Coral Gables Riviera

Casual suits lead the Spring fashion parade this year. Frances Carlin wears a popular three-piece model of beige and brown Brookwood Glen Plaid. Its jacket is the new twenty-six inch length, with one-button closing and buttoned flap pockets. The coat is styled as a full-length boxy model with notched collar to match that of the suit. (From Max Levine.)

Poinsettia printed lastex swim suit in bright red and green on white background offers the ultimate in style and speed. Cut to control and slim the figure, it is faggoted — rather than seamed — together- (Mabs of Hollywood.)

LARGE LEAF PRINT -bathing suit and matching blouse are a new print and style combine. Pretty Kathryn Keyes, of Columbia network's "Lux Radio Theatre," makes a striking figure on the beach in her black silk suit with green and white leaf print and companion blouse with long full sleeves to protect her against the sun. (Mabs of Hollywood Ensemble).

TWO COLORS, TWO FABRICS Many of the new dresses combine two entirely different fabrics and two smartly contrasting colors. The New York creation pictured shows this trend, being all one color in the back, and two-toned in front. The entire skirt, and the back of the bodice and sleeves are of sheer black wool, the front of fuchsia moire.

A brief story in southern wear is told here by Janet Waldo of the "Big Town" series. She wears air spun white linen shorts with an apron front and back and brief bodice accented by an Indian print. This type of shorts gives a slimming line to larger girls. When Janet goes shopping in the resort town, she wears a dirndl skirt rather than the shorts with the bra top. (Kik-A-Poo Sportswear.)

Diary of a Beauty Authority

By HELENA RUBENSTEIN (In this week's column, the noted beauty authority reveals that glamorous movie stars are made, not born.) NEW YORK—Recently, when George Hurrell, the famous Hollywood photographer, visited me in New York, we discovered that we shared a theory—that any girl can look as glamorous as a movie star, if properly made up and photographed. As we discussed this theory, we decided to give it a try. Mr. Hurrell, who has photographed more glamorous stars than any other man in the world, agreed to seek four typical working girls who were plain-looking but who showed, to his trained eyes, resemblance to movie stars. After a search of several days, he brought these girls to my salon, where I have seen many girls transformed to beauties who became successful on the New York stage and in Hollywood. The girls Mr. Hurrell had selected were a telegraph office stenographer, a restaurant hostess, a five-and-ten sales girl, and a department store sales girls. All four were plain looking, no one would ever have turned around to look at them twice. Here is the way we transformed them: The sales girl was made to resemble Katherine Hepburn. The high, pronounced cheekbones and concave cheeks were achieved with shadings of foundation and face powder. First, a neutral foundation was applied over all; a lighter foundation blended over cheekbones and hinges of the jaw; then dark foundation slanted from her ear under the cheekbone almost to her mouth. Three different shades of warm-toned powder were applied in the same way. Her eyebrows were raised slightly by plucking from underneath; then brushed upwards to give the "flyaway" Hepburn look. Her mouth was widened and accented with deep reddish brown lipstick and lips squared with lipstick pencil. Long false eyelashes and a touch of oil on each eyelid made the eyes more expressive. Her hair was parted on the side and arranged in a simple shoulder-length bob. Similarly, the stenographer was made up to look like Ann Sheridan, the restaurant hostess like Loretta Young and the girl from the five-and-ten like Myrna Loy. When Mr. Hurrell photographed them, you could scarcely tell the counterparts from the stars themselves! So we proved our theory that glamour girls are made, not born.

Southern ensemble of ice blue with lily of the valley and red rosebud print is worn here. The full length coat is of tapestry with welt seamed pockets and self buttons. The frock has front fullness, which is very important this year, and a convertible neckline. Her Sally Victor off-the-face brimmed hat is of matching blue and bound in the red of the print. (Antonio Modes.)

This Cardigan styled two-toned wool suit will be one of the most popular models this spring. The brown skirt is slightly gored and the twenty-six inch length tan jacket is piped with matching brown. Incidentally, convertible neck blouses look best with cardigans. (Max Levine Ensemble.)

