COPY THE LAZY CAT AND GROW SLIM FOR FALL Helena Rubinstein Takes The Stigma Out of “Cattiness”: Re­commend Cat-Stretch Exercises for The New Fall Silhouette Next time someone calls you a cat, think twice before you get mad. It may be intended as a great compliment. Aesthetically speaking, the cat is an admirable creature, and this year, in parti­cular, it will take a cat’s slender­ness ^and sleekness, to carry off slim tiered skirts and feminine sloping shoulders, according to one of the world’s greatest beauty experts, Helena Rubinstein. She advises you to make the cat your mrdel and #copy its effortless streamlined exercises to bring your figure back to slim lines and rid yourself-of any avoirdupois that you may have accumulated during the sluggish summer months. ^ Madame Rubinstein has been watching cats, studying them in­tently to discover how this su­­peibly graceful creature manages to remain lithe and supply with­out seeming to do much about it but sleep and drink cream, with only an occasional burst of tree-climbing. Madame Rubin­stein came to the conclusion that the secret is stretching—a special kind of stretching that only the cat knows how to do. Cats are expert stretchers—they know how to draw every muscle in their So you want to make some Chowchow for the winter? Well, here’s a recipe that I think is very good ... for larger amounts increase the ingredients accord­ingly ... , 1 quart small white onions 1 quart small cucumbers 2 heads cauliflower 3 green peppers. 1 quart vinegar 6 tablespoons mustard 3 tablespoons flour 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon tumeric Peel onions and add cucumbers, cauliflower, cut into small pieces and sliced peppers. Sprinkle with salt; cover with water and allow to stand over night. Drain and cook in salt water until vegetables are tender, and drain again. Boil vinegar and add paste made ot mustard, flour, sugar, tumeric, arid a little cold vinegar, stir­ring until mixture thickens. Add vegetables and cook slowly ten minutes. Seal in sterilized Jars. One of the best recipes for- Southern Spoon Bread follows ... this bread, you know, is an ex­cellent substitute for potatoes, or regular bread, and so-o-o de­licious! 2 cups boiling water bodies out to its full length, not with quick, straining jerks, but with long, slow, incredibly grace­ful movements. So kitty’s circu­lation, which slows down during sjeep or relaxation, returns to its normal rate and the tone of the relaxed muscles* is restored. Nc office-sitting or cafe-resting can thicken pussy’s sylph-like form. To .help you copy the cat and recondition your figure for the new Fall fashions, Madame Ru­binstein has devised a series of graceful, easy-to-do cat-stretch exercises, and going even fur­ther, she has devised a wonderful stretching gadget, called the Lithe-Line, which is a rope made of spongy rubber with loops at each end for either your feet or your hands. The Lithe-Lina helps you to stretch so that every movement really means some­thing. It makes exercising fi^n and so easy that you’ll never again complain of being too tired to exercise. The Lithe-Line was developed in the Helena Rubin­stein Salon but is now available to all women, complet# with a booklet of cat-stretching exercises for you to dp at home. Here are Madame Rubinstein’s Reconditioning Cat-Stretching Routines: 1) Middle-Slimmer — Stand erect, feet about one foot apart. Hold Lithe-Line taut overhead. Swing torso from side to side without relaxing Lithe-Line. For waistline. 2) Hip-Liner — Lie on back 1 cup cornmeal 1 tablespoon butter 1 % teaspoon salt 4 eggs % cup . milk % cup flour 2 teaspoons Baking Powder 2 tablespoons sugar Cook cornmeal boiling water, butter and salt over double boil­er until thick. Separate eggs and beat yolks and milk together. Add to first mixture. Add flour, sugar and baking powder that had first been sifted together. Fold in stiffly beaten egg whites. Bake in well buttered baking dish, for thirty minutes in hot oven. Spoon from dish it was baked in at table. If it’s still hot enough to drink one of those long, cool drinks from Havana, wherever you are, how about a Cuba Libre? Juice and rind of one half lime, one jigger of your favorite brand of rum, mix in bottom of a ten ounce glass. Fill glass with crush­ed ice, and pour over this as much Coca-Cola as the glass will hold. Stir thoroughly. Yum ... even your Aunt Mary goes for this drink in a big way! ’Bye for now... —AUNT MARY. with arms outstretched at should­er level. Place Lithe-Line loops over each foot and hold taut. Swing legs from side to side touching the floor at each side, so that the leg and body form a right angle. Do not relax the