MONDAY, 'MARCH 22, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE a .PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU Why be a Plain Jane? By HELEN JAMESON It is true that ugly ducklings can be transformed into swans. It hap- pens time and again, to the aston. ishment of the beholder. Remem.- ber that girl who went to college when you did? Her hair was never right. If she had a permanent no. body would suspect it. Always rag-tags and bob.tails here and there. She was casual about her clothes, always seemed to select some dreary, drab colors. About her hats she was even more cas- ual, They had no style or snap. She was 'bright as chain lightning, this girl. An honor student. But the boys were not clanging ® her telephone, or taking her places. After college stie got a job. Then a better one. Finally she became an executive. She came in contact with well.dresseq women. It final- ly dawned upon her that there was no sense in being dowdy, that frumpiness is a definite handicap. She decided to apply that bright mind of hers to the' business of making herself attractive to the eye. She had never paid any attention to her figure; it had thickened amidships. She consulted a teach. er of physical education, went on a safe reducing diet, deleted girth, learned about good posture, de- veloped a smart, snappy shape That was the first step. It is sur- prising how dowdine~ will vanish when the carriage is splendid, the silhouette normal and of pleasing lines. She patronized a dress shop where she found a saleswoman of intelligence and good taste, put herself in her hands. She learned about the charming effects of soft, becoming colors and well-cut lines. Being. plain, she went in for simple effects that, after all, are superior in appearance to fussy stuff. She developed chic which, in the eyes of many of the most critical indi. viduals, means more than beauty and has a stronger appeal. Then she sought a beautytorium, went right through the good-looks hopper. A hair stylist gave her ex. pert attention. By that time she had some silvered locks and they 3-16 Pactra be Kine Postures Syoducate, lnc. She finally realized there was no sense in being dowdy. * FP» made her appear distinguished when arranged in an up-to-date mode. The subject of make-up had nev. er interested her. She had dabbed on a bit of rouge, reddened her lips. She was delighted when a facial operator showed her extctly tow to light up her eyes by using rouge faintly on the cheek bones and the eyelids, how to give rich- ing a soft gardenia powder and a lipstick of dull coral. She had her eyebrows remodel. ed. She had never given them a thought. The effect was startling. ly satisfactory. Plain Jane felt pleased with Gerself, She had al. ways had brains and poise, but, felt now she had smartness of appear- ance, the twin sister of beauty.

VITUS DANCE SYMPTONS CHOREA or St, Vitus dance is one of the mysterious ailments of the nervous system which seems to attack children almost exclusively. Starting with restlessness and the inability to sit still, it usually goes on until it has the child twitching and jerking almost con. stantly. These spasms or contrac. tions of the muscles are entirely out of the child's control and may become so severe as to make it im- possible for him to feed himself or to talk properly. It is scarcely any wonder that it often changes an obedient, happy child into one that is cross and irritable. Rheumatic Fever It is believed that this disorder may come from the same cause as rheumatic fever, a condition in which there are pain and swelling in the joints, together with more or less severe heart damage. And it is true that many children who have rheumatic fever al®b develop chorea. It hag recently been sug. gested, however, that in niany cases chorea or St. Vitus dance occurs alone and has, in these instances, no relation to rheumatic fever. There is a test known ag the sed- imentation test, which fielps to tell when infections of any sort are present in the body. This test is carried out by determining how rapidly the blood cells settle out of the blood, in a very small tube. If the child with chorea has a normal sedimentation rate 'and the heart is not affected, it is thought that the condition is not due to the same cause as rheumatic fever. Over one.half of more than 100 children with chorea who were studied between 1934 and 1947 had no evidence of rheumatic infection. z= Other Signs Noted On the other hand, when the sedimentation rate is increased in a child with chorea, active rheum. atic fever is usually found to be present, Other signs of acute rheumatic fever were noted in eight out of ten of the children who had a high sedimentation rate, and al. most two-thirds of these eventual. ly had some involvement of the heart. It is interesting to note that those children who developed chor- ea without rheumatic fever suffer. ed most severely from the emo. tional disturbances and changes in disposition which seem to be a part of this disorder. Wilfulness, out. breaks of temper, and odd behav- jor