WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ™~ PAGE FIVE BEAUTY FOR YOU Pet Your Hair; It Will Thrive By HELEN JAMESON Some tresses seem to have a lot of individuality, Some are good-na- tured, don't care how you arrange them. Others balk especially against a new hair-do. If you have the kind of hair that falls into pleasing lines, that doesn't stick to your scalp when you would have it bouffant and fluffy, you are in beauty luck. ' ition to their quality, the tresses retain a permanent for sy and ringlets remain in tight little coils until the shampoo ddte arrives, or the undulations go slinky at a touch of moisture in the air, Some hair is so dry and crisp that it breaks at the touch of the comb; other hair seems always to "be buttered. The lamentations of the oilies and the dries are equaily foud and distressing. Ome weuld fancy that few women are pleased with their hair, If it isn't poor quality, or bad behavior, it is drab or. Clean hair carries delightful lights and luster, is more likely to stay you than a hirsute growth that is neglected. And by clean we mean just that--not hair that has been hastily washed and has parti- cles of soap scum adhering to the shafts. Beauticians claim, and with reason, that the self-administered |* is often a menace, © Teen-agers, seeking the easiest way, Tub a bar of soap over their heads, then step under the shower. © What kind of soap it is doesn't seem to matter. Some soaps are suitable for hair renovation, others do not lather sufficiently to be properly distributed. If you have not found a medium for getting your locks shining bright and clean, try this: + Place a smal} bar of castile soap in a quart chason jar. Fill the jar with bailing water, add a half tea- spoonful of borax for soltening pur. poses, Let stand three days before using. The upper half of the jar will be filled with a clear liquid. Pour off half a cup, then fill the cup with | - ) . a. o We asume you have washed your combs and brushes carefully, * + @ hot water. Before applying, give the hair a rousing brushing then a rinsing with a bath spray and a strong current of water to remove surface dust, One soaping will not get the hair clean, If the hair is short, lather twice, each soapy application to be followed: by a prolonged rinsing. If you have hair of pigtail length, have three soapings, and be sure to rub the ends between sudsy palms. It is easy enough to get the growth close to the scalp clean, but the ends of the hair are dryer, must have careful attention. We take it for granted that you have washed your combs and brushes carefully. Avoid heavy set- ting lotions; they are drying. WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT Inviting a Boy to a Prom? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: In the quite near future our school is giving the Prom. for the senior class. I would very much like to in. vite a dear friend of mine who is in college many miles from here. But because of the distance and therefore of the traveling expenses I hesitate to write and invite him. Do you think it is proper for me to ask him? If so, what would you ad- vise me to write him, and should I | mention anything about the travel. ing expenses? ML. Since this is the young man you really want to have as your partner i mt the Prom, my advice is that you " te him and give him the oppor- | sunity to accept. if it is possible for him to do 80. Tell him all the deta:ls he must know .. . the occasion, the day and date, the place, and (if there are tickets to be bought) that you have the tickets. No need to write anything about the travel ex. penses, for he'll have to make his own decision about whether or not these will be an item for him to consider, Just write a cordial, di- reot invitation . . . I hope he can come! How About Christmas Tips To The And Others Who Serve You Well? Dear Mrs, Beeckman: I would very much like to know your opinion abou ttipping various deliverymen at Christmastime.

Several days before ' Christmas I paid my bill (which didn't include a tip), and it seems to me that he hesitated a moment, then said "Thank you," and left. (He left a calendar with the milk on the day he was to come to collect for the bill) Ever since, I have felt terribly embarrassed for I now realize that he really expect. ed a tip. Did I do wrong in not giv- ing him anything? * W.R. No, you did not do wrong in not giving a Christmas tip to the milk. man (or the postman, or the boy who delivers your newspaper) , . . but neither would you do wrong if you did give a Christmas remem- brance to these people who serve you well and courteously during the year. A tip is a gratuity, and a gra- tuity is "a present given in return for services." There really cannot be any definite rules-and.reguia- tions concerning the giving of tips + «+ « there is nothing compulsory either about the giving of a tip or the amount given. People have dif. ferent points of view about giving tips, different personal reactions in their valuation of service. If; on thinking it over, you decide that you would like to give the milkman a tip, it's not at ,all too late . . . when he comes next to col- lect the payment of the bill, you might give him whatever gratuity you wish, saying perhaps, "I would like to say 'Happy New Year' fo you with this, and my thank.you for your kind service to us." Coats For The Mothers At a Church edding? Dear Mrs, Beeckman: My son is to be married soon at an afternoon church wedding. Should the bride's mother and I, the bridegroom's mother, wear '| coats into the church, or just our dresses and hats? MC. In winter the mothers very often wear ensembles of dress-and-short- Je ket.or-bolero with a fur neck- et. If the church is really not ade- quately heated (it's often a prob- lem these days) it may be necessary for you to wear your coats, but it is, of course, more effective for the mcthers, as they make their impor. tant entrance up the aisle, not to wear heavy coats. DONT "CONGRATULATE" THE BRIDE! By Mrs. Beeckman . Overheard at a wedding reception: woman-guest greets bride in the recelving . line with an effusive "Joan, dear . , . congratulations to youl" You were wrong, lady . . . you should not "congratulate" thi bride or offer her your "congratul- ations." To the bride you offer your "Best wishes for your happiness, Joan dear," or "Every good wish for your happiness, always." Correctly you "congratulate" the bridegroom, or offer him your "congratulations." (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to guswer questions submitted by rea. ers.

