. Dear Ellen M: Its surprising
what little bit need be spent on
beauty preparations. In Eng

are being rationed. each woman

five cents day on these prep

A well-known beauty EDITOR
vas asked what she could do
with five cents a day or 50 90

swer is both interesting and sur
prising.
First of all. she said she would
purchase four ten cent hpsticks
nice fat ones. then three ten
cent boxes of powder. a large
sixty cent bottle of hand lotion.
a highly effective deodorant, a
dollar jar Of good night cream
and q cake of polishing powder
for her nails II dime or 80 re-
manned. she said she would get n
little rouge.
So you see, cosmetics need not
be an expensive proposition.
II you would always look your
best. start out your daily beauty
routine with good scrubbing
with soap and water. Never put
on fresh makeup over stale cos
metics. Next. pat on a little skin
freshener. then apply your
foundation. Unless your skin is
inclined to be dry. you may not
even need a foundation.
When applying lipstick, be
sure that you get it well into the
corners Of your lips and you
might smooth the edges with a
brush. Also whisk off sll ex-
cess face powder with a clean.

your rouge carefully. avoiding
those round. red splotches you
used to see so often. Many wo-
men refrain from using rouge
altogether. but those who do,
blend it 20 subtly it's hard to
tell when they are using it and
when they are not.
Lastly comes eye makeup
which any number of women
eliminate altogether. II you do
wish to enhance your eyes. be
sure you choose the right shade
of eyeshadow. use it sparingly
and blend II carefully. A little
mascara on the lashes of the
upper lids is effective.

Gay happy crowds thronged War ner's State theater yesterday when the. new laugh hit "Keep Elm Fly- ing, co-starring Bud Abbott and Lou Costello opened It's engagement as the headliner of the smash screen bill.
 The picture surpasses anything in the guffaw category to come from Hollywood in many moons and had yesterdays audiences practically rolling In the aisles. It's the funniest of the Akbott-C Costello series and if you don't believe us just pay visit to the State real soon and see for yourself why the talk of Waterbury.
 According to critics "Keep Elm Flying" is one of the biggest com- edies of sthis or any year. It was produced on a lavish scale and backgrounded against Uncle Saln's efforts to annually tram an addi- tional 60,000 officers for the Army Air corps.
 Combining riotous hilarity with romance, songs and aviation thrills, the offering boasts of 6 big and brilliant supporting cast headed by Charles Lang and the Six Hits, famed vocalising sextet who are currently the toast of the alr waves.
 Tn the new offering Abbott and Costello are seen as air school "grease monkeys" while Martha Rave and Carol Bruce portray sing. ing hostesses in c USO clubhouse. William Gargan characterlzes Q ciV- llian flying instructor, while Dick Foran appears aS . circus stunt flyer who enroils in the school in order to be near Miss Bruce. Charles Lang portTayS Miss Bruce's brother, Q flying cadet and William Davidson is operator of the aEnuse- inent park that figures in the open- ing scenes.
 Carrying greater story values and Q for more elaborate mounting than any of the earlier Abbott and Cos- tello films, "Keep Em Flying" is highlighted by sensational aerial Be- queneeS that will have State patrons holding on to their seats.
 Tn addition to this laughsriot the management presents q thrilling tale of the south seas titled South of Tahiti" starring Drlan Donivey with Brod Crawford, Andy DeVine and the new sensation Maria Monte.
 Make c date now to Bee thls swell show At the State. It's guaranteed entertainment for every member of the family and must for every. ones list.
