By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN GLAMORIZING Ji Hands Need Good Beauty Care By HELKN FOLLETT BEAUTY FOR YOU - Beneath Soft Light By EELEN JAMESON cada: There are women who look their loveliest in their homes. They have s gift for arranging furniture, selecting pieces that are rich in coloring and have graceful lines. These objects seem to have taken on something of the personality of the h form a flattering backgr . she Sudaralanes the importance of lighting effects. .Soft lights make the handsome woman better looking; they shadow and comauflage the defects of the plain one, The hostess not only her own beauty cause, but she is doing a kindness to her . Bright lights are unfriend- ly; even the young pretty women suffer from the glare. There is neither coziness nor friendliness in 'a room that is too brilliantly light- ed. And do you know that glaring lights cause fatigue? It is a fact. Strain on the eyes communicates itself to the nérvous system. You would think, in this day and age, that every woman with a home would realize that directional light- ing is a mistake, It accents make- up, no matter how carefully the simulated blush and the lip pig- ment have been applied. It shows up wrinkles in a cruel manner. It affects the eyes, depriving even the loveliest ones of their natural radiance. The smart woman will. consider the choice of wall colors; they have . much to do with the effect of light- ing arra ts. Green, unless it is of the most delicate pastel tone, is trying on the complexion, caus- ing a woman to look sallow. Blues also should be the softest and faint. est. A red wall is an abomination. It drains a woman's face of every bit of coloring. It is an exciting color. The room with red walls doés not invite restfulness and re- laxation. While white lamp shades are popular, creamy ones are preferable. The ' most flattering color is a méuve-pink that absorbs the yel- low. rays of the globes. | King Pestures In. The formal arrangement of furni- ture is not conducive to comfort. * +b When the time comes that a home owner is about to do re- decorating she should give the mats ter her carefulest consideration, be- cause colors have much to do with her moods. They make the atmos- phere of the home. She should en- deavor to attain as much color harmony as possible among rugs, draperies, furniture and lamp shades. Stiff, formal arrangement of furniture is not conducive to ease and comfort. Why make one's liv- ing room look as if it were a furni- ture display in a store? Why not make it look as if it were a place where the family lives and plays?

"Mobo" re- spons to his young rider's press on thé stirrups by actually "galloping" forward at the rate of four miles an hour. He is a brightly-colored animal of sheet metal, about two and a half feet high, with fireman red saddle, dappled coat, and flow- ing mane. This bucking bronco is now being turned out at the rate of one a minute, at one of Britain's biggest toy factories.

He involves 42 distinct operations along the "press" line alone, and the presses that mold him range in capacity as high as 500 tons. A small brother to the "Mobo Bronco" makes his appearance this Christmas. He is the "Mobo Toy- Toise", a steel tortoise that wroks by "remote control". This new toy animal, made by the same firm, is a colorful and well-finished model of a tortoise which moves ener- gctically across the floor to the control of a cable manipulated by its young owner. The life-size, self-propelled toy walks or scampers along any sur- face as soon as one squeezes a little grip at the end of its long cont-.1 wire. It can be steered with ease and can even turn corners. Over- seas orders for the "Toy-Toise", which sells for less than two dol- lars, have been pouring into Brit- ain, These new "Toy-Toises" roll off the assembly line at the rate of 10,000 a week. By the end of 1948, its makers will be turning out 8,000 a day to meet overseas de- mand. Experience gained during the war has enabled technicians who made real warplanes in Britain to turn their knowledge to the mak- ing of better toy planes. One tech- nician who played a big part in the development of jet propelled fight- ers has designed a true-scale "jet" engine that drives a toy auto at a speed of 10 miles an hour or keeps a "plane" flying for 35 min- utes. The motive 'power on these novel toys from Britain is provided by a chemical substance which was a top secret during the war. A clockwork car proving this Christmas is operated by remote control. It can be directed to go anywhere within the length of its control flex--made to start, turn right or left, or turn right around. There is also a remote controlled civilian airliner, made in Britain, that operates on an arm and pylon and can be made to take off, glide and land. Constructional kits from Britain a2 ancther favorite with Canadian youngsters. One set is real building in miniature with bricks to scale, blueprints on which to lay the foundations, and a water paste which holds like cement. The paste melts when dipped in water, re- Jescing the bricks for a new build- g. Many other toys from Britain are in the shops to delight young- |sters on Christmas morning. A .{ miniature movie house, priced at $25.00 includes six films each last ing 15 minutes. A model machine shop comes complete with pulleys, circular saws and drillers. A doll that looks like a real baby has eyes that not only open and close but can turn and watch you round the room. Meantime, Britain's nurseries will not feel the pinch of the dollar- drive this year. Children in Britain are going to have the best Christ mas in 10 years. Chimneys on Christmas Eve will rattle with more and better toys at lower prices than Santa Claus has been able to find since before the war, LEOPARD SKIN FOR PRINCESS Zomba, Nyasaland -- (CP) --The people of this British African pos- session have sent Princess Eliza- beth a leopard-skin rug and a car rug made of monkey skins.

