~ PAGE SEVEN MONDAY, APRH. 19, 1948 BEAUTY FOR YOU -- In Defence of Make-u By HELEN Women fancy that the synthetic blush and the poppy-red lipstick are modern institutions. Tut-Wyt! They're wrong. Way back in 1 Max Beerbohm wrote: "Fashion has made Jezebel surrender her monopoly of the rouge pot." Make- UL was not respectable, but some girls used it on the sly, and so skill- fully that nobody suspected its presence. Max was living in Paris when he made this adverse critic- ism. French women played with glowing beauty aids long before English and American women got the idea that it was possible to im- prove upon nature. The lipstick was used in Uncle Sam's domain openly and without shame at the end of World War I. When the boys came back from ocerseas they began to talk about] wild women. Mamas scolded their daughters for resorting to cosme- tic trickery, but soon the mamas themselves - sneaked to cosmetié counters and toted home complex- jon paint and calcimine. We'll say this much for the old girls: They did their best to make fakeq loveli- ness look like the real thing. They had to. The men wouldn't stand for it. They later bawled out their wives for getting their hair bobbed, and jawed about blood-red finger- nails. And what good did it dp? Grandma has lined up with the rest of the girls, gets her perman- ent, uses factory blushes, tints her lips and fingernails. And grandpa thinks it is just wonderful the way she .stays so young-looking, belies her age. Fine business, Make-up gives her freshness of spirit, as well as freshness of complexion. . As the natural blush seems to have disappeared, it is fortunate . that cosmetic chemists have de- vised such luscious substitutes. Of course, no girl should abuse this privilege. That's the rub. One wonders just. why one seer so few rosy cheeks of the natural kind. They are supposed to be the by-product of good nutrition, brisk circulation and 'animation. Every year we learn more and more about the need for wise, eating habits. The board isn't groaning, as in the yore time, but we get a greater JAMESON Why has the natural blush disappeared? ® + 4 variety of foods than did our fore- mothers, eat more fruits, green salads and vegetables, drink more milk, get vitamins and mineral salts. Women have more outdoor life today -than in the past. We're not afraid of sunlight, as women were in the days of chiffon veils and parasols. Houses are better venti- lated. The daily bath is a general practice, Everything is more fav- orable to health. Why then has the natural blush disappeared? Must be the hectic life-noise, traffic hurry, nervous tension--most of all, not sleep. Well, if we can't grow our own roses, we can transplant them from the rouge pot. Let us be thankful! Magazine Survey Pictures Typical American Husband Cohtrary to popular opinion, the typical American husband is thor- oughly domestic; he helps do the dishes 825% of the time, helps make the beds 50% of the time, and hélps vacuum, scrub floors and wash clothes one-third of the time. In addition, he almost always tends the furnace and totes the garbage outdoors. At least, that's the com- posite picture given by 200 wives who took part in a survey conduct- ed by Mademoiselle's LIVING mag- azine. Here are more revelations about _ the American husband: He is blond and medium-short, easy to get along 'with, sleeps in pajamas (all or either half), leaves them lying around in the morning, and doesn't tidy up the bathroom id A Time-Saver!

