THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1950 In The THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE ¢AGE SEVEN WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT :- My Resposibility As Godparent? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN GLAMORIZING :- Chose the Right Coiffure By HELEN FOLLETT BEAUTY FOR YOU :- Superfluous Hair By HELEN JAMESO Facial fuzzers are no minor good- fooks grief. Since it is possible to remove these unsightly growths, one om sees a woman SO afflicted. he old days, when beautifying looked upon as sinful, there was nothing to do but to grin and pear it. If the Lord had seen fit to place an incipient moustache on the lip of Mary Jane, there it re- mained, with the result that she was an unhappy creature. A lot of water has run under the beauty bridge since then, and the world 4s a better place for the female of jes, a pore of the body, ex- eept the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet, there is a tiny Bair. It is only when these shafts develop into elongated threads or stiff bristles that they should be regarded as blemishes. If there is 8 soft down on the cheeks, it should pot be tampered with. Developed hairs can be removed by means of the electric needle that has been used successfully for this purpose nearly sixty years. TE Dit is not suitable for the extermination of fuzzers on the arms and legs, since each individual hair must be treated and the pro- cess of elimination is slow. A soft pliable needle, usually a old one, is inserted in the pore side the shaft. An experienced operator will have fingers so trained and sensitive that the needle will w any turns, twists or slants he pore and go directly to its objective, the papilla, from which the shaft emerges. The electric current is turned on, the papilla is destroyed and no little understudy can appear to carry on. The current is so regu- lated that skin tissues are not burn- ed, so no scars will result. In past years, when a heavy steel needle was used, and methods had not been developed, scars did appear. That need never happen now. Also, with multiple needles, the treat- ment progresses faster. The shaft is removed with the tweezers. If it comes away without resistance, the operator knows that the papilla has not been put out of business. If it does resist, the every pore in the body. * needle) is inserted again and the current used. A fine, dark growth--not bristly, but still an annoyance to the vic- tim--can be bleached so that it will not be so conspicuous. Peroxide is used for the purpose, and the bottle must be freshly opened if the con- tents are to be effective. To one tablespoonful of peroxide a single drop of ammonia is added -- no more! The lotion is applied with cotton, allowed to dry on. Several applications, a day apart, may be necessary. For hair on the arms and legs, depilatories can 'be used. They come in various forms, can be ob- tained at any cosmetic counter. Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood,-- (AP) --The movie mown has changed little over the years, says Sally Eilers, film "Bad Girl" of the "30s who is returning | to the screen after a lengthy ab- | e. | her 22 years of Hollywood life, | Miss Eilers boasted, she has never | been involved in a scandal. She admits to having married four| times, "but that can happen to anyone in any town." | Miss Eilers became a top. star in "Bad Girl" and was one of the symbols of the depression-era flap- | per. She is making a film return as the dance hall queen in "Lost | Stage Valley," which is being pro- duced by one of her former Rus-| bands, Harry Joe Brown. | She is amused by. the current | popularity of the weekly Charles- | ton contest at the Mocambo. She cited that as an example of how | little Hollywood has changed. Sold Back Prizes "I can remember when Joan] Crawford, Sally Blane, myelf and other gals used to compete in tae] Charleston contest at the Coconut | Grove,' she sald. "Some of the| gals used to sell their cups back to the management for $15 so they | could buy dresses to get themselves movie jobs." Film players have it easier in these days of union regulations, she said. The actress, who made nine pictures in one year follov- ing "Bad Girl," recalls one gruel- lin, experience in her early days. Being a Charleston expert, she was signed for a film to rival Joan Craw=- ford's success, "Our Dancing Daugn- ters." Miss Eilers danced the Charleston from eight in the morning until 2:30 the following morning. When a studio boss visited the set, she confessed she could hardly dance another step. "Don't worry; Ill fix things," said the bigwig, leaviug the set. "I thought he was a prince until he came back--bringing some hlack coffee so I could continue," said.

