CHRISTENSEN FrM Parking American Women Neglect Skin Care, Expert Warns Bt gay pauIey UPI Women's Editor New York (UPD A girl's face may be her fortune. But many of us females aren't collecting any interest on the principal. Ainslee Arenas, for 25 years a beauty technician, teacher and lecturer, says that neglect cuts steadily into our "invest ment." A good skin needs the same careful watching we give the bank account. "All babies have beautiful skins," she said. "But what happens as we grow up and older? It is a combination of neglect and physical condi tion - diet and general health. Cleanliness is a basic rule. The skin has an oily surface. Dirt sticks to oil. Bacteria breed in dirt. So: Pimples and blackheads." "Maintain - Don't Rebuild" Miss Ainslee, as she is known In the cosmetia indus try, believe in skin "main tenance." "If you maintain," she said, "you don't have to rebuild. But some women take 10 years to get a mess, and expect miracles in a week. It's like dieting. You put on those pounds over a long period. They don't dis appear over night" "This thing of sleeping in cold cream all night is ridicu lous," she said. "After 15 minutes, your skin's had it. Or maybe 30, if you have not been giving it daily lubrica tion. "Start skin care before you need it. After 30, daily cleansing and lubrication are a must. They'll keep you 10 years younger looking than you are. At 50 you'll look 40; at 60, you'll look 50. I think the gain is worth the trouble." The beauty authority says that each skin has its own special problems, and every cosmetics counter is stocked with creams and lotions to fit your type.

She sug gested a "balanced diet" of lubricant first, non - drying astringent second. Like An Old Girdle Young skin doesn't need a heavy lubricating cream, she said. The skin "over 45" does "by then, it is like an old girdle. It has lost some of its stretch. The oil of the lubri cant acts as a filler. You're pumping temporary new life into it." . Miss Ainslee is director of the Charles of the Ritz Train ing School. She teaches make up technique and skin care to the company's representa tives, who work behind coun ters of department stores in this country, Europe, and South America. She also cre ates new colors and new products for the firm's cos metics line. What, in her opinion, is our most common makeup fault? "Too much rouge," she said. Suit Amazes Russians at Moscow Show They did everything in Mos cow but throw the suit to the wolves and still it came through almost as neatly press ed as the day it arrived. At the American Exposi tion, the Russians found it labeled a "self-pressing suit" for men which holds its press under any conditions from sleeping in it to wandering in a pouring rainstorm. The surprised Exposition visitors watched a model con tort himself at the thrice daily fashion show in an effort to rumple his suit but without visible effect. Most of the watchers thought there was a "trick" to it, according to Michael Daroff, president of The House of Worsted-tex, Inc., and maker of the suit, who attended the fair. Rather than any "trick," it was American fashion and fabric ingenuity plus quality tailoring they were seeing, Daroff explained. The suit is made of an exclusive blend of dynel and worsted which looks like fine flannel but has special hard-wearing quali ties. Thousands of American men have already discovered its "built-in valet" qualities for traveling, office wear, or in school wardrobes, he said. The suit will be worn 126 times at the Exposition, thus equaling almost a year of ordinary wear. Neither the heat, the hard wear, or the contortions of the model have put a wrinkle in this suit that didn't hang out between wear ings, Daroff reported. To the Russians, he said, a suit is a covering while in America it is a badge of status and com pliment. Accessories Important In Decorating United Press International Washington (UPD Diplo macy still is a man's world, but the females are moving in. The state department said at present there are 2,494 women employed in its for eign service - mostly secre taries and other personnel who back up the actual diplo mats. The number of petti coated envoys, however, is relatively few: 298, which is about 10 per cent of the total number envoys. To get in the foreign serv ice at any level, a girl must pass a stiff examination which requires a well-rounded edu cation. But there is no dis crimination other than in mat ters of assignment. There are some "hardship posts" in faraway places where it is considered unlike ly that a woman would be sent, said a department spokes man. But even here, the lines are being relaxed; there is now, for instance, a woman on the staff of the embassy in Addis Abba, Ethiopia- Salaries range from $5,225 to $20,000. And although there is no differentiation because of sex in hiring, there is one regula tion; if a female career officer marries within the service, she must submit to resigna tion "which may or may not be accepted." On the other hand, many of the women who chose the diplomatic service as life-time jobs have risen to high rank. An outstanding example is Frances B. Willis, now ambas sador to Norway, and with 31 years of experience. Miss Willis previously served as U-S. Ambassador to Switzer land. m Store plant bulbs in . old nylons.

