SEPTEMBER, 1942 '7 By DR. GRACE GREGORY

pERFUMES, cologne, and all the lovely toilet fragrances are wonderful morale builders, especially these hot summer days. The great perfume houses realize this, and they are really doing wonders in their efforts to make our favorite fragrances available to us at prices we can afford. True, we may have some difficulty in getting importations when our present stock is gone. But right here at home we have artists in perfume second to none, and this season brings us the usual variety of new odeurs. First, remember it is a good thing to have several fragrances. By all means match those that you are using at the same time -perfume, toilet water, dusting powder, and so on. But it is necessary to change from time to time, or you and your friends will cease to be aware of the fragrance. It is a simple psychological fact that when we become accustomed to any odor, however beautiful, we literally cease to smell it. Remember always that perfumes must be subtle. Most men say they dislike to have a perfume meet them head -on. They feel that it should linger like a lovely memory after you have passed them. Women who select one favorite perfume and stick to it are especially in danger of putting on too much as they become less and less sensitive to that particular fragrance. For day, and for casual occasions, use toilet water and Eau de Cologne. These are the informal fragrances, and are much less expensive than the concentrated perfumes. Study the most effective way of using fragrances. One distinguished perfume authority cites with approval the French rule, "Perfume from the inside out." That is very sound. If the sun slants across your dressing table half the day, that is no place for perfumes. And keep them stop- The discriminating woman uses her pered tight.

THE English class was reading Shakespeare. Edie Gray was reading aloud from "Romeo and Juliet," and the rest of the class was following the text, turning pages in unison, some of them grinning secretly at Edie's fervent rendition. It was some time since Peggy Young had turned a page. Her head was bowed over her book, her soft, blonde hair falling forward a little, masking her face. Her mind was not on Shakespeare. Peggy was thinking of Carter Trent. Since that evening, some months before, when she and a number of other girls had gone to the Army Camp near Elmwood to

a U.S.O. dance and Peggy had met _ Carter, she had thought of little else. She had not known who he was then. She had known only that he was tall and handsome and, somehow, very gentle and pleasant and that it was more fun to be with him than with.any of the other boys she had ever known. At erst, she had thought mostly about the way he looked and the way his voice sounded and how lovely and different it felt, when he touched her hand accidentally, or put his arm around her when they danced. But now there was more to think about. Now she knew she

"Darling- Peggy," he whispered, his lips brushing her ear. "I love you. Will you marry me ?" RADIO'S f

SEPTENIeER, 1942 19 IT WAS a rainy night, and the soldier looked very uncomfortable, walking along the side of the highway with his shoulders hunched up and his hands jammed down into his pockets. I'd have needed a harder heart than I possess to drive past him. Maybe, I reflected, it wasn't very wise for a girl, all alone in an expensive car, to pick up strange hikers. But on the other hand, it was just about the least I could dó for a man whose uniform proved he was ready to give his life for me and millions like me. So I put on the brake as the car came up to him and called: "Want a ride ?" Yes, he wanted a ride. I could hear him running through the rain to the car, and opened the door to let him in. As he slid into the seat beside me and slammed the door, he began to speak. "Thanks, lady, I sure needed this. . . ." Then he turned toward me, and saw my face in the dim light from the instrument -panel. And fell silent, aghast. "Woody!" I whispered. For I had known who it was as soon as I heard his voice, the voice that had haunted my dreams all my life. "Woody!" I said again, on a stronger note. "Woody, darling." I wanted to throw my arms around him, to kiss him. But even in that ecstatic first moment of recognition there was something about him that told me I mustn't. "Lorraine!" he was saying.

Meet radio's famous woman lawyer and all the people who are part of her dramatic story broadcast daily over NBC, sponsored by Post's Bran Flakes

WALTER MANNING (left) is a newspaper man and is in love with Portia. Because he didn't believe Portia returned his love, Walter went to Europe as a foreign corre- spondent. While there, he was shot by the Nazis for anti -Nazi activity in the Balkans. Through a miracle he was not killed. With the help of guerrillas he was able to escape the Nazi firing squad at the last moment. However, he could not let Portia know he was alive because it would have been dangerous to divulge his whereabouts. Joining the band of guerrillas, he's fighting with them against the Nazis. (Played by Myron McCormick) 20th Century-Fox Photo

PORTIA BLAKE (right), attractive and courageous, has always fought for her beliefs. When her husband was accidentally killed several years ago she took over his law practice to support herself and her young son, Richard. It wasn't long before she discovered that all the corruption and misery in her town was traceable to John Parker, and she set out to expose him. In the course of her work she met and feu in love with Walter Manning. She did not confess her love because Walter was still married, although he intended to get a divorce. After Walter's departure for Eu- rope, Portia, unhappy and lonely, met Dr. Stanley Holton and eventually considered marrying him, believing Walter to be dead. She was terribly shocked when Miss Daisy accused Holton of insincerity, and hurried to his rooms to ask him to disprove Miss Daisy's state- ments. She found Holton shot, and was discovered there by Parker, who accused her of the murder. . (Played by Lucille Wall)

RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR SEPTEMBER, 1942 23 KATHY MARSH is Portia's best friend. Though she ap- nears to be a nractical_ calm woman, inwardly Kathy is an unhappy and confused person, her feelings torn between affection and loyalty to Portia and a secret, frus- trated love for Stanley Hol- ton. When she first realized that Holton was trying to get Portia to marry him she went through a deep struggle with her own feelings and finally decided that if Holton wanted Portia, that was right and she must help him find his happiness. Now that Holton is dead and Portia is on trial for his murder and Hol- ton's real character is being brought to light, Kathy is miserable and cannot blame herself enough for having been such a fool. She has sworn never to trust any man. (Played by Marjorie Anderson)

NBC Photos by Ray Lee Jackson

MISS DAISY (right) into whose boarding house Portia and Kathy moved when Portia wanted to live near the slums in order to collect evidence against John Parker, is a lovable, sensible Irish woman, sharply intuitive and extremely outspoken -particularly where Portia's hap-- piness and well -being are concerned. Instinctively, Miss Daisy distrusted Stanley Holton's sincerity toward Portia from the very beginning of their association. She refused to hide her opinions from Portia and Kathy, although she knew Kathy was secretly in love with Holton. And, when she learned that Portia was afraid some scandal would break out concerning her friendship with Holton, Miss Daisy immediately suspected that Holton was working under John Parker's orders in an attempt to discredit the crusading woman lawyer. Miss Daisy faced Holton with her suspicions, but as she talked to him she could not know she was being overheard by Julie Peters, who became so enraged that she eventually murdered Holton. (Played by Henrietta Tedro)

24 JOHN PARKER virtually controls Parkerstown. He is suave when it suits him but unscrupulous and brutally indifferent to humanity. He hates Portia because she has dared to challenge his authority. Ever since Portia began her crusade against the slums which he owns, he has been trying to get rid of her. It was he who forced Stanley Holton to get Portia into a compromising situation. When he found Portia in Ho/ton's rooms right after the murder, John Parker jumped at the chance thus presented to him, offering to keep Portia's presence there from the police if she would agree to drop her charges against him. Of course Portia refused. And now Parker is making every effort to have Portia convicted of murder. (Played by Bill Johnstone)

JULIE PETERS (left) in spite of being a night club singer, is essentially a simple, rather gullible girl. Her air of sophistication and worldly wisdom has been painfully ac- quired; underneath it she is impulsive and highly emotional. It was her very simplicity which led her to fall in love with Dr. Stanley Holton. And, when she overheard Miss Daisy and Holton arguing and realized that Portia planned to marry Holton, Julie lost her head. For the first time, she discovered that Holton did not love her and had never really planned to marry her. Angry, humili- ated, and deeply hurt, she allowed herself to get into a state of emotional confusion which reached its climax when she shot and killed Holton. Now, not understand- ing the complicated situation which existed between Holton, Portia and John Parker, Julie doesn't fully realize the implications of Portia's arrest and trial for murder. All she knows is that she is safe now, and she is trying hard to forget the terrible thing she did. For someone as self -centered as Julie, that will not be difficult. (Played by Nancy Douglass)

25 IKEEP thinking to myself, over and over, that maybe it needn't have happened. I keep thinking maybe if I hadn't had to live with Lee's family, or if Lee hadn't joined the Navy . . .

I'm going to give her a small part." They almost cried, Laurette because she was so upset about Russ not getting the job, Russ because he was so happy for Laurette. The job didn't last long, but it helped them out of a very bad spot. They had got down to their last seventy -five cents! Later, Russ was called in to substitute on the program for the regular announcer. It was the first time they had ever worked together on the air. Russ was so nervous, so anxious that Laurette shouldn't be made nervous, that he blew the commercial higher than a kite. He spelled the name of the product three times, differently each time. To this day, he shudders, thinking of it.

"Is that all you're going to say ?" li "I'm not proposing," Russ grinned. "You only propose when you don't know what the answer is going to be." He kissed her. "You're stuck with me, whether you like it or not." their marriage didn't take BUTplace until two months later. Things began to break so fast for them that Laurette didn't even have time to write home. Russ was called to NBC to audition for the announcer's job on Bachelor's Children. This time, against seventy - five competitors and with Laurette praying for him, he won the job. The success of her husband -to -be gave Laurette new courage. She was bound and determined to do what she could to give them even more money to start their married life together. When she had first come to Chicago, her father had given her a letter to his friend Colonel Knox, who owned station WMAQ. Knox had turned her over to Niles Trammell, head of NBC, who had arranged a general audition for her. Laurette had taken that audition but nothing had come of it.

A year after they were married, Laurette's father and mother got lonesome and paid them a visit. While in Chicago, Laurette's father preached a sermon in a church near his daughter's home.

And faced them without pride. Back of her anxiety about her mother, back of her natural reluctance to leave Steve, there had been another thought -an unworthy shameful thought. She had not wanted to leave Steve alone in a city which contained Agnes Corey. There it was again. In spite of all Steve's assurances, in spite of all her own logic, she was afraid of something that had existed in the past and might still exist in the present. She was passionately glad Steve could not read her thoughts. next afternoon, as their train THEpulled into Axminster, she found herself in a very different, a much more comfortable, mood.

I knew something about nu- trition and textiles, and worked up some ideas of my own to include in the routine stuff. Clyde Martin was a great help. Sometimes he'd wait till my broadcast was over and give me hints about timing and diction. He'd go over my material with me and make suggestions.
