NEWEST PICKUP-A delicious
new chocolate-favored milk drink
was recently introduced at a pre-
view gathering for members of the
press and radio. The very next day
it made its bow to Washington con-
sumers through one of the local
stores. 1t is said this new pow
dered substance contains vitamins
A, B1, B2 and D, along with the
important minerals iron, calcium,
phosphorus and vital niacin. Adults
as well as children will love the
flavor, for it smells and tastes ex-
actly like a candy roll the majority
of us liked so well when we were
youngsters. 1t does not require any
additional flavoring. Just mix two
teaspoons of the milk fortifier with
sufficient milk to make a smooth
paste, then fill the glass with milk
and stir vigorously. Besides being
the means of an excellent pick
up" drink this product can be used
in making many tasty recipes.

Advises

whether or not to ask to be
after sneezing, depends upon
what is the least noticeable thing
to do. A very real cause for annov-
ance is the calling of needless atten-
ton to a sneeze or a cough which
OF itself would be noticed by no one.
But IN answer to the reader who
asks when to excuse oneself. and
when not, the rules are these IF
you yourself are speaking, and your
Sneeze or cough interrupts what YOU
are saying, you say, I'm sorry" or
Excuse me" and go on as soon as
you can. But if someone else is
speaking and your muff1ed sneeze or
cough causes no interruption. it is
best manners tbecauSe pleasanter
for others TO say nothing. For ex-
ample-We all know the ANNOYANCE
caused by the courteously inten-
toned radio broadcaSters who ask
your pardon for a sound that YOU
haven't even heard-and who there
fore deliberately draw attention to
the fact that they are at that
moment breaking In on the con-
tinuity.

Dorothy Dix Says

I have long contended that the
great need Of this country was not
for a good scent cigar, as Vice Pres
ident Marshall said, but for trial
divorces, and the war is furnishing
a shining example of the truth of
this theory by bolstering up thou
sands of tottering marriages that
were on the verge of collapse
And If anything could mitigate the
horrors of war it is this, for more
homes are sabotaged by husbands
and wives than are wrecked by the
enemy in blitZkreigs and anything
that can save this tragedy and keep
little children from being half
orphaned is blessing however dis
IguiSed.
This curious service the war is
performing for thousands upon
thousands of disgruntled married
couples whose romance had petered
out and who thought that their love
was dead. They bored each other
to tears, and their only conversation
was series of cat and dog fights.
They had gotten on each others
nerves, SO that the way that John
ate made Mary want to scream, and
John felt that if Mary told him
once more about what mother said
he would take the carving knife to
her
And both had found the other
woman or the other man who, they
were sure, had none of the peculi-
arities of their present mates. And
both were secretely dreaming of
Reno and decree absolute.
Came then the war, as the movies
say, and the husband was indicted
into the service And the old miracle
of blessings Frightening as they fade
began to work itself on both of them
The home that the husband had
dreaded to come back to at night
became the one place on earth he
longed to be most His wife was no
longer fat, middle-aged woman
lShe was his hearts desire He for
got her nagging and remembered
only how she had nursed him when
he was sick, and how she had stood
| by him through thick and thin In
| all his struggles, and was the one
person in the world whom he could
| absolutely trust

husband hadn't even gotten to his
training base before she began to
miss him and feel that life was Gin
ders, ashes and dust without him,
and wonder why she had ever OBJ
jected to his scattering cigarette
ashes and papers all over the house,
or why she had ever taken his
grumbling seriously. His absence
turned him into a glamour boy
again and made her see him through
rose-colored spectacles in which she
beheld only how good and kind he
was and how comfortable he made
her, and made her blind to all of
his irritating little ways.
Temporary separation is the shot
IN the arm that many a marriage
needs to bring it back to life when
1t is about to die of anemia, and this
treatment the war is administering
to many husbands and wives who
thought they had fallen out of love
with each other. And this remedy
would be equally effective in times
OF peace if it took the form of the
trial divorce. For somehow marriage
seems to agree with us best when
we take it in broken doses.

Here Comes the Bride!
BY Evelyn Hayes

The day of the colorless Camille
beauty Is over and even cover girls
wear rouge these days because they
know that it makes their eyes
sparkle more brightly. Be sure,
though, that you apply blush, not
three-alarm flush, and that you
put it where your natural coloring
would be. Otherwise, under the
strain of excitement, your rouge may
stand out in spots like the chorus in
"Chauve Souris," where, you may
remember, in the march Of the
wooden dolls, each had circle of
rouge right in the middle of each
cheek.
Next step is to dust all with pow
der. Press the powder on, then
smooth away the surplus with the
same puff. Powder your lips, too,
If you want to apply the 1ipstick 50
you won't ruin your bridegroom's
composure when you kiss him.
After you have powdered your
mouth, apply lipstick, perfecting the
outlines with a brush, blotting with
tissue after five to ten minutes.
Another uncover with powder
ightly-moisten- both you and
your makeup will be set.
Last Of all is your eye makeup
which you might apply while let
ting your lipstick dry. There are
those who think it better for brides
to eschew shadow in favor of glis-
tening eye cream. On the other
hand, there are others Eye ed.
among them) who like happy
combination Of the two. Naturally,
we don't suggest trying your hand
for the first time if you're not ac-
customed to using eye shadow, but
If you're good at gliding the orbs,
go right ahead. The main thing Is
to apply it skillfIlly and sparingly
so that the effect will be natural
and fresh looking. And finally
when you're all ready, add a touch
of perfume, perhaps a very special
one blended in the French ira
dition "a scent that has great
body" and delicate bouquet that
is as romantic gay and appealing
as the laughter of beautiful bride.
Evening star., 1944-05-16

II you're planning romantic
march down the aisle, you want to
be sure you look your best-that
you1l leave in your wake a chorus
of "Ah's." Too often girls spend
their all on a magnificent gown,
veil and the works, only to overlook
the most important feature of all
their makeup. Most of us key our
cosmetic colors to the dark or bright
shades we usually wear, but the
makeup required for white Is en-
tirely different. OF course, every
body loves bride, but one of the
cosmetic houses loves her so much
that it has brought out special
bridal makeup to help her look her
beautiful best on the Big Day.
For the fair, blue-eyed blond
there's a liquid foundation to be
worn with one of four powder tones,
all color-keyed to white. They are
pinkish and delicate, varying
slightly in hue, and for each there
is matching rouge and lipstick
The blond with sallow skin, on the
other hand, requires roster tones
than the delicate pink of her fairer
sister She often has hazel eyes
and must avoid any mixtures with
yellow lest she look more sulphuric
than celestial.
Dark hair, blue eyes and fair skin
add up to the colleen-type brunette
who needs a creamy makeup. while
for the brunette with brown eyes
and olive skin there are cosmetic
colors to brighten rather than
darken, Whiten or match her skin.
The tones for the redhead are
creamier, too, and she must avoid
anything with pink-which holds
for both the blue-eyed and brown
eyed type.
To start, you'll want a liquid
foundation to give your skin a heart
catching beautiful transparency
such foundation as is included In
the special bridal makeup we men
toned. Then you add the blush to
the rose, at which point we'd like to
interpolate note of warning. Even
If you don't ordinarily wear rouge,
on your wedding day you'll need it.
