Moscow Now
Of Make up; Said Plentiful

Moscow - IUPD - Now that

looks with
every thing
from cold
cream con
taining vodka
to eye brow
pencils.
Not too
many years
ago lipstick
was scarce
and most
women marching toward Com

cent natural look. Only faint
use of makeup is approved
now, but cosmetics are cheap
and plentiful in department
stores and every sidewalk
stand.
Young girls arc the main
customers around the crowd
ed cosmetic counters in GUM,
ine Macy s of Moscow, where
you can buy cleansing cream
in tubes with such names as
"Lanolin" and "Almond" for
30 cents at the tourist ex
change rate.
Lipstick Purpla
For five rubles, or 50 cents.
I bought whitish face powder
called "Moscow" in a red box,
about half the size of an
American box, and decorated
with views of the Kremlin.
Lipstick was 10 rubles, or $1,

Approves Use
in a pink, plastic case. Al
though the Russians make fine
sputniks, the lipstick seemed
to me greasy and the powder
heavy. The predominant lip
stick color seems to be purple.
Lipstick brushes haven't in
filtrated Moscow yet. Mas
cara is 30 cents in a cardboard
box. No cosmetic counter sells
underarm deodorant.
While I cased the cosmetics
in one store, a Russian house
wife standing next to me pull
ed out a well-known western
lipstick in a gold case and con
fided, "I have a French friend
who spoils me. He bought me
this."
Soviet planners import few
frills such as cosmetics. But
one cold cream factory reme
died that. On the GUM count
ers is the exact copy of a
famous western skin cream
(Nivea) - even the same navy
blue-and-white label. Not only
that, the factory used the same
brand name, only spelled in
the Cyrillic (Russian)-alphabet.
A tin the size of shoe
polish can cost five rubles, but
it is heavier and doesn't smell
as good to me as the western
kind.
Not Advertised
There's no advertising in
the Soviet Union to warn you
a husband won't be yours un
less you curl your eyelashes.
But the few women's maga
zines here include beauty ar
ticles, now that Soviet fe
males want to look pretty as
well as run tractors.
One article in Soviet Wom
en suggests a do-it-yourself
face cream: Beat one egg yolk;
add glass of cream, juice of
one lemon, ounce of vodka. It
sounds like a golden fizz, but
put it on your face.
Cosmetics' counters feature
limited brands and are modest
by western standards. But
whoever runs the perfume
trust must have overfulfilled
his seven-year plan already.
Department stores in Moscow
devote easily three times the
,space to perfumes as the aver
age western store, ine scents
come in packages with tas
sels, colored paper and even
bottles shaped like a Kremlin
tower.
' Men in this country of strict
Communist morality are not
dragged into danger with such
perfume titles as "My Sin
The Russians more staidly call
theirs "Red Moscow," "Sput
nik," "Evening" and "Stone
Flower." Russian per fumes
seem to me heavy1 and sweet.
However, one day a Mos
cow newspaper proudly carol
ed, "Russian perfumes are bet
ter than French perfumes."
I also' sampled Russian
toothpaste. It is tasteless and
makes no claim to whiten, de
odorize or do away with
cavities. '

Costume
Suit Good
For Spring
By GAY PAULEY
UPI Women's Editor
New York - (DPD New
York's fashion industry so
overwhelmingly endorses the
costume that the two-piece
suit for spring may become
passe. . .
Instead, we'll shop for four
combinations dress plus
coat, dress plus jacket, skirt
plus jacket plus blouse, or
skirt plus coat plus blouse.
Costumes far outdid the tra
ditional two-piece suit in col
lections shown last week by
top designers to the nation's
store buyers. One of the stars
was the three-piece suit with
belted overblouse. Jackets on
these were loose in silhouette,
often with side vents, and in
length fell to the waist or a
couple of inches below.
One firm, Branell, carried
the costume look into dress
sweater sets for daytime,
showing matching trimmed
cashmere sweaters over linen
or silk dresses.
Designer , Ceil Chapman
used bulky cardigan sweaters
as evening wraps for both
short and long formal sheaths,
Edward Beckham, designer
for the new high style firm
of Paul Blumenstein, showed
a group of collarless coats in
brilliant solid shades topping
printed silk dresses in coor
dinated shades.
Bill Blass, chief designer at
Maurice Rentner, liked the
skirt - blouse - coat costume
done In unusual fabric and
color combinations. He team
ed pale shades of wool over
linen, and combined lime
green with bright blue.
The costume proved just as
popular for after-five as for
daytime. At Edward Abbott's,
cocktail outfits looked prim
and covered up until the jack
ets were removed to show
slim dresses with revealing
tops.
Other highlights from the
spring collections:
-Culotte dresses showed in
fabrics for all hours. Other
dresses for late day came with
high turtle necks at the front,
but sliced to a deep V or U
at the back. Daytime dresses
had a longer waisted look,
and there was a lot of bias
cut to give them a flowing
look. Sleeve treatment ranged
from the sleeveless, through
cap, raglan and lantern.
-Dresses with one shoulder
bare, the other covered, ap
peared in both sportswear
and late day clothes.
-Coat sleeves were bulky
looking, some with cape-like
backs, straight columns with
side vents, or princess-shaped
to the front of the body.
-Bright pink proved a hit
for spring '61, but there also
were plenty of bright blues,
pale mauves, apricot and
peach shades and the beiges.

