THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN FRIDAY, MAY 21, 1948 BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Pleasing Voice Adds Beauty By HELEN American women have a reputa- tion the world over for style, beau tifully shod feet, chic hair-dos. Finel Grand! They also have the reputa- tion for having unpleasant, shrill voices. Of course, it isn't fair to put them all in one bracket, But the painful truth is that the voice, as an element of charm and feminine loveliness, is given scarcely a thought. : If the voice is pitched too high, if too much volume is used, it is bound to be unpleasant. It isn't ne- cessary to take lessons in elocution 'to correct these troubles. Just use the old head, that's all. A flat, un~ musical quality, a monotonous range of tones and slovenly enun- ciation are other defects. Make it a practice to give the vowels an open sound. Pronounce each word with clearness and precision, and you will cultivate a beautiful expressive quality. Think of the efforts women make to be pleasing to the eye, the vast Sums they spend for grand dry goods and treatments at the beau- tery. Figure remodeling goesfon all the time. Tne hair-do must be the latest frenzy. Sweet perfumes ap- peal to the nose. Yet little is done to make woman attractive to the ear. The voice may be hard, brittle, rasping or shrill and nothing is| done about it. How does it get that way? By careless speaking habits that can be corrected. When the talkies took the place of the silent pictures, many a love- ly star had to retire for the time being because her voice was lack- ing in charm. Did she stay retired, out of business? She did not. She sought a teacher of voice culture, had her voice made over. It has been done many times. Many pub- lic speakers, men as well as women, have taken a course of professional training, been benefitted. The weman who is in the habit of - breathing deeply will be more likely to have a pleasing voice than the shallow breather. One should empty the lung spaces, not permit stale air to remain in the lower cells. Breathe with full lung capa- JAMESON A sweet voice makes a strong appeal. * city. You will not only have a bet- ter-controlled voice, but lovelier coloring in your cheeks, brisker cir- culation to give you energy. When speaking, make an effort to emit tones that are crystal clear and musical; then you will never have the nasal tone that is any- thing but a charm asset, Think of the women you know whose voices do not qualify. Those who keep everlastingly on one key. Those who shout and insult your eardrums. Tacse who shrill, Those who mumble, Those who run their words together, talk' too fast and those that uh-uh before they can get their speaking engine going. A sweet voice makes a strong ap- peal to the members of the sterner sex. TIPS FOR TEENS Fun That's Easy on the Billfold By ELINOR WILLIAMS Remember the letter frcm an ex- GI that was printed recently in this polumn? He had just returned from Europe and reported that American jes expected too much money to spent on every date--that they never invite a boy to spend an evening in their homes and aren't good at conversation. Here's a girl's answer to his letter: "I am just out of my 'teens but our column has always attracted y attention and I still follow it avidly. The column from 'GI' prov- ed very interesting. However, I think 'GI' should be enlightened about a few things. "The 'Take me here, take me there' types of girls are relatively few, and he should not base his judgment on the few whom he has met in his condemnation of Ameri- can girls, - "Most girls love an evening spent at home dancing or playing games. They like a walk on a nice evening § or a date taking in a service or so- cial at a local church. If the boy happens to be pretty special to her, # and their dates are many, it's not likely that she would expect him to flash the billfold every night they date. "Probably 'GI' has not suggested to a girl that they stay in for an evening. It's two to one she'll say 'yes' if he does, as the young man usually makes the sh#gestions for the plans for the evening and the girl follows them. "I hope 'GI' won't give up Amer- jcan girls as hepeless, because there are too many nice girls to every boy, nice or otherwise, in every city, com- munity or town. What I think of the #imerican boy--well, that's another jory!" she concludes. She's right that it's usually up to the boy to make suggestions for the evening when he dates, but it might be awkward for him to suggest "staying in at your house tonight." It's up to the girl he dafes to sug- gest an evening at home occasion- ally with a few definite pastimes such as games or records, dancing or candy-making, etc., in mind. or tips on easy streamlining ex- er to improve your posture and appearance send a stamped, self-ad- dressed envelope to Elinor Williams at this paper.)

