We, the Women— To Women And Single—

By RUTH MILLETT SHE IS 30; she hasn't married

and so she has decided that she

‘wever will. ; And since that is her state of mind, she probably won't. For that d conviction is influencing every decision s h e makes.

She has de-

cided to work

toward a Ph.D. —which is as good as a public announcement that she isn’t in the mar-

riage market—

and she has decided to make

teaching her

life's work—a job that reRuth Millett duces to a minimum the number of eligible men a girl meets. ; She has also joined a couple of high-minded women’s organizations that she wouldn't have wasted time on when she still thought there was a good chance for marriage. Her associates aren't the type to bring out any gaiety or lightness in her nature, and as time goes on she will find that she is conforming to their conception of what the ideal woman should be. Needless -to say, their conception of the ideal woman wouldn't be shared by one man in a hundred. ”n ” ” { ALSO SHE HAS STARTED re- # (ferring to herself jokingly as “an old maid.” That in itself is almost fatal to a woman's marriage chances. Because she isn't mare ried at 30 she has given up hope and started to turn herself into a sure~enough old maid. © What other course could she have taken? Well, she could have refused to look on 30, 85, or any age, as a time when a woman might as well stop counting on marriage. If she had done that she would have turned thumbs down on any thought of spending the youngest ‘years she had left grinding away toward an advanced college degree. And she would have skipped school teaching.

” ” ” SHE WOULD HAVE looked at all the jobs open to women that let them work side by side with men, and she would have gone out after some such job as that. « Then she would have steered clear of identifying herself with a group of women who have fewer-than-average marriage chances, and made her friends among a livelier, more frivolous group. _. Never would she call herself an old maid—or even think of herself as one. (If that had been her attitude she would have a good chance of finding a husband—but as it is now her prospects are mighty Slim,

the meat market. - Even for hot weather meals, there should be one hot dish on the menu. A hot vegetable, such as escalloped potatoes, or creamed peas or green beans au gratin, can be brought to the table in the dish in which it is cooked and served with the cold meat. With a lettuce and tomato salad, and fresh fruit for dessert, you have a well-balanced and also very easily prepared menu for a summer’ day. A gelatin salad,” in a ring mold, makes an attractive accompaniment. Try this: Buffet Platter

The Question Box

Q—Is it true that there will soon be a scarcity of toiletries, such as lipstick, cleansing cream, powders, ete.?

A—The division of industry operations of the WPB says that adequate supplies of these articles will probably be available if women use no more than they actually need. They caution, however, that there must be no ,waste of containers, many of which will no longer be manufactured because of metal and plastic shortages. If women will turn in these used containers they will probably be able to buy adequate quantities of refills. This procedure has been adopted in Eng land since the outbreak of the war, and is a practice which has generally been followed on the European continent for years.

Q-—Is the announced rationing or limitation of purchases of coffee due to a shortage of the coffee crop? A—No. Brazil and other producing countries have a plentiful supply of coffee. Any shortage in the United States is due to lack of shipping facilities.

Q—We have a couple of goldfish and I.never know whether I have given them enough food. How much should they have a day? ~~ A—Feed them lightly, about once a day and only enough then so that all of it is consumed within 5 to 10

DEAR JANE JORDAN-—I am a widow 50 years old. My husband died two years ago. Since then I have divided my time between my daughter and my son, both of whom are married. The first year I lived

with my son where I was not happy. He is very proud and ambitious and quite anxious to maintain a good social position. Consequently he lives beyond his means and I feel

like an extra financial burden which he cannot afford.

