.WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER SRR AME LU a Ca ARS 3, 1948 A A A THE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE re Sd BY iN PAGE NINE [5 BEAUTY FOR YOU - Dressing the Tall, Thin Figure By EELEN JAMESON v Knowing how to dress is a big item in this business of making the female form pleasing to the eye. It is especially necessary when fig- ure defects must be camouflaged. The solution is found in the selec- tion of flattering lines and be- coming colors. It would seem as if some women have the unfortunate faculty of ac- centing their anatomical shortcom- ings. For instance; there is the long, tall, thin woman .who puts herself in a long, slinky dress, tops the composition with a long, tall hat. Why does she do it? Can't she read what the mirror has to. tell her? There's no grace or charm in long, unbroken lines carried by a shape that is rigid, lacks soft- ness and ease. They impart an ap- pearance of austerity. ' We know that beautiful bones are admired by artists who have the eyes to recognize them. But, ac- cording to the notions of the ordin- ary individual, bones should be up- holstered with exactly the right amount of tissue. It is grand to be slender, 1o.t it is terrible to be skinny. No girl is proud of elbows sharp enough to cut bread with or legs that are spindle shanks. The thing for her to do is to throw out the pickle jar, lap up plenty of rich milk, eat cereals, strive to be a "whole portion of girl instead of just . a half a one, The wide shoulder lines.still pre- _ vailing- at- the present moment are a help to the tall, slim sisters. Full sleeves are their fashion dish, es- pecially if the fullness is above the elbow. When full length, they may make the arms look longer. All surplice arrangements of the bodice are good; any design that imparts fullness to the upper part of the body will overcome the handicap of extra height combined with the too-slender silhouette. Long, straight lines must be avoided. Striped fabrics are def- initely out. Small checks are de- sirable. Plaids are all right if the pattern is not too large. Colors play an important part in the drama of dress. Warm colors Dusteibured by King Features Syvducate, Inc It is grand to be slender, but ter- rible to be skinny. * + --like burgundy, rich browns, zin- nia shades and rich blues--are flat- tering. Cold colors, like steel grey and uninteresting tones of green, are not for this type. White is a happy choice. Black makes' the figure appear more frail. That is why the plumpies love it. Skirts with a little fullness in front take away from body length, seem to add width. . Peplums are still in vogue and they're just ducky for tall, slim Sally. No V necks, if you please. The round one will make the neck seem plumper, the face fuller. Frocks and coats should be loose- ly fitted, but not so ample that they look as if they don't belong. New Turkey Suits Small U.S. Families By ROBERT GEIGER Washington --(AP)-- The United States government reports success this year in its campaign to reduce the number of cold turkey sand- wiches Americans will have to eat during the Christmas holidays. «Its apartment-size turkey, called - the Beltsville Bird or the Small White turkey, is on the market in larger quantities, although the turkey crop as a whole is the smal- lest in 10 years. It took about 10 years to develop the bird to fit the smaller ovens of the smaller modern family. Its average live weight is less than 10 pounds, compared with about . 20 for a Broad-Breasted Bronze . turkey. - Ready for the oven, the © Beltsville turkey weighs less than eight pounds on the average. Government turkey experts began talking about developing a breed of small turkeys almost 20 years ago. Experiments Begin In 1934 the experiments started at Beltsville, MD., where there is a big government agricultural sta- iton. : The turkey scientists worked with five breeds, including wild turkeys. They finally came up with a satis- factory model in 1940. It has some of all five breeds in it. Now the birds are being produced in com- mercial quantities. The 1948 model apartment tur- key is white, so that its pin feath- ers aren't as noticeable. This makes it more attractive' in the buteher's showcase. > A Lovely Pussy! 4, E 4 i Nautical and so nice!

So many a gal is detaching the hood from last eayr's coat and matching or con- trasting the coat fabric with ma- terial for a stole scarf, preferably one with self fringe ends. And there you have a stylish second- best coat. * +» GOOD THEATRE suits are one of the season's delights. Black broadcloth is used for a slim, long- skirted suit, with the jacket cut like that of a man's smoking jacket, and worn with an ermine pillbox and muff and a rhinestone-touched black satin blouse. bP THE SHINING SUCCESS of satin for evening is well expressed in a sim dinner dress of slipper satin in deep eggplant purple. Deep neck- line is straight, with wide, slanting sides. Shoulders are squared; sleeves are long and tight. From the beltless waist at the side, the skirt falls to the hem in a double cascade and is deeply slashed. * BRIGHT TOUCHES of beads and embroidery bring new interest to blouses. Blue, red and crystal beads, with touches of gilt, pearls' and rhinestones, describe a fake necklace and pendant on a blouse of silk crepe. A OE - NEW INTEREST for the fur- trimmed cloth coat.

