LADY BADEN-POWELL SPEAKS OUT
COCKTAILS AND LIPSTICK “ Cocktails and lipstick to me are like a red rag to_ a bull—l consider them entirely artificial and decadent!” declared Lady Baden-Powell, G.8.E., World Chief Guide, during an interview, when she visited Brisbane with her husband, the Chief Scout (Lord Baden-Powell), and their daughters, tho Hons. Heather and Betty BadenPowell.
Referring to the uniform worn by the Guides, Lady Baden-Powell said that it varied according to the climate of tho country. For instance, in Ceylon it was white, in India khaki, in Latvia green, in Hungary brown, in America greenish grey, and in Poland grey. .Elsewhere, however, the uniform was generally navy blue.
Incidentally, Lady Baden-Powell frankly declared that she “loathed clothes,” and could raise no personal interest in them. Of backless bathing costumes she said: “ If people like fo display their naked bodies it is their lookout, but I believe a lady’s natural instinct is to have modesty and do all things in moderation.”— ‘ Queenslander.’