BUNDESEN, M.D. MEDICAL CHECK-UPS The child can have no. better | health insurance than regular visits | to the doctor. Many parents realize this where the baby or young child is concerned but, once the child has passed the age of three, many mothers unfortunately believe he can get along without the doctor's supervision unless he falls ill. This is not a good idea at all. The older child should have a medical check- up at least twice a year so that any abnormal condition may be discov- ered. early and treated promptly. Younger children should be exam- ined more often. In the course of such routine examinations, it is not unusual for the physician to discover murmurs or abnormal sounds during heart beat. This may or may not be a cause for alarm. Many of these murmurs. are func- tional; that is, they are not due to any actual disease of the heart but to the way in which the heart works. In such cases, there is no need for restricting the child's ac- tivities in any way. a restriction is cdrried out, it may result in some type of nervous dis- '| turbance in the youngster. | There are a number of about these murmurs which serve to tell them from heart murmurs caused by actual damage to the heart. If there is any doubt about the matter, it is suggested that an KL-ray examination of the heart, as well as an electrocardiogram or | electric tracing of 'the heart beat, be made. These two things will aid greatly in telling if the heart is sound or not. The physician also carries out a number of other tests. For example, he will examine the heart while the child is at rest and then after exer- cise.

Softly flattering, a face framer, it has center part, deep side waves. * Shorties and tallies among the sisters should keep in mind the fact that the size of the feminine shape is less important than its propor- | tions. It may happen that it is | not always the number of inches | that makes a girl appear tall, but the - proportion of the head to the | rest of the body. A small head | makes its owner seem taller than |a woman of the same height with a large head. The width of the | head should be less than its length if the feminine tete is to have the | oval contour that is considered ideal | by artists. | The coiffure can be so designed | that good lines are. brought. out. | It can make a short neck look long- er, the plump one thinner, the thin | one plumper. Hair stylists have these matters down to a fine point. Affects Height Posture affects the height of the individual. One part of the body may droop or sag. and head may be stooped but even * Only the neck | * that is ruinous to the graceful sil- houette. It may make a difference in the height and it likewise makes a difference in the lines of the body. Protruding tummy, hollow back, are caused by the weakening of the muscles of the torso. This condi- tion is the penalty a girl pays for not © 2 aining cor: osture. In the perfect figure, the should- ers and the hips are the same width. In children and very young girls, the hips are narrower. When the hips are wider than the should- ers, ungraceful lines result, and that is when Missus Hippy must toddle to the family doc, have him pro- vide her with daily menus that will give her all the necessary food ele- ments, but will not feed her fat cells. Horizontal lines in attire are a well known device for decreasing apparent height. They can be in- troduced in the form of neckwear, belts, contrasting colors in blouses and skirts, murmur disappears or becomes very faint. With ordinary breathing, it again becomes louder. Changing posture, such as lying down after first being examined while sitting up, may cause the murmur to be- come very faint, or to disappear en- tirely. These conditions usually happen with a functional murmur, Murmurs caused by heart dam- age are usually rough and harsh, while the functional murmurs cause a soft, blowing sound. Of course, should a heart mur- mur be detected, a careful study must be made to determine exactly what is producing it. If it is a functional murmur, there is no need to be concerned any further about it. If it is due .to heart damage, the cause of th: heart damage must be discovered and the child's activ- ities regulated in accordance with the amount of injury the heart has sustained. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A Reader: Can you give me in- formation on Parkinson's Disease? Is there any cure for this disease? What medicine is used? Answer: Parkinson's Disease is a condition affecting the nervous sys- tem. It occurs in old age, and is characterized by a tremor of the head, legs, and arms, and a disturb- ance of the gait. There is no treatment which has been found to be of value in all cases. Parpanit has been given «with very good results in some in- stances. This preparation does not cure the condition, but it does seem to have some beneficial effect in re- lieving symptoms. A CHARMED LIFE Essendine, Rutland, England (CP) --MTrs.

Wins Many Prizes With Siamese Cats Lethbridge, Alta.,--(CP)-- Siam- ese cats "are just the most beauti- kul animals, says Mrs. J, V. Fil- chak of Lethbridge. "From the moment I purchased one in 1944 as a pet, I fell in love with them and decided to breed them." Mrs. Filchak now has nine of the sleek animals in her cattery and has had as many as 17 at one time in the past. Her cats have won top prizes in Dominion shows at Tor- onto, Besides breeding the cats, Mrs. Filchak has become well acquaint- ed with their history. "It is not known definitely when they really became the sacred sym- bol of Siam, under the direct pa- tronage of the kings of that coun- try," she says. "But it is a well- established fact that any person causing bodily harm or even the slightest discomfort to one of these cats was put to death as punish- ment for the crime." Just prior to 1890 two of the first Siamese cats to leave Siam were sent to England as a gift to Queen Victoria from King Prajadhipok of Siam. "After 1910 the Siamese cats came into their own in America. Here- tofore, this breed was almost en- tirely unknown here, Few breeder- exhibitors possessed Siamese cats SN Her "Dream" Ring . . . a beautiful crea- tion, richly engraved with exquisite art- istry and highlighted with a big diamond of flawless brilliance! 5100 Now...510 pown $2.50 WEEKLY Guaranteed perfect and insured free against loss. desi is another style you'll want to see -- distinguished by classic simplicity of beauty.

