Diary of a Beauty Authority

(In this week's column, presented as a special feature to the women readers of this newspaper, Madame Rubinstein discusses the care of the hands.) By HELENA RUBINSTEIN NEW YORK—Women's hands are busier today than ever before—knitting sweaters, socks and scarves for the Red Cross, rolling endless yards of snowy white bandages, cooking, sweeping and providing cleanliness and sanitation. And yet, when this important work is done, one's hands must be magnetic enough to invite a kiss, look lovely playing a game and comforting on a baby's bruise. It is not necessary for you to let your hands become rough and work-worn, busy though you may keep them at the hundred and one jobs of today's living plus the new demands made by our country's defense requirements. No part of the human body responds so quickly and generously to care as do the hands. Young hands are easy to care for. All that they really need, in addition to manicure equipment, is a fragrant hand lotion to keep skin soft, smooth and velvety. This lotion should be applied at night before going to bed, always after washing, and before going out into cold weather as protection. To beautify your hands, equip yourself with these materials: Nail brush, soap, emery boards, curved scissors orangewood stick, cotton, nail polish, polish remover, peroxide, nail bleach. Follow these steps to a perfect manicure: 1—Remove polish with oily polish remover. 2—Shape nails with file and emery board. 3—Soak fingertips in warm soapy water 10 minutes. 4—Apply nail oil to base and sides of nails and push back cuticle with orange stick. 5—Clip rough edges of cuticle. Smooth away harsh corners with emery board. 6—Rinse hands and nails thoroughly. Dry them well and examine them to see that the cuticle is smooth. 7—Before applying the polish, clean nails with polish remover and buff nails briskly. 8—Apply polish with quick, lengthwise strokes. 9—If nails are short and stubby, lengthen their appearance by applying polish over entire nail. 10—If nails are very wide, remove the polish at the sides of nails and they will look more tapering. 11—Dip orange stick in polish remover and draw it around sides of nails to even off liquid polish. 12—When polish is dry, dip orange stick into nail tonic and circle sides of nail to keep pliable. If you are over 30, add to your hand equipment a night cream to protect and soften work hands while you sleep. Practice the following hand exercises to keep your fingers slim, supple and young. 1—Clench the hands firmly. Fling fingers open. Repeat 10 times. 2—Move the fingers as if playing an imaginary five-finger exercise on the piano. Continue for two minutes. 3—Touch thumb to little finger. Fling fingers open as far as possible. Touch thumb to fourth finger, open hands and continue until each finger has been touched. Repeat ten times. 4—Place fingers of right hand on back of left hand and draw them firmly across from one side to the other. Repeat with right hand. Continue for three minutes. (This is the favorite exercise of many famous pianists.) 5—Shake the hands as hard as you can. Then fling them out palms up. If you have really left them free, they will fall into the same pose that you see on a Greek statue. 6—At odd moments during the day, mold the fingers by pulling downward on fingertips, as though you were shaping them to a point. (If you have any personal beauty problems, Madame Rubinstein will be glad to solve them for you. Simply address Helena Rubinstein, care of this paper.) Next: Beauty Extras

In the Women's World

At the top is pictured a delicious banana "Victory Cake" which saves two-thirds of the sugar a housewife would ordinarily use in making such a fine party cake. Glassed syrup plays the all-important role in this patriotic saving. Below, that good old standby, the handy quart milk bottle, is important to a tasty cream of cheese soup.

CALLING DRAFTED MOTHERS

By ERAINE TURIN Every patriotic effort is indispensable to the unity of a nation, yet under the stress of our present, sincere patriotism, effort too often is trampled upon. And in time of war, this is far from good. Therefore, let me give you a letter which explains how readily this patriotic effort can be disregarded and interpreted falsely. The letter reads: "Dear Madam, I am a soldier, a private, who is fifty years of age, and I also have two sons in the armed forces. At present I am home on a five-day pass and learned of your drafted mothers' movement. That is my reason for writing you. "I served in the last World War. I obtained a non-commissioned officer's rank and had much experience in the branch of the army where I served. I felt in this war I could be of service to my country in my former capacity—as having two sons in the armed forces did not relieve me of the responsibility to serve again. Not to serve would mean I'd be a slacker to a country that had been so good to me and mine—considering the training I had had, and the service I could render my country by that training. I applied for enlistment, stated my former military experience, and was promised a similar rank immediately after my induction. And this meant I would receive ninety dollars ($90) for my wife and myself, and also pay which would meet our simple needs. But something went wrong. I never received what was promised me. "I am still a private earning $30 a month and my wife (not a well woman) has to depend on relatives for her major support. And these relatives are not the least bit pleased to help her. It is this situation that has undone her health altogether. Then on account of some mix-up in the payroll, I haven't received that $30 for the last two months. "And the reason the army gave me a five-day pass, was because my wife took seriously sick. I guess she couldn't take it. The boys at my camp came across in a big way; they collected enough money among themselves to pay for my trip home and back. And just before I left camp (I think because my wife took sick) they began to make an investigation of their promise to me. And now I am told I will receive the rank offered me at the beginning—the rank which will give my wife the support she needs. Naturally she is recovering. "But more accountable for regaining her health is the fact that she is anxious to meet with other drafted mothers. Your ideas, Mrs. Turin, appeal to her so much that her incentive to work for a drafted mothers' movement has given her the desire required for a rapid recovery. To associate with other women who have sons in the service, to be able to talk over her problems with those who understand them and run the benefit of correcting those problems, has given her new hope. And that hope is the only reason that my former urge to serve my country has not gone out of me. In gratitude to you, I remain most sincerely yours ..." Drafted mothers of our nation, I trust you have some suggestions to offer here—and before such sincere patriotism is wholly crushed in others who may have a similar problem as this writer had. For it is sincere patriotic effort which gives unity its biggest stimulus in a nation (Copyright, 1941)
