THURSDAY, JANUARY 29, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Keeping Fingernails in Form By HELEN In pre-war days, Mrs. Whosis had a maid and no fingernail sor- rows, Once a week she trotted to the beautytorium, had a shampoo, waveset, manicure and a nice chin-chat with her pulchritude specialist. She never had to swish a dust cloth or wash pots and pans. She dealt the cards at the bridge party with grace and pride, knowing that her hands were with- out a blemish, Times are different now. Mrs. Whosis, is buckling down to hard work. She not only washes dishes, but also gets down on fe soft white knees and wipes up the bath- room floor. She isn't grumbling. ! She takes it in her stride, But when she looks at her paws she wants to lift up her voice, give vent to a wail that can be heard for a mile, She hadn't realized that housework raises the dickens with hands and nails, so has not at- tended to, her good-looks duties, First, Mrs. Whosis must look into the matter of household cleaning agents. If strong ones are employ= ed in the war against dirt, she must wear rubber gloves, otherwise |. the nails suffer, lose luster, get so dry that they break easily, Hang- nails form, and hangnails can drive a woman crazy. Protection is the thing. Hands that do rough work and come in contact with grime soon look old. There is a reason for that. The natural oil is constantly removed; the skin becomes coarse, tissues flabby, Mrs, Whosis must realize that dirt is her enemy. As far as possible it must not come in con- tact with her hands. ' While a 'lotion is helpful and should be used fre€ly, still the hands need lubricating. At night, after creaming her face, Mrs. sis should devote a few minutes to her work-worn hands, frictioning the cream into the knuckles and over the cuticle that surrounds the nails. Massage of the nails will help them retain their shell-like deli- cacy. While the home manicure is not JAMESON Mrs, Wh hard work, LAE BR J as satisfactory as the professional treatment, it will suffice. Remove the polish. Shape the nails with a steel file, forming a pleasing oval line, Run the orange. wood stick under the nail eave to bring out little shags that remain; remove them with the beveling file or emery board. ' Scrub the hands well with hot 8 water, rinse, dry and apply Who- | cuticle cream or mineral oil to each nail. Work up the flesh with the orangewood stick. If you flush up a hangnail, snip it away care- fully with the curved, needle-point scissors. A second washing is necescsary. Then on with the polish. That's all. The President is Determined To Add a Balcony to Whitehouse Washington--(CP)--When Pres- ident Truman wants a morning plunge he dives into the purified waters of a gleaming private pool; when Washington co:respondents get inquisitive they crowd into the president's office and fire ques- tions at him, But it was not always' that way and Truman took time off from more serious matters to tell the reporters about. it the other day when they resumed queries about that controversial balcony he wants to nang on the south porti< co of the executive mansion. . It started when Truman denied * any extension travelling plans this presidential = election - year and someone suggested perhaps he planned a "back porch campaign" from the balcony the fine arts commissioners don't want him to put on the White Houve. That wasn't a back porch, the president reminded the newspaper men. It was the front porch in reality because the gouth portico once was the main entrance to the White House. g It had a lawn as it has now and at the foot of it was the old Ches- apeake and Ohio canal, the presi- dent said. John Quincy Adams, when he was president (1825-28) used to go down to the canal every morning for a swim, the president said. Warming to the historical sub- ject he recalled that there was a woman reporter those days who WHY NOT TRY THIS? ® Don't envy those who are fresh and vital when the evening begins. Do as thousands of smart people are 8 -- drink 4 cup of Ovaltine night and morning. For Ovaltine does three things to help you feel fresh and vital all day through: First, taken warm at bedtime, it fosters sound refreshing sleep, without drugs.

She got her story. Now the south portico looks over a tree-shaded, enclosed lawn, with avenues and monuments and parks, lands beyond stretching half a mile to the Potomac. The canal is gone.

BUNDESEN, M.D. NERVOUS SYSTEM DISORDER Multiple sclerosis is a disorder of the nervous system in which wide- ly scattered damage occurs to the nervous tissue in the brain and sping] cord, and is reflected in dif- ficulty in the use of various mus- cles, particularly those governing walking and speech. The condition is tragic, not only because it is long continued, but because in the past there has been no treatment for it. Some patients do improve nf themselves after a time, but dar the greatest num- Ber continue in a steadily down-hill course. Exact Cause i 1 Despite much research, the exact cause of multiple sclerosis has never been discovered. Recently, however, a most promising theory has been advanced. According to this idea, the ultimate cause is thought to be in some disorder of the blood's clotting mechanism, On this basis, it is suggested that the formation of blood clots in the tiny veins of the brain and spinal cord bring about the widespread, "pin- prick" damage to the nervous yss- tem so characteristic of multiple sclerosis, ' With a working theory of the na- ture of the disease, it was a short step to devise treatment with a preparation, known as dicoumarin, which has the effect of diminishing the clotting power of the blood. For this reason there is some danger of hemorrhage in the use of ou- marin; hence, it must be given carefully and in small doses under the constant supervision of a phy- sician, In carrying out the treatment, a number of patients were put in a hospital for two weeks, and the effects of the dicoumarin on the blood were determined. During the treatment, the patients were test- ed from time to time and, if any signs of threatened hemorrhage de- veloped, the use of the drug was A Baby, a 7 Ball and a Bonnet LYN JO-ANN FITZSIMMONS Fitsstmmons, Oakville, only daughter of Mr, and Mrs. W.

