WILMA LAVlLLE
For Dewy Makeup
LAVlLLE

A DECIDED spring vogue
"A is dewy, moist-looking
makeup-the kind that you
read about in novels, and won
der what they're talking about
or how you can get it. It's a
makeup that Stimulates the
fresh look of youth, and it
really is becoming and flatter-
ing, if you do it right. And, of
course, there are new makeups
coming out to give you that
look. One Of them, which
we've written up in part be-
fore, is now offered in a grand
Introductory set. 1t is Milk of
Cucumber foundation lotion,
which is grand powder base,
giving the misty, dewy look to
your complexion, and a box of
face powder to use with it. The
powder part is new, and the
fact that the two come in a box
together for So, the powder
alone being the regular So size,
and the Milk of Cucumber sells
regularly for 81 or more. The
two work we'll together, the
powder bringing out the best
skin tints in your face if you
select the right shade, and the
Milk of Cucumber making a
perfect base for it, covering up
any possible blemishes, and
forming fine protective coat
ing on the face. The offer is
for a short time only, and the
products are from a famous
house.

THE Co1FFUREs of 30

THE CoIFFUREs of 90
years ago inspired those of
today, as we can see by ex-
amining this photograph Of
Katharine Hepburn as she
will appear in Jane Eyre"
at the National Theater
next week. Miss Hepburn
wears her spiral halo right
over the forehead in the
manner approved by Queen
Victoria, but we today can
use more freedom, as you
see by the modern photo
graph, which shows a coif-
fure especially designed to
show the mode of today as
compared with that of 1847.
The length of the hair is
quite different too, as Jane
Eyre's" auburn tresses are
long, and are rolled into
quaint finger curls. The
red-haired girl in the other
photograph wears her short
er hair in snug curls that
conform to her headline. If
you would like to have a
modern adaptation of a Vic
torian coiffure designed for
you, call Miss Laville at
District 1000, Extension 459,
during business hours and
she will tell you where this
charming modern coiffure
was arranged.

Nov you can arrange your

system, and assure at the same
time safety for your belongings.
The secret is this grand little
purse kit" which has pockets and
places for everything. 1t will keep
your makeup from being smeared
or busted over the other things
in your handbag, and will keep
them clean, too. There is a pocket
for tissues, a place for your mirror
where it will be safer, and so on
and on. To quote the list of sugges-
tions, put in compact, lipstick, per.

! dinner.
Simplicity for these menus can
not be overemphasized. For such
menus, perhaps one new dish
can add the distinctive touch
needed. Choose certain dishes
that can be prepared weIl in ad-
vance. Certain jelled salads or a
salad such as Roquefort vegetable
salad can be prepared and chilled
hours in advance of the party.
Cake is rather good for dessert.
Many bakeries specialize in fresh
fruit cakes or chocolate fudge
cakes. If you plan on making it,
do this on the day before your
party. This will save much time
and energy.
APPETIZERS
For a first course appetizers are
always delightful. Seafoods of va
rious kinds, particularly shrimpS,
win the praise Of your guests. The
baby shrimps now on the market
are perfect for canapes and hors
d'oeuvreS.
In preparing the fresh shrimp,
plunge the green shrimp in boil
ing water for 10 minutes. Peel
and clean. These can be broiled
in a half strip of bacon and i'm
paled on toothpick or split and
each half spread with Roquefort
cheese, then rolled in flour, egg,
and bread crumbs and fried in hot
fat to a golden brown. Such an
appetizer is bound to make guests
ask avidly for the recipe.
The two menus are planned for
the guest supper. In one case had
dock is used in place of the usual
shellfish for a delicious creamed
seafood main dish. The stuffed
olive and green pepper give the
sauce an interesting co1or.

 Sitting in the lobby of the Gastin- eau Hotel with Mrs. Golden Brady, his newly appointed guardian, the young Nulato Indian boy smiled with enthusiasm as he talked of going to a big school in the United States" but even the prospect of such an event has not altered his plans for an oyster picker's career.
 The child. accompanied by Mrs Brady and by Miss Katherine Dwy- CT of Nulato, will enter school in Seattle where Mrs Brady is to make her home Well known in the Territory where she has been nurse in many remote districts, she has just completed a term of serv- ice in Nulato.

 ADDS ABABA, Italian Ethiopia solin's rule, IS teeming with scenes reminiscent of American gold rush days.
 Americas GO West, young manr has become the Italian "go South, and thousands of new citizens are pouring into the capital.
 The Italian settlers left electric ity, gas, running water and sewer age and they want them here, where they do not exist. Right now the prime necessity is a roof overhead.
 Many Ethiopian buildings con- structed of mud, with corrugated iron roofs on which the rain plays an anvil chorus, have been taken over by the Italians.
 Engineers are surveying wat erfalls near Addis Ababa with the intention of harnessing it to pro- vide electricity for the city.
 Water is provided by wells and an aqueduct from the Entotto hills, but is not piped to the houses. A bath is a great luxury. Garbage collection has just started.
 Despite these still primitive con- ditions social life in the capital is fairly gay.

BERLIN'S S0NC| FOUNTAIN ) DRIES| IN ALASKA CLIMB
Too Inspired to Compose Tunes," Says Irving
 in Juneau

The king of ballad, Irving Berlin, was "too inspired with Alaska" to compose any tunes, he declared upon his re-arrival in Juneau today.
 The yacht Seyelyn II, Capt. Casey Moran, berthed at the Standard Oil Company docks with Berlin and his party at 1:30 o'clock tNs afternoon to pick up Lee Considine, guide, for a goat hunting expedition until the first of September
 Since leaving Juneau last Friday the Berlin party has viewed Glacier Bay and has fished in Basket Bay.
 But it's so beautiful, I haven't really got down to work, the song master asserted. Perhaps after I'm back in Hollywood, the Alaskan scenery will inspire me to write a song. Right now, we're just out to have a good time-especially for the kids"
 However, Berlin also was inter- ested in Alaskan curios and the first stop he made, after leaving the ves- sel, was to local store where he previously had purchased several items.
 He went there clad in his fish, ing clothes of blue denim pants and green rain-coat and hat.
 His wife, Ellin Mackay Berlin, daughter of the prominent utility magnate, however, said, I've got to get to a hair-dresser first. I'll meet you at the Territorial Museum later"
 She, accompanied by their two daughters, Mary Ellen and Linda Louise, Sam Goldwyn, Jr., son of the Hollywood producer; and Jack Mckenzie, hefty employee of Ber- lin's, parted temporarily from the songwriter. They were dressed for the weather also. n-..
 Berlin said the outstanding ex- perience in the past week was See ing wild goose come on board and watch us fish. We didn't try to mo- lest her and for about six hours she stayed there, just watching the chil- dren fish. Capt. Moran said proba- ply she had young around and didn't want to leave"
 The party is scheduled to leave Juneau early tomorrow for goat hunting.
