March 27, 1941 Our South Land ___ By William B. Yuhase — Page 3 Appeal, Beauty and Charm By BETTY CAROL BALEGA Miss Betty Carol Balega in her column mentions her rapture over a camellia rose. She probably would be amused to see a camellia shrub on the state house grounds at Columbia, South Carolina, completely fenced in with a 6 foot iron fence. I i.sked a ground keeper “How come?” He replied that they had a heck of a time, as it were, keeping the girls and young women from climbing the fence and taking the blooms, and if the tree were not fenced, it itself would probably dis­appear. New Orleans has some lovely camellia shrubs. Some are 15 to 20 feet high and covered with hundreds of blooms. Several years ago, while I was living down there, several young women from Virginia dropped in on us at the tail end of the Mardi Gras season. And when they saw a camellia in bloom, they were like the young South Carolina women; they wanted to storm the tree. The kindly proprietor, how­ever, gave them each a half dozen flowers. The Mardi Gras in New Orleans is an entire season affair. Men of all ages be­long to or organize “Car­nival Clubs,” with the fees ranging from $10 to $1000 per season. Boys and girls save their funds for this annual splurge in costumes and revelry. The object of these clubs is a dance, or a street parade climaxed by a dance after­wards. The season opens on the 12th night after Christ­mas and ends on Shrove Tuesday (Carnival or Mardi Gras Day), when the revelry breaks out into the open. The dances are unique since they are both costumed and formal, and strictly by invitation. A member of the Carnival Club will mail you a pair of invitations anony­mously. You growl a little while your lady friend beams, and you finally wind up at the dance at the ap­pointed hour, attired in your tuxedo. The members of the club are already there dancing. You and your parner take seats and watch the dance. In due time your fair part­ner’s name is called. She arises and struts down the aisle, knowing fully that all feminine eyes are watching her. In the meantime a costumed dancer is ap­proaching her. They dance and he gives her a “favor” —some token for remem­brance. You still sit. This procedure is repeated several times during the evening while you still sit. Finally near midnight a Queen of the Ball is chosen along with her maids of honor. You finally get to escort your fair partner home, and two or three nights later you do it all over again. (You the escort might, squeeze in one dance if you are lucky.) During the last week of the season Momus Carnival Club starts off the first street parade on Thursday night. During the entire year the special carnival floats fveré built, usually depicting some scenes from fairyland tales. The mask­ers man these floats and ride to the ball room thru the streets of New Orleans, throwing little trinkets to the populace. • The next street parade is on Friday night, by the Proteus crew, and on Mon­day before Mardi Gras Day Comus Club in all its splend­or parades. Mardi Gras Day is always o.i Shrove Tuesday, and on that day every one enters in­to the spirit of the carnival. Kids, young and old, half grown and full grown, start to ease into position for places along the line of march. Traffic is at a stand­still, and the small carnival clubs turn out their mem­bers fully costumed, march­ing and counter-marching, all day long. The costumes are splendidly done and ex­pensive. The spirit of the carnival prevails; strangers clasp hands and mutually admire each other’s attire; lovely girls’ eyes beam, and they all flirt openly and brazenly. However, even with all this, one gets hungry, and unless you brought your own rations with you, your troubles begin. Traffic is at a standstill, so you walk trying to find a restaurant where you will be waited on. When traffic finally opens up a little, automobiles pat­rol the streets, watching the youngsters, and the negroes make merry. Finally the day passes into Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. The city sobers from its play and starts plans anew for the next Mardi Gras season. And the escorts swear not to do it again, or else join a carnival club.

All members are urged to attend and prospective mem­bers are welcome. After the enthusiastic re­ception of the first meet­ing, we shall look forward to bigger and better attend­ances. Come on, Detroiters, let us show our Hungarian American spirit! Fraternally, MARIE GALLOVICH, Secretary. The cosmetologists have been working hand in hand with the fashion designers to make you an utterly new you in time for Easter. A completely new per­sonality from the skin out! Practical beauty aids ... cosmetics new ... perfumes different... and startling new color themes .. all in time for Easter ... Yardley’s set the pace with their new Guest-Room Size of Old English Lavender-Soap. And what could be a better way to begin getting at the “new you” than a good lathering with the luxury soap of the world? Your guests appreciate it just as much as you do, too, so be the thought­ful hostess and see that they are well provided fon Schiaparelli’s salute to you at Easter comes in the form of her excitingly new additions, Salut Dusting Powder and Salut Talc. If your Easter bouquet is per­tumé, Salut has all the freshness of the first spring flowers, and as a gift it carries a compliment cnat outlives the season. Thit perfume dominates a line of cos­metics so typically Schiaparelli, and to my way of thinking the Salut Bath Sponges are a boon to any traveler! The get-out-and-from-under­­cover season is hard upon us, according to Helena Rubinstein, and now is the time to begin giving your hands and legs a thorough routine of treatments. If you’re out on a limb as to how to achieve the miracle of beautiful, smooth, hairless legs, try her magic Wax Depilatory Set. And for beautiful hands try reconditioning your fingers with her Fingertip Masque, formerly an exclusive Salon treatment, but now available for home use. The long awaited answer to the constantly growing demand for toilet water with matching atomizer has finally come from Shulton! In time for Easter, there will be complete gift boxes in both Early American Old Spice and Friendship’s Garden... a continuity of Shulton’s tradition of combining beauty with utility, at a minimum cost. The Old Spice box holds a Stiegel type bottle of toilet water, with atomizer in red, while for a lighter and more frivolous mood, Friendship’s Garden comes with a harmonizing pink bulb that matches beautifully the fragile decorations on the lovely hob­nailed bottle. Mermaids and seahorses are popping up everywhere due to the new Deep Sea color theme that has taken the land by storm! From coast to coast smart stores are promoting these new fashion shades. And now—in time for Easter—LaCross presents the Deep Sea Manicure Kit whose “piece de resistance” is a clever mermaid seahorse pin to be transferred to your lapel! The kit contains everything necessary for a complete manicure, polish remover, cuticle remover, nail file, emery board, orange sticks and a regular sized bottle of polish in any of the three new Deep Sea shades. In combination with these new shades of nail polish, Elmo’s Deep Sea Make-up is also attuned to this new fashion trend. The Climatized Lipstick, Creme Rouge or Dry Rouge are obtainable in Fire Coral, a lively tint to wear with beige, grey, pastel and muted tones, and Fathom Red, a rich and luscious shade with rose overtones, sophisticated and dra­matic, stunning with black and brown. The Eye Shadow comes in Sea Blue and Sea Green. Alix of Paris has styled a new face powder in five glamour shades as Jergen’s contribution to cosmetics—in time for Easter. Alix, famed as a designer and colorist, perfected a choice of shades so lightly and subtly blended that correct make-up is assured for the five basic type3 of women’s skin. Acting on the theory that skin tones vary ac­cording to health and even to weather, Jergens, assisted by Alex, now offer powder shades to meet the requirements of dull or glow­ing complexions, of rainy skies or brilliant sunshine. This powder is a follow-up to Jergens “One Jar” beauty cream, also styled by the famous French designer. In time for Easter... there are your suggestions for becom­ing a “new you”. ATTENTION!
