PRIDAY, APRIL 27, 1951 z THE DAILY TIMES-CAZETTE PAGE NINE a-- ~ OF IN THIS WEEK IN BRITAIN :- Accelerate Naval Re-Armament AN OFFICIAL RELEASE Bix new British destroyers will be ready for their trials before the end of this year, and another two early next year. The Navy's full re-armament, to- gether with current construction, will add no fewer than 232 new ships to Britain's existing strength. This will include powerful carriers, eight destroyers, and 24 frigates. Britain's First Lord of the Ad- miralty, Viscount Hall, does not disagree with the figure of total submarine strength of the Soviet Fleet as being about 360 and says that the Soviet Navy is also pow- erfully equipped for mining both by sea and alr, Canadian Poets Enter Festival Competition 79 Canadian entries have been submitted in the Festival of Brit- ain Poetry Prize Competition con- ducted by the Arts Council of Great Britain. By the closing date, 2,080 entries had been received, from all over the world, for the two categories of the oontest, ie. single poems of 300 lines or more, and collections of 6 to 12 poems, each 50 lines or less in length. The judges hope to announce the awards before the opening of the Festival, and during the Lon- don season of the Arts, selections and extracts from prize-winning poems will be included in poetry re- citals atranged by the Apollo So- ciety. Princess Mary's Nursing = Service Re-Established A nursing corps that rendered invaluable service in World War II --Princess Mary's RAF. Nursing Service--has just been reconstitut- ed. It is open to former members of the unit as well as to civilian nurses. Eligible volunteers will be grant- ed commissions as officers in the Reserve, while remaining in civilian employment. They will not be call- ed on to give part-time service in peace time, but should an emer- gency arise, they will be required to serve full time. Wales In Festive Mood A Welsh town with a tongue- twisting name of Llanrwst (pro- nounced hlan-roost) will soon be ringing with the sound of famed Welsh singing and the tapping of dancing feet, for it is the head- quarters of the National Eistedd- fod being held during the Festival of Britain. And on thé banks of the River Conway, where the bar- dic meeting first took place, there will be honored a literature al- most as old as that of the Greeks j and Romans. Even more colorful will be the international Eisteddfod at Llangol- len (hlan-go-thlen) with its many teams from overseas. Turkey is one of the new-comers this year, and, like the other visiting groups, will be in national costume. In- formal folk songs and dances will take place in the village streets. The B.B.C. Welsh Orchestra and chorus, the Boyd Neel Orchestra, the Aberysewyth Madrigal Singers and the Welsh Festival Choir will contribute two plays, Bach's Mass in B. Minor and Arwell Hughes's oratorio, Mollant Dewi. Like the Festival Choir, which will be heard in several places throughout the Festival, the Na- tional Welsh Opera Company will also go on tour. It numbers 140 voices formed on two choruses, one based on Cardiff and one on Swan- sea. A Welsh firm has been produced, showing life in a typical North Wales mining-cum-farming town. Locale of the film is Ammanford. St. David's Cathedral, at the westernmost tip of Wales, has been chosen for national services. HM. the King will inspect the new steel works at Margam on July 17, and will visit Cardiff on the following day. Cardiff will also be host to the travelling exhibition ship---HM.S. Campania. Jewellery Show at B.LF. Britain's jewellery, silverware and kindred trades are taking over the whole of Olympia's National Hall at the British Industries Fair, op- ening April 30th. The craftsmen's sly sense of hue mour keeps popping up in amusing Elegant Lace Cloth To Crochet animal brooches of silver, hand-set with rhinestones or marcasite, and their subjects range from a slinky cat with a knowing wink to a sly little soft-eyed deer. A graceful ballerina dances on twinkling toes, har skirts a-swirl with glittering stones. In more serious vein, the silver- smiths are exhibiting beautifully wrought tea and coffee services. Sets in the modern style, with clean flowing lines, offer a striking con- trast to traditional hand-chased pleces with ornate feet and snaky spouts, Glamour At The Festival Glammor--as in "Gussie"--will be the keynote of at least one exhibit at the Festival of Britain. Colonel Teddy Tinling of Lon- don, the designer who raised eye- brows at Wimbledon with the out- fits he created for "Glamorous Gussie" Moran, is putting on a "one-man show", in the Centre Court at Wimbledon, that promises to be an eye-opener. One of the tennis dresses he is exhibiting is of nlyon lace with matching bra and briefs; another features a check design in wash- able gold paint on white organdy. Colonel Tinling favours extreme- ly full skirts and briefs--as he calls them--that match the dresses, and all his creations are masterpieces of tailoring. He uses only fabrics that wash well, without stretching or grow- ing limp or yellowing--for he in- sists that tennis clothes must be-- and remain-- pure white. Guipere lace is one of his favorites as it af- fords full scope to his imagination and skill, Subtle Eye Make-Up Brings Out True Color Beauty Expert States "Excess eye make-up is now as outmoded as skirts above the knee," declares Madame Helena Rubinstein, international beauty authority and forerunner of beau- ty fashions, who points out that to- day the trend is toward the subtle look in eye make-up. Barly last spring -when women seriously became interested in eye- make-up for daytime wear, the ex- aggerated eye make-up was in vogue, and everywhere women ac- centuated eye lashes and deep eye shadow, Now, fickle fashion has changed again, and many a woman who felt the eye make-up too bold will rejoice in the subtle make-up now popular, "Most fashions are overdone at the start," declares Madame Rubin- stein, who cites lipstick in the 1920's bringing forth the Stung" and "Cupid's Bow" fashions. "Now everyone uses lipstick to flat- ter her individual features, and this is true today of eye make-up." For evening, you may wish eye- make-up to be a little more strik- ing. Try either gold or platinum luminous eye shadow, just a touch over your regular luminous eye shadow (opalescent, jade, life blue, blue green, blue) to give your eyes a light, sparkly appearance. If you are the type that can wear dra- matic evening make-up, a sequin or two above one eye will add a touch of glamour. Oily mascara remover pads serve a two-fold purpose. They remove your mascara, and keep your eye- lide soft and youthful. Avoid large gobs of mascara by keeping your brush clean and using a minimum of mascara on your brush--dis- tributing the mascara evenly. Don't use "accent" lines at the ends of your eyes if you have a tendency toward crow"s feet. Always blend your eye shadow in smoothly and evenly, and give your eyebrows a good brushing with the eyebrow brush to make sure no face powder spoils your eye make- up. In short--keep your eye make-up subtle! It may take a little longer to carefully apply your make-up to make it look subtle, but you'll find the extra seconds worth the bother.

