Rose hampton, Leading Soprano
OF Metropolitan, To Sing Here

Rose hampton, leading sopra-o
OF the Metropolitan Opera associa-
ton, will sing in Wilmington next
Tuesday evening, January q, at
$50 o'clock in the auditorium OF
New Hanover High school as the
third in a series Of four outstand-
Ing attrac tions under the auspices
of the Wilmington Community Con-
cert association.
The series will close on April
3oth with Alexander Kipnis one Of
the worlds most famous bass bari
tones. Earlier in the season the
members enjoyed an evening OF
dance by Mariva Svetlova, premier
dancer of the Metropolitan ballet
and her supporting artists, and a
concert by Patricia Travers, bril-
liant young American violinist,
who is this season appearing on
some Of the largest radio and or
chestra programs in the country.
Unfortunately no tickets may be
sold to hear Miss hampton, as the
association concerts are always
given for members only, and tie
entire hall was subscribed to oe-
fore the series started. However,
al cards are transferable.
As Miss hampton is quite IA
vorite among music lovers, who
have had many opportunities to
hear her over the radio, both 10
onera and concert, her appearance
here is very eagerly anticipated.
Miss hampton received her early
musical education in Cleveland
and Buffalo and later graduated
from the Curtis Institute, Philadel-
phia. She soon attracted wide at
tention when she appeared as So
loist with the Philadelphia Orches
ira under the direction Of Leopold

United Press Staff Correspondent:
NEW YORK, Jan. 16 - The U.
S. government has decided Off
cially that women's rayon night.
gowns are non--essential.
In an order labeled M-32s the
Civilian Production Administration
declared that sheer feminine sleep
ing attire could be sacrificed dur.
ing the current American clothing
crisis.
Order, M-s28 Is the new textile,
clothing and leather priority list
for manufacturers.
Nightgowns of cotton lawn, print
or outing flannel are still legal,
but not rayon. And as far as the
majority Of women are concerned,
nightgowns are made from rayon
or not at all.
The action has brought smpha-
tic protest.
"Rather grim,' said Emily Hahn,
well-known author who was on a
honeymoon only few weeks ago.
"A very serious thing" said
Wilma Allen, bridal consultant for
one of New York's most exclusive
stores.
Brides seeking an alluring trous-
seau and their spokeswomen con-
tended that they are being dis
eliminated against by the govern
ment.
Wedding gown designer Jose
phine Orc asserted that lovely
nighties were just as important to
bride as a beautiful dress.
'.They are absolutely essential
to allure she said. "And they
help an awfully lot to hold a man,
That's essential, don't you think?"
While turning thumbs down on
allure, the government did not
entirely overlook the feminine
sleeping wardrobe. 1t permitted
manufa cturers to make cotton
nightgowns and pajamas with or
without feet) of lawn, print cloth
and outing flannel.

this government concession.
IF anything is non-essential, it
would be cotton nightgowns," said
Miss Hahn.
While the CPB is busy settling
priorities, stylists are designing
the most feminine and luxurious
nightgowns shown in many a sea-
son. .-.-.-.
The firm Of Yolande is showing
gown for brides in white rayon
satin, with tiny empire puff
sleeves and a low square neckline,
embroidered in hearts and cupids.
The skirt of the gown is slit IN
