APRIL 8, ICIS_

Advocate of Slim Figure Celebrates Sylvia, Who Takes Care of Film Stars, Has Birthday Party. BY HELEN WORDEN Time* Special Writer NEW YORK, April B—Sylvia, Hollywood's streamline figure stabilizer, celebrated her fifty-fourth birthday. Saturday, In the pasteltinted sky salon of the St. Moritz. One hundred men and women, any one of whom, could have pinchhit for a model in a match-factory, attended, each an example of the volatile, golden-haired, little Sylvia’s art. While they sang, “Happy Birthday to You, Dear Sylvia,” she flitted from cake to cake, blowing out the fifty-four candles and calling on her friends to make wishes. “Can we eat this, Sylvia?” the guests asked, when the cake was pasted. "Yes,” she said. “Today is a special occasion!” Raw vegetables, fresh salads and non-starch crackers are part of Sylvia’s doctrine. Puts Health First "Health Is the first principle," she says. Her tape measure and not the scales govern her rules for the perfect figure. “Woman’s most appealing height for the men runs between 5 feet 2 and 4. But if the tall girl is slim, she has possibilities!” Sylvia develops the come-hithcr silhouette. For proof, gaze upon Jean Harlow, Constance Bennett, Grace Moore, Joan Crawford. Gloria Swanson and Norma Shearer. In the 15 years of her career she has averaged 10 pupils a day. “I look upon a human figure as a piece of flesh, which I must mold to the best advantage of its structure!” She frowns on that haggard, worn-out, weary expression. “There 1s no excuse for these things! When I work. I consider the camera my greatest critic!” Leslie Howard, Ronald Colman, Jack Holt, Ramon Navarro and Lawrence Tibbett count a Sylvia facial more essential than a makeup. Shunned No Food I believe exercise as well as diet and massage rate heavily in the Sylvia routine. I sat next to Lawrence Tibbett at a dinner party the Herbert Witherspoons gave. He ate everything from soup to nuts. Perhaps, like Sylvia's birthday party, he ranked the dinner a "special occasion.” On the other hand, I had lunch at Frieda Hempef’s, when that blond-haired song-bird was first going through Sylvia's course of sprouts. The main dish was a huge bowl of finely chopped fresh vegetable salad, mixed with a dressing of olive oil, lemon and honey! An extra 10 pounds dogs my haphazard attempts to retain a streamline figure. “I could make those pounds disappear in one week!” Sylvia eyed me sevei'ely. “It is very’ simple!” I thought of Frieda Hempel’s lunch. “It seems hard to me,” I said. MISS LUEDEMANN WILL BE BRIDE Mrs. Edward W. Luedemann entertained last week-end with a bridge party to announce the engagement of her daughter, Miss Helen Mary Luedemann, to Christian J.

