“Glamour Girl’ ‘May Soon Be Slam . World Seems Bored With Them
[ By RUTH MILLETT A NEW GLAMOUR GIRL NO. 1 Was chosen from among New York's debutantes the other day—and it hardly created a ripple in the day’s
Chances are her reign will be She last, for the world seems to be Pretty bored with glamour girls. * Besides, there is less and less place for them in the scheme of things as national defense gogs forward and Americans begin . seriously to think of- a woman's worth in terms of what useful ofcupation she can perform, rather. than how photogenic she hap- _ pens to be. i - With college girls learning to fly planes, to take an automobile engine a and put it together i ousewives getting in-|. in canning and. planning lanced meals and seeing just far they can stretch a budget, with girls and women moving into ~ men’s jobs by the thousands and proving that they - are competent enough to do men’s work and do i¢ well, a glamour girl sounds sort of silly. re 2 ” ” . + NOW that competence in women | is being admired, the girls are bound to start trying to outdo each other
in preparing themselves for useful work. Soon, it is safe to bet, it will ‘be an insult to dub a girl a “glamour That is already true in London, where the girl who gets her picture in the paper is the girl who works in _a factory, drives an ambulance, or -ferries airplanes. The helpless, use_less clothes horse who spends her time going to parties and dodging work is looked on with something “like contempt. 5.

Quick Cookery Wit Electrical Aids Up-to-the-minute electrical appli‘ances, both for the preparation of food and the actual cooking of it, make entertainment these days a real pleasure.

By MARY WELLS, RIDLEY Times Special Writer
NEW YORK, Sept. 25—The basic black dress, being exactly that, 1s designed deliberately to be a versatile background for whatever touches you can corral from the accessory counter. So a woman finds her own way of making her particular first fall outfit look just a little different. Jewelry presents prime possibilities. With slim, black, untrimmed necklines, and no color, the more significant pins and necklaces and rings and bracelets naturally make the richest splash. Huge stones provide the color accent; rhinestones the glitter; metals the heavy importance of design that's so

Great Britain
Anthony J. Drexel-Biddle, wife of Allied Governments, American women are tremendously interested in what the women of Britain are doing, how they have organized themselves for war effort and what the effect of the war has been on the women’s activities both in the home and in business, Mrs. Biddle said. “The best way for them to learn is through women’s clubs which reach into every town and farm community in the United States. ° American women are best able to interpret the activities of the British and allied women and, through the study of those activities, to see how American women can organize themselves in the nation’s emergency. Thus a tour by 10 leading women here would assist them more than if British women were to go to the United States to tell them.
British Women Pioneer
“From a practical point of view British women have established new precedents of activity,” Mrs. Biddle declared. “They are the pioneers of today. They have torn down a whole century of prejudice. . . and what might have taken years of trial and endeavor has been. accomplished in a few months.” The 10 women’s organizations which Mrs. Biddle suggested might be interested in the activities of their counterparts here are: The National League of Women Voters, the General Federation of Women's

British Women May Invite Representatives of 10 American

By HELEN KIRKPATRICK Copyright, 1941, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Ine. LONDON; Sept. 25.—The International Women’s Service Groups in may invite representatives of 10 leading American women’s organizations to visit England as a result of the suggestion by Mrs.
the American Ambassador to the
Clubs, the American Association’ of University Women, the National Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs, the. Women’s Trade Union League, the Y. W. C.

BEAUTY
IT NEVER is exactly simple for the career girl to go directly from
office to cocktail or dinner date
looking as fresh, rested and clean as the girl who has been at home
all afternoon, bathing, doing her face, pressing her clothes and what not. However, it is not a problem which can’t be solved. Thousands do solve it—every day—but only because they are far-sighted and have learned a few tricks and short cuts to good grooming. . Among the grooming tricks many a career woman employs are: Keeping a pair of clean stockings, a pair of clean white gloves and g clean handkerchief in the drawer of her desk. Having handy a makeup kit which contains cooling skin lotion, a bottle of eye-wash, a deoderant and a small bottle of lightly-scented cologne as well as cleansing cream, foundation, powder, rouge and hand lotion. 2 8 = : THE ABILITY to remove chipped or cracked nail polish and replace it with a fresd coat in record time. The ability to close her eyes, put her head on her arms and relax completely for five minutes before putting on fresh makeup. In addition, she knows how to brush her hair in such a way that excess oil is removed but the wave isn’t. . wi She can hurry through face and neck cleaning, hair brushing and making up without getting jittery and just about tearful. She can turn sleeves inside out and finger press the wrinkles out of them. What: she can’t: do, however, is have a dress cleaned or a coat pressed between five and the. dinner hour, This is where her farsightedness comies in handy. She keeps her wardrobe in order all of the time—she has to—and so never goes to the office in a dress that isn’t clean enough to wear: out to dinner or a coat that is badly
wrinkled. 3

JANE JORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN-—My husband and I both work and I go home from work to get our evening meal as quickly as possible. Now I have a problem which has caused two or three terrible arguments in our home. My husband thinks it is correct for him to invite a guest for dinner and tell me about his plan just a few hours before dinner time on the day the guest is invited. I feel that I should be given some consideration before he invites anyone and if he does ask someone before consulting me that I should be informed of it as quickly as possible and that he should not wait a day or two until I just have time to rush home, change my planned menu and try to get dinner before the guest arrives. If I knew the evening before that I was going to’ have a guest I would have an opportunity to plan a menu and have a nice dinner, _ but this thing of having to change everything at the last minute is far from my idea of being right. The last time this happened, I was very disturbed, and as a result my husband took his guest out to dinner, leaving me at.home. He asked the person one day and told me the next afternoon. Which of us is right? . WORKING WIFE.

: Answer—Any jury of women would acquit you and convict your husband on the first vote. But if you were to get justice from a jury of men they would have to be COOKS. Almost every man dreams of a home where he can ask anyone at any time to dinner.and have the right food miraculously appear on the table like manna dropping from heaven, served by a fresh and spotless wife who never gets tired, hot or rumpled. He is as ignorant as a baby of the mechanics of cooking a dinner, It never occurs to him that food has to be bought, delivered, prepared and served, and that each process takes time. His idea of entertaining, if he has an idea, is to open a can of beans and pass the bologna. Yet this type of dinner would not satisfy him or make him feel proud of his home. : - Perhaps his mother allowed him unlimited freedom in asking a guest to dinner. He never stops to think that she was at home all day, prepared for a larger family so that there nearly always was: enough for one extra. In case she, too, asked for suitable notice, he disregards her reasons and still expects his wife to be endowed with magical powers. Your husband is J the impossible. His attitude is inconsiderate, childish and ignorant. Every wife worth her salt has pride in her table and needs time to lay her plans and show her prowess. Where she works all day as you do, there is a certain amount of last-minute picking up and straightening around to do before a guest arrives. Her appearance, too, is important. She can’t work, keep a house, prepare a dinner and still present a calm, unruffled Sppeasepes yates time lo get nized. Even a paid cook wo quit under such cirBe a Pa JANE JORDAN.

New Insecticide Is Almost Odorless
Entomologists give astoundingly startling statistics regarding the enormous birthrate among common household pests. Household pests are, naturally, more prevalent during warm summer weather, but some, such as moths and roaches, are noticeably active during winter
months as well. Neglect of proper extermination scan have disastrous results—infested premises, destroyed property. A new, inexpensive liquid insecticide to be sprayed on infested areas,
is said to destroy both the vermin|
and larvae quickly and thoroughly, to be non-poisonous (important where there are children and household pets), to be without unpleasant
odor and to be harmless to wood-| furniture, |
