THE DATLY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN MONDAY, JUNE 14, 1948 BEAUTY FOR YOU -- She Can't Make Her Face Behave By HELEN JAMESON Today's preachment is directed at the thoughtless lady who twists her face into knots and rurrows when- ever she tallks. You have seen her. Somebody should tell her that she Hoesn't look pretty, but of course nobody can. It is impossible to touch upon such personal matters. Day by day, she is wrecking her countenance, digging lines into it. As if Time and birthdays do mot bring enough havoc. When we think of grace, we vis- ualize beautiful movements of the body. Bnt the face, too, should be graceful. One can, by using the old head, train one's face to practice attractive behavior. "The woman who goes in for facial gymnastics believing that they give emphasis to words, has a long line of tricks. She squints her eyes to express sus- picion, frowns, to show displeasure, widens her eyes and lifts her eye- brows to let the other fellow know that she is surprised. Is that ne- cessary? It is not. It is distract ting to others, It is devastating to good looks. At no time is there occasion to draw down the lip ends, a habit that is common among some of the sisters. It drains the face of animas tion and interest. It stamps one as a whiner or a coward. If one is| face conscious, as everyone should be, that will never happen. Dr. Charlotte C. West, in her in- teresting book, "Ageless Youth," touches on this subject. She begs her readers to cultivate serenity, to avoid tension. "When the countenance is illum- inated with force of character," she writes, "and depth of human un- derstanding and sympathy, the homeliest features take on an at- tractiveness that is far more en- gaging than even striking beauty, which accounts for the fact that ex- pression .may and does atone for irregularity of features; it is so far superior that it may even prevent us from perceiving the defects of ir- regularity. "The famous Madame de Stael, a | voman of brillancy but no beauty, ad a countenance so illuminated What goes on in the mind shows on the face. * +P by intelligence, wit and vivacity that it shone with a transcendent beauty. "Madame Recamier 'was without doubt the most beautiful woman of her day. Yet her claim to im- mortality does not rest -upon her beauty, but upon the gentleness and exquisite amiability of her char- acter." Human faces are ever in the making or the unmaking. A woman can become more beautiful as she grows older, or she may become plainer. There's no doubting that what goes on inside the head comes out on the face. A friendlly woman, a kindly one, carries a friendly ex- pression that warms the heart of the beholder; a combative woman chills it. . CLOSE UP OF Heart of a Hunting County By ELIZABETH RICHMOND One-hundred-and-sixty houses have been built in as many days on a new housing estate in Leicester in the English Midlands. Leicester, one of Britain's greatest cities and long noted, of course, for its footwear and hoisery, is also famed as one of her most progressive centres. The City Fathers there have never been afraid to make bold experi- ments in effecting changes for the good of the citizens, Some years ago, for example, they pulled down a whole frontage in the heart of the city because they thought they were handicapped by narrow streets. The result is that they have a fine roadway that is 85 feet wide and half-a-mile long. They own their own public ser- vices and had electricity long be- fore most of Britain's cities could boast about it. The city is free from smoke although it is full of busy factories. I: was from Leicester that Thomas Cook, who founded the touring organization, planned his first excursion; this was to the neighboring town of Loughborough and it was the predecessor of 'mil- lions of organized tours. ; The City Hub The hub of the busy city is the Clock Tower and from this land- mark wide roads radiate like the spokes of a wheel to all parts of Britain, Four men who have been Clock Tower. One is Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, who, in the 13th century, fough} against King Henry III in onehof those struggles for a wider liberty which took place all through English his- tory. Another is William Wyggeston, a 15th century wool merchant who founded a local hospital. The third is Alderman Gabriel Newton who founded a boys' school in the 18th century, while the fourth is Sir Thomas White, 16th century mer- chant who left a fund to help young business men. Although Leicester has many fine modern buildings, such as the de Montfort Hall which is a great cul- {ural centre, there are many inter- esting relics of bygone ages to be found in the city. One is the re- mains of an old Abbey, remembered always in English history because the great Cardinal Wolsey who liv-" ed in Henry VIII's reign, died there in disgrace, There is a charming old Guildhall, now a museum, with a Great Hall which was used by travelling players in Elirabethan days. Indeed, many people think that Shakespeare, himself, may have acted there. Leicester has many fine old inns, the most historic of which is the "Bell," which has done a thriving trade for centuries. It has always been a favourite spot for hunting men, and this is natural because closely connected with Leicesire are commemorated in stone on the Leicestershire itself is a great hunt- ing county. Fashion Flashes. SOMEWHAT REMOVED from the spat shoe of gray suede, and black patent leather, is today's version. The new model is a "shell" shoe with very high heel and a very high back with an ankle strap. Heel and and front quarter are of the patent, the rest gray suede. aR BR THE WONDERFUL COMBINA- TION of fashion and the practical gets stronger all the time. Now we hear tell of a new invention an orna- mental earring that conceals a hearing device. When it will be marketed, we don't know, but it's said to be on the way. Then there's the bracelet lighter, an English in- vention, soon to appear. + DOING wars eter a long ab- sence is the chiffon dress so nice for wear.

