In the Women's World

Travelers find the solid cologne of Lucien Lelong a sure guarantee against leakage. Pretty CBS actress Helen Lewis, who wears a grey tweed traveling suit with reit applique leaf and acorn design, is shown here rubbing a bit of the cologne stick on her hand when she freshens up at the end of a trip.

Black and white checked velvet is used by John Fredericks in this effective big-brimmed hat. The extra large brim dips gracefully over the eye and sweeps up on one side for a most flattering effect. Notice how the black moire ribbon band is laced through the brim and caught at the back.

Tight velvet basque and full skirt of contrasting material is one of the more popular styles this year for both street and formal wear. A youthful model, reminiscent of peasant costumes, in red velvet and black sheer wool with black embroidery trim is worn here. (Lanz of Salzburg.)

Glove Glamor Enhanced by Cleanliness

There's glamor in gloves this crisp fall season and variety, too, in shape, fabric and color. There are flared gauntlets for tight-sleeved coats and suits, and long gloves that cover the arm to just above the elbow for the short-sleeved model that sets off your beauty for cocktail time. There are the very shortest of short gloves, hand-stitched, that go with tweedy sports suits and there are dressier models tight at the wrists but loose on the arms for the bell-sleeved ensembles. There are dozens of colors, although white is still the most dazzling for afternoon occasions—if they are spotlessly white, of course. Better no gloves at all than soiled ones. The fabrics run the gamut, doeskin, leather, chamois, suede, kid and pigskin. Like all lovely things, it is the upkeep that counts and to most fastidious women with limits to their budgets, the problem of keeping their gloves as clean new takes high. One principal rule must be observed first and foremost: Do not wash gloves unless they are guaranteed washable. The second rigid rule: Use care in the selection of the soap (Please turn to page five)

Diary of a Beauty Authority

Editor's Note: This is the second in a series of articles by Helena Rubinstein, world famous beauty authority, offered as a special feature to women readers of The Riviera. "... I wonder why most women think that exercise is hard work. When I told Mrs. Curtiss this morning that she couldn't hope to lose weight healthfully by dieting alone, and that I would give her some exercises to do at home, she made a wry face and said: "Exercises make me so terribly tired, Madame Rubinstein. Isn't there some easier way?" Well, as a matter of fact, exercise can be as easy and relaxing as lolling in the sun. A good exercise routine is never tiring. On the contrary, it relaxes at the same time, limbers the muscles and takes weight off in specific spots. Here is a pretty near perfect diaphragm routine: Lie on the floor, pressing the back to the floor, bend the knees and lift the body high off the floor till a pull is felt in the diaphragm muscles. Relax and repeat ten times. And this is one I frequently recommend for reducing waistline and hips: Press the back against the wall, elbows and hands held against wall. Bend to the floor and stretch up again, pressing back against wall. Another reason women give for not exercising regularly is lack of time. Of course, it is practically impossible for a busy homemaker to take time out during the day and interrupt her duties in order to exercise. But she needn't do this at all. She can exercise while she is doing her work and make her household chores work for her. Every time she lifts an object from the floor she ca nmake that a good posture exercise if she bends from the hips, keeping her back in a completely straight line, head straight, and hips tucked under. When she dusts, she should reach over the chair back and as far down the chair legs as she can, trying to make a space between her diaphragm and the chairback. This will tighten the stomac hmuscles and help to correct away back. When she sweeps, she should begin by lifting the broom overhead, stretching arms out wide along the handle, feet apart, chest out and the stomach flat. In sweeping, she should use long rhythmic strokes. Then there are ways to turn even such humdrum tasks as polishing and hanging curtains into figure-improving exercises. In polishing a floor, stretch out and back, as far as possible, to trim down the hips and take inches off the waist. The correct way to hang curtains: stand on toes, hips tucked under, stomach in, weight held balanced with thigh muscles. These "Living Exercises" are my favorites, because, in addition to keeping the figure slender and graceful, they teach a woman to make beauty a part of her life. What a mistake it is for a woman to set aside an hour or so now and then for beauty care if she neglects herself all the rest of the time. In order to be beautiful, you must live beauty—all the time.

