TEETHING PAINS Which Deodorant wins your vote? □ CREAM? □ POWDER? □ LIQUID? For ordinary uses, you may prefer one type of deodorant, your neighbor another. But for one purpose — important to you and to every woman — there's no room for argument. Use Powder for Sanitary Napkins For while creams and liquids are suitable for general use, a powder is best for sanitary napkins. That's because a powder has no moisture-resistant base; doesn't retard napkin absorption. Use Powder for Sanitary Napkins There's one powder created especially for this purpose— QUEST* POWDER — soft, soothing, safe. It's the Kotex* Deodorant, approved by the Kotex laboratories. Being unscented', it doesn't merely cover up one odor with another. Quest Powder destroys napkin odor completely. It's your sure way to avoid offending. Many months' supply, only 35c.

(151 in Canada) Dept. 2 presents the flowers to the girl whose dance he most enjoyed. As Maureen O'Hara enters the Canteen a sailor rushes up excitedly. "I knew you'd be here," he said. "You just had to be! I've come 3000 miles to see you and I've taken a lot of ribbing from the fellows because I kept saying I knew I'd meet you. They're coming over now to see what's happening." As the group of skeptical buddies surged toward them, Maureen turned to the sailor with her sweetest smile, saying. "Shall we dance? I've been waiting for this." The stars dress simply, the idea being to look like the girls the boys have left at home. A husky marine keeps dancing with Alexis Smith until she suggests he meet some of the other girls. "Oh no," he says, "I'd be scared stiff to dance with a glamorous movie star. I like a regular girl, like you." After dancing with Fred Astaire all day at the studio for their picture, "The Sky's the Limit," Joan Leslie pulled herself together and went on to the Canteen to keep her weekly record intact. Toward the last of the evening her soldier partner stopped suddenly, saying, "I thought all movie girls could dance. But you certainly can't." Driving to the Canteen, two servicemen signaled Betty Grable for a ride. As she took them in she asked if they were going to the Canteen. "Not us," they answered. "We aren't fooled. The real movie stars don't go, they send their stand-ins." As Betty let them out her scarf dropped from her head and the light shone full on her face. "Holy snakes !" they chorused. "It's Betty Grable in person — on to the Canteen !" The girls never trade on their fame and if not recognized, they simply give their first name. Bonita Granville says that at every camp she visited on her recent tour, boys rushed up and using her nickname, greeted her with "Hello, Bun. Remember, you danced with me at the Hollywood Canteen? Gee, but we had a swell time." Bonita added, "This always gives me a thrill for it shows that our wonderful Canteen is weaving a friendly thread throughout our armies." There was a touch of pathos the night Anne Shirley was dancing with a selfconscious soldier who told her he was sailing the next day. He extravagantly praised her acting, her beauty, and confessed she was his favorite star. Then he asked, "How is your sister Joan?" Anne realized he had mistaken her for Olivia de Havilland, who was not there that night. She couldn't bear to tear down his illusions, so decided not to tell him who she was. Perhaps in some far-away camp a lonely soldier dreams of a dance he had with his idol, Olivia. Marlene Dietrich efficiently does everything from cutting cake, washing dishes, serving at the snack bar, to doing her turn in the evening shows. The well-known singer, Walter Woolf King, is Master of Ceremonies and arranges special programs for two super-floor shows each night. The Canteen is ooen Sunday afternoons from two until eight, and there's usually a concert, with John Charles Thomas, Nelson Eddy, Jeanette MacDonald, and other top singers when they are in town. Eddie Cantor and George Jessel are regular attractions. Frequently Eddie brings his radio show over from NBC studio. Charlie McCarthy hauls in Edgar Bergen for one of their skits, and Kay Kyser, Red Skelton, Rudy Vallee, Dinah Shore, Betty Hutton Ginny Simms are others who never forget the Canteen. The mothers of the film stars take over every Monday night, some seventy or eighty of them, becoming hostesses, kitchen crew apd serving at the snack bar.
