the desired weight is reached.
Ill-f1tting shoes are bound to cause
distress lines on the face. Be vogue
ish and wear sturdy, comfortable
walking shoes during the day. Save
dainty, high-heeled pumps for par
ties!s when you do not expect to
walk far or stand long.
There are many good wrinkle
creams and lotions and astringents
on the market which should be used
daily. But none Of these can be
eficacious unless all the above rules
are followed. Rest is also essential,
and so is a clear mind!
Leaflet No. 63 provides facial
exercises. If you request 1t, write
