fteauties’ Hints
Actress Gives
Tips For Smooth,
Kissable Lips
BY ALICIA HART
There is nothing quite S° U"‘
,1 as lipstick left on the rim
lur cup or glass. Except, per
' a new coat of lipstick which
has 'been applied unevenly over
the old layer.
irJsss ago°f
Sffi, Vble lips depended
on two things- .
. „„ » tiny brush to
' First’r lips,” says talented
S'aifd stage actress Vick Vola.
“Start from each corner of your
,, h and work toward the bow
r«, ■">» *s!
outline of your lower lip in the
same way*
Incidentally, this is a good way
to use up the rouge left in the
bottom of the container.
“Fill in with a generous amount
of lipstick,” she continues, “and
then press a piece of tissue against
vour mouth, to absorb the excess
lipstick. This will leave them satin
smooth.”
And to set it so that there won t
be tell-tale marks on cups and
such, Vicki suggests you lightly
powder your mouth and then
moisten your lips.

Some Basic Foods Show
Big Increase This Year
By BETTY MacDONALD
WASHINGTON, April 22. — Tf
that6nf r k,nottier Problem than
families Hg 30'000’000 civilian
latest a 0verseas aUies- and the
largest American Army and Navy
on record, then harassed WPB of
ficials want none of it.
the present food manage
ment plan, civilians this year will
have about 11 per cent less meat;
21 per cent less butter; 27 per cent
less canned vegetables. But there
will be 30 per cent more chicken;
13 per cent more fresh frozen
fruits; 57 per cent more marga
nne.
Economists roughtly estimate
that we 11 have about 3 per cent
more food than in pre-war years
but it will be staple, not fancy!
Military and lend-lease require
ments will take 25 per cent of the
food this year but the civilian diet
will be healthy and adequate
FLAG RATIONING
American flags will be manu
factured in limited amounts, but
there’ll be enough to go around
on Flag Day, coming up on June
14. However, WPB has ruled that
theater and advertising banner
making will be eliminated. Church
and fraternal flags will also be
limited.
FOOT NOTES
Clever gals are using white pi
i que bows, pompoms, grosgrain
ribbons, non-critical buckles to
dress up their basic shoe. Gay
hats and gloves are also "pick
ups” for the dark-toned war-model
shoes. Many shops are consider
ing the possibility of a shoe repair
service in their stores, or the es
tablishment of a clinic for old
shoes that might be salvageable.
To help the sweet girl graduate
this year with her problem of buy
ing a brand new pair of white
dressy pumps with her precious
No. 17 coupon, shoe dealers are
suggesting non-rationed play shoes
for graduation. Others offer to dye
the white shoes after they have
been used.
WOOL AT WAR
ADout 200 pounds of fleece is
needed to keep each American sol
dier in warm uniforms and blan
kets, so housewives are urged to
take care of the wool they have
on hand. Come spring, and the
moths go to work, home econo
omists announce. Therefore, know
your enemy and rout him out be
fore he starts boring from within.
Air your woolens, brush them to
kill moth larvae. Use plenty of
naphthalene to discourage larvae
from feeding; seal blankets and
woolen garments tightly in con
tainers for the summer.
ODDS 'N* ENDS
Whale meat may be on your
menu soon, as fishermen begin
the search for these mammals to
supplement the meat shortage.
One whale yields about 15 tons
of meat. . . The rayon stripe has
been eliminated from knitted un
derwear to save time and labor.
. . . There’ll be more “strike any
where” matches on the market. . .
The 1943 spinach pack is now un
der a dollars and cents maximum
price ceiling. . . Ski shoes will
be rationed.

Chlorine divides its time be
tween home and war fronts these
days. We are accustomed to
think of it as a dry cleaner, a
bleach, a disinfectant, a fire ex
tinguisher. It now goes to war
to make synthetic rubber, explo
sives, gases, anti-freeze for planes,
i -—
trucks and jeeps, plastics and
resins.
-V
Restricted use of etals means
steel shanks, which supported
those three-inch heels, are being
replaced by wood. Golf oxfords will
have no metal spikes, and there
will be fewer eyelets, tacks and
functioning buckles. There will be
priorities, though, for orthopedic
and factory shoes designed with
extra toe protection.