Forty-three cases were treated with the preparation over a period of from six to forty-seven months, Twenty-seven of the patients were those who had recurrent attacks and, in twenty-three of these, the treatment prevented any further attacks. In four cases, relapses did occur, In nine of the remaining sixteen atients, in whom the disease was coming progressively worse, no effect from the dicoumarin was found. In the remainin seven cases, it appeared that the use of the drug was of some help, since no changes in the severity of the disorder could be detected. _ Improvement in the already ex- isting symptoms cannot be expect- ed with the use of this preparation. All that can be hoped for is that the disease can be kept from hetoming worse, The treatment is helpful only while it is being used, and the patient, if he is to be helped by it, should continue using the prepara- tion the rest of his life. Of course, treatment of this type can only be used under the direc- tion of a physician, as a careful check of -the blood must be made from time to time to make sure the right amount of dicoumarin is be- ing employed. Furthermore, reac- tions may occur in the form of bleeding pm, nosebleed, and pains in the back. When these symptoms develop, the use of the jrug must be stopped for the time ng, UESTIONS AND ANSWERS _N.B.: One of my breasts is no- ticeably smaller than the other.

It gives them poise and dis- tinction. The pose of the head is as important as the pese of the body if you are seeking pulchri- tude- laurels, if you would be love- ly "all over" without a detail miss- The head should follow the up- right line of the spinal column, It should take the middle path, should not droop or be held back. So be level headed, Challenging Appearance You know the girl who sticks out her chin, She has a challenging, belligerent appearance, What's worse, she looks down her nose at her fellow beings, which is not a pretty habit, as everyone will agree. The thrown-back . position makes for a bossy attitude. To let the head droop is to take on a forlorn, dis- couraged, weeful mien. Never must you catch yourself = doing that. You'll be put right out of this beauty class. How a woman carries herself discloses her character, whether she is spirited or spiritless, whether she is meek or domineering. As we have said many times before, many qualities of beauty start in the mind, " Throw Head Forward Center your head over your chest on a line with the middle of the pelvis, Throw your head forward, return to first position; send the head back as far as you can. Are these movements done easily? If not you are a bit muscle bound, possibly because you have not been carrying your head as you should. It is only when the head is in nor- mal position that the muscles of the neck are free of. strain. Head balance means that you will carry your millinery in a jaun. ty manner, that your hairdo will look its tip-toppingest best. It is often difficult to make a distinction between the amenities of social and business life. Good manners are as important in an office as in a drawing room, perhaps even more so, really; since one's living may depend upon it in business! Introductions are per- formed in exactly the same man- ner anywhere, "Miss Secretary, may I present Mr. Client." Natur- ally common sense applies too. A man does nof rise from his desk every time h§ is approached by a woman office associate. Special em- phasis should be put on telephone courtesy in a business organization, I don't think that the bosses can possibly be aware of the indiffer- ent, distant manner in which their phones are sometimes ~answered-- of the rude interrogation that a caller is ofteri put through. 'Mr. Boss may need to be shield- ed from the public but it can be done graciously by his, secretary, rather than the all too often snap- pish brushoff. Another thing to guard against in an office is fam- illarity with your posworkers. The use of given names petween em- ployer and employee 'is definitely out of place. The use of "Mr." or "Miss" should be standard office practice, even though Susie, Courtesy and Politeness : Important Office Etiquette working hours, your bosom friend. Another infraction of good man- ners in a business organization is the habit of barging into an office ere dictation is being given, or a conference being held. The well- mannered associate, or even client, can let his presence be known, but wait until Mr. Boss indicates he is free. And here again, I may be on dangerous ground, but I think that wives should pay more attention to good manners in an office. When visiting her husband's office, a wife has no more prerogative than any other office caller. The gra- cious woman will greet the recep- tionist, asking that she be an- nounced, and then will wait in the reception room until her husband ccmes to her. No woman with any | tact will invade her husband's pri- vate office unannounced, When telephoning her husband, a secre- tary or telephone operator is real- ly on the spot when Mr. Boss" wife demands to speak with him on the phone and the employee knows that it would be inconvenient to interrupt him. The wife should be considerate enough to give her name, and ask if it is convenient to speak to him at that time, who | Times Cazette classified ads pay Asis at the desk beside you is, after | 4 --Why not try one today. | carries" the semi-documentary tech- i plainly SIZE, NAME, ADDRESS Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood--(AP) -- At a time when most film stars are hunting for social and career security, Paul Henreid is climbing out on a limb with his own production. The ac- tor is prcducing 'Hollow Triumph" at Eagle-Lion, and I mean pro- ducing. One of his main concerns is pro- tecting the script from attacks by the Johnston office and Eagle- Lion higher-ups. "This is the story of an outlaw who ccommits a series of crimes because he is naturally bad," Hen- ried related. "They wanat us to include some justification for his action, but there can be none. He is driven to crime by his warped | personality. 'The tendency today is to cut or dilute a strong story to make it suitable for both adults and child- ren. Producers are forced by cen- sors to omit or water down epi- sodes in which sex, crime or un- healthly emotions are strongly por- trayed. Thus, the public has to go to books and plays for realistic drama." He advocates two classes of pic- tures: light entertainment for all audiences and adults-only films, with no punches pulled.

