She has neat ankles, a slender figure, and she knows how to dress. + Her hair-do is up to the minute. her make-up presentable. But there is a fly in the ointment, Her voice is seldom pleasing. She is highly energized, loves fun and gale= ty; maybe that is the reason--ten- sion is likely to make the speaking voice high and shrill, Voice-control is a matter of self- control. The woman who knows what she is about, who has poise, is voice- conscious. She is calm and serene, nothing boisterous in her nature and she exvresses her character when she talks. ' Lack of stability is reflected in the tones one uses. Nervousness will often impart a metallic quality to the voice. As the nerves become tense the fibers of the throat tight- en; the voice is shrill, speech un- even. Friendly people have friend- ly. voices. Critical, intolerant indi- viduals are likely to give their words a sharp, raspy edge. Two common habits are mainly responsible for unpleasant voice-- pitching the tone too high and us- ing too much volume. If you wonder what kind of voice you have, do reading exercises and listen to your- self. Notice not only the pitch, but the expression. Avoid sudden em- phasis that makes the speech 'jerky. Don't keep to the same key, Dron< ers are very trying on human ears. Study timing, as wel] as quality. Be careful not to talk too fast, es- pecially over the telephone. You all know the fast talker. She goes hur. rying 'along so nobody else can wedge into the conversation. She is also an interrupter. To interrupt is a socia] error. Thoughtful persons Just don't do it. Enunciation should be clear. Good training for that is to say the vow- @is, one aiter another, very slowly. JAMESON Her voice is seldom pleasing. * +» Dropping one's g's is a bad habit-- going', comin', movin'. One hears that kind of talk all too frequently, A flat, unmusical quality rates a gir] as lacking in charm and anima- tion, The thing to do is to pro- nounce each word with precision and use a wide range of tones to create a beautiful expressive quality. The best talker is usually a bright, happy woman whose very presence is a tonic to others. She stimulates and entertains. She is observing. Because she is observing, she has a wide field of interests, and what she has to say is worth the listening. The Experts Say Hello Homemakers! There is wealth hanging on your fruit trees these days! If you are a- town dweller, you will find berries in pro- fusion at your favorite store or market. The aristocrats of flavor: berries of red, black and blue, cher. ries of sweet and sour varieties are here in abundance. Soon they will be gone, but today you can make a berry pie. Fruit pies are favorite desserts and every homemaker de- lights in making them. The results are so good, the work is a pleasure. But while the pie is in the making, these questions "buzz": Will the undercrust. be soggy? Will the juice run all over the oven? Take A Tip 1. To prevent a soggy crust. This depends a great deal on the pastry itself, No one recipe can be made or handled successfully by all cooks. General rules are: The mixture should be on the dry-rich side, which means sorinkling cold water carefully into fat-flour mixture. Never sprinkle the dough with flour--use a lightly floured rolling pin. The dough should be rolled from the centre to the outside of the circle with light, even strokes. Roll out % of the dough to about 3% inch thickness so that it will overlap the edges -of the pie plate by about an inch. Fold it in half and pat it into the pan. Prick 4 or 5 times with a fork and trim the edge with scissors. If possible, chill in the electric refrigerator 10 min- utes while preparing the fruit. 2. To prepare fruit. If necessary, wash fruit in a sieve or collander and drain. Mix sugar with flour or quick-cooking tanioca and a dash of salt. One falf teaspoon of lem- on juice may be added too, Fruit is apt to pack so this sugar-flour mix- ture should be tossed lightly with the fruit before putting it into the pastry shell. Roll out top crust with the same precaution as the lower one, but slash a pattern in the centre. 3. To avoid boil overs. Wet the edge lightly. Fold the extra mar- gin on the lower crust up over the top crust. Press it down with a fork or gently pucker the two together in a standing rim. But work quick- ly so that the vie gets into the oven before the sal is broken. You may wet a 2-inch wide strip of parch- ment maper or butter paper and stick it underneath the rim of the pie plate letting it flap over the edge of the pie to prevent juice fromdrippilg out. Bake in a pre- heated electric oven of 425 or 450 degrees. Reduce the temperature or turn the dial to 350 degrees after 15 minutes baking, . otherwise, it may boi] over. 4. Browning the crust, Our modern ovens are insulated so well that the moisture does not escape quickly so the top may not look as brown as mother's, but we like pie crust to be light brown and soft. We do not recommend adding a glaze of egg white but Sometimes a s| kle of fruit sugar or a little butter ach- ieves the desired effect. Basic Pastry Recipe 1% cups flour (pastry) 1; tsp. salt ! 