Christmas Cosmetics, In Simpler Dress, Remain Gifts of Beauty
By ALICIA HART (NEA Stan Writer)

Christmas cosmetics counters will be piled about as high as ever this year, but there vii be far fewer packagings and gadgety gift items on display.
 For, in the last year, cosmetic companies have been rationing themselves on cardboard and fancy paper, and glass companies and box manufacturers have turned their talents to making radar tubes and cartons for K rations
 There are enough surprises though, to make this Christmas a merry one, and about the most cheerful looking and least eXpen- sive of them is the makeup set stimulating a holly-decorated white colonial door, tagged with an in vitation to "Open the door-and look in" Those who do will find a luscious lipstick, petite rouge compact and a box ob face powder.
 A Jack-in-the- box inspired an- other. aise the lid, and up pops a bright green cardboard Christ mas tree trimmed with a purse size bottle of perfume and small Iipstick in an enameled metal case The stand for the tree is a flower decorated box of powder
 The voluminous and very new looking straphanger shoulder bag can now double as an overnight case, for it has been equipped by one house with complet 24-hour st of cosmetics. Made of black or brown felt with contrasting colored lining and shoulder strap, there are little holders around the bottom of the bag for lipstick, rouge. powder, fluid foundation, essential cream and freshener.
 Prettiest of the new perfume en- sembles is a real wicker flower basket loaded with lily -of-the- valley perfume, toilet water and tale, tied up with lavish bows of blue or pink ribbon. It will give the final fem mine touch to any bathroom or boudoir.
 One gift-and it's suitable for a man, too-iS a fragrant wall per- fume container which dispels dank- ness in closets, attic or cellar, and gives your home just the most subtle hint of mountain pine, san- dalwood, lavender or whatever scent you prefer.

Whatever the cause, you can mas sage your fingers back to that tap cred look, says radio star Fran Carlon of the popular OBS Big Town" dramatic series, by making a habit of pulling at them when ever you have spare time.
 Fran, who won her first screen part because a famous film pro- ducer admired her expressive, love- ly hands, has a few handles which she does to guarantee her winning more parts and influencing more producers.
 First, she keeps her wrists flex- ible, by shaking out stiffness and turning her hands in circles both to the left and right.
 In picking up small articles, Fran grasps them with her middle finger and thumb. This, she finds, is not only the most functional brace, but the most graceful, for 1t arches the hand prettily.
 Gestures with the hands are one of the most important means an actress has for expression. But, Earn cautions use them sparingly and intelligently. Practice them before mirror at home before you try them out on your friends.

, er followed it. Then four more. At
last the car in which he sat fell in
line behind them. Back of him he
heard other cars pulling out from
the curb, with throbbing motors
and shrieking sirens. He looked at
the passing buildings out of the side
window, but could not recognize any
familiar landmarks. To each side
of him were peering white faces
with open mouths. Soon, however,
he knew that he was heading
southwark. The siren screamed so
loud that he seemed to be riding a
wave of sound. The cars swerved
onto State Street. At Thirty-fifth
Street the neighborhood became
familiar. At thirty street
he knew that two blocks to his left
was his home. What were his moth
err and brother and sister doing
now? And where were Jack and G..
H. and Gus? The rubber tires sang
over the flat asphalt. There was a
policeman at every corner, waving
the cars on. Where were they TAX
ing him. Maybe they were going to
keep him in jail on the South Side?
Maybe they were taking him to the
Hyde Park Police Station? They
reached Forty-seventh street and
rolled eastward toward Cottage
Grove Avenue. They came to Drex-
ell Boulevard and rolled north
again. He stiffened and leaned for
ward. MIR. Dalton lived on this
street. What were they going to do
with him? The cars slowed and
stopped directly in front If the
Dalton gate. What were they
bringing him here for? He looked
at the big brick house, drenched in
sunshine, still, quiet. He looked in
to the faces of the two policemen
who sat to either side of him; they
were staring silently ahead. Upon
the sidewalks, to the front and rear
of him were long lines of policemen
with drawn guns. White faces fill
ed the apartment windows all round
him. People were pouring cut of
doors, running toward the Dalton
home. A policeman with a golden
star upon his chest came to the
door of the car, opened it, glanced
at him briefly, then turned TO the
driver
20. K boys, take i'm out"
They led him to the curb. Already
solidly packed crowd stood all
over the sidewalks, the streets, on
lawns, and behind the lines of the
policemen. He heard a white boy
yell:
There's the M that killed
Miss Mary!'
They led him through the gate,
down the walk, up the steps; he
stood a second facing the front
door of the Dalton home, the same
door before which he had stood SO

documented in a new publication
entitled rs Years of Freedom; Com
memoration of the 18th Anniver-
Sary of the Proclamation of the 18th
Amendment to the Constitution of

The book, which has been over
two years in preparation, contains
an extensive selective photography,
based upon the series of exhibits
and concerts held in the. Library

Is, 1910, the 18th anniversary Of
the proclamation of the Amend
ment which ended slavery.
Like the original music festival
and the exhibitions of Negro art,
books and manuscripts which pro-
vide it's substance, rs Years of
Freedom is the product of the COM
bined efforts of many prominent
authorities, Negro and white.
The section devoted to Negro mu-
sic. contains critical articles ON

songs, reels and work songs, by
such scholars and folklorists as DR..

ry. The section on the exhibit of
graphic art contains an introduc-
ton by Alonzo j. Alden, Curator of
the Howard University Gallery of
Art, and is Illustrated in color.
The final section dealing with the
exhibit of books, manuscripts,
broadsides, music, portraits, and
other illustrative materials COM
prises more than half the volume
and is divided into seventeen parts
dealing with the role of the Ameri-
can Negro in drama, education.
history, music, literature, religion,
science and invention, sports and
athletics, the social sciences, etc.
The largest portion is devoted to
historical materials dealing with
the anti-slavery movement. Begin
ming with John Quincy Adams ar
gument before the Supreme Court
indicating the right to freedom of
SO Negroes who had been taken
captive at sea in the schooner,
Amistad, the Librarys volume lists,
and gives a full photographed de-

of the Anti-Slavery Convention of
American Women held in New York