VICKS VA-TRO-NOL | (AMPBELLS FLOUR ~~ FOR LIGHTER - MORE TENDER PIES, CAKES AND PASTRIES WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT Mispronouncing a Name? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My mother had a very charming habit of using the name of the person to whom she was speaking: for example, using the name after her "How do you do," also when 'she said good-by, and often during the conversation. Even as a quite young child I remember how en- gaging this was, and I "copied" this 'habit of hess and have al- ways held it. But I've realized late- ly that sometimes it gets me into a bit of difficulty, and so this is my question: If I am not absolutely sure that I caught correctly the name of.the person to whom I am introduced, is it' proper for me to ask the person to repeat his or her name? I find 'that sometimes, in trying to avoid doing this, I may perhaps mispronounce the name, or at least mumble it so that the mispronunciation may not be no- ticed. What is your suggestion? Carola D. L. What a charming and appealing memory, this one of yours concern- ing your mother's use of names ... it is indeed a lovely habit, and I completely understand that your impulse to use names frequently might, sometimes, lead to the dif- ficulty you mention. However, please don't give up this so-pleas- ant habit, and, on the other hand, don't attempt to guess at a name you haven't heard distinctly. Re- member #hat a person's name is very precious to him . . . that he wants it pronounced correctly . . . and doesn't at all mind being asked, "I'm so sorry, but I did not hear your name clearly ... and I really want to know it." Bride's Father May Be a Member of the Receiving-Line Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I would like very much to have my father, who is to give me in marriage, stand with my mother in the receiving-line at our wedding reception, and he would like to do this. But we have been told that this is not correct procedure. Isn't it? And, if it isn't, why isn't it? It seems to us that, as host, Fath- er should receive the guests, with Mother as hostess. Lolo. There is no reason in the world Start Moth Hunting Early In February Of course it really, is a year round job but the important time is when the moth starts housekeeping in February. There is nothing like buying a good moth spray and using it at least once a week from February until July. The vacuund cleaner is also a great help. Moths gather in loose boards and in cold air registers and in' the lining 'at the bottom of stuffed chairs, I take the lining right off the bottom of a chair if I find signs of moths in it. Badly eaten upholstery is useless. Spray your chesterfields every week at this time of year, turning the cushions over at the same time. Put all small woollen articles in strong paper bags and spray first, turn in the top so that nothing can creep in. Old pillow cases (without holes) or factory cotton bags are wonderful for storing things in as no moth can chew through factory cotton. Brush all pockets and the cuffs of trousers. That is always a place moths head for.

He is the host of this important occasion, and it is quite natural for him to wish to stand with his wife, the hostess, to greet and welcome their guests. This is not, of course, a necessary procedure, nor, in some communities is it customary , . . for many fathers of brides prefer to mingle with the wedding guests, making necessary introductions and seeing that all is well with the comfort and happiness of the wed- ding guests. Should a Secretary Introduce Herself? Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I have just started my position as secretary to a prominent doctor, and since he is a consultant only, many patients come from other places, near and far, to see him. When either the patient, or the doc. tor who is with a patient, intro- duces himself or herself to me, should I introduce myself? To me this doesn't seem necessary. If you agree, what receiving-formula would you suggest I use? Florence M. In most cases I suggest as your "receiving-formula," in answer to the person's saying, "I am Mrs. Brown" (or "I am Dr. Foster"), "Yes, Mrs. Brown (or "Dr. Fos ter"), Dr. Wells is expecting you « «+ I'll tell him you are here." If, as might be, it seems practical to introduce yourself, say, "I am Miss Martin, Dr. Wells' secretary." Are You Courteous to Those Whe Serve You?
