‘Dress Reform Should Begin In Hollywood’
By MRS. WALTER FERGUSON Times Special Writer “FORGET GLAMOUR and sex appeal,” cautions Miss ‘Dorothy Sells of the office of defense transportation. “There’s too much emphasis on well-filled sweaters, natty uniforms and smart appearance.” Why doesn’t somebody talk to Hollywood about this? = Miss Sells and the rest of officialdom should know that our girls fashion their looks and behavior after the mov- § ing-picture stars, And it would be useless to deny that part of the} glamour which§ attends the “lig-$ uoring up” process comes from the same source. Kids who watch their favorite actress imbibe vast quantities of wet goods, without much ill effect, think they can go and do likewise. In the picture “Casablanca,” Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman watch the ‘surrender of Paris with a champagne cocktail in each hand. If we can believe the movies,
have little food but the inhabitants bear the shock of conquest and the misery of starvation with the help of strong :irink,
\® ® ‘»
AS FOR “GLAMOUR, our starlets never drop theirs, as everybody knows. We see them emerge from falling buildings with every hair in place, looking as if they had just stepped out of Adrian’s salon.
The common citizens all around are often ruffled, if not actually battered, but never ‘our heroines. Cool, collected, with perfect permanents and up-to-the second gowns, they roam through Europe’s devastation with the serenity and shine of celestial untouchables.
Occasionally a director will permit one to have a smudge on her nose, but to be seen in run-down heels or a badly “cut frock—that, it must be presumed, would be a shock too hard for cash customers to bear. As many people have already pointed out, drinking is associated with glamour on the moving-picture screen. It is casual, universal, harmless, and uplifting, if we can believe the script writers. And who are we to argue with men and women who have attained fame and fortune by selling sex appeal? If Washington wants to promote feminine ruggedness, it should begin its reforms in Hollywood.

Only two irregularities went down on her “gig” sheet as she toured the barracks where the girls’ doubledecker bunks had been carefully made. Duffle bags were tied to one end of the bunks, shoes ranged tidily underneath. There were only a few high heels on the “party” shoes, although WAACs may wear civvies when off ‘the post on pass. ” ” ” : IN THE BARRACKS basement, WAAC laundry hung in neat lines.

Beauty— Salons Teach Home Beauty Treatments
By ALICIA HART Times Special Writer THE NECESSITIES of wartime living, speed, practicability, efficiency, are leading many women back to school “to learn about beauty, as well as about machines and mathematics.
Fifth ave. salons are doing a large new war business in teaching women how to take care of themselves at home. Basic, professional, solig knowledge of personal groom=ing and health simply is a “must” nowadays. A leading expert has three “efficiency plan” courses. They are scaled to three budget levels, but each “provides basic training in healthful, proper enhancement, chiefly by means of care of the figure, the complexion, and the hair. Similar courses are offered in a number of cities, and I would advise the woman who sincerely wants to be practical about beauty to take one. From here to victory, you will find professional training
in beauty technique among the|; most down-to-earth economies in|.
any woman's book. And if you are beyond reach of such training, then it’s in order to teach yourself some basic methods. ; 2 ” » »
THE SAME HOUSE now will help you with home beauty-training by giving instruction blueprints with the facial care kit which is part of the equipment for two of the salon courses. These are available at toilet counters, as well as in salons. Treatment of various types of skin is described.’ Exercises are provided for general pep-up purposes, for reducing and for maintaining, or‘achieving, the foot and leg strength which, the expert says, is essential to “a patriot’s walk.” You might like to begin a home exercise program with one of the general - conditioners used in the courses. Stand erect with hands clasped high overhead, abdomen pulled in, spine erect. Count one and bend the right side. Count two and roll forward. Count three and bend to left side. Count four and stretch up straight. Relax, alternate, ‘and repeat four times. Leg muscles which protest against your shift from high to low heels will respond to an exercise called “triangle walk.” Stand erect, bend forward and place hands on ankles. Keep your head close to your knees, and keep knees straight. Walk out on hands, right, then left, then back to first bending position. Stand erect again. Repeat 10 times.
