PAGE SIX i ~ THE DATLY TI MES-CAZETTE WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1947 BEAUTY FOR YOU Co-ed's Cosmetjc Need By HELEN Vg This is the season of .the year when the college lassie, home for the holiday vacation and enjoying the privilege of using mama's charge accounts, stocks up on cos- metics. Much more fun than dig- ging into her allowance during the school term. If she is a money- flinger, she will probably shoot the works, include an expensive per- fume and be the envy of her pals. The basic cosmetic requirements of ay woman are few, though she may not think so. Heavy creams and astringents are not for young faces; they belong to middle-age and the autumn of life. A good cleansing cream is a must. The co- ed needs it to remove make-up before the nightly face-washing. It acts as a soothing agent after ex- posure to strong winds, She can pass it lightly over her lips; it will keep the mouth smooth, soft and moist, Soap, of course, is her very best beauty friend, and she should buy the best, No artifice takes the place of the freshly-scrubbed look. Neat- ness is the high cry now; sloppiness of dress and hair-do is old stuff. Daily bathing is necessary for the sake of health and to help the skin to function normally as an organ of elimination; the practice is of won- derful cosmetic value to the com- plexion, Girls aren't bothering much with rouge these days. They have athle- tic activities, grow their own blush- es. They're giving their compacts to the lady elders of their families, who find consolation in them. , <The lipstick still has second place, the first being held by the powder pad, without which it seems no member of the human sisterfiood can exist. Colers are still of the natural order, dark 'rather than light. Vivid red is not fashionable, It attracts the 'eye of the observer, 'who fails to notice good features and the pleasing facial expressions that are the real elements of pul- chritude. The co-ed, considering her frocks and hats, may indulge in | several lipsticks, but no fire-engine | JAMESON > JE <I "Dinbuted by hung Fesrwres Sadie. Ink Young women have few basic cos- metic requirements. LE red for her! She's up-to-date, right to the minute, She will need a shampoo medium, having little time to loiter around beauty shops. There are many to be found, among them the new oil and cream offerings 'that make sham- pooing a quick, easy job. If her hair orush shows wear and tear, she should get a new one; only regular grocming will give the hair luster and life. Narrow = brushes, with bristles set in groups, are kert clean easily; they do not tangle the hair. Other items: A hand lotion that does the disappearing act in a hur- ry, a deodorant or deterrent, and a fresh, sweet perfume that is not too strong. TIPS FOR TEENS Answers to Your Questions By "One point in etiquette is not clear to 'teen-agers and adults alike," writes a reader. "Which is correct when three people, two girls and one boy, are walking together | --the boy on the outside or in the | middle? Does the same rule apply | to married people?"--Ans. The boy | walks in the middle so he can share | his attention with both girls and it's | easier for everybody to join the con- | versation. The same rule is also cor- | rect for grown-ups, single and mar- | ried. | "My friend has been going with | a boy for three years, but they've | decided to 'break up.' She bought | a birthday gift for him some time | ago and wonders if she should | give it to him now, even though they | no longer see each other and have | ended their friendship," writes an- | other.--Ans. A girl should never give | @ boy a gift for Christmas or a birthday unless he has given her one, Certainly no gift should be given after the friendship has been -ended. If she gives him the gift now, he'd be embarrassed or would think she wanted to resume dating. "There's a girl in one of my classes ot high school I'd like to get ac- quainted with, but I don't know anybody who knows her and could introduce us. How can I meet her and get to know her well enough to ask her for a date?"'--Ans, If she is in your class or if you see her re- DIAPER R A S H $273.0 the 3 PromptRelief Emollient, mildly medicated Cuticura Ointment soothes promptly, star once to help h - CUTICURA OINTMENT "JINOR WILLI+ MS gularly in school, it's correct to speak to her, starting with a friend- ly smile and "Hello!" or "Hi!" at first.

