THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1949 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN [52 ~ OF INT BEAUTY FOR YOU Every Woman Should Act Her Age By REILEN Of what avail the external evi- dences of loveliness if one's friends drop away from one, if the members of the family give one the cold shoulder at times? That is what happens to the woman who has never grown up emotionally. In al- most every large family there is one of that type. She is far from hap- py and she makes others miserable. 8he is one of the world's worst bores. ! she has never outgrown the sel- fishness of her baby days. Then she, had to have the best toy when play- ing with her comrades. Now she has to have the tenderloin from the | steak, the smallest leaves from the lettuce, the best easy chair, and everybody carrying and fetching for her. Teacher knows what you are thinking, my friend. You have in mind just such a person and, no doubt, you consider her a pig of purest ray serene, Which she is. If she is frustrated in the slight. est way she has tantrums. She would like to roll on the floor, kick | and scream, as she did when she was a child. She sulks, lifts her voice in protest, tells you that fate and every human hand in her im- mediate world is raised against! her. She doesn't look pretty. She| has developed deep frowns between | her eyes. Her face carries an ex-| pression of petulance and self-pity. | This woman will never face her responsibilities. So everybody else has to carry on for her which, real- ly, is not fair business, since every adult should carry his or her load. She can never come to a decision. If you know such a woman and she asks you to make a decision for her, | don't do it. If anything goes wrong she'll fly at you in a fury and say | that it is your fault. Tell her it is all you can do to decide what vou | should do in managing your own| affairs. | If she can't have everything she| wants or everything the way she wants it, she either bawls or fights. The members of her family get so weary and bored they are likely to| do everything possible in the way of | JAMESON {1 Ja: Distributed by King Features Syndicate, The members of her family are likely to do everything in the way of appeasement, A LB BN J appeasement. That makes her be- havior even more trying, but can you blame them? If there isn't peace in the house, the house is not a haven or a home. Suggest that she be her age and she will tell you that she is as she is and she can't change. The truth is, of course, that she doesn't want to change. She has no desire to do for others as she expects others to do for her. She's all for getting, never giving. When the time comes for such a woman to be taken to her Maker, few tears will be shed. There will be sighs of relief instead. It has happened again and again. Youthful Redhead Top Executive For British Jet-Plane Company New York --(CP)-- 'Cynthia | Holloway, General Manager," is the | imposing title on the door. If you walked into her office in London | you would find a vivacious 27-year- | old redhead seated behind+ the desk.