of all sorts were far more no- ticeable in this group than in those where chorea accompanied rheum. atic fever. On the other hand, there js a greater tendency for the chorea to recur in the rheumatic group. Cause Unknown Though much research on the subject has been done, we still do not know the .cause either for rheumatic fever or for chorea, or relationship between | the exact them. It may be that this new view of chorea as scmething quite apart from rheumatic fever will give medical scientists a new clue to the cause of both of these afflc. tions of chilchoced. Chorea usually can be cleared up with such methods as the fever treatment, or the injection of ty- phoid vaccine to produce fever at. tacks. Of course, complete rest is important, and sedatives or quiet- ing drugs also may be useful. Questions and Answers A Reader: I am a high school boy of fifteen, five feet, four inches tall. I come from a short family. Is there any way I could add a few inches to my height? Answer: Many doctors employ hormone injections to increase the height of very young children. At your age thes injections would be wortfaless, Sceme boys, however, centinue growing until they are 17 years of age, The important thing to remember is that success in life | depends on what you do, what you | make of yourfelf, and not on your height or physical appearance. HOUSEHOLD HINTS To remove candle wax stains from a tablecloth, scrape off as much as you can with a dull knife or spatula. Put the stained areas between white blotters and press far several minutes with a warn! iron, changing the blotters as they become soiled. If the stain remains, sponge with carbon tetrachloride. GLAMORIZING Use a Light Hand on Make-U By HELEN FOLLETT The light touch is very important in applying eye make-up. In using an eyebrow pencil, make a neat line at base of lashes; blend. LJ Commercial blushes are coy and modest, have gone into semi. retirement. The girl who sees eye to eye with beauticians who tell us to soft pedal on make-up gives a light sweep of the rouge pad over her cheek bones and lets it go at that. The quare.gee eyebrow has end. ed its term as a beauty frenzy, and is neatly streanflined with no way- farers spoiling the clear-cut pat. tern. The lipstick? You have your choice of many shades and tones. But don't select blindly. If you like a true red, go to it, but apply only a light film. There are bronzy reds that look grand with a skin that is creamy of coloring, wine shades that 'do something" for the blonde duckies. I you haven't experimented with eye shadows, why not give yourself a try-out? It is fun, and you may hit upon a happy make. up note. It is safest to choose a color that is closest to the color of your eyes, if they are blue, green or hazel, The brown.eyed * LJ beauty seeker will find a soft French blue becoming. In all cases the application should subtly inten. sify eye beauty without being de. tected. Of course shadows are only for evening wear. One Rule There is one rule to be kept in mind when indulging in shadows. They should be applied to the up- per lip only and should be kept off the bony structure immediately above the eye. Stop well short of the eyebrow. The right place is that little groove that you can feel with your finger when your eyes are closed. Start at the inner corner of the lid, sweep outward. Do not extend the pigment beyond the far termi. nal of the eyebrow. Do ~careful blending alo; the edges of the application, e must be a smar. ty at this job. As a final touch to eye make.up, some girls like to use an eyebrow pencil along the base of the lashes. With a sharp pencil make a neat line which extends to a V at the outer corners of each eye. VERY DRESSY blouses are liked for late afternoon wear with suits or with a separate skirt to form a pretty dress. Sky-blue satin as a foundation for sheer, Chantilly-type black lace is the formula for a pretty blouse made with a small Peter Pan collar and full sleeves. LY NE GAINING STEADILY in popular- ity is the coat or jacket with cape detail. Black, blue and gray stri- ped worsted makes a smart suit, the stirpes used horizontally on the jacket, and vertically on the skirt. A soft shoulder capelet, with small high-placed revers, gives the look of a shoulder yoke. LE VERY NEAT little sailors with gay trimming are nice for the tail- ored or softly-tailored suit. Black shiny straw is used for a small off- face sailor trimmed with a wreath of red cherries that are massed in flat clusters against the crown in center front, Upstanding soft green wings complete the tsimming detail. FF THAT EXTRA-SPECIAL little dark dress that seems so right for almost any daytime occasion might well be a model ¢f navy or black silk chiffon. A pretty model acquires a hippy look with bands and bands of shirring.

Even if so far in your life-time you haven't had to write a thank- | you note for an unwelcome gift, the chances are you'll have to at some time or other... so why not gallantly accept this challenge with, a grown-up point of view and | write your note at once?