The second year I lived with my daughter where I felt more useful because I could help her with little children. Actually my daughter and my son-in-law cannot afford to support me either, but I do not feel quite such a burden as I do in my son’s home. . Now that so many new jobs have opened up for women I have a chance to get permanent employment as a saleswoman and would not have to be dependent on either of my children. I could live alone and support myself. My son objects and feels that the fact that his mother works would affect his social aspirations. He wants me to come and spend the next year in his home. I do not want to go because I feel that if the truth were known he and his wife do’ not want me. They just don't want the embarrassment of having to admit that I work. Would I be justified in going against his wishes and taking the job which I want very much? WIDOW. 8 2 ” Answer: Certainly you should take the job. It is ridiculous for your

{son to object on any grounds, but

particularly ridiculous for him to worry about his personal prestige. Besides, he is wrong about the way people regard a working woman. Your decision to earn your own living and stand on your own two feet will elicit nothing but admiration from everyone, even the most snobbish. Wartime is the heyday of ‘the working woman. All the popular opprobrium is saved for the useless, the parasitic, for the slackers who refuse to co-operate in the gigantic war effort. Women are desperately needed to take the places of men who have joined the armed forces or who are otherwise engaged in working for the government. Far from being embarrassed, your son should point with pride to his mothér who is too active and ambitious to depend on her children, If I:e cannot feel this way, it is his bad luck, but there is no reason in the world why you should live a miserable life in order to cater to his false pride. Even if he had all the money in the world, you would still have a right to occupy yourself in a gainful manner if this is what would make your life seem full and useful. JANE JORDAN.

Bare Radiator Can Be Camouflaged

Routines for Improving

The Legs

By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer NEW YORK, July 3.—Beauty rites for the bare leg vogue get more complicated by the day, If longstemmed American beauties are going to strip their stéms this summer there's more than a sun-tan-ning job to be done. Leg exercises, defuzzing, a “stocking fizz” (liquid makeup applied by an atomizer) and a complete array of foot masks, toenail powder, leg lotions, are now among the beauty services offered to make up for the illusion of silk or nylon hose. Cosmetic counters are supplied with a variety of liquid and paste makeup that mimic hose. There’s- no doubt the stocking situation has Miss America legconscious. My mail is full of things like this: ° “If I had nice-sized legs I could go without stockings happily.”

Building Up or Down

Some girls want to trim down their legs. A surprisingly large number ask how to build up. Both types can do it with exercise. It may seem odd but it is true that some exercises, performed a certain way, will add to muscles, and others will take away from them. One salon suggests using the same tautly-stretchy gadget, a cord with a lot of spring in it and with looped ends, whether your underpinnings are too slight or too solid. But, of course, different exercises are selected, and they're ‘done dif ferently. ES = Expansion Routines

Here are two routines for expanding legs: Stand with arms raised preferably balanced comfortably with a cord, Then lunge forward on left

leg. Try to lift the torso up as you lunge, and, most important, put all the steam you can into ‘the lunge. Return to first position; lunge to the right; return, and continue this with alternate legs. Do this quickly and forcefully about 10 times. Then do this deep knee-bend. Withegone leg behind the other, bend on toes and place hands on floor in front of you. Now quickly rise on toes to standing-tiptoe position. Repeat swiftly till you feel definitely tired especially at ankles and knees. Trimming Down

The principle is reversed for trimming down—that is, here you should employ relatively slow, repetitious movements which, over ga long stretch, consume the energy

which otherwise would be stored up as fat. To reduce the entire leg, and especially the thigh, sit on the floor with weight on the right hip. Slip feet through loops of the cord and support yourself partly on right hand, on floor. Now, bring the left foot and arm up, scissor like, very slowly, and slowly return to original position. Repeat for 10 to 15 minutes, or as long as you can, comfortably, and reverse. Then lie on your back, on floor or bed, legs in air, and repeat the slow scissors motion. This is Suggested especially for reducing fat around the knees and calves. The knees should be held straight, Meanwhile you might remember: Enhance the surface and you enhance all. First, off with the stubble. Step two is the liquid or paste stocking. These preparations come in a variety of shades, quite like stocking colors. If you want to avoid getting the stuff on your hands spray the leg liquid on with an atomizer. All of these preparations look best on naturally sun-tanned legs. In fact, all. are advocated for use while you're tanning.

Knitted Protectors

Women who want something between feet and shoes—and who doesn’t for comfort?—will welcome little knitted feet protectors. There are a few silk and nylon ones; there's cotton for the big bysiness. All fit smoothly over the sole and toes. They're a health essential for bare-legged girls who mean to ward off troublesome foot infections.

And then he paid tribute to Mr. Murray and his love of freedom which sent him to war—a war from which he knew he would not return, for so he wrote his father.
