brown was the typical peasant

to note that Roman and Grecian

Green, the most common color

it's at "the club" that youll find

because here were the ancient
Phoenician trade routes. So many
shellfish were crushed to make
such . small quantity OF dye that
only the rich and regal could
afford 1t. Long before this, how
ever, purple was used in the robe
OF the high priests OF the Jewish
temple, and later In the robes Of
Greek generals and those leaders
who were attributed to the gods.
Purple and white was the robe
IN which Darius Of Persia ad-
vanced to meet Alexander the
Great, and thereafter it became
the color Of the cloaks Of Alexan-
der and his generals. Purple
were the sails Of Cleopatras
barge in which the rebellious An
tony fled from Actium. Both
julius and Augustus Caesar de-
creed that none but the Emperor
might wear purple, and under
Nero the wearing and sale of
purple cloth to others were pun

throne, born during his fathers
reign. was said to have been
born to the purple"
Gray was at one time the color
OF poverty, or Of those, like the
Quakers, who scorned the richer
colors. Charlemagne decreed gray
as the color "for the common
people" but today it has lost its
original somber connotation and
reappears with various tints of
blue, pink, green and silver.
Blue Is the color most widely
seen In sky and sea which makes

As for the lip brushes. once you

Tripping lightly over an old
cliche. the fashion department
chooses for today's lecture the
subject Waste not; want not"
With this original thought to
give you the general idea, we now
turn our attention to 4 specific
phase Of not-wasting and not
wanting, namely the business OF
conserving your cosmetics and
budgeting your beauty. There is
no real shortage OF cosmetics to-
day and no reason for boarding
anything, but 1t is obvious that as
time goes on you will notice slight
changesan the beauty set-up. You
may expect>a curtailment of COL
ors and more emphasis on = few
good, wearable shades instead of
4 million confusing ones. Perhaps
your cosmetics will come in less
ornate packages to conserve ma
terials, but they'll be attractively
put together and just as useful
whether they're in heavy card
board or cleaning gold-plate.
You may be asked to save Jars,
bottles, tubes or what-have-you,
to help your country's conserva-
ton program, and you are help
ing at this moment when you pay
the Federal tax on beauty aids
and when you do your part to
keep an important industry in
operation.
Above all the things, there are
other tricks you can learn-tricks
that will help you to look your
loveliest and be your most patri-
otic. Scattered around this page
today you'll find photographs Of
lovely Lucille Ball, R.K.O. star,
who illustrates some OF the most
important methods of "budgeting
for beauty" These are hints to

There is . new way Of living"
now in full sway all around US.
Washington, New York and Chi
cago are just as much . part OF
1t as the small town In Ohio or
Colorado. Brought on by q
realization Of what the world has
to face, and geared to the job
that must b done, We have
adopted . fortnight, straight
forward, down-to-earth life.
As most men have always
hated the frills that 60 to make
up . social existence, this meets
with their approval entirely. But
most Of them being in the service
or too busy on defense work to be
the boss at home, too, the women
have set the household machinery
to give the most for the least
50 that they can carry on by
themselves If necessary.
For q little while there were 4
few ostentatious moves such as
getting out the old buggy and
hitching q pathetic skinny nag to
1t for the morning shopping.
Women with four maids invited
guests to kitchen parties where
the food was cooked by the guests
land not very welD :. but all OF
this is over. Today we drive a
horse If the opportunity affords,
or We walk, and we cook our
meals and those OF our guests,
and we do it better, and less ex-
pensively than before. Now that
we understand what has to be
done it Is easier to chart a course
for the future.
With very large job which
needs to be done every day there
Is no time for affectation and
frills. The most charming homes
are the ones which are designed
for a good comfortable life, and If
the color scheme is dated or the
edges frayed 1t makes no differ
ence. The important point is that
1t should offer the rest and
relaxation needed, that for q little
time each day the occupants
whose nerves and strength are
tried to the utmost may have
privacy and a quiet place to
unwind" and be themselves. This
is the best that any home, simple
or elaborate, has to offer and it is
often all that is necessary to keep
overworked people on an even
keel.
Because we renounce fads. ex-
pensive gadgets. the maid or the
laundress does not mean that We
give up" There can be no lazy,
slip-shod methods at time like
this.
just because there Is no laun-
dress you cannot wear unlaun-
dered clothes; because there can
be no new draperies or rugs the
house cannot deteriorate all over
for lack of care. This is the time
to make the most of what you
have, make it last and give 1t the
best OF care. On top of all OF
this, use every ounce OF ingenuity
to make your home as attractive
as possible, 50 that along with its
practicality 1t has a touch Of
whimsy or beauty that gives q bit
of lit to the day.
Homes will be more and more
important as other places become
out Of reach through transporta-
ton difficulties. The arts and
science our grandmother used to
make her family content at home
will have to be recalled by
modern mothers. The cookie jar
will pinch hit for the ice cream
