THURSDAY, APRIL 1, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU Treat Nail Cuticle Gently By HELEN If you are accustomed to having professional care for your finger- nails, seek an expert operator. Next to hair dyeing; manicuring is the most delicate work done in beauty . shops. Permanent waving shampoo. ing, facials,' scalp treatments and finger waving are all more or less routine. But when giving a mani. cure an operator is dealing with the sensitive flesh that surrounds the nails and that is especially sus. ceptible to infection. . The customer should not insist up- on a lot of snipping and cutting; a tiny wound can invite bacteria to move in and cause trouble. The ex. perienced operator will use nippers rather than curved, needle-point scissors. She will condition the flesh before treatment by soaking the fingers in warm soap suds, rins. ing it away, applying an oil or cream. She detaches the skin from the nail fabric by gentle manipula- tions of the crangewood stick. If hangnails are present, they must be removed, but with pains. taking care. Too much cutting means that nature will build thicker and coarser tissue which, eventu. ally, will become troublesome, cause the nails to appear untidy. Hasty or ilful treatment can result in plenty of trouble, Many women who, in pre.war days, had leisure for restful. hours ab the beautytorium are now buck- ling down to hard labor in the home. Only the affluent can afford household help, even if they can find anyone who will lend a hand: With cooking and laundry work, . and children to care for. Time is at a woman's heels. So now she sham. poos her hair, has learned to give herself a wave 'set, anoints her complexion at bed time and prays that the years will be good to L.r. Her hands and fingernails are taking a beauty beating: The soft. ening lotion will keep her hands in fair condition, but nails require fre. quent attention. They should, by rights, be creamed every night if the surrounding cuticle is to. re. main soft and pliable, free of the nail fabric. They can get the leav.

By MRS, CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I dearly love my "only and when he wrote me from his present home in a city not far from here and told me that he had be. come engaged to a girl who lives there, I wrote her at once my fe. licitations and my happiness about the engagement. I wrote her a most friendly letter and addressed it to "Dear Dorothy." She answer- ed with a friendly letter, but I must admit I was disappointed to have her letter begin, "Dear 'Miss Robinson." Now I have just receiv. ed another letter from her, telling me all~the plans for their small, informal wedding -- to be held in her home--and inviting me most cordially to come to the wedding. Again her letter begins "Dear Miss Robinson." Do you think this address.formality is a reproof to me for addressing her as "Dear Dorothy?" 1 am sure- she must know of my nephew's and my devo- tion to each other... her letters have mentioned this and she seem. ed delighted at it. . so why the] formality? 1 want so much to be an "aunt" to her as I am_to her husband-{o.be! : K. R. And, of course, that is, I'm sure, just what she is eagerly waiting for you to tell her. . .that you would like to have her call you "Aunt Katherine," or "Katherine" _or by whagever name your nephew lovingly calls you! You were en. tirely right in addressing your let. ter to her "Dear Dorothy". . .and she shows perfect taste in address. ing you as "Dear Miss Robinson' UNTIL you give her permission to use the more familiar form of name. A well bred girl. . and your nephew's fiancee is obviously that .. no matter how close her mew relationship in "a family is, court. eouisly waits for an older person to suggest that she use the informal name. Doubtless you'll be. sending her your acceptance now and your wedding present. . .and perfect time to suggest this more endear. ing form of name for you! Clergyman is Asked to Say Grace Dear Mrs. Beeckman: In the three years my husband and I have been married, we have visited his famiyl in the adjoining county several times. His father is a clergyman (my husband is a doctor) and, of course, at his own table he always says grace. In our house my husband always says grace when he is at home; when he is away, I say it. Now very soon my husband's parents are coming to visit us. While they are here, should I ask his clergyman-father to say grace? Reader Yes; when a clergyman is pres. ent it is customary to ask him to say grace. And I am sure you and your husband would wish to make this gesture of honor to your hus. band's father. : SINGER SEWING CENTRE RENT A PORTABLE ELECTRIC In your own nephew, DO ABOUT nsportation Responsibility 1 Mrs. Beeckman: : My fiance's parents are coming to our wedding frcem a quite dis- Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood -- (AP) -- Olivia De Havilland, who is eager to star in "Romeo and Juliet" on Broadway, seeks Michael Redgrave to appear with her. "Max Reinhardt, who discovered Olivia for his "Midsummer Night's Dream" in 1934, told her she would be a perfect Juliet, and she has, wanted to play the role ever since. She hopes to do the play during the next New York season and Redgrave is her first choice as co- star. Slowing Down Fred MacMurray, who has been slowing down his movie-making pace, swears he will break away from Hollywood this summer. "Unless of course, Miss Bergman wants me for a picture," he jests. He has ised. his children he will spend all sumenher with them on his northern California ranch. Robert Preston and Robert Mit. chum were engaging in a strenu- ous slugfest for a bar-room brawl in "Blood on the Moon." The scene was stcpped by a pained cry from Preston. "Did I hit you?" asked Mitchum. "No. you stepped on my toe," replied Preston.

