In the Women's World

A place for everything and everything in its place highly recommends this Frilo Blackout Bag, which Honey Johnson chooses for the duration. It includes bandages, iodine, small flashlight and pockets for make-up and valuables. For blackouts Honey chooses Lilly Dache's navy blue faille overseas cap with red ribbon trimming and small reflectors which light up during blackouts to warn pedestrians of her approach.

A luminous solution applied to this smart white straw hat worn by Columbia network's Lurene Tuttle, makes it visible in the dark. It is designee Lilly Dache's contribution to blackout wardrobes. Lurene's identification bracelet has her name engraved on the gold charm which is set with a square cut topaz. Her short white doeskin gloves are Kislav's Gad-a-bouts.

Pictured here is Mrs. Wade Livingston Street who is presenting the Daughters of the American Revolution cup to Principal H. N. Rath, who will in turn present it to the senior girl voted most outstanding in her class. Each year the D.A.R. sends one girl from each of the 48 states to Washington, D. C. for three days of sightseeing and patriotic inspiration. Each senior home room nominates two girls, and then the student body chooses one; her name is then engraved on the cup. Candidates for the D.A.R. pilgrimage are Lillian Heiden, 202A; Betty Ellis and Kitty Lou Hoffman, 102B; and Dorothy Reynolds and Ruth Dorsett, 205B. Last year's winner was Barbara Browne.

Anticipating enemy air raid warnings, Actress Ann Eden draws her black satin lined flowered Glosheen blackout draperies for the night. Her "Siren Suit" of gabardine has an action back—split from yoke to waistline for ample freedom and covered by a surplice which ties in front—and large pockets to carry all the small equipment needed in a shelter.

Diary of a Beauty Authority

By HELEN RUBINSTEIN (In this week's column, presented as a special feature to the women readers of this newspaper, Madam Rubinstein advances some principles of winter beauty. NEW YORK — This week, New York shop windows are devoted to displays of skiing and skating clothes and the season for winter sports is coming into full swing. Sunday ski trains have begun to leave from Grand Central Station every week, carrying several hundred gaily dressed ski enthusiasts to snowy mountain slopes; and in Rockefeller Plaza, right in the heart of the city, skaters whirl gracefully around the sunken skating rink while crowds look on. Winter sports have become popular in this country during the last few years and today, so many American women ski, skate, or indulge in some kind of winter sport that it has become necessary for us to pay special attention to the principles of winter beauty. Winter sports are great fun, but they can play havoc with a woman's appearance. Cold winds, exposure to icy blasts can rob even a young fresh skin of its soft radiance, can dry the tissues of lips and eyes and give the face a harsh, weatherbeaten look. In cold weather, every woman should protect her skin with a special winter lotion which she can wear as a foundation beneath her make-up. A film of eyelid oil applied to her lids Shorter hair-do's are being adopted by many girls doing civilian defense work. Actress Elizabeth Reller finds that this versatile Defense Cut designed by Josef of Mona Manet is correct with her AWVS uniform, yet lends itself to a soft arrangement for evenings of fun. and worn during the day will protect this delicate area, and a colorless lipstick base will keep her lips smooth and free from chapping. In addition to these precautions, she should wear a night cream while she sleeps to replenish oils in her skin, and a hand lotion should be her constant standby. A young actress who is planning to take up skiing this season asked me today for some exercises to prepare her for the sport, and I suggested two which are, in addition, good allround limbering and reducing routines for every woman since skiing is largely a matter of balance. Here, for instance, is a ski exercise which is excellent preparation for performing a Christiana Turn: heels on skis and skis together and parallel, knees slightly bent, twist body from side to side to get balance for turn. And here is one which will strenghten the legs so that skis can be managed easily and gracefully: lunge to the left side, extending the right leg; shift weight to the other knee without standing.

