The Girdle Is
All-Important
Garment
What it takes to be in fashion
in America now.
Some may say the hat, dress,'
suit, coat or shoes. —But I say,
“What you put on first has the
last word—a girdle—this is fash
ion’s most important foundation.
One that is a perfect “fit”, gentle
control, and all day comfort. Many
corset specialists say that a girdle
i_l
that isn’t comfortable when you
buy it—doesn’t fit. Always sit
down in a girdle before you buy
it—it’s the hardest comfort test.
Vogue’s big news is—girdles are
now in contest with thistledown
for weightlessness and with stock
ings for sheerness. One corset
maker, for instance, is now making
a 56-gauge power net girdle, which
you wouldn’t think could hold a
puff of smoke in shape, but which
govern’s us firmly as the old sub
stantial garments.
Women like color — result:
bureau drawers will open this year
on yellow, lilac, coral, green, beige,
and, of course, red brassieres and
girdles. (Could it be that white
will soon be the rarety?)

Manhattan
Prexy Is A
Busy Man
UNION CITY, N.J.—Manhattan
Borough President Hulan Jack,
holder of the highest elective of
fice ever held by a Negro in
America, “doesn’t have much time
for dreaming these days. But
there is plenty to shudder about,
if he were the type,” according
to an article in the January issue
of The Sign, national Catholic
magazine published here.
As borough president, the arti
cle points out. “Jack holds the
purse strings to a five and a half
million dollar budget, supervises
close to 1,500 employees, is re- i
sponsible for the housing of two
million residents, the condition
of 500 miles of streets and sew
ers and the unraveling of prob
ably the world’s worst traffic
headaches.”
Written by William M. Healy,
the article says that Jack’s favor
ite form of relaxation used to be
taking his shoes off after a tough
day at the office and stretching
out in front of the television set
to watch a good wrestling or box
ing match. “Lately, however, he
has ben getting home to late, to
even see the late, late show.”
In addition to his administra
tive duties, Jack’s heavy schedule
calls upon him to play the roles
of stump speaker, cornerstone
layer, ribbon snipper, and greet
er of visiting foreign potentates.
Says Healy: “Thanks to an al
most holy regard for these re
sponsibilities, Jack has probably
used more implements in the
line of duty than any other man
in his position.”
In his frequent speeches to in- j
terracial and interfaith groups, j
to trade associations and Com
munion breakfasts, Jack is a vig |
orous exponent of civil rights, !
better housing, and the homely
virtues of the hearth and the
American Way of Life.
Typical of his views are those
on achieving racial harmony,
“Understanding begins when men !
respect each other’s hopes and j
aspirations. While I was in the |
Legislature I learned most people
really want to understand. I also !
learned that Negroes weren’t the
only ones who had problems. I
never, until then, for example,
realized that the Irish were sever
ly discriminated against at one
time. I felt a kinship with other '
groups I didn’t have before. It
made it easier to make friends j
and work toward common ends.
I would like to be the bridge :
over which my people can cross
to otain tne same opportunities
that have come to me.”
Ice and snow are fun for young
sters-but the Omaha Safety |
Council says they are deadly for
oldsters... .especially on walks and
steps. Do your family and friends
a favor-clear the slippery walks
of ice and snow... nearly 12,000
persons die each year from falls.
Don’t be the down-fall of any
one-be careful.
Some drivers feel they’re lucky
if tljey speed and don’t see a cop... j
or aren’t seen by one. But to
Omaha Safety Council, luck doesn’t
have nearly as much to do with i
safety as good commonsense does..
and strict attention to traffic laws |
and rules Use your head.. .to J
dive with, not to break the wind
shield. You’ll live longer.
So many people fall down stairs
each year in Omaha_and the i
Omaha Safety Council says this is
because too many of us think
walking downstairs is just like
walking on level ground. But it’s
not so. Your muscles must be pre
pared for changing levels.. .with
more weight on one foot while the
other is reaching for the next step.
In attention seems to be the chief
cause of falls on stairways.
watch your step.. .and be safe.

Valentine Sweethearts Are
fReally Bread Turned Into Cake *
V^ALENTINE S DAY is a red-letter day on any calendar, and
Valentine’s Day in Leap Year is an even brighter date. And
whether your young folk are kindergartners or bobby soxers
they II be sure to love a party around February 14.
wnatever the age or your guests,
remember that two things go tar
to make their party a success —
plenty to do and plenty to eat. The
little people will be happy with piles
of coloring books and cutouts —
paper dolls or wild and wooly west
ern characters — alternating with
games that let them jump about,
like London Bridge or Puss in a
Corner. A skating party for the
older children, ice or roller skating,
would give them happiness.
For both ages refreshments might
be the same — assorted sand
, wiches, milk shakes, cookies or
cake, and ice cream. There’s a lus
cious chocolate syrup made with
sweetened condensed milk that is
wonderful for the milk shakes,
smooth, rich and easily mixed. And
instead of real cake, try Magic Val
entine Cookies, hearts of bread
dipped in sweetened condensed
milk, then in coconut, and browned
lightly in the oven,

Cranberry Mincemeat Tarts
Are Washington’s Birthday Treats
THE cook house of Mount Vernon must once have been the scene
of great preparation of mincemeat, with chopping of beef and
suet, peeling and dicing of apples, slicing and shredding and
mincing of dried fruits, and a final savory simmering in a big pot
over an open nre.
If you want to celebrate Washing
ton’s Birthday with a delicious
treat, whether as dessert for the
family or refreshments for a crowd
of hungry teen-age guests, fill tart
shells with the modern version of
this old favorite. One 9-ounce pack
age of condensed mincemeat, which
can be made ready-to-use in two or
three minutes, or a 28-ounce jar of
ready - to - nse mincemeat, provides
filling for six to ten tarts according
| to size. Hatchets cut of pastry and
a garnish of cherries turn the tarts
Into real Washington’s Birthday
I specials.
Cranberry Mincemeat Tarts <
1 9-ounce condensed package
