Thursday, Augusr 21, 1941 Pour The CaDifal Journal, Salem, Oregon Hollywood. Have you ever won dered how the glamour mamas of Hollywood keep their figures? They have to do It, because any who sacrifice figures to motherhood sac rifice their screen careers at the same time but this is not a story of sacrifice. Some Marlene Dietrich, for ex amplehave no secrets for post maternity figure upkeep. Dietrich, 3B, and the mother of a 16-year-old daughter, has a figure best describ ed by an ecstatic studio designer who said, 'She's the only star I know who never wears a girdle and doesn't have to." Exercises bore Dietrich. And diet? "I don't, unless you count my skipping lunch," she says. Of those actress-mothers who have figure problems and solutions most are quite willing to pass along their "secrets." There's Joan Blondell (Mrs. Dick Powell) who's the mother of two. Joan's a non-dieter but she goes for exercise. "I eat food combinations which dietians consider both easy and natural for the system to han' die, and good food," she says. For Joan, there are no large quantities of proteins and carbo. hydrates at the same meal. Meat or potatoes with vegetables, but never meat and potatoes (or bread) with vegetables. She cats as much as she wants. A Game with Cards Mary Martin, expecting her sec ond child, makes no claims to ath letic prowess but enjoys dancing and swimming. Her favorite waist. line-trimmer: "Sprinkle a deck of cards on the floor, then pick them up one at a time without bending your knees." ' Jane Wyman (Mrs. Ronald Rea gan) went swimming six weeks af ter Maureen Elizabeth Reagan was born. Played golf, too. Her doctor ordered exercises: (1) Begin each day with a walk before breakfast, swinging legs and arms and breath ing deeply. (2) In late afternoon, before a beauty nap, lie flat on back, feet close together, and pull up slowly without bending the knees. Touch toes, return slowly to count of ten. (3) Lie on back with knees drawn slightly up. Pull body up, allowing head to fall back easily, Keep arms straight in front, return slowly to position. (4) Stand straight with feet apart, hands on hips, and bend back slowly as far as possible stretching stomach muscles. In standing position drop slowly to squatting position and arise to count of ten. Geraldlne Fitzgerald, mother of Michael Edward Lindsay-Hogg, re commends deep breathing for 15 minutes, morning, noon and night, before an open window. Miss Fitzgerald is a stretching enthusiast. The Fitzgerald post-maternity diet was similar to Jane Wyman's ex cept that Oeraldlne's included one day on milk and orange Juice, rath er than salads. Ellen Drew took a few tips from Jim Davies, the studio athletic instructor and expert masseur, who has to keep watch on all contract "figures," maternal and otherwise. "Never put shoes on the easiest way," says Ellen. "Sit erect on chair and, pulling the leg close to the body, slip the shoe on. It's a definite walst-slimmcr. And when applying makeup, try not to slouch over the dressing table. Instead, sit erect and stretch legs well for ward. Apply powder, turn the body to the left and right, holding the hand mirror far away. May not sound like exercise, but It is and a game of badminton helps, too." Joan Bennett, mother of Diana and Mcllnda Markey, doesn't diet any more, and her exercise has been limited to mild forms because of an old injury during a movie she fell off a horse. She gardens, however, swims and plays golf. "I was 'way off form after the children were born," she says, "and had to diet rigorously to get back in shape." Bowling Gets Credit Bronda Marshall (mother of i-year-old Virginia Gaines) credits her return to normal figure mainly to an enthusiasm for bowling. Diet: lean meals, vegetables (Including a head of lettuce dally), water, a pint of milk dally, no desserts except fresh or stewed fruit, one baked potato a week, melba toast, a dally cock tail of orange Juice, beaten raw egg with a spoonful of wheat germ oil. She stayed on this nourishing, strengthening, but streamlining diet for a month after the baby was born. Anne Shirley, mother of Julie Anne Payne, aged 11 months, says swimming brought her flguro back to before-baby measurements more quickly than any other exercise she rook. "But It's Important," she em phasizes, "that all such exercises bo taken only If your doctor approves." Dorothy Comingore, only recently a mother, recommends "a snug gir dle" as well as doctor-recommended exercises. And she sums up the opinions of most of Hollywood's glamour mo thers when she says: "Motherhood Isn't as likely to ruin a woman's figure as Is laziness and too much IOOOI" Do not thaw out frozen food until It Is to be used. Once thawed, the 1000 anouid an be used. IB ovie -Jlamour 1 1 lolherA WnM tk j Joim Bennett find daughters. She dieted rigor- ' on sly to brln? htr weight buck to normal. Now she weighs 111 pounds.

