BABY HAIR TREATMENT people like Gorgeous George go throi i 1 his television paces. She’s always been bug for the latest gadgets in radio or ai thing. But she doesn’t clutter up her hou i. I remember Joan’s “white” peri;. Everything in the house, including Jo , had to be white. She even painted 1: beautiful mahogany grand piano white > l match the drapes, carpet and furniture i I the big drawing room. And Joan alwi; dressed in white for the room. White has been discarded as a colo;along with Joan’s gardenia phase. £; used to flood the house with the hea\t smelling flowers and always wore cj i in her hair or pinned to her belt or han . i bag. She still, however, groups the fun, ture to suit the dress she is wearing. : she’s in pastels, she’ll invite you into t^ pastel drawing room. IF ONLY, say Joan’s friends, she woi^ leave well enough alone and look at l" mansion and say “There it is — this is t way I like it.” But no. She keeps on i doing and redecorating it over and o\ again. It’s like her non-stop knitting all stems from the same restlessness. Tl” is probably why Joan has her month scrubbing binges. At least twelve times a year she cleif everything — a husband if she has one the time-out into the garden. Thl armed with pounds and pounds of cleai ing soaps and fluids, a pail and two stro | scrubbing brushes, Joan, for hours thl add up to days, scrubs and scrubs tl house from top to bottom, and I mei scrubs. Joan’s passion for perfection has c( her an army of servants, as well as h husbands. I don’t think even a quiz kli.i could add up the number of help that hatj : been hired and fired by Miss Crawford i. the twenty years of her willing slavery IP her home. Because Joan insists, regar less of personal discomfort, on havi everything just the way she wants it. _ She likes to do things in the very gra™manner. Even when she puts a diaper iT one of her babies, she manages to suggi a queen doing something regal for favored subject. When she’s on a diet, i still a ceremonial rite. A simple glass carrot juice will be carried by her butl — if she has one at the time — into the hi ger of her two dining rooms and served her with the dignity of a state functicl A simple solo meal of cold tongue ai salad calls for silver butter plates, t'jj best cut glass and the most exquisite tal" linen, that is rushed to the laundry ir mediately afterwards. Franchot Tone, Joan’s second husbai and a blue blood in his own right, wilt under the magnificent way of living. I now finds happiness with blonde Je: Wallace who boasts about how imperfe she is! Now I’m wondering, if Joan is wonde ing whether so much perfection is payiii oft. Because the last time I was in h home, Joan invited me to the large pla; room that runs the full length of the lot swimming pool. As we curled picturesque, ly on the oversized divan, and ate tl special cottage cheese and clam concoctii invented by Joan, she suddenly notici that there were some ashes in the a;, trays. “I haven’t been in here for thn" days,” Joan told me, emptying them. the old early days and up to a few montl'' ago, that could never have happened. So maybe there’s a change comin Maybe Joan has started, subconsciousL to realize that perfection is not necessari® the key to happiness. That no one can IJ perfect all the time, not a man, not ** woman, not a house. When that happeril will happy days be here for Joan? The End
