Shoo Rationing Is an Old Story. : To Our Cousins in Great Britain
THE AMERICAN WOMAN'S new problem of shoe rationing is an old story to her British cousin—but it’s still a problem, although somewhat different from that in the United States.
In Britain there are no separate coupons for buying shoes—they are ™
part of the general clothes rationing system. To buy one pair of shoes,
DEAR JANE JORDAN — My: mother and father are divorced and: I live . with mother although my] father has helped to support me, I! graduated from high school last
-June and have been working in ah
office for four months.. Mother has
" been going with a man for over
three years and I.dislike him very much. You probably will think 1 am Jealous but really it isn’t /that. Mother has worked hard and I like to see her enjoy herself but she goes out three and four nights a week and leaves me at home alone. She goes to taverns and dances and private parties where they drink ‘and play cards. Some of my girl friends are always throwing things up to me and I feel that I am losing my respect Here is what really hurts me. I overheard the conversation of several of her friends and they said they thought this man would marry mother if it wasn’t for me. If I thought that she really wanted to marry him I suppose I could live with my father who lives in another state but I hate to give up my job and all of my. best friends who live here. I know I could never live with mother if she married him,
” 2 Answer—The spot ‘you are in is more or less temporary and time will correct it. The unhappiness you feel is due to the fact that you are taking leave of childhood and getready to face the world alone. not easy for any girl to break Y emotional ties which bind her ome and mother. Under nor-
‘mal circumstances where they live
together in a loving relationship, the break is made so gradually that no painful wrench is felt. Your situation is made more difficult by the fact that you not only have to give up your mother, but you also have to give her up to a
.man. Now; it just isn’t in the cards
for you to like the man, regardless of his merits. You don’t think you are jealous, but you know you feel resentment. : Try to let go of your mother. Lead your own life and let her lead
hers. Increase your interests so
that your time is so filled with other things that you won't miss her so much. Another ‘solution is for you to live somewhere else. If you are selfsupporting you can pay your board in some inexpensive establishment for girls such as the Y. W. C. A. JANE JORDAN.
‘ every Briton must give up five of the year’s supply of 51 coupons—
which have to supply not only
i clothing, shoes and handkerchiefs,
but towels, dusters and furnishing fabrics, too Even if a woman in Britain were foolish enough to want to spend many coupons for shoes, she still would have difficulty in getting them, for the board of trade has stated that the manufacture of [shoes in England is sufficient only to supply 1.75 pairs. per head of ' population. Besides, shoe rationing in England applies not only to outdoor | shoes, but to infants’ soft sole shoes, house slippers, sports shoes of all kinds and rubbers.
#
Troubles— AND SHE HAS her troubles with
items other than ‘shoes. For instance, in 1943, she will only be able to get one lipstick instead of the
four which were her normal average in peacetime. She’ll have very little face powder, because almost all of the powder is now saved for babies; and there will be no more powder puffs, or powder bowls in which: to keep her scant supply. Ordinary household articles which have always been taken for granted are becoming rarities now. Only one clock is being manufactured where four were before. If Mrs. Citizen wants a new wash cloth, she’ll have to make it herself out of an old towel as the manufacture of wash cloths is to cease.
And More Troubles—
IN THE KITCHEN, the inevitable tea kettle has become an object to be treated with: loving care, for its life must stretch out for six years now. Tea cups, once broken, cannot be replaced except. by han-dle-less cups. Ash-trays cannot be replaced. There will be no more traveling trunks or cigaret cases, neckties or drinking glasses, lawn mowers or electric irons. And a girl who is getting married can’t expect any jewelry other than a very plain wedding ring.

Beauty—
Baby-Fine Skin Needs Care
"By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer THERE'S a prominent feminjne public figure who looks, at . first glance, surprisingly commonplace. She has quite usual brown hair and eyes; and no striking nose or | mouth. But a second glance defines her striking physical asset—a babyfine skin, very fair, and radiant as an infant's. Many women have such a skin but do not make much of it. They let it go. And this type of skin does go if it’s neglected. It tends to become dry and flaked, to wrinkle. This sometimes leads brunet beauties, usually possessed of less fine and fair complexions, to remark: But blonds do fade quick-
neglected hair and skin. The baby-! fine skin which is properly cared for will keep its possessor looking much younger han hes years.
"THIS COMPLEXION, like any, must be kept scrupulously clean: A clogged pore or blackhead in it is visible afar. Healthy, this skin needs only a very mild soap and water, or light cream for cléansing —but regularly and gently. Do not rub, stretch or pull, for often there's less elasticity to this skin, You might find it useful to wash it with your palms instead of a cloth. A facial treatment in the beauty shop’ or at home, finished with ice patted over the surface inside of a soft cloth, helps to keep the texture fine and fresh. Outstanding houses miake special preparations for fine, sensitive skins. One regular baby soap and cleansing oil is suggested. Healthy, fine skin is washed with the delicate] soap, then the light oil is applied.
With very dry skin, the oil stays : |on overnight. :