DeWilde &¢ Penhale Phone 2497W ---- C Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood (AP) --Young Claude Jarman, the memorably Jody of "The Yearling," indicates that a life-long film career is not for him. Claude's ambition is to study agriculture and he's aiming at that goal. Now five-foot-seven and ap- proaching high school age, he still has a few years of film work left. + The lad now is cavorting with Lassie in "Sun in the Morning." His next film probably will be "The Secret Garden," to be made in England with Margaret O'Brien and Dean Stockwell. Fred Astaire happened to re- mark to Irving Berlin: "I suppose now that you've had 'Alexander's Ragtime Band,' 'Blue Skies' and 'Easter Parade,' you'll undoubtedly have a picture called 'White Christ mas'." So the tunesmith whipped up one and Fred and Bing will star in it at Paramount next year, Michael Kirby will continue as Sonja Henie's skating partner in her ice show, but he'll have four months a year for film work. "Eventually I want to give up skat- ing for acting," says Kirby, who now is opposite Sonja in "Countess of Monte Cristo." "Acting pays more in the long run..." Hollywood confusion: MGM is now filming "Connecticut Yankee" with June Allyson. Last year, Para- mount made "Conn. Yankee" with Bing Crosby. The MGM version is a sequence for the Rodgers-Hart biography, "Words and Music." Paramount had to write its own music because MGM owned the ori- ginal score. "The Pirate" (MGM) presents Judy Garland and Gene Kelly in a frantic musical romance with a pinweight plot. The film's greatest asset is the terrific dancing of Kelly, who returns to the screen in a big way afler one false start.

GLAMORIZING When You Wash Your Own Hair od; HELEN FOLLETT When you set your hair after a shampoo, Myrna Dell, of the movies, recommends using two fingers, securing the curl with a hair pin. . L With the flat top hairdo and a scarcity of curls, a busy woman can dispense with the professional shampoo. Not that she always wants to--it's grand to relax and feel nimble fingers frictioning your scalp--but time may be on her heels. 8he just can't spare that forty-five minutes that must be spent under the dryer. Sometimes the beauty budget must be cut down. By laun- dering her head she feels that she is saving time and, money. Home shampooing is not always what it should be, however. If soap is used there should be two or three applications, each one followed by a rousing rinsing 'with a bath spray and a strong current of water as hot as the scalp can comfortably tear, A vinegar rinse is a help. Add three tablespoonfuls of vinegar to a washbowl of water, tribution. Cream and oil shampoo mediums | are gaining popularity all the time. | Not more than a tablespoonful of the cream is needed for a thorough job of hair renovating. Rub it into the scalp, put some on the ends of the tresses, if you have a mop of shoulder length. With your head over the wash- bowl, keep adding water. The cream will foam like egg white. Spend at least tén minutes-en vigorous fric- tioning of the scalp, adding more REAL ELEGANCE is personi- fied in a town coat, a full-length model of lustrous black worsted back satin. Shoulders of snug bod- ice are cut in one with three-quar- ter-length, cuffed sleevs. Double row of tiny buttons from high closing to basque waist. Skirt full- ness in soft, unpressed plcats. LE EXPENSIVE, but not extrava- gant, is the finely tailored silk suit, since it can be worn for so many occasions and almost through the year. Tie satin, finely checked in red and gray, makes a handsome suit. The short jacket is stiffened and flared 'around the hips, where it follows the full lines of the skirt. The shawl collar rolls to a two-button closing at the slim waist. LE A NEW TIE-UP is seen in a beautiful shoe in sun-warmed tan, with hose dyed to match and a chiffon scarf also in the same shade. : J * ob @ VERY TRIM little ensemble are first favorites this year.

The adults in our beauty class may re- sent that suggestion, but teen agers aren't always careful about keeping their beauty tools fastidiously clean.