1; tbsps. cold water 8ift the flour with salt and work the shortening into it with pastry mixer. (When shortening is mixed evenly the mix looks like coarse oatmeal.) Sprinkle in the cold water, tossing flour into dough. Pat lightly into a ball, wrap in wax pa- per and chill in refrigerator for 12 hour. Rol] out lightly on a floured board to 5 inch thickness in a cir cular fashion, fold in half and life to pie plate. Press gently onto pie plate. Cut down around the edge. 'This makes one nine-inch double rust. ' Fresh Cherry Pie Plain pastry 13 tsp. salt § cup sugar tbsps. flour 2 cups pitted red cherries tsp. lemon' juice tsp. nutmeg drops almond flavoring Line a 9-inch pie pan with plain pastry. . Trim and flute the edge with floured fingers. Mix togeth i vr 14 of this mixture on the unbaked pie stiell; mix the remainder with the pitted cherries. Fill the pie with the cherries; add the lemon juice, nutmeg and almond flavor- ing. (If you haven't any almond flavoring in the house, crack a couple of cherry pits and put in the cherry meats.) Cut out a top crust 'to fit the pie and lay it on top of the cherries. Do not fasten it--it will rise and fall with the cooking cherries but no hot juice boils over, Bake in a hot electric oven until golden brown, reducing the heat to 350 degrees after the first 15 minutes for another 25 minutes. Mother's Blackberry Pie 2% cups blackberries 3% cup brown sugar 1 tsp. cornstarch 1 tsp. butter Line a pie plate with crust and brush with white of egg. Add ber- ries and sprinkle with the sugar and cornstarch mixed together. Dot with butber; cover with upper crust and bake in electric oven at 426 degrees for 10 minutes, then 350 degrees for 30 minutes. LER SR \ Anne Allan invites you to write to her c/o of this paper.

BUNDESEN, M.D. "MAGIC" THYROID GLAND THE truest magic in the world is that worked every day for most of us by tie body's glands of internal secretion, but few of us realize its wonder because we have no knowl- edge of what happens when one or the other of these secretions is lacking. Take the thyroid gland, for in- stance. Doctors sometimes have oc- casion to see children who are born | with scme deficiency of this gland. Tue picture-is about as far from that of a normal child as could be imag- ined. Dwarfed and stunted in stat- ure, slow-moving and sluggish, these children also lack al] of child- hood's normal mental alertness apd curiosity. . Called Cretinism This condition is known as cretin. ism?® Just why it occurs is not defi- nitely known, Some children are born without a thyroid gland. In others, the gland is present and may be even greatly enlarged, but for some reason it manufactures little or none of its secretion, Lack of jodine or some interference with its absorption may be at the root of the trouble in the latter cases. In any event if the trouble is dis- covered early and small coses of thyroid extract started at once, re- markable changes occur within a few weeks. ' Physical and mental sluggistness disappear, the bones begin to lengthen, abnormal fatty deposits shrink, and the child is en- tirely transformed. First Signs Noted The first signs of cretinism in a baby are failure to nurse well, to cry normally, and a tendency to sleep almost constantly. The tongue may become enlarged and some dif- ficulty in swallowing develops early in most instances. In many cases, these signs may be so slight as to make the diagnosis difficult until, with time, the retarded growth of the bones--one of the most unmis- takable evidences of cretinism--be- cones apparent. If cretinism is suspected, small doses of thyroid extract should be started at once. As I said earlier, if the trouble is due to cretinism, place. Of course, the dose of thyroid extract must be carefully regulated by the physician, since an amount that would be excessive in some cases will not overccme the deficien- cy in others. In Older Child Signs of cretinism in the older child are more marked. Failure to grow properly, swelling of the ton- gue, and failure to walk and to talk at the usual ages are all significant, Dryness of the skin and puffiness of the eyes are often present. A child deficient in thyroid secretion is us- | ually mentally sluggish and likely to be overweight in comparison with ais height. It is important that cretinism be diagnosed early because the sooner treatment with thyroid extract is started, the better the results. If in- dividuals with this condition are not treated early, hey do not ob- tain their normal height, and' dis- turbances of mental development also occur. Babies should be examined at re- gular intervals by the physician be- through such examination, abnormal conditions such as.cretin- ism may be discovered while there is still time to correct them.

