The Ryans aren't a religious family in the church going sense. Mother sent my sister Peggy and me to Sunday School when Peg was eight and I was four as a matter of routine. Peggy quit Sunday School at eighteen. My younger sister, Junie — she's sixteen — and I will always go to church, I believe, for it means a lot to us. "I sing in the St. Cecelia Choir and I'm manager of the church's basketball team. Most of the girls on the team have full-time jobs and it's easier for me to handle the business end, make arrangements to play different teams, things like that. I work Friday nights when we broadcast and Thursday mornings when we rehearse and I have to meet people and have pictures taken in between. But I couldn't say I work more than two whole days and one evening a week altogether. I like being manager better than being captain. Because when I was captain I was always afraid to give orders, to tell any girl she had to get her uniform on, to put anyone off the court or take someone else on. And once when I found the courage to say, 'Let's take Dorothy out of the game and put Ethel in,' some of the girls questioned me right out there on the floor. 'Just because you're on the radio you think you're somebody,' one of the them said later in the dressing-room. I think anybody who uses your work to put you down is terribly unfair. Almost every time it has happened I haven't been able to answer. I've just walked away. But that time I said plenty. I was very angry and I screamed a little, I think. Anyway I told the girls I didn't think it was any honor to be captain and do all the work unless they were with me. I told them everything I had been thinking and I had been thinking a great deal in my spare time. Everyone kissed and we went home in the end. But it was a bad time. I just hate to feel all stirred up inside, the way I did that time and the way I do any time people talk against England. That always gets my mother and me standing against them shoulder to shoulder. My grandmother's in London right now. We send her what we can but you aren't allowed to send much — tea and sugar . . ." NOW on Friday nights there are some members of New York's fine Metropolitan Club who wait quietly for eight o'clock when Ryan will turn the radio to Claudia and David and, listening, they'll remember their youth and be refreshed, like weary travellers at a rushing stream. As the program ended the other evening a gentleman with a florid face and a white walrus mustache and a life-long interest in genealogy approached Ryan intently. "Is it from you or Mrs. Ryan that Miss Pat inherits her remarkable ability?" he asked solemnly. "She doesn't get it from either of us," Ryan explained. "All my life when I haven't been a waiter I've been a soldier. I served in the Spanish-American war and it was when I was a dough-boy in London, years ago, that I met Pat's mother — during an air-raid. And we were married a few weeks later." "Which goes to prove you can't believe what you hear," chuckled the gentleman with the walrus mustache "What about all these people who insist no good ever comes of a war romance like yours? Ryan, you ought to introduce them to Claudia — I mean. Miss Patsy." Beauty While You Work (Continued from page 9) bath full of warm, soft water is more definitely a beauty and health aid for me. Not nearly enough of us are as careful about this daily routine as we should be. For a more effective bath, next time do the real work first. Cover yourself with suds from head to toe, using a soapy wash cloth. Then fold a towel for a head rest, climb into the tub and stretch out full length and really relax. Now is the time of day for a facial that you can give yourself with a minimum of time and a maximum of effect. There is a surprising variety you can try at practically no expense. There are the beauty masks that you can buy at the five and ten that will draw the blood to the surface, tighten the skin and remove all excess and dead skin. Then there is the homemade two-minute facial for use when you're behind schedule or when your husband calls at the last minute and says there'll be company. Do this and you'll have your facial — in a flash. FORM a soft paste with one or two yeast cakes and enough witch hazel to soften. Spread on smoothly and leave for a minute or two until it dries. Remove it with cold water. Your face will feel as bright and beautiful as it looks. By timing yourself right up to the minute, you can make your every-day beauty routine as automatic as brushing your teeth. Be consistent. Consistency always brings the results. If the day has left you all in, take another minute for a quick pickup. Before your bath, sprinkle table salt over yourself and rub off with a moist sponge. You will tingle all over, your nerve ends will be less tense and you'll find life worth living again. Another trick is a handful of washing soda in your bath for a pep-youupper. For feet that have been stood upon all day, try a white iodine-oil massage. (Half a teaspoonful of white iodine mixed with an ounce of oil.) Cold witch hazel compresses over your eyes and forehead will help relieve a headache brought on by too much work, too little food and too much worry. For that afternoon when in spite of everything you haven't time for a shower and you have to cool off, rub your face and neck with gauze-covered ice and use chilled cleansing cream. To remain cool, pat chilled talcum powder in the crook of your arms and behind your knees. It's six and dinner is about to be served. Now you must put your best face forward. Take five minutes to put on makeup, even if it makes the meal five minutes late. It's better to be late and beautiful than early and unattractive. Ask your husband! RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
