Look Your Prettiest on That Date
Men n Be Feminine and Well Groomed

Guilty of social sabotage" and
poor Judgment is the girl who
thinks that her serviceman home
on leave will be so enchanted
with her long eyelashes that he
won't notice the soiled collar on
her shirtwaist. For man in our
armed forces is more fussy than
ever about the appearance of the
"girl he left behind" In the
services, accent is on neatness
and cleanliness and our fighting
men have every right to expect
their favorite civilians to be at
tractively and appropriately
dressed.
Appropriateness varies, Of
course, with your special "date"
of the evening, but attractive
ness is a must" whether you're
out with private in the rear
ranks or a heartbeat with much
gold braid up his sleeve. It's i'm
possible to set down hard and fast
rules for clothes that servicemen
like, for that varies usually with
the individual, the occasion and
also with the type of clothes most
becoming to your special style Of
beauty. However, 1t is possible to
say that neatness is rule No. /,
and that means that you must
have a fresh-out- of -the-shoWer
look, a clear skin, clean, we'll
groomed hair and clothes that
look as though they have been in
recent contact with the cleaner
or laundry.
AS a general rule, servicemen
don't like conspicuous clothes.
This doesn't mean you must be
conservative to the point Of
dreariness, for your young lieu
tenant still gets a kick out Of
your silly hat; in fact he'd prob
ably be disappointed if he came
home and found you had gone in
for doWager headgear or none
at all.
You can still be chic and in
good taste; still dress in the

clothes that make every one look

flowers, delightful arrangements
may be made with grasses and
foliage. Tall, slim grasses, some
of them with their blossoms or
seed pods, contrasted with fuzzy,
thick leaves or a few fern fronds,
make a charming composition.
This type Of thing has been
made famous by the Orientals
who usually combine tiny figures
or small porcelain or glass birds
and animals in the arrangement.
Many of the shrubs have inter-
esting stem character with tiny
new leaves which have bronze or
reddish tints and full grown
leaves with fascinating veins and

valuable part Of the decoration
of each room in the house.
Growing things add immeasur-
ably to the attractiveness of the
house. Flower arrangements are
an indication Of the care and
thought which is so necessary to

What Of Perfume?
American Chemistry Reblacing Imborfed Oils
BY Tivian Brovn.
Associated Press Features Write


What is the war going to do
to perfume? That's the worry
of the perfume dealer today.
The alcohol shortage is a big
problem. But, if manufacturers
can manage to obtain their 500
allotment of last years supply,
they promise to make all the per-
fume that can be used. Perhaps
1t won't be packaged elaborately,
but you'll have it just the same.
AS for toilet water perfumers
say girls literally have been bath
ing in it and it has had a tremen-
dous market. But because of the
high alcohol content, substitutes
will have to be found. There are
cream base colognes which can be
used as a makeup base as we'll;
revival of the powder sachets-
one spicy one in particular which
can be rubbed directly into the
skin and creamy solid cologne
which is fitted into fiat handy
compacts.
''The biggest demand right now
comes from defense workers."
says Herb Harris, president of a
large perfume house. 1T seems
girls want to smell sweet after
a day of oil and grease. Soldiers,
too, are using more after-shaving
lotion than ever before.
working girls-stenographers,
clerks and salesgirls buy good

the impression that working girls

trary, women haven't changed

foliage give height to the ar
rangement, with the trailing ends
resting on the small garden at the
base. These should be done to
look as much as possible as
though they were growing. They
should also be placed where they
get good light and may be in
spected closely, as most of the
charm of the arrangement is in
the detail of the small grasses
and plants at the base. Best of
all, these will last several weeks
with only the cut flowers needing
to be changed, so that they save
time as we'll as money.
Vegetables and their foliage
are both smart and decorative
for the summer dinner table.
Scrubbed carrots, beets, turnips
and radishes are removed from
their tops. The tops, washed,
are placed In a shallow bowl so
that the ends rest in the water.
This keeps them crisp and fresh
and forms bed for the bright
vegetables which are arranged in

Etiquette in
Wartime
D. D.
BY Emily Post

The problems created during
these past months by the many
men going into the service, have
been varied in scope as we'll as
numerous. Examples of most of
these have been printed and an
sWered in this column. The
following letter, however, has a
very puzzling angle to the prob
lem of the man who has been
given lot of good-by presents
and is then rejected for service.
This particular problem is de-
scribed as follows: Johns Office
associates gave party in his
honor when he was called up for
induction. and all gave him pres
ents. So far so good! But one of
the presents was a money belt
well padded with greenbacks.
And now that he has to 60 back
to work in the same office, what
can he do about all of the pres
ents and particularly this last
one?
The answer to this is certainly
difficult, but item for item: He
would, of course, have to keep
things marked with his name or
already put in use. Otherwise he
should offer to return the pres
ents to the givers who might
perhaps like to give them to the
next man who goes-and stays
gone! But the money is the real
problem. 1t would be in very
bad taste to spread it out on
table and ask each donor to take
back his own. He might ask
them to vote on the suggestion
that he give party with part of
the money and turn the rest of
it over to the Red Cross, from
"The Office" of course.

