PAGE SIX En ' J i- EE .-- Well, here I om in New York City. . . . Along with crowds ond crowds of other people. . . . And I've seen so much ond done so much in the lost couple of days that I don't know where to begin! GuvutX FIRST I simply must tell about my visit to the Hel ena Rubinstein Salon on Fifth Avenue. ... A com bination of restfulness and efficiency that is an education to learn about. A telephone call was await ing me when I arrived in New York. . . . Because Vance Vau pel, manager of Currin's, had acted on my plea to see the Ru binstein Salon here, and had written to ask permission for me to go through the place. Amy Blalsdell, who is public ity director of the Salon and of Helena Rubinstein, Inc. called me twice, in fact, before we got together. . . . And then she trotted along while a lovely-looking gal called Mrs. Schil ; ler showed and explained everything on the different floors. (Later Miss Blalsdell told me the gal really is the Baroness Schiller, and is in charge of the Salon during the absence of Madame Rubinstein in South America and her niece. Mala Rubinstein, in Mexico.) First Floor The lobby entrance to the Sa lon is much like any modern beauty shop,' only somewhat larger. . . . But when you get to the waiting room beyond you begin to realize that this is no usual place. The waiting room Is circular. ... In the center is a round "banquette," ... A circular seat of padded blue satin. . . . The rest of the furniture is in blue or white satin. Big mirrors reflect beautiful gold-and-crystal candelabra. . . . And the room is quiet, restful and just about sound proof, even though the noise of Fifth Avenue outside is tremendous. Off to one side is a small room where there is a polaroid machine to diagnose skin, and on the other side a reception' ist's office. Second Floor An elevator man called Leon takes you upstairs to the floor where the Five Day Wonder Course is given. . . . And there, for only $15, you can go to school for two hours a day (there are morning, afternoon and evening classes) for five days, to learn skin care and make-up for yourself, posture, exercises, hair styling, voice correction, fashion lines, diet, and a score of other things. . All of which you are supposed to continue doing at home to make yourself over Into a more attractive person. There's a voice machine, Which you talk into, and a rec ord plays your voice back. . . , Another polaroid machine for skin diagnosis. ... A doctor's examining room. ... A Little Theatre which is used also as a gymnasium, where lectures are given to gals from high school age on up. . . . And dressing rooms and showers. Third and Fourth Floors These contain the offices and we skipped them. ... I had al ready been on the Fourth Floor to meet Miss Blaisdell. . . . And anyway, Mrs. Schiller said "They are seemeelarr to anny ah-ther offeeces." - Fifth Floor This is where the actual treatments for the face and body are given. . . . Feet, too. One room interested me tre mendously. . , . And Miss Blais dell said she had been to just about all the salons and was sure there is no other room like it. It is the Suntan Room. . . . Where you He on a bed of sand which is heated by infra-red rays, while ultra-violet rays are reflected up to a , spun-aluminum ceiling and then back in directly on your body . . . All very healthful, especially when you also have a massage dur ing the treatment. Another room on the same floor is a kind of bathroom. . . . With a huge gorgeous tub where you lie in Rubinstein's Pasteurized Milk Bath and get invigorated while your skin is cleaned out thoroughly. Another room is fitted up to prepare you for a massage. . . . You lie on an electrically heat ed pad and are covered with a hood heated by infra-red rays. ... Your muscles relax and the massage does more goodl There's a smaller gym here, too. . . A lot of Rubinstein's I a IV I 43 1 Mantka SHOPS in NEW YORK famous Lithe-Lines were hang ing there, and Mrs. Schiller said they are the basis of all exercises in the Salon. I haven't room to go into too many details, but I mustn't fail to mention the dressing rooms fitted with day and night lights, so you'll get the right make-up before you leave! Sixth Floor This is the hair department. . . . We accidentally broke in on a distinguished-looking wom an with a hair net covering new pincurls . . . Miss Blais dell told me her name (which I forget) and said she is a photog rapher for Vogue. Anyway, besides getting your hair done, you can get a pedi cure, manicure, scalp treat ments, etc. Roof I think we skipped several floors, but by that time I was trying to absorb so muqh in such a short time that I forgot to ask what was in between. On the roof is one new de partment you'll be Interested in. . . . It's where you can learn how to apply leg make-up and how to take the hair off your legs most efficiently. . . . It's new this year. I was interested in the lunch time class. . . . Business girls can take the leg instruction and eat a box lunch furnished by the Salon during their lunch hour. In another room In this pent house, Mrs. Schiller teaches in dividual make-up so you can learn what's best for yourself and keep up the food work at home. - The Whole Building I was on five different floors of the Rubinstein Salon and was impressed by three things. . . . The efficient set-up and the restful decorative scheme, with just enough beautiful paintings and statues. . . . And the fact that Thelma Davis at Currin's For Drugs in Klamath Falls knows a tremendous amount about skin analysis and treat ment! CjancelcMti IN Chicago we dashed through Marshall Fields so fast that my foot almost gave out . . . The one I broke last March, vou know... But I simply had to see this huge department store from top clear down to subway walk. But during my rush through the china department I stopped short at the sight of a display of Franciscan china. ... It was very importantly set out, all by itself. . . . Seven patterns. . . . All of them lovely. This is the new china that Garcelon's carries, you know. Since I've been in New York, I have had time to go to only one department store, and that was Bloomlngdale's. . . . Most of them are closed on Satur days, so I couldn't shop that day. At Bloomlngdale's a very nice salesgirl showed me all that was left in the store of Francis can china. ... A tea set in the Gold Band pattern. . . . She said that there was such a rush on Franciscan china late this Spring that the store was vir tually sold out. . . . "And ship ments are so slow from the west, you know," she moaned. . . . The same old story! Stadia 0 Beauty THE popular hair-do on the Atlantic coast is an up-do. . . . And it's just about ne cessary, because of the neat. . . . Aimougn u would look just as nice any where. Fern Short at the Studio of Beauty told me to bring her back some ideas, so I'm going to tell her about this one. i . . There's a way of fixing several combs on the back of your head that will keep short hairs up. . . . And really looks slick. I tried In Washington, D. C, to buy somo of these combs but the heat wave there had sent so many gals to the up-do that every store I went to was out of them in the color I wanted. So I'm going to try to get l". ' "v. i some in New York. GPL DESHAZER IDENTIFIED E MOUNT LAKI Mrs. J. O. Griffith of the Mt.

