1948 THE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, » Be Many women recall wonderful days before household help almost disappeared from the face of the earth. Having some friends in for dinner didn't worry them any. A visit to the kitchen, a consultation with the maid, a few minutes at the telephone gabbing with the grocery clerk and the butcher, and that was all. When the guests arrived, host- esses were as fresh as so many daisies, ready to enjoy a meal that had caused them no labor or in- convenience, . Now it is not that simple. The mistress of the home, who may never have read a cook book in her life, is on the job. We observe | that she is not doing as much en- tertaining as she did in the past. But there are times when she must, no getting around it. If she is smart, she will learn to prepare food expertly. Cooking, somebody has said, is one of the seven arts. Certainly many women find delight izing meal, They also learn how to w about the matter with little con- gsion and no fuss. Have you ever been the guest of + the flustered woman who looked as i if she had boiled her complexion along with the dinner? Of course! i And you did not feel comfortable. It is surprising how differently women go about this task of produc- ing food. One will prépare a feast { fit for' royaltk, a grand culinary ; display that will make your mouth water at the sight of it, and there she is, as cool and collected as if she had been sewing on a button. Another one will fuss with a mea- ger meal, get all hot and bothered, ~- look as if she were about to run a temperature. It is all in the method. If you are new at the commissary Job, take your time and work out a system. Get through the messy tasks early in the day. Prepare vegetables in advance.

Get out the -silver and dishes. Avoid last minute tasks; they are what takes the starch out of you and the curl out of your hair. It is no fun for the guest unless the hostess appears to be having a good time, too. Flavor departs from food when the one who cooked it looks as if she had given her life's blood to prepare it. When she is hirer she cannot be her sparkling self. Her fatigue clouds the occasion. Daddy feels that something is wrong, doesn't carry on as usual. The party is likely to be a grand old flop. - Ten Tips on Improving Your Conversation, Personality 1. Work on Your Speaking Voice, stén to a fine professional voice-- a record or a radio program--then ** speak the same lines yourself. How's " your pitch -- probably too high. _ How's your volume--too great, too I. small? How's your speéd? Faster, _ we'll wager, than Helen Hayes'. All ! ® right, here's something to practice © on. 2. Relax! If your stomach's a ' tight little 'ball your voice will get | out of control. Take a series of long, deep breaths before you enter a ¥ roomful of people. Let yourself go © purposely limp in your chair--no one'll notice. 3. Be Confident! If you find your confidence ebbing away, deliberatly recall a situation in which you were triumphant. Remember the €l- ation of having things well under control, You did it once. You can do it again. Have Something to Say! Actu- ally bone up for a conversation. Mark an amusing anecdote or an interesting news event with a men- tal note to use it. Be sureyyou have the data straight and the punch Jine down pat. And keep a couple of good ice-breaker on hand. Ask a man what business he's in--and if it turns out you don't know a single thing about it, follow up with some appropriate question such as "How was taxidermy affected by the war?" 5. Act Interested, whether you are or not. Make a game of drawing your partner out. Pretend you're a reporter with an assignment to get him to talk about himself.

