Stronger Grip Won't Slip Out ASK FOR t-Jt'otg™ ) Every time SPECIALTIES Iru j\l\OMi CianirjlSXdyi THE three pretty girls lending beauty to this page are Patsy Lee, charming and petite nineteen-year-old songstress on Don McNeill's Breakfast Club, and Charlotte Manson and Mercedes McCambridge, who are both featured on This Is Nora Drake. Charlotte and Mercedes also play on Theater of Today. If you're a real radio fan, you have heard Mercedes' voice on Grand Central Station and Studio One, too. Radio work is fascinating fun, all three enthusiastically agree. But it can be, and is, hard work — especially in the heat of the summer. For, even as you and I, who also have to keep on working (except on our vacations, of course), they can't help wishing that they could spend more time just trying to keep cool. The best way they've found to keep their minds off the heat is to concentrate on bringing you good entertainment. In so doing, for the time being they can forget about how warm they feel, which proves a point— that if you don't dwell on something unpleasant, it won't bother you. Despite the heat, however, Patsy, Charlotte, and Mercedes feel that it's important to look their prettiest — not alone for their pride's sake, but also because it matters very much to them what others think of their appearance. Every woman understands this. But not every woman knows how to keep cool and dainty-looking in warm weather. So, we asked them for their special beauty hints. Patsy takes two lukewarm scented tub baths daily — morning and late afternoon, and dons clean underwear each time. After every wearing, she rinses out her underthings immediately. She alternates between using cologne, toilet water, deodorant cologne, or deodorant perfume, which has been chilled in the refrigerator. Their light floral fragrances match or blend with the scent of the fresh flowers she frequently wears in her hair, or pinned at her waist on a dainty cotton frock. In humid weather she shampoos her hair more often, so that it always looks as bright and clean as she is, and brushes it a lot. The home permanent wave Patsy has learned to give herself ; '. ■:>■.:,? ... '■■.' ...... Patsy Lee: "Flowers can make a summer." Mercedes McCambridge: "Feet first!" Charlotte Manson: "Daintiness counts ! " keeps her hair nicely in curl — in soft, natural-looking waves. Charlotte takes no chances on offending; she uses an underarm deodorant and perspiration check. A face mask makes her skin feel and look refreshed. Bath powder, dusted on her body after bathing, lets her girdle slide on easily, and the heat emphasizes the powder's fragrance. Like Patsy and Charlotte, Mercedes feels that daintiness is never so important as it is in warm weather. She, too, follows the same beauty rituals. But, in addition, she pays special attention to her feet. She gives them frequent foot baths to relieve soreness and swelling, dusts them with an antiseptic and deodorizing foot powder, and also sprinkles some of it in her shoes.