LJ THERE are certain make-up tricks that every girl should know. It just won't do to splash on too much pigment. It produces the scenic or lithographic face that has no appeal. Properly applied it can make the countenance more vivid, more interesting, But there are al- ways among us .girls who must go to extremes. Men hate striking, messy. make-up. That alone should convince the women that it is just as well, if not better, to use dis- crimination. The voice of criticism will not be even a whisper when the girls realize that a little artifice is better than a facial load of it. By placing rouge lightly, up well around the eyes, the ccmplexion is freshened, made more attractive if nature has short-changed one on the natural blush. The eyes are made more brilliant with a bit of | rosy coloring on the surrounding tis- | sues. -* * If the compact is used, powder should be applied, first and after- ward, forming a cosmetic sandwich. A special lamb's wool pad should be kept for the purpose of blending powder and the factory blush. Some wcemen prefer cream rouge that rubbed into the flesh before powder is fluffed on. Do little dabs, one be- low the eyes, one on the temple, one just below, forming a triangle. Then, with the fingertips blend them to- gether. Powdering should include the neck and ears. When the formal is worn, it should include the shoul- ders. All too often the facial coating is several shades 'lighter than the neck, due of course to the fact that we cream our faces, seldom friction in the emollient below the" place where the Adam's apple would be if we had one. Ears too, should be subjected to powder and rouge. "TIPS FOR TEENS Want to be a Smoothy? By ELINOR Your complexion reflects the con- dition of your body, so if your skin is often blemished, check up on health habits to make it smooth and clear again, 1--Give up sweets, especially goo- ey ones and chocolate. (This isnt easy, but which would you rather have--the sweets or flawless skin? 'The choice is up. to.you.) If youre hungry between meals, eat fruit, nibble a carrot or drink milk.

New Designs Seen In School Equipment Britain's educationists have been flocking to an interesting exiibi- tion, Staged by the Council of Industrial Design at the invitation of the Royal Institute of British Architects, the New Schools Exhibi. tion was opened in May. It shows a selection of new school furniture and equipment, which the Council has designed with new aims in mind. They realize how important school furniture is, not only as the team solution of a con- temporary . industrial design proh- lem, but also because children should have well-designed furni- ture to helo them in forming good taste for the future. That is why the furniture at the exhibition has been chosen as being functionally and aesthetically sound and also as being in line with modern educationa] trends, which call for a greater variety of | Squjpment to suit different age- | 8roups. Younger children, for in- | stance, who are being slowly broken in to school discipline like a domes- tic arrangement of desks, chairs 'and tables, so that they can be taught in small groups. This helps them in self-expression, which would' be far more difficult in a large class. A display of typical educational toys, emphasizing the value of play for the youngest age-groups, gave atmosphere to the nursery group. On the walls were paintings = by 'children from scliools jn the London area.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Write Thank-You Note From Point of View of Given Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Yesterday I was given a bridal shower. . . and I would like to fol- low your suggestion 'and write a thank-you note for each gift I re- ceived. Will you please give me a few "directions" as to what sort of note to write? And can the same type of note be writen to thank for wedding presents? E. M. An excellent and simple "recipe" for writing any note of thanks is: (1) thank first for the thought that prompted the giving of the gift (for example, "What a wonderful friend you are to plan to make me so hap- py!"); (2) mention the gift speci- fically (not vaguely, as "your gift"); and (3) comment enthusiastically on special features of the gift (the handsome design, for example, or the beautiful color, perhaps a fa- vorite of yours, or the fact that you have wanted just such a gift for a leng time, or the fact that it