All-purpose suit of beige wool, like the one worn by Mary Shipp of Columbia network's "Silver Theatre," is a smart item for the girl-on-a- budget wardrobe. Here it is worn with a huge jewel clip and milan straw cart-wheel, suitable for dining in town. A quick switch to sports accessories makes an ideal outfit for the country club. (Country Club Coat Co., Los Angeles.)

Slim and trim is this natural gabardine tailleur worn by pretty CBS actress Janet Waldo. Janet chose it because it fits all the new Government regulations — slim skirt, 85-inch jacket, narrow lapels and minimum of pockets—and is suitable for the casual outdoor life she leads in Hollywood. A touch of color is added with her bright wool slip - over sweater and matching straw hat. (From Goode's, Los Angeles.)

In the Women's World

Just as Southern as it can be is this picture of Madaline Lee. Madaline's grandmother gave her the recipe for this luscious delicacy, and the actress passes it on to you: Pour 1 1/2 cups of boiling water over 1 cup of white corn meal. Let this scald for 2 or 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of cold milk and 3 egg yolks, beaten well. Then add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Fold in 2 teaspoons of baking powder, stir slowly until dissolved. Fold in the well beaten white of eggs. Don't stir much after adding the last two ingredients. Pour into warm buttered casserole, bake 35 minutes in a moderate oven (350 degrees). Serve immediately with butter a-drippin' all over the top crust. Serves six.

Diary of a Beauty Authority

By HELENA RUBINSTEIN (This week the noted specialist advances some fundamentals for economical planning of your beauty aids.) NEW YORK — Walking up Fifth Avenue this morning to my office, I noticed that the most attractively dressed women were wearing the simplest costumes. Extravagance has gone out of fashion. It belongs to a former period. Our time calls for wise economy, for conserving precious materials. This is true of beauty as well as fashion. In the past few weeks, many women have confided to me that they have had to cut down on their beauty expenses. Women, who have never before thought twice about economizing on preparations, are now making their beauty aids last as long as possible. They have come to me and asked my advice on how to budget their beauty expenses. First of all, I warn against cheap beauty preparations. Unless a preparation gives complete satisfaction, unless it does not injure the skin, it is a false economy. The best way to economize on beauty preparations is to use those which perform several functions. For instance, you can use a cream which lubricates, brightens, cleanses and massages—all in one application. No need to invest in four separate items. Buy the one and invest the difference in Government stamps. Face lotions and astringents may also be used, soaked in cotton pads, as a beauty treatment for the eyes. Cleansing granules for washing the face may also be used on the elbows, knees, and heels to smoothe out those difficult roughened spots. You may be using a product now, without realizing the several purposes for which it was intended. Ask the salesgirl who sells it to you exactly what it can be used for. That way, you will get the most out of each purchase, and you will not duplicate your cosmetics. So much for knowing, buying and using sensibly your beauty products. But you must also know your skin. Do you buy things you have need for simply because everyone seems to be buying them? Accept the advice of a competent beauty counselor and don't buy blindly. Remember, what is good for some skins is very bad for others. When you buy your makeup, do not invest in highly styled bizarre colors dictated by fashion extremists. Instead, buy two different lipstick and rouge sets—one of the bluish hue and one of the orange — both of them flattering to your complexion. These will harmonize with all your costumes and the darker color will be a good makeup for after-dark wear. I also recommend these money-saving beauty hints: 1—Remember that enough cream or foundation to cover the tip of your finger is all you require for one application —your skin will not absorb more. 2—Always select a rich, concentrated face cream in preference to a thin, watery one. The former will last longer and do more for your skin. 3—Always massage whatever cream remains on your fingers into your hands—that will save the necessity of having special hand cream. 4—Your lotion applied with your fingertips is just as effective as it is when applied with cotton. Cotton absorbs the lotion and is wasteful. 5—Get the most out of your money, but learn a few mas- sage movements to help along the work of the cream. 6—Cream rouge is more economical than compact rouge— and more lasting. 7 — Give your complexion treatment a chance to do its work—don't change your preparations weekly or monthly.