HEMOPHILIA in families. Likewise, there are certain disorders that run in fi lies and hemophilia is owe of them This is a disorder, the of the bloods in patients with hemophilia so that operations may be safely performed on su... tients. » It is important that persons with this disease be trained to avoid in- jury as much gs possible, and still emgage in many of the customary physical activities. ' Blood One of the best ways to check bleeding is to inject into of fresh whole blood, or that is, the fluid part What is known as frozen verity of the condition." If a great deal of blood has beén lost, whole blood will serve two purposes. It will aid in the blood clotting and will replace the blood which has been lost. If the condition is only moderate severe, the blood plasma may be employed. It may maintain normal blood clotting for a period of about twenty-foyr Hours. If the patient th hemophilia must have an operation, measures to control the blood clotting, such as blood transfusions, should be carried out before the operation is performed and the effects noted for two or three days. After the operation, the patient should be carefully watched for from two to ten days, depending on the surgical procedure performed. The clotting time of the blood is measured three times a day, by timing the clotting, and, if neces- sary, an additional injection of whole blood or blood plasma is given, Prevent Bleeding Occasionally, such substances as fibrin or thrombin should be ap- plied locally to the wound in order to prevent bleeding. In a certain few cases, several injections of whole blood will not control the condition. In such instances, it may be necessray to replace most of the blood by injections of fresh, whole blood. In some cases of hemophilia, bleeding into the joints occurs, and this may produce almost total disa- bility. If the clotting time of the blood is shortened by the injection of whole blood into a vein, thé blood in the joint may be drawn out of the joint by using a syringe and needle; then heat and similar measures are used to benefit the joint condition. Questions and Answers E. E.: I have rheumatic fever and develop attacks about every three years. Would this mean that my children will also have this condi- tion? Answer: There is some evidence indicating that rheumdtic fever runs in families. However, the fact that you have this condition does not mean that your children would also develop it.

