Daytime Makeup
Under Lanplight
Does a FadeOut
BY ALICIA HART
NEA STAFF Writer

For best results, you should really
use two shades Of makeup lone for
day and one for night. Actresses
and supper club stars have learned
the secret Of how to make up for
trying, artificial lighting. That Is
why their coloring looks so natural,
while yours may do o fade-out.
''Stay away from yellowish- beige
powders, cautions pert, iS-year-old
radio singer Nancy Norman Of
''Eyerybody's Inn" They turn a
ghastly jaundice-hue under artifl-
cial light, she has discovered. Blue
red lipsticks and clear light red lip
sticks are also taboo for nighttime
one goes black, the other disappears.
Nancy found the answer to her
own night makeup problem by ex-
perilnenting under electric lights at
home. Her solution may be yours,
too, SO here 1t Is:
First, she lays good foundation
Of unlimited vanishing cream to keep
q natural look. Over this goes q
powder with distinctly rosy cast,
which she presses on with cotton,
brushing away any little pools which
collect around nose and mouth.

double cross-bar, the diagonal
the diamond and the double dia-
mond effect, are all made easier
by the quilter attachment.
Housewives who have never
before done any quilting can
easily master the art at one Of the
many local sewing c n t r s
throughout the country that are
giving instructions on wartime
budget lessons in sewing short
cuts, dressmaker tricks and re-
modelling.
Any fabric is well suited to
quilting. The first fundamental
is that the entire length of the
fabric to be used in the quilted
garment must be quilted before any
Of the material is cut. An under
layer of cotton padding should be
used to obtain that luxurious, quilted
puffy" look.
Those who have always been
home dressmakers will flnd that

wearable or repairable condition.
The shoes requested must be for
occupational or general wear, not
merely for keeping up appearances.
Children who have outgrown their
shoes for general wear, but not for
party shoes. In order for anyone
to be eligible for a special shoe
shamp, all stamps in possession Of
anyone in his family group must
have been spent.
BUTTER PROBLEM
A step toward saving more cream
for butter has been made by the
War Food Administration in an
amended food order. Heavy cream
has been getting away, through the
practice Of adding a stabiliZer and
putting 1t on the market under q
brand-name. So you won't see any
more Of those packages Of whipped
cream.
There has been a good deal Of
clamor to get VITA to decrease its
take Of butter for the armed serv-
ices in order to increase the civilian
supply. VIA points out that al

Most fine players prefer to make

light. Mrs. Wilkinson Wagar OF
Atlanta, Ca one of the country's
leading women players and the
holder Of many national titles
found the South hand shown today
worth q bid, when most people
would pass 1t originally.
In playing and making her con-
tract, Mrs. Wagar also followed
expert practice in preferring to
play for a three-one trump break,
rather than two-two. Dummy's

More Heavy Bombers Needed
After Good November Total


Washington. Dec. 4-UP- The
Aircraft industry, which produced
S,7S9 planes in November, includ-
ing more than 1000 four-engine
bombers, was called upon by War
Production Board Chairman Donald
NJ. Nelson today to turn out even
greater number OF still larger
planes.
The November record, which
Nelson described as Satisfying
showed that planes rolled of pro-
duction lines continuously day and
night at rate OF ,sJtss tnan one
every FIVE minutes. Numerically.
the output last month was 3SS each
working day and exceeded october
production by 427 planes.
Production in November was 81
per cent Of schedule, the highest it
has been since the program was
initiated. WPB experts said on
the basis OF those figures that pro
duction this month would probab-
ly exceed the established goal OF
5000 planes per month.
Nelson said that more and larger
planes must be turned out by the
industry not only to replace battle
losses, but to add to the nations
striking power and push home the
