PAGE 2 THE CORAL GABLES RIVIERA FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1942

In the Women's World

For spring Adelaide Hawley—editor CBS's "Woman's Page of the Air"—selects this black straw pancake beret with a separate headband of pink roses and blue forget-me-nots. Incidentally, it solves the budget problem, for the flower headband may be worn as an evening headdress, or replaced by a plain band when the hat is worn with tailored suits. (From Helen Liebert.)

This year Claire Howard, young juvenile player heard on CBS "Woman of Courage" series, was permitted to choose her own spring ensemble. Here it is. A red covert cloth coat with gold braid and buttons

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. Drafted mothers of our nations, possibly those from whom your support may come, or even you, yourselves, have been connected with small business which suffered "war reverses." I refer to the "war reverses" which could have been averted, yet occurred, because of the total disregard of certain individuals to the necessity of keeping small businesses, that can be operated for war purposes, from collapsing. As a result, many of you or those supporting you are put out of useful occupation. Under the stress of our present emergency, to disrupt enterprise in part—that part where business may be utilized for war production—gives as much interference, in winning this war, as to disrupt the efficiency in the armed forces. Moreover, that situation can cause your soldier sons to be in need of necessary equipment, and likewise put you and your families, who present civilian life, to great financial want. Let me give you a letter—on this same issue—which just came in. It was written by a father of a soldier, and it reads: "Dear Mrs. Turin: About a month ago, I remember reading a piece in the paper. It said that a certain Senator introduced a bill to assist small business. 'He warned,' I think I remember his exact words here, 'that small enterprise, unable to obtain more than courteous lip service from top production chiefs faces bankruptcy and chaos.' He also went on to say chiefs faces bankruptcy and that some kind of a plan should be worked out which would help finance and direct conversion of small factories to armament output. "But as far as I can see nothing has been done about it. I, myself, was employed by a small factory that no longer can use me. Now I'm out of a job. And with all the delays of red tape in getting defense work, I'll be without money before I get another connection. Our factory sought every available means to turn their equipment over for essential war needs, yet with no success. Possibly in time, this factory would have been given a chance at a war contract, but that would come too late. They are about to close up with valuable machinery made useless. All this red tape of making bids, which never come through in time, should be eliminated at once. "I'm very much disgusted about it all. Naturally my wife has more to worry her now. When a mother, like my wife, gives her son to the service of her country, that ought to be enough for any woman to worry about. "But what I want to you know, Mrs. Turin, is that you're doing a great job, because you are helping to correct just such situations like this. Once you get the mothers in line, watch them get to work. The women won't put up with red tape when their boys are in the army, and their husbands are out of jobs, because small factories are put out of business. In closing, I want to say to you, keep going. Sincerely yours. . . ." Drafted mothers of our nation, I urge you to do what this father advised me to do: "Keep going." Speak your minds on this "small business" problem; make your voices heard. There are not sufficient large businesses to take care of our war needs. But aside from that, to favor a few to the disadvantage of many, is not the basis upon which our democracy is built. For there were more workers in factories employing seven or less persons, than in those that had a large number on their payroll. There should be no want for any, at a time when all hands are needed to bring the war to a successful conclusion at the earliest possible moment. Neither want for your soldier sons because of lack in equipment, nor want for civilians because of lack in useful occupation. (Copyright 1942)

Diary of a Beauty Authority

By HELENA RUBINSTEIN (In this week's column, the noted beauty expert gives the women readers of The Riviera a lesson in make-up.) NEW YORK — A famous French poet named Berryer once said: "There are no ugly women; there are only women who do not know how to look pretty." I should like to paraphrase the latter part of this oft-quoted remark to read: "There are only women who do not know how to use make-up." The truth of that remark was brought home forcibly to me a few evenings ago, when I attended a performance of "Aida" at the famous old Metropolitan Opera House. As I strolled through the lobby at intermission time, I could not help noticing how exceptionally well-groomed the women looked, the brilliance of their evening gowns and fine jewels perfectly supplemented by the skillful application of rouge, powder and lipstick. Each of the women had developed her natural beauty to its fullest extent and to me, this illustrated very clearly that the art of make-up is becoming more and more an exact science. Women are learning that a slap-dash application of lipstick, face powder and eye make-up is not enough, and that there are many subtle ways by which the features can be dramatized and facial defects completely hidden through the proper make-up methods. The newest method of applying make-up constructively is the diagrammatical method, or the make-up chart. It is a well-known fact that no woman's face is absolutely symmetrical. Many women have eyes which do not match exactly, a nose which is larger on one side than the other, or lips which are not shaped the same way on both sides of the face. By charting the face, it can be seen at once where these features occur and how they can be corrected. If the nose appears larger on one side of the face than the other, a balance can be achieved by using darker foundation. If the eyes do not match exactly, proper eye make-up will correct this defect. In charting the face, a lipstick brush or eyebrow pencil can be used. Before beginning to chart the face, remove every bit of old make-up, dust or grime with a pasteurizer face cream; the face must be thoroughly clean to begin with. The first step is a foundation cream, and this is applied in five large dots, on the forehead, nose, chin and cheeks, so that the foundation can be smoothed evenly over the entire surface of the face. For applying face powder, the face is first divided in half and then diagrammed in arcs, so that the powder can be blend-ed in dark and light tones in accordance with the contours of the face. Triangles are used for the placement of rouge and little up-and-down lines for lip-stick and eye make-up. The essential make-up cosmetics, whether you are sixteen or sixty, are powder and lip- Please Turn to Page 7