Butter Pecan Ice Cream Lures You Away From Diet For Adventure

There is something about the very name, "Butter Pecan Ice Cream" that cries for more. This delicious ice cream is a number one favorite now in most drug stores and ice cream shops and ranks with the old vanilla standby, tops for many years. Miss Lois Culpepper, home economist for the Coral Gables branch of the Florida Power & Light, has made up a recipe for this delicious cream that is most economical and good. In fact, Miss Culpepper contributes a very good chocolate cake recipe called "Foamy Chocolate Cake" for this week and we think a good saucer of butter pecan ice cream plus a generous slab of chocolate cake can't be beaten. Never mind the extra pounds, just count the calories off on some other combination of foods and enjoy this old-time favorite dessert. Butter Pecan Ice Cream 2/3 cup condensed milk (not canned) 2 tablespoons melted butter 3/4 cup water 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1 cup whipping cream 1/2 cup pecans, chopped fine Blend condensed milk and melted butter thoroughly. Add water and vanilla. Whip cream to custard like consistency and fold into chilled mixture. Pour into freezing pan. After mixture is about half frozen, remove from tray. Add nut meats and beat until smooth but not melted. Return to tray and finish freezing. Foamy Chocolate Cake 1 cup shortening 2 cups sugar 3 eggs 2 squares bitter chocolate, melted 1 cup milk 1/2 cup compressed yeast 3/4 cup lukewarm water 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 3/4 cups cake flour sifted before measuring 1 teaspoon soda 3 tablespoons hot water 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla Cream butter, add sugar and cream together until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks. Beat well. Add the melted chocolate and the milk. Add the yeast, which has been mixed in the lukewarm water. Add the flour, salt, sifted together. Beat well. Fold in the stiffly beaten egg whites, allow to stand overnight. Then add soda dissolved in 3 tablespoons hot water. Add vanilla. Pour into well-greased 9-inch layer cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes or with quick oven meal. Miss Culpepper adds a word about this cake that is a timesaver, that is, make it up the day before you are to have an oven meal, then bake the cake at 350 degrees at the same time, as the oven dinner and everything will be finished at the same time.

This three-piece ensemble of nutria costs less than $300 yet creates an air of elegance. Worn by Dolores Gillen of the CBS "The Story of Mary Marlin" series, the coat features new full sleeves gathered at the wrist and wrap-around silhouette. Her tri-cornered cloche is trimmed with perky brown felt feelers and the muff is the purse variety. (From Debutante Furs.)

Cover-up fashions for dinner and the theatre are more popular this year than decollete frocks. Luxurious simplicity, like that of the richly embroidered slim-lined gown worn here. Of geranium red crepe with black inset at the waistline, it is extravagantly embroidered in pearls and gold metal thread. (Kalmour Original.)

Singing star Ginny Simms was caught by our photographer just before guests arrived at her attractive home for a gala dinner. Her stunning sequin and crepe ensemble features a slim-lined skirt of glittering opalescent sequins and a pale blue crepe coat lavishly applied with the paillettes.

HINTS FOR HOME-MAKERS. On Storing Meats

Good refrigeration is doubly important with chopped or ground meats, like hamburger and fresh sausage. Such meats are usually made from small pieces and have had greater chances of contamination—and the mere grinding releases meat juices which will distribute whatever bacteria may be present.

Woman's Age

Under our democracy woman first formed an active partnership with man in their joint task of improving the lot of humanity. And in the American woman's singular triumph, labor-saving conveniences played a part. Household electric appliances released her from many washtub drudgeries, that her energy and talent might be directed to the building of a better citizenship. Surely, whether our democratic way of living is preserved for our children, depends as much upon woman's active patriotism as upon any other arm of our national defense. Woman's superior moral and spiritual strength can save us. More than ever before she gives serious thought to our economic, social and political problems. Through study circles, garden groups, business and professional clubs, church societies and parent-teacher associations, she already changes the complexion of communities. The employees of this company know that electricity steadily advances the American way of life—that it is a good influence in the ever-expanding sphere of woman's greater usefulness. Modern electric services give you the time to help keep democracy at work. "What we have to do is bring women and the home into the community and make women realize that their life is not bounded by the four walls of their flats or homes; we must make them realize that in the future they must see themselves as citizens of the world with all their privileges and responsibilities." —Pearl S. Buck. COPYRIGHT 1941 FLORIDA POWER & LIGHT COMPANY HELPING BUILD FLORIDA