Neglect them for two weeks, and it will take four weeks of petting to get them in form again. Almost all kinds of work is hard on hands, attending to the domestic chores, pounding a typewriter, working as a clerk where one's hands may come in contact with dust. The day is past when a girl sits on a cushion and sews a fine seam! She's active; she's hus- tling; she's doing things. Keep the hand lotion where you will see it. If you fail to use it, the sight of the bottle will be a constapt rébuke and serves you right. If the hands are in and out of water many times a day, several applications will be necessary. Those semi-liquid, niilky preparations are wonderfully soothing. They disappear in no time, so you can go about your bus- iness. But lotioning is not enough. * LJ Working hands are robbed of the natural oil and a cream should be applied frequently. After anointing your sacred complextion, a practice to which you are faithful, we hope, use the leavings on your paws. Rub the emollient into the knuckles, the finger nails, the cuticle surround- ing the nails. . Protect your hands. Don't fail to slip on gloves even if you are to be out of doors but a few minutes. Harsh winds flay skin surface, cause a chapped condition that may become painful. Protection is as necessary as care. A woman is justified in being proud of hands of smooth, white surface with finger nails in tip-top form. When they look nice, she will be incline Mo use them gracefully, be mindful of movements. And here's a reminder; new off- erings in nail polish are intriguing. They range in: color from pale pink to deep rose, down to the wine tones.. TIPS FOR TEENS Be Friendly With Everybody BY ELINOR WILLIAMS There's safety in numbers, and that's especially true of friends. Nearly every day, we .get a letter from a girl who has lost her best friend and doesn't know what to do ~--win back her friendship or try to find a new pal. While it's a good idea to have a "best" friend, it's even better to have a group 'of friends. Popular girls and boys always know lots of people. They can al- ways find someone to go to a movie, a game or dance, even if their closest friend can't make it. There are times when school work and duties at home mean your friend can't go with you. Friends, even best ones, sometimes move away or find a dream-date who takes all free time. When you know other people, you're not left alone with nothing to do at a time like this. Besides, a group can do lots more than a twosome--have parties, have a club, go picnicking, dance. You can have double dates, exchange dances and get to know a larger group, Sometimes high schoolers make the mistake of spending all their time with just one friend or with one small special group. They snub a lot of boys and girls who are just as much fun, just because they're not "in the crowd." They ignore younger acquaintances because of their age. They may seem ex- clusive at the time, but when their crowd goes off to college, to work or marries, they wish they knew somebody who is still available for a movie or a soda. Be more generous with your smiles and "Hellos!" at school. The more people you know, the more fun you'll have. * +b (For® tips on games for fun in a group, write to Elinor Williams at this' paper, enclosing a stamped, self-addressed envelope.) Short Hair Popular In London and Paris There is no notable difference between European women's hairdos and those on this continent, says Bérnard Az Guro, a well known New York hair stylist, who has re- rently returned from a tour of Par- is, Vienna &nd London. However, European women and their haif- dressers suffer considerable discom- forts for the sake of beauty. Their electricity is cut off two days a week and business is carried on even in the best salons by candle- light. The water must be heated in large caldrons and is treated as a very precious thing. Mr. Guro advocates, in his Paris inspired hair stylings, that a short hairdo can be just as glamorous as the long hairdo and after the initial cut and set can be tended by oneself. Hair cut three inches short at the sides and five inches long at the back can be "glamored" for evening by combing the side hair in- to short waves and the hack hair into chignon-effect curls. In an- Print | other evening version the side hair is combed up and back with the back hair parted at the centre and brushed forward making soft curls over the ears. 'With such feminine hair stylings no more need gentlemen bemoan the fact that along with the de- parture of long hair went glamor!

Stars sel- dom visit other sets, but "8 and D" has a steady parade of them, Buch gawkers as Gary Cooper, Alan Ladd, Bing Crosby, Hope and others Edgar Bergen and Kay Kyser must b wondering if testimonial dinners are so lucky after all. NBC tossed each of them a big dinner for their 10-year anniversaries on the network. Now Kay is doing a daytime show on ABC, and Bergen temporarily retired after his show was dropped. Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy spent but four months together this year, he tells me on the "Top O' The Morning" set. Cronyn, born in London, Ont., has been makig pic- tures in Hollywood and London, and his wife is the hit of "Street- car Named Desire" on Broadway. She'll be out of the show next June when she reports back to 20th Fox. Then he might have a play to do! "Letter to Three Wives" (TFC) is that rarity--a thoroughly enojyable picture. It's the story of a small- town woman (never seen in the film) who writes three wives that she is stealing one of their hus- bands. The suspense is great, as are the laughs and the drama. Wonder- fully written and directed by Joe Mankiewicz, the film features Ann Sothern, Jeanne Orain and Linda Darnell. Fashion Flashes PRETTY AS A PICTURE is an evening dress of midnight blue slipper. satin. It has a standing col- lar of blue Chantilly lace piped with the satin, that doubles back to jut-out wings over the shoulders. There is a matching blue lace panel over marquisette on the snug bodice which curves softly over the waist to one side. +* * THE YOUNGER CREW is going all out for wool coats under which they like a snug weskit of flat fur such as moleskin, leopard-stencilled lapin or American processed broad- tail in gray, white or brown, rather than black. * + JUST A BIT of feathery trim- ming marks youthful hats now in the stores. Rose beige fur felt is used for a dipping, shell-shaped beret with a softly curved stick-up of simulated aigrette feathers based with a large jewelled disc. Lk IT'S A BRIGHT OUTLOOK for mole.

