FRIDAY, APRIL 21, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE + Aus SEVEN -- F INT | BEAUTY FOR YOU: 4 Do You Walk Or Do You Hobble? By HELEN Abuse your feet and they will it and get back at you. A twing- can throw the calmest, most philosophical woman completely out of form, cause her to snarl and ap. No telling how many divorces gap been caused by ill-fitting ghoes, how many husbands have gun away from home because the fittle woman insisted on wearing high heels that made her back and head ache, put frowns between her eyes and kinks in her nervous sys- hiropodists tell us that it is rare to feet that aren't deformed, beset with corns, lack- ing in this, that or the other point. They fall short, not of perfection-- for there are no perfect feet to- day--but of being even presentable. Most adult feet are ugly. And there §s no sane reason why that condi- tion should be. It is due almost en- tirely to the fact that shoes are gelected casually, seldom have the asts, Tight Jase iy regard the action of the foot as consisting' merely of flexion and rotation, whereas it has thirty-eight articulations. The ex- traordinary movements of dancers could not be executed but for the remarkable flexibility and rength of their feet. ir pack our feet in shoes that ar art in appearance and make them "look cute." The size of the foot should be in proportion to. the pest of the body. How often does one see a half-ton woman totter- ing around on high heels, and in shoes that are much too full of feet for her comfort? She appears ridiculous. When you go stalking footwear, make up your mind that you 'are going to use your head for the pur- e for which it was intended. n't be a hasty shopper. Tell the clerk that comfort comes before style, though you would like to have both. Steer clear of goofy de- signs; they make a girl éonspicuous. Ladies of fashion -- who are al- ballet | JAMESGN Comfort comes before style. LE BE J ways conservative -- just don't wear them. It is important that the shoes you wear have leather uppers and flexible leather soles to give free- dom of movement to your feet. They should be wide enough so that you can wiggle your toes; if you can't do that they will go into a huddle, corns and callouses will develop, and life will be bitter. If you can't endure existence without high heels, wear them only during evening festivities. It was never intended that they should be worn on the street. During the day- time, get on a firm footing, wear- ing heels only moderately high. WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT :- Overcoming Family Prejudice? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs, Beeckman: I need some advice . for I am in a terrible situation caused by prejudice. How stupid prejudiced people are! I have been going steady with a Russian fellow for two years. I am of Italian des- ce! am sure he loves me, and I re I love him. He is twenty- two years old, I am twenty and I am positive we know our own minds. We would have become en- gaged several times, but his moth- er disapproves because of my na- tionality. For the past week he has fot been speaking to his family, and in this time I have not seen him, only spoken to him on the telephone. He wants to come down to see me, but his family won't let him out of the house. Please give me some advice. . . but fast, EP. I wish I could, I wish I could . .. but prejudice such as you say this is, is as adamant as ignorance (they are closely related) and as Guest Best Linens Say "welcome" to house-guests with exquisite bedroom and bath linens!

Only you yourself, if you could ever be given the opportunity, could destroy the prejudice of this family against you and your fine and splendid na- tionality . . . by your goodness and sweetness and gentle understand- ing, by your deep and abiding love of their son and your wish to bring only happiness to him and to them. This may sound impossible, too idealistic . . . but it has been done and it can be done. I am wondering if prejudice is really the only obstacle in your ro- mance, May it also be that the young man's family consider you and also their son too young or too immature for marriage? Has he a position so that he can support you ... if so, what, I wonder, became of his work when his family "wouldn't let him out of the house?" And if they created such barriers, how was he able to talk to you on the tele- phone? Your problem is, I think, apparent; you must not only try to conquer their .prejudice, but the young man's lack of decision and backbone, his lack of bravery-to- win-in-love. Correct Form of Name Fer Name-Plate Dear Mrs, Beeckman: Kindly advise us which form of our name is correct for a name- plate for our house: The Beaches Live Here or The Beach's Live Here Thank you The Beaches Live Here is correct.

Giving a White Bible to First Bride In New Church Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I have heard of the custom of giving a white Bible to the first bride in a new church. Would you please tell us if this is presented as a gift from the pastor or from the parish? Also is it presented be- fore the ceremony, or at the con- clusion of the ceremony? D.O. This is a wonderful idea . . . and I have known several brides who have the great good-fortune to own such a deeply-cherished Holy Book. If the pastor is a close friend of the. bride and her family he may give her this Bible .. . but more oft- en the members of the parish plan to contribute to the fund for this is a memorable gift. But definitely it should be presented to the bride- to-be quite a time before the wed- | ding, so that she may if she wishes | (and this is often the choice) make her plans to carry this white Bible (perhaps with a few flower mark- ers in it) instead of a'buoquet. MEMO TO ENGAGED GIRLS: Please introduce your fiance as "my fiance" . . . never, please, as "my boy friend." It sounds cheap, taw- dry, to introduce him as "my boy friend" or to refer to him as "my boy friend." MEMO TO ENGAGED MEN: Please introduce your fiancee as "my fiancee" , . . never, please, as "my girl friend." Here's a fine be- ginning to give dignity to your in- irauepons of your prospective wife.

