FIRST PRIZE

A YOUNG BRIDE'S ADVICEI IT seems funny to say, but it helped to save my home. As a sixteen - year -old bride, housework seemed to me a drudgery. After making a grand mess out of trying to make a happy home, I was about to call it quits. We bought a radio, and now my work is fun, for I do it to music between taking down recipes, menus, and household hints that cut my work in half. All these, including interior decorating and style hints, make it all interesting now. -Mrs. Coldwell Daniel, New Orleans, La.

should never have told Jack she would marry him. Down in her heart, she knew she was being foolish and wrong. But she thought that time would be on her side. She thought that the days would pass, and the image of Rene would drift farther and farther back in her memory, until it was only a pin- point of pain, instead of this all- enveloping agony. Other women had fallen in love with men who didn't love them-who married someone else -and those other women had still managed to go on living. Why shouldn't she? But somehow, the minister's words, "Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband, to live together after God's ordinance in the holy state of matrimony ?" and all the rest of it-somehow, even as she repeated them after him, they sent a chill down her body, as if she were hearing not words, but the sound of a steel door closing . . . There was no honeymoon. Jack was terribly busy at the office, and couldn't get away just then, and she had said she'd rather not wait -knowing miserably, as she watched his face light up, that he completely misinterpreted her words. The truth was, she didn't dare to wait. She needed something now, right away, to help her forget Rene. After the ceremony, after all the chatter and laughter, they ran to his par, and he drove up Mar- ket Street, clear up to where it curves around Twin Peaks and beyond, into a part of San Francisco where the houses sit perched on the sides of steep hills. Eucalyptus trees tower whispering over these houses, with wisps of fog caught all day in their trailing branches. Jack twisted and turned the car on the winding streets, and finally stopped it before a house like a white, shining box, all square angles and stucco, with a huge window overlooking the valley that spread between there and the sea. "Here it is," he said shyly. "Our house. Like it ?" "It's beautiful!" she said. "Up here on top of-of everything -" They were laughing The sun was shining, yet here on the western when he carried her slopes the fog swirled about the houses, and the com- through the doorway. bination of sunlight and mist gave them all a bright, unearthly beauty. She jumped out of the car, and because she felt self- conscious in her white satin gown and veil, started up the walk to the door. "Wait!" Jack called. "Don't go in yet, Connie." "Why not ?" she asked in surprise, and a look,

sheepish yet pleased, appeared on his square, tanned face, so that he looked like a freshly scrubbed small boy on his way to a party. "Well -you know, the groom is supposed to carry the bride across the threshold -" "Jack! The neighbors! Oh-well -all right." They were laughing when he swept her lightly up into his arms and carried her through the arched doorway, straight into a pine -panelled room where comfortable chairs and graceful tables dug their feet into a deep -piled rose carpet. "And you bought all this furniture yourself ?" she marveled. "Jack, how did you do it ?" "Just asked myself what I'd want if I were a beautiful little wife -and right away I knew exactly what to buy." He put her down, and she walked around the room, touching, exclaiming. It was perfect. Too perfect. It was the home she had dreamed of sharing with Rene. But Rene was far away, and it was Jack who led her through the kitchen, displaying its treasures of spotless refrigerator and streamlined sink; into the bedroom with its slipper chair and dressing table on one side, its masculine chest of drawers on the other, and between them, side by side, its twin beds. "You like it, don't you ?" Jack asked anxiously, and she forced herself to laugh and say: "Of course. I love it. It's just that you did all this by yourself, as a surprise, that -that rather bowls me over." He stopped walking around the room and came over to where she stood, taking both her hands in his. "I want you to be happy, Connie," he said in a voice The sad end of the that trembled a little. "I -well, I don't suppose I'll road they'd started ever get over the wonder of the moment when you on six months ago. said you'd marry me. I thought all the time that you were in love with Rene, and-" Her hands, imprisoned in his, contracted sharply, and a vise around her heart forced from her an in- voluntary gasp. He heard her, and he nodded. "Yes. That's what I meant. But don't be unhappy about it, Connie. I know that right now you don't love me as much as -as much as you loved him." It was hard for him to say this. He swallowed, and began again. "I just want you to know that no matter how you feel about me now, you've made me hap- pier than I ever expected to be -just by marrying me. And maybe, after a while -" Without warning, she (Continued on page 62)

