The Correct
Thing
By Amy Vanderbilt
Committed
"Dear Miss Vanderbilt: I was
shaken up recently by an article
in Today's Health called
'Womeri: How Liberated Do
You Truly Want to Be?' A
women's liberation survey was
included. The first question
was: 'Would you be willing to go
out in public on a hot summer
day without: A. Wearing make-
up? B. Wearing stockings? C.
Wearing a bra? D. Shaving your
legs and underarms?'
"According to the author,
Ellen Herman, M.D., you are
fully committed to women's li-
beration if you circle all four.
"NowI don't mind the idea of
going without stockings. And I
agree with something you wrote
that say woman who doesn't
need to wear a bra is silly to
wear one. As for make-up, I like
it, and I know it gives me more
self-c onfidenc e. And anyone
who doesn't have to shave her
legs is stupid to do so, but de-
pilatories take off leg hair with-
out too much trouble. As for not
shaving under the arms, this is
an old European idea. Latin
men, in particular, think unsha-
ven women are sexy.
"But the point of the article is
that the 'committed woman'
says 'My body is me.' 'Although
she makes herself attractive,'
the article goes on, 'she is not
willing to go through uncomfor-
table beauty rituals for the sake
of propriety or to conceal what
her body looks like.'
"I don't know if you want to
mix into this, but I think it gets
into your field. M.L.W.,
Hempstead, N.Y."
Let's take these things one by
one. I can't see that refusing to
wear make-up makes any wo-
man more "committed'' to the
cause of women's liberation. If
any woman has a good clear
complexion, naturally red lips,
lust rous eyes and long
eyelashes, she certainly doesn't
need many of the cosmetic aids
other women lean on. I would
like to see less phony blonde,
hair, but the right make-up
usually gives women a pleasant
lift. Usually, too, it pleases their
husbands. (I know this is not
supposed to count).
On wearing stockings, this is
very much a matter of what
one's legs look like. I know a
woman who went barelegged all
winter long and was covered
with goose pimples. She made
everybody else feel cold.
Women with heavy veins would
not only feel better with stock-
ings (probably support) but
could spare the public, which I
think is rather important.
On wearing a bra, you have
quoted me.
On shaving your legs and
underarms, many legs that are
merely downy could be left
alone, but this
personal taste. Bushy under-
arms? Well, it just isn't part of
the American woman's cultural
pattern. Most women here want
to conform to this, as it is con-
sidered good gr ooming in
America.
It all boils down to this, I
think: Are what the author calls
"uncomfortable beauty rituals"
all that uncomfortable? I think
most women look forward to
their beauty parlor appoint-
ments with pleasure and often
relief. They come out feeling
rested and more attractive
whether or not they really are
more attractive makes no dif-
ference.
I think a man, too, who
shaves, has his hair trimmed
attractively, gives himself a
manicure and improves his self-
image certainly is more attrac-
tive to the general public. Post
cards, please.
The Last Beer
"Dear Miss Va nder bilt :
Every time my sons come home
from college for a weekend, I
can be sure they will empty the
refrigerator of beer. I can be
equally sure that if they have
borrowed the car they have left
it with just enough gas to get it
started. And they certainly
haven't emptied the ashtrays or
had the car washed, although I
always keep it in tip-top condi-
tion.
"By the time I have dis-
covered their sins and omis-
sions, they are several hundred
miles away, and it is rather
hard to cope with this by mail or
phone. I am sure other fathers
have the same and additional
complaints. G. D., Dallas,
Texas."
We have the same trouble in
our house. I find that once the
children are out of college and
established in their own house-
holds, suddenly they seem to
understand what we are talking
about. They have seen posses-
sions taken care of, and when
they get their own they tend to
follow their parents' example.
After all, by that time it is their
money that is involved and
their pride.

Williams had been offered an
assistant principal's position at

teaching duty about 50 per cent
of the time. He declined and
sought other employment, wor-

Judge Gordon ruled t h a t Wil-

had received in his final year as
