Screenland (Nov 1950-Oct 1951)

Don't be by VALDA SHERMAN Many mysterious changes take place in your body as you mature. Now, the apocrine glands under your arms begin to secrete daily a new type of perspiration containing milky substances which will — if they reach your dress — cause ugly stains and clinging odor. You'll face this problem throughout womanhood. It's not enough merely to stop the odor of this perspiration. You must now use a deodorant that stops the perspiration itself before it reaches — and ruins — your clothes. As doctors know, not all deodorants stop both perspiration and odor. But Arrid does! It's been proved that the new cream deodorant Arrid stops underarm perspiration 1 to 3 days safely— keeps underarms dry and sweet. Remember this, too. Arrid's antiseptic action kills odor on contact — prevents formation of odor up to 48 hours and keeps you "shower-bath" fresh. And it's safe for skin — safe for fabrics. So, don't be half-safe. Don't risk your happiness with half-safe deodorants. Be Arrid-safe! Use Arrid to be sure. Arrid with Creamogen will not dry out, and it's so pleasant and easy to apply. Get Arrid today.

There's one career in our home and that's Dennis' and if anybody ever suggests anything different there'll be a slight explosion from me. Why, not so long ago some of the pictures I had made in the past began appearing on television. To me, they were all made fifteen years ago. It's my system for dating the "things." Dennis and I had just moved into our new house and several workmen were around repairing things and making changes. Up to then they had bowed and scraped to Dennis, but one day I began to get the attention and the low bows from these men. The reason popped out when they told me they'd seen me on television. So was I flattered? I was not. I actually resented their compliments. And when friends of mine say now that I should go on with my work I boil inside. Believe me, there's nothing more important to me than to go on the way I am now. I want to stand behind my husband and help him and be a credit to the happiness I have. People have often asked me what I consider Dennis' most admirable trait. How can I make up a list when he has so many fine qualities? Oh, I can say he's the most understanding and the most patient person I ever met. And he is. He has more patience than Job. Even the little habits he has that might be considered annoying are really credits. Take his slowness, for example. I'm a very fast person. I like to do everything in a hurry. When we're going out, I'll say, "Honey, we're late. Please hurry." Dennis will calmly reply, "That's all right, dear. There's no rush." And he flashes a big smile at me — and what can I do? Yet, this take his time, this patience, is so right. He's taught me it doesn't pay to get myself in an uproar. Nothing gets done any faster by rushing. Probably the one thing I feel is typical of Dennis is his completely unselfish consideration. He thinks so little of himself and so much of others. This began almost from the time we met. But I do remember certain instances of his kindness and thoughtfulness. The day we were married in Arizona I had just flown in from New York where I'd been on tour. I had no time to buy any wardrobe suitable for an Arizona climate. So after the ceremony and when we got to our hotel Dennis opened the closet and there was a complete wardrobe for me. He had bought everything I could possibly need for a desert resort area. How many men would think of doing a thing like that? He's always been too extravagant when it comes to buying me things. But everything is a complete surprise. He plans it that way. One morning when I awoke he said, "Darling, there are no cigarettes here in the box by my bed. Would you go down in the den and get some for me?" This was unlike Dennis because he never asks me to wait on him. I went downstairs and what I saw almost made me faint. He had bought stone martins and had literally covered the couch with them. I dashed upstairs yelling excitedly. He just grinned at me, reached under the covers, pulled out some cigarettes and said, "Oh, they were here all the time." Then there was the time when I found it hard to play the piano in the living room. Jimmy, our son, was very young then and I didn't like to disturb him by practising, and yet I wanted so much to bang away. We had a small room in the back, so one day Dennis presented me with a small piano and put it in the room. I was then able to play without bothering anyone. I can also never forget what was probably his biggest surprise. I'd had a serious operation on my hip and wasn't able to drive my car anymore because I couldn't shift the gears. One day, Jimmy came rushing into the house and said, "Come outside, mommy, and see what I've done." So I did — and there in the driveway was Dennis beaming by a brand new car — with an automatic shift. It was a present for me! So you think these aren't important things just because they involved a lot of money? Well, I haven't regarded them with dollar signs. They were rather thoughtful kindnesses that any woman would treasure. Besides, he's done so much for me that involved little or no money at all. There was a beautiful cigarette case he gave me recently on — of all days— Mother's Day. Inside the case was a card which read: "To the most wonderful mother of Jimmy and Julie from a lucky husband." (Julie is my daughter from my previous marriage) . This was so sweet that it made me forget how much I resent the commercialism of the day itself. It was while I was in the hospital that Dennis outdid himself in being attentive. 1 used to worry so much about him and Jimmy. Julie was away at school at the time. I would fuss and carry on and Dennis would say quietly, "We're eating, Jimmy wears a clean shirt to school every day, and we're keeping the house in order, so don't worry." Dennis, who loathes everything about housekeeping, was taking care of every detail. He was doing exactly what I would have done if I'd been home. When I did get back from the hospital he made me feel like a real queen. He even did some cooking. He'd ask me how to fix a steak or a salad and I'd give him the instructions. Soon he'd be back upstairs with my dinner — and it was a good one too. Now that I'm better he still fusses at me when I walk too much. He's always trying to wait on me — and all the time I want to be up and doing things myself. I have to confess that I do a lot more walking around when he's not home. I love to do little things for him too — 64