MARCH, 1940 By radio's fascinating new heroine, Hilda Hope, woman doctor, the story of an operation she could not perform -but must, for the man she loved

ALONG time ago a wise man said that women belong in the healing arts, that their wis- dom and tenderness have fitted them for the task of helping those in pain. Perhaps that is why I became a woman doctor when I could have had love -Bob's love, and been a gloriously happy woman. Instead, I chose a career few women ever enter. It hasn't been easy. You have to be so cold and impersonal if you are to be a good doctor. And I am a good doctor. Usually I don't think about how an operation is going to turn out. I don't dare to. The responsibility is too great to face. I know, of course, that a human life depends on the skill of my hands. I know it, but I've learned not to let myself think about it. If I sound heartless, remember that emotion makes one's hands tremble and grow unsure; it clouds one's mind and changes skill into fumbling uncertainty. That is why doctors don't operate on members of their own families. It is why I should never have operated on Beatrice Warner. Yet-I was forced into it. If I had not consented to operate, she would have died. I should have been as surely her murderess as if I had plunged a dagger into her heart. "I've never stopped loving Even today, when it is all over you," he said. "Hilda, we and finished, terror strikes me when were meant for each other, we I remember Beatrice's whispered should have married long ago." words in that darkened hospital room.

I broke our engagement. Oh, we were in love, but we were also very young and very intense. We took ourselves and our futures more seriously, I guess, than we should have. Bob wanted me to give up my medical studies when I married him. "I want a real wife," he begged, "not a career woman. I want to be the most important thing in your life. Maybe it's old - fashioned of me -but, Hilda, I know we could never be happy together if you had to divide yourself between me and a job. I'm sorry - but that's the way I feel." It was an ultimatum, and I accepted it as such. I made my choice. Ever since I was a little girl, I had wanted to be a doctor. Medicine and surgery were the breath of life to me, and I knew that love couldn't take their place entirely. Some people, and I am one of them, are made like that. I let Bob go, and a year later I heard that he was married to someone else. I wrote him, wishing him all the happiness in the world, and I meant it.

MARCH, 1940 17' Nothing can stop Mary Martin now -but first the year's most exciting new star had to learn a bitter lesson in love from her weekend marriage

S far back as she can remember, Mary Martin it for gospel fact: Mary Martin was headed for some wanted to sing. fancy singing career. She was born in Weatherford, a quiet, friendly, Only Billie, her mammoth nurse, knew what else human little town in Texas, where the sky has a dusty lay in store.

There were him Mistuh Judge. those ungallant classmates who muttered, "Drat that Long before she was a gangling member of the Martin girl. She's in practically everything. And Weatherford ward school, people around town took the best parts, too!" Sundays she'd sing in the choir, this budding diva. And loved it. She used to imagine she was singing in a grand cathedral. Mary's mother came all the way from Texas And in summer there were picnics and open -air to okay her daughter's ,famous strip tease dancing-and Ben. Ben Hagman was a tallish lad act in the Broadway show, "Leave It To Me." with a cheerful sort of way about him. He and Mary -well, they "went" together. They couldn't foresee where those bright summer days and long, dusky Texas evenings would lead them, into what happiness and what sorrow. When Mary graduated from Weatherford High School Judge Martin and Mrs. Martin put their heads together. All good Southern girls go off to finishing school, when their Pas can afford it. From this con- ference came the decision to ship Mary to ritzy Ward - Belmont, smack -dab in Tennessee, as they say in Texas. Well, sir, to Ward -Belmont she went. There were tears in the Martin household. Even the stoical Judge fussed with his handkerchief when the train pulled out. Ben was there on the platform too, grinning and saying for a farewell, "Be good, honey. Be good." Mary took to Ward -Belmont right away, and Ward - Belmont took to Mary. The Penta Tau club pledged her -there are no sororities at Ward -Belmont -and never regretted it. She made them a box -office smash at the Sunday open houses, by singing so memorably that the rush captains of the rival lodges kicked themselves for not snagging her first. Thanksgiving holidays rolled around, and there was a general exodus of the girls. They were all going home -most of them, at any rate. But not Mary. She lived too far away. Two days would be consumed merely in travel. Besides, she was lagging in her studies. There was a term paper to get up. She was sitting at her desk, wrestling grimly with her chore, when the telephone rang.

