BEAUTIES' HINTS Experiment With Trial Size Before Buying Giant Jars of Cosmetic* BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer By buying a one-pound Jar of j cream (or other cosmetics) Instead ' of four four-ounce Jars in a row— I as you need to replenish—you'll be j doing both yourself and Uncle Sam a good turn. Yourself, by saving 1 [jennies. Uncle Sam, by helping the i national economy which needs conserve packing materials, labor, machinery and space in transporta tion. Of course it wouldn't be economy to buy a big-fellow size of cream that you never tried before and which may not click. If you're an experimenter, buy a trial size to see if it “takes." If it does, replace with a one-pounder, and keep it in a cool place so that it will retain its freshness. -WE, THE WOMEN Armed Forces Should Block Romances Of War Prisoners By RUTH MILLETTE The Army la blocking the mar irage of a 19-year-old White Plains, N.
