These useful ornaments can be used in a variety of ways, often imparting precisely the right touch to a frock that otherwise would be too plain. When attaching clips, keep adjusting them until you get the most becoming effect, A single clip, placed in the cen- tre of the neckline, has a slender- izing effect upon the neck that has adopted a yolicy of expansion. It should not be so small that it will look lost and lonesome, but neck. 1 large >» & enough to give the effect of rooch. A clip at either side of neck makes the shoulders look wider. A smart effect can be attained by placing both clips on the same side, one slightly lower than the other. How these ornaments are to be used in the hair depends, of course, upon the hair-do. When used in this way, they should not be heavy, or the wearer will look overdressed. As a rule, beautiful hair, beautiful~ ly arranged, looks best with no or- naments at all. All earrings tend to increase the apparent width of the face. Serviccwomen Valuable Assets In Former or New Civilian Jobs By KAY REX Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa, Dec. 17--(CP)--As Can- ada set her sights for peace, the Year 19046 saw the 24,000 women t in the armed services pack their uniforms in mothballs and either head into the busy world of civilian industry, or trek to school or university classes for further training, Although a number were either married before enlistment of married while in the services, and chose to retire to private life, offi- clals of the Department of Veter- ans Affairs say the figure is not as high as has been generally sup- Today demobilization of Canada's 48,000 servicewomen fs practically completed, although some nurses have remained in the permanent forces and there are still a few wo- men dietitians in the Air Force. D.V.A. officials report that across Canada employers have recognized the woman veteran as a valuable asset to any organisation. Valuable Qualities ' "The woman veteran is showing the same adaptability, services," said one official. "All this has been recognized by the employ- er who has found she pays him a good dividend as an employee." For those now in the employ- ment field the National Employ- ment Service reports that up un- til Sept. 1 more than "1,000 former servicewomen were placed in em- ployment. It is believed even a larg- er number found work without the aid of the NES. Many were re-in- stated with former employers. Some set up businesses of their own such as pi shops, secretarial bureaux, and dress shops. Others chose spe- cialized branches of farming-- everything from chicken raising to frog-farming. Of the total number who enlisted approximately 6,000 were nurses or physicians, most of whom have returned to their civil- ian professions. Many women vet- e | cial, in UNRRA, in various govern- ment departments, and in large business houses. Smooth Transition Generally speaking the rate of unemployment is "considerably" less among former servicewomen, than it is among former service- men, said D.V.A. officials. The wo- men have gone back into the civil- ian stream more smoothly than the men, Within the next year D.V.A. offi- clals expect the total number of women formerly in the Armed Ser- vices, who avail themselves of the government's provision for train- ing of veterans, may exceed 20 per the present time more than 8,000 are trained, or undergoing training, for mqre than 100 different occu- pations. Approximately 6,000 took voca- tional training under the D.V.A. plan, and more than 2,000 chose un- iversity training or other profess- ional or semi-professional training in various non-university schools or colleges. Many in Training A D.V.A. report reveals that wo- men veterans in universities are studying everything from law, ar- chitecture and medicine, to jour- nalism and social work. Many are training as nurses. On the voca- tional side they're taking such things as hairdrcesing, stenogra- phy, book-binding, linotype opera- ting and photography. Although no exact records are available it is understood that a litle more than 30 per cent of the women were married at the time of discharge. A number of these are neither employed, nor taking training However, officials lay to "wishful thinking" the occasional newspaper report that most former servicewomen are married and not atatesed in training or employ- ment. "Many of those who are married must work to supplement their husband's earnings," said one offi- "Others have abilities and skills which are as urgently needed in peace time as in war."

Prospective Bridegroom Should Not Pay For Bridal Gown Dea Me, Beeckman: earest friend is to be mar- ried in three or four months, and she and I have been discussing who is supposed to buy the bride-elect's wedding gown. She and I think it is the prospective bridegroom's re- sponsibility to buy her wedding gown and her going-away costume. But several of our friends insist that these are paid for by the lars father. Who is right about M PF Your friends are right about this. The bridal gown and the going- away costume of the bride are the responsibility of the bride's family. And the bride-to-be who knows what's what, and who wants to avoid the possibility of any present or future criticism, will abide strict- ly by this time-honored tradition.

