Casual suit in Glen plaid with club collar and patch pockets is a bright beginner for the spring season. Pretty CBS actress Melinda Leighton chooses hers in a grey and black combination. With it she wears a black sailor with jersey drape and short suede gloves. A gay note of color may be added with the blouse.

In the Women's World CALLING DRAFTED MOTHERS

By ERAINE TURIN Editor's Note: Mrs. Turin 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. In a recent issue of Time, the weekly newsmagazine, is a discussion of Colonel Kernan's new book, "Defense Will Not Win the War." It reads in part: "The U. S., Britain and France relied too long on defense outposts (Singapore, Hongkong), defense lines (the Maginot for France, the oceans for the U. S.), the classic sea power doctrines of Admiral Mahan. France fell because the French and British generals were gripped by the 'defense myth.' So fell Singapore, Hongkong and the Philippines. By trying to defend everywhere, the Allies had held nowhere. ... "Colonel Kernan says: 'We think . . . that all we have to do to stop Hitler is to step up the output of our defense industry . . . induct more and more selectees. . . . "'It is not enough. . . . "'For the Germans have by this time built up an offensive force . . . that can take care of, crush, capture and absorb any amount of war materials, tanks planes guns trucks, munitions—as long as that material is used defensively.'" Drafted mothers of our nation inasmuch as your soldier sons play the major role here, you can hardly discount Colonel Kernan's sound reasoning. One might say that we have been cravenly caught in a "defense grip." We have come to be "defense-conscious," and, like those who are self-conscious, we hesitate when quick action is our most essential weapon. This "defense-consciousness" doubtless is encouraged chiefly by those who because of some selfish motive, refuse to separate the office of "civilian defense" and that of a "defensive warfare." They contend that we cannot hope to take the offensive, if we put too much emphasis on our home fronts. Yet, to put emphasis on our home fronts—which means to give all the possible protection to the lives and property of civilians—has nothing to do with the waging of defensive battles, and, accordingly, should give no interference to offensive operations. To confuse the office of these two distinct and separate operations can only indicate that we are wanting in sufficient equipment for either since nothing has been done to protect civilians nor to take the offensive in this conflict. And that situation can be put to the fault of those whose motives have been other than patriotic. I would suggest that they take more heed to what Nelson urgently commands. "We on the production lines" he stresses, "must abandon every other consideration except increasing production and increasing it every day." In that case, we should have an ample supply of gas masks, steel helmets and anti-aircraft guns for civilian defense, as well as sufficient ammunition airplanes, tanks and ships for your soldier sons, who need these to wage offensive battles. And as to civilian defense, I want to add that those who have deterred our production are not the only offenders. What W. W. Nealey, Red Cross first aid director, charged about Atlanta, Ga., may apply to all communities as well. "Atlanta," he says, "needs in commandofits Civilian Defense someone whose only thought is the protection of the citizens, someone who is not strutting pompously around trying to cover himself with glory and credit." Drafted mothers of our nation, it is truly vital that we awaken our people to the fact that "civilian defense" is not "defensive warfare," and, therefore, can hardly prevent offensive operations. We must awaken our people to that situation before the fighting capacity of our soldier sons is made ineffective by all this "defense consciousness." (Copyright, 1942)

Diary of a Beauty Authority

By HELENA RUBINSTEIN (This week the famous beauty expert discusses a Beauty Time Table for women past the thirty-year mark. This volume is presented as a special feature to the women readers of this paper.) NEW YORK—Busily engaged in defense work, occupied with taking care of a family, devoting her spare time to the Red Cross and the USO, the woman of today leads a life that is just as strenuous as and probably even more tiring than, that of the wives of the pioneers who crossed the continent in covered wagons. Yet, though she may be exhausted at the end of her working day, the modern woman is expected to look radiant and glamorous at night and must adhere to a strict beauty routine so that she may retain a fresh, youthful appearance, although she may be thirty-five, forty or even fifty years of age. With this in mind, I have drawn up a Beauty Time Table which is ideal for the woman who is past the thirty-year mark, but who is so busy that she does not have a great deal of time to spend on a beauty routine. However, it must be clearly understood that this program is effective only if followed faithfully. Beauty Time Table for the After-Thirties (Morning) 2 minutes—Posture checkup. 1 minute—Apply cream (make up cream if skin is inclined to sallowness; pasteurized cream special if skin is dry)—leave on during bath. 5 minutes—Bath or shower followed by rubdown with bodysmooth in cold weather, cologne and dusting powder in warm weather. 1 minute—Remove remainder Please Turn to Page 7
