Beauties Hints
Making Faces
Keeps You Young
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

When we were young we were told
it wasn't nice to make faces, but as
the years slip by you'll find that
making faces is one Of the best ways
to keep looking alert and young.
"Your emotional life leaves its
handwriting on your face" says
Florence Eldridge, popular stage
star of the current Broadway hit,
Skin Of Our Teeth"
"And because habitual expressions
bring the same facial muscles into
play over and over again, you should
go through set of daily facial eX-
ercises to develop unused muscles
and break facial habits which re-
suit in wrinkles"
Here are two the actress recon-
mends:
To preserve the wide-eyed eager
look Of youth, stand in front of the
mirror, open your eyes as wide as
you can, and gently close them
several times. 1t will help correct
droopy eyelids.
Form the habit of keeping the
corners of your mouth up. An exer-
else which will help, is to fill your
mouth with water, puff your cheeks
out and in, sloshing the water
around inside with your tongue.

fashions, and the name is carrying
over into all rest time and play time

Biggest "off-duty" news is color
bright, brash and beautiful. Novel
contrasts have been worked out,
with applique motifs favorite Of
both designers and buyers. In the
main, skirts are as full as WPZ per-
mits, with all emphasis on figure
accenting. It's the old femininity
touch again.
An excellent illustration is the
dress worn by Marguerite Chapman,

by white felt vest on which is ap-
pliqued red felt flower and green
leaves.
Unusual new prints are runners
up to applique decoration among the
new play frocks. They are generally
gometric rather than floral, with
stripes and dots in the foreground
of the picture.
An interesting combination of the
two is seen in a drindl-style jumper
dress, worn over plain white
blouse and modelled by Betty
Rhodes, whom you'll see in Salute
for Three The body of the dress
is made of gold crepe, coin-dotted
all over in red, green and white. The
same colorS are used, in the form of
brilliant Roman stripes, to make
deep border around the bottom of
the skirt.

off for a man she likes if he asks
her, instead of telling her to do

1t isn't surprising that war
plants are finding out that men
don't know how to handle women.
Men simply have never made
any effort to understand women
and to find out what they are really
like.
1t has always been so much easier
to assume that they are brainless,
silly creatures who can't be under
stood.
So through the ages the under
standing has come the other way
Women have made it their bust
ness to understand men and
men have shrugged off womens
ideas and opinions and idiosyn-
crssies with the old What will
women do neXt?" comment.
WOULDN'T DREAM ="
Although, judging by the mail

apologize for reading a column of
comment written by woman.

BY WILLIAM E. MCKINNEY
Americas Card Authority

This is the fifth Of series Of
six articles discussing what 1
consider the rarest play in bridge,
the smother play or trump coup.
The play was named by Sam
Mailman, one Of the tournament
directors of the American Contract
Bridge League.
AS l said earlier in this series,
it is vital to the success of the
smother play that the hand with
out the long trump or the safely
guarded honor be thrown in when
the stage has been set for the exc
cution of the play.
In today's hand, the diamond
queen was overtaken by East, the
ace was cashed, and South ruffeC
the third diamond. The bidding in
dictated that West was short in the
major suits. Dummy was entered
with the king of clubs and the ter
of spades was led, East of courS'
refusing to cover. Another truml
lead was won with the jack in Thu
closed hand. South then cashec
three high hearts, and the ace o
clubs.
If he led a heart at this point
East would win and return a trump
setting the contract. But South LEI

Those same shall shine on you"
