Your "tools of the makeup trade" are just as important as are color combinations and technique in order to achieve that professional touch. Have you looked at your powder puff lately? It's one of your most necessary tools, and unfortunately, often the most neglected. Is it "Palette - able" or dirt and matted; hiding in one of the bottom corners of your hand bag?

Resolution Praises Fire Hero The Mississippi legislature last week adopted a resolution lauding a Negro, who died of burns received while trying to prevent the explosion of a burning petroleum truck, as "one of our most courageous and loyal citizens." The statement was made by House Speaker Walter Sillers about Alfred McNair of Jackson. McNair received his injuries fighting the blaze after sending companions to summon firemen. Garden Time A friend and I were discussing the collard the other day because of his interest in this important southern crop of the Potherbs and Greens family. Botanically the collard is a Brassica (B. oleracea) and classed as a cool season crop. There are certain varietal differences in which my friend was interested. Some of the varieties have a more marked heading tendency than others, such as the (Morris) Improved Heading. This variety was developed by careful selection and is outstanding for flavor. Votes, on the other hand, is also a good variety of the open leaf or loose heading type. The tenderness and flavor in the heading type develops as a result of the folding and blanching of the center leaves. The collard is one of the most popular vegetables grown in southern gardens and is coming more and more into demand on northern markets. It will withstand a greater range of temperature than perhaps any other vegetable crop grown in the South. In addition, this crop is adapted to a wide variety of soil types as long as they are well drained. Why is the sweet potato called a "Yam" in the South? Do you know the answer to this one? I am not sure that I do, but here are some facts that may be of interest. The true yam and the sweet potato are members of different plant families and so are not even closely related. The edible species of yams produce starchy roots (sometimes up to 60 pounds and above) somewhat similar to the Irish potato in taste and food value. They constitute an important source of food in tropical areas of the Americas, the West Indies, Pacific islands and tropical areas of Asia. Yams may be baked, boiled or fried much the same as Irish potatoes. For highest yields it is recommended that the vines be supported on stakes or a trellis or the yard or garden fence. However, the crop may be grown without supports on well drained soils.

Fashionwise and Otherwise By INEZ KAISER Since the French do things different from us and without haste, my next job was to telephone the publicity director at Maggy Roufferor for the American Press to make an appointment to talk with Chela. She was most cordial and gave me an appointment. I arrived in time to view the showing so that I would have some idea of the collection It was simply beautiful. Throughout the showing there was evidence of a return of fullness in suit skirts and afternoon dresses. The two outstanding silhouettes emphasized the hips and the bust. The waistline was found at either the bust or the hips. The shoulders were clearly defined. As the collection was presented it was really heart warming to see this model of color on the runway. She was very poised, charming and modeled beautifully. When the show was over she came out in her white coat-like dress and we met even though neither of us spoke the same language or understood each other. Mademoiselle Legrand was our interpreter. Chela, a 22 year old girl from Madagascar, an island off the southeast coast of Africa, had been an experienced stenographer before she became a model for this house. She had also been a cover girl on many magazines and had received much publicity because of her natural beauty and ability. As a result of all this, she went to a modeling school to study, not realizing that she would someday be the only brown-skinned model in Paris. The house of Rouff decided that they wanted to show that a Negro woman could be as attractively dressed as any other woman, so they hired Chela. In talking with both of them, I learned that there had not been any unfavorable reactions by the press or, from buyers. In fact she was a big success with American buyers. "She likes very much her work but it is very bad for feet." This bronze model weighs 50 kilos. Her measurements are bust 80, waist 50, hips 90. Figure those numbers out in the metric system and you will know her size). Her future plans are "to work." Although she has only been at this house a month she is looking forward to a successful future modeling, In her spare time, she loves to paint and walk. Can you imagine walking for a hobby when you walk all day? This was what I asked Chela, and she laughed. The Naciketa family is very happy of her success. Her parents, one brother and two married sisters are thrilled over her appointment and constantly look for photos of Chela in Paris. I left with a satisfaction of knowing that this fashion season has been simulating in America and abroad. Both had shown the peoples of the world what a Negro model can do. My next interview of note was with Monsieur Jacques Helm, the president of the couture Group. He was interesting to talk with, anxious to know how and what "we" thought about fashions, and somewhat surprised to learn we were designer conscious. The Heim house is one of the oldest in Paris. The collection emphasizes the side swirl in every silhouette designed in the most gorgeous fabrics. Mr. Heim wanted to know what could the French designers do to appeal to or help the people of color fashionwise. I went on and on with suggestions and facts concerning the Press. He listened attentively and gave me suggestions that were very helpful. There is no doubt why he had been the prexy for four years. I visited Nini Ricci's collection that was outstanding with its new cape influence. The Lanvin showing was gorgeous. The use of cartridge pleating and wool fringe was unusual. Madam Paulette's hats were so unusual. She is the queen of chapeaurs in every sense of the word. I stopped in Cardins for a brief stay. In between showings I went by to glance at the youthful collection of Guy Laroche. There I saw Virginia Pope, the fashion lady of the states. She later informed La Figaro of my visit and they interviewed me. The most upsetting experience I had was when I arrived late to see the Channel show and was not allowed to come in. I had explained earlier that I might be late, due to the fact that all the showings were at 3:00 p.m. I was trying to see as many as I could in three days. I was informed to come on when I could. I later understood that there was quite a gripe by many press women for this same kind of treatment. For that reason I cannot tell you what Channel is featuring this season. The collections were all lovely, well constructed and from some of the most beautiful fabrics in the world. They are very informal. The name and number is announced and that is it. No long descriptions are given. Each is ended with the presentation of a bridal gown. You sit in tiny gold chairs in the show rooms and look and look. When it is over, you can see why Paris leads the world in fashions. My only regret was that I could not purchase one of the creations that begin at $750.00. I also am sorry that I did not have an opportunity to see all of them, but there will be a tomorrow. Let's hope that I can return again and report to you fashionwise and otherwise. I left Europe with many realizations and thoughts. My experiences on the continent had taught me that there are many opportunities for all of us in the world. We as Negroes can be connecting links in making the world one world. We are accepted, we have ability, and we must venture out. Until we do, we should truthfully say, God Bless America."

