Modern Screen (Jan-Nov 1944)

love. Love is something based on common interests, common ideals, mutual respect. We would say that if nothing has come of it after five years, you are wasting yourself on a lost cause. However, give him one last chance. Make an all-out effort to attract him. If he just won't look your way, forget him. Concentrate on his faults, think how dopey he is not to fall for you, stop day-dreaming about him. It won't happen overnight, but if you try, you can forget this phantom romance and get on with something more tangible. I had a beau, but I lost him to another gal. I'm still crazy about him. How can I get him back? Bette M., Detroit, Mich. Don't try, Bette. That's one of the lessons we gals learn hardest. When itfs over for him, let him go. The only consolation is that when one member of a combination chills, it almost certainly was not a solid click. In another month or so, you would have been the one on the jilting end. Hard to believe, isn't it, when right now your heart is an open wound? Believe us, though, it's true. I promised a sweet G.I. I'd wait. Meantime an old flame has turned up, and this really is "it" for both of us. He's in the Army, too, but come V-day, we have plans. How shall I break it to the first boy? — Donna P., Seattle, Wash. Don't break it yet. There's many a slip 'twixt now and V-day, and maybe there'll be a Marine in the picture by then. Lei the first soldier know you are dating a little bit, but don't break his heart with the news that you plan on marrying this other boy until it's all set. When the war is over, who knows — maybe the number one man will still be number one man. Gosh, slick ones, it is good to hear from you all. If we're a bit slow getting round to your problem, 'scuse us, won't you? We'll answer it just as soon as it hits the top of the pile. Letters with initials or those without proper addresses cannot be answered personally, of course, but we'll try to take care of as many of those as we can in our Co-Ed articles and in the Question Box which will appear each month. Meanwhile, thank you for writing, and if your sisters or cousins or aunts have problems, too, just send 'em around to us. You know where to tell them to write, don't you?

Her unerring taste is reflected in the smooth, casual perfection of her make-up. "When my skin seems the least bit rough or dull, I give my face a quick beauty 'pick-up' with a 1-Minute Mask," Mrs. Whitney says. "Right away my skin feels smoother — and looks so much clearer and brighter. Good make-up then is no problem at all ! " Mrs. Robert Bacon Whitney — one of the society beauties who loves the 1-Minute Mask How to "re-style" your completion w i t h the 1-Minute Mask Smooth a fragrant, white mask of Pond's Vanishing Cream over your whole face — except eyes.

After just one minute tissue the mask off — clean. Your re-styled complexion looks lighter .... fresher !

Conserve glass, manpower — buy one large jar of Pond's instead of several smaller ones. I
