MONDAY, MAY 31, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU Voice Control Shows Self-Control By HELEN JAMESON Lucky is the woman whose voice is "like music to the ear." Unfor- tunate is the one who is a shouter or a shriller. A voice specialist says that the calm woman with a sense of inner harmony nearly always has a low, pleasing voice, while the one whose tones are sharp and metallic lacks poise and composure. She also adds that loud speakers lack fastidious feelings. They have no respect far human ears. They make themselves obnoxious. Many women talk too fast, a habit that does not add to charm of manner. They appear to be in a state of excitement or nervous strain, so are not restful, easy com- panions. The commonest fault, of course, is using too much volume. There is never any reason for that. Mere noise does not make one more understandable unless the listener is deaf. There should be warmth and sincerity in the voice, if it is to have appeal. Voice-control is largely a matter of self-control. Professional speak- ers check their voices frequently. They study the timing of their words as well as the quality of their voices. How you time the words you utter will have much to do with their meaning and the ideas you wish to convey. You can say "good morning" in such a way that it is a friendly welcome, Spoken in cold tones, it has 'a completely différent mean- ing; it can be downright hostile. Test your voice by reading aloud: Endeavor to enunciate clearly. Never fall inté the habit of keeping to a monotone, We all know dron- ers who mutter on and on, bore one to tears. It is a mistake to give undue, un- necessary emphasis--as does. the girl who tells you that something is perfectly wonderful or perfectly terrifio,- who seems to thump out adjectives as she would accent notes on a piano. Let your voice express a friendly personality, no matter to whom you Unfortunate is the girl who shouts and shrills. * op» are talking, whether it be the grand lady of your neighborhood or the guy who comes to collect the gar- bage: The idea is to make pleasant talk a part of yoursef, a practice from which you will never depart, no matter what the occasion may be. Be your natural, best self and your voice will be pleasing. It is posible to form the habit of giving all vowels an open sound, pronouncing each word with preci- sion and using a sufficient range of tones to avoid the flat, unmusical quality that one hears so often, even among women of culture and good manners. Fashion Hashes NO END to clever ideas for rainy day togs. Latest is a smart rain. coat complete with a full cape which is detachable, to be worn as a hood when occasion demands. LE THERE'S GRACE and charm in the big hat with the brim that curves up softly in front and dips in back. This is the line taken by an open crown model of coffee-col= ored Milan straw, the curving brim edged with ruchings of wheat-color- ed nylon net, and trimmed under the brim with sprays of wheat held by a coffee-brown velvet bow. * +B SUMMER EVENINGS will see the cotton dance frock at its pret- tiest. Sheer white cotton sprigged all over in cornflower blue, is used for an ankle-length dress with a three-tiered finely pleated skirt. Low, round neckline and: brief puffed sleeves. The slim waist is girdled with a two-ineh-wide sash of sapphire blue velvet ribbon. > +» PLENTY to choose from when it comes to the silk suit, since this is one of the season's most popular fashions. Cocoa-brown silk crepe, with a print of white lilies of the valley with big green leaves, is used for a smart costume. The deep V- necked bodice is contrasted with a very wide pleated skirt and self cummerbund, and is topped with a brief bolero. * ob op VERY DEEP, wide, to-one-side necklines softened by flanges of self material or tulle appear in many imports selected by important stores and manufactures for 'adap- tation. Some necklines have big ro- ses of chiffon holding holds of stiff- ened tulle, but always the trend is to the side. * Sp PEERING OUT into the fashion future, we see endorsement of ele- phant gray as the important neu- tral dark tone, to replace navy which has had such a sensational run tis year, Elephant gray for silk suits as well as dresses and coats is in the works, as are accessories in this darkish gray tone. * % 9 COOL OFF, come Summer, with a _ pretty cotton robe.

Chesterfield, England -- (CP)-- Lessons in using cosmetics make "Plain Janes" unhappy and pretty girls conceited, the archdeacon of Chesterfield wrote in his parish magazine.

Dilworth - Harrison wrote that one danger would lie with the "frustrated female who may glean some inverted satisfac tion by assisting her pupils to suc- ceed where she has failed." New Radios Boon To Lovely Women By LESLIE BRODIE Canadian Press Correspondent Sydney,' Australia--(CP)--Wom- én of Australia's outback will soon be able tog ossip with their neigh- bors hundreds of miles away. The Flying Doctor service is in- stalling new radio transmitting sets in the lonely homes of the far west. These new radio transmitters cost- ing $350 have been made specially for them in Adelaide. They will do away with the old pedal wireless sets that have served the outback for many years. In its early days the Flying Doc- tor network was used only for medical calls, but as the number of links increased it was used by the homesteaders as a means of communicating with one another and exchanging news. Dr. A. R. U. Vickers, flying doc- tor operating from the Charleville, Queensland base, told a reporter that in the old days when the sets were generated by bicycle pedals the men knew the women would stop talking when they got tired of pushing the pedals. - "Now with the modern vibrator sets they say the women never stop talking--because their tongues never get tired," added Dr. Vickers. With the new units there is no limit to the number of talkers who take the air, Most popular time is around about 530 p.m. when they settle down for about an hour to discuss the news from the home- steads scattered over thousands of square miles. A memorial cairn is being erected to the founder of the Flying Doc- tor Services, Rev. Doctor John Flynn. The simple memorial to commemorate "the best loved man of the interior" will stand in soli- tude on the middle of a sun-baked arid plain in Central Australia. -------------- THE EYES HAVE IT Of all hazards affecting the aver- age Canadian, those which may damage the eyes are among the most far-reaching in their effects upon his life, happiness and liveli- hoot.

