to praise or condemn me. I have picked up many valuable suggestions in these letters of commendation."
Virginia Verrill : "Yes, especially my Fan Club mail, because I know that those letters are from people who really have my interest at heart."
Jose Manzanares: "Of course it does. There are many people who know plenty about my work in this country. The fan mail deserves great consideration."
Bob Crosby: "Yes, from my fan mail I am able to ascertain the type of music the listeners enjoy most, what kind of songs they do or do not want me to sing, and with the frequently excellent criticisms I am able to improve my band and my radio programs.''
Bob Burns : "Yes, it has been very encouraging, so far — thank Heavens."
Lennie Hayton: "My fan mail guides me in the selection of musical numbers. I like to present my arrangements of compositions that fans like to hear."
Does a poor performance give you an attack of "blues" or do you accept if philosophically?
Nino Martini: "Like most artists, I of course endeavor to give the very best performance possible on each occasion, but I am seldom entirely satisfied with any
program I render. I do not, however, allow this to give me the 'blues.' "
Fritzi Schcff : "1 have not as yet found my perfect performance, nor do I think I give a poor performance cither."
Parks Johnson: Of course a poor performance depresses me. That feeling of depression soon passes, however, and I dig in earnestly to discover why it was not up to standard. After a poor performance, the most important thing in the world is the next performance, and giving way to a fit of blues for any length of time will impose a terrible handicap on the preparation of that next job."
Jcrrv Belcher: callv.""
"Accept it philosophi
Olga Albani : "I don't get over a poor performance for days, knowing that J could have done this or that to have avoided "what I felt was a performance not up to my standard "
Bing Crosby: "The word is 'anger.' "
Loretta Lee: "I don't believe anyone can be completely indifferent after giving a bad performance, but I try my best to chalk it up to experience, and benefit by my mistakes "

Deems Taylor : "I accept it philosophically. Would God the sponsor did!"
Betty Lou Gerson: "I'm afraid it is a little difficult to accept it philosophically, as each performance is a final one and
wc are not allowed to correct poor impressions by sterling performances on the same show the next evening. A first show is a last one, and we have to be judged on merit by one performance."
Ray Perkins: "My impression is that every performer strikes some sour notes at one time or another. This is particularly true in comedy where one is dependent so much on material. Any of us so-called 'funny men' must have our 'off' times. I feel chagrined and mad at myself, but I immediately start looking forward to the next golden opportunity."
Captain Tim Healy : "Sometimes we have a bad day and our program is not as good as it should be. I don't get the 'blues' over it, but I certainly do feel pretty cheap after being invited into a home to tell a story and then making blunders in telling that story."
Virginia Verrill: "A poor performance gives me the 'bluest of blues' and I do not get over it until I have redeemed myself by giving a good performance."
Lennie Hayton: "A poor performance does not give me an attack of blues nor do I accept it as 'one of those things.' I try to utilize the mistakes that caused the poor performance in such a way so that I may avoid them in the future."
Ozzie Nelson : "A bad performance annoys me for hours — sometimes days. In fact, I still remember some lousy ones that I gave a couple of years ago."
Keep Young and Beautiful

comfortable and painless as possible, I can even suggest a mosquito repellant for you. This is highly practical when you're going in for shorts and sleeveless dresses. It is a greaseless, stainless, fragrant cream. Apply it generously on all the exposed parts, rub it in thoroughly and allow just a few seconds for it to be absorbed. This cream will make your vacation a happy hunting for you, rather than for the mosquitoes !
With the mosquito diet out of the way, let us give a little attention to that reducing diet yen with which most of us are bitten yearly when we catch sight of our figures in bathing suit or shorts. Milk and leafy vegetables offer a healthful combination for a reducing diet. Lettuce, cabbages, spinach, swiss chard, beet tops — all these green leafy vegetables yield the greatest health-giving values because Nature stores her vital mineral elements in thin leaves. It might be well to remember that figures often are most healthy when they, too, come in thin packages. Thin leaves are rich in organic minerals, besides containing the other vitamins common to all green plants. One theory as to why these organic minerals are so important in nutrition is that the minerals in the body carry electric impulses to our tissues ; they vitalize us and fill us with life and energy. If more women were sold on that theory, perhaps there would be less foolish and less dangerous dieting fads. I know a doctor who
lists these three things as having the greatest importance for creating health and skin beauty : lettuce, carrots, milk. In any summertime reducing diet, it is well to include liberal amounts of all three. Milk and thin-leafed plants really are your safeguards, for they are known as equalizers or balancing foods which, if used liberally, make up for occasional irregularities or deficiencies in diet.
Now I have prepared a special milk diet bulletin for you which also outlines a practical week-end milk diet that probably will prove much more workable for the majority of you than the strict weekly diet. The milk diet bulletin is yours for the sending in of the coupon.
Milk not only is a great reducing and building food, but it is a great beautifier. Milk is real skin food. It seems to have a direct effect on the skin, helping to keep it soft and pliable. There are several milk creams I think you ought to know about because they actually incorporate pure milk in their formulas. One is a massage cream which contains eighty per cent, pure, fresh milk. Directions and diagrams come with the cream so that you will know exactly how to give yourself a soothing facial. There also is milky lotion you'll like, which blends beautifully into the skin and makes the perfect summer powder base. It gives rich, nonsticky protection for dry skin.
After all, it isn't how long a vacation you get, but what you do with it that
counts. A week-end on the milk diet, allowing yourself as much relaxation and sunshine as possible, with a few soul pampering facials, will leave you rejuvenated in body and mind.
What if you have planned a very grand vacation at the seaside and you end up for a week-end or week at Aunt Clara's farm? You can do noble things for your figure when you climb haystacks, jump fences, and hike along country roads or in sweet-smelling woods. Fresh air for filling your lungs with oxygen ; gardens that produce a harvest of complexion and figure beautifying foods; pure fresh milk and water for keeping clean both inside and out, sunshine for filling your bodies and hearts, woods and lakes that stimulate you to use your bodies in rejuvenating exercise and outdoor sports . . . these things are free.