will be "so lovely" or "so useful," or both). In other words, put yourself in the giver's place, and write with enthusiastic appreciation the things you know the .giver would like to have you say. At your bridal shower you had only a minute or two, per- haps, to say your thank-you. . but, after the shower, you wil] have time to put on your thinking cap and write some words of hearty appre- ciation. Think how delighted you are to receive a really good thank- you note. ..warms your heart, doesn't it? A good lesson, then, for the ones you want to write. . .and the fact that you have decided to write them is the first step in mak- ing them endearing! The same letter-plan is right for wedding present thank-you notes. .. with the addition, of course, of your fiance's thanks for and appreciation of, the gift. The Girl and Her Escort to the Dance.....Corsage, Transportation Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 1, At a formal dance, what is the correct procedure in approaching 'the receiving-line? 2. Is the escort whom you invite to the dance supposed to buy your corsage? Are you supposed to sug- gest this when you invite him? 3. Is it right for ithe girl to ar- range for the transportation, or should she leave this to her escort? Reader. 1. The girl and her escort take their places together in the receiv- ing-line, and if there is no one to announce the names the girl (if she is the hostess) gives her name to the first one in the reception line, and when she has been greeted, in- troduces her escort. . .'Mrs. Allen, may I present Mr. Thomas Hill." Then the introductions are passed along the line; or, if there is any uncertainty about names, self-in- troductions are in order. 2. The young man usually does send a corsage to the girl who in- vites him to a formal dance, but this is not considered a "must,? and the custom varies in different parts of the country and at different schools and colleges, If possible, the young man should find out if the others are sending corsages and should follow suit. It would be un- mannerly for the girl to mention his sending a corsage, for there might be a question of his not be~ ing able to afford this gesture. 3. The girl provides the tickets, if tickets must be bought, but the boy makes plans for the transportation to and from the dance. Lady At Right Of Gentleman Dear Mrs. Beeckman: When there is a grand march at a public dance, should the lady take her partner's right or left arm? Sally The lady takes her partner's right arm. "The lady on the right of the gentleman" is an excellent rule to remember.

Montreal Teacher Marvels at Work Of Training Centre for War Blind By NORMAN CRIBBENS Canadian Press Staff Writer 1 Brighton, England, June 25--(CP) --Here from Montreal on exchange with a Brighton $choolteacher, Miss Ruby H. Prew now is an enthusi- astic supporter of St. Dunstan's training centre for war-blinded ex- servicemen at nearby Ovingdean. She was taken there by Miss Ann German, a Toronto nurse wro since 1942 has been a Braille teacher at the centre. "I don't think I have ever spent a more interesting or inspiring day," the Montreal teacher said. "The "whole place seemed to be afire with zeal and enthusiasm. "I sat in at one of the daily dis- cussion groups and heard blinded veterans of both wars talking over the news of the day, its signifi- cance and its likely effect on world trade, security and peace." Afterwards Miss Prew watched veterans playing darts in the club- room and fencing in the gymna- sium, "I would never have believed it possible," she said, "yet it seems there is scarcely any limit to what blinded men can do if they are pro- | perly trained. "I found that each St. Dunstaner is given private lessons in Braille so that the constant companion- ship of literature may be his own. The Braille library and the talking book enable him to enjoy a great variety of literature." To enable them to keep in touch with their friends St. Dunstaners receive lessons in typing and Miss Prew found that many "are prolific letter-writers." - H plastics, woodwork, uupholstery, rug-making and shoe-repairing. at weaving, leathercraft, basketry, She watched men being trained She saw them operating large ma- SOFTEE SOAP FLAKES LARGE SIZE Special Price to clear 2 for 23 TAMBLYN DRUGS 6 KING EAST PHONE 740 chines that make screws, bolts and small parts for airplanes and "mar- velled at their speed and accur- racy.