"I was lucky," she confesses. "My employer was in the Air Force and I had been in the W.A.A.F,, so that gave us something in common. He was very helpful -- instead of simply telling me what to do, he'd explain how it should be done and why." : After her discharge from the Air Force, Mrs. Holloway got a job with Power Jets as secretary. Being a young company with lots of room for advancement for those with ambition, it promoted her rapidly. Mrs. Holloway manages' to com- bine successfully her career with her home-making. Her husband, a water-transport engineer, helps with the cooking, marketing and housekeeping in their apartment in Chelsea. "He's really a better cook than I am," she acknowledges, "although I'm better at making soups." She is amused at people's reac tion in the United States when they find the general manager of Power Jets is a personable young woman. "They, expect to find a portly] gentleman along the line of Colonel Blimp, I guess," she smiles. "But men in England aren't surprised -- they got used to working with women in all sorts of jobs during the war." Mrs. Holloway finds her job too intensive to permit hobbies. "But I did make this hat -- the frame came from Paris and I sewed the ribbon on it." The hat was made| entirely of lavender ribbons and] she wore a pale lavender dress to match. "I'm afraid I'm just not the do- su mestic type -- I love my work too|: much," she said in mock sorrow. Isolated Children Have Book Service Melbourne, Australia -- (CP) -- A world-famous pianist is running a mobile library service for Austral- ian children living in "the outback." The pianist is Hepzibah Menuhin, sister of the celebrated violinist, Yehudi Menuhin, In private life, she is Mrs. Lindsay Nicholas, wife of a grazier at Terinallum, Pura Dura, in the western district of Victoria. ; Her travelling library is housed in a post-war model utility truck, in the back of which are wooden boxes arranged . as bookshelves. These contain over 1,000 children's books. The unit has travelled more than 2,300 miles in the last year, visiting small settlements, schools and farms in outlying areas and open- ing new worlds of color and ad- venture to lonely youngsters. Raising funds to start the library was the first job that Mrs. Nicholas and her helpers had to tackle. By holding dances in the wool shed at Terinallum and - asking business business firms to contribute, they raised enough money to buy the utility truck and to have boxes made for the books. Mrs. Nichplas sald it was decided to distribute the books "through bush 'schools, and teachers were asked to tell the children about the scheme. The children now look forward eagerly to "library day," once every 14 days. ployed will depend upon the kind not be neglected since the condi- | tithe, but rotate the pieces, using A Physician Advises You By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. SINUS INFECTIONS UNLIKE colds which, for the most part, occur during the incle- ment months, sinus infections can develop at any time, of year. They do, of course, often come as an aftermath to colds, but, for those who swim, warm weather can offer as much of a hazard as winter in this regard. An acute infection of the sinuses should be treated just as is any other acute infection. The patient should be put at rest in bed in a well-ventilated room, and the air in the room should be kept moist. He should be given plenty of fluids and made comfortable with such drugs as the physician may pre- scribe, such as aspirin. Heat or Cold In acute sinus infection, the ap- plication of heat or cold over the affected area will often give relief from pain. If there is a great deal of congestion in the nose, nose drops, containing substances which shrink the lining membrane, may be used. Some acute sinus infections pro- duce fever. If the fever continues, the physician will decide whether or not to use such preparations as the sulfonamides, penicillin, or strep- tomycin. The substance to be em- of germs producing the infection. It would appear that these prepara- tions do not have a great deal of benefit when used locally. - In other words, the sulfonamides are given by mouth, and the penicillin by in- jection into a muscle. The same is true of the streptomycin. Most physicians, as a rule, do not start active treatment of the sinus infection until the patient no longer has fever. Increase Drainage The treatment used helps to in- crease the drainage from the nose without injuring the nasal tissues. It may include the use of nose drops followed by the application of heat over the affected area. Afterwards, | gentle suction may be employed to stimulate drainage. Washing out the sinuses is not done very often. If such washing is done, it must be carefully carried out by an expert because of certain dangers connected with it, such as damage to the tissues, injury to blood vessels, and excessive bleed- ing. An acute sinus infection should i tion may then befome chronic and | serve as a source of trouble for a period of years. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS M.S... My sister put a sharp ob- ject into. her boy's ear to remove | some wok. The ear bled a little and now he complains of earache when- ever he presses his ear with his hand. Did she haym the ear in any way? Answer: It is likely that some damage has occurred to the exter- nal ear canal. An examination by an ear specialist should be carried out to determine just what hap- pened. It is possible that there is some infection present. Treatment will be necessary to eliminate the difficulty. Of course, sharp objects should not be used in the ear canal. M. W.: My husband and I both have poor vision.

Iced Tea on the Terrace This young lady has the answer to hot weather days--iced tea. Glasses, ice, sugar if you like, tea made a little stronger than usual to counter- act dilution from melting ice, and a bit of lemon or mint--and there it is, a nice cool drink on a hot day or evening. It goes fine with salads and other summer foods, or with sandwiches, cake, or just about any- thing else you can think of. In this case, the lady of the house raided the deep freeze for some out-of-season corn on the cob.

Flashing a large diamond engage- ment ring, the dark-haired actress said the date of her wedding to Florida's Bill Pawley, Jr., hinges on the M.G.M. epic. It was postponed from this year until next spring, when a full company is slated to sail for Italy. ! "There're no sense in getting married if I have to leave and spend nine months in Europe," says Liz. However, if the picture is called off--and rumors continue to fly-- you can look for an early marriage for the 17-year-old beauty. Elizabeth now is separated by a continent from her fiance, who works in Miami. "You surely have the far-flung romances," I said, re- calling her England-to-Korea love match with football "star Glenn Davis. "Isn't it awful?" must be fated." Tuesday Titbits Gene Tierney leaves here the day after she finishes "Whirlpool" and sails for England this week. She'll make "Night and the City," in which she plays a bad woman.

