morale. Much more engaging, nat
urally, is poor Ruth. who is beauti-
full, kind-hearted and no end con-
fused by fates sudden writhing into
strange pathways just when she
had her life perfectly organized and
secure. The same winning quality
Is to be found in 1t. William Sea-
wright, warrior returned with the
traditional hungers of the soldier
and determined that he shall not
go out again without his specific
woman to fight for. A sound, anus
ing triangle they make, one whose
affairs are properly tinctured with
dashes of poignance and intimations
OF sadness.
AS they always have been, the
sorely beset parents of Ruth and
Miriam are superb comedy charac-
ters in Dear Ruth" They are the
utterly familiar home-happy, sue
cessful Americans, in love with each
other, little awed by their chill
dren and separated just enough in
years from them to be more than
a little dubious of what to do about
them. They are handsomely pro-
tected from the hazard of looking
merely like the formula by two
effective performances by Howard
Smith and Phyllis Povah, the latter
of whom has been missing too long
from the theaters where we have
been.
Dear Ruth" is equally fortunate
in having Miss Lonergan to Dlay the
young sister, Virginia Gilmore, as
the harrassed heroine, John Dali as
the somewhat wolfish idealistic
young soldier, and Bartlett Robin
son as the stuffy banker suitor.
Frederick Fox designed the living
room set in which disaster so ener-
getically pursues the Wilkinses in a
comedy which, we repeat, fits so
nicely into the dossier of dramas
that have had the honor to be
chosen for Washington's gala an
nual command performance.

Spring Hair-Do's Are Easy to Manage
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

Want a new hair-do? Something
subtly styled, which can give you
a lift this spring and summer with
out troublesome upkeep?
From Hollywood, where no hair is
left unturned when it comes to glori-
fying famous heads, come sugges-
tions.
Saws M-G-M stylist Sidney Gull
aroff: Take out your pins, get your
brush, plant yourself in front Of a
mirror. and give several styles a
try-out before you settle for any
one"
If you decide on the "flat-top,"
such as blonde Audrey letter wears
at top left, Guilaroff says that hair
reeds a soft permanent in order to
shape it into this persuasive mold,
and to clinch the impression as the
week wears on. Brushed back from
the brow and dipped from a deeply
fmrowed wave, all ends of a long
bob are set in a page boy roll that
drops like a waterfall in the back
and swirls to the front to make a
soft, neat frame Cor the face.
If you want to look as young as
a cherub, settle for the feather-cut
Hair must be cut short-top length
five inches, lower locks about three
and given a good stout permanent
for springy uplift. Newest version,
popularized by Marsha Hunt dover
Left is side-parted, with long top
hair brushed up and out from the
part to lie snug and high in soft
ringlets.
From Helen Hunt, Columbia's
studio hair stylist, come tricks
which you can work out with long
hair and a head scarf (see Marguer-
ite Chapman's halo at upper righD,
or square of fabric to match the
color of your dress.
To copy, begin by parting your
hair in the center all the way down
the back. Separate hair into two
strands on either side. Now take a
large square scarf, fold diagonally
for the headband fashion in front,

Record of WACs
Comparable
To College Girls
BY RUTH MILLETT

Colonel Oveta Cup Hobby has had
to go to bat to defend the morals
of her WACS.
In recent interview she pointed
out that WACS records discount the
malicious stories that have been cir
culated about women in uniform
She let it be known that no serious
court-martial case against a WAC
is on record in the European theater
of orerations-that dishonorable
discharges are few.
1t doesn't speak we'll for fair
thinking Americans that the repu-
tations of women in uniform need to
be defended.
We have q realistic attitude to-
ward men in service. Some of them
behave themselves-and some don't.
section of the young women of the
country
There is not a college in the
country that doesn't have some NOR
al problems among women students
College deans are often called on to
decide what to do about a college
girl who is in trouble. And the
young women who are sent to col
lege are supposed to be from the best
/ homes in the country.
So why should the civilian pop
ulation get critical if among thous-
ands Of WACS some haven't as high
moral standards as they should
have?
If women in uniform are doing
important war jobs and their moral;
are as good-if not better-thar
any other cross section of women
their age, why should they have tC
be defended?
That they have to be, is a reflec-
ton On the fair -mindedness of theil
detractors.

Pin-Up Girls 4,
Make Public
Figure Conscious
Bv RUTH MILLETT

The toWnspeople of Kennebunk-
port, Me, are riled up over the muir
al in their local post office, done
at a time when WPA artists were
busy on such projects, and are try
ing TO get rid of it.
The mural of bulgy bathers cav
orting on a beach" The townspeo-
pie evidently don't like to look at
fat women in brief bathing suits
every time they go to post letter.
Why this sudden revulsion for
mural several years old? Can it be
that the lucious pin-up girls that
the war brought forth have made
the country more critical of the
feminine figure?
If So, isn't there hint for wom
ell in Kennebunkport's revolt against
the feminine form that is less than
divine? With summer Oh its way,
maybe women should step ard pom
der the question.
MIRROR TELLS ALL
If fat women in bathing suits
painted on a mural are so repulsive
to a pin-up girl conscious public,
maybe women had better look "a
long time into their mirrors before
they venture forth to sun them
selves on public beaches. ,
1t may be that with the Ein-up
girls proportions in everybody's
mind, the woman with a less than
perfect figure will come in for a
lot of unfair criticism and compar-
tson this summer.
And, if she doesn't want to cause
raised eyebrows and diSdainful
looks she had better do her sun
barhing in her own back yard, until
the pin-up portrait sinks into obli-
Won.