She answered it, a trifle out of sorts. The paper was coming along beautifully, and she didn't much want to be interrupted. But when she heard the pleasant voice on the other end of the wire she let out a yippee. "Ben!" she shrieked. "Where are you? Not in Texas, I hope." "Here in Nashville," she heard over Mr. Bell's re- markable invention. "When can I see you ?" "You can't come too soon."

SHE was standing in front of the dormitory when Ben drove up-and they were zooming down the road at a mad clip before she thought to ask him what on earth had brought him to town, especially with him a law student at Texas Christian University down at Fort Worth and needing all the studying he could get. He pulled over to the side of the road to tell her. "Mary, I want you to marry me," he said. "I know you're young -we both are. But we'll make a go of it. We will, Mary." She crowded an eternity into a single minute -and made her decision. (Continued on page 65)

And in a few years it'd be, 'He hit a man once, and the man went out cold.' That'd be all there was to that!" Later that night she went to sleep with her head on his shoulder and his arm about her. But George lay awake, with her sweetness and sleepiness and smallness close to him, all night long. She had mercifully not realized it, but he knew. He knew that it was their last night together. In the morning she was radiant and courageous. It was impossible to despair on such a singing Christ- mas Eve, with a bay ruffled and blue under a light wind and great gal- leons of cloud ballooning their way above the solemn silhouette of Tamalpais. But at breakfast, seated opposite George in the sunshine -flooded breakfast room, the brightness suddenly went out of her face. Her glance had chanced to fall upon the morning paper, folded and thrown carelessly upon a chair, and she had seen the headlines: "Davis to be Sentenced Today." She made herself face him, she made herself be calm, but her soul was sick within her. "Tam, do you want to do me a real Christmas favor ?" George asked. Instead of answering, she burst out, "It's too horrible to be true! If I -if I went to the governor -" "That's just what I want to talk to you about, dear," George said in a businesslike tone. "The governor couldn't do anything with a pardon now because it would stir up too much mud.

Use LISTERINE Morning and Night for Halitosis (Bad Breath) haired, dark -eyed, curved in the right places, poised and vivacious, she has many of the qualifications which should make her a successful wife of a successful orchestra leader. She is friendly and witty. She is intelligent and tactful. Incidentally, she is non- professional, which Horace said suits him exactly. "One career in the family is enough," he remarked. The new Mrs. Heidt was formerly married to a New York business man, and has two children. The couple were divorced in Reno last June. No, they weren't engaged very long, Horace said, but when, a few months ago he made arrangements to tour the country with his band, playing a series of theater engagements, they decided that around Christmas time, they would meet somewhere and be married. Not a soul knew it, not even Horace's manager nor members of his band. En route to Hollywood, Horace simply stopped off in Nevada, osten- sibly on business. Mrs. Slaughter met him there, and they did the trick. AND right here is where the mys- } tery came in.

So hoping, still. to pare the news down to a minimum of publicity, Horace admitted the marriage but said it happened in Horace Heidt's Secret Marriage Reno when, actually, it happened in Carson City!

Janet gets scared, though. It's the reason she doesn't appear oftener. She made an outstanding hit in the Lux version of "A Star Is Born" and

Look for more "homey" programs -family type shows, to flood the airlanes. Watch for "expensive" ($30,000 and $40,000 talent shows) to go out the window -to be replaced by $3,000.00 and $4,000.00 talent cost programs. * * * This year, more than anytime in the past, I believe you'll hear more "spot" programs ... shows five minutes in length as compared to the standard and so widely accepted "quarter hour" show. Watch for "crooning" to come back to popularity ... singers like Crosby; stylists like Morton Downey. Watch for Bob Hope to take the SQy -t= top comedy spot on the air.

