TUESDAY, MAY 25, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU Conforming to Fashion JAMESON mT By HELEN During that terrific to-do. last autumn -- when the "New Look" was the popular subject of conver- sation, and the prevailing slogan was "Pull in your walistline"-- the heavyweight indulged in hollow laughter. She asked "What if you haven't any waistline?" 8he lost hers years ago. But it did inspire her to make an effort to do a little figure remodelling. She gave more thought to the selection of a foundation garment that would help conceal the bumps, or at least distribute them to a certain extent. A good corset can do that little ' thing, Outlines that do not qualify can be controlled, Possibly she made the discovery A that a corsetiere will take careful measurements, make a garment to order, This is not as extravagent as it sounds. A foundation that provides excellent support for the abdomen, that holds the hips neatly, will in time create certain changes in the figure. Why? Be- cause it tends to help a woman to maintain correct posture. There is a natural tendency to pull herself up from the waistline; this tend- ency causes the muscles to contract, to stay where they belong. It is when muscles aare relaxed that they weaken. Not only that, but they issue a cordial invitation to fat cells to come and establish themselves permanently. If a garment is to mould the fig- ure into better lines, it must be correctly cut and correctly fitted. One cannot be too fussy about this matter, especially if one has a crush on the bathroom scales. The fabric of the garment may have to be reinforced where it exerts the most control; for this purpose bones aré being uséd. Also, there must be absolute comfort. There may be an inclination to pack and squeeze oneself into a size that it a bit too small, A grave mistake, Bad effects invariably follow, The garment stretches out of shape, is of no use whatever as a support -- the purpose for which it is intended. The right length is important. If the garment is not long enough to TTI Cals Sloe 109 | Dirbund by King Fearwres Syndicate, lac.

The rule is "up in front, down at the back," To pull the garment down too far in front is to accen- tuate the bulge -- if there is any-- below the waistline. If the hose supporters at the back ones can have a little slack, allowing for freedom of motion. Now all-in-one models as supple and smoothly fitted. Many women prefer them to the combination of garment and bra. Those inner belts accomplish wonders for the over-developed figure. They re- strain the flesh, firmly but gently. Some of them seem to slice off inches from the corpulent custo- mer who yearns for well-groomed | slimness. WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT Paying for a Shower Ry MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My brother is to be married next month, and I am sorry to say that there is bad feeling between the bride and her family and the groom's family. Since the financial status of the families is about the same, the. questions that have arisen have not been so much con- cerned with the financial respon- sibilities as with the proprieties of the responsibilities. Now another question has arisen, again we ask your advice. The bride's sister, who is to be her maid of honor, is fblanning to give a shower for the Yet, although she is to be the hostess, she insists on bride-to-be, takes on the social re- sponsibility of giving this not-in- good-taste shower, she herself, as hostess, should of coursd pay all | the expenses.

" Foot Health Week Begins on Saturday PEOPLE With more and more emphasis being laid on complete health and well-being in educational centres in both Canada and the United States, an important week for health care has been decided upon, to commence on May 22. This is National Foot Health Week. Recog- nized authorities have always ex- pressed the opinion that foot care plays an important part in general well-being. The week of May 22 will be de- voted to education along these lines, with particular stress being laid on proper fitting of footgear. This applies not only to the fitting of shoes, but to the wearing and proper fit of hose as well. The This bunny fun is such bright, | gay embroidery.

BUNDESEN, M.D. DIFFICULTIES OF DIAGNOSIS | Nowhere, not even at a twins' convention, are there more "look alikes" than in the world of medi- cine. One disease can imitate an- other so perfectly as to "fool the experts," unless a very thorough examination is made. One of these traditional "foolers" is a bowel disorder due to what are known as diverticula, which can, on occasion, duplicate either the symptoms of gallstones or those of stomach ulcer. Walls Become Weakened Sometimes the walls of the first part of the bowel known as the duodenum become weakened and, as a result, a little out-pouching occurs, such as may develop in a These out-pouchings are called di- verticula, Such diverticula may be present weak spot in an automobile tire. | GLAMORIZING . The Secret of Good Grooming By HELEN FOLLETT without causing symptoms. How- | ever, in most cases, they do cause trouble, and, as I said earlier, the symptoms may be much like those | of other digestive disorders. Pain and Tenderness These symptoms consist of pain and tenderness in the abdomen, sickness at the stomach, and diar- | rhea. | The pain may be in the right lower part of the abdomen. It may | pass to the back or at times into | the right shoulder. The pain is apparently made worse by eating. In come cases, nausea or sickness at the stomach may accompany the pain or may occur at other times. | Now and then, the diverticula press | on the bile duct which empties into the intestine and, as a consequence, the flow of bile is blocked, result- ing in jaundice or a greenish, yel- lowish discoloration of the skin, so | suggestive of gallstones. In themselves, these symptoms | are not typical of the disease, and hence, a decisive diagnosis cannot be made on the symptoms alone. Definite Diagnosis In order to make a definite diag- | nosis of the diverticula, X-ray | examination is required. The | X-ray examination should include | the entire pgastro-intestinal tract and especially the gallbladder. | {Once the diverticula have been | | discovered in the X-ray plate, the | doctor will decide whether or hid they are responsible for the trouble | because, as I have stated, not all diverticula cause symptoms. When the diagnosis is certain, and it has been determined that | the diverticula are responsible for | the symptoms, an operation for | their removal is, sometimes ad- | vised. | Where the patient is in such poor | condition that an operation can- | not be carried out, medical meas- | ures, such as the use of a bland { diet, the giving of mineral oil, and lying on the side after meals, are carried out. The bland diet is one which contains no highly-seasoned or bulky foods. Diverticulitis is usually not a se- | rious disorder, but when diagnosed it should receive prompt treat- | ment along accepted lines. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS B.

David Niven is baffled by the talk of a film career for his brides, the beauteous Hjordis Tersmeden of Sweden. "She has never acted and never intends to act,' says David. Tom Drake finally got the break he deserves in "Words and Music." Now M-G-M's talking about star- ring him in a sequel to "The Green Years." Robert Taylor is finally getting back to what gave him his first screen fame--romance. He'll have. some torrid love scenes with Ava Gardner in "The Bribe." Nina Foch continues to profit from her stage jaunt in "John Loves Mary." She goes right from the arms of Glenn Ford in "Under- cover Man" to those of Willlam Holden in "Hearsay." The two films are shooting on adjacent stages, and to hurry the former opus along, scenes are being shot with three cameras.

Australian Woman Manages Hatchery Sydney, Australia -- (CP) -- The United States best-seller, "The Egg and I" has a modern, streamlined Australian parallel in the real-life story of a Sydney woman who man- ages one of the biggest chicken hatcheries in the Southern Hemis- phere. She is Mrs. A. Pearson of Strath- field, who presides over the hatch- nig of some 30,000 chicks each week. At the hatchery all work --with the exception of chick sexing--is done by women, The owner, Stanley Gamble, considers that women make ideal assistants in this highly specialized business. Mrs, Frances Merrett, for in- stance, has the job of testing the eggs for fertility after they have |been in the incubator from a week | to 10 days. In this modern hatchery the ine cubators do everything but cluck. Their capacity is from 10,000 to 16,< {000 eggs and they are made of | Queensland silky oak. Chicks from the Gamble hatch- erics are sent all over the state of |New South Wales. Before the war they, were also sent as far afield as Malaya.
