says oNunng PAT 8OD
We must be 9lomourous'

Even under photographer 1000
watt lights l have to look exqui-
siter' Pat Boyd says. Whats
more. l simply can't risk injury to
the expensive clothes l model in.
So it was a load of my mind when
l found deodorant that really
did the job Odorono Cream!
"The point is. Odorono Cream
contains a really effective perspi-
ration-stopper. 1t simply closes
the tiny sweat glands and keeps
them closed-up to 3 days.
"Odorono Cream is safe, too.
Even after shaving it is n0n-irri-
tating-it it actually contains sooth-
ing emollients. Also. I've proved
that it won't rot fabrics. l just
follow directions and use it 2s
often as l like. And think of it!
Odorono Cream gives you up to
2l more applications for 39f than
other leading deodorant creams.
What a saving!
$50 to every girl who d like to be

my advice: use Odorono Cream!"

WE
the Women
BY RUTH MALLETT

Some people are already worrying
abol:5 the effect that going into
uniform for the duration will have
Oh women.
They think that WAACS and
WAVES and SPARS may get SO ac-
customed to RECOMMENDATION that
they won't want to go back into
civilian life.
They wonder If they won't be-
gin to think too much like men to
fit satisfactorily into postwar
world.
They wonder if they'll ever want
to settle down.
With all the postwar problems
there are to worry about, this is
one | think we can skip over light
ly.
The girls arc crazy about wear
ing unifolms-sure. But that is be-
cause uniforms are "the thing" in
war time.
When the war is over, and wom-
EN- again start trying to out-do each
ether in the matter OF dress, won't
the uniformed girls be just as anx-
iouS to get back to their feminine
trappings as they were to get out
of them for uniforms? Sure, they
will Women don't enjoy being out
of step.
And when the men come home,
anxious to settle down and enjoy
the ease and comforts of home, the
girls will want to settle down, too.
JUST AN INTERLUDE
And as far as thinking like men
is concerned-it is doubtful that
they will ever start that. Prob
ably there isn't man in the Serv-
ice who Joined on the chance that
it might help him to find wife.
And yet, if they would admit 1t,
probably a good percentage of the
women in service went in because
they thought they would have q
good chance of finding themselves
husbands.
Women just naturally like Secur-
ity and look on marriage and a
home as the ideal way of life.
This wearing of uniforms is just
an exciting interlude. 1t won't ap-
peal to women indefinitely. Not aft
er the men start getting back into
civilian clothes.
Let's worry about some more
pressing postwar problems, If we
have time left over from worrying
about today and worry about to-
morrow.
