Healthy, Scrubbed
Look Passe; Must
Appear Mysterious
NEW YORK. Jan. It. (UP)—
The scrubbed, natural look is on
its way out. American women are
about to become slant-eyed charm-
ers, with cupid’s bow mouths and a
gaunt, dramatic look.
“1 hate to see it happen," said
Harry Conover, head of a modeling
agency..“But the radiant, healthy
American girl is passe. American
girls are struggling to look like
mysterious foreign agents. A
slant-eyed model can get more
work than you can shake a stick
at.”
Tape Gives The Effect.

of 21-year-old Model Ma -tha Braun

with Negro nightclub singer Billy
Daniels. *
Mrs. Carl Braun Sr. was nearly
hysterical denying that her new
son-in-law was a Negro.
“I certainly would have known
if he ie colored," Mrs. Braun said.
“He told me he is of French and
Spanish origin with perhaps some
Indian blood in him. He has

“They use sootch tape close to
the hairline to pull up the corners
of their eyes. Then they cover the
tape with a hat or a swirl of hair,”
Conover explained.
One model even eonfeemd to try-

And Deputy City Clerk Joseph
Muilabel!i at Weehawken, N. J.,
where the pair were married Mon-
day, said Daniels gave his race
as “Negro” on the marriage appli-
cation form.
Mrs. Braun, whose husband is
a well-to-do Lowell business man,
said she went to New York several

a dark line. At the corners of the
eyes the line is extended upward

and presided over the matters per-

Mrs. Nona Wilson Wright led
the opening prayer. The hemming
of cup towels entertained the ladies
and a dainty refreshment plate was
served. Group 1, whose captain is
Mrs. R. F. Manning, served as
hostess for the occasion.

Daniels and his tall, willowy
bride now are honeymooning on a
ship bound for South America. A
professional model and radio and
television bit player, the girl met
Daniels three years ago while she
was attending Semple School in
New York.
Mrs. Braun said she wasn’t told
of the wedding until her daughter
telephoned her with the news just
before the couple embarked on the
S. S. Italia Monday.
“While this marriage isn’t what
we planned for our daughter,”
said Mrs. Braun,, “we realize that
it is her life and that love is
stronger than family influence
and we can’t stand in the way.”
She said that Martha had had
offers of marriage from many
wealthy men including a Lawrence,
Mass., youth soon to inherit a
half-million dollars.
“This young man did all he
could to persuade Martha to marry
” whe said. “But in view of the
fact that she has made her own
choice, I can only hope she will
be happy. All her father and 1
want is her happiness.” „

The 210-pound mother, Mrs.

the food to the cat instead.”
The parents, who admitted neg-

Eight New Autos
For White House
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12 (UP)—
The White House is getting eight
new automobiles—long, black Lin-
coln limousines.
Press Secretary Charles G. Ross
said the Ford Motor Co., under a
lease arrangement, would replace
eight five-passenger Lincolns now
in the White House motor pool.
There are more than 20 vehicles in
the pool.
He said the larger cars were re-
quested because they are better
for ceremonial processions involv-
ing the president and visiting
dignitaries. t*. A>jk
The White House has been leas-
ing automobiles since 1910 from
various companies. Ross said a con-
tract with General Motors expired
about a year ago and the business
was switched to Ford.
Ross said no special ornamenta-
tion had been ordered for the eight
new cars.
Oa a report that the interior in-
struments on the new cars would
be gold-plated, Ross said, “If the
Foro Company has seen fit to em-
hpllish them, that is the company’s
concern.”
The car used most frequently by
President Truman is a Packard
limousine. This is not being re-
placed.

In 1950, the reasons for moving
up to Cadillac will become so
gfeat, that if you contemplate
the purchase of any car outside
the lowett-prica field—yea should
set the new Cadillacs first!
Here are some of the things
you may look forward to seeing
when America's most renowned
motor car builder unveils its
offerings for the ensuing year.
You will see four wholly new
series of cars—all with entirely
new bodies-^gorgeously restyled.
You will see cars whose per-
formance is so outstanding that
to drive one of them for a tingle
hour it to want It forever.
You will see scores of advance-
ments and improvements which
add to quality, endurance, econ-
omy and dependability.
• 1
And, finally, you will see all this
in a car whose lowest-priced model
will actually cost less than certain
models of numerous other makes!
By allNmeans, see the new Cad-
illacs before you act in 1950. They
will give you the new yardstick
for motor car quality—and value.