WEST BURNS CREDIT JEWELLERS Lp. 'PHONE 389 Dear Mrs. Beeckman: ' Please help us. We have asked a very dear friend of ours to be godfather to our new son. We are Methodists, and are in doubt as to the duties (if you call them that) of a godfather. Our friend is very enthuiastic about being the god- father of our son, says "we must discuss it soon," and we would like to be informed when we talk to him, M.C. W. The responsibility a godparent as- sumes is a moral and spiritual one: to take special interest in the child's life and welfare, in his religious training, in his education and car- eer; and if ever advice and help are needed, to give this according to his or her ability. The child's godfather and godmother really stand in the position of- "substitute parents," guardians to the child should it be left alone in the world. The godparent is sponsor at the christening. It is customary for a godparent to give the child a chris- tening gift. And usually, too, the godparent makes a point of "re- membering" important events in the child's life -- birthdays, gradua- tions, school or business or profes- sional promotions, engagement and marriage, and other milestones. Never Necesary to Have Wedding Reception Dear Mrs. Beeckman: To settle an argument in our family, will you please answer this question: Is it absolutely necessary to have a wedding reception after the ceremony . . even if the church wedding is a large, formal one? Althea M. No... it is not necessary to have a reception after any type of wed- ing, large or small, formal or in- formal. It depends entirely on the wishes of the bride and her family. As a matter of fact, very often a bride cHooses to have only the spiri- tual ocfasion of a ehurch ceremony . with no social occasion what-. ever. The Joint Shower . . . For Bride- To-Be and Groom-To-Be Dear Mrs. Beeckman: ; I am planning to give a bridal shower for a friend of mine . . . a Miscellaneous Shower. Would it pe correct for me to invite six couples to this shower, or would it be in better taste to invite girls onlv? E. M. Although the "joint showe.' is not often given, and is definitely frowned on in some communities, there is really no reason to con- sider it incorrect. Indeed it can he a very gay and festive occasion! Usually, however, instead 'of a Mis- cellaneous Shower, the girls are asked to bring a definite kind of gift to the bride-to-be (stockings, for example, or kitchen utensils) and thé men are asked to bring a definite kind of gift to the groom- to-be (socks, for example, if the | girls are asked to bring stockings to the bride-to-be, or tools, if the girls are to bring kitchen utensils to the bride-to-be). These are simply suggestions . . , there. are many varieties of gifts, of course; but usually in a joint shower, the gifts to each of the guests of honor are of a similar or somewhat simi- lar nature. Engag A Newspapers In Fiance's Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am not having an engagement- announcement party . . . just telling or writing to my close friends and City Sent To | | | relatives, and my parents are make ing the formal announcement in our local newspapers. I met my flance on a cruise several months ago; he and his family live several hundred miles from here, and I should think some announcement should be made to his friends and relatives. How Is this done? Mims At the time you are telling your relatives and friends and writing to those at a distance, your flance should be telling his relatives and friends. (You both should ask each one not to tell the secret until the date you mention . . . the date the annoucement will be published in the newspapers.) Then your par- ents send to the newspapers in your fiance's home city and the same an- nouncement they send to the local newspapers. Weaving Ceramics Profitable Hobbies Toronto, --(CP)-- Weaving and pottery-making are profitable hob- bies for Mrs. John Pritchard, grey= haired widow of a newspaper man. The weaving came first. She took it up at the suggestion of friends after her daughter, Nancy, was married three years ago and moved away from the family home. Her success at the loom, turning out luncheon and tea sets and place mats, encouraged her to venture inte another field. She took a nine-month course in ceramics. Now she makes and sells ceramic centrepieces, ashtrays and fluted dishes. And she is teaching four other persons the ceramic art. Mrs, Pritchard believes 'everyone should have a hobby. "Everyone has at least one talent she could develop that would give her hours of satisfaction," she says. Mrs. Pritchard loves her work but emphasizes that it is not *a business but "just an awful lot of | fun." select the exact candles you want at our magic candle bar! ® 22 Decorator Colors e Wide range of styles and sizes © These "Jewels of Light" styled by famous Ajello Walmsley and McGill PHONE 5204 9 KING ST.