'half_hour intervals, A Physician Advises You By HERMAN A. BUNDESEN. M.D. A BABY COMPLAINT EVERY parent of a baby under a year old should learn something of the symptoms of an abdominal disorder called intussusception, which sometimes develops in in- fants. This is one of the conditions which brooks no delay. When it is present, the penalty for failure to recognize that something is seri- ously amiss may be the loss of the baby. I am not, of course, suggesting that parents should attempt to di- agnose the condition--only that they learn enough about its symp- toms to call the doctor immediately should any of them be observed. Develops Suddenly Perhaps the most useful that parents can remem regard is that intuss thing in this eption de- velops suddenly. A baby that has |: been previously healthy is seized by violent spasms of pain which may last for a few seconds to a few minutes, and which recur at about In over half the cases, this type of pain is the first sign of the dis- ease. Vomiting is another common symptom. The passage of blood from the bowels is not necessarily an early sign, but occurs in practi= ally all cases sooner or later. During the first day, for instance, the bowel movements may be absent or appear normal, but then they be- come liquid and bloody; the baby becomes pale, has a rapid heart- beat, sunkep eyes, and fever. A swelling within the abdomen is present in about nine out of ten cases. The area around the swell- ing is tender, and the mass has the feel of a sausage. X-rays are frequently of value in establishing a diagnosis. The age of the baby may also give a diag- nostic clue as intussusception rare- ly occurs before a child is six weeks old or after 18 months. Prompt Operation Treatment in all cases is prompt operation. Prior to operation, it is usually advisable to give the baby an injection of whole blood into a vein or blood plasma. Salt solution may also be administered under the skin. Following operation, it is also im. portant to give the baby plenty of fluids by injection under the skin or into a vein. It is important to note that in this disorder, when operation is performed within 24 hours, the out- look is at least three or four times | as good as when the operation is delayed for a day or two. The im- | portant thing to remember about | this condition is that the earlier it is! treated the better is the outlook, and the chief reason for failure of early treatment is that the fact that the disorder is not recognized as early as it should be. If there is any indication of intussusception, there should be no delay in calling the doctor. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J. M.: What causes boils? Answer: Boils are due to infec- tions with ordinary germs which are always to be found upon the skin, and particularly the staphy- locoecus. Hollywood Hi lights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood--(AP) -- A woeful cry has arisen in press agent circles. The moan echoes back from the Hollywood Hills and can be heard above thé sound of dropped options. It is the reaction of publicists to the news: "Jane Russell cheesecake." Yes, Jane, the queen of the leg (etc.) art, has put her shapely foot down and says she'll do no more posing in airy costumes on leopard skins and haystocks. I hastened out to the San Fernando Valley to confirm the report. "That's right," the shapley brun- ette replied. "I had seven years of posing and I'm tired of it." Aha! Is this because she thinks leg art is deleterious to her acting career? "No," she replied, tossing my theory to the four winds, "I just think leg art is stupid. When I see other girls posing in shorts for some silly gag, I think it's ridicul-4 ous." "Yes, but that's because you're not a male," I ventured. 8he shrug- ged the remark into oblivion. Leg art or no, the Russell career is getting a decided uplift. The third film of her career ("Paleface" with Bob Hope) will be released shortly. She is now playing Belle Starr in "Montana Belle" with George Brent. Next, she is supposed to do "It's Only Money" for her boss Howard Hughes. Co-starring are Frank Sinatra and Groucho Marx. This seems an odd casting since Grou- cho is not particularly her type. And as for Frank, his build will hardly bear comparison with Jane's." "I'll look as though I could throw him-a few blocks," she remarked. The cheesecake ban makes it ap- pear that the gal is out to destroy the Jane Russell legend -- that she's merely a photographable form. One part of the J. R. legend is no fiction. That is her famed fig- ure. Here are the up-to-date meas- urements: hips, 39 inches; waist, 25; bust 38. . says no more N SEE A DOCTOR Venereal disease can destroy marital happiness.

