Futuristic Fashion Art Goes to the Head
By DOROTHY ROE
fAociatl Prexj Fih:on Editor)
New York Looking ahead to the rocket age, Lilly Dache pre
sents "futurist fashions" for 1950.
Hats that would be equally at home on a stratocruiser or at a
. Broadway first night are featured in her fall and winter collec
tion, together with a new idea bound for wide acceptance by
theater-goers and riders in open"
cars, mis is a "late nei wnicn
covers the hair, shadows the
eyes and is worn beneath the hat.
i When a lady is asked to remove
her hat in the theater, explains
Lilly, she reveals a perfect coif
fure held snugly in place by the
s "face net," which often has a
small jewel or flower decoration
1 of its own, for decorative effect.
Girls who like to ride in con
vertibles with the top down also
will find the new net a boon,
not only to comfort but also to
; allure. It avoids the usual "burst
mattress" look of windblown
hair and gives a sleek, well
groomed and strictly sophisticat
ed air to the wearer.
Mmc. Dache likes little eve
ning hats in pillbox shape, made
entirely of pearls or rhinestones,
with perhaps a yard or so of per
pendicular feather. It's fun,
points out the designer, to wear
one of these towering creations
to the theater, observe the con
sternation of the people in back
of you and note their relief when
you remove it to reveal the flat
tering and unobtrusive net be
neath. Also adapted to interplanetary
wear are her new coronets' and
tiaras of lacquered human hair,
and her sweeping angled hats
which clasp the back of the head
and jut forward in swirls or
angles which manage somehow
to look exactly right.

Ancient Beauty Secrets of Egypt
Could Give Tip to Miss America
By ISIS RAGHEB
(AP NfwsfcaturMl
Cairo Miss America could learn a makeup trick or two from
the ancient beauty secrets of Egypt.
Cosmetics were widely used here 1,500 years before Christ.
Kven today Egyptian women are credited with more effective eye
makeup than their sisters over the world.
Here are a few Egyptians
beauty secrets. They take a
good deal of work but, after 34
centuries, Egyptian beauties
still believe them worth the ef
fort. Kohl, an eye make up so ef
fective the ancient Egyptian
queens had it buried with them
for use in the aftcrworld, Is
worn by 90 per cent of modern
Egyptian women.
It is a black, soot-like pow
der. Special shops sell it on
famed Khan Khalil street In
Cario's Mouski bazaar. Beauty
hops abroad stock it.
Kohl i made by burning thin
ttrips of cotton dipped in cas
tor oil. A smooth, concave plate
is held over the fire to collect
the soot. Then the soot is mix
ed with ground kohl stone,
placed in a special container
Egyptians call a "makhala" and
locked tight by a cover whose
needle-like edge is saturated
with the odorless, fast kohl dye.
You apply kohl by carefully
inserting the fine edge between
closed lids. After outlining the
eye, end with a tiny line which
gives the eyes an attractive
slanting appearance.
Egyptians centuries ago bor
rowed from their Turkish neigh
bors a depilatory which makes
them scorn modern powders and
depilatory creams. It is a sticky
substance called halawa oddly,
that is also the Arabic word for
candy.
Halawa is prepared by mixing
sugar with a little water and
allowing the mixture to boil.
Then a few drops of lemon juice
are added to make a thick, trans
parent syrup. After cooling, it
is applied to the skin and then
removed. It hurts yes. But for
at least a month the rough, un
ruly hair disappears.
Out here most women have a
"ballana," a professional who
calls once monthly to provide
the "halawa" treatment.
Next to kohl henna is one of
the most antique beauty treat
ments. American women may
recall an old joke that "some
men like blondes, some brun
ettes and some like women hen
na way." The pun isn't very
good but Egyptian women be
lieve the beauty treatment is.
Peasant women pick henna
leaves, dry them and grind
them. The dark green powder
is then mixed with water. Henna
is not only used to turn hair an
orange-blonde shade. It is used
to delicately tint the palms, feet
and nails.
Egyptian tradition says
woman with henna-dyed hair
never suffers from dandruff.
Canned hamburgers are dell
cious baked on baking rmwrfor
biscuits. Make the biscuit dough
out of the standard recipe and
cut twelve rounds that are the
same size as the hamburgers.
Top each of six rounds with a
hamburger, then cover with the
remaining six rounds and bake
in a hot oven for about 15 min
utes. Serve with hot gravy or
sauce.
The businessman who be
comes a week-end painter, land
scaper or carpenter is an ex
pensive menace. Practically
any chore he tackles, more energy-consuming
than digging up
gladiolus bulbs, could be accom
plished cheaper and better by
acquiring an expensive professional.
During the past two week
ends the following events be
fallen neighbors within a stone's
throw of my own small house
and grounds:
One neighbor decided it was
time to repaint his rain-gutters.
The quiet of Sunday was shat
tered by a hoarse male scream
as the gentleman was precipi
tated with considerable force on
the flagstone terrace below.
When he was revived, it was dis
covered tha three ribs were
broken and a muscle torn. He
said the ladder slipped out from
under him. Be that as it may,
there are doctor, hospital and
X-ray bills to be paid, not to
mention the crutches, and office-
time lost. And some one still
has to repaint the gutters. Also,
it was a borrowed ladder, and
it's broken now, so he'll have to
replace that.
Last Saturday another shout
ed alarm rent the air. It came
from another neighbor who
decided he was going to repair
his house, thereby saving him
self a pretty penny. Well, he
had to take off some of the old
paint with an acetylene torch
So he set his house on fire. The
damage wasn't extensive the
water from the garden hose
didn't help the living room fur
niture much but there will be
some carpenter work required.
Next day, still a third neigh
bor had an emergency visit from
the doctor. This week-end Paul
Bunyan was engaged in moving
an evergreen tree alone. He

ADVICE TO WIVES:
'Week-End' Handy-Man
Can Be Expensive Menace
By CYNTHIA LOWRY
(AP NcwiftiturM Writer
Women whose husbands are "handy around the house," are
usually the object of envy by women whose husbands "won't
lift a hand." They shouldn't be. Ladies with husbands who go
golfing week-ends or who just loll around in comfortable chairs
are really the lucky ones.
was trying to lift it Into a wheel
barrow, when something slip
ped out of place in his back.
He's strapped up now, so some
one has to be hired anyway to
finish the job.
Apparently there is something
about living in a small house
with small grounds which leads
the average person to believe
that he can do just any job,
from electrical work to steeple-
jacking. I'd like to look at in
surance figures about the num
ber of accidents that befall these
week-end jacks of all trades.
Intelligent wives would dis
courage this week-end laboring
tendency on the part of eager
husbands. If he feels he must
play painter, set him to work at
something he can do on the
ground, like storm windows,
screens and other removable
parts. If he must garden, don't
let him tackle anything more
violent than a lawn mower. Let I
him replace washers, but keep J
him away from anything that
seems like an important leak, I
water or gas. And never, no
never, let him fool around with
electrical wires.
This is a simple measure of
economy, designed to save both
money and health, not to men
tion tempers.
