The Week

The House of Windsor gathered Mushy to pay tribute to Queen Mary on her 80th. birthday. an occasion distinguished chiefly for the new emphasis it placed on the unbridgeeble gulf between the Royal Family and the American- hprn Duchess of Windsor. King George and Queen Elizabeth. the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret motoredfro-m Windsor. The Duke Ind Duchess of Gloucester were there. So was the Duchess of Kent and Viscount and Lady Mountbat- ten. Lleut. Philip Mountbatten, of- ten mentioned asthe future hus- band of Princess Hlllbeth, also was present.

e e

All of the Royal Family were‘

invited to the Queen Mother's birthday party except the former Wallis Warfield, of Baltimore. The Duke of Windsor could have at- tended. Biit he did not because the wife for whom he gave up the Throne could no-t be at his side. Instead, he paid an unexpected half-hour visit to his mother Mon- day morning at her town residence. Marlborough House. He came a- lone. a small figure in the back seat of a huge Rolls Royce. .. s s

Somehow the word got around that "Eddie is with his mother“- as it always does when he is in London-and scores were there to cheer him when he left. He tip- ped his bowler hat. but his face was serious. What/ever was in the

Duke's mind when he chose to visit England at the time of his mother's birthday -~ and some

thought he might have hoped for s reconciliation- todays omission of the Duchess from the lunch- eon party emphasized that she never can assume g, place in Brit- lsh society while Queen Mary lives.

This was Whit Monday holiday, and hundreds of persons gather- ed at the gates of Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the gums‘. and arrival of the Royal guesfi. Ezcept for the two-block journey to Buckingham Palace, the Queen Mother was spending her birthday quietly.

Queen Mary. wearing a pale green ensemble with the unvttry- ‘lng toque and sitting upright in her big saloon car, drove through cheering thousands, ivaving to the people. In appearance Queen Mary is essentially royal. She is tall, with snow-ivhite hair which curls naturally. She uses make-up._but. discreetly, and she dislikes all col- oured nail varnish. She is fond of jewelry and wears it magnifi- cently. Her clothes always follow

Mthe-“samesstyle-..Powder“ blue ...i:. her fevourilte colour. Her shoe: are low heeled and rtrapped. Her voice is deep and rather guttural, and her complexion very good. Al- rthoug-h a younger Queen has suc- ceeded her on the throne. the Grand Old Lady perhaps is the most popular Queen Mother in British history. She keep: all thearts, wins more each day.

The Offltill publication of the National Moderation of Business and Professional Women‘: Clubs Incorporated, contains a three plge article on Miss Betty MoOabe who has visited her aunt, Mrs. Chester Mcbure many times. '

Other women written up in this issue are France’: first lady —8u- zarine Bore], the beautiful and bril- liant woman diplomat-France: Belford Wayne of the Denver Post, and Gabriela Mistral. Mexican poetess winner of the Nobel prize.

Ton thousand Americalfsoldierg passed through the Tenth Replace- ment Depot in Litchfield, England, in the winter of i944, "1 auditign. ed them" said Betty McCabe. "I had to selcct five to be attached to our unit as actors, practically taking them off their ships. The rest were on their way to the front lines. It. was a hard decision te make.“

That was only a detail in the expcricncc of Civilian Actress Technician Betty McCal-ie, s pretty girl in her early twenties, who has had a large part in launching a brand new career for the Ameri- can girl.

The job is under Civil Service and c-pportunitics in the field are ope“) to any girl with dramatic lfflinlllf: who can make the grade.

Cornell in 1942. She had majored in the drama and combining brains with beauty and talent, she went about getting theatrical exper- lcncc. She player] summer stock in Glouccstcr. She did radio work iii Boston. Slic played in George Kaufman's "Franklin Strcet" in Washington. Mrs. Franklin Delano Roosevelt whom lVIiss McCabg had shcivii around Cornell University was one evcriizig a mcmbcr of the audiciiic.

Miss M"Ci\i]t‘.‘ liatl charge of the v ciiici-tainnicni for the troops in l icclancl iii 1943. From tlicre shai went in England whcrr- she was ciitru-"ii-rl with the delicate re- sponsibility of auditioning soldiers for a touring company of “Blithe Spirit." Asked if that proved a good rho-ice of play for a soldier midi-once she answered: "Yes. ‘bccausc the play deals with death iii a light spirit and the boys could Jaugli their fears away." She knows the answers.

From Iceland she went to Eur- ope playing in combat zones of

lhc front lines in 1944 and i945. Iii Paris she played in "Junior Miss."

To meet the need for occupation HOOP‘. the Entertainment Branch of Special Service in Paris sp- proached Miss McCabe to act as a War Department Consultant. She in thocse girls from all over the United States. An Army Board of Selection headed by two Army Majors who had formerly been heads of the Drama, Departments of Carnegie Tech and of Yale,‘ toured the country to find one hundred college girls to fill these jobs. Betty McCabc went along as consultantwForA-wo“ou-“t-hreesdays_ in each of the drama centers—- Western Reserve University; in Cleveland, Goodman Theatre in Chicago, the Pasadena Playhouse near Los Angeles. Mills College in San Francisco and the University of Washington in Seattle - The Board interviewed candidates for the new job.

The girls had to be graduates of a. University where they had majored in the drama. They were considered along three lines: They had to have an academic back- ground: They had to have exper- iencc in the theatre. They had to have personality and character a- daptable to the conditions under which they would have to work. Miss McCabc signed them up un- der the Civil Service at the very tidy salary of $5.020. a year. This unit is now in Tokyo, Japan. Those who play-ed in the Pacific Area had s unique thrill. For the first time in the history of Japan "The Mikado" was performed in Tokyo ill the Toho Theatre newly re- cl-iristened the "Ernie Pyle Thea- tre."

Juvenile Delinquency

Public Nurseries Ara Suggested As llelp For Tlreil Mothers

i

When we lay the blame for juvenile delinquency on mothers. We are both right and wrong. We are right in thinking that mothers are the formative influence in children's lives, and that if they are brought up in u. happy home-where they have love, security and wise guid- arice-there is small danger of their ever going wrong. 1t is Mother's hand that shapes the clay, and if Mother is on her lob. she turns out the kind of men and women who are a blessing to the world.

But it Mother is an unprincipled woman. sh: brings up children who become jail birds. is weak, frivolous, pleasure-mad and spends her time at taverns, bars and dance halls. her chil- dren follow the same pattern of life that she has set them. and they are old in sln before they are old in years, They have never had a home that cveii a pig would want to live in. They have been taught iiclthcr manners nor morals, nor given any

‘ ~ s a . - ablyliirelzctiliisrsii:taiioiiierintpiigc ti: this juvenile delinquency problem that we have not taken sufficiently into account. It is that the rca; son why so many mothers faii in their duty to their children is no because of their own iiiertness. indifference, o": tinuillingness to salor - fice themselves to their youngsters, but because they are faced wit a task that they have neither the ability nor strength to perform.

I have a letter from one of those mothers who has many children and little inoney. She says: "We mothers are not. entirely to blame for Juvenile delinquency. We ‘are so heavily overburdened ivith house- hold tasks, plus tho job of giving the chlldreii the attention they need. that we are physically and mentally worn-out. As a result. the chil- dren suffer from our short tempers. I haven't had a day off since my
