C The Evening Story: Then And Now By DOROTHY ROE The dignified dowagers of 50 years ago would be shocked in deed if they could look in on an audience at New York’s Metropol- > ■ itan Opera today. ! A short dress at the opera? Ab- |i surd! Black ties? Shocking! A hat with an evening dress? Who ever j; heard of such a thing? They took their opera gowns se-g riously back in the early days of j; the Diamond Horseshoe. As much g as 30 yards of heavy silk brocade ; sometimes went into one of these : dazzling whalebonea gowns. Jew-1 els were just as heavy and opulent g with diamond tiaras, necklaces g and stomachers all over the place, g Today the evening fashion—ev-1 en for the opera — is short, slim, | sweet and low. Narrow sheaths of | black satin or crepe, ending just | below the knees and cut as low I on top as the law allows, are worn | with small glittering evening hats f or headdresses. Jewels, too, are g discreet—a pair of diamond clips S at the neckline, perhaps a narrow g braclet, or small earrings. These are the after-dark clothes | you see these days at the theater, I .! smart cafes—even at the opera. g mull mil ..will mm..... I —is ts an opera gown worn 50 years ago by Mrs. Adrian Iseiin and now the proper, • of the Museum of the City of New York. The dia mond and neari fringe necklace was typical of __ ‘be '30's. Bracelets were worn outside gloves. 1943: Short and Low — that’s the new evening story. Rose Barrack designed this deep blue satin gown with flattering oval neckline and slim lines. With it are worn twin flower clips of gold and diamonds, a head scarf and a big red rose. Notes On Scarcities Of Work Shirts, Onions, Cranberries and Men's Socks Bv ANN STEVICK WASHINGTON Dec. 15.—Shirts for America's millions working ir ,var factories will be the first step n the forthcoming program foi □reduction of low-cost textile ^cods. In a few days an order will be >ut on productirn of the sturdy abrics which go into work shirts, ’t is probable that manufacturers will be given quotas to keep up heir production of these fabrics o their former percentages a1 east. Specifications on stitching, cut, :nd amount of '-loth which are al eadv in effect on work clothes .’ :I] be tied up with new ceiling trices. It shouid not be too many months before you see these new utility shirts at reasonable prices STRONG FARE Our armed forces are marching m huge quantities of onions, -.mong other things. The large de M M 4 • » i |mand rather than small supply is responsible for the present short age of onions, according to the | U. S. Department of Agriculture. The armed forces use lots of on ions, especially dehydrated ones, j Usually in an onion shortage, the ' cook could shift to garlic for sea soning, but this year's garlic crop vvas short. Onion and garlic salts aiso will be short. You may have i to do with less seasoning in the I Christmas turkey dressing. Celery j salt supplies happen to be large j because ample celery seed is com jirg from India. | SHORT SOCKS Now that a satisfactory method : has been worked out to use syn | f.ietic rubber yarns for knit-in gar j ters in socks, the hosiery commit j tee of the War Production Board j reports that it is impossible to get : cctton yarn to wrap it. So that : bottleneck will have to be broken before you see the new socks. Another problem in the hosiery industry, officials say, is that of getting the heavy type yarns for men's work socks. WPB is busy finding a yarn supply to ward off the threatened shortage. ODDS AND ENDS New metals are available to makers of baking pans and clothes hangers. . No strings of either pcpcorn or cranberries this year, for both are short crpps. You won't find much cranberry jelly m glass or tin this year. * * * Woman’s College Yule Holidays Thursday, To Last Until January 5 GREENSBORO, Dec. 16 — Stu dents of the Woman’s College will leave tomorrow and Friday for the Christmas holidays, and will resume class work on January 5 ard 6.

It can conceal blemishes, protect skin against the elements, give a youthful glow to the com plexion and act as a constant lu bricant—that is, if you select the -right one for your particular skin texture. Never, for instance, use a wei cake foundation if your skin has a tendency to be dry, for it will drain it of its precious moisture give it a parched, coarse look, Rather, select one into which del icate, rich oils have been beaten, so that the foundation cream car constantly lubricate the dry areas where crepiness forms. And a word of warning. Applj just a film of the foundation. A too-heavy coat will rob your face of expression, makes you look ages older.