When your 'ju- dicious questioning elicts an an- swer, listen. Keep up the reporter fiction -- imagine you're going to have to _>t this all down on paper later. Ask questions when tke point isn't clear. But think twice before you start telling about you. Strang- ely enough, your conversation part- hes is much more interested in him- self, 7. Keep the Ball Rolling. Try to make every remark require an an- swer. The "yes" or "no" or "how interesting" kind of repartee dies quickly. Questions are, of course, the best device. T'.e "Yes, but isn't it 'also true that.." or "Certainly, but don't you often find that" re- sponse is a natural. You've flat- tered his ideas with agreement, and also encouraged him to express more. : 8. Be Tactful and Tasteful. Don't make dogmatic statements. Bon't introduce controversal subjects or |' personal references unless you're very sure of your ground, (Re member, we're not telling you how to improve your mind. We're just telling you how to hold a casual conversation with a stranger.) Steer clear of any violent disagreement. 9. Use Flattery. If you've heard that he plays a. good game of golf, mention it. If a mutual friend has told you he's a good guy, you can even s' ctch it a point to say that "Marion sas said such nice things about you." 10. Smile! It will make both of you feel better. Theatre Talk By PAT USSHER New York, Nov. 27--(CP)--Broad- way laughs at itself this week, in| Moss Hart's "Light Up the Sky" at | the Royale Theatre. The stage is peopled with folk supposed to be in show business, and it's not too difficult to guess their real-life prototypes. You can hear the audience whis- per: "Sammy Levene, playing the financial wizard, is a take-off on Billy Rose I'll bet Audrey Christie, as his wife, is Eleanor Holm . . . Do you think Virginia Field, as the temperamental lead- ing lady, is supposed to be Gert- rude Lawrence?" Even for theatre-goers who aren't "hep" to the Broadway gossip, "Light Up the Sky" is good fun, with a change of pace that neatly switched the tempo from slapstick to serious drama in a couple of lines. Welcome "Goodbye" Assured of a long run, Madéleine Carroll's first play in North America was welcomed by critics and au- diences alike. "Goodbye, , My Fancy", a witty work concerning a liberal congresswoman who returns to her alma mater--and her first lover--for a visit, has loads of laughs and is acted with polish that hasn't been seen on Broad- way for some time. After a premiere in London, Ont., "Goodbye" opened its box of- ice at the Morosco Theatre for sales several months in advance on the strength of unanimously good reviews. The male leads, Congrad Nagel as president 'of the university and Sam Wanamaker as a magazine photographer, are capably played. Pack of Trouble A bunch of young helions cause a pack of trouble in "The Young and Fair", a melodrama with a girls' school setting which opened this week at the Fulton. Author Richard Nash has dished up a weird portmanteau plot that tackles such major problems as the power of wealth, intolerance, and the question of truth and ideals vs. chicanery and compromise. The weakness of "The Young and Fair" is chiefly that it leaves un- solved most of the problems 'it tackles. : "For Heaven's Sake, Mother!", A Physician Advises You | By HERMAN A. BUNDESEN, M.D. PROPER CARE FOR DIABETICS It is an encouraging fact that diabetics today can look forward to long life and good health. This is not to say that they can safely neglect their disease. Far from it, for the management of diabetes is a complicated problem but it is one which can be successfully solved by care on the part of the physi- cian and co-operation on the part of the' patient. Diabetes results when the pan- creas fails to secrete enough insu- lin to enable the body to use sugars properly. The reasons behind this failure are not known, though both overweight and heredity seem to play a part in bringing it om. Main Treatment The main treatment of this dis- ease is by means of diet, together with injections of insulin when re- quired. The object is to keep the amount of sugar in the blood at a normal level and to avoid the reac- tions which ultimately result in the dread complications of diabetes, such as high blood pressure, hard- ening of the arteries, and bleeding into the eye. Naturally, diet planning for the diabetic is an individual problem and must be worked out carefully for each patient. However, there are certain general considerations which can be used as a guide. The number of calories or heat units in- cluded in the diet will be determin- ed by the patient's weight, and in this regard the doctor will always keep in mind that it is better for the diabetic to be somewhat under- weight than overweight. Sugar or sugar-containing foods should be avoided, since, when they are used, there is a rise in the amount of sugar in the blood. In children, desserts or soft drinks may, cn occasion, be substituted for some starchy foods in the diet. This is done for psychological reasons. Starchy Foods In the average adult, the daily intake of starchy foods should be about 150 grams, or about 5 ounces. This amount of starchy foods per- mits one slice of bread for each of four meals; one helping of starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, rice, or macarcni; one glassful of milk; a helping of 'less starchy vegetables, such as onions, carrots, or beets, and two helpings of fruits, such as | oranges and grapefruit. Protein foods, such as meat, milk and eggs are of great importance for the diabetic patient to supply the materials for building tissues | and repairing worn-out ones. It is suggested that meat, fish, or eggs be given at each meal. Amount of Fat A certain small amount of fat is also necessary in the diet, and the fats are best furnished by eggs and milk. Fats are not only necessary in thémselves, but also to provide fat-soluble vitamins, such as Vita- mins A and D. » It is not difficult to make a diag- | nosis of diabetes. It causes such | symptoms as loss of weight and strength, severe inching of the body, increased appetite and thirst, and the presence of sugar in the urine. Chemical examination to de- termine the amount of sugar in the blood is important. Diabetes is not a static disease. The state of the patient may change from month to month and from year to year. Thus, he requires constant checking and supervising if the dangers of the disease are to be avoided and normal health maintained. The great thing is that with competent medical guidance both these things can be accom- plished so that diabetics today can not only live to a ripe old age, but can have a life free of invalidism. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS H. A.: I have a sister with Bell's Palsy. What is this condition? Answer: Bell's Palsy is due to some injury to the facial nerve. Ex- posure to cold, which causes neuritis of the nerve, may be responsible. Hot applications, electrical treat- ments, and massage of the muscles of the face are all helpful in treat- ing this condition. E.T.: What is lupus erythemato- sus? Answer: Lupus erythematosus is a disorder characterized by pinkish- or reddish-colored patches of vari- ous sizes and shapes, usually on the face, and leaves thin, white scars. The cause of this eruptions is not definitely known. X-ray treatments seem to be the most satisfactory way to clear up the ruption temporarily. A lotion containing zinc sulphate, sulphur, and sulphurated potassium is help- ful. Radium also has beén used in treating the disorder. Pensioner Cheated By Woman Imposter London, --(CP) Everything was ade Jor the 84th birthday party of Ss. Henrietta Dear when a woman "from the Ministry of Pen- sions" called on her. She said the Ministry was going to increase Mrs. Dear's pension by 10 shillings ($2) a month. Only formality was £4 ($16) for a stamp for the pension-increase document. Members of the family clubbed to- gether and raised it on the spot. The woman departed but did not come back. Later the Ministry told Mrs. Dear "we're sorry, but no one was auth- orized to call on you. We know nothing of anp pension increase." STOP, THIEF!

