The women of the country are taking th eir places more and more in our great pro-
gram of National Defense. Victory for the U. S. A. is the watchword of both young and
old. Many women are asking themselves, “How can a wife and mother help?” There
are many ways in which the woman on the h ome front can aid in bringing victory.
She may not be able to work in a defense industry but she can see that her family re-
ceives the proper amount of vitamins each day; she may not be able to fly a plane, but she
can furnish materials for bombers by refusing to horde, by saving and economy; and
most important, she can keep the morale of the country at its highest, if she will smile,
smile, smile! Keep on smiling means Victor y for the U. S. A.

Money Making Idea For Church or School Club
A PALM BEACH CARNIVAL
(Setting)
Arange over a lawn tubs in which are planted palms. If
real palms cannot be secured, make artificial ones. Arrange
several booths about the lawn. The front can have trellis.
Other designs for the booths could be worked out.
Advertisements Over Booths
The signs over the booths may be lettered attractively
with sketches such as crowded beach scenes, Spanish Pirates
shaking gold out of chests, and so forth. The main entrance
might read:
“Cross the Palm to See the Beach”
In the center of lawn may be a fishing booth with the
sign over it:
“There are plenty of fish to be caught in the sea,
What can you do with chances three?”
In several tubs surrounded with sand, place in water
celluloid fish, turtles, frogs, sailboats, and so on. These will
float. The articles may be caught with a fishing line and
hook. There should be a charge for each catch.
There might be a toilet articles booth.
The sign above it might read: “Fountain of Youth and
Beauty.” All kinds of toilet articles could be sold here. For
example: Powder, rouge, tooth paste, hair brushes, vanish-
ing cream, etc. There could be other booths.

Your Dreams of Beauty Care Come True
Women everywhere talk
about this dream-cream
HERE is a beauty cream worthy
I of perfect loveliness itself—
the loveliness that amazes men and
holds their admiration—the loveli-
ness that every woman wants for
her very own. Here truly, is the
“cream of your dreams"—the
cream that is making dreams of
beauty care come true.
A fragrant base for powder and
make-up, Black and White Van-
ishing Cream is something more,
too. It enhances the smooth-clinging,
long-lasting loveliness of your face
powder. And together with Black
and White face powder it form*
a dependable ‘‘complexion-
protection” against the ravages of
the year's skin-rougheningweather.

cleanse your face with Slack and
White Cleansing Cream. Then apply
Black and White Cold Cream and
leave it on all night. Black and
White Beauty Creams are told in
