April Showers ... a perfume made to match your on-top-of-the-world moods ... of equal parts romance and laughter, with just a whisper of mystery. Enchanting fragrance for enchanted hours! Perfume, 6.50; 3.50; 1.10 — Toilet Water, 1.75 ( Plus tax) Come into the Kitchen, Darling ( Continued from page 65) a pale, lilywhite hand, if I have to. But I’d be bored. Besides, it will be much more fun, I think, in my new life in my new house to be active and competent and vigorous and so perhaps find the new glamour. As I see it, glamour from now on will not only act differently but will dress differently, too; for the new servantless world — let’s face it — is bound to affect our clothes drastically. We can’t very well teeter on spike heels, or trail chiffons in the kitchen. We will tend to low heels, I think, simple hair-dos that can be done in the morning and stay done, less makeup, no nail goo. And to cotton dresses that are gay, imaginative, tubbable and inexpensive. (Price never has had anything to do with making clothes attractive, but only the spending of imagination.) Cotton dresses like the divine cotton cooking things I love to put on when I come home after a rough day in the studio. I doubt if there will be any more Paris, any more looking abroad for fashions. That world, too, is gone. And a good thing. The smartest girls in the world, for my money, are the girls who work in offices; with their slim figures, gay little hats, ears and eyes alert and alive, and huge bags containing everything you would need on a desert island, typewriters included. So, my chickadees, here’s to the glamour girl of today and tomorrow. Here’s to the girl who can mix him a cocktail to perfection, cock him a dinner to remember (or let him cook one for her), give him a well-coordinated attractively capsuled summary of Today’s problems, tell him the latest quip and, in the same breath, that he’s awfully nice. You will not find her alone in Tomorrow’s kitchen, which, like Grandmother’s, will be the heart of the house — but will look, oh, so different!
