White brushed wool coat for campus or after-ski wear is the selection of CBS actress Ann Thomas of the "Meet Mister Meek" cast, for the "extra" coat of her wardrobe. Princess styled, with zipper closing, it has a dark green yoke and cuffs trimmed with bright red felt flowers. Notice the small band of white baby lamb about the neck and her Baemo red suede and white fur mittens. (Lanz of Salzburg.)

Diary of a Beauty Authority

By HELENA RUBENSTEIN (On this column, offered as a special feature to our woman readers, the noted beauty authority explains how a woman can develop her beauty to its fullest extent.) NEW YORK-At what age does a woman's beauty achieve its greatest heights? This question was put to me today by a woman of forty who is considered one of society's most charming women and who is as eagerly sought after by leading hostesses as any young debutante of the season. My experience has proven that a woman can be beautiful at any age. As she develops and changes, her beauty develops and changes with her. The glowing vitality which makes her beautiful as a debutante becomes the vivid individuality which makes her outstanding as a young matron. And during the golden years of her maturity, these qualities are transformed into poise and gracious distinction which make many a gray-haired woman the center of attraction on social occasions. Youth is an experimental period. The young girl who comes to me is eager to try new colors, new coiffures. She spends many hours discovering new possibilities for herself. But the older woman has a tremendous advantage. She knows herself. She has studied her good points and her defects. Her beauty has a rich, fascinating quality. A becoming coiffure is one of the most important factors for the older woman. Silver-gray hair can be so striking and so lovely that she should make the most of it. Frequent shampoos, thorough brushing night and morning and a little brilliantine sprayed on, will give it a perfectly-groomed look. The coiffure itself should be simple and should emphasize the shape of the head to give a smart, youthful effect. Extreme hair styles are not wise. Hair should be so arranged as to make it a flattering frame for the face. Of equal importance to the beauty of an older woman is a fresh rosy skin. The secret of beauty for the more mature skin is to combine both stimulating and soothing elements in your daily treatments. Stimulation comes first to waken and freshen your skin. An herbal cleansing cream provides that effect. Next, while the skin is tingling, the relaxed contours and chin line must be braced and tightened with contour astringent. This should be patted briskly into the skin until absorbed. The skin is now ready for the soothing enriching effects of a night cream molded well into the skin with upstrokes on the face and long down-sweeping strokes on the neck and throat. If used before retiring, it should be left over-night. If you are going out, remove carefully and pat fragrant anti-wrinkle lotion over your face and throat to preserve the fine texture and softness of your skin. Not every older woman is aware of the extent to which make-up, wisely chosen and carefully applied, can enhance her beauty. She can paint her own cosmetic picture by using soft shades which tone in with her natural coloring. Glowing accents of lipstick and eye-shadow will highlight her best features. If you have any questions regarding the care of the skin, you may have them answered by writing to Helena Rubenstein, in care of this paper Next: How to Budget Your Beauty

In the Women's World STRAIGHT FROM NEW YORK

AFTERNOON DATE If it's a date with a soldier home on leave you will want to wear a very dressy dress. U. S. soldiers recently expressed the wish to see their best girls in soft feminine clothes, in contrast to the uniforms they themselves wear. This date dress, a New York creation, is of black velveteen with a ballerina skirt, gay with graduated bands of grosgrain ribbon in different colors.

Corduroy reefer of natural color in wide wale weave with green flannel bindings is the knobby number Mary Mason-who plays the title role in Columbia network's "Maudie's Diary" series-wears over her warm jersey frock for the big game of the season. Notice the hand-wrought silver buttons and the youthful green felt hat.

Knitted ensemble is white and gay peasant colors is the youthful and fetching outfit Sammie Hill, of the Columbia network's "Jones and I" series, plans to wear to football games and for skating this year. Her slim-lined, slightly gored skirt is fireman's red, and her white sweater has a cable stitched panel down the back and brightly embroidered tabs. The crocheted mittens and bonnets are carried out in the colors of her sweater. (Lanz of Salzburg.)

New 32-inch length coat is this year's favorite for campus and sports wear. CBS actress Peggy Zinke of Columbia network's "Big Sister" shows chooses this double-breasted camel's hair model with raccoon collar and cuffs, for wear at football games this season.

Popular priced short grey kidskin coat suitable for the football season and general sport wear is worn here by Dolores Gillen of Columbia network's "The Story of Mary Marlin" series. It is styled for both the college girl and young matrons; is correct with both sports woolens and simple afternoon clothes. (From Debutante Furs.)

For the children's luncheon try this: Make French toast and put slightly sweetened applesauce between the slices. For dessert, top with whipped cream, sprinkled with cinnamon. Applesauce is full of vitamins. This is a tested recipe.

Fish Provides Grand Chance To 'Dress Up' Dinner Table

Fill the hollowed center with sugar, baste the baking apple in its own juice and when done serve in a glass apple and top with a dash of whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon. You can tuck raisins into the center, too, while apples are baking. Fish Provides Grand Chance To 'Dress Up' Dinner Table By Phillip Lewis The fish obtainable in these parts is not only plentiful but of wonderful variety. It is both cheap and expensive. Personally, I'll take the lowly eel, flounder or catfish and in a short time a dish "fit for a king" can be on the table. But instead of a lowly fish let's look at the "tops" of fish found in Florida waters. The pompano, compared to meat, is no more in price, less trouble to prepare and a fish dinner now and then is also a treat to yourself and guests. This week we'll make a good fish dinner. And a dessert! Do not let a fancy name for a dessert scare you. DINNER FOR 4 Grapefruit With Crawfish Radishes Celery Fillet of Pompano a la Hollandaise Fresh Peas Potato Croquettes Torte Renversee Demi Grapefruit With Crawfish Secure two large grapefruit, cut in half crosswise, remove all seed carefully.

1941 LOOKS AT 1916

THINGS have changed a lot in 25 years-yet there is much that is the same. In 1916 it was Preparedness; in 1941, National Defense. But now the scale is bigger, the pace is faster. There was pressure on the telephone business then. The pressure is infinitely greater now. New training camps; new aviation fields; new munition plants; new shipyards and many other defense industries-all need telephones. Everyone is moving faster... and, when a nation hurries, it does so by telephone. Southern Bell spent about $4,600,000 on new construction in 1916. It is spending over $51,000,000 in 1941. The entire Southern Bell organization serving nine Southern states, is giving "first call" to Defense. We believe you would want it that way.