BUNDESEN, M.D. INGROWN TOENAILS INGROWN toenails are respons- ible for much pain and even a good deal of disability. The nail grows into the surrounding flesh when- ever the natural groove between them becomes filled with soft. tis- sue, a condition which results from poorly-fitting shoes and faulty trimming of the nails, Recently, an operation, so simple tha', it can be carried out in the doctor's office, has been developed tc correct this condition. Making use of a light, stainless steel plate with an underturned edge, it gives prompt and permanent results. The Tissues If there is any inflamation of the tissues, the feet are soaked in hot water daily until this inflam- mation subsides. Before the operation, the plate is trimmed so that it fits exactly over the end of the toe, and js put into an antiseptic solution. Then a local anesthetic is injected until the tissues are completely dead- ened. The swollen tissue is cut from around the nail margin to expose the tip of the ingrown nail. The metal plate is then slipped under the nail edge and gently pushed into position. in place with adhesive tape and a surgical gauze bandage put on. If both sides of the nail are af- fected, two small plates are used. Immediately after operation, the patient is able to be up and about, and all the soreness generally dis- appears within two or three days. On the third day, the outer dres- sing is changed if necessary. . Left in Place The plate is left in place until the nail has grown out over the end of the toe. After a period of three weeks, the plate can be re- moved and replaced with ease and without any pain. Following recovery, the patient is instructed not to cut the nails roundings at the corners but rather to cut them straight across, and to wear properly fitting shoes so that the condition does not recur. In view of the fact that this is such & simple operation and brings such prompt relief, it would seem to be well worth while. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A Daily Reader: What would cause pain around the hips, the lower back, and deep in the but- tocks? Answer: Pain in these areas can come from many conditions, such as inflammation in the joints of the spine, inflammation of the muscles and connective tissues in these areas, or from what is known as a herniated intervertbral disk. These disks are bits of cartilage between the bones of the spine. Tumor growths and disorders within the lower part of the ab- domen might also be responsible. You should have a careful study made by an orthopedic specialist to determine the exact cause, There always are some pieces of household silver which are not used every day.

LJ - * BLONDE lovelies with fair skin, honey-colored hair and blue eyes must restrict make-up that is ob- vious by day but they can dip more liberally in the make-up box for evening glamor. By way of varia- tion they can use a faint blue eye- shadow with flecks of silver, touch the lashes with blue mascara. That means that cheek rouge should not be added, that the lipstick should be faint and delicate. . Redheads, too, must be canny with artifice. They must remember that their flaming thatches are the one great asset. Nothing in the way of facial decorations should detract from it. As a rule, these Titian-tops have delicate, fair skins of fine texture, so lovely that only the slightest bit of coloring in the way of factory blushes should be added. Lipstick must be subdued; the happy choice in coloring is usually an orange-red. The girl with copper-colored hair can wear green eye shadows and is that something!

The rotund debutant has for many seasons been a leading basso and foremost comedian .of * the Metropolitan Opera House. He opens here next Monday in "The Chocolate Soldier." "I have done light opera before," he said, "but that was long ago when I was in Italy. I have only a week of rehearsal for this show but I studied the part in New York. I do not find it difficult because the stage is the stage, whether it is opera, light opera or straight drama." New Field He agreed that the engagement might open a whole new field for him in the same manner that Ezio Pinza hit by moving from. the Met to Broadway, "But I would not want to be tied up, as Pinza is to 'South Pacific'" said Baccaloni. "Even after he comes out here to do a picture, he has to go back to the play." The basso added that he also is interest- ed in movies and may do a color version of "Barber of Seville" in Italy this summer. Baccolini said he would return to the Met next year. I sought his opinion of the controversial actions of the new manager, Rudulph Bing. "He is a capable man and. he has a tremendous job on his shoul- ders," was the answer. "As to how he succeeds, that will be determin- ed after he has had his first sea- son." . : Discharged Nurses End Stay-in Strike West Hartlepool, England (CP-- Two dismissed nurses who staged a six-month stay-in strike in Hartle- pool's hospital finally have agreed to leave. Elsie and Elizabeth Driver, sisters, were dismissed last October after criticizing the food served the hos- pital staff. Backed by a nurses' union, they refused to vacate their quarters. Their stand brought an official probe and the resignation of the hospital management committee. But the regional hospital board up- held their dismissal. . The sisters agreed to leave after the hospital management threaten- ed to cut off their meals. They said they were given to understand their leaving would "clear the way for negotiations on our behalf."

Saskatchewan now has four V.O.N. branches, Alberta three, Manitoba one and British Columbia nine. The Canadian province with the largest- number of branches is On- tario, which has 63. The V.O.N. was founded by Lady Aberdeen in 1897, when her husband was governor-general, to meet the nursing and health instruction needs of the growing population of Canada. Since then it has expand- ed to a Canada-wide service with 110 branches employing 517 nurses. Responding to calls and requests from doctors, hospitals, health and social agencies and the families of the sick, V.O.N. nurses in 1949 made 981,955 visits altogether in caring for a total of 139,270 patients. In 1949, 78,535 women were nursed through childbirth and given ex- pert instruction regarding their own health and the care of their babies. More than 50,000 medical and surgical cases were treated in their own homes under medical supervision and health instruction was given in more than 8,000 cases as part of the sickness prevention campaign. | Patients who can afford to pay are charged a fee for each visit by a V.O.N. nurse. However, in 1948, 55 per cent of the nursing service was given free. | The governor-general, Viscount | Alexander, is patron of the order | and Viscountess Alexander is hon- orary president.