Newlyweds In Rose burg Mr. and Mrs. Fred LaVern Baker are making their home in Roseburg following their wedding August 9 at Girls Community club here. Mrs. Baker is the former Nancy Kathleen Logan, daughter of Mrs. Custer Logan, Eugene, and Custer Logan, Modesto, Calif. For her wedding the bride wore a white and silver lace gown and carried a bouquet of pink carnations encircling a white orchid. v Members of the wedding party included Mrs. Lonnie Parker, Modesto, Calif., sister of the bride, who was matron of honor and flower girls, Catherine, Corrine, and Caro lyn Fedar, nieces of the bride groom. Carl Fedar,. nephew of the bridegroom, was ring bearer. Kenneth Bailey, Gold Hill, served as best man for his cousin. Lonnie Parker, Modes to, Calif., brother-in-law of the bridegroom, and Delmer Smith, Gold Hill, cousin of the bridegroom, seated the guests. Diamond Weave Hosiery Shown United Press Iniernaiional Hosiery styles include a wealth of diamond-patterned weaves. For daytime, there are crisscross patterns in black, charcoal, brown, beige and green. Evening hose com bine black and gold diamond point lace designs. Most are seamless. A variation of a blanket is the latest cover-up for fall. One St. Louis manufacturer shows a plaid wool blanket slashed in the center to make a poncho for stadium and sportswear. The poncho comes with a hood and closes with a slide fastener under the chin. Flattened, it can be used as a lap robe or blanket. The poncho goes into lounge wear for the indoors, too. One manufacturer shows fringed ponchos in vivid, striped cot ton knits and printed cotton flannels. They're paired with solid color capri or toreador pants. The sweat shirt inspires some of the newest campus fashions. One St. Louis de signer uses the pull-over in a two-piece costume. The slim- cut skirt is in wool tweed, and the same tweed is used for the front of the pullover; the back and neck are wool knit. The demure silhouette re turns in fashions for small girls. The "Louisa May Alcott" look shows in tiny waisted dresses, with large, puffed sleeves; in ruffled pinafores, middies, and princess styles worn with black or matching tights. t Do-lt-Yourself Furniture Line Bt MARGUERITE DAVIS United Press International Chicago -(UPD- A new line of do-it-yourself furniture has been designed for the do-it. yourselfer who hasn't time to do it now.

The outcome depends on how well you prepare him for his entry into a new world and his break from the old -home. " It depends, too, oh your view of formal education and on how you conduct yourself when first you usher him in to a classroom. ' Rebecca Adinoff Winton, director of early child educa tion for New . York City schools, said teachers most ap preciate mothers who bring the child to the classroom door, introduce themselves and child, kiss the child good bye and depart. Mrs. Winton said some mothers upset the apple-cart by: -getting nostalgic at sight of blackboard and smell of chalk. It reminds them of their first days in school and they can't pass up the tempta tion to tell teacher all about the way school used to be. -insisting that teacher lis ten to all the things that Junior or Janie can do. Some times, the history includes a clinical report going back to pre-natal days. -telling teacher that she has warned her child to ex pect little pleasure in school, making school and teacher look like a boogie-man. "That first day," said Mrs. Winton, "a teacher must spend most of her energy making the children feel at home. Teachers need a chance to do their work well. They can't afford to let the children get a feeling that teachers is ne glecting them On the child's preparation for the first day of school, Mrs. Winton suggested that parents' consider the follow' ing: The child should have necessary shots given long in advance. If injections are giv en that first day of school, needling and pain will be as sociated with school in the child's mind. -Clothing should have but tons and zippers that the child can manipulate. -Child should know his name and where he lives. If he has been going by a nick name but is using a formal name in school, let him know what it is, so he can answer the roll. -The child should have some notion about where the school is in relation to his home. Well in advance of the first day, make a practice run or two to the school via what ever transportation the child will be using. -Tell him that school is pleasant place and that he will meet many new friends there and that his teacher is looking forward to meeting him -Tell him the teacher is a nice person who is going to help him to learn many things." But don't be too spe cific. School has changed quite a bit since you were in the first grade. Let the teach er tell him what he will learn, -Try to arrange for him to have a preview of the class room so that he won't feel strange about the furniture, the lay-out. Show him the school-yard and tell him that is where he will be playing with some of his new friends, Such preparation will do much about the fears and anxieties your child will have in connection with the break from home. Fears center about his relations with other children, his new physical sur roundings and his teacher. The child who is going to school for the first time, like all students, will need certain things throughout the year, For example: three nourishing meals a day; plenty of rest; love, con fidence, and understanding at home; time to play and - time to study. legs and hardware are at tached. The suite would include a bookcase headboard, night stand, corner desk, cabinet for phonograph and records, and a chest. The line has been handled Dy a mail order company which reports that more than 70 per cent of its customers prefer the ready painted pieces. - Reactions 'Remember," said Mrs. Win ton, "show interest, give help and encourage your child throughout the school year -as always - if you want him to realize fully, someday, the potential with which he was born." DITTO - every school year from here until "magna cum laude" from college in 1975 or sooner. To Leave . Miss Helen G. Ford and Mrs. C. E. Brennan, Tacoma, have been guests here of Mr. and Mrs. Roy G.