(My father is in the discussion too, siding with my mother!) Some very dear, life-long friends of my mother and father sent -me a very beautifil and important wedding present, a joint present from the members of their family. All their names were written on the card enclosed with the present: first the mother's and father's names, "Mr. and Mrs....," then the name of an unmarried son who lives with them, then another "Mr. and Mrs." (son and daughter-in-law), and last, the "Mr. and Mrs." who are the daughter and son-in-law. The married daughter and the married scn both live quite near the mother and father, and I know all the family quite well. When I wrote my thank-you note I expressed my thanks to the other members of the family. Yesterday I happened to mention this to Mother and ehe was, she said, "shocked" "lack of taste and 3:al apprecia- tion." She insists Father) that I should have written separate notes. I'm very much dis- turbed about this, for these people are very dear to my mother and father, and I really was grateful for their generosity to me, Was I wrong in not writing individual notes? And, if so, could you think of any possible. way I can rectify my social error? Ellen S. I must tell you that I completely agree with your mother and father that your expression of apprecia- tion for such a gift-plan' was in- adequate. As your mother and father have doubtless pointed out to you, if the unmarried son, and the son and daughter-in-law, and the daughter and soncin-law had had sent you separate gifts you would have written separate thank- you notes. But because they so thoughtfully and generously pooled their giit-moneys so that they could buy one "very beautiful and important wedding present" you, with a too-casual point of view, sent off ome "blanket" thank-you note that was to include members of the family who don't even live in the same house. That's not enough. Your mother and father quite rightly don't consider it enough. And I'm positive that these kind and generous contributors to the gift don't consider it enough. One of the inevitable measures of a person's good taste is the really patch pockets outlined with welt seaming.

The skirt is of bronze satin dotted in black; the top is of black jersey, long sleeved, and high in front. In back it is slashed al- most to the waist, wide at top, and tapering down. * bb A TOUCH OF COLOR on black is an old formula now staging a come-back. Black rayon crepe is used for an afternoon frock with a softly tucked drape of pale blue chiffon that starts at one shoulder, curves across the bodice and des- cends in a panel to the skirt hem. * kb OUR PRIZE for the most beauti- ful resort costume looked at to date is a dinner ensemble of white Irish linen.

I suggest that at once you write notes to the other gift-con- tributors saying something like 'this, for example: "Tom and I are happily settling cur new home, and the wonderful Thompson - family gift is giving us such special de- light that we want to tell you so and thank you all over again fog your and your perfect planning "Tor our happiness.

(This could be the idea of the notes, but, of course, the wording would be varied in the several notes.) Placing Seafood Cocktail Fork Dear Mrs. Beeckman: In a table setting, shouldn't the oyster cocktail fork be placed with the other forks, at the left of the plate, farthest from the plate? (I have always understood that all forks are placed at the left of the plate.) I recently saw a table-set- ting exhibit in a local department store, and the oyster fork. was placed at the right of the plate, the side with the knives and spoons. Which is really correct? , Beatrice U. The latter. The small seafood- cocktail fork is the one exception to the rule that forks are at the left of the plate. It should be placed at the extreme right of the knives and spoons. (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions submitted by readers.) J ais 7 eyond question-the Best! Moirg ONE wrapper . . .