Congregational Church Annual Report Given At Dinner Meet

The Annual Meeting of the Coral Gables Congregational Church was held Wednesday evening following a baked ham dinner served by Mrs. F. E. Dix. The reports of the various organizations were very encouraging. Fred H. Ralsten, chairman of the board of trustees, reported money in hand to pay all bills to the end of the year and leave a balance in the treasury; he said the financial prospects for the year ahead were far better than they had been in all the years he has served as a trustee of the church. The following men were re-elected to serve on the board of trustees for the next three years—Bradbury L. Barnes, Thorton M. Fincher, Dr. J. Raymond Graves, and Lyle D. Holcomb. James Whittington and William S. Radway were re-elected to the board of deacons and Bowman F. Hinckley was elected church clerk. On the board of deaconesses Mrs. Grace Linn, Mrs. Margaret Seaber, Mrs. Andrew Doleman, and Mrs. Louie Lanford were elected this year to serve three years.

At the meeting of the Coral Gables Woman's Club held in the clubrooms Monday afternoon, Mrs. Leonard C. Olson was appointed new recording secretary to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mrs. Ernestine Tylee, who is now giving the major portion of her time to war and defense work. Miss Mary B. Merritt, dean of women at the University of Miami, was introduced by Mrs. Clarence Wadsworth Francis, literature study chairman, and gave a very splendid review of "A Leaf in the Storm" by Lin Yu Tang. Mrs. Clyde Higgins sang "A Chinese Lullaby," accompanied by Miss Margaret Phelan. Mrs. George Cauley spoke to the members regarding the Opera Guild, which will present Pagliachii on the night of February 14th, with De Felippi, Margaret Michaux, Fred Riebel and a large chorus. The clubhouse is doing its full share of defense work now, with classes in first aid and nutrition, sponsored by the Junior Club, Red Cross Sewing all day on Tuesdays, Red Cross production room open every day except Saturdays and various other meetings throughout the week. Spanish classes are being conducted by Senora Isasarri on Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 to 10 in the mornings.

CALLING DRAFTED MOTHERS

By ERAINE TURIN Today women are giving themselves to the expected activities which a war program always inspires. We all know that willing hands are turning out bandages by the carloads, that industrious fingers are manipulating the knitting needle by the thousands. Yet, you, the drafted mothers of our nation, have that to effect which is somewhat out of line with those expected activities; your efforts are directed, chiefly, toward bettering conditions for your soldier sons. And the knowledge that you can be of such service gives your own morale a boost. A few days ago, I received a letter which explains this point so well that I feel you should be given a chance to read it. This is the letter: "Dear Friend: I am not a mother but a father of a marine who possibly has taken part in the Pacific battles. For weeks we haven't heard from our son, and my wife has lost more than ten pounds from worry. The other day a friend told her about your ideas as to a drafted mothers movements. Yesterday afternoon, my wife had some of these drafted mothers to our home. When I arrived early for dinner, the women were still there, discussing their boys, and planning how they could best get together for frequent meetings of this kind. At dinner my wife seemed to have a new outlook on life. Having been able to talk to those who had the same problems gave her the relief she needed. "It's about time that the mothers of men in the armed forces have a salient part, that their suggestions be given consideration. "Here's the way I look at it. When a nation like ours is put on a war-time footing, each one has some kind of patriotic job to fulfill. But the majority of such jobs have long been established by custom, and all of us take for granted that our time, and efforts, and often money, should be put to those. Not that this isn't as it should be. Yet that doesn't mean that we must do only the jobs expected. There's always the need to expand into other kinds of work. It's this expanding which has made our people of such progressive timber and able to cope with emergencies. "In like manner, the drafted mothers' job takes a new and different place in a war program. They can accomplish so much that other persons may be unable to. They come from all walks of life, and therefore have the power to steer people, from all walks of life, along lines which, because of economic or political or any other selfish motive, they are more apt to disregard. A mother's aims are rarely selfish when her son is concerned. "Yet in my day I have never heard of a drafted mothers movement. These women have never been granted the chance to give their best and wholly in serving their country by serving their sons. And nothing helps a woman so much as to be of help to her boy; it gives her a new incentive. For we men, like my dear wife, whose sons may never see alive again, such an incentive is necessary to keep up their spirits. And to let their spirits break disrupts our entire scheme of living. The mothers are the backbone of a nation. Sincerely yours . . ." This father's logic is not to be discounted. High morale in the army of drafted mothers is as important to our country as is the high morale in the army of drafted men. Without that high morale you, the drafted mothers of our nation, can scarcely effect your special task—to better conditions for your soldier sons. You are the nucleus upon which so much depends: husbands, children, home, country, and even our ultimate victory. For you represent the power behind the men who shoulder the gun. (Copyrighted, 1942)