BUNDESEN, M.D. It used to be thought that gall- bladder disease was an ailment re- served almost exclusively for wo- men, finding its victims among those who were "fair, fat and for- ty." 'Today we know that this is not true. Women between forty and fifty are more frequently at- tacked than are men, but recent figures show that 15 per cent of all people suffer from this trouble in one form or another. At least one- third of those over 45 contract it. The symptoms in gallbladder di- sease vary to a great extent, Many patients find that eating fried or fatty foods, raw apples, cucumbers, or cabbage causes. some disturbs ances.. Gallbladder disease causes attacks of pain which, as a rule, are in the right upper part of the abdomen. The pain, however, may be in the pit of the stomach or between the shoulder blades. It may occur at intervals or be continuous. There is also! some tenderness in the right upper part of the abdomen, ° A gallbladder disturbance may be acute, that is, come on sudden- ly. In such cases, there is an at- tack of pain in the abdomen, which increases in severity and is accom- panied by sickness to the stomach and vomiting. At times the en- larged gallbladder can be felt by the physician through the abdo- minal wall. When this occurs, there is a chance that the gallblad- der may rupture or break open, Fortunately, this is a very rare oc- currence. An Early Operation According to Dr. A. Chalmers Hope of Charlotte, North Carolina, in most instances early operation in acute gallbladder disturbances will prevent serious complications, suchyas rupture of the gallbladder or acute inflammation of the liver. In chronic or long-continued gallbladder disturbances, the symp- toms are much less severe, but fre- quent attacks of. pain, together with excess gas formation in the stom- ach and bowel, and sometimes sick- ness to the stomach and vomiting occur, Most patients with chronic gallbladder infection do not require operation. They may get along sat- isfactorily by following a prescribed diet, reducing in weight, and using, as directed by the physician, pre- parations which may help to stimu- late the flow of bile from the gall- bladder. When gallbladder symptoms oc- cur, an X-ray should be taken to help determine whether or not gallstones are present, The only way to get rid of these stones, in 80 far as is known at the present time, is by operation, One Scotsman, we know of, has a phone in his automobile and drives part of the way on long dis- tance calls to save toll charges, Glamorizing Tinting Isn't For Amateurs i Many women long for love'y blonde hair like actress Anita Louise's, + * Hair tinting goes on apace in beauty shops. There are all kinds of rinses, for all kinds of hair; they give life and character to the silky shafts. The effects are not permanent and so if you don't like them you don't have to have them any more. Chances are you will be pleased, Movie stars find them a help as the camera catches the lights and shadows of pretty tresses. Brunettes love to give their brown locks an auburn glow. White- haired ladies have gone in for the blue cast which evidently helps them not to think of the number of birthdays they have encounter- ed, Blondes, after a certain age when their golden halos have tar- nished, flirt with the peroxide bot- tle. Skilful Bleaching Bleaching must be done skill- fully if the shafts are to remain in normal condition, not become dry and parched or break at the touch of the comb. Bleaching is no job for the amateur, When the golden top changes, it is darker at the roots than at the ends of the shafts. It often hap- pens that only a small portion of the growth, close to the head, should be treated. To do that re- quires experience, a knowledge of applications, an understanding of L J LJ] just how strong a coloring agent should be used, and how long ft should remain on, The Drab Tone What the blonde hates is the drab tone that may come after the thirties. Yet it often happens that the effect is not unbecoming, As the hair changes, so does the com- plexion, losing the freshness and coloring of youth.

HOLD YOUR HATS, girls, the procession is on! At every Spring fur showing, it seems that there is at least one white version of a fav- orite fur, We can remember way back when dark, glossy mink was without peer.

BRONCHITIS COLDS visiss VICKS The heroism of the little people of France is getting a hand on the screen these days with the release of two films, a feature that unreels like a documentary, and a real do- cumentary telling parts of the stor- ies of the French resistance and the Sndergronng under Nazi occupa- n. "Jericho", a French feature pro- duction glorifying the resistance and the Royal Air Force, depicts French plans to blow up a German oil train at an unnamed town which the distributors identify as Amiens. The German conquerors, expecting such action, take 50 hos- tages from the innocent townsfolk. After deliberation the resistance leaders decide to carry out the original plan. A clue to the way out of the un- happy situation is contained in the title, for the R.AF. answer the ap- peal of the Maquis with "Opera- tion Jericho", a mission in which bombers breach the walls of the Jail before the hostages can be ex- ecuted, Here fiction approaches fact for the R.AF. carried out just such an operation during the war to liberate prisoners held in jail at Amiens. A The film dallies in backwaters somevimes instead of surging on to the climax but the dialogue is that of rea] life. The other celebration of the French resistance is a documentary, _ "Operation Underground", spon~4f sored by the editors of Newsweek, magazine, which reveals the story of hw allied fliers were smuggled out of occupied France. The working of the Under ground is shown, from the farmer who first shelters the three fliers who are the central figures, to the clearing house in Paris and the final run over the frontier to safety. Much of the film is real-life ac- tion photographed by Maquis cam~ eramen in occupied Paris and the climax comes when the camera fol- lows them--two Americans and one Englishman with their French guide--on a conducted tour of the Nazi-occupied city. Some German soldiers in sight look curiously inte the camera lens. Final shots re- unite the two Americans in New York. newest t cleanser. It does everything soap will do--yet it is not soap an doesn't act like soap. OUTCLEANS-- OUTLASTS SOAP SUDS When you add warm--or even cool water to VEL, it forms light, billowy suds instantly. But just like a frothy drink, the bubbly foam soon subsides, leaving a clear solu- tion that cuts grease and lifts out dirt in double-quick time. WATER STAYS CLEAR Unlike the cloudy, milky-white water which soap produces, VEL keeps the water almost transparent so that you can see what you are doing . . : see the things you are washing. A teaspoonful or so of VEL in the dishpan quickly dis- solves grease making that inevitable chore of dishwashing less tedious. VEL contains no soap so leaves no soapy scum--makes china and glass- ware sparkle so that drying is unnecessary.
