Informal Fashions
At 'HellZapOppin''

It hasn't been q very "dresSy" sea-
son as far as opening night at the
National is concerned, and last
nights audience was no exception.
However, this spirit Of informally
which seems likely to become In
creasingly important Is not without
its fashion significance. While
clothes are usually street length,
they are looking and fashion,
right. Millinery reflects the modes
of the moment and the theater audi
ence can be depended upon to give
an accurate picture Of what smart
women are wearing In Washington.
The good black dress continues
to be favored by the flrst-nighters
who add dash with perky little hats.
Pastels, both in tiny calots and big
ger brimmed models, stood out as
the winter favorite, although there
was q smattering Of f1ower-trimmed
chapeaux and q first glimpse OF
those white touches" which usually
pop up about this time.

II you're planning . trip in the

An inexpensive article that is also
essential for trip is little clothes

A truly feminine cigarette case Is

One Of the most practical souve-

eager to give out with your own
ideas and opinions, that you lit
orally don't give the other fellow a
chance to get q word in edgewise.
When you understand why you
talk so much, the remedy becomes
apparent. You must shift your mind
of yourself and develop an interest
in other people. This won't be
easy, but you can do 1t.
Before you have date, sit down
and do some deliberate brain-beat-
ing about the boy, his activities and
interests. And don't let your mind
sneak back to wondering what he
thinks about you! Put the emphasis
on him, for a change.
What are his opinions about the
war? What sports does he ike2
In what studies is he most inter-
ested, and why? Are his ideas about
the movies, swing bands and radio
comedians anything like yours?
When you ask yourself these ques-
lions, you'll probably be surprised
at how little you really know about
the boy and the way his mind works
During the date itself, resist every
impulse to express your own ideas,
beyond what is necessary to make
him talk. OF course. that doesn't
mean you should shut up like q
clam. After all, any conversation
should be q two-way proposition
not a speaker and audience ha-
rangue. You'll have to make COM
ments and ask questions, but let
him do the conversational pitching
for a change, while you merely do
the catching.
And be interested in what he Is
saying. It will take time to train
yourself to be a good listener, but its
worth the effort. Boys like to tax
too!
You'll have to follow much the
same procedure when you are at q
party, or in any group, even group
Of your girl friends. Don't endeavor
to emulate the Great Stone Face all
of q sudden. Don't just squelch
your every impulse to talk, because
that will make you dull. Merely shift
your interest to other people and
quit prattling constantly about your
own affairs.
II you do this, you'll not only In
crease your popularity rating with
boys, but you'll undoubtedly make
girls like you better also.
Q. Recently I wrote . letter to q
boy who lives out Of town, and who
has taken me out Just once, inviting
him to my school dance. I asked
him to telephone me to discuss fur
ther details, and Enclosed 20 cents
to pay for his call. I explained that
I would have called him II he had
had . phone.
Many have criticized me for send
ing the money, and I'd like to have
your opinion. Did I insult the boy?

well-meant gesture Of inclosing the
cost Of the call. We don't think II
was necessary, but It's always better
to be thoughtful about small flnan.
cial details than to be careless OF
"chiseling."
II the boy took 1t all right, we'd
suggest that you quit worrying about
it. However, in dealing with most
boys, it's Just as well not to insist
on paying every little expense such
as this. The lordly male usually
enjoys making the generous gesture
Of spending money on girl-wher
he has 1t to spend-so why deprive
him of the pleasure?

Right now, Little, Brown & Co. Is
about to present her new book, "Ad-

The second Of our who
are-going-pla is Margot Boulton
de Roditi, who has begun the
tremendous task of making Vene-
Zuelans aware of what's going on
In the United States-and vice
versa. Nine. Roditi has spent a
good part of her life in Paris, and
when she came here at the out
break of the war was surprised TO
find that we had small knowledge
Of her country and they of us. So.
she returned to Caracas and with
private funds donated by leading
citizens Of Venezuela opened a Gull
tural and information center open
to people Of both countries.
For the past six months Nine.
Roditi has directed daily classes IN
English and has gathered books and
periodicals from South America and
the United States. Schools and
colleges in this country have been
invited to use the center as a clear
ing house for information on Vene-
xuela. The 1900 American families
In Venezuela have found the Idea
invaluable, as have hundreds OF
visitors who have been entertained
there.
So successful has Nine. Roditi
been in her work to establish a
closer friendship between the two
nations that the ONCE OF the Co.
ordinetor of Inter-American Affairs
here in Washington has bestowed
q grant upon the center and will
provide a full-time, paid teacher
Up until this time, Nine. Roditi
has had only voluntary assistance in
carrying on this important work.

Beauty Hints

Decade
Masque Containing
Milk and Lemon
Juice Advised
By Patricia Lindsay

Keep your beauty routine simple
these days, make it thorough and
repeat it often" is the advice Of
Miss Beatrice Kay. petite star Of
tho current radio program THE
Gay NiQeties." Miss Kay, who Is
now recognized as an authority on
the mauve decade, takes her cue
from the beauty recipes Of that era.
women Of the mauve decade"
she relates, were noted for their
exquisite compilations. Yet their
beauty schedules were 50 simple.
Soap. with plenty Of water, supple
mented by individual homemade
formulas which featured such mum
dane aids as lemon Juice. EPSON
salt or milk, seemed to suf1ice."
OF these Mlss Ray favors two.
Two or three times a week, at the
end Of an exhausting day, she treats
her skin to a milk-and-lemon beauty
masque. This mixture originated
with the famous beauty, Lillian
Russell, 1t is rumored, and is made
by squeezing the juice of one lemon
into q glass of milk. The face and
throat are bathed with the lotion
and then covered with lotion satu-
rated pads which remain on the
face for about an hour while one
relaxes. 1t serves as q mild bleach
and Is excellent for tired or sallow-
looking skin.
Another preparation which Bea-
trice Kay culled from a bethumbed
beauty book comes from Lottie Gill
son, whom daddy or granddaddy will
remember. It consists Of one cup
Of boiling water in which Is dis
solved one heaping tablespoon OF
EPSON salts. To this is added one
tablespoon Of glycerin and one cup
Of rose water. Shake the mixture
well before sponging 1t over the
face with fresh absorbent cotton
After q minute rub the skin gently
with soft cotton. The EPSON salt
cleanses and acts as q mild as
tringent. The rose water and glyc-
erin soothe and soften. If this To-
ton is applied properly it leaves a
velvety mat finish to the skin which
serves nicely as a powder base-and
Is quite flattering!
Before applying makeup you
must have a clean, clear skim
warns the charming Miss Kay. mo
makeup can cover your neglect,
and coating applications rob the
skin of a much desired translucent
quality, 50 take q tip from the ladies
Of old and accentuate natural
beauty lightly. Personally, I think
1t Is about time that girls and
women ceased making up in public
The habit is not an Attractive one
and certainly destroys the halo OF
woman's beauty. 1t is far better to
do your painting in private and lei

that you are beautiful woman!'
