Shopping Trips Are Likely To Be Hunting Expeditions BY ANNE FRANCE WILSON NEA Service Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. — What will shopping be like in 1943? Well, no one knows all the answers, but sister, it seems unlikely that you’ll go shopping just for the fun of it any more. There’s a lot cooking in Wash ington with OPA and WPB orders that add up to one thing: Ameri can civilian economy will be cut to the bone. Displays, frills and special “services” in stores will fade away. Your shopping pal’s ecstatic: "My dear, it’s the cut est thing you ever saw—but, of course, completely impracticable” will sound , like Elizabethan Eng lish by the time the war is over. For one thing, you’re going to learn a lot about rationing. There’s no use evading the fact that before 1943 is over, every thing from a lamb chop to grand ma’s new chapeau will be ration tioned. This means, in many cases, that the whole process of shopping will have to change and Americans will have to learn a completely new method of evalu ating foods and other rationed goods. There will still be the old value of price in relation to qual ity. But there’ll be a brand-new kind of value, too—value in terms of ration book coupons. In’some ways, shopping will be a lot easier—for there’ll be grad ing and correct labeling on all ar ticles and fixed quality standards will be applied to goods at fixed prices. It will also be easier to make up your mind. In fact, it will largely be made up for you. There won’t be a dozen different, kinds of frying pans, for example, from which to choose. You’ll consider yourself lucky if you can find one — even ward to by the membership with much interest. He will speak on die different types of soil for Vic tory gardens. A meeting of the executive board has been called for 10:30 o’clock by the president, Mrs. A. H.

There’ll be fewer specialty shops and whole departments in some large stores will be reduced to one or two counters. This is because we’ve been living on the “fat” of reserve stocks, accumu lated during the pre-restriction days. That “fat” is just about eat en up and the lean days will soon be upon us. Hardware stores and toy shops will either close or switch to other merchandise using non-priority materials. The cafeteria type of shopping, where you collect your own merchandise without the help of salespeople, will become in creasingly popular because of growing man and woman power shortages. And you’ll be asked to carry home all purchases ex cept really heavy goods. The WPB is working on a new “Inventory Control” order which will mean much to the small town shopper. The Inventory Control order will make for wider and more even distribution of goods. How far it will go is unknown, but some of the large stocks held by big-time department stores may be reallocated so that the little shop owner will get a look in, as well. Add some of these factors up — and you get a pretty sad picture of shopping during 1943—without even thinking about the main spring of any shopping tour— money.

You name your skin-type and take your choice. For dry, sensitive skin, there’s an emulsified cleaning cream which lubricates as it cleans. This comes from a house which spe cializes in beauty aids for young girls. It should interest any woman who has a naturally dry skin that tends to flake and chap at the first winter breeze. The same house has a lighter cold cream cleanser—pink—for smooth normal or slightly oily skin, and still another quick-melting one for the person whose nose tends to the oily s'de. The house which features milk in its creams now has a sort of spectrum from which you choose your face powder and rouge color. It suggests that you find a pow der a shade or two livelier than your own skin: Peach or wheat for a paleface; apricot to invigo rate a dull or sallow cast; almond for the skin that flushes frequent ly. These are displayed in shaker top vials so you can try the colors on your own hand. Complexion creams by this maker are keyed to purpose rath er than skin type. There’s a cleans ing milk which removes makeup and serves as the gentlest of mask treatments. You put it on and let it set a moment, then rinse off with sponge or cloth and clear warm water. An emulsion is used to soften and protect the skin. A richer milk and emollient oil con coction is for over-night use to soften and condition the complex ion. A little of these fine anointers goes quite a distance—and should. Spreading your cream instead of just slapping and slathering it on is indicated. Remember, the mas saging you do as you spread with your fingertips is beneficial, too. * * * ‘Marriage Of Figaro’ Will Be Presented At High School January 19 The second in a series of three concerts to be presented by the Wilmington Co-Operative Concert association will be heard here on the evening of Tuesday, January 19, at 8:30 o’clock when Mozart’s1 “Marriage of Figaro” will be giv en by the Nine O’clock Opera com pany.

Accent On Romance Should Aid Drive To Recruit Student Nurses By RUTH MILLETT Nursing schools are having tough going trying to sign up enough student nurses to fill their 1942-43 quota of 55,000 beginning students. Given a notice between work Ruth Millett ing for nothing but board and room for three years while they get their train ing or going into a well-paid war job, many girls grab the war jobs. So the Nation al Nursing Coun cil for War Serv ice is trying to sell girls on the ad v a n tages oi ix aming i n c m selves for the profession of nurs ing. It is telling girls: Cl) That nursing can be a permanent ca reer. (2) That after the war there will be great opportunities for nurses to help handle “the vast problems of disease, malnu trition and war shock that will exist in devastated areas.” (3) That the future for nursing looks good since the number of people cared for in hospitals is on the increase. Lastly, the council tells girls that “nurses make notably capa ble and successful wives and mothers, and the marriage rate is high among nurses.” If the council really wants girls desperately it ought to base its campaign to interest girls in nursing on the last seven words quoted, “the marriage rate is high among nurses.” GROUNDLESS FEARS Perhaps it is afraid that if it bases its appeal on romance, it won’t attract anything but a bunch of silly, romantic girls. But if it knows what girls of 18 are like it will know that most all of them, smart and medium smart, pretty and homely, are in terested in marriage. They wouldn’t be normal 18 year-olds if that weren’t true. They are interested in earning money, of course. They are interested in serving their country, too. But ■ primarily and fundamental ly they know that their big job is getting themselves husbands. And they aren’t going to forget it while they are choosing a job. Modern Menus Kidneys Are Tasty, Non Rationed Dish BY MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staff Writer Learn to enjoy kidneys. Be fore the war, they were consid ered the connoisseur’s choice.

Chest Colds To Relieve Misery % #|£|#C Glamor Goes To The Head By BETTY CLARKE AP Beauty Editor 5 No need to let last year’s eve ning dress dim this year’s glamor. Party coiffures of 1943 are really something. Enough to turn any man’s head in your direction. It doesn’t matter much what you entwine in your hair, as long FUSS AND FEATHERS are okay for party coiffures. This one uses small sequin - studded ostrich plumes. as i’s decorative. A feather or two, a string of pearls will do, a bunch of fruit (artficial recom mended!,) a sprig of mistletoe, er mine tails, vari-colored bows, se quin buxxerflies or flowers—those are a few suggestions. Just a case of letting your imagination work. Perhaps you have a false hair piece that you haven’t bothered with because of lack of time for ordinary wear. Formal parties are special occasions, and since every girl spends more than the usual time on fixin’ up for ’em, it’s a good opportunity for you to get your money’s worth out of your switch. You can design a really original coiffure with a little extra fixin’ time. Wear a braided coronet, entwined with ribbon, or make a topknot coil with your false piece, sprinkle it with beads, and bring your own hair up in side pompa dours.