Lieutenant John A. Porter And Bride to Live Here

Lieut. and Mrs. John Armour Porter will arrive this week end to live in Coral Gables, following their marriage Saturday in Newnan, Ga. The bride, the former Miss Elizabeth Melson Wynn, daughter of former Gableites, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Erie Wynn, now of Newnan and Lieutenant Porter, U.S.N.R., were wed in the historic ancestral home of her aunt, Mrs. J. T. Kirby in Newnan. The Rev. J. W. Veach officiated. The bride was given in marriage by her father. Miss Winifred Glover of Newnan was maid of honor, and Miss Marion Porter, sister of the bridegroom, of Worchester, Mass., was bridesmaid. Daniel W. Boone, Jr., of Newnan was best man. Mrs. Porter chose an aqua silk suit with matching redingote style soft wool coat for her wedding. Her hat was an off-the-face aqua felt and her corsage was white orchids and bavardia. Miss Glover's ensemble was of cosmetic pink and Miss Porter was in cream beige. Both wore corsages of roses and violets. The bride's mother wore a violet print dress, topped with a violet coat and corsage of fuesia and bavardia. Mrs. Thomas L. Porter, mother of the bridegroom, wore an aqua turquoise redingote ensemble and corsage of pink camillas. The bride is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wynn, both members of pioneer Georgia families.

On her maternal side she is descended from Capt. John Dent of Revolutionary fame and Lady Audley of Maxwellton, Scotland. Lieut.

CALLING DRAFTED MOTHERS

Editor's Note: Mrs. Turla is a Coral Gables resident and mother of a draftee. She is an accomplished author and playwright, and recently conducted a radio program for the mothers of boys in the service. By ERAINE TURIN The other day a woman, who has no son in the service, made a statement, typical of the majority in that position. "I just can't listen," she said, "to all this war-talk on the radio. I'd much rather not know what's happening. Anyway, the war can't really come this far." Drafted mothers of our nation, it is that type of philosophy — "blind philosophy"—which caught those in command at Pearl Harbor in the arms of Morpheus. They were blind to the warnings of danger, refusing to believe an air attack possible. Consequently, the Japanese raid was a "complete surprise." Like so many of our American people, they took too much for granted. No additional alert orders were issued—and in spite of the fact that, before the attack, one of our destroyers and an airplane teamed up to sink a small Japanese submarine sighted in prohibited waters. To these leaders, war still remained a fantasy. And because such officers as Admiral Kimmel and General Short "failed properly to evaluate the seriousness of the situation" many of your sons, drafted mothers, became unnecessary victims. Therefore, can you, the mothers of service men—alive or not—stay with the peacetime platitudes to which so many of our people still are given? These peace-time platitudes, persisting in war-time, are gross omissions of certain efforts which are inspired by the fear of admission of certain circumstances. And that situation also makes civilians take too much for granted—although they know axis agents are working in their well-known fashion to invite those omissions. This blind philosophy is not indicative of courage, but rather it is suggestive of a smoldering fear evaded, not overcome. And this blind philosophy, directly or indirectly, finds root in every phase of American life —military, political, economical and social. This blind philosophy has been accountable for our lack in production, which assisted to lull those at Pearl Harbor into a sounder slumber. This blind philosophy has kept eyes closed to the necessity of importing stockpiles raw materials, which today are so essential, this blind philosophy is responsible for all our former laxities. It is responsible for our present shortages, including those of rubber, aluminum, steel and supposedly sugar; and these provide for the production of military and civilian supplies alike. In truth, this blind philosophy grabs at the heart of our entire civilian living, and makes one desire to sleep it off to escape, if he can. Notwithstanding, you, the drafted mothers of our nation, who are less concerned, should be able to awaken our people. It has been said that the experience at Pearl Harbor has done this awakening, that never again will the ostrich be caught with its head in the ground. Yet, can you depend on that, when this blind philosophy still exists? Drafted mothers of our nation, we cannot afford to be found napping at any future time. We must wake up. All discussions, evasions, dissensions, delays must be done with. Nelson is right. We need action—and quick action. And you who have sons in the service and thereby, are more aware of this urgency, are better fitted to rouse our people to the necessity of such quick action. Quick action—not procrastination—makes for a quick victory; a quick victory—not a delayed victory—makes for saving many more lives of your soldier sons.
