Ten Years Ago Today
 in Waterbury
 Three Waterbury theaters; the Warner Bros. State and Strand, and the Fox Poli pal- ace, staged performances for the benefit of local unem- ployed. The feature motion picture attractions were Joe D. Brown in Local Boy Makes dood", Eddie Cantor in "Whoople" and Joan Crawford and Clark Gable in Possessed" Tn addition to the films, the midnight shows offered speciality acts by Wa terbury'S most talented ag- Tregations of stage perform CTS. At one theater the en- lire Brass City minstrel went through It's paces, and at ar- other the A. D, O. qaurtet held forth. Every cent of the proceeds was turned over to William M. Harris, chairman of the local unemployment committee.

NOTES ON SPRING COATS

Spring suits want to be known
as "soft-tailored." as distinguished
from either "dressmaker" or
"mannish." The models being
shown exemplify this aim by
using the precise tailoring of the
mannish suit so far as the At and
basic lines are concerned. but the
other look Is imposed on these
well-tailored jackets by means Of
applied decorations. For q fine
crepey wooden In q soft, dull green
or q medium gray shade. they take
rope-like coils Of the fabric and
apply them In q scroll motif that
starts at the jacket hem and
widens around to form circular
accents over the bust. For the
black wool suit with very small
standing band collar. the jacket
decoration Is q necklace-like ap-
plication Of tiny. shining buttons.
In q nickel or gold finish. and the
two-deep rows OF buttons may be
repeated either on cuffs or to or
nament the fiat. seton pockets
The effect. In total. Is to give
highlight interest to the Jacket
front. since the back Is smoothly
fitted. without any detail. and the
accompanying skirt Of straight.
narrow lines relieved only by q
single inverted pleat at center
front.

FOR WASHING WOOLENs

During the winter. washing the
wooden Blankets Is q recurrent
household requirement. Proper
care Of Blankets makes q big diff
ference In their durability and
appearance and the frequent re.
moval Of dirt IS the number one
rule. do
Successful washing calls for
simple but definite measures. Un-
less wool Is treated right 1t has a
tendency to shrink and to become
stiff and hard when wet.
Too much handling during the
washing Is One cause Of dissatis-
faction. but handling can be prac.
ttcally eliminated by the use of
extra-heavy suds. Doubling or
tripling the quantity Of soap in
creaSes its cleansing power so that
little handling Is needed. Soil
floats out by itself.
Sudden changes in the tempera-
ture OF the water or extremes of
temperature increase Shrinkage
and cause the flbers to interlock
and become hard and stiff. For
this reason. the temperature of
both the washing and rinSing wa
tiers should be evenly lukewarm
throughout.
After the final rinse. as we'll as
between rinses. excess water may
be extracted In the spinner Of the
washer or wrung out with the rolls
OF the wringer loosely adjusted to
avoid too much pressure on the
nap. II the washing Is done by
hand and no wringer is available.
the blankets should be hung drip
ping wet over two parallel lines q
couple OF feet apart so the air has
good chance to circulate.

Remember. however. you must

You learn most by making q few

by getting advice about the right
makeup shades for you.
Mirrors Can Lie

While your costume color has
some bearing on the shade Of lip.

makeup must harmonic flrst with
your own skin tones. II . color Is
harsh and unbecoming when you
are without makeup. then do not
expect 1t to become mirAculously

Of lipstick. It's q good idea. how.
ever. to carry q slightly brighter
shade Of lipstick for gloomy. rainy
days.
A trip to an expert hair stylist Is
always q good investment for the
woman who Is anxious to make the
most Of her appearance. Too many
women have the habit Of dressing
their hair 50 1t looks well only from
the front and side when seen In

unless 1t looks well from the back
as we'll. A hair styliSt can shape
your hair In the back to improve
your head contours. to hide q poor
neckline or I'LL In q bleak expanse
Of flesh behind the ears.
Don't Change Hair Color
Beware of bleaching or dyeing
your hair to regain q youthful ap-
pearance II your skin is sallow or
becoming lined. The contrast Of
shiny blonde. brown or black hair
and an aging skin Is obvious and
Just q bit unpleasant. No conscien-

NIT you to make q drastic change
In your hair coloring. You may give
your face q lift and add sparkle to

You should consult an authority
about this matter. however, and
