Hildegarde tens secrets

Hildega'rde4 whd has
entertained U,S. presidents,
royalty, VIPs, habitues of swank
supper clubs, and.plain Joes at
political rallies, confesses that
when the show is on she's a star,
but when the lights dim she 114 as
shy as anyone,' . , ,
Distinguisiiing between the,
on-stage' - Hildegarde with- the
legendary props consisting of
long white gloves, roses and a
linen -lace handkerchief -and the
off-stage woman, she admitted
`in an interview: "I get In front
of the politicians at a rally and
Tim just as persuasive as can be.
'But when I'm aback , in my„
apartment, I'm back in my shell
again."
"Her shyness, however, does
not extend to a subject that
leaves most women mute: her°
age. Hildegar'de's book (now
available in paperback edition),
in which she reveals her beauty
secrets, is defiantly ` 'hlitled:
"Over -50 --So . What!" Without
hesitation she says: 9 am well
over 50...but I feel like 32. I
just have a.great zest for living."
FASHION VIEWS
The Wisconsin -born
chanteuse is a great believer in
good diet, exercise; grooming
and fashion -sense. Simplicity is
the basis of elegance, according
to Hildegarde. And she qualifies
as an expert, having made the
"ten best dressed"''. -list three
times.
Her Opinions on the new midi
look are mixed, While she has a
few new suits, in the
midi -length --which she calls
d. modest"—she

firmly believes the shorter
hemline will endure. "I'm, not
going to get rid of -my .sh6rt
clothes because I think this
longer length is just a fad: It may
last a year or two."
The shorter length, she
claims, is moreattuned to
today's- emancipated women. "It
makes you , step light and feel
young and ,vital. I 'think it will
never go out of style."
FOOD AND DIET
Hildegarde, whose looks belie
her age, follows the old maxim:
"Make: the most of what you've
got."
She claims that proper skin
care is a matter of "discipline
and wanting to improve." And
the same goes for dieting.
"You've,got to startin the mind.
A lady `will say to- herself: 'I'm
not bad looking—but my figure
could be improved; my face.
could be improved.' And if she
.does something about it, it will
improve."
Hildegarde, who, admits she
"never misses a day" without
devoting ine to skin- care, also
believes in . eating only
