Before you chogse your sum- mer perfume, it's well to realize that perfumes made with natural flower oils have more lasting fragrances. Completely synthetic perfumes resemble the fresh flower odor closely, but don’t stay with you so long. That's the reason many women more for the real thing American women spent $8,500,000 on perfume iast year.

A Buyer's Test Here's a test you might use when buying ,perfume: Late the day put a different scent on each wrist and elbow. Then, pick the one that pleases you when you get’ up next morning. It's a wise plan not only because it checks on the lasting quality but also be- cause perfumes react differently on individual skins. How you wear your perfume is another thing to consider. Lots of women use it on their skin. Some trace the hairline with perfume or cologne because the 'warmth of the hair and skin bring out the full scent.

THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, MAY 21, 1940.! \GoldwynFilm Is To Close Here Tonight "They Shall Have Music” Ends at Capitol Theatre Samuel Goldwyn's “They Shall Have Music,” which ends tom"h( at the Capitol Theatre, is an ou'- t'standing motion picture, powerfully | enriched by the glorious music of Jascha Heifetz who makes his first | screen appearance. In addition, “They Shall Have Music” presents for the first time the unusually talented California Junior Sym-| phony Orchestra, an organization of juvenile prodigies, who are un- der the direction of Peter Merem- blum | The story of “They Shall Have | Music” is dramatically told, bril- | liantly directed and stirringly act- ed. The cast which is featured in support of Heifetz includes Andrea | Leeds, Walter Brennan, Joel Mec- | Crea, Gene Reynolds and Tommy Kelly. Brennan appears as the Professor of a Music Settlement School for underprivileged musi- cal prodigies, and turns in one of | the most moving and sensitive per- formances of his fine career. An- drea Leeds and McCrea, as the ro- mantic interest, are uniformly ex- cellent in their roles, and the chil- dren in the cast turn in top por- trayals. For this smooth and su- | perb direction credit goes to Archie Mayo, who staged the production with pace and effectiveness, Briefly sketched, the theme of “They Shall Have Musi¢” deals an impoverished settlement school in the slums. When the school reaches financial ruin, one of the pupils, played by Gene Rey- nolds, decides on a dramatic coup he tries to lure the great Hei- fetz to the school and to persuade the master musician to lend his patronage. Heifetz p! several of the world’s greatest masterpieces during the course of the film, and he also accompanies the young or- chestra, rubbing flower perfume into your ankles. If floral perfume doesn't seem quite enough for evening, the so- phisticates say try the light ori- entals. A French Tip A hint from the French: Per- fume the underside of the hem of your evening skirt so that the swish of the dress wafts frag- rance. Some smart women are spraying their flower hats with perfume, even in daytime. For a warm weather pick-up, wrap an ice cube in cleansing tis- sue and sprinkle a few drops of cologne on it. Then apply the icy fragrance to your brow and temple. --- NEW HOMES are willing' to pay| FHAPOLICY, | Construction Under Way, Now Tops 1939 Levels | By 15 Percent WASHINGTON, May 20, — More | than 40,000 new small homes have already been placed in construction under the FHA program thus far inl 1940, Federal Housing Administratot | Stewart McDonald announced. Complete statistics through Aprll 20 show that 38,743 new homes being financed under Title 11 of the Na- tional Housing Act had been started under FHA inspection up to that| time, Mr. McDonald said. With new construction started under the FHA program now aver- aging about 600 houses per working day, the total for the year to date is now well beyond the 40,000 mark. he pointed, out. . Up 15 Percent Over 1939 The 38,743 new homes started un- der FHA mspect.mn up to April 20 compare with 33, B;é started in the corresponding period of 1939, an in- crease of 15 percent, the Administra- tor disclosed. Most of these houses are small, single-family homes, he said. Mr, McDonald ' pointed out that the 40,000 total of new homes started under the FHA plan thus far this year, is particularly significant in view of the fact that January and February are always seasonal low months for new-home building and that unusually severe winter weather also hampered building activities in since early March, he continued. new homes started under FHA ins- pection have exceeded 3,000 each week and have surpassed the 1939 peak of 3,122 houses, reached in the week ended July 22 of that year.
