It should in- clude needles and thread, a tiny sponge for dusty suede shoes, a small clothes brush, an extra. pair| of stockings, a clean hanky, and of course your makeup needs. (You can fill small cream jars from your| big, economy sizes at home, as a penny-saver.) Equipped like this, you can go| through practically all the beauty| tricks you would normally do - at home. Your first step is to cleanse your face thoroughly. It's relaxing, and besides there’s trouble ahead if you try to put fresh makeup on a dirty face. To refresh yourself, take time for a quick facial mask at this point. A thick layer of vanishing cream spread on face and throat| | will perk you up in one minute flat. | Then tissue most of it off, leaving | a tiny bit of the cream as a,ram-‘ dation for your makeup. i There's an art in applying even- | ing makeup, and you can take a; few liberties you might not bother | {with lqr your office face. Eye make- up, for example, brightens up a| \tired face like nothing else. Apply eyeshadow lightly to the upper lids.

MAY DAY TEA 'PUBLIC SCHOOL I Still Fighting Fighting continued throughout the moonlit night as tanks and ar- tillery bolstered the British stand. The Americans are reported to have made gains through a difficult terrain in the north and with bit- ter struggles. Heavy fighting was reported in the area west of Jefna, bald hill 28 miles southwest of Bizerte. Enemy troops facing thé Amer- icans and British First Army now are composed entirely of German units. Montgomery’s Eighth Army is re- ported advancing along the coast toward Bou Ficha, and to have gained seven more miles. R SATURDAY AT M.E.

Ickes, Fisheries| Coordinator, is dark red and las&es} comething like beef. To help meet the demand a whal-| ing shore station is being estab-| lished in California and three boats will supply it with whales. The whale, largest of all animals, is a mammal and as such has warm red blood and produces liv- ing young. The ilesh is said to be wholesome when properly handled and does not have the fishy t that makes seal meat unpalatable. Housewives will probably be glad to try it since no rationing coupons will be necessary.