He described the town and its peoples in many letters and ms. Cowper boarded with Mrs. Mary Uuwin, a widow at "Orchard Side," a red-brick house on the south of the market place. This house has now become the Cowper Mu- seum, and many things associated with the poet's life are to be seen there. Every room is named after one of his friends, and his own bedroom is now called "The John Gilpin Room" after his well-known poem. Cowper, however, wrote "John Gilpin" in a little summer-house in the garden. This tiny plaster and lath. building with a red tiled roof can still be seen, Cowper used to write in it during the summer, and described the gardeneas he looked out on gay roses, honeysuckle and pinks. The parlor of "Orchard Side" is familiar to many readers of Cow- per's writings, and it was in this room that he wrote "The Task," one of the great poems of the 18th century. . The Lace-Makers Olney was a great centre of Buckingham lace-making for many centuries, but in Cowper's day the industry began to decline, and dis- tressed by the pove:ty of the cot- tage workers, the poet made suc- cessful efforts to collect funds for them. Today, the descendants of the women who used to make this fine lace are busy producing boots and shoes. i The parish church of Olney is one of the most important in the county. It was built in the 14th century and its spire is 185 feet high. The tower is in four dimin- ishing tiers, each of which has a gabled window. There are some curious medieval heads, symbolic of joy and sorrow, under the para- pet of the chancel. Situated on the River Ouse, Ol- ney is surrounded by pleasant rural walks, The Oliff, described by Cowper as "a beautiful terrace sloping gently down to the Ouse," lies to the west of the town, while the tree known as Cowper's Oak stands in a field on the county boundary. Many interesting old villages cluster round Olney. Close to the county border is Hanslope which a century ago was a village of lace- makers. Hanslope lies on a hill, and the spire of its ancient church is a landmark which can be seen many miles to the north in the English Midlands. There are many stone-built cote tages and inns in the village, which has been there since the 17th cen- tury and in summertime its thatch- ed post office is covered with wis teria. There is an Elizabethan dovecot in its old farm. * HATMAKER'S HINT A hatmaker tells us never to lay a homburg flat on its brim. Either rest it on the edge of curled brim and side of crown, or upside down. This will help the hat retain its proper shape. REFRESH! DRINK FOR YOUR... HONOR "MR. G." Monte Carlo, Monaco--(CP)--A memorial plaque to King Gustav V of Sweden has been erected near the tennis courts where the late king was a familiar figure for many years. Swedish and French net stars who often played with "Mr, G," as he was known on the courts, unveiled the plaque, TEREST TO WOMEN -~ a -------------- Variety of Fastenings Interesting Feature Of Imported Suits By MURIEL NARRAWAY London--(CP)--You may think a suit just a skirt and jacket with buttons and pockets fulfilling a use- ful purpose. If so, take a look at the latest couture designs shown in both Lon. don and Paris and you'll see just how wrong you can be, On close study, buttoning will emerge as a fundamental part of good design, as individual as a thumbprint. And like a thumbprint, there is a lot of variation. For instance, com- pare the many methods of fasten- ing used by leading designers on both sides of the Channel, London's Victor Stiebel gives im- portance to the peplum of a plain, classic suit by curving the front and ending the cross-over in a sharp diagonal point, secured by large buttons. Buttoning from waist to bust is then perfectly. straight, lend- ing even greater emphasis to the diagonal peplum slant. A silk afternoon suit by Digby Morton with straight buttoning from bust to hips has scalloped hem to the jacket front. Draped pockets give hip emphasis and the loose ends to a pocket bow, flowing freely, give side interest to the skirt. Uses Check Facings Jean Desses gives French chic and a diagonal slant to a plain jacket by the use of check facings. The Jacket edge Is thrown back from collar to hem in an ample diagonal fold that complements the turn- back on the opposite peplum edge. There is no buttoning to dusturb the clean-cut line from collared neck to hem. The waist is held by a narrow belt. Whether English or French, but- ton-styling is interesting and smart. Charles Creed gives a military look by means of button-tabs bridging the gap to a jacket that is not quite edge-to-edge. Matching but- tons down each side give a triple- button effect. A debonair "dandy" look is achieved by Jean Desses in a double-breasted jacket that buttons only to the waist. The peplum is cut away in a long oblong, the edges of which are decorated with buttons from waist to hem.- An apron front Is the work of Plerre Balmain. A double-breasted jacket is buttoned from collor to just before the walst. This gives a squared lap-over effect to a curved cut-away peplum. Hardy Amies accentuates a In Jhe Community double-breasted jacket by means of a wide double curve. The outward curves at bust and hips are comple- mented by double buttoning. The inward curve at waist has only. one button. This gives a distinctive five- button effect. After April 28th DIAL 5-1127 MOTOR CITY (RADIO) CAB 9 PRINCE ST. until April 28th CALL 5234 VIGOR OIL Co.