BUNDESEN, M.D. HEALTH IN PREGNANCY TO safeguard both herself and her baby, the expectant mother must take a good many special health measures during pregnancy, and few are more important than those needed to keep the breast in good condition. Painful breasts not only interfere with the breast feeding which is so essential to the baby's well being, but may also give warning of se- vere infection, detrimental to the 'mother's health. Extra Care An infection of this kind is known as mastitis, and it is one of the things which an extra bit of care duting pregnancy can prevent. In- stances where precaution is espe- cially necessary are those in which the nipples are retracted or pulled back into the breast. Just why this happens is not definitely known but, whenever it does, there is a ten- dency for small cracks to develop around the nipples so that the germs can find entrance into the breast tissues. It is suggested that, beginning during the seventh month of preg- nancy, glass nipple shields be worn continuously. These are %ept on with a well-fitting brassiere and can be worn comfortably 'all day. Each night, during the last two months of pregnancy, the breast and nipples are massaged with an oil or liquid paraffin. After mas- saging, .the nipple is gently squeezed with the finger and thumb to ex- press a little of the fluid of the breast known as colostrum. Lan- olin may also be employed to soften dry nipples. The day after the baby is deliv- ered, a supporting breast binder is worn. Every four to six hours, until the milk begins to flow freely, the baby is allowed to nurse at each breast for a few minutes. Second Day Beginning on the second day after the delivery of the baby, the mother massages the breasts and expresses some of the milk just before feeding time to help keep up the milk flow. In those instances in which the breast become swollen due to con- gestion, nursing is stopped tempo- rarily and the breasts are gently massaged before the binder is put on. It is suggested that a substance known as stilbestrol be given every four hours. This helps to relieve the tension in the breasts. As soon as the swelling and congestion begin to clear up, the breast feeding may be resumed. In the meantime, the flow of milk can be kept up by gentle hand expression of the breasts. Every mother should keep these important facts in mind because every mother should want to breast feed her baby, and mastitis or breast inflammation may interfere with this vital factor in the babys welfare. : QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS C.

That will make the dress designers happy, those enthusiastics stylists who kept yelling at us to draw in our waist lines, who are promoting the idea of wearing petticoats to give bounce and pustle to skirts. Maybe quaint, romantic clothes will make us for- get a crazy world, and that is all for the good. You see cute, pretty clothes on the silver screen. They make the stars look younger and prettier than ever. Formals have long, full, flowing skirts. Bodices have full bosoms and doll waists; if you are going to cram yourself into them you may have to do a little figure molding. If your shape is satisfactory, do them anyway. If you have a chic sil- houette you have to work to hang onto it. If a few pounds have .been added, better watch out. More may be on the way. Stretching exercises are easy just the thing for the lazy girl, and they do something. Stand facing | the wall, lift your hands as high as | L J ever you can. ip on stretching, touching the wall with your finger tips. Down on your heels, take five deep breaths then at it again. Try to pull your- self apart at the waistline. Arms and legs get plenty of exercise; it is the mid section that needs it most. When you are in bed at night, waiting for the sandman to come, do a little stretching and relaxing. You will find sleep more restful because you will stir up sluggish blood streams and quiet your nerv- ous system, if it needs quieting, and whose'doesn't? Go limp. Strech your legs, stretch every toe. Push forth your arms, extend your fingers. Lift yuor arms above your head, stretch your body. Follow along with five minutes of slow, deep breathing, inhaling through the nostrils, exhaling through the lips. Nothing like deep regular breathing to make one feel delightfully relaxed and drowsy.

