Star's 'Recipe’ for Glamorous Motherhood

Ci

Ca

The glamorous mother here is actress Jane Greer. Her post-pregnancy exercise routine in-

cluded such figure-restoring exercises as the one she's doing above.

By JANE GREER KNOW THAT TAKING CARE of a newborn baby keeps a mother on the go 24 hours a day. And few of us would miss the joyful experience. However, we owe it to our families and to ourselves not to neglect our health and

appearance during the busy months that fol-

low the birth of a baby. My second baby, & husky boy named Lawrence, was born in October.

Here's a star's personal recipe for glamorous motherhood—the first of three exclusive articles by RKO actress Jane Greer on the post-pregnancy routine every woman can follow to restore her beauty and keep her health after her baby is born. The second and third articles in the series will appear tomorrow and Tuesday.

My older son, Albert, is just past 2 years old. So you can see I have my hands full even with a competent nurse to help. Because I wanted to resume my career in pictures, I asked the doctor to outline a post-

pregnancy routine that would restore my fig-

ure and keep me healthy and full of pep. The routine of exercise, diet and ‘rest I follow is fairly typical of what a doctor orders for the average mother.

» # ” MY DOCTOR PERMITTED me to return to work when the baby was 3 months old. Currently, I am acting as a star in “The Wall Outside.” Although the first three months after delivery are the most important in postpregnancy care, the doctor advised me to continue my routine for six months. Two days after Larry's arrival, the doctor told me to start “exercising.” This meant merely tensing and pulling in abdominal muscles. As I grew stronger, more exercises were added. For one routine, I raised and lowered each leg alternately. Later, I raised and lowered both legs together. Next on the list was to pull myself to a sitting position and stretch to touch my toes, The doctor explained that nature works rapidly to restore tissues to pre-pregnancy size and strength. The purpose of these exercises was to speed and guide nature's work, If you wait for several months to start tightening up weakened muscles, you're likely to have to work twice as hard for results.

» ” ” ¥OR TWO WEEKS, I exercised lying flat in bed. Then I shifted to a beach mat on the floor because the hard surface offers more resistance to muscles.

The Whole Family, From The Baby On Up, S

Jane is shown for the first time with her new sen, Lawrence, born last October. Brother Albert is 2.

= Few of us need any envouragement to roll over on our stomachs it's been =o long since we've been able to! The doctor approved this, He said it was helpful in restoring organs to proper position. I sleep on my stomach and end each exercise period with a five-minute rest stretched out face down. I started doing my daily dozen very slowly for 10 minutes twice each day. Now I have one exercise period a day. The doctor warned me to stop as soon as I felt the least bit tired. The important thing, he said, was to do a few exercises consistently,

Bob and Bill Fisher, Steve Wainwright, Mary Johnson Schaff, Betty Lee Washburn Jordan and Ann Atkins

Clark were among those in the group of 40. Its enrollment has been cut purposely from 85 to 65 this

~year but at that the camp iz no longer little. In fact, even the

“little” has been dropped from the name since older boys objected. Herb and Dee Sweet own and run the camp. It was founded 18 years ago and is the oldest day camp in the country

under the original director.

On a recent Sunday the clans, present and ex, gathered, 450 strong, for a pienie lunch and a day of fun. John Appel was the only son of a camper. His mother, Martha Ann Schaf

Appel, was one of the early recruits,

Among the families on

hand were the Earl Larsens, the John Fenstermakers and the

Garvin Daglishes,

The youngest Daglish, aged one-and-a-half,

made an enormous hit in a Hopalong Cassidy outfit. The main event was the showing of slides=of the children engaged in

current camp activities.

» » ” » ” » THE WORLD situation has decided many people against

going abroad this summer,

Ava Saunders Davis Kysar gave a

“not-going-away” party last Wednesday after canceling her trip.

Her invitations for cocktails in the pergola were black-bordered. She wore a strapless dress, bought especially for dining in Paris. Heberton Weiss brought a corsage tied with black ribbon accompanied by a sympathy card. It was one of a collection of amusing gifts

_ that included the new “Guide

to America.” Among the guests were Dickie and Bud Bookwalter, Ethel Janet and Lucius Ham{lton and the Alec Carrolls.

Off to Michigan

MRS, Joseph J. Daniels and Katharine, who returned recently from Europe, stayed home just long enough to get their breath before taking off to Harbor Springs, Mich. Mrs. Robert B. Falley has gone to her Harbor Springs cottage. Her sister, Mrs. Lew Wallace, who was here with her a couple of weeks, has gone up, too. : It has been nice to ses Terry Metcalf around town, She has been with her mother, Mrs. Woods Caperton, at the Marott Hotel.

Mr. and Mrs. Mayer are in Chicago this week-end as are Mr. and Mrs. Earl Barnes. : We dined with them in the country on Wednesday night where Mrs. Mayer wore a lovely violet linen dress, accented with a bunch of deeper violets at the V of her neckline, and matching linen shoes, Mr. and Mrs. Barnes had an interesting crossing on the Queen Mary. The Duke and Duchess of Windsor and a well-known bride and bridegroom, Nick and Elizabeth Taylor Hilton, were on board. The two women made an interesting contrast, the bride with her fluffy trousseau and the Duchess, famous for the simplicity of her clothes.

