BEAUTIES HINTS
 Foundation Masks Nervous Strain
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

June bride? If you think the march to the altar is going to be a nervous strain, which may be in tensied by warm weather, plan to wear a makeup to mask face that blanches and flies lonely flag Of lipstick color.
 Blessed mask for a pallor that may send your bridegroom fleeing from the altar in quest of smelling salts are a rosy foundation and a matching powder. If your own color deserts you, this one will stick with you.
 If you're the kind of a girl who turns a lobster pink under stress of nervous strain, the way to avoid this casualty is to wear skin--tone powder into which is sifted a bit of green or lavender dust.
 A bride-to-be who has very req son to believe she needs this color check should have a powder blended for her at a counter where such mixtures are concocoted to suit her needs.

end OF all footwear rationing early
next year.
The OPA is planning to remove
temporarily from rationing a wide
variety Of shoes retailing for $3.50
or less a pair.
These plans became known as a
War Production Board official pre-
dc sd that shoe rationing probab-
ly will end altogether early in 1916.
'Tf japan surrenders sooner, shoe
rationing will go out the window
shortly after VI Day" said this
official, who asked that his name

Deep cuts in military require
ments are the basis for the optl-
mistic forecast, the official explain
ed, adding that 1t seems logical"
that the Army and Navy shoe needs
may be trimmed again before the
year is over.
At the same time he termed too
rosy a report by the trade paper
National Footwear News that ra-
tioning might be lifted in two or
three months"

The accosted vessel was clearly

There we're approximately 1900
men aboard listed as patients.
When bandages were removed from
some OF them no wounds were

The ships route was not dis

400 miles north Of Australia. The
area is filled with small and large
islands, mostly Dutch, which have
been occupied by the Japanese
since the fall OF the Netherlands