British = born Charles Laughton rises captain Bligh-like | and utters a hearty "No!" Here's what the man says: "Film actors are the most humble people on earth. "A bank clerk: can afford to think that he looks like Clark Gable and be wrong, but a movie star must be objective. He has to know 'his face and personality so he can capitalize on them. "The bubble of an actor's ego is punctured the day he sees his image on the screen. His most horrible moments are while watching him- self give a bad performance." Publicity Misleading Laughton feels that false pub- licity has led the public to believe that actors are conceited. People confuse a star's screen personality with his actual self, declared Charles. "I've seen scientists, doctors, poli- ticlans--many types act like pom- pous fools in public and they never guessed what asses they were. "Stage actors have the same dis- advantage. A film player knows his good and bad characteristics be- cause he has studied them on the screen. That doesn't permit much concelt." Our discourse closed with what should be one of the more arrest- ing statements of the year. Said Laughton, and I quote: "I've never known an actor who was a heel." Unquote.

It's the all-important little things that we're not aware of that cause awkward- ness or .embarrassement. Here's how to avoid some of them: To be tactful, think before you speak and try to say what you'd like others to say to you, not what will cause embarrassment. Instead of greeting another girl's escort with "So you're the one I've heard so much about!" or "Ive heard a lot about you!" merely say "How do you do?" "How do you do?" is the only correct way to acknowledge an in- troduction not--"Hello!" or "Hi" en you've just been introduced: (You hear the latter on the radio, but it's bad manners.) Don't tell secrets in the presence of others, whispering, talking in hushed tone in a corner or behind your hand.

Talk your pere sonal affairs over at home, if you like, but remember that it usually causes trouble when you "confide" these matters to friends. Your cone fidence is repeated and repeated and causes trouble, embarrassmens or the end of a friendship or romance. Many girls write in their letters to me that a boy has stopped dating them because he hearl so much of the girl's chatter about him repeated in school and among ac- quaintances who embarrassed him with their comments and quips about his dates or romance. Keep the conversation general when you are in a group, so nobody will be left out or feel unwanted. Be sure to include everybody in the talk and let others shine, too.

By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs, Beeckman: This month ur son is graduating from college, and our daughter is graduating from a girl's boarding school. We ordered personal cards for them to enclose in their invita- tions, hers with "Miss" before her name, and with "Mr.". Now we and they would Hke to know if, before enclosing these cards, they should cross off the title by drawing a line through it. Mother and Father No; the cards should be enclosed with all their formality intact. It is only when a message is written on a card that the title is crossed off--for with a message written on it, the card becomes a note, and the name must be changed from the formal name appropriate on a visiting card to the informal name (without title) appropriate as a signature. Wedding Invitation--Angd\ Gifts-- And Responsibilities. N Dear Mrs. Beeckman: So many questions keep cropping up in the plans I am making for my wedding--will you please answer several more of them? (1) How long before the wedding should the invitations be sent out? (2) Are the organist and soloist invited to the wedding reception? (3) Are the organist and soloist given gifts, and, if so, by whom? (4) When are the gifts given to the bride, groom, bridesmaids best man, and ushers? (5) Whose responsibility is it to buy the bride's trousseau, the bride or her parents? (6) What should the bride do with her en- gagement ring during the ceremony? (7) Whose responsibility is' it to buy the flowers for the church and for the hall where the reception to take place? M. J. (1) Formal wedding Invitations should be mailed about four weeks before the wedding--never less than three weeks before. Informal in- vitations are often mailed three weeks before the wedding--some- times two weeks before. The guests invited toswohen important event as a 'wedding should be given suffi- cient notification so that they may save the date and make their plans; and time must be given too to make sure of receiving all replies. (2) Usu= ally, if the reception is large, or even and soloist are professionals, they should be paid their usual profes- sional fee. If they are friends of the bride or groom or of the family of either and if they ask for the privilege of giving their services, each should be given a gift by either the bride or her family. (4) If the bride and groom are to glve each other wedding gifts, they are given at any time convenient before the wedding. The bridal attende ants are given their gifts either at the tuncheon, or other party the bride gives to them, or at any other convenient time, The groom gives hig best man and ushers their gifts either at his bachelor dinner or a day or so before the wedding. (5) Either--if the bride's family are paying for the wedding, they buy the bride's trousseau, both personal and household. (6) During the cere emony the bride usually wears her engagement ring on her right hand --then, after the ceremony, usually on the way to the reception, she puts her engagement ring on "the finger, above the wedding ring.