BUNDESEN, M.D, Appendicitis Rarely Fatal WHERE medicine. is concerned, mot only the doctor but the general public-as well has a role to play in the saving of lives. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the great decrease in deaths from acute ap- pendicitis during the past 25 years. Much of this decrease must chalked up to the credit of plain Joe Doakes, who has taken the time and trouble ta listen to the warnings of the profession on this score. Thus, today most people know the symp- tom of appendicitis 50 well that it is not uncommon for the family to make a diagnosis even before the doctor arrives. " Appendicitis is not, as a rule, nowadays, a dangerous disease when recognized early and operated promptly by a competent doctor, and it is the awareness on the part of the public that has saved many lives, The symptoms of acute appendi. citis consist of pain in the abdomen, which usually is limited to the right lower part also, there is stiffness or rigidity of the muscles over the ap. pendix, together with. tenderness. There may be an increase in the number of white cells in the blood, some fever, sickness at the stomach, some vomiting, and constipation and even diarrhea. As I sald before, appendicitis is rarely dangerous when the inflamed appendix is removed by operation before it ruptures to scatter its in- fected contents over the lining membrane of the abdomen. How well this lesson has been learned is shown by a study of a large number of cases, which shows that ten to twenty years ago fully one-fourth of the patients with acute appendi. citis already had a ruptured appen- dix when admitted to the hospital for operation. Today--and for the last five or six years--only one-twentieth de- velop this serious condition. And recently, of course, even many of these have been saved through the use of penicillin and the sulfa drugs to combat the peritonitis, which de. velops when the appendix ruptures. Another important factor is re- ducing deaths from appendicitis is the better understanding we have today of the care of patients fol- lowing operation. This includes the withholding of food for a period time carrying from twelve to twenty- | four hours following operation, and making sure that the patient gets plenty of fluids. The giving of- fluids is particularly important when per. ftonitis has developed. Salt and sugar solutions are given by injec- tion into a vein or under the skin. It has also been found that when there is distention of the abdomen, the giving of oxygen for five or ten minutes out of each hour is bene- ficial, It is also known that the proteins in the blood may be deduced follow- ing operations. These proteins can be replaced by injection of whole blood into. a vein, as well as by using what are known as protein hydro. lysates. Should an abscess form follow- ing an appendicitis operation, surg- ical drainage should be carried out as soon as advisable. Thisis also important in assuring prompt re- Beginner's Favourite / z 7082 Wie, [oonty / You can have the lovely acces- sories you want!

What are you doing about it? This girl doesn't know what to do:-- "I'm a girl of 17 and people say I'm very good looking, but still I don't have any boy friends, nor any dates. Please tell me what to do." It 'usually takes more than aver. age good looks to put you on the date list of boys you'd like to know. Too many girls believe that clothes and looks are the answer to every- thing. Did you ever hear of person- ality? A friendly smile for the girls and boys you see every day in school? Do you belong to at least one school club, go to school games and take 'part in other high school activities? Do you ever give a party or get several girls and boys togeth- er at your house? You'll find that fun, friendships and dates will take a little effort on your part. Life is like that for - nearly all of us--you can't have fun without doing some of the work or making some of theearrangements to provide it. What have you done lately to provide fun for you and your friends? ' An ardent Romeo won't appear out of the wide blue yonder just be. cause you're not bad looking.

Next time you and Jack go' to "| English class, flash a smile and chat about yesterday's game or today's assignment--anything to break the ice. Play table tennis with Bob or do algebra homework with Bill; it's a start toward friendships and dates. Why not plan a Saturday skating or skiing party and picnic with sev. eral other girls? Each girl can invite a boy and one of them can along an extra boy to complete the picnic crowd, if you don't known anybody well enough by that time. Girls provide the food; boys meke the fire.