Dear Mrs. Post: My marriage
will be a simple affair, when my
flance is home on leave. There'll
be only about 40 relatives and
friends. Well have it in church,
however, and will take the guests
into the next room and serve fruit
punch and cake. Now, then, my
question is this: There will be
dozen relatives on both sides COM
ing from out -of-town. Mother
wondered if she and Dad would
have to invite them to the club
or to the house to dinner?
Answer: Ordinarily guests are
not expected to stay after the
bride and bridegroom leave and
it should not be necessary to in
vite them to dinner. However, I
do think that something more
substantial than punch and cakes
should be provided for those from
out -of-town-especially if it is
uncertain that they will be able
to get dinner. Hot chocolate or a
hot creamed soup and plenty of
sandwiches would do nicely.

since Cleopatra's day-they know
perfume and will pay whatever
1t is worth to them"
The animal contributes to the
basic elements of perfume. Civet
from the Abyssinian cat, musk
from the Chinese musk deer, am
bergris from the whale and castor
from the Russian or Canadian
beaver, all serve to retain and i'm
prove the quality of the finished
aroma.
Perfumers were far-sighted
enough to stock up, however.
Now, though the importation of
natural flower essence oils has
completely stopped, the consensus
is~there are enough oils to last
the war out.
William Dunney, perfume
chemist for Al years, says that al
though the perfumers have
good stock of essential oils the
war is depicting them rapidly.
1t takes 5000 pounds of the
Bulgarian rose to yield pounds
Of pure altar of rose, but the rose
in this country would yield much
less oil. Climate has something
to do with it. So has soil. Even
transplanting the roses wouldn't
help.
Although jasmin, tuberose,
orange flower and hyacinth oils
came from France-now occupied
by the enemy-when the time
comes, Mr.. Denney believes the
American perfumer is prepared to
supply excellent substitutes.

And, for a thousand years or
more, ii has been one Of the holy
spots of the Chibchas, who before
the coming of the invading con-
quistadors in the Sixteenth Cen
tury. ruled a rich and prosperous
kingdom in the high Andean pla-
teau land which was to become
New Granada and subsequently
Colombia.
According to their legends, the
wife OF some forgotten chief of
the neighborhood was unfaithf,ll
to him with one of his courtiers.
The chief, Infatuated. promptly
put the offending sub-chief to
death. Lamenting her lost lover
the wife. clutching her baby,
jumped into the lake and was
drowned.
At this the chief repented of
his fury and wished his favorite
wife back. He summoned his
magician and ordered him to re-
store the loved one TO life. The
obedient magician leaped into the
lake and, when he came back up
to the surface, he reported:
Thy wife is living happily
with the spirit of the lake and
says that she is better lodged
and treated than when she lived
with you. She refuses to return
to you. But she orders that once
every year golden ornaments
must be given her"
When the anniversary Of the
wife's suicide rolled around the
chief ordered all his subjects to
throw some article of gold into
the pool, setting them the ex-
ample by tossing in the massive

gold crown which was the in
sigma of his bank.
There Is no record of when
this happened, but for hundreds
Of years before the coming Of the
Spaniards the Chibchas once a
year threw offerings Of gold into
the lake and held a religious
ceremony.
In this the spirit of the lake
was represented by a nude youth
whose body was anointed from
head to foot with sweet oil, then
sprinkled thickly with gold dust.
The priests always escorted the
youth to the pool where he
plunged in, remaining in the
water until all the gold dust had
been washed off.
When the conquering white
men, led by Jimenes de Quesada,
one of Pizarro's lieutenants, came
into the country, one chief alone,
the Cacique of Simijaca, is re-
ported by their accounts TO have
thrown four tons Of gold into the
placid depths of Guatavita. At
the present price of gold this
treasure alone would amount to
around IS. 900 600. But this means
little compared with the enor.
nous treasure contributed by the
Chibchas for centuries before
they ever saw a white man.
Not understanding the physical
laws of water pressure the con-
querors, having heard from the
Indians OF rthe vast amount of
gold in the lake, tried at first to
recover 1t by tying weights to
Indian divers and forcing them
to plunge beneath the waters.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-01-31

Naturally, none of the divers
survived TO tell what they may
have discovered on the bottom,
only their corpses. crushed by
the terrific pressure at a depth
Of 200 feet, returning to the sur
face. However much they might
want the treasure the Spaniards
found no practical way to get it.
The first engineering attempt
was made in 1880 by Antonio de
Sepulveda Of Bogota. Impress
ing thousands of Indian slaves
he attempted TO drain the lake
by dipping out bucketsful. Be-
fore the lake was dry torrential
storms. unusual at this season of
the year, filled 1t up again.
But Sepulveda's failure didn't
end the efforts to recover the
sunkcn gold. Eazaro Fonte tried
it in the Seventeenth Century
and once again nature interviewed
in the form of an earthquake.
Further efforts languished un.
Ill Jose Ignacio Paris tried it in
1922. He did get enough water
out Of the lake to send down
divers who brought up a small
fortune in golden ornaments. But
they could find no more.
The last attempt was made
about 1900 by a European syn
dictate which, with steam pumps.
did drain the lake for short
period before fresh rains came.
Furthermore, there were sew
eral mysterious accidents that
occurred to both workers and
machinery, and these only inten-
sified the superstitious beliefs of
the natives that Eel Dorado" was
still protecting the lakes gold.
But even then the expectant
treasure hunters were disap-
pointed because, during the CEN
turtles, the stream feeding the
lake had brought in enough silt
to completely cover the bottom.
Enough was found TO prove that
the stories of Guatavita's wealth
were no myths, but not enough
to save the syndicate from bank
ruptcy Furthermore a quick
sand they couldn't measure was
found in the center Of the lake.
The ancient Chibcha faith held
that the souls Of the dead were
transported into the center OF
the earth. When the quicksand
was discovered, those who cher
ished the old faith merely said:
"Of course. The treasure has
gone TO bedeck the great chiefs
wife where she lives .eternally."