Every child learns about sex. He learns about it, if not from his pars ents, then from 'other sources which are usually inaccurate and mis- leading. Tarents should be aware GLAMORIZING How to Groom Your Eyebrows By HELIN FOLLETT \ When using an eyebrow pecil be sure to follow the natural line of the brow * Many women who destroyed. their eyebrows, during the tweezing mania, used a black crayeir to pro- vide .such substitutes - as they thought fitting, are now. coaxing-the poor little fuzzers to thicken and grow. We lived through a great many generations before the ema- ciated eyebrow was fashionable and, as it was beauty fad, it was bound to do a fade away. It flour- ished for thirty years, and that is a long time for a pulchritude frenzy to hang on. Usually women are more aware of the lure of eyelashes than that of the brows. Yet it is the latter that give expression to the eyes and character to the face. There have been fimes before when a standard- ized eyebrow was a practical art: The Grecian ideal was straight and narrow. Later periods show the ex- tremely arched urow and then the | moderately arched pattern. Nowadays we have no fixed out- line; it is every girl for herself ac- cording to her fancy. The results are * exactly, J not always glamorous. who excel in make-up claim that the pattern should conform to the particular type of face. which sounds sensible enough. To de%ign straight lines over eyes that are ex- ceptionally round is to throw the composition of the face out of har- mony. If the eyes are straight and narrow, it is silly to crayon the ends of the eye brows to an upward slant. In grooming the eyebrows the ambition should not be to change the natural pattern too much, but to keep it smooth, to have the bor- ders clear cut. It requires skill to pluck eyebrows artistically. Girls who have gone in for plucking in a big way have been known to display mismated eyebrows, one carrying a different line than the other. When making your toilet if you will take a tiny brush and push all the hairs straight up, then from above press them lightly down, you may be surprised at the neat, be- coming effect. Toronto-Born Play Producer About to Realize Ambition By PAT USSHER New York -- (CP) --Back in 1920 John Yorke was studying to be a lawyer in Toronto. Then a sister in New k who had been on the stage d; that he try his luck in this city. - The result: Today he is general manager of Cheryl Crawford, prom= inent New York producer whose presentations include "Brigadoon" and "Love Life." One of the chief ambitions of general managers in theatre busi- ness is to produce a play-on their own, said the well-built, ruddy- complexioned Yorke, who is 48. He is about to realize that ambition. Yorke is producing a comedy call- ed "Japhet" which will play in To- ronto next week. "Japhet," a play about a timid Englishman with Ernest Treux in the lead role, then is scheduled to run in Boston be- fore coming to Broadway. The Englishman, who lives with three maiden aunts, leaves his na- tive shores for the United States in search of romance and glamor -- and gets a bit more than he bar- gained for. "Producing is a gamble," Yorke said. "If the show is a hit, you make money. If it's a flop, your backers lose money." His business association with Miss Crawford began three years ago when she was helping to run the American Repertory Theatre. Prior to that he was with the Theatre Guild in the business end of the profession for 17 years. Yorke, who is married and has a small son, has just acquired a two- acre property near Chappaqua, N.Y He attended a public school on Huron Street in Toronto, then went to Lake Lodge School at Grimsby; and the Royal Military College at Kingston. By the end of the first world war he was in the Royal Flying Corps. ' Things were tough when he first came to New York. When his money began to run out, he tried for a berth with the now-defunct New York Americans hockey team. They told him to report next day with his skates. But that night a message from the Theatre Guild offered him a chance to go on the road. "I jumped at the chance," smiled | Yorke, "It. was easier than hoc- key." A i Blind from Birth, Canadian Pianist Invited to Play in Albert Hall By NORMAN CRIBBENS London--(CP)--Mary Munn, gift- ed Canadian blind pianist now liv- ing in London, is a philosopher as well as a musician. "I sometimes think that if states- men and politicians listened to great music before going in to de- bate the world would be saved a lot of headaches," said Mary when interviewed in her some at Ealing Common, "There is 3 power in the work of the masters that transcends petty grievances. That at least has been my experience. I get very angry sometimes . . . but it passes when I play the piano or go to a good concert." ; Since she first left her native Montreal 22 years ago, Miss Munn"s talent has been. divided between Canada, Britain, the United States and European countries. She has given recitals in London regularly since last January and the critics have been unanimous in their praise. A She has been asked to play Greig's piano concerto with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Albert Hall, November 21. "I regard it as an honor," she said, "and I shall certainly give of my best." , Remarkable. Memory Born blind, Mary' has trained her- self since childhood to memorize full-length symphonic. works note by note. She can repeat as much as five pages of Mozart after hear- ing them played only once; com- plex music has to be learned pro- gressively in five-bar sections. She memorized the Greig concerto in 14 hours.

Back in London two years later, a series of piano recitals proved so successful she was invited to play in other European capitals.