Up from Florida limes are flowing ready to league up with housewives coping with lan guishing summer-time appetites. Al ways a chef's "item" today the lime is the housewife's hand-maiden. Out of the hot-house class at last, the lime is now as much at home In the cash-and-carry fruit stands as in the cotton-batting splendor of the stores where It has been for years the green emerald of the fruit trade. For the gem of citrus fruits, rich with Vitamins A and C and sealing precious stores of calcium, phosphorus and copper, can oe oag ged for pennies now. Smallest of Florida's citrus fruits, the lime is packed with Juice with flavor with a capacity for combin ing in countless ways with other 11 cmid or sooon-UD foods. Limes make long drinks lovely- short drinks longer. And in every drink or dish where lemon Juice is called for, lime Juice will play that part particularly well. There's no limit to lime uses so don't limit yourself to lime drinks but share today's limelight with limes by cook ing up such brand new llme-y dishes as: Lime-Lamb Casserole 2 pounds neck of lamb, cut in cubes 2 tablespoons fat 4 cups boiling water cup lime Juice 1 bunch carrota, sliced 1 on ton, sliced 4 medium-sized potatoes teaspoon kitchen bouquet Vi teaspoon salt y4 teaspoon pepper 1 teaspoon butter Wipe lamb.

These thoughts, translated into specific things, explain our love for colonial maple furniture, for hooked and braided rugs, for quilts and old lamps, for pressed glass and blue and white china, for pewter and checked damask. They explain why we like casual effects and pleasant country airs. Many town folks carry their In terest In rural affairs still further. They collect color prints of fine livestock to frame and hang in groups on the wall. They search for botany prints of crop plants, and they make lamp bases or lighting fixtures out of old farm tools.

I'd like to write In capital letters, Few Invitations and Fewer An nouncements Call For Presents, Every day, almost, those whose purses are slim, worry themselves Into a state of nerves because someone they like, and want to stay liked by, Is going to be married, or has an anni versary, or a birthday, or a baby, and they think they have to give a present that will cost more than they can afford. There are a few occasions when this Is true such as a wedding In one's own family, or In that of a really intimate friend. But this ob ligation is one of relationship or friendship it has little to do with an Invitation. There are many oc casions when we want to give a present, but there are almost none that we are obliged to give because of an Invitation. The only such In vitation I can think of is worded, "Will you come to a shower for Mary?" This literally means, "Will you bring Mary a present?" Otherwise, send a present If you can and want to, but don't worry when you can't.

We have received such an announce ment from people we know slightly At first I felt quite, honored that they would think about us but after a while I wondered if it meant buy ing a gift! Answer: No, it does not mean buying a gift. Since it is not general American custom to insert birth announcements In the papers, the friends of the young parents have no way of knowing that the baby has. arrived. Those who are Interested, and who go to see the mother and the baby within the first few weeks, usually do take gift. But there is no obligation to go to see one who is not an In timate friend, and none, whatever, to send a gift. Pre-Invitation to a Wedding Dear Mrs. Post: When a brother and sister receive one wedding In vitation, do they repeat the dis courteous error, and return one answer, or does each sign for him self? Answer: Sister answers (without error!). It is true that good taste exacts that a brother and sister be sent separate . Invitations, but the error was one against form, rather than against courtesy. In fact, when an informal invitation is sent to the sister, Inviting both, It Is en tirely .correct for her to answer for both.
