HANDS OF WAR 1943

 "Clever hands. Ready hands. Hands at work. Millions of them in hospitals and offices, at machines in our great war plants. For them, a new nail polish: On Duty, by Cutex, an unobtrusive shade for war work. It is shown here on hands at a drill press at the Delehanty Institute."

THE MANDARIN MAKE-UP 1955

 

The Mandarin Make-Up

"She's a changed woman. From her glistening widow's peak to the subtle curve of her lips, the lady on the page is beginning something new.

Her skin has the clear, unmarred perfection of white porcelain.

Her eyebrows are plucked and pencilled to slender, winging arcs.

And her eyes have the deep-lashed, inpertinent slant of one of Lady Murasaki's classic Japanese princesses. These are the effects of the Mandarin make-up - a fashion that arrived, this autumn, in Paris on the great wave of Far Eastern influences."