Corporal A. F. (Floyd) Washburn describes Aus tralia. Parts of the letter follow: "I have come to the conclu sion that at least Australia is personification of individualism and I came back just a little fas cinated. After leaving the thickly popu lated sections, you're in a land so quiet and peaceful a person just can't keep his mind on the war at all. Deep-green grass everywhere. Eucalyptus trees, gum, and an occasional grove of palms, and of course many others whose names I wouldn't know. Of course there are cattle sta tions (ranches), farms and or chards here and there but mostly cattle as far as I could see.

Well, the engineer would always mow uie whistle and Dresentlv hern (heir rami with whine like an Alra Cobra. They woum drop whatever they were doing or whoever they had in their clutches and fly merrily away to watch the train come in. or perhaps It was our fresh Yank blood. They were as happy as bird dogs.

Now I have a guilty conscience that was a dirty trick. Australian Bunvan Birds I taw a hundred va rieties of the Kookaburra or laughing jackass sounds like someone told a good Joke among a bunch of imbeciles. Some times they get so hysterical that theV dive intn th ffrnnnri onH break their necks, so they tell me. Sounds like an Australian version of a Paul Bunyan story. At any rate they are mostly beak ana seem to be all sizes and colors.

There is ono more thing hav ing come from an old southern family, sun, 1 had heard but never experienced tho thrill of chewing sugar cane. I felt as though I d missed one of life greatest pleasures. If you could imagine peeling a bamboo pole, chewing some rod fir bark, with a most delightful sweet taste like nothing you ever tasted I think that would be it. I chewed at least six cords and now I can pass it on to my great grand children it's wonderful. I've rattled on and on and haven't said a thing, I don't feel this way often, excuse please I'll write the usual stuff next time.
