In the Women's World

Cool non-crushable summer traveling suits are worn by Phyllis Creore and Toni Gilman on a week-end trip to Washington, D. C. In the B. & O. lounge car, Phyllis (left) models a gold faille short jacket with gold button trim. Toni's three-piece ensemble is Air Force blue shantung with a flower print blouse. Travelers will find that with charges of accessories both these models are perfect for any number of occasions. (From DePinna, N. Y.)

Tea dancing is one of the favorite forms of entertainment in the nation's capital. While week-ending in Washington, actresses Toni Gilman and Phyllis Creore visited the popular Carlton Cosmos Room. Toni wears a "Big Apple" frock of beige crepe with oversized apples and leaves in brown appliqued on the right shoulder and lower left side of the wrap-around skirt. Her lacy straw-trimmed hat has brown veiling. Phyllis' striking print is gray, black and white, with a plunging neckline and bracelet length sleeves. Her small hat of field flowers is easy to pack. (From DePinna, N. Y.)

At Lincoln Memorial Phyllis Creore—who has taken a week-end off from the CBS studios to make a trip to Washington, D. C.—stops to pose for the cameraman. She wears a classic blue and gray check suit with a gray silk blouse and navy accessories—a perfect ensemble for traveling and sightseeing on cool days.

Enjoy your trip to the utmost by being completely comfortable, says Toni Gilman. Here she is practicing what she preaches. For long trips, she wears cool rayon slacks and a gay cotton blouse. (From DePinna, N. Y.)

COAST GUARD BANS NIGHT COAST FISHING

MIAMI, May 29 (FNS)—Night fishing on the Florida East Coast from Tavernier north to Cape Canaveral has been prohibited by the Coast Guard. The restricted area covers a distance of approximately 275 miles, or from a point opposite Cocoa to half way down the Florida Keys along the Overseas Highway. The order, issued this week, is intended to prevent any charter or commercial boat from leaving the harbors of the district at night. The area covered by the order includes some of the world's finest fishing grounds and it is in this vicinity that President Roosevelt has had some of his deep-sea fishing in the past.

MRS. DIO TRAVELS TO PITTSBURGH

Mrs. Helen Dio will leave this week for Pittsburgh, Pa., and a visit of two or three weeks with her sister. Later she plans to spend several months at Black Mountain, N. C., at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Don Peabody. Mrs. Bertha Reimer will be in charge of Mrs. Dio's shop in the Remuair Arcade during her absence.

First Aid

Mrs. L. D. Scott, who has been conducting the first aid classes at the Country Club of Coral Gables, announces an advanced class is in the making, work to begin next week. Mrs. Lawson Cheatham is co-chairman of the club's Red Cross classes.

LITTLE FLOWER SOCIETY NAMES CHAIRMEN

At the recent meeting of the Little Flower Society, Mrs. Margaret Brown was made chairman of the social society. Mrs. Andrew Healy was named co-chairman. Mrs. L. A. Drummond was named secretary and Mrs. T. L. Fitzgibbin, treasurer. Mrs. Norma Shaughnessy is chairman of the League of the Sacred Heart.

FATHER BARRY TO HAVE FAREWELL

A farewell party and reception will be given the Rev. Father Joseph Barry of the parish of the Little Flower from 7 until 10 P. M. Monday, at the rectory, 1270 Avenue Anastasia. Father Barry leaves for Kissimmee, where he will be pastor of the Catholic Church.

To Boston

Mrs. David Beyer, 521 Avenue Giralda, is leaving this week for Boston to spend the summer with her daughter, Mrs. Edward Malley. Another daughter, Miss Janet Beyer, who was graduated from Ponce de Leon High School, will remain in Coral Gables with friends and attend business school.

