The Young Idea

The power and glory Of American
history whispers through the esma-
jestic, serene beauty Of Arlington
National Cemetery. We all know it
as the resting place Of 80 many Of
Americas honored dead. What we
may not realize Is that 1t also tells
the story Of Americas conflicts and
victories. The memorials here can
graphically imprint that story on
your child's mind in q manner with
which most textbooks cannot vie.
Here rests in honored glory an
American soldier known but to
God" This line, carved upon the
Tomb OF the Unknown Soldier. is
faithful to the dignity and SIM
pucity of the tomb itself. To our
way Of thinking, this historic
tribute to the American dead Of
the World War, before which a lone
guard keeps constant vigil, Is the
most impressive feature Of the GEM
etery's distinguished array OF me-
MORALS. A short distance from the
tomb, in q room Of the memorial
Amphitheater, are the trophies pre-
sented to the Unknown Soldier, the
highest honors conferred by the
United States Government, by for
|eign governments and by various or
ganizations and orders. On display
here are the Congressional Medal

ing to do that they became afflicted
with imaginary cancers and tuber-
culoSis and heart disease. AL OF us
know women who have been invalids
for years who have risen from their
sick beds when they lost their money
and have gone to work keeping
boarders and been hale and hearty
ever after.
And work is the one specific that
never fails for attaining happiness
It is the women with nothing to dc
except to worry over the state OF
their husbands affections, losing
their looks or not being able to
have new car who are the fretful
peevish, discontented ones.
The women who are so busy they
haven't time to tell you Their
troubles are the happy ones. And
by work don't mean boondoggling
I mean the hard, honest-to-God
labor that takes the strength OF
their hands and every ounce OF
brains they have to turn out q worth
while job, whether it is cooking a
good dinner, rearing q family or fly
ing an airplane. Many a woman
with her husband or her sons at the
front could not have stood up under
the strain Of anxiety the war has
brought her II 1t had not been for
her work.
Work may have been sent on hu-
manity as punishment, but, if so

In another section of the ceme-

war, the Civil War. These cannon
encircle the ground on which Fort
Mcpherson stood, one Of the forts
erected for the defense of Washing

Cast In bronze, the Confederate

us the city which sprang from his
design.
There are many other impressive
memorials located in the cemetery.
The memorial Amphitheater, the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and
the Maine Memorial are relatively
close together, but there's many a
step between these and some of the
others, which are located through

A patch OF silver lining to the war
cloud is afforded by the fact that
the general public is being made
aware OF the value Of work as a
remedy for whatever ails them. Oc-
cupational therapy Is taking the
place of rest cures and instead Of
putting patients who have that tired
feeling to bed, doctors are advising
them to get busy and do something
None Of the accounts of the mir
acles being performed by the medics
on the war front have been more in
teresting and significant than the
reports Of the cures that are being
made among the sick and wounded
men by giving them something alb
sorbing and worthwhile to do, some
thing that takes their minds of their
misfortunes and makes them feel
that life is still worth living.
Time was when the specific for
every trouble, from tummy ache to a
broken heart, was to 60 to bed and
stay there, which gave you a nice,
long. uninterrupted time to dwell
upon your pains and make the most
OF them, and to keep your pillow
sodden with tears because weeping
was the only activity in which you
could indulge. This gave us the
hordes of chronic invalids, who
were bedridden for years and who
killed of their families waiting upon
them, and the melancholy grandmas
and Aunt Susies who never got
over" anything or took OH their
mourning.
This substitution of a job for a
couch is a cure-all for the ills from
which they suffer, both physically
and mentally. Killing time Stays
more women than all the germs In
the universe.
Every doctors ONCE is crowded
with middle-aged women with
strange and fearsome symptoms
that suddenly develop after the last
of their children got married and
left home. Up to that time they hao
enjoyed robust health and been a.
busy as bees having babies, rearing
families, doing housework, sewing
and doing the million things thai
make home comfortable.
It Is only after the children were
gone and there was practically moth.