Diven House Party

WHILE on clothes we must note Marian Fotheringham's

unusual jacket bought in Prague long ago. The material looks . like. loosely

woven burlap and is covered with fascinating figures of men and women done in brightly colored gros point. Irving Moxley Diven has opened the old family summer place at Brockville on the St. Lawrence where she is having a house party. It was the scene of many gay parties for the preceding generation. It's nice to think it is being used again. . Irving’s cousin, Barbara Werbe, and Tom have a cottage at Lake Maxinkuckees this summer and had Mary Stewart and Bud Adams’

two older children for a visit, Barbara Alig is with

friends in Bermuda. Mrs. Alfred Norris and her daughters, Connie and Emily, are visiting in the East but will be in Nantucket Tuesday to spend the month,

Tennis Twins THE JUNIOR Wightman Cup matches were played at Woodstock that day with the local team opposing Cincinnati and the former winning four to three. Among the home girls were Pat Stewart, Barbara Smith, Billie Clingman, Lois Simon and Connie and Susan Cadick. The visitors included an attractive pair of twins, Julie and Ruth Clarke, Too bad our own Longsworth twins were not here to play against them in the doubles. The blondes against the brunettes would have made an attractive picture.

A ‘Not-Going-Away’ If There's o War, We Want fo Serve

Jobat

Miss Arlens Gunvalsen, Miss Patricia Maxam and R. T. Schoonover, USN . . , two WAVES.

to-be and a Ist class "gob."

By MARJORIE TURK

HE ARMY IS CHECKING OFF the qualifications of 50 “potential WAC recruits a day. The Navy has doubled its WAVES quota and the Marines are looking for women for their expanding program. That's the women's recruiting picture here up on the fourth floor of the Federal Building. For every 10 men who pour into the Armed Forces offices, a woman comes along to find out ahout career possibilities for the fairer sex. Gals in the WAC and WAF headquarters are confronted by two sergeants, female... . . Maxine E. Hainer, USA, and Sarah J. Mayer, USAF. If the women are between 18 and 34, high school grads, citizens, single and without dependents, processing begins immediately. » » » THERE ARE THE USUAL number of papers to be filled out in duplicate, triplicate and quadruplicate. However, form filling isn’t as complicated as it sounds—the service personnel is ready to advise and even help type records, Next, prospective recruits take the standard mental test and physical examination. Finally there is more paper work; the applicant proletters of recommendation while the office gets a go-ahead from the police department and the FBI. : Ultimately there is a screening by the local office. And before the future service women receive “greetings” the area command goes over the complete dossier. While men get a thorough grilling when they present themselves for enlistment, the time between inquiry and oath-taking can be stepped up to a matter of a few days. ” » ” WOMEN, BECAUSE of the absentee selection, have a wait weeks before getting their orders. Most of the women who come up to the Army and Air Forces’ offices are seeking career opportunities, according to Capt. John E. Hoppin, USAF. Miss Beulah Hugley, Gary, is Interested in the services because she didn’t have the money to go to college. Beulah wants to learn physical therapy. Miss Katherine Norment, Gary, also has chosen a military life because she hopes to be a skilled worker, - And, of course, the girls are attracted to the services at this time because they want to “help out.”

The setup in the WAVES and in the Wome en's Marine Corps is much the same. Women like Miss Ariens Gunvalsen, 1608 BE. Tabor St. and Miss Patricia Maxam, 3623 N. Illinois St, have gone through a similar processing in the Navy recruiting office. » . .

THEY ARE joining because they “think there's going to be a.war and they want to do something.” In the career line, Arlene, who has had a year and a half at Indiana Univers sity, is anxious to learn medical technology. Pat, who was an Alpha Chi Omega Sorority member at Butler University, is another who is interested in the medical field. To enter the WAVES, girls have to be between 20 and 26, high school grads, single and without dependents, apd successful on their mental and physical examinations. Boot camp for female gobs comes after final testing in Chicago. For the Marine Corps the age limit Is 20 to 31. Recruits have to be single and without dependents, high school grads and citizens, While WACs and WAVES go overseas, the women Marines serve within the continental United States. It's the opinion of the local Marine recruits ing office that the age limit for women may be dropped to 18 and the medical qualifications slightly lowered. The changes would come about because of the present emergency. ¥ r » THE TERMS OF enlistment for service women are 3 to 6 years in the WACs and 4 to 6 years in the other branches, None of the divisions frowns on marriage after enlists ment. While the services don’t actually act as cupids, the holy state is encouraged. The Navy, Army and Air Force gals have to finish a year of active duty before they can resign for reasons of marriage. In the Marines it takes a medical discharge to get out. All the services are interested in officers— women a few years older—who have college educations. In each case officer procurement is a process handled by the various central offices and not by the local stations. But each of the recruiting officers here has information to hand out about this phase of the operation and the Army and Air Forces give preliminary testing for candidates, Incidentally, there's another reason why a service career looks so good to the women— it’s one field where the pay scale is the same for both sexes.