WHOOPING COUGH IN BABIES I wish that every tarent could realize the great danger whoop- ing cough holds for children un- der two years of .age. Far from being the comparatively harmless disease most 'people consider it, whooping cough can produce se- vere complications and even end fatally. But most of these deaths are needless. We have found not only that the d "cise can be pre- vented but also that the lives of those who get it can be saved by proper care and treatment, pre. ferably in a hospital. The qualities of whooping cough as a killer are demonstra- ted by cold, hard statistics which show that it is annually respon- sible for four times as many deaths in infants under two as scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles, and infantile paralysis combined. Spasms of Coughing Whooping cough produces se- vere spasms of coughing. At the | end of the coughing attack, the child draws in the breath sharp= ly gd this produces the crow or w ing sound, which gives the disease its name. During seizures, the child ofte: vomits. There may be some slight fever and a little nasal discharge. 7 Of course, the coughing spells keep the child from gaining strength and, because of the vom- iting, his nutrition also suffers. Probably the most frequent com- plication is pneumonia' Whooping cough has been treated with the wonder-working substances, penicillin and the sulfonamide drugs, but apparent- ly these substances have little, if any, effect on the disease. On the other hand, they may be of some help in warding off complica- tions particularly pneumonia. - It is fortunate that children can be protected against whoop- | ing cough by giving them injec- tions, under the skin, of whoop- ing cough vaccine. As a rule, three injections of the vaccine are employed, given a week apart. There are many who favor the | giving of these injections when | the infant is about three months of age, early will do any particular good | since at this time the child st may have the immunity or pro- tection which he inherits from his parents. Then, too, the body tis- sues may not be able at this early , age to form antibodies against the whooping cough germs. However, ° jections for the prevention of whooping cough should be given by the time the baby is six months of age. If the vaccine fails to protect the child completely against the disease, it attack milder should the young- ster contract the infection. There are other measures of prevention which are helpful, The most important of these is to keep the child away from any- one who has a cough or fever. Whooping cough is caused by believe that injection given this | at least will serve to make the | | germs which. enter the body through the nose and mouth. | These germs are present in dia- charges from the nose and throat | of a patient who is infected. Thus, by keeping the child away from | those who are coughing or who | are sick, wh prevented. F.R.: Would it be possible for me to become pregnant before the regular period starts after a is born?

When it starts to slump and appear dull it is not | always easy to get it in form again. Shampoo Important The shampoo, of course, is most important. No matter what medium is used--soap, oil or cream sham- poo--every bit should be rinsed * * away. This is one good-looks duty about which one must not be casual, The only way to have a thorough rinsing is to use a bath spray and a strong current of water. The show- er strikes only the crown of the head; often the hair line at the sides is not prcperly treated. | Regular brushing is important at | all times but particularly before a shampoo. Brush your hair so the scalp almost tingles. Shampoo Medium Women with blonde or white hair must be exceedingly careful about the shampoo medium. If they are home-bosses, they should protect their thatches against dust, and have a weekly shampoo. Naturally blonde hair that is filled with golden lights, with per- haps little touches of red, is always admired and is sufficiently rare to make it highly prized, It reserves the most fastidious care; if it gets it, the change to darker tones is not so likely to appear, Fashion EXQUISITE accents beautify new afternoon and evenigg bags.

Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood.--Santa Claus leaned back, folded his hands and said, "I won't be having any Christmas; I'll be working, you know." "Yes, I've got two radio shows this week," he continued, "and that will keep me busy. Radio takes a lot more 'preparation than you'd think, "Besides, I have no family here and in the past year I've lived most- ly in hotels. What relatives I have left are in England, and my home in London was blitzed in the war." This was Edmund Gwenn, the bald, 70-year-old Briton whose per- formance as St. Nick in "Miracle of 34th Street" captured the fancy of millions. He was in his small dressing room, thumbing through his mail. "I must say that the post office' department has been very good about it," he said. "I've received many, many letters addressed merely, 'Santa Claus, Hollywood'." The actor finds the mail cheer- ing. He has had a tough time of it this year, being laid 'up for the first nine months by a serious op- eration. Only recently. did he re- turn to film work, in "Master of Lassie." Early Graves Hollywood producers are due for one of their periodic slowdowns, following the death of Mark Hel- linger. It takes such a shock to make some executives relax their breakneck pace. Hollywood's his. tory is filled with stories of men who worked themselves into early graves. Hellinger's death was particularly sudden. Only last week I talked with him at the Brown Derby and he seemed hale and hearty as he enthused about his future picture plans, hd 10-Second Review 1 "High Wall" (MGM) offers Rob- ert Taylor in about his best screen performance to date. The story brings nothing new, being the fam- iliar involvement of murder and mental troubles, but there are enough novel touches to sustain in- terest and provide excitement. Now how about a Taylor film in which he doesn't have to go off his nut? An Easy Chair Slump Is a Cruel Betrayer The most cruel adveritsement of a woman's age is a sitting position which suggests that she has stopped caring how he looks. All too familiar is that half-reclin- ing, sitting positon in a low-slung, comfy chair. Sitting in such a chair takes the sternest self-discipline to keep a skirt from hiking up; abdo- men and bust from looming promin. ently. If a woman can't discipline her posture while sitting in this type of chair, she should pass it up. To re- sist the temptation to slump in it, she needs to keep her lower back firmly braced against the back of the chair, to extend her legs at a right angle with her spine, to put feet squarely down on the floor and keep ankles together. That's sitting pretty -- a posture ! that suggests youth. The older a woman grows, the less she can af- ford to slump. It's much more shocking for an older woman to show her lingerie or kneecaps than it is for a young woman. Failure of a senior lady to keep her skirt prop- erly adjusted and her posutre under control suggests that she has stop- ped oaring. HOUSEHOLD HINT To clean a sandstone fireplace, dissolve four ounces of yellow laun- dry soap in enough hot water to make a quart of soap. Heat until the soap dissolves, allow to cool.

First I'd like your sugges- tions as to what to serve with the €gg-nog I've ordered made by a foodstore which makes this special- ty during the holidays. Also should I have an alternative for egg-nog? And, if so, what? --Elisabeth G. First, I hope you won't make the mistake made by so many hostesses who provide only sweet accessories with egg-nog. Beaten biscuits are the traditional and most successful food-companions of egg-nog. Their blandness is perfect with the sweet ness of the egg-nog. You can make these beaten biscuits, or they are available in packages in many bakeries and other foodstores. If you want to carry on the tradition Re-Decorate Dreaming of new-looking home?

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN with the extra-added-attraction, open the biscuits, butter them! thinly, heat them, and insert slivers of ham (traditionally Virginia ham); Or insert pieces of ham (or turkey or chicken) in tiny hot (or heated) 'tea biscuits or finger rolls. Or serve small, slim, bread-and-butter or chicken or turkey sandwiches. Or heated crackers that are definitely NOT sweet. Salted nuts are an~ other appropriate accessory. . There should be, I think, an al- ternative offered to the egg-nog. Most hostesses set a "double fea. ture" table, with the egg-nog ser-' vice--punch bowl and small glasses on a tray--at one end of the buf. fet table, and the service for tea or coffee at the opposite end. For the tea or coffee enthusiasts, there should be sandwiches with various kinds of simple fillings, slices of holiday fruit-cake or other kind of cake, "plain or fancy," or cookies. Or, perhaps, if the weather is cold, you might like to follow the idea of many smart hostesses and have a large covered tureen of steaming borsch (very gala color) or chicken or clam broth, to be served in bouil- lon cups, or tea cups, with salted crackers. Such a Plan Would Be Incorrect, "Forced" Dear Mrs. Beeckman: For the past eight months I have been going steady with a young fellow. He lives with his mother, who is his only close relative. He has told me that she is not the least bit interested in ever sending greeting cards for any holiday or other occasion. 'Would it be wrong for me to send, either for New Year's or any other occasion, cards to his relatives and to mine, sign= ing both our names. --JB.D, It would be decidedly incorrect for you to do this. It is correct for an engaged couple to send cards to relatives and very intimate friends, informal cards signed with thelr first names . . . but this is not cor. rect procedure for friends, even for those "going steady." And I'm fairly sure you friends mother would not approve! A Calendars As Place Cards For New Year's Dinner Dear Mrs. Beeckman: On New Year's night my husband and I are going to give a dinner, rather on the formal side, though, in the spirit of the holiday.
