With a great deal of ingenuity, the lower floor has been transformed into a most interesting room. This floor has a large, dominating bar, with the wood stained to mahogany which helps to lend the appearance of Rathskeller effect. Interesting

BEAUTIES HINTS Plan Permanent Early And Avoid Vacation Rush
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Need a permanent? Thinking vaguely of getting one?
 Be a woman of decision and call up your beauty shop for a fu- ture date. That can be two, four six weeks in advance. If these we'll laid plans go awry you can always call up and cancel-a thoughtful consideration that will be appre- ciated these hectic days.
 If you don't make such plans early uou may have to get your permanent under conditions that will be trying both to you and to the operator Pre-vacation rush for permanents and the general business boom have doubled the load that the understaffed beauty shop carries.
 When the time comes to get your permanent fill your appointment promptly. To hold up an operator for just a few minutes may throw days schedule out of joint as well as force the operator to rush you through too fast. Being prompt will not assure you good permanent but 1t will permit Mrs. Whoosits to have hers at the appointed time. The chances are she needs one as badly as you do.

London Designers Challenge Paris Supremacy
ENGLISH IGNORE FRENCH TREND TOWARD FULLER
 SILHOUETTE, SHOW SIMPLE TAILORED COLLECTIONS
By ROSETTE HARGROVE NEA Stan Correspondent

PariS.-The supremacy of Paris as a world fashion center is being ctallenged-by London. British fashion designers and stylists are now In the process of preparing spring collections which will com pletely ignore the trends recently launched by the rue de la Paix and the Avenue Matignon. According to them, smart women in London and New York will wear much the same tailored suits and clothes of a straight, smart line that they have in the last few years.
 This is something in the nature of challenge. While admittedly neither present American nor British government restrictions would permit the extravagant yardage used in some of the mod els which the French creators showed in their alteration" col- lections, 1t would seem to any trained fashion observer that New York or London could not be completely impervious to some of the ideas which have enanated from Paris.
 The French themselves admit they had given way to a certain amount of creative exuberance, but they are most anxious that this should be interpreted merely as expressing their joy at being free again.
 There is here complete sympa- thy with and a perfect under standing of both the American and British point of view which is in- clined to resent the fact that the luxury industry of Paris emerges from four years of occupation practically unscathed. On the other hand, Paris points out, there was the necessity to preserve for France one of her most precious assets in the national economy. The apparently frivolous" angle was just another form of resist ance" to the occupier, and from the practical standpoint 1t did provide jobs for thousands of workers.
 There is almost as great fab- ric shortage for civilian purposes in France today as in Great Britain or America. The cou- turiers would be unable to repeat for export the majority of models they showed. In many cases, these were fashioned of prewar fabrics which had been hidden away from the Germans for the great day of liberation. Stocks of materials manufactured during the occupation are low and until transports are available for other than military or essential traffic, manufacturers in Lille and Rou-

ing performed today, where girl meets boy one day and marries him the next, or in the next week or two.
 When the marriages are in or der, they are legal, of course, but their legality is about all that diffeFentiates them from the mock marriages in which the four Nebraska girls were the victims.
 The hurry-up marriages be- tween two young folks who know no more about each other than that the girl is pretty and the boy looks nice in uniform have none of the attributes of marriage as we know marriage should be. Such spur-of- the moment weddings are shorn of practically everything a marriage should have at its begin ming
 NEED SECURITY PLUS
 The young people know nothing of each others background or char acter, know nothing of each others family, little of each others disposi- tion or tastes, and in most such marriages no thought is given to the future. They are marriages for today ' and tomorrow can take care of itself.
 That kind of marriage phil osophy isn't so hard on young man in war time. But his bride has everything to lose. For her 1t isn't much better than fake marriage. For women need more security in marriage than valid marriage cer- tificate, and when that is all they get they are being gypped