Lithe-Line. For the hips. 3) Waist-Away — Sit with legs wide apart and knees straight.i heels pushed forward. Keep Lithe-Line taut between hands. Lean forward and touch left hand to left ankle and right hand to right ankle. Reverse and con­­t'nue. For waist and hips. 4) *Hip Twist — Kneel qn floor. Arms extended overhead holding Lithe-Line taut. Sit down Hello again! After toying with the idea of really seeing Penn­sylvania from “stem to stern” for many moons, I finally got around to it recently ... and got the surprise of my life at .all the wilderness out in the northwest­ern portion of the state! From a little towrf called Renovo to another little town called Em­porium I almost starved to death! Not even a gas station for miles on end. The view from the summit of the Bald Eagle Mountains was itself more than worth the trip! What with perfect visibility for seventy-five miles ... a soft breeze blowing .., and stuff and things ... I enjoyed it no end! There is a place near Kane where you will find the only Lobo wolves in captivity . .. Stopped to do a bit of shop­ping in Altoona ... some of the shops are very swell... ca'me mighty close to Pittsburgh but didn’t have time to drive right through ... Back into State Col­lege ... and Williamsport. Bought an adorable necklace of simulated quartz at a gift shop in Muncy ... the shop itself is very clever, having been previously a bank. The owner, Helen P. Metzger, showed me around ... what I liked was her method of con­verting the safety boxes in the vault into containers for her costume jewelry ... each labeled, Biown Bracelets, Jade Rings, etc. J find that the new swirling peplum will be one of the lead­ing styles in frocks for the Fall ... even Bonwit Teller of Fifth Avenue is featuring it... Black taffeta evening gowns trimmed with black velvet is the last word for after dark wear... Black velvet gloves, elbow length are also in ... Just before the fall of Paris I received a gorgeous pair of white kid gloves ... Gant Pré­­vot... guess I’ll have to have them dyed black! Perhaps the-most popular com­bination that I could find in most of the shops is black with dull gold trimming. Keep your eyes on those dull gold accessories, girls, they will be worn with natural brown and tan, too! on left side of legs and turn arms and body to the right. Get up on knees and sit down on right side, twisting body and arms to the left. For hip and waist. 5) Spread Eagle — Sit on floor, one leg extended td the side, the •other bent at knee. Holding Lithe- Line taut overhead, swing body from side to side. Change legs and repeat. For waistline. 6) Swan Dive — Sit on floor with legs apart. Extend arms in back of you, stretching the Lithe- Line. Extend one arm and then the other to the floor, alternating. For shoulders. Bright red corduroy is more then swell... hunter green is be­ing used as its sister color... a few jade buttons help, too! Re­versible raincoats are bright red on one side...tan on the other. The hats I have seen so far are too sweet for words ... my favor-, ite is the Robin Hood Stetson that dips jauntily over the right eye ... red with a long green quill ttat simply shoots ’way up! Then there is the hunter green varia­tion of antelope skin ... this one has a brilliant red feather to offset the green! Pill boxes ... pancake shapes ... Fadre-shaped ... all are good this fall. Was at a perfectly delightful champagne party last Wednesday night! One of the most clever frocks I saw was of blue crepe ... military fashion .... a double row of buttons dqwn the front... trimmed with dull gold! Speaking of champagne, did you ever stop to think how funny a list of your likes and dislikes would sound? Mine would run something like this ... I love champagne, orchids and licorice sticks! I dislike caviar (although I always have some on hand for those fussy gues'ts who simply can not enjoy a cocktail party unless there are caviar canapes!)... don’t care for gardenias or caramels ... Love sunsets ... and imagine I’d feel the same about the sun rising, too, if I ever got up in time to see it! Love flying, horse­back riding and swimming ... hate to drive a car. That makes me feel as though I’m out of my element... you know, more at home in the air„ and water ... Simply loathe time tables and road maps, because I can’t read the former and can’t fold the latter! But then, who can? Love my brother Jack’s “Dag­­wood” sandwiches ... he’s the one who helps me feed the left-over caviar to our neighbor’s cat... Hate novels with an unhappy ending ... they always leave me with a dark brown taste in my mouth. Don’t mind the same kind of ending in an historical book or biography... but when I read GADABOUTS