Among the first signs of abnor- mal eye conditions may be itching of the lids, styes, redness of the lids or eyes, burning of the eyeball or light-sensitiveness. Headaches, diz- ziness and even disturbed stomachs may be traced to eyestrain. ATED A Physician Advises You By HERMAN A. BUNDESEN, M.D. SCALP RINGWORM IF - there is anything against which mothers should be on guard these days it is ringworm of the scalp. Of late years this disorder has been very prevalent and in some cities there have been--and still are -- widespread epidemics among school children. Ringworm of the scalp is a dis- order almost entirely confined to children. In practically all cases, it clears up when the child matures, but to leave it to do so of itself usually means running the risk of permanent baldness. Types of Ringworm There are two types of ringworm which may infect the scalp, one called the animal type and the other known as the human type. Infections produced by the. ani- mal type are much milder than those caused by the human type. As a general rule, there are a few oval, scaly patches of inflammation on the scalp. The hairs in these areas are loosened and fall out. In some cases, a deep abscess may form, This condition appears to be less catching than the infection caused by the human type. It is believed that the infection may be caught from dogs and cats, No Inflammation Ringworm of the scalp, caused by the human type of fungus, does not produce inflammation. Oval, scaly patches develop which are covered with a stubble of broken hairs. The hairs break off near the surface and do not tend to fall out as easily as when the infection is caused by the animal type. This condition is transmitted much more easily from one child to another by direct contact during play or the exchange of caps, and by the use of infected combs and brushes. It is also thought that the infection may be transmitted by contact with the backs of seats in theatres. Infection Spreads This infection tends to spread rapidly over the scalp. Because there is no inflammation, pain, or itching, the infection may be pres- ent for some time before the child is aware of it. Ringworm of the scalp is from six to nine times as common in boys as in girls. This is thought to be due to the more frequent ex- change of caps among boys, closer contact during play, and shorter hair. Infection starts most often on the back of the head. As a general rule, diagnosis of ringworm of the scalp is not difficult to make. Ultra-Violet Light The use of a special type of ultra- violet light in examining the scalp is extremely helpful. When the ultra-violet light falls on hairs af- fected by the ringworm infection the hairs fluoresce. This examina- tion with the ultra-violet light is carried out in a dark room. Of course, the hairs may also be ex- amined under a microscope to de- termine whether or not the ring- worm fungus is present. In treating the infection, it is necessary to remove the hairs from the area of the scalp affected. This may be done by pulling the hairs out. X-ray treatinents are advised in some cases. Various prepara tions may also be employed to de- stroy the fungus. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A. W. R.: Will excessive smoking and the drinking of coffee cause the heart to skip beats? Answer: Irregular heart-beat may be produced in some cases by the things you mention. Skipping of the heart-beat may be a danger- ous disorder since 'it: may be due to some serious damage to the heart. Spotlight Stuff Wish for a star?

The old boy was talking about the glittering opening for "The Emper- or Waltz"--television m' everything --and the big supper party that fol- lowed.

It was a big gilded train with searchlights in the baggage car and it took a load of stars all over the country at the depth of the de- pression.

WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT Giving the Engagement Ring? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: . Does the man give the girl her engagement ring first . . . that is, before he speaks with her father about: marrying her? Or does he walt to talk with her father and to give her the engagement ring until just before they plan to be married? C. 8. The man who has proper respect for the girl he wishes to marry and for her family, would be unwilling to go ahead with plans for marry- ing her until he had told her pa- rents that he and the daughter are planning to be married. An honest, straightforward procedure is neces- | sary ... and very rewarding ... on the girl's part and the man's part, in establishing engagement-right- ness. At the very first opportunity, after the girl and man have decided on the engagement, he should go to the girl's father, tell him about their plans and ask for his sanc- tion. (In most cases neither the parents of the girl nor of the man will be much surprised!) In the meantime the girl has told her mo- ther. Or very often the girl and man go together to the girl's mo- ther and father, and the man makes the announcement. Then he immediately tells his parents . , . and they, as soon as possible, either call on the girl, or, if they live at too great a distance for this, write or telephone to her, to welcome her into the family, With these impor- tant preliminaries achieved with right taste and integrity, the ques- tion of the engagement ring is "next on the agenda." Appropriate Gifts For Her Son's Fiancee Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My son has recently become: en- gaged to a young lady who lives in a distant city, and they are to be married soon. I have met his fian- cee just once, and I am in doubt as to what to send her for an en- gagement present. Would a piece of lingerie for her trousseau be appro- | priate, or should I choose a less intimate gift? LL. A piece of lingerie for her trous- seau would be a charmingly appro- priate gift . . . but if you have a bit of doubt as"to the correct size, you might give her a compact or vanity case, a piece of jewelry, real or cos- tume, a corsage ornament, fitted dressing case, jewel case, clock for her dressing-table or desk ( perhaps a travelling clock), monogrammed or initialed bill clip, a silver or gold pencil for her purse, an evening bag, or a comb-in-case for her eve- ning bag. Successful Souffle Needs Careful Handling in Making The souffle has always been con- sidered a temperamental member of the food family. Because of exaggerated ideas about the mak- ing and baking of these egg mix- tures many homemakers are afraid to try one. As with a tempera- mental human, careful handling brings out the most tender qualities and actually a souffle is quite easy to make if a few simple rules are followed. A souffle is made with a basis of thick cream sauce, to which may be added cheese, meat, vegetables, fish or nuts for flavoring and stiffly | beaten egg whites which give it | the characteristic lightness, The home economists of the Consumer Section, Dominion De- | partment of Agriculture, emphasize | several points®in making souffies. | A souffle should be timed to serve at its peak but may be held for 10 or %5 minutes over hot water if it has been cooked properly. This means never higher than 325 degrees FP. Low heat is essential. High temperatures toughen the egg and cause the souffle to separate and fall. Oven-poaching or bak- ing with the dish set in a pas of water, in a 325 degree F. oven, will keep the souffle soft and smooth. If a crispy brown crust is preferred, the casserole may~he set irf the centre of the oven so*that the heat will flow around it evenly and bake at 300 degrees F'. It is wise not to og until the souffle has been in he even for about 45 minutes. Souffiés may be cooked in a greased double bofler but they will not be brown when cooked by this method. ; The casserole should be greased only on the bottom. are ungreased the mixture will rise and hold its full height. Then aft- er the souffle mixture is poured into the casserole there is another trick which helps. If a teaspoon is run around, about an inch from the edge of the casserole, making a track in the mixture, the souffle will have a golden crown when baked. Corn and Cheese Souffle 3 thsps fat, 4 tbsps flour, 1 tsp. salt, few grains of pepper, 1 cup milk, 1 cup grated cheese, 4 egg yolks, 1 cup corn, 4 egg whites.

Budget Souffle Cooked on top of stove. 1% cups soft bread crumbs, 1'; cups milk, 6 egg yolks, 2 thsps. grat- ed raw carrot, 1 tsp. chopped pars- ley, salt and pepper to taste, 1 cup grated cheese, 6 egg whites. Mix together crumbs and milk, soak 10 minutes then beat until smooth. Beat egg yolks, add car- rot, parsley, salt and pepper. Com- bine with bread mixture. Add grated cheese. Beat egg whites un- til stiff and fold into mixture. Pour into the greased top of double boil- er, cover and cook over boiling wa- ter until firm, about 40 minutes.

And August is the best month to buy. But this year milady need not expect much in the way of bargains --that is if she insists on a coat with the "new look." Apparently as the haemlines go down, the prices go up. A coat of muskrat backs will cost between $460 and $550, said the fur expert. He explained that the longer styles, the larger flares, are responsible for the jump in price, Lately muskrat coats have been selling for between $350 and $400. "There's 15 per cent more mater= ial in them than a year ago," he said. "Last year it took perhaps 60 pelts to make a cdlit, but next seg-. son's garments will require from EA to 76 skins." However, he warned, the woman living. in. a cold climate not to go in for too extreme a "new look." Whereas the long, long copt may look fashionable it is a hina, drance when she slips on tier SDOwe. boots to brave the snowstorms. She should make certain that the hen of fer coat does not brush ths top of those high boots, he said. The woman on a "modest" bud- get is in the $195-$300-a-year fur coat class, the furrier said. Asng there is a variety of good, hag' wearing furs from which she dw choose, =09 Mouton tops the list as being o of the most serviceable Aig Bic est of furs. ry Then there is French seal (avy dyed rabbit) and brown seal (brow dyed rabbit). Leon Coon is a good buy; Persian paws are "lair wearing." For the woman with a "moder ate" budget tie fur expert placed: muskrat back at the top of the list- of best wearing coats; Persian lami; coats which can be bought for bees tween $550 and $800, he also figured, were excellent. RATS When choosing a fur coat make. sure the fur is lustrous and unis. form throughout the garment. Exe amine particularly the skins used under the arms, the under part of. the sleeves, making sure these parts are not made of inferior skins. .. Good workmanship is shown jin. the facing of fronts, where the . skins should be folded over instead of extra pieces seamed at the turn, The edges that are subject to hard wear--e.g. cuffs, pockets--should ke protected by full thick hair. When possible examine the lea ther side of the coat. A good skin has leather that is soft and supple but firm and strong. Old skins may be harsh and brittle. alors were not at all co this ' week, inspection revealed.