Simple Wartime Fashions Shift Interest to Fabrics

The fashion designers, faced with war-time restrictions on every hand, are shifting interest to fabrics. The theory is that if a dress can't have accordion pleats, an overskirt itself must make news. The fabric people, on the other hand, have restrictions of their own to face, primarily in the field of fibres and dyes. They are accordingly concentrating their creative talents in the weave. It is surface interest which takes the spotlight—new loomed loveliness which is a matter of inspired weaving, of new and knowing twists to yarns, of fresh, original eye appeal and touch appeal. The war-time fabrics are the kind you like to run your finger over. The new celanese fabrics offer outstanding examples of this feeling in textiles—materials whose weave would make any dress or suit distinguished on its own merits, even without benefit of peacetime furbelows. "Cornstalk", in vivacious red, owes its different look to one-way roughness with a smart broken ribbed effect. "Nicname", in vibrant gold, features an attractive irregularity of weave with an eminently drapeable hand and a marked willingness to lend itself to the victory silhouette. Both of these fabrics have been tested for dry cleaning and may be safely trusted to a reliable dry cleaner. The emphasis which many leading fabric manufacturers are placing on dry cleanability has come as a surprise to women who assume that everything which is not washable is automatically dry cleanable. This idea, according to the experts, is a delusion. Many fabrics which are not launderable are not dry cleanable either. The National Association of Dyers and Cleaners, which maintains a large laboratory for testing and trying new materials, states that the sad truth is that many fabrics are not cleanable by any method whatever. They are simply unserviceable beyond the first few wearings. Women who have never heard of fabrics which won't dry clean, apparently do not connect that subject with those common cleaning casualties—fabrics which come back from dry cleaning with crispness disappeared, seams frayed, with powder blue faded to violet, or with skirts sagging unevenly at the hem. The victims of such unsatisfactory performance usually believe that such is the regrettable nature of cleaning, when the truth is that the fabrics themselves are at fault. This kind of failure is expensive waste in peace time. Today, when every ounce of material must be made to count, it is unpatriotic waste as well. Hence the growing trend among women bent on conservation to ask, "Will it dry clean?" as often as they ask, "Will it wash?" Fabric manufacturers are taking increasing pains to make it crystal clear to the consumer that many fabrics should not merely be dry cleaned, but should be trusted only to a reliable dry cleaner. The smart new crepey weaves particularly need expert treatment.

Diary of a Beauty Authority

By HELENA RUBINSTEIN (In this article the famous beauty expert gives the basic steps in getting the most out of your beauty sleep.) NEW YORK — Shakespeare, an authority on so many subjects, was also a sage beauty counseler when he said, "Sleep knits up the ravell'd sleeve of care." Sleep is one of the greatest beauticians in the world, but you must know how to make it work for you. You must know how to sleep, to relax perfectly, to fall asleep without fretful tossing. Forget the office, the unpaid bills, the Soldiers' Benefit you are running. These hours of sleep are all important if you would be your beautiful self . . . this is the time when tired muscles under the skin should be freed from tension. And this is the time when you should reap the benefits of a scientifically planned and carefully followed nightly beauty treatment. You must learn to cleanse your face before going to bed. Make-up and grime must be completely removed before you go to sleep. The first step in the perfect nightly beauty routine is finding the kind of cleansing cream that is best suited to your complexion. Dip your fingers into the cream on your face, using long, upward movements from chin to ear and from nose to temple. With the fingers just below each eyebrow, gently lift the muscles of the outer eyelids upward. Treat the delicate skin around the eyes. Place your thumbs at the corners of the nostrils and rub with circular motion vigorously, for this is an area where dirt accumulates heavily. All the time you are cleansing your skin, you are also increasing the circulation and toning the muscles. In removing the cream, use the same upward strokes with which you apply them, following the natural muscle structure of your face. For the tired skin or the skin that is sallow, dull, or very dry, use an herbal cleansing cream containing vegetable oils. The next step in the routine is washing the skin properly. After make-up has been removed with a good cleansing cream, the oily skin should be washed with a granular washing preparation, which helps to correct the oily condition and the coarsened pores. The dry skin should be washed with a mild complexion soap. The last basic principle for beauty while you sleep is the lubrication of your skin. Especially if your skin is dry, make a habit of using a good night cream. Leave this on while you sleep, and wake up after a good night's rest with your skin firm and invigorated. Here are a few other beauty hints for your bedroom. You will find that sprinkling a dash of cologne on your pillow before you go to bed, among your nightgowns, is a soothing beauty aid. A warm drink or some light food and a light book are also aids for beautifying slumber. If you give your nightly beauty routine a little careful attention, you will wake each morning, glad to look in your mirror, refreshed for the strenuous day ahead of you.