"I WHAT SHOULD 1 Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Please tell me just what is high tea. for a bride-to-be. To this kind of party do the guests take gifts with them, or is just one present given by the hostess? And what does a woman guest wear? AK. There are two differences between high tea and the usual tea: (1) high tea is served at a later hour, at six or half-past six instead of half-past four or five o'clock; and (2) at a high tea more food is serv- ed and it is of a more substantial ngture than the usual tea-menu. However, the high tea menu is not substantial as a buffet menu, Very often at a high tea the tea-menu is served with the addition of the always-popular chicken salad or in mid-summer fruit salad, or any other kind of salad. Or sometimes the menu features substantial- sandwiches rather than the small, simple, sandwiches serv- ed at tea; for example, open sand- wiches of turkey or chicken or smok- ed turkey; guava -jelly and cream cheese; or chopped olives and cream cheese; or tiny codfish balls, or grilled cocktail sausages, on tooth- picks, or grilled sardines on toast. Then cakes and cookies are served, with or without ,ice cream; and coffee with perhaps an alterna- tive of a cold drink. I shouldn't think the giving of a high tea for a bride-to-be would mean that the guests would take gifts, any more than they woul A Roll-Up Sun Mat That's Easy to Make Van Johnson, Peter Lawford and Robert Walker vie for Deborah Kerr | in "Please Believe Me."

You can acquire one in lazy luxury in your own back yard or terrace if you have a comfortable beach roll to stretch out on, Here are simple directions, from the Woman's Home Companion, for making a roll-up sun mat, This is what you need: one long strip of plain denim and one of striped, 25 yards long; an extra yard for box- ing strips to go down the sides; six rolls of quilt wadding for stuffing; 21; yards of cototn tape for braided ties. This is what you do. Get every- thing together before starting. The trick is to put two long pieces to=~ gether with boxing strips on side, wadding stitched in. You do this by cutting enough 3-inch-wide boxing strips to piece together two side strips 2% yards long; pin together, baste sides of fabric with these strips, wrong sides out. Stitch seams on machine, wrong sides out, leaving twelve inches open at middle of one long side to use as stuffing vent; then seam two open ends of the sun mat. Turn work right side out, seam again % inch in from edge to make boxed seam. Fold wadding into six pads the width of beach roll and 12 inches the other way; flatten and stuff first one through opening vent. Push bat firmly to one end, anchor with pins, stitch across roll. Con- tinue to set in place, one by one, stitching each bat. Work alternately towards ends, then set last bat in middle at vent and sew up opening. For ease in carrying, braid three 215-inch strips of strong cotton tape and sew to beach roll 8 inches from one end. Then roll up mattress and tie braided tape around it. DO ABOUT Attending A High Tea? By MRS, CORNELIUS BEECEMAN take gifts to a tea given in hone of a bride-to-be. A woman guest wears to a high tea the type of dress she would wear to a tea, a street-length aftérnoon dress or dressy suit. Most unusual procedure: Bridegroom's Friend to Give Bachelor Dinner Dear Mrs. Beeckman: A friend of mine is giving a bachelor dinner soon fot a prospec- tive bridegroom. (1) He would like to know if it would be proper to in- vite the friends and relatives of the bridegroom to a hotel for the party. (2) Would a dinner be appropriate, or should just drinks be served? (3) He would also like to know about the invitations. How should they te worded? And should they be handwritten, or would it be correct to type them? , RM, (1) Traditionally the procedure is that the bridegroom himself gives snd pays for his bachelor dinner, but if your friend takes this over (which is most unusual) and so as- sumes the expense, he will have to make his plans to fit his pocket- book. To his bachelor dinner, the bridegroom invites his best man and ushers, and perhaps several of his other intimate friends and as- sociates, and your friend who is giving the party would of course in- vite the best man and ushers and as many other of the bridegroom's intimate friends as he wishes. The bridegroom's friend who is giving* the dinner may give it in his on home, or at a club or in a private room of a hotel. (2) Since the name of this is "the bachelor dinner," the guests would expect that they were being invited to a dinner, not to a cocktail party. If your friend now feels (as I very much suspect, because of the word- ing of your questions and also be- ceuse of the fact that today some bridegrooms are too inclined to "hint" to one of their attendants (usually the poor, gullible best man!) or one of their friends that it is the responsibility of the best man or the friend to give the bachelor dinner) that he has been "pressed into financial service' rather unwillingly on his part, I suggest that he let the bridegroom take over the expenses of the bachelor dinner, which are rightly his, anyway, and perhaps give a cocktail party for the bridegroom and his attendants. (3) The invitations to such small party as the bachelor dinner usually. is, are usually given by word-of-mouth, perhaps by tele- phone or by telegraph to those who live at a distance. a Planning a Party?