On the wedding invitations she had her name engraved "Mrs. Grace Williams." (This is not her name, but this was the form.) I main- tain that, since she is a widow, she should have used "Mrs. Thomas Williams" as her name on the in- vitations. Who is right about this? 2. And thé bride's thank-you notes have certainly caused a lot of talk! She wrote notes of 'thanks to friends she had known for years and had always called by their first names, beginning these notes "Dear Mrs. Brown," for example And she signed these notes "Mrs. Janet Williams Smith." I main- tain that she should have begun these notes "Dear Mary," and signed them "Janet and John." Right? Ellen T. 1. You are 100 per cent right about this. A widow should con- tinue to use her husband's name, and your sister should have used "Mrs. Thomas Williams." Socially it is never correct for a widow to use her first name after "Mrs." . . . "Mrs. Grace Williams." And it was particularly unfortunate that the bride's mother did not use the cor- erct form of her name on such ex- tremely important Social items as formal wedding invitations. b 2. You are right about the cor- rect salutation form for the bride's thank-you notes: "Dear Mary" (not the formal name, "Dear Mrs. Brown," for a friend whom one calls by her first name). Also a letter, any kind of letter to anyone --social, professional or business-- should never be signed with a title before the name. Notes to intimate friends she should have signed "Janet." If more identification were needed, she should have signed "Janet Williams," or, if written after her marriage, "Janet Williams Smith." (The notes should not have been signed "Janet and John," as you suggested . . . her finance's (or husband's) thanks should have been expressed in the body of the notes, and the notes signed with her name only.) Spoon at Right of Plate: Fork at Left of Plate Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Will you please answer this ques- iton which came up in a meeting of our Women's Club the other day: When setting the table for a luncheon where a knife is not to be required, what is the correct placing for the fork and spoon? : M. R. The spoon is placed at the right of the plate, which is the correct place for a spoon, and the fork is placed at the left of the plate, which is the correct place for a fork. (As a matter of fact, many punctilious hostesses, even if the menu doesn't seem to call for a knife, have a knife placed at the right of the plate for the conven- ience of any guest who wishes to use it.) Kindness .in Sharing Gifts in a Hospital Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My sister is in a hospital, is to be there for some time, and her friends have been very kind in sending her flowers, fruit, magazines, books, and so forth. She has so many that she and I are wondering if it would be proper to suggest sending them WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT Widow's Name on Invitation? ; By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN to patients in the wards. Or would this be out-of-order? Sarah Not at all out-of-order, this sug- gestion . . . but very thoughtful and generous. The proper procedure is to ask the head floor nurse how to go about sending these gifts to pa- itents she suggests. (Flowers are sometimes a problem to pass along to patients because nurses now us- ually don't have time to arrange and care for them.) COURTESY TIP By MRS. BEECKMAN When you say your greetings, when you acknowledge an intro- duction, or when you say good-by, speak with such a gracious direct ness that you will assure the other person of your friendliness . . . thereby making an excellent first impression, and an excellent and lasting last impression. (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions submitted by readers.) Favorite Rice Dish Proven Man-Winner Any recipe that comes tagged as a man's favorite has extra draw- ing appeal. After all, homemakers the world over do most of their best cooking for the men in their lives. So, if a dish is one man's favorite--it might turn into a fav- orite of your man's, too. This recipe gives a chance to ex- periment once on this angle of thinking. The first thing to do is to pre- pare your rice. Here is a sure-fire, time-saving method I think youll like. Fluffy White Rice Put one cup rice, one teaspoon salt and two cups cold water in a two-quart saucepan and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Set over a hot flame until it boils vigorously. Then reduce heat as low as posible and simmer for 14 minutes more, during which time the water will be ab- sorbed, making the rice delicious- ly tender. Remove the lid, permit the rice to steam dry to the desir- ed consistency and the grains will be separate and fluffy. Never stir rice, but lift rice gently with a fork when "testing its consistency. Jere's Favorite Rice Dish Three cups hot boiled rice; two cups milk; three tablespoons bute ter or margarine! three table- spoons flour; one teaspoon salt; dash red pepper; one cup grated American ¢neese; one-half eup sliced stuffed olives. Melt butter or margarine in the top of a double boiler or use a heavy saucepan. Blend in the flour until until it is a smooth mixture. Gradually add milk, stir- ring constantly. Keep stirring and cooking until the sauce is as smooth as silk and has thickened. Take from heat and stir in grate ed cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted. Add sliced olives. Put rice in a greased baking dish and pour the sauce over it. Bake in 375 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the sauce and rice have be- come in flavor as one. This well serve four as a main dish and is perfect for a supper or luncheon, rounding out the meal with salad and dessert. as if we were some sort of comic |: FOR YOUR Wedding © Invitations ® Announcements ENGRAVED -- SUPERGRAVED PRINTED A complete selection of type faces and modern wedding stationery.
