PETERSBURG,, Fla., Jan. 16_(AP)— You don’t go to realN es tate circles here to learn ..how acute the housinge shortage is — you go to the police station. Finding a roof to get under for the night has become so difficult that for thresh., nights last week three very respectable retired men. who came nefS .for vacations oc cupied steel bunks in-a vacant cell block of city jail. One stylishly-dressed woman, carrying an immaculate poodle, walked into headquarters and in quired: : “Where can I get a room m this town? I’ve tried everywhere.” The obliging sergeant made the usual round of calls to hotels and apartments, then offered the ‘‘last resort.” Hie woman spent the night curled up on a hard bench in the munici pal court room which adjoins head quarters. Her poodle snoozed in a witness chair. HANDS OFF HANOI, Indochina, Jan. 16—(A1) —Lt. Gen.

Rate With Your Date --■■ k By BETTY CLARKE AP Newsfeatures Beauty Editor Young girls this season are striv ing for that vital, healthy look. Youth must look wholesome and the effect can’t be achieved with a face that looks as if it fell in a flour barrel or one that has layers and layers of cake makeup plaster ed on it. If you want a strawberry-and cream complexion and can’t achieve that radiant glow by good living and proper diet, then per haps you do need a little makeup. But make it light. A strawberry shade should please the blonde, brunette or redhead. And if a rich, creamy beige shade of face powder is used the makeup job will look more natural. There are tricks that can make a made-up face look unmade up. There is one simple one that mod els use to make their complexions look pretty. This method of ap plying makeup requires a little patience but it is worth it in the long run. The skin is “iced” first. This is done by taking some ice and put ting it in a smooth towel and rub biffg it across the skin. Or, if you prefer, you can dip your towel in ice water and rub it across the face until your skin glows. Now you can apply a light foundation lotion, if you like. Take your sthawberry-shade rouge and apply it in the three-dot method on the cheekbones and rub it up and out to the corner of the eye. Outline your lips and apply your lipstick next. Now you are ready for powder. When you apply / “r powder be sure to dust it on in stead of rubbing it. Then take a clean piece of cotton and orusn .the excess off. Dip another piece of cotton in skin lotion or freshen er and brush lightly over the face. Blot with tissue. Now you are ready for your final powdering which should complete- the job. Powder in the same way as before. Smack your lips to remove excess powder from lipstick. This method of making up, if done properly, will make your complexion look natural. If you use an eyebrow pencil, you should —WMC—P l ii »■ .* - A STRAWBERRY AND CREAM complexion can be achieved with makeup properly applied. apply that at tne same time as the rouge. Mascara is always ap plied' last. Don’t ship your neck when pow dering and if you are going to wear an evening dress, make sure your shoulders get a good powder ing too. You’ll need a foundation lotion on your neck and shoulders to hold the powder. A teen-age girl shouldn’t require eye-shadow or false eye-lashes. A little mascara won’t hurt if pro perly applied but if sloppily han dled, it will ruin an otherwise per fect makeup job.

The writer says that when she arranged her gray hair neatly and went job Hunting she was told everywhere that she was too old Whereupon she decided that a1 least one group of women—those working for a living—couldn’t af ford to be frank about their ages. If the war didn’t teach employ ers a new respect for their oldei women employers—and older men, too—they will never be able tc see their superior qualities. For during the war these workers stood out markedly. Walk into a store and the clerks were usually either very young girls or gray-haired women. Some of the young girls were courteous, but all too often they were in a corner talking over last night’s dates. And they looked insulted if they were interrupted by a customer. OLDER WOMEN COURTEOUS If your purchase was important to you, you found yourself looking for an older woman. For usually the older woman was smiling, courteous and anxious to please. She had grown up in an age where “thank you” was an importan part of a business transaction.