He prefers a shower to a bath, but doesn't sing in it. For breakfast he likes orange juice, eggs, toast and coffee, which he bolts down grumpily. He likes to cook hamburgers, spaghetti and cmelets. He's a good father, likes to give the baby its bottle and changes diapers adeptly. His worst habits: reading news- papers instead of talking to his wife; strewing papers around the house; flirting with other women at parties 40% of the time (but he rarely dates them). Here are the nicest things he has ever sald to hig wife: "1 love you." "I've found an apartment." "You're the best little wife in the world." And, one wife reported, "OK. have it your way; we'll get mar- ried." How to Remember Not to Forget! Many people are troubled with bad memories for small details, such as remembering to mail a let- ter or to put the bottle out for the milk man, or pay the hydro bill Sometimes these lapses of memory cost us money, and more than often they are embarrassing. The causes of these memory blackouts are not serious or cases for a psychia®rist. In most cases they happen to the very busy person ... one who has a dozen and one things on her mind, and the letter, the milk bottle cr the bill is just one more of the least impor- tant, at the time. The best way to overcome these forgetful moments is to have a small notebook and pencil handy in your purse or on the desk, and write down at the earliest possible moment, at once, if possible, What u are supposed to remember. s ifn you will say that this is just one more thing to remember. . to buy a pencil and paper. . .but try and do it and you will find that your list of forgotten deeds will be cut in half, and as you become accus- tomed to using your bopk and pen- cil, it will be almost completely eliminated. * The same procedure might be used in helping yourself remember a good story which you have. heard or read. A short story, that Is, which you want to use either as en- tertainmemt at your sewing group, or in an address to the women of some organization, 1s ne maly parts of the story fixe n you mind and THEM DOWN. . Remember that over half the for- getting occurs in the first few mom- ents so write your facts down at your first opportunity. If you don't get a chance right away, say the main parts of the story over to yourself once or twice, and as soon as you can, try the story out on a member of the family. There is no aid to memory like repeating aloud several times what you wisi to re- member. As a final help to. remembering review your day in your ming just before ycu go to sleep. Keep your book and pencil at your beside and if you remember something that must be done the next day, WRITE IT DOWN, then and there. If you remember scrmething that you should have done and didn't, and which can just as well be done the next day, WRITE IT DOWN. If it is irreparable, write a me to yourself to do what you cap to apclogize or rectify, if possible. Most people are reasonable if harfftled with tact, and you will probably be forgiven if you don't let the same mistake occur too often. Never use hot water to remove egg stains. Heat makes the stains harder to get out. enough | A Physician Advises You By HENMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. IODINE IN DAILY DIET THE body uses certain substanc- es--chiefly minerals and chemicals --in infinitesimal amounts. To those of us who are used to dealing in ounces and pounds, the term "spbck" would best describe the quantities needed. Since these are so small, the average man or wom an might reason that going with- out them altogether could d¢ no great harm. Just the reverse is true, and the penalty of depriving the body of only a few grains of essential substance can often be disastrous. You could, for instance, put the daily ration of iodine on the head it would result in all kinds of dis- orders. Iodine is particularly needed as one of the ingredients used by the thyroid gland to form the secretion which regulates the speed at which are carried out. Food and Water In many parts of the world, food and water may be lacking in iodine, Such areas are known as goitre dis- tricts, because the iodine leads. to enlargment of the tryrond gland or goiter. The Great Lakes area in this country is one of the largest goiter districts in: the world, Studies have been carried out on large numbers of children which areas receiving enough iodine grow almost half an inch taller than those who do not get the iodine, Their weight also is greater. These studies have also indicated that the birth weight of infants whose mothers received iodine dur- ing. pregnancy was greater than those of mothers who did not get this © mineral. Then, too, it has been shown that the feeding : of milk with an increased iodine con- tent to children living in the goiter areas resulted in more rapid and regular growth. : Another Study interesting study was comparing the num- Another carried out, |ber of stillbirths which occurred in| women who received iodine during During a five-year period, in a group of almost 20,000 women, there were six times as many still- births in the women who did not receive iodine prenatally as in the women who received idoine. From these studies, it was concluded that stillbirths in human beings may be |due in many cases to iodine defic~ ency. . It seems definite that the addi- tion of iodine in the diet of young children living in the goiter belts is necessary for their normal growth and development As I said before, the human re- quirement of iodine is small, the daily amount. having been calculat- ed as 200 micrograms for a persno weighing 150 pounds. A micro- gram is one-thousandth of a gram and it takes 30 grams to make an ounce. Since the amount needed is so small, a. convenient way of get- ting ti is through the use of table salt to which iodine has been add- ed. Todized salt can be bought in any grocery store and its use is to be encouraged as a means of mak- ing sure that everybody gets suf- ficient idodine, in the daily diet. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J. E, I suffer from hoarseness and am irritable and nervous. I am always trying to clear my throat. What would you suggest? A. Long-continued hoarseness may be due to several disorders, such as tumor growths or infection cf the larynx or volce-box. An examination with a laryngo- scope, an instrument made up of a tube and light which makes it possible for the physician to Mok directly into the larynx, would be advisable.

The lush Pasadena. glade, a movie location site for 25 yeafs, is being offered for sale by its owners. With its passing will go the ghosts of many a bygone movie glory. George Arliss trod over the vast lawns as the great prime minister, Disraeli. Greta Garbo looked soul- ful as she sniffed an armful of daisies for "Inspiration." The sprightly figure of George M. Co- han sauntered among the precisely clipped hedges as "The Phantom President." Worked For Weeks Little Freddie Bartholomew work- ed in the gardens for weeks as David Copperfield. Clara Bow and .| Buddy Rogers romped through "Get Your Man" and Ronald Colman played cricket there in "Raffles." In more recent times, Dotty La- mour has paddled in its artificial lake as a jungle princess. Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh spent their stormy marriage there in "Gone With the Wind." Vanishing Castles Palaces, castles and mansions have been raised on the grounds, only to disappear again at the hands of film construction crews. The gardens were created back in 1900 by Mrs. Lily Busch, who is reported to have put $1,000,000 into making its 39 acres a botanical wonder. Every day at four, she used to ride her carriage through the grounds and admire their beauty. When she died at 82 in 1938, her will provided for use of the gardens by filmi companies, with proceeds to charity. A group of businessmen bought the gardens from the Busch estate in 1943 and subdivided 27 of the acres. The remaining 12 will now be disposed of. But the Busch gardens have a last fling at glory before the demise. Athos, Porthos and Aramis are cur- rently swashbuckling over the green in "The Three Musketeers."

Bride Longs to Make a Loving Mem- orial Gestures to Her Mother at Her Wedding Dear Mrs. Beeckman: At my formal wedding; to take place soon, I-want to make some special gesture of memorial and respect to my mother, whom I lov- ed dearly and who died some time ago. What do you think I could do? For example, would it be proper to uave my faverite aunt (my mother's sister) escorted up the aisle ag mother would have been if she were living? Or would it be proper to leave the front pew on the left va- cant, in my mother's honor? (My father has remarried, and he will | escort me up the aisle. Just what procedure do you recommend for me? D. A. I completely understand your lov- ing wish to make a memorial ges- | ture of abiding devotion to your mother's memory, but I advise that [you do nothing too dramatic. Such | as, for example, leaving the first pew on the left vacant, For, after all, your feeling for your beloved mother is in your own heart and spirit, and you do and can cherish it there rather than revealing it at any time not appropriate or fitting. However, I do entirely approve of your making this bow of love and appreciation to your favorite aunt, yecur mother's sister, who rightly can be your mother's representative at your wedding, as you have so sweet- ly planned. So do have her escorted up the aisle, the last person to be seated before the procession begins (she should be escorted by the head ster). Then what you. plan con- cerning the seating of your father and hismpwife depends on your closen to him and his wife. If you are devoted to your father and to his wife, they may be seated in the first pew, with your aunt. Or, if there is any feeling against this, have your stepmother seated in the second pew on the left (before your aunt is escorted to her seat) and reserve a place there for your fath- er to take after he has performed ny WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT | Giving My Friend a Present | Hy MRS.
