London - This Ia a story Of the French underground mad one of its heroic women. who for four years had but one Goal--to free France from Che yoke of the Nazi invaders.
 Four years Of occupation have brought sweeping changes in the life of every Frenchwoman. the majority Of whom have had to shoulder double responsibility = homekeeper and wage earner. Yet, many have also played a highly important part h the underground that has helped the Allies pene- trate further and further Into lib- erated France.
 Symbollcal of the recognized I'm. portance of the women of France beyond the hearth and workroom Is the appointment of Lucie Aubrac. the heroine of this tale. to the Consultative Assembly in AlgierS, the first French woman to occupy a governmental post. who was dele- gated by the united WALL" or French Resistance.
 Madame Aubrac and her hus- band were among those who. from the first. refused to accept capitu- latlon. For them. as for countless other French citizens. their war with Germany did not end in June l9s0. 1t went on inexorably.
 In normal times the world might never have heard of Madame Au- brac, wife Of a mining engineer. mother of a baby boy and a pro- lessor of history in one Of the great French schools. She. herself. would be the last to believe that she would

The girl was Lucie Aubrac herself. who was expecting her sec- and child.

 Oestapo agents made checks of all births in hospitals maternity homes. clinics and midwives with in a radius Of SO miles of her home town of Lyons. But the under. ground protects It's own and she and her husband and four.year-old boy were given refuge until arrange. ments were made to send her Co North Africa. via London. Within 36 hours after her arrival here. her second child was born. and she had begun her plans for joining her husband.
 Though Lucie Aubrac is no longer in France. there are thou sands of other courageous com patriots who will prove equally eager to help the Allied armies speed the complete liberation oi France and the day of victory.

When a Hollywood girl has a flawed complexion, studio make-up men use a technique of sharply de- lining her haiTline. lips, eyebrows and lashes which by contrast offset skin defects.
 Here are their tricks for you 10 use, if your skin isn't as perfect as you would like 1t to be.
 But before you begin tricks, do what experts do for heir elainor' Ous clients--'nake up your face 70 look as clean and fTesh-sksnned as a scrubbed baby'S. Then, 90 on from there and boldly redden your lips, darktn your eyebrows and starch up your lashes tone at a timel. By defnding these features and keeping outlines clean you'll flag eye away from your skin.

 The world championship Masters pair event, which will be held dur- ing the session Of the national tournament at the Hotel st0r. New York City, the week beginning July 90. will probably turn out record entry. The increasing number of tournaments conducted by the AIn- erican Contract Bridge League each year has more than doubled the list of eligible Masters. However. peculiar results occur even in this event.
 Here is an interesting hand recall from last year. By brilliant bidding and accurate play, Pvt, John R. Crawford of Philadelphia and Howard Schenken of New York won all the points on the hand. It was one Of the decisive hands that helped them in the championship.
 Mist West players could not find free bid" in response to East's double, but Crawford had no such trouble. Schenken jumped to the game. which most missed in the bidding. and others ln the play, South won the first trick with the diamond queen and returned the singleton club, Crawford wan with the ace. ruffed a diamond in dum- my, then laid down the ace and another spade, South won the see- 0nd spade and led the diamond king. Crawford did not run in dum- my. but discarded 2 club. and there was no further defense.

Treasury Islands

Treasury Islands, tiny isles of the
Solomons, are 20 miles south of
Bougainville and 300 miles southeast
of Rabaul. Principals of the group
are Mono and Stirling. They have
plentiful water and abound with
heavily-scented jungle flowers and
tropical birds. They were invaded
and quickly captured last October
by the Allies to whom they offered
good anchorages for further Pacific
operations. The natives are the
ebony-skinned Melanesians. The old
adage of the observers eye is given
veracity by reports over the years
Of traders and missionaries, on one
hand, that they are kindly, friendly
and generous and, on the other, by
the whalers and slave traders, that
the natives are treacherous.
