The Christmas cosmetic package this year will be more cherished for its contents and the label that signifies quality than for its out side wrapping which has been stripped of much of it's splendor by wartime shortages.
 So bad, in fact, is the wrapping situation that you may be asked to take your Christmas cosmetic package out of the store without any kind of dress.
 Hard hit by all kinds of short- ages in materials and labor, cos- metic firms feel fortunate that they can still offer good staple products, along with g few sur prise novelties.
 To charm Christmas shoppers in quest of surprises are new per- fumes many in beautiful bottles and some set on Swank ldcite platformS-and that once elusive thing, an alcohol-base cologne in popular and exclusive fragrances which is always one of the nicer of inexpensive gifts. Put out for Christmas is cologne in large candlestick spiral bottle with a flame top, which matches fra grance and container of an exclu- sive perfume.
 
 New are gifts featuring the vic- torian motif, which always has charm, and there's lot of 1t in miniature chairs, love seats and Ottomans bearing sachet-a dry perfume that's very popular this Christnas-and new makeup ensemble of powder and lipstick which comes in a red plush chair.

BEAUTIES HINTS Don't Neglect Beauty Rites Even Though He Isn't Here

She's the kind of a girl who would curl her hair and wear hp- stick even in the jungles!' You've perhaps used those very words to describe some woman whose im- maculate appearance you admired
 Now that some girls have a ten dency to let go, because the incen- tive to keep up-a husbands away at war, it's pertinent to cite lady explorer who did keep up appearances in the jungles-and on a canibal hunt which lasted four years.
 I cite Americas first lady of ex- ploration, Osa Johnson, whose re- cent book, Bride of the Solomons, !" is an account of this famous safari. But what clinches our point is that, though miles from civilization and lacking the usual incentive and com- fortable equipment, this pretty eX- plorer washed her hair-long enough to sit upon-in occoanut oil when there was no soap, put curl into it, wore lipstick (which she car- ried with her in metal pot) every day, and creamed her face every night.

Go north, young woman, if you want postwar part in a lively frontier, where there's a chance for women to be leaders. And Alaska is a bonanza if your ego needs litle boost, for the farther north you push the fewer women there are and the more glamorous you become. That's Ruth Gruber talking, Department of Interior Field Representative for Alaska, who after two years there doing research and travelling as basic training for her job, thinks it's 8 Woman'S Country.
 Miss Gruber's runner-up to her boss, Secretary Harold Ickes, in the number of varied jobs she can swing and can outdo him a good bit in brunette beauty and radiant smile. At 20 she was the youngest Doctor of Philosophy in the world. To- day, at g, she's an outstanding ex- plorer, reporter, research worker and author.

T knew that I could not learn much about nursing in the short time had to prepare, but the doc tor assured me that a home nurs- ing course would give me the funda- mental training I would need to insure my mothers safety, at least"
 So Miss Maggie started to school all over again. She had a real project to work on-a patient whom she expected to take care of for a long period. The patient would come home with her hip in a plaster cast. Miss Maggie wanted to know how to bathe her in bed without disturbing the healing process. She had to know how to manipulate a bed pan, how to change the bed with her mother in it, how to prevent bed- sores.

ALASKA IS LAND OF OPPORTUNITY
 FOR WOMEN, SAYS GIRL PIONEER

hundreds of letters every month from prospective pioneers teachef nurse, scientists, beauty operat0rS and cooks, tells them that there hard work to be done in . frontier country, but it's not all work and no play by any means. Alaskans go in for lot of sociable getting together, and there are probably more clubs per capita than any place else in the world.
 As Secretary Ickes' right-hand woman on Alaskan affairs, she answers queries on Alaska from service men and women all over the world, as well as the honlefolks. and carries on one-womai1 circuit of talks and illustrated lectures on Alaska throughout the country. But she hasn't been too busy to watch out for the refugee colony of 1000 at OSwego, N. Y, whom she took under her wing on the boat trip from Italy to New York last Aug ust. She's pleased with the results of the simple lessons in American living which she and the boats of ficers started en route. In three months, the four national groups Yugoslavs, Austrians, Germans. Poles, and fifth group made up of Greeks, Czechs, Belgians, French and others-have decided on their own to vote for their council as one, instead of dividing up into separate groups to elect members. It's given her as bright hope for the future of the world as she has for Alaska.

Most bridge players will open the king of diamonds on this hand, and I think it is the only lead you can select. You figure that this opening will establish the queen of diamonds to cash when you get in with the ace of hearts. However, it does not work out that way here. With the king of diamonds opening. South makes Seven-odd. He can pick up the trumps. discard his losing heart on a good club, and ruff out the hearts. But, while the ace of hearts opening would have saved a trick, I still think that the major ity of good players would open the king of diamonds.

She was clever at changing orange crates and cardboard boxes into useful sickroom articles such as backrest and bed table, and she learned to transfer much more of her knowledge of kindergarten methods to a convalescent's advan- tage.

One of the most perplexing prob lens in bridge is the opening lead, despite the fact that there are many stadnard openings. If South were playing a contract of seven spades on today's hand, West would lay down the ace of hearts. But the contract is only six spades, and you want to defeat it.