'GLAMORIZING Buying Bath Accessories By HELKN FOLLETT 3 A heavy-bristled bath brush should be part of everyone's personal equipment. + WHAT woman can resist fra-- grant bath accessories? You know the answer. They are no longer in the luxury glass; she girls have to have them. Take bath salts, for in- stance. You may have them in your favorite flower or bouquet scent, in colors to match your bath room, in crystals, in. effervescing powders, all in the most fascinating containers. With these at hand, you'll never skip a day. The daily scrubbing is the first ,lJaw of beautifying. You can tell the scrubbers at a glance. Their complexicns have freshness and good coloring. . Soap, of course, should be the best you can buy. You have a wide selection 'there. If your skin feels sensitive or irritated after your bath, change soaps. There are de- lightful bath oils to be had that are soothing. In cold weather and with thin hosiery, one's legs are likely to be chapped. Friction them well with an oil. You will find these items carrying the same sweet odor as your bath salts. They make you smell sweet all the day long. * * Complexion Spray You may be interested in a com- plexion spray that you will find at the toilet goods counter. It will give you the refreshing tonic and care- fully regulated stimulus of cold wa- ter in the creation and preserva- tion of. a beautiful complexion. Use it when you get up in the morning. You'll have an attractive before- breakfast face. The thoughtful hostess will pro- vide bath accessories for her house guest--small individual jars of bath salts, a jar of dusting powder with plenty of little cotton squares for its application, tissues to be used for the removal of cosmetics. A heavy bristled bath brush equipment. It hustles up circulation, causes goose flesh to disappear. If the bristles mat down when moist- ened, the brush does not qualify. When bathing there is bound to be considerable foreign matter on the skin -- dead scales, atmospheric dust, chemicals exuded by the sweat glands. Fashion Flashes LUXURY handbags star with peautiful late-afternoon-into-even- ing outfits. An exquisite import is of black silk satin, a pouch gath- ered onto a wide gold filagree frame encrusted with enameled flowers, fine seed beads and pearls--a frame to be used over and over again. * + * | VERY CLEVER use of vivid col- | s brings verve to the current Tene. For instance, with her suit of deep green broadcloth, one wo- man wears a pillbox and stole of moleskin dyed a deep American Beauty red. * * PERFECT suits of fine, soft tweed mark the town street parade. A beauty is a double-breasted mo- del of deep brown tweed that is as soft and supple as silk.

