Appeal, Beauty and Charm By BETTY CAROL BALEGA GADABOUTS During the hectic and chaotic days of the holiday season I Wonder what effect all the dash­ing about has had on the com­plexion of the majority of Amer­ican women. Have you acknowl­edged that by now you havf acquired what is commonly Called a “holiday complexion,” due to fancied lack of time for the proper care of your skin? Or are you drifting into that smug and complacent type who believes that the face, throat, elbows and hands won’t tell tales Df neglect, using the dizzy pace set by the calendar as your excuse? If so, dear girl, first type or Second, this beauty routine by Charles of the Ritz should fit you like the proverbial glove. The time required for this treat­ment? A mere half hour—and It can all be done at home! So let us resolve for 1941 to have a more radiant and soignée ap­pearance in return for a half hour each week! 1. Scrub hands and the finger bails with your nail brush to make the cuticle soft and clean. Scrub your arms and elbows With the brush, too. 2. Apply a cleansing cream (suited to your type of skin) Over the face and throat. Charles oi the Ritz has specialized cleans­ing creams for oily, dry, normal and sensitive skin. 3. Remove cream with tissues. Then fingerprint Eye Cream around the eyes. The eye cream la mild and smooth, created especially to soften the tender skin around the eyes. 4. Apply Revenescence Masque to the face, keeping it about one Inch away from the eyes. This Masque does not harden on the face but produces a cooling sen­sation, then a gentle tingle, and leaves the skin glowing and radiant. 5. Pat Throat Cream on the Beck and under the chin with the fingertips. The Throat Cream la made of rich oils with astrin­gent qualities, and aids in ward­ing off lines and sagging. 6. Smooth Velvet Glove Hand Cream on hands and arms, giving particular attention to the elbows. 7. Apply cotton eye pads saturated with Charles of the Ritz Eye Lotion, and rest for 20 minutes. 8. Remove all creams with tissues, then pat the throat and elbows, BUT NOT THE FACE, with cotton pads saturated with Skin Freshener. Apply Velvet Glove Lotion on the hands to make them smooth, and let it dry. Now that you are well on your way to loveliness, there should not be the slightest doubt in your mind as to your choice of perfection in perfumery. Are you anticipating a dramatic entrance? An entrance that personifies the breathless hush before the cur­tain rises—the intoxication of a swirling pirouette—the emotional sweep of music—the symphonic grace of the prima ballerina—• the dizzy excitement of a thou­sand clapping hands? It is all yours as only Helena Rubinstein could present it to you in Gala Performance! It’s expensive. It’s precious. And worth it! This is a fragrance which lingers on in the memory, like a haunting strain of ballet music, long after the performance is finished!--------------O-------------­Comparative Popularity of Policy Forms Of all ordinary policies sold in - 1939, 91 percent were written on three forms of adult coverage as follows: whole life, 63 percent; en­dowment, 19 percent; terms 9 percent. Since 1935 the popularity of the whole life forms has decreased 4 per­cent, endowment increased 4 percent and term increas­ed 20 percent. Source: Sales Research Bureau. Aunt Mary's Column Well, folks, your Aunt Mary practically had to be dug out from a pile of Christmas wrap­ping paper, decorations and spruce needles to write this column today! The holidays are so marvelous that taking down the tree and putting all the gifts away always gives the home such a bare look for a while. It makes me feel a little sad. First on the list today is a little something that can mean a whole lot" to women if they haven’t overlooked them. I’m speaking about decal transfers. These clever and inexpensive patterns can transform an or­dinary and drab looking bath­room or kitchen into a colorful and cheery place. Very easy to apply, they are available at ’most any department store. Dress up your walls and kitchen furniture! But now to get back to the main object of the kitchen— good food. Have you ever tried making cheese crumpets? Well, you slowly melt Vz pound Kraft’s Velveeta in the top of a double boiler. Cut fresh white bread in thin slices, trim crusts and spread each slice quickly with the melted Velveeta. Roll up im­mediately like jelly roll and fasten with toothpicks. Toast the crumpets under low broiler heat, turning often so that they are evenly browned. Remove tooth­picks. Serve hot. For a different and filling sand­wich spread try this one made of peanut butter, chopped stuffed olives and enough mayonnaise so that the mixture spreads easily. Very tasty! Olives should be used according to taste. There have been quite a few requests for a good chocolate cake recipe lately. Well, here is perhaps the best one your Aunt Mary has ever come across. Are you ready? 