BUNDESEN, M.D. MANY CURES FOR DISORDERS WE can, of 'course, never have too many remedies but, when it too many remedies but, when it would almost seem as if in these the doctor has too many to choose from. This duplication of medicines, however, is more apparent than real because it is matched by the number of different kinds of germs which may cause trouble in this area, some of which will be over- come by one drug but be imper- vious to others. Thus, the best treatment can only be decided af- ter the types of germs causing thé infection have been identified. Controlling Infect! Perhaps the oldest drug used in the treatment of infections of the urinary tract is known by the long name of hexamethyleneamine which is useful in controlling in- fections due to certain types of bacilli, This substance is active against germs only when the urine is acid. Then, too, its usefulness is further limited by the fact that in certain cases it may cause bladder irritation when employed over the period of time--10 to 14 days -- needed to get rid of the infection. Another time-tested remedy is called mandelic acid. It, also, is ef- fective against infection with cer- tain types of bacilli, but it, too, must be used when the urine is acid. Unfortunately, the mandelic acid often causes sickness at the stomach and vomiting when it is used over a period of days or weeks. The sulfonamide drugs have proved quite satisfactory as uriny antisceptics. They also work well against many bacteria called cocci as well as some bacilli. The sul- fonamide drug known as sulfaceta- mide appears particularly valuable, not only because it is a good germ- killer, but also because it is not particularly toxic. It has the fur- ther advantage of being rapidly eliminated through the kidneys, and thus gets into the urine in high concentration. Penicillin is quite effective against urinary infections due to Staphylocci and Streptococci. Sometimes the uriny tract infec- tion is due to a combination of germs; that is, there are both coc- ci and bacilli. In such instances, the penicillin may not be effective because bacilli produce a substance penicillin. In these cases, it is sug- factiamide be used. The drugs are gested that both penicillin and sul- factiamide be used. The drugs are continued for a period of from sev- en to nine days. It is rarely neces- sary to carry out the treatment for a lcnger period of time. When uriny tract infections oc- curr with such symptoms as pain, burning on emptying of the blad- der, and fever, a careful study must be made to determine the type of germs causing the difficulty; then the doctor will decide just what treatment may be employed most effectively. : QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS MS.: I am twenty-three years of age. I have noticed a sudden, ra- pid growth of hair on my arms and legs. What is causing this? Answer: The exact cause of su- perfluous hair is not known, al- though it is presumed to be due to some disorder of the glands of in- ternal secretion. A thorough study by a physician would be advisable to determine whether or not any glandular dis- order is present. HOUSEHOLD HINT Hard-cooked eggs won't be 0 likely to turn dark if you crack the shells immediately after you re- move the eggs from the heat, and let them stand in cold water for about 10 minutes. They will peel more easily too. When you slice them, dip the knife blade or wire cutter in warm water. This reduces the possibility of the egg breaking when it is being sliced.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAR Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Please . . . my mother and father and I would like your decision about something that is very, very important to me. As a graduation present to me (the first use enclos- ing in my graduation invitations and announcements), they are giv- ing me some personal cards. I've read in your column that I must have "Miss" engraved before my name, and that initials on formal cards should not be used. But I detest my middle name so much that I always use an initial for it. It irritates me to have to do this, be- cause I love my first name (Mar- garet) and I'm mighty proud of my last name. Now here comes our wish for your decision. I'd like to omit my middle name entirely (not even an initial "left standing for it"!), and my parents say I may do this if you think it's proper. Margaret B. Welcome! . you've certainly come to the right person to advise you, urge you, to omit that middle name you "detest." I'm not enthus- iastic about middle names anyway, and definitely not if the person doesn't like her or his middle name, considers it unattractive, or mean- ingless or awkward. Very often, too, a middle name spoils the rhythm of a name . . . this probably is true in your name, since your first name with three syllables, is so charm- ingly rhythmic with your one-syl- lable last name. Too oftzn middle names are "bestowed" quickly or unthinkingly, or "just to fill out the name." Very often people, as in your case, take a stand and drop the mid- dle name on some definite occasion such as having the first visiting- cards engraved. So, since your mo- ther and father have no obpection to your dropping your middle name, I see no reason in the world why you shouldn't. Here's your chance . .. take it! When You Recive a Commencement Invitation Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am always at a loss to know what I am expected to do when I receive an invitation to the Com- mencement exercises of someone I don't know particularly well. . . for example, the daughter or son of an acquaintance, not a relative or intimate friend. What is the prop- er thing to do? Is it necessary to send a present? Grace N. Since an invitation to Commence- ment exercises is usually a formal invitation, the first thing for you to do is to send a formal reply, an acceptance or regret. This not only is courteous, but also is important to those who have the responsibility of making the seating-arrange- ments. Then you should either write a note of good wishes to the gradu- ate, or send a telegram of good wishes on the day of Commence- ment. The important point is that you must not ignore this invitation. To a graduate you know only casually, it is not at all necessary to send a graduation gift. But it is, pidper to send a gift if you wish to and if your budget is agreeable to this gesture. ! He Asks The Girl . . . "Table D"Hote Or a La Carte?" Dear Mrs. Beeckman: When a man takes a girl to dine in a resturant where there is a table d'hote meal as well as a la carte, is it proper for him to ask her, when the menu-cards have been given to them, which she pre- fers? Bill Yes . . . this is not only proper, but almost always makes the ore dering easier and simpler. (This is particularly true when they don't know each other well, and the gir doesn't know his tastes-in-order- ing and the status of his purse!) The man may say, "Does the regu- lar dinner (or 'lunch') interest you?" or "They usually have a very ged table d'hote dinner here . . would you like to look over the suggestions and see if you would like to choose this? Or shall we or der a la carte?" GRACE IN LITTLE THINGS By Mrs. Beeckman "Grace in the little affairs of life is a thing which has to be learned."
