Cream Is Poor
Powder Base

A lot of shiny noses and messy
make-ups are plights that could be
averted if women would not use
face cream as a powder base.
That's Hollywood's Perc West
more, studio makeup man, speak
ing, who explains that under stress
of exertion or emotion face creams
liquefy on the skin, wreck a make
up, or let loose a shine. They do,
according to our expert, because
they are created at a melting point
of body cleansing and lubbrication;
are not intended to be used as a
powder base.
Those creams or liquids that are
intended to be used as a powder
base, says Westmore, are so form
ulated that they can absorb oil eX-
cretions and a certain amount of
perSpiration. To use that kind is
to be safe against a streaked or
runny makeup or an overwhelming
shine

By Hope Ridines Miller

SAN FRANCISCO.-For years
|outlanders have poked fun at WASH
ington hostesses who bother about
where to place official guests at
dinner and who precedes whom into
the dining room. Capitalites here
for the United Nations Conference
are quietly chuckling among them
selves as Golden Gate hostesses
stew over similar problems. With
foreign and domestic dignitaries
jamming San Francisco down to the
seal rocks, every important dinner
draws a brace of international
celebrities, each one of whom must
be seated according to his rank.
The period of official mourning
curtailed formal fetes. Parties were
supposed to be limited to 20 guests,
and buffet suppers that pose no
problems of protocol dominated the
social calendar. Now, with the
mourning ban lifted, the city is
letting itself in for a gala round,
and women with top-ring dinners in
the of1ng are trembling in their
platform pumps. One, who hap
pened to have planned a party for
State Secretary Stettinius, Cana
dian Prime Minister Mackenzie
King, Mexican Foreign Minister
Ezequiel Padilla and British For
eign Minister Anthony Eden, fran
tically sought advice from a protocol
officer the other day. Along with
those notables she had invited a
couple of ambassadors and a half
dozen lesser diplomats and their
wives. Eden, of course, will sit at
my right" she said, "and probably
Stettinius at my left" mo, that
wasn't the way it worked, she was
told. Since she was brave enough
to invite the chairman of several
Evening star., 1945-05-20

delegations, she should seat them
alphabetically by the names OF ma
tions. King Of Canada should be at
her right? Padilla of Mexico to her
left. Eden Of the United Kingdom
should be on down the table, as
should Stettinius from the United
States. "As for the Others" said the
protocol of1lcer-but he didn't have
a chance to finish. Don't bother,
she said. N"I,l just have buffet
dinner-if Eden can't be on my
right"
AS you read this, I shall be back
in Washington, and the United Ma
tions Conference will be only a
memory to me. But, as I write in
the beehive that is the pressroom
Of the Veterans Building it is still
a colorful and impressive panorama
Of international faces, ambitions
and hopes. The reporter pounding
a typewriter next to mine has Just
described it as "a giant game in
which nations are matching wits
on board Of international differ
ences-a game in which every
player must be something of q
winner"
What the outcome Of that game
will be, nobody now knows
Whether the players will be able
to work out blueprint for world
security and permanent peace only
time will tell Anyway, watching
some of the participants for only
a brief time has been a wonderful
experience, and indelibly impressed
on my mind as I think back over
some of the moves and maneuvers
I have watched the past two weeks