Black Persian lamb is used for a handsome coat with an Empire yoke back. Collar and cuffs are of velvet thickly overlaid with enterie, adding up to a handsome effect. * +b IT MUST BE that milliners are in league with the hairdressers, since it would seem that the major- ity of hats are designed solely for wear with a short, neat hair-do. The neat look is the smart look when it comes to the head and hat icture. P * +b SOMETHING NEW to wear with the long evening skirt is the even- ing blouse of hand-knitted, very lightweight silk, wool or rayon yarn. Scooped out necklines, long or short sleeves, beautiful colors, some with geometrical designs in gold or sil- ver for the yoke, make these blouses a stand-out group. + + * GROWING in popularity for the- atre wear is the skirt and separate top. Skirts of taffeta, of velvet, of brocade, and of metallic cloth are fréquently seen, as are lace or wool jersey tops with very scooped out nécklines, Now and again one sees the strapless, wired bodice, a nice choice for the young, slender fig- ure, but not for any other type, we're afraid. * Bb ' IT'S WONDERFUL to see how beautiful wool dresses are this sea- son. One of the most original dresses seen at a recent evening party at a picture gallery was an ankle-length dress of tissue weight, off-white woolen with a neckline deep and straight in back and curved to a deep rounded bertha point in front with a tailored self bow. The skirt is softly gathered onto a very slim, beltless waistline. * +» JUST RETURNED to popularity is caracul, which -is to receive a big promotion for next year. Fine black caracul makes a full length coat which has a gracefully in- verted back pleat that descends from a pointed yoke, A pointed envelope collar can be worn up at the nape of the neck or drawn around the shoulders.

Sometimes this is used inside an evening bag to hold compact and lipstick. * AN EASY TRICK for the budget- minded gals is to invest in a nice velvet beret and then trim it with jet beads or sequin touches for date wear. : * +B A NICE ALTERNATIVE to the fur coat, and much dressier for im- » portant wear than a woolen coat is a full greatcoat of black velvet, or a trim reefer of same.

"I sometimes think that if states- mien and politicians listened to {great music before going in to de- | bate the world would be saved a lot |of headaches," said Mary when in- terviewed in her home at Ealing Common. "There is a power in the work of the masters that transcends petty grievances. That at least has been my experience. I get very angry sometimes . . . but it passes when T play the piano or go to a good con- cert." Since she first left her mative Montreal 22 years ago, Miss Munn's talent has been' divided between Canada, Britain, the United States and European countries.. She has given recitals in London regularly since last January andthe critics have been unanimous' in their praise. She has been asked to play Greig's piano concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Albert Hall, November 21. "I regard it as an honor," she said, "and I shall certainly give of my best." . Born blind, Mary has trained herself since childhood to memor- ize full-length symphonic works note by note. She can repeat as much as five pages of Mozart after hearing them played only once, complex music has to be learned progressively in five-bar sections. She memorized the Greig concerto in 14 hours. "When learning a new piano concerto, I always study the con- ductor"s score as well. I like to know what to expect from the or- chestra, and not have horns com- ing in when I'm expecting strings." Tall, with dark hair and a bright smile, Miss Munn first came to London when she was 16 and stud- ied at the Royal Academy of Mu- sic. Then she returned to Canada for a 16-weeks engagement with the C.B.C. in Toronto. Back In London two years later, a series of piano recitals proved so successful she was invited to play in other European capitals. Seeking a companion for her travels. Mary became friendly with concert and operatic singer, Elsie Mann. Miss Mann accompanied her to Rome; Budapest and Berlin and enjoyed it so much she gave up singing to be- come Mary's permanent companion. "We've been together nearly 13 years naw," Miss Mann said. "Our friends call us Munn and Mann -- as if we were some sort of comic turn." The house which they share has two grand pianos in the drawing room -- one for each. It will be to' let next January, however, as Miss Munn is returning to Canada for a concert tour.

Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood -- (AP) -- Dan Dailey is one hoofer who likes to dance socially, too, but he has definite ideas about ballroom pests. "The perfect dancing partner should dance directly in front of you and be chest to chest," Dailey analyzed on the "You're My Every- thing" sef. . The six-feet-four actor com- plained that most gals aren't tall enough for the lankier lads. "They should come at least to your chin, but not lower," he- said. "If th are any shorter, every- time you take a long step you knee them in the stomach." The important thing about ball- room dancing, said he, is the beat. "You want to hit it or you're a drag--a lagging partner" is what he commented, and you'll just have to take his word for it. It's the offbeat dancers that louse up the floor, Dan added, "You keep bumping into them because they aren't keeping time with the music and you can't tell where they're | going. Another danger is the mid- dle-aged stomp type. They push about the floor pumping and bouncing for all they're worth." Concerning female Dan had three final points: is a menace. 2.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Is there any rule that should be followed as to who is the first to offer to shake hands in an intro- duction? I am always confused about this. V.M.B. Yes, there is a rule. The one who is being presented, one whose name is generally mentioned last in the introduction, should wait for the other person to offer to shake hands. That is, the man being pre- sented to a woman should wait for her to offer her hand. The young girl being presented to an older woman should wait for the older woman to offer her hand. The young man being presented to an older man should wait for the clder man to offer to shake hands. But if, in any case, the one being introduced should extend his or her hand, the other should immediately accept this cordial gesture. Initial of Last Name Should Be Larger When in Center Dear Mrs. Beeckman: For a birthday present last week I received a beautiful silver com- pact engraved with my three ini- tials. I am both disappointed and that the engraver made a mistake that my friend didn't see because the gift was propably ordered and sent without his seeing the com- | pleted marking. The initial of my last name is in the center, the initial of my first name above the initial of my middle name below. But, all the letters are exactly the | same size, so that it appears that on | My middle name is my last name. | she | Tsn't this incorrectly marked? If Dear Mrs. Beeckman: i 50, is there anything I could do about it now? Alma H. Yes, this marking is incorrect. It size, they should be in the quence: first name, middle name, se- | and the chances are that the pres- ent engraving can be removed and the new marking-design engraved over the same place. Or if the ini- tials are in a diagonal line, perhaps the center initial could he removed, and a new, enlarged initial engrav- ed there.

My husband is paying all expenses of the wed- ding, will of course give our daugh- ter in marriage, and will come to the reception here.

Parsley gives a delicious flavor when chopped and sprinkled light- ly over scrambled eggs, potatoes or chicken. Dried parsley may be ad- ded to stews, soups, sauces and stuffing. Savory always goes into poultry dressing, but improves the flavor when added to beef loaves, han:- burgers, pork and beans. Caraway in cake is an old favor- ite, but caraway seeds are delicious in cottage cheese, cabbage salad and rolls. Rosemary is idéal for roast meats and french fried potatoes. Sage dressing in roast goose is traditional, but sage in baked beans, on fish or in stews may also improve their flavors. Tarragon gives a rich tangy flavor to salad dressings, egg or chicken dishes. Thyme brings out the flavor of cheese dishes, clam chowder and fish dishes. It may also be used in tomatoes and cottage cheese. Speaking of cottage cheese, the health and welfare department suggests it as an ideal substitute for meat. A source of animal pro- tein, it also is rich in vitamin B.
