Dance, move, walk in freedom ... all summer long

We've said it so often that there probably isn't a girl in America who doesn't know: "You can swim wearing Tampax." But we have been taken to task for not saying more often, more forcefully: "Dancing can be fun again when you wear Tampax." Tampax gives you complete freedom of motion; in fact, you're apt to all but forget about differences in days of the month. There can be no chafing or irritation from Tampax® because it absorbs internally. Since you're not wearing added bulk, there can be no reason for excess perspiration. And odor is prevented because there's no exposure to the air. Carrying Tampax, changing and disposing of Tampax-is never a problem. Actually, there's just no way for anyone to tell that you have any monthly difficulties. So enjoy yourself all summer long the Tampax way. It's easier to use than you think-and far nicer than you dreamed! TAMPAX Incorporated Palmer, Mass. NO BELTS NO PINS NO PADS NO ODOR

Occupation-Mother!

Continued from page 23 odd hours -- very odd hours, she readily admits. Her outside career leans heavily upon a combination housekeeper-nursemaid named Mabel. "This treasure," says Mabel's employer, "has been saving my sanity for nine years. I'd give her last name, but I'm afraid somebody will steal her." Mabel arrives at 7:30 in the morning and takes command through early dinner. Her efforts are supplemented by a once-a-week cleaning man. It all helps, but Mrs. Kerr has yet to take up rug weaving for lack of something to do around the house. A constant problem is rounding up baby sitters during theater season. Mabel sleeps in two nights a week, but for a solid stretch of openings the Kerrs have to fill in with sitters. "I've got to cultivate some new sitters," she says. "My last year's supply have gone off to college." With Mabel manning the barricades and the four older boys in school much of the day, Mrs. Kerr ought to have plenty of writing time-"if it weren't for the thirty-eight phone calls I get every afternoon." The Kerr family would do almost anything rather than answer the phone. "Walter can pull out the plug," his wife says with admiration, "but I can't. I'm too nosy." Typical of the call that drives her wild was a recent one from a gelatin manufacturer. "They wanted me to endorse a crash diet," she recalls. "I'm dieting, all right. But not in public." With it all, Mother Kerr manages to record her wit and wisdom with notable success. Known to the world as a successful author, she is nevertheless unimpressed with her fame. "Most of the time," she admits, "I feel that I'm a plain, ordinary housewife. I'm home all day. What's more, I wouldn't take a job away from home for all the money in the world." WHILE she doesn't think that her presence is vital to the children's well-being, she does feel that their presence is vital to hers. "The older they get," she says, "the harder they are to leave because they get more and more interesting." Mrs. Kerr is not immune to occasional doubts. She reproaches herself for going to the theater as often as she does. ("I ought to be around to check the children's homework.") And she sometimes wonders if she ought to be doing more church and community work. (She is a member of the Mothers' Club of her boys' parochial school, and she hasn't missed a Parents' Day yet.) But she is sensible enough to admit that with five boys and a play and a book all spinning at the same time, something's got to give. What "gives" is organization work and a complicated social life. Her reading ("mostly trashy modern novels") is jet-propelled. Her social circle is limited to a few close friends. One routine that never "gives" is a regular Sunday night family session when the boys recite poems and listen to poetry on records. "Walter insisted that our children should know and understand poetry. The older kids thought it was silly at first, but you should hear them now. They choose their own selections to memorize and they love it."

'23 skidoo and a Side Car, too

The Twenties - Fads, flivvers, flappers. Era of wonderful nonsense... Paris cafes jammed with Americans and Frenchmen enjoying that inspired mixture of Cointreau Liqueur, Cognac and lemon juice, whimsically tagged the Side Car. The Sixties-The Side Car rides again... the wicked 20's are back and famous Cordials by Cointreau are the rage at fashionable gatherings. The Side Car-1/3 Cointreau Liqueur, 1/3 lemon juice, 1/3 Cognac (or, change proportions to taste). Shake well with cracked ice. The Side Car is only one of many colorful, conversation-piece drinks made with Cordials by Cointreau.
