A column argues that women should depend on each other for companionship and social activity rather than rely on male escorts. It quashes the notion that Adamless gatherings harm charm, noting few bars allow women without escorts and theaters remain a rare public space for solo female enjoyment.
Mrs Leabella Greenway King, longtime Democratic affiliate and former Arizona congresswoman, was re elected national chairwoman of the American Women's Voluntary Services. Known as a busy, influential public servant, she previously married into the Greenway family and later to O King. Her ties with the Roosevelts span decades, and she has been active in social legislation and veterans affairs.
A collage of dated social etiquette queries. It covers sending thanks to a hostess after visiting a strange city, accepting gifts from a suitor in the months of courtship, and how to word a response note for a formal invitation. The text reflects early 20th century social norms and typographic idiosyncrasies.
A reader notes varied hair issues from baby curls to oily or dry scalps, offering grooming routines, shampooing frequency, brushing, and setting tips. The piece covers long hairstyles, curling, lacquered updos, and the role of oils, powders, and protective makeup in maintaining a polished look. It also touches on depilation options and the use of permanents and electrolysis as methods for facial hair removal, with caution on cost and safety.
A nostalgic recipe and menu feature detailing chilled melon serving tips and cantaloupe dressings. It blends melon selection guidance from the USDA with a week of daily menus, breakfast and dinner ideas, and dessert suggestions centered on cantaloupe and fresh fruit.
A colorful print description cites a red and white outfit with pleated details. Hollywood notes feature Bette Davis in a white evening gown on a movie set, being interviewed by Orry Kelly and signing autographs for two soldiers. Lupino adds a bright accessory, while a later item teases a recipe for a forthcoming column.
Fashion notes reflect wartime rationing and service shifts as men enter the armed forces. Summer styles favor tan and blue cottons, monk’s cloth looks, and denim influences. Straw hats waver with scarce straps, while fabric shifts toward cotton rayon and plastics.
A discussion on moral standards in parenting. It argues for a single home standard, showing how parental conduct shapes a child's ethics more than religious instruction. It notes daily life tests, honesty, and the need for parents to model the behaviors they preach. It warns two way standards teach insincerity.
Readers urged to support military welfare as health training and morale rise in camps. Dr Fosdick notes 1917 contrasts with present camps, highlighting better layouts, facilities, and entertainment to keep soldiers fit and content amid war effort.