BEGIN HEBE TODAY. Greatly duappotmed In a love aß.lr with Bartlett Ralaton. brilliant young doctor. Irene Oardner deaerta her career as a nurse to become an air stewardess with a Ban Francisco air line. She steels herself against the pilot and co-pllot hazard, but seea no harm in playing the iame of love as men want to play it—lrt and forget. Another air stewardess. Virginia Catheart. invites Irene to live In the apartment which she shares with Eve Meadows, and Irene gladly moves. During Irene's first evening In her new home, she dines with Virginia and her fiance. Bill Naughton. Eve arrives later, and after being introduced to Irene, announces mournfully that she Is in love. NOW GO ON WITH THE STOET. CHAPTER FOUR. EVE’S confession that she was in iove again was received with a shout of laughter. “Who is it this time, you fickle female?” Bill chuckled. “It hasn’t been a month since you completely lost your heart to a traveling salesman.” “He was not!” the girl denied indignantly. “He has the agency for some kind of a vacuum cleaner on the whole Pacific Coast.” “What happened to him?” Virginia demanded, scrubbing the sink. Eve took a dainty bite of chocolate cake and smiled appreciatively. "This is good. Well, nothing happened that I know of except he’s gone to Los Angeles. He’ll be back in a ccuple of weeks.” “And when the cat's away,” Bill suggested. ' Eve shrugged. “I can’t sit home every night In the week, can I?” “Did you ever?” “Sunday night, last week and tonight. But tomorrow night . . .” ‘Yes, yes, child! Tell us all.” “I’ve a date with a friend of my boss. You ought to see him. He’s a big lumberman from Seattle.” “Probably married and has 14 kids,” Bill reminded her. “Oh, no, he’s not. I asked Mr. Humphrey, just to be certain.” "Cautious little Eve takes no chances,” approved Virginia. “Husbands are out of my line,” agreed the girl. When the dishes were finished and the kitchen restored to the degree of orderliness which Virginia considered necessary, Irene and Evq went to the bedroom Irene was to share with Virginia. “I’m glad you’re here,” Eve said impulsively. “Since Paula was married Virginia ha;, been worrying about the expense.” <■ “I never worry over anything myself,” she continued, with one of her dazzling smiles. “It doesn’t get you anywhere.” "That’s true enough,” Irene agreed. Eve lighted a cigaret and flopped upon , one of the beds. “She’d like to be married, Virginia, I mean. But Bill thinks he can’t afford it. It’s really too bad because if ever a girl was cut out to be a wife Virginia is.” Irene said she could understand that. In spite of the shortness of their acquaintance she liked Virginia better the more she saw of her. There was a fineness about her entirely lacking in this other girl, although Eve’s beauty was undeniable. "I wish she’d take her feet off that spread,” Irene was thinking as Eve drawled. “I suppose you’re anxious to go to bed.” “I am tired.” Irene admitted. “And I’m leaving ior Los Angeles at 8:40 tomorrow morning.” She wound the small green and gold clock which belonged to the toilet set. “That means I’ll have to get up before 7.” "It must be plenty exciting at that,” Eve said rising. “I mean I wish I could sail around in the sky the way you girls do, meeting interesting men and having affairs with the pilots.” Irene laughed. “Well, so far I haven’t seen a man, either passenger or pilot, I’d want to have an affair with.” “You will,” Eve assured her. The funny part of it was she did meet an interesting man oil her plane the very next day. Absorbed in her duties Irene had not given him a thought. It was the passenger across from him who attracted her attention. n u 'T'HE plane was mounting higher and higher to clear the Tehachapi Mountains 9000 feet—while the man sitting in the front seat stared at the altimeter with a strained frightened attention. Irene saw him wet his lips and feel of his pulse with a shaking 1 hand. His face was white. The girl watching him did not need to ask to know that this was his first airi plane trip. "He’s scared to death,” she de- ; cided. “Afraid this swift climbing is going to bring on a heart attack.” His lips were so pale, his mouth so drawn that she knew an instant’s fear herself. Suppose he did have a weak heart! In his present disj traught condition anything might happen. Without stopping to question him she went to the front of the plane and tapped the altimeter. Then she |opened the door and spoke to the pilot. m “A man is about to die of fright back here. Afraid of the altitude. O. K. if I tell him it’s out of order?” Bruce Boynton grinned. "Sure. Turn it down if you like.” Returning to the altimeter she turned it back to 6000 feet. The passenger summoned her. “Whats the matter?” he gasped. Irene smiled. “This altimeter seems to be out of order. I knew we couldn't be going es high as that.” Drops of perspiration stood out on his face as with a relieved sigh he sank back into his seat. It was

then that the man across the aisle from him beckoned to her. When she was perched on the arm of his seat beyond danger of being overheard, he chuckled, “You little liar! You know we’re flying more than 9000 feet.” She did not attempt to deny it. “Os course, bat if he’s going to worry p.bout it. ... ”

She had time then to see that this man was an unusually attractive looking person with dark blue eyes in a thin brown face. His clothes were faultless. His long hands shapely and. well-manicured. Mentally she ran over the passenger list but could not recall his name. “How long will you be in Lo 6 Angeles?” he asked. “Until 4.”

His pleasant face brightened. “Long enough to have lunch with me if you will. Or is that against the rules?” “We are allowed to make our own rules after working hours!” “Then, will you?” His smile was not flirtatious. Merely friendly and interested. “I’m sorry,” she said and meant it. “But I haven't any other clothes with me.” “Will you in San Francisco then? After I return?” “I’d love to,” she answered. MM* BUT although she gave him her telephone number arid looked on the passenger list to learn that his name was Clarence Turner, she didn’t expect to hear from him again. She had learned in the hospital that men’s ideas about such things were subject to change. She was really surprised when after her return from San Diego two days later he called her. “How about having lunch with me tomorrow?” “How did you know tomorrow would be my day off?” she laughed. “Oh, I’m clever that way. Will jrou. Miss Gardner?” His invitation delighted her and luncheon in San Francisco would be a treat after her week’s work. She promised to meet him at the St, Francis, but they lunched at Camille’s. Irene liked the quiet-voiced way in which he managed to obtain the best service. She told herself it would be fun to go places with a man who had plenty of money as well as the knowledge of how to spend it. There weren’t so many of them nowadays. Their conversation which had begun impersonally remained so. Her companion seemed to enjoy'talking about nothing to this pretty girl in her trim black suit and turned back hat. And when luncheon was over he bought her gardenias which matched the cream colored frills of her blouse and put her in a taxi headed for the ferry. “You’re sure there’s nothing else you want to do?” “Not today.” “I feel flattered.” he said, with his pleasant smile, “that you should have crossed the bay just to have lunch with me.” “It was worth it,” she answered. His blue eyes danced as he leaned closer. “Then may I call you again soon?" “I wish you would,” she replied truthfully. She even liked the way he lifted his hat and walked toward Market street. He had told her he was a stock broker and it pleased her that he was..not a professional man. She told herself she was done forever with doctors and such. They were too absorbed in their work to make love to any woman, even their wives. Yet in spite of this when she reached the ferry she found herself dism : ssing her taxi and taking a stret. car for the hospital. (To Be Continued.)