A few questions, a moment of silence while BY LOUIS BROMFIELD the judge looked over some papers - and it was over. She was no longer Mrs. Jack Sheldon. She was glad of one thing. There'd been no talk of alimony. She had a little money of her own, left to her by her mother, and as soon as she got settled in San Francisco again, of course she would find a job. Perhaps George Staley would help her... .

SAN FRANCISCO had never seemed so beautiful. She found an apartment, high up on Washington Street; she called up people to tell them she was back in town. "Connie!" the women said. "Dar- ling! Back so soon? . Really? I can't believe it's six whole weeks . . . Oh, he's fine . And how does it seem to be back in circulation again ?" And when she'd answered that question, there would be a pause, until she herself said brightly, "Well, darling, I just called to say hello. We must see each other soon." "Oh, yes. I'll call you, Connie, shall I ?" But they didn't call. She had lunch with George Staley. She'd thought, naturally, that he would take her to the popular Mark Hopkins, but instead he suggested a little cafe on Geary Street. "It's quiet there," he said. "We can talk."

That statement is probably a surprise to most of you who have seen the incredibly youthful Mary Martin in Paramount's "The Great Victor for the Herbert." As a matter of fact, all through the years of struggle and success that followed, Mary kept the story of that marriage a secret from all the world except the folks back home in Weatherford. Only recently BATH did news of it leak out, and only here has the full story been told: honeymoon was Utopia on lately? THEwheels.

All that morning, through her French class, her English class, her mathematics and her history, she heard pounding in her ears: "I'm Mrs. Ben Hagman, Mrs. Ben J. Hagman." For a month she lingered, like a girl lost in herself. The crowd at Penta Tau wondered what on earth had happened to their star attraction. None guessed the secret. At Christmas she returned home, never to go back to school. She was tired of being a secret bride. She made a clean breast of it as soon as she had kissed her family. She told the Judge all about it first. He took it philosophically. Mrs. Martin wept a little, as mothers will. Then it occurred to all concerned that what mattered were the days to come. The marriage received twin bless- ings from both parents. Ben was summoned to Weatherford for the holidays and it seemed as though the gods were smiling. It was wonderful to be back home, Mrs. Ben Hagman concluded. Weath- erford had never looked more alive, more friendly. June came and so did a parchment for Ben. Then the decision was made. Ben would take a job doing legal work for an insurance company in Fort Worth, and there the couple would set up house -keeping. Which is exactly what happened. She wept at leaving Weatherford.

RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR It was late August when she left Hollywood and headed east for her conquest of Broadway. She stopped off at Weatherford long enough to get a good hug of Larry. The night she arrived in New York was a heart- breaker. No one met her at the station. Rain poured down from an angry sky. And later at the hotel, came the final bitter pill. The musical comedy in which she was to appear had been postponed for another year. Heartbroken, she hung around town, too numb to go away. On the fifth day a ray of hope appeared. "Look," exclaimed the producer who had brought her to New York in the first place, "I don't want to get your hopes aroused. You know how it is in show business. Still, if you're interested, there's an opening in a new show called 'Leave It to Me.' Seems that a lady named June Knight has kissed the part good -bye.

69 MARCH, 1940 By DR. GRACE GREGORY THE old saying was, "Beauty is only skin deep." That is a great deal deeper than you might think. To maintain a beautiful skin we must observe all the laws of general good health and also the special laws of skin care. Moreover, we have to consider the dermis, or true skin, as well as the epidermis or outer layer. Beauty cannot be put on with makeup alone. We have to begin with proper cleansing and with the preparation for make -up -that is, the right soap and the right powder base. Pretty seventeen -year -old Mary Small has an understanding of these fundamentals that would do credit to an experienced cosmetician. Come to think of it, she is experienced -she has been singing in public since she was five. She has had theatrical experience as well as radio. All those years of the varied make -ups for public work, and she still has a skin as clear and fresh as a child's. In private life she uses the minimum of cosmetics, believing that the younger you are the less you need them. But she is very, very choosey about her soap and what little powder base she Seventeen -year -old Mary Small gives some grown -up advice - does use. use plenty of good soap and water before putting on make -up.
