In the Women's World
Happy holiday spirits can be kept all through the winter with one of the new crop of bright and becoming hats like the glorified sailor worn here. It is in all-spice tone of felt, trimmed with saffrongreen belting and an over-sized bunch of red poppies. (Hat by Erik.)
Light colored hats with flower trimming will add a gay note to your dark winter wardrobe. Esther Ralston wears a hat of strawberry pink brushed beaver jersey, inspired by the Renoir period. It is trimmed with a large silk rose and tied in back with emerald green velvet. (A Covell Original.)
Crocheting comes into its own with its entrance into the formal fashion field. Kay Brinker of Columbia network is shown here in a white crepe skirt and white tape and gold metal crocheted top. The buttons are gold and the cap sleeves give the new rounded shoulder effect. (From Henri Bendel.)
STRAIGHT FROM NEW YORK
EVENING GLITTER Here's that "glitter" so smart for formal evening dresses for gala occasions, high points of the holiday season. Often the bodice, or bodice and peplum, are a mass of gleaming sequins, while the skirt is in plain fabric. Or the entire dress may be sprinkled over with sequins, as in this New York creation made of gold taffeta. Here the glitter follows a delicate spider - web design, spreads all over the bouffant skirt and tight fitting, low-cut bodice.
Magnificent nutria great cape with bright red lining, suitable for both daytime and evening wear, is worn here. It is modeled over a costume suit of beige wool, featuring the new dipping hemline and tunic blouse with horizontal stripes of self material. Her high crowned hat of pale blue has bright blue flower trimming.
Shirred taffeta skirt and tight fitted velvet bodice is one of the popular models for this year's juniors. Patricia Ryan chooses red and black for her formal. Notice the tiny ruffle outlining the decolletage, narrow double shoulder straps, and perky bow on the shoulder and skirt.

Miss Loretta Sheehy Returns From Christmas Trip to Coast
Miss Loretta Sheehy, secretary to A. B. Curry, city manager, who returned this week from a month's trip to New York and California, packed more unusual events into those weeks than she anticipated by any stretch of the imagination. She saw snow and plenty of freezing weather in Los Angeles and rode back from California on a train filled with evacuees from Pearl Harbor and Honolulu. Miss Sheehy accompanied another sister, on the faculty of St. Elizabeth's college in New York, to Los Angeles to visit a third sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Harold D. Horrocks. Snow and cold rainy weather dogged their footsteps in California, Miss Sheehy said, "The Californians try to say it's 'unusual' just as we do, but the famous 'Bob Burns' said, 'this weather is more unusual than usual.'" They visited the Pasadena Playhouse and went everywhere in spite of the freezing weather. Returning, they experienced their first blackout as passengers on the train which contained three pullmans of Honolulu and Pearl Habor evacuees. Miss Sheehy says the Honolulans were ready to talk and told harrowing tales of the raids.

Mrs. Heath, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Smith, attended school in Lake City, Ursinus College, Pa., and Columbia University. Mr. Heath is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Heath of Marinette, Wis., attended school there and is at present a commercial representative of the Piper Aircraft Corporation in Lock Haven, Pa.
Blue Dome Opens New Exhibit Here
The joint exhibition of Elma Angell and her pupil Celia Weinberg opened at the College Cupboards Gallery, Monday. Both of these artists paint Florida landscapes and flowers in a free modern manner. Mrs. Angell, who is the wife of Dr. Angell of Miami Springs, has been studying and painting for many years. Born in North Carolina, she has lived and painted in eight states. Her early training in art was under Peter Honstedt of the Duveneck School of Cincinnati and her paintings show this influence, although she has developed her own individual style. Mrs. Angell has held several one man shows in San Antonio, Texas, where she lived for some time, and has received favorable notice both in Texas and in Miami art exhibits. She exhibits here with the Blue Dome Fellowship, the Miami Art League and walked away with the majority of prizes at the local Penwomen's exhibit. Mrs. Weinberg has been studying with Mrs. Angell for the past three years.
Diary of a Beauty Authority
By HELENA RUBENSTEIN (The famed beautician stresses the importance of face powders in this week's article.) NEW YORK, Jan. 8—Would you deliberately powder a dry skin with an extra-dry powder, or use a heavy, oily powder on an oily skin? Your immediate answer to this question may be "no," and yet that is the risk you run every time you select a face powder without giving consideration to your complexion type. While lunching at L'Aiglon, one of New York's smart restaurants, this noon, I gazed about me and was appalled at the number of otherwise perfectly groomed women whose carefully applied makeup was ruined by a poor choice of face powder. If your skin hasn't beek looking well lately, if your powder has been caking and forming ugly patches instead of a smooth, velvety covering, very likely you've been selecting powder only for color and not for type. We know that wearing a face powder of the wrong texture may be as fatal to your appearance as wearing a dress with the wrong lines. No cosmetic is more important than your face powder. It covers your face 15 to 16 hours a day. Don't lets its choice be a matter of luck. The woman who has a dry skin should use one type of powder, blended especially for that type of complexion, while the woman with normal or slightly oily skin should use a different type of powder, which is so designed that it will remain softlv flattering at all times, with never a trace of caking. Color, also, is important, because the subtle tints of a face powder can add color and sparkle to a woman's beauty. For instance, a peachbloom shade, for light skins, gives the complexion a delicate, pearly glow and brings out the pink tones. The maurres skin with golden undertones takes on a new warmth with a rich, flattering, mauresque shade that is perfect for the blonde with olive skin. By the way, it is my contention, contrary to the usual belief, that blondes look more striking with a darker powder—brunettes with a lighter powder. Face powder is a wonderful creator of illusion, and by blending light and dark shades properly, you can emphasize good features and minimize defects. A prominent nose or jawline, for example, can be soft-pedaled with a covering of dark face powder, using light powder on the rest of the face. If there are rings beneath your eyes, use darker powder there. The general rule to remember is: the darker shades of powder shadow or diminish; the lighter shades highlight or accent. And remember, if you apply your powder by smoothing it on firmly, two applications will stay with you all day, keeping you at your loveliest. (If you have any makeup or skin problems of your own, Madame Rubinstein will gladly solve them for you. Simply address Helena Rubinstein, in care of this paper.) Next: Miracles of Makeup