1 lb. brown sugar % cup butter 3 eggs % cup cocoa—HU the rest Gadabouting this time takes us to the Pledge Dance held by the Chi Chapter of Delta Gamma Sorority, Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York. A most gala and festive affair! The place— the Masonic Temple. The or­chestra—Larry Richardson. The chaperones—Mrs. Gladys Hunt, house mother of Delta Gamma, and Mrs. Elizabeth L. Prowse. Social Chairman of the sorori­ty—Betty Stutz ’42, who arranged the affair. the cup with boiling water and stir well. % cup sour or buttermilk— stir into this 1 teaspoon of baking soda. 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 cups of cake flour sifted with 1 teaspoon of baking powder. Cream the first three ingre­dients and add the rest in their natural order. Bake in hot oven for thirty-five minutes, or until a toothpick has no batter on it after testing the cake. You know, friends, this war over in Europe has certainly brought out a lot of recipes that haven’t been used In America since 1918. For instance, remem­ber the one for corn bread? 1 cup com meal 1 cup flour 4 teaspoon baking powder 3 tablespoons sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1% cups milk 2 tablespoons melted butter 1 egg. Mix and sift dry ingredients; add milk, shortening and beaten eggs; beat well and pour into greased shallow pan. Bake in hot oven about 25 minutes. Serve with honey and milk. Perhaps the very nicest and most effective desserts are those that can be made from Jello. You can combine so many dif­ferent colors, fruits, vegetables and whatnots with Jello—always something new. My favorite com­bination is Lime and Orange blended with halved California grapes. As easy on the eyes as a newly fallen Autumn leaf, and as delicious as it looks! Well, here I am gadding over­time again, and with all the work that has to be done at home here yet, that is a capital crime. So bye-bye until very shortly when your Aunt Mary will check up to see just how many of those New Year reso­lutions you have kept! —AUNT MARY.--------------O-------------­A chart resembling those used for testing human eyes for astigmatism has been in­vented to check the adjust­ment and operation of tele­­oi vision cameras. Officers of Pledges—Pledge Mistress—Betty Boron; Pledg8 Presiden t—Rembert Brimxn; Scholarship Secretary—Sally Bick ford; Secretary—Shirley Sexauer. The gowns, which of course are what we are interested in, were vary-hued and styled. There were velvets in both light and dark shades. Silk jersey with long sleeves also made its ap­pearance. Taffeta, always in good taste, was well represented. Yards and yards of net and tulle in pastel shades were rather clever, more than clever in soma cases, for the gowns were made up in pink and blue. Delta Gamma’s colors. Not to be outdone, some of the other gowns were styled in red and white, Cornell’s colors! Or just a plain white frock with red flowers, the effect was quite smart! The flowers? Well, they ranged anywhere from sweetpeas to orchids, with gardenias pre­dominating all the rest! Worn as conventional shoulder corsages, pinned on evening muffs and bejewelled evening bags, or nestling among a cluster of gaily arranged curls! Flowers were in evidence everywhere! The Winter social season at Cornell was ushered in with a soft snow fall that transformed the entire campus into a winter wonderland, the flakes disappear­ing in the smooth and unruffled surface of Cayuga Lake, and weaving a pattern as delicate as filigree or lace on the trees and shrubbery. While browsing about in various other sections, I came across a few excellent books that simply should be on your must list. “Trelawny,” by Margaret Armstrong, a biography as thril­ling as any fictitious novel; “For Whom The Bell Tolls,” by Ernest Hemingway; “Oliver Wis­­well,” by Kenneth Roberts; “Fame Is The Spur,” by Howard Spring, author of “My Son, My Son!” Last, but in my estima­tion a grand addition to the world of books, is “Walt Disney’s Fantasia,” by Deems Taylor. De­signed for adults, “Fantasia” is a symphony between book covers. Compacts this season have become quite exciting and extra­ordinary affairs. I have in mind three in particular that caught my. fancy. One is leather covered with a carved horse’s head on the top. Very sporty from out­side appearances, yet the inside is strictly feminine and dainty. The second one has a tiny light bulb that illuminates the mirror, so that milady will be able to give her nose one final glance even in the dark, and make certain she looks her best. The third has a tiny watch hidden under the cover! Practical yet exquisite!