Beauty Rannblings
then, a daring red.
BY EpeIyn Hayes

beauty gear is good cream de-
odorant which she automatically
uses after the morning shower, prob
ably to reinforce the stronger liquid
deodorant and anti-perspirant she
uses one or twice weekly. There's
new one on which we've heard
enthusiastic reports. It's spicy
scented, greaseless and vanishes on
application. Depending on the in
dividual, it retards perspiration
from one to three days, but for sum-
mer we suggest daily dose.
Here's clue to the gift-hunters-
a pretty little treasure for q trifle.
It's Reliable powder mitt with a
terry cloth palm through which the
powder Sits gently onto you. The
backs are made Of rayon in white
(for bridal shower gifts, petal pink
or heaven blue-and in pretty floral
prints. Each one comes with its
own package of powder and is at
tractively boxed. They're especially
nice for the travel-minded who will
love them for their fiat packability.
If there's one thing needed to
protect the working girls beauty it's
cleanser that will give a quick
IL to her face at the end Of the
day. We have found a good liquid
one that has streamlined our end
of-day face fixing immeasurably.
All you need is a piece of cotton
dampened and pressed out of water
to apply it and you'll be amazed to
see the collection of makeup, sur
face CRIME and dust it removes at
one fell swoop. More than Just a
cosmetic, 1t has been used at times
for the treatment of skin irritation,
too, partially because of its excel
lent misunderstanding properties.
You'll notice its medicinal odor
when you use 1t, and be surprised
by the pleasant clean fragrance 1t
imparts to your skin. It makes your
face feel cool and tingly, a def
nitely desirable feeling for q WASH
ington summer.

Out in seconds-Off for weeks is
the claim of the company that puts
out a cream wax depiliatory we've
been doing an editorial rave on
these many months. When it comes
to claims, we're from Missouri Gin
good company these days)-but this
stuff has shown us over and over
again. Among the many virtues OF
this fairly new addition to the de-
furrers are the ease and simplicity
of using it. It's so quick, SO pleasant,
and it lasts so long. A pair Of legs
can remain smooth about five times
longer this way than they do via
the razor route. and the fuzz that
grows back is spaYer and softer.
It's probably the honey in 1t that
helps make your skin so smooth and
receptive to makeup. Best Of all,
you can buy it now for home use.
All! Something new in the bareieg
department-war paint that comes
out Of a compact. It's actually COM
pressed cream in a case no bigger
than a powder case. You simply take
a moist sponge-fairly moist, but not
dripping apply in long strokes
from the instep upward. Then, in
stead of waiting for it to dry as you
usually do, use your hands to bun
it dry in quick cymbal strokes. If
you haven't a sponge, use a fairly
large piece of cotton; a small piece
when moistened becomes too small
for workability. The effect should be
smooth and sheer-stockinged, and
those whove tried it say it's much
quicker, too. A life-saver. we'd think,
for those days when you just don't
have time to do a good hose-paint-
ing job before you leave for the
office. In such hectic moment,
you'd slip the compact into your
purse and be on your way. Once at
the office, it's a simple thing to ad-
journ to powder your nose" and
come back with your gains freshly
be-glamoured.
Maybe our burlng technique's the
reason, but we 90 better with the
makeup that comes out Of bottles.
And especially with one we've re-
Gently discovered. Perhaps it's the
creaminess, but this particular lotion
manages to 30 on smoothly in the
face of our individual brand Of slap
dash which usually results in get
ting three quarters of the lotion on
the floor and one-fourth on the legs.
Furthermore, it stays on through
thick and thin, and looks the way
the advertisement says 1t should.
Soap, water and a bit of scrubbing
remove 1t readily. incidentally, If
you're a sofa-smearer with your leg
makeup, shame on you, and here's q
tip. Always rub OF the excess make