Metropolitan
Season On Rel
By FREDERICK M. WINSHIP
United Press International
New York - "(UPD - The Met
ropolitan Opera revived an
impressive but neglected Ver
di m a s terpiece, "Nabucco,"
Monday night to open a sea
son which promises to be one
of the finest in the Met's 76-
year history.
One of the most sedate open
ing night throngs in years
paid a record of $91,482 to
see the 128-year-old work of
Verdi's youth, last produced
here in 1848. Orchestra seats
were $45, up $5 over last year.
Dermatitis Seldom
Caused by Detergents
According to Survey
Cincinnati -(UPD- Household
detergents have-been blamed
wrongfully as the principal
cause of a skin problem
known as "housewives' derma
titis," says a report from the
University of Cincinnati Col
lege of Medicine.
This red, itching eruption
of the skin, especially on the
hands, has been "loosely at
tributed" to these new clean
ing 'agents, said Dr. Raymond
R. Suskind, professor of in
dustrial medicine and derma
tology. Commonly used dishwash
ing and laundry cleansers
rarely are the primary factor
in the disease, a nine-year
study showed. When other
factors of the household rou
tine were removed, doctors
found that daily immersion of
hands in soaps and detergents
was not harmful.
Hospitalized patients with
skin diseases and others with
normal skin were studied to
determine the effect of cleans
ers on both. Results showed
the products "rarely provoke
allergic reactions" nor is their
alkalinity damaging.
Emotional adjustment, pre
vious skin problems, winter
weather, and chemical agents
such as food juices, dyes and
solvents were listed among
probable causes of the dis
ease. The medical department be
gan the study, Dr. 'Suskind
said, because for years "soap
dermatitis" was a "glib' and
frequent diagnosis for a vari
ety of skin problems of the
hands."

Opera Opens
igious Note
The appearance of actresss
Lauren Bacall, recently nam
ed the other woman in a
divorce suit brought by tha
wife of actor Jason Robards
Jr., was the only serious au
dience competition to the
musical performance, with an
assist from eye-catching Eva
Gabor. ,
Every seat was filled when
conductor Thomas Schippers
gave the downbeat for the
overture - a tribute to general
manager Rudolf Bing's 11
year campaign against the
circus aspects of opening;
nights.
Later in the season, Man
ager Bing will treat his pa
trons to new productions of
"Alcestis," with the celebrated
soprano Eileen Farrell mak
ing her Met debut, "Turan
dot," with sets and costumes
by Cecil Beaton, "Martha,"
and "L'elisir d'amore."
The religious tone of Mon
day night's offering, a drama
concerning the Babylonian
captivity of the Jews, caught
and held the audience
throughout its seven scenes.
The revival of "Nabucco"
established the American bari
tone, Cornell MacNeil, as one
of the Met's solidest talents.
His interpretation of the title
role of Nebuchadnezzar was
powerful both musically and
dramatically. He proved a
worthy successor to the great
Leonard Warren, who was as
signed to the role before his
death last March.
It was no news to Met pa
trons that Leonie Rysanek,
the Austrian soprano who
joined the company in 1958,
is capable of thrilling vocal
feats. But her complete mas
tery of the murderous arias
which Verdi wrote for the role
of Abigaille, unsurpassed in
the Verdian repetoire, evoked
the evening's loudest bravos
as high C followed high C.