The reefer goes dressy this spring with such unusual decor as pockets in the form of flower pots abloom with gay life-like flowers. Phyllis Creore wears an especially attractive model in light blue twill with silver buttons and red and green flowers. Her blue felt hat is appliqued with red apples and green leaves. (From Lanz of Salzburg.)

Captivating, and cool is this slim-lined, long torso frock of a brilliant floral print worn by Charlotte Manson. Notice how the white border of the material gives the effect of applique at the edge of the sleeves and blouse. Her heart-shaped straw hat is trimmed in flowers which repeat the colors of the print.

U-TALK

By BARBARA BROWNE Strains of "Auld Lang Syne" and the Miami Alma Mater echo through the University of Miami walls at seniors shed a few tears (crocodile or otherwise) in preparation for their graduation exercises at the Miami Biltmore Monday night. Because they don't have to take final exams, people like Dottie Lowe, Betty Blake, Julia Arthur, Alvyn Boege, Don Chadderdon and Charlie Lovett, who have been active leaders, sit in the patio and soda shop gleefully watching the underclassmen cram. After four years of doing everything, the seniors are at last doing nothing (but entertain themselves). Tonight the University Playmakers will present the second performance of their last play of the year, "Shadow and Substance." Directed by Mrs. Opal E. Motter, the cast will include Dick Trice as Canon; Ben Lan-ders, O'Flingsly; Elaine Plaken, Brigid; Marshall Simmons, Kirwan; Don Littlefield, Corr; Shirley Goldston, Jemima; Ruth Jane Craver, Rosey Violet; Harry Audette, Martin Mullanone; Richard Motter, Francis, and Maxine Kriesworth, Thomasine. In the rush of the last school days, school organizations are trying to squeeze in the election of their leaders for next year. As approved by the Senate Tuesday, the heads of publications will be: Hurricane Editor, Jim Jeffrey; Hurricane business manager, Edison Archer; Ibis editor, Dorothy Ann Levin. The Ibis business manager has not yet been chosen. Retiring heads are Hedwig Burger as Hurricane editor; Harry Rinehart, Hurricane business manager; Jean Small, Ibis editor, and Ira Van Bullock, Ibis business manager. Theta Alpha Phi has chosen Barbara Willock to lead the honorary dramatics fraternity next year. Working with her will be Charlotte Motter as vice-president, Lowell Veach as secretary, and Lloyd Symansky as treasurer. Not only electing new officers, the Kiwanis Builders has initiated seven new members, who are Gordon Abbot, George Young, Don Kuhl, Charles Vick, Jack Goldman, Thomas Thompson and Joseph Detrio. The new officers are Fred Maetke, president; George Young, secretary; Gordon Abbot, vice-president, and Harvey Klein, treasurer. Ah, yes, with June comes the inevitable large number of engagements and marriages. Betty Blake is being honored with showers, the most recent given by Lois Estelle Pelgrim, because of her coming marriage May 29 to Art Tracy. The wedding will be held at the Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority house. Latest entertainment honoring Alvalyn Boege, engaged to Lieutenant Charles Breinan, was a shower given by Dorothy Lowe and Mrs. David Wike, Wednesday night at Dorothy's home. It is sad to have seniors graduating and classmates leaving uncertain about return, but there is one thing nice about the end of school—old friends will be coming home. Zoya Dickens, who has been studying art in Washington, D. C.; Billie Thompson, Rosemary Hubbell and Barbara Jane Mayhew, Duke University; Margery Loomis, Nancy Otto, Sussne Bonner, Frances Vandiver, Betty Pope and Frances McGarry, Tallahassee; Edith Batcheller, Wesleyan; Helene Zimmerman, Brenau, and Mary Carter, LaGrange, are some of the many who will be back in the Gables this summer.