WOMAN TO WOMAN Hospital costs go up and up but something about the hospital scene's going down. Beds are getting lower and lower. If the fall of the hospital bed continues its nearer-the-floor direction, there's a chance by the year 2,000 that progress will have moved us ahead to 20,000 years ago —Neolithic man's time and the hey-day of the grass mattress flung on the ground. A report, in the current issue of "The Modern Hospital," a journal for hospital administrators notes that in 1818 the extra high hospital bed was invented to prevent back strain of hospital personnel caring for patients in U. S. military hospitals. By 1924, the height of the hospital bed had been standardized at 27 inches from floor to top of spring—about 31.5 inches with mattress. The sick bed remained more or less at this height until the 1910's when early ambulation led to the development of beds which could be raised to accommodate the personnel and lowered to permit the patient to enter and exist safely. "All of this program has been highly desirable and is an indication of the intense interest. . . in the welfare and comfort of the patient," Modern Hospital reported. "But the sociologists apparently are not satisfied with these primitive aims. Now comes their desire to make hospital rooms more homelike, one phase of which is the convertible day bed to studio couch. What's worrying hospital administrators is that this bed stuff shows signs of going full circle and that someday they'll be told by the sociologists that the mattress on the floor is best yet. TO VISIT RED CHINA President Osvaldo Dorticos has accepted an invitation to visit Communist China, the government announced Tuesday. Dorticos, who will head the Cuban delegation to the conference of uncommitted nations opening in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, this Friday, plans to go to Peiping following state visits to Czechoslovakia and Russia. Indian Summer Ideal Time For Outdoor Dining Everyone knows that food tastes better when eaten outdoors, and from now until the first real nip of fall, is the peak of the outdoor dining season. The hearty Italian-type casserole given here, however, will prove immensely satisfying no matter where you serve it. And so will the fresh new melamine dinner service, so perfect for terrace meals, but equally appealing indoors on the coldest winter day. In addition to the usual place settings for eight, this new pattern includes a decorated salad bowl of really generous proportions, together with single handled decorated bowls that are as appropriate for hot soup as they are for chilled salad. As for the recipe you are about to add to your collection of top favorites, a word of warning should perhaps be spoken. Once you serve it, you are apt to go on serving it over and over again. One bride, who started out with this recipe five years ago, is still serving it for every important occasion and at least once every two weeks in between. Another hostess once had the recipe mimeographed to hand out to guests who invariably asked for it. "Casserole Napoli" is not Italian in the strict traditional sense, but it is a perfect companion for the charming Italian style nelamine dinnerware, shown here in a setting at the National Design Center in New York. On the day this picture was being made, two women from Indiana were visiting the Design Center and watched the proceedings with much interest. In adjusting the lights, the photographer's assistant knocked one of the plates off the table onto the marble chip covered, terrace. The visitors gasped in horror, expecting the plate to shatter, and had to be allowed to handle the lightweight, extremely durable melamine to convince themselves that it was not breakable Italian pottery. The glowing arrangement of fruit, which appears to be hand painted in the center of each piece, is a permanent part of the dinnerware and will never fade or chip. So, starting with the well designed, long-lasting melamine, let us proceed to one of the most universally popular dishes you can serve on it. Easy to prepare, you'll never forget it, once you have made it. 1 pkg. wide noodles, cooked as directed in salted water 1 1g. onion, sliced and sauted in 2 tbs, oil 1 lb. ground beef, added and cooked with onion. Add: 1 can tomato soup 1 can tomato paste 1 small can sliced mushrooms drained 1-2 lb. processed American cheese diced Simmer until cheese is well blended, add drained noodles, mix thoroughly and place in a 2-quart casserole. Bake uncovered in moderate oven until light brown on top Serves 6. Green peas are the vegetable of choice to go with this, but all that is really needed is a well-seasoned tossed salad and plenty of fresh, crusty Italian bread. You can top it off with spumoni or a spicy nut cake heaped with whipped cream.
