Importance. But as sure as we
overlook them, the very persons we
most want to see us in a favorable
light will notice them and regard
us as careless or lazy. Feminine
charm depends on these 'lesser"
things. A starched, frilly white col
lar can make you look fresh and
dainty but, if it's limp and gray
looking, it will stamp you imme-
diately as lacking in fastidiousness.
Watch Makeup Shades
And another detail that we too
often fail TO give it's proper place
is makeup blending. The wrong
shade of powder, rouge and lipstick
can ruin the whole outfit. Remem-
Der that the proper shade to wear
with green may fail to bring out
your best points if you change to
pale pink or powder blue. A pow
der that is too light or too dark
for your particular type of slim can
make you look pastey or dirty as
the case may be. Bear these points
in mind when selecting your Easter
outfit. The small details which YOU
may overlook, may make you I'M
favOrably conspicuous in the Easter
parade.

Yesterday 1 watched young
friend of mine get all dressed up in
her Sunday best for gala party.
She had bought new dress and her
best beau had sent her a lovely
corsage. Her hat was the exact
shade of delicate blue as her dress.
She should have looked fresh and
lovely but unfortunately - she
missed.
Her white gloves had seen wear
several times that week and she
had neglected to wash them. Not
only that, one finger had ripped at
the seams, and rather than take
minute to repair the damage, she
let the scarlet tip of her nail show
through. She had gone out the
night before in her new slippers,
had walked across the damp, muddy
ground and failed to give them a
cleaning. Her blouse needed press
ing but she felt that it would go
unnOticed. But, alas, those are the
things we do notice.
Small Details Are Important
Few of us realize the Importance
of little details of grooming. A
daShing new dress or suit only
serves to call attention to our short
comings if the small items of COS
tuning are faulty. We are inclined
to say, "What shabby looking
gloves" or How dirty her shoes
are" rather than comment on the
excellence of the rest Of the en-
semble.
Gloves, purses, shoes, belts, all
those accessories are so small that
we may be inclined to overlook their

Status of Local Suspected Draft DeIinque
Gas Increase
 May Result In .PriceWarHere
Distributors Raise Scale Cent a Gallon; Dealers
 Watch for Effects

Notice from distributors of an increase in the price of gasoline to dealers prom iSes to start another gasoline price war in Waterbury. Prices, which have been more or less stable for the past sev- eral months, were being changed today by chain con- cerns and independents. Dealers have been informed of a price raise of one cent a gallon. Some of them raised their prices by that amount last night and today, but others put theirs up only fraction in an att tempt to induce business
 Recurrent price wars led several months to request by independent dealers of alleged attempts at re- straint of trade by major companies. The independents asked for a gov ernment investigation of the situ- ation.
 The price increases for gas sold to motorists varied considerably about the city today. Traffic gas went up from 5-10ths of a cent to & cent, regular gas from 6-10ths of a cent to a cent, and premium gasoline from 5-10ths of cent to a cent.
 Dealers were wary of another citywide epidemic of price cutting prices closely.