FOR SMALL-WAISTED New York -- For those who have remained slim through the years, the gathered-at-the-waistline pet- ticoat is the favorite to give a rounded hipline. But for the more mature figure, the gored model with fullness flaring from a smooth hip- line is preferred. All the gaiety of the dirndl model is retained with- out the bulkiness of the waistline. Rioilpses, ruffles and pleats add | even more gaiety to the bold plaid taffeta petticoat which has reign- {ed as queen of the petticoat family since its revival. GLAMORIZING Successful Home Shampoo By HELEN FOLLETT After thoroughly wetting the hair, pour on shampoo and work up a good lather. -> CONSIDERING the mistreat. ment some 'girls give their glory crests, it is a worgler that human wool can stand the strain. If one won't do anything to help keep the hair healthy, lustrous and beautiful, one can at least refrain from doing it injury. The structure of a hair shaft is delicate, but it has marvel. ous endurance. Still, there is a lim. At. High school girls, reluctant to dig into the weekly allowance for professional attentions, are likely to use any soap that happens to be around when they give their locks a sudsy ducking. More than one mother has been horrified to find daughter washing her precious tresses with some household clean. ing agent. The practice of adding a little ammonia as a water soften. er, is deplorable. A bit too much and the hair shaits are scorched. One cannot be too particular, too fussy, about the shampoo medium. Why pour troubles on one's head? Cosmetic counters offer a wide as. sortment of snampoos, liquid soaps, creams and oils that will make a perfect job of putting the silky strands in fine condition.

Yes. . . rising and shaking hands with her guests, as they arrive and as they leave, are her gracious ges. tures of courtesy and hospitality, e Don't Boast About Being "Frank" By Mrs. Beeckman Watch out when you hear those words "I'm going to be frank with you," or "I "hope you don't mind my being frank. I always believe in being frank." If you don't want to have your feelings hurt, you'd bet. ter gather your wits about you, and your coat, and be on your way as soon as possible. There .is all the difference in the world between a pleasant, wholeosme honesty and frankness. Frankness is a social barbed wire. . .it hurts. But hon- esty can be kind, js tactful helpful. FASHION'S FAVORITE Perennial--the first spring color is navy blue. This season, as in the past, many of the better houses are featuring navy blue, and it is smart--smart for now and just as smart as the season advances. One of tlie new spring tricks is the use of taffeta on crepe. It may be a sissy collar, cuffs and a deep flounce, or it may be a taffeta midriff and huge hip bow, in fact the oombining of the two mater. ials, in almost any. way is right for this season. Another spring trick which New York likes are the spring blossoms to clip on your pumps, your gloves (at the wrist) your collar or to en. twine among thé pearls or beads of of your necklace. - The cocoon silhouette is very new--and very smart.

TIPS FOR TEENS Ignore Unkind Remarks By - LINOR WILLIAMS "I used to have fun with a crowd of girls and boys in my neighbor. bo going around with\-#/em? I hate to give them up, because I get along fine with all the others, but th boy's remarks make me feel bad, then I wonder if I should stop go- ing to their parties." It would be ideal if everybody liked us, but it's inevitable that some won't, because we're all so different. So don't brood about the ones who decided you're not their dish. Don't think about whether they like you or not; forget it and think about liking them. Concen- trate on their good points, the qualities you like best in them. Compliment them on their fine qualities and tell their friends what you like about them, so they will pass on the good word. Tell Bill that you think Jack has the nicest smile and that smile will beam on you. Complimi Joan on her backhand stroke and she'll like to play tennis with you. You can do this sincerely, because everybody has admirable qualities and talent or ability of one kind or another and we all love to have them recognized, acknowledged and praised. Ignore that boy's remarks. When APPLE GRIDDLE CAKES (Makes 24 medium.sized cakes) ..

KARN'S DRUG STORE 28 KING EAST PHONE 78 (Opposite Post Office) A Physiciln Advises You By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. POLICY OF TONSILLECTOMY THESE days operation to remove the tonsils is much less common than it' was even ten years ago. There was a time when removal of the tonsils was considered almost a cure-all for the ailments of child. hood. Nowadays, the operation is undertaken only when some definite condition in the tonsils seems to be actively endangering the child's health. The principal justification for re. moving the tonsils in either adults or children is recurrent attacks of infection, If a child of five years or older has three attacks of acute tonsilitis in a year many physicians think the tonsils should be taken out. Abscess Formed The operation should also be done if an abscess has formed in the tis. sues around the tonsils because once this has happened, it is likely {o- occur again unless the tonsils are removed. Furthermore the oc. currence of such abscesses means that there is infection deep in the tonsils, En argement of the tonsils as well as the adenoids may block the breathing passages. When such blocking occurs, in a child under flve years of age removal of the adénoids alone often is sufficient to permit normal breathing through the nose. Thus today there is less tendency to remove the tonsils just because it has been decided that the adenoids should be taken out. It is not thought to be good policy to remove the tonsils in an effort to | prevent colds, because the operation does not help in many such cases, Glands Enlarge In the neck there are glands known ds lymph glands. When the tonsils are infected, these glands en. large. If such enlargements remain over a long period of time, removal of the tonsils is probably advisable. Still another reason for removing tonsils is deafness due. to blocking of the tube which connects the throat with the middle ear. Of course, the adenoids as well should be removed in such cases. Cases of Asthma Sometimes removal of the tonsils is suggested in cases of asthma or nasal allergy when there is a con. tinuous mucous discharge from the nose. However, the operation is sel- dom of much benefit in these cases and has been thought to aggravate the asthma in some instances. Removal of the tonsils may also be considered in chronic arthritis and in kidney inflammations, Of course, the physician will have to decide in such cases whether or not there is a likelihood that the tonsils are acting as a focus of infection or that germs and their poisons are passed into the blood 'and carried to other parts of the body. If he believes this is the case, then oper. ation on the tonsils will probably be of benefit. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A Reader: I have large black spots which appear on my chin.
