Beauty Struck

Helena' Rubinstein, who operates a highly successful cosmetics business from New York to Bombay and has Prince Gourielli-Tchkonia of Georgia (U.S.S.R.) for a spouse, has probably never heard of Ora Gassaway.

Mr. Gassaway, so far as is known, has never availed himself of any beauty aids. He is a hulking, homely, gold-toothed assistant to the coal miners' John L. Lewis. He is also head of District 50, which is the Gas, Coke & Chemical Workers of the C.I.O. Some weeks ago, Mr. Gassaway's unionists struck Princess Helena's perfume plant for higher wages.

Ecdysiast Gypsy Rose Lee, exposing her social consciousness, went to make a speech, but got lost on Long Island. Outside the swank Rubinstein store in Manhattan, picketers marched, chanting:

Princess Helena, have you any dough?

Yes sir, yes sir, I'll say so.

Some for the Prince and some for the scabs,

But none for the boys and girls who work in the labs.

Mr. Gassaway, who had never before had so much beauty and poetry on his side in a labor dispute, was pleased & proud.
