Photoplay (Jul - Dec 1943)

Marsha Hunt Says, ^crJz JZ-^fZj) — treat him like one of the family. Let him relax, read magazines, be comfortable. I think the really big thing is not to put on any airs. Just be natural and gay. After those long hours of marching, the boys love being "at ease." Let them feel that way in your company. Make it seem as if they were doing you a favor by being your guest. And so they are. Paulette Goddard Says, &*?^ -^Ce^t ^ — dress a little extreme. You know — with voom to take their minds off the boom! Get yourself up to make the boys look. Soft, swishy materials, lovely colors, lines that are strictly d la jemme. Trot out the high heels, fresh flowers and intriguing veils. Walk proudly. Keep that sparkle in your eye. These are days when every girl has to have direct eye-appeal, because there's no time to "finesse" her personality on the lads in service. So . . . look so immaculate they'll think you just came out of cellophane — and so feminine they'll be whispering "Moonlight becomes you!" photoplay combined with movie mirror, july, 1943 Anne Shirley Says, (\^ s4A~kj\jt— JCh — let him see how proud you are of him. That's essential, whether he's a buck private or a colonel. It's his war. It's true he'll have the glory and the excitement, but he'll also have the danger and the hardships. And because you are proud of him, don't "play down" to him. I mean, because he is a soldier don't lower your standards of values and let yourself be swept away. Cheapness attracts only the undesirables, as we all know. We have the finest men in the world in our Army and Navy. They're fighting for ideals we have to live up to. So show him how proud you are of all he does. Let him feel it in your conversation, in your letters when he's away. He'll respond — and quickly.
