FRIDAY, APRIL 28, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU :- : 'Sweet Perfumes Fill the Air By HELEN i Psychologists tell us that "pro- ecting" = one's . personality is one way of being successful, either in business or social affairs. That causes one to ponder. By what means do women endeavor to do that little thing? They may achieve a certain dis- tinction by wearing their clothes beautifully. They can make them- selves "different" through the use of a low, sweet Yoles. The life o the party has her own way atbrasting attention. So has the cutie who makes big eyes and looks wistful. And now along comes a famous perfume chemist who says that, definitely and absolutely, the best way for a girl to project her personality is by the application of floretted odors. As perfumes are expensive, and the beauty overhead is not always equal to a heavy indulgence, he suggests that perfume and toilet water should be allies. Toilet water, as the lighter form of perfume, 1; within the possibilities of almost any woman's balance in the cherck- book. It can be used lavishly with- out making one feel self-convicted on the grounds of extravagance It is expressly designed for usc di- rectly on the: body and in such generous amounts as to cover vou th a cloud of scented sweetness. For the sake of conservation the toilet water should be placed in an atomizer; it is the only way by which it can be applied evenly Some firms present their toilet waters with an atomizer, neatly packed in a single container oi at- tractive design. There is no spill- ing, leaking or dissipation of the precious scent, as happens when you tip up the botile in the palm of your hand and friction your skin after your bath. Toilet water is especially nice to usé during the spring and summer. Usually its odors have a cooling quality. In cold weather the water and the perfume should be used together, the latter put on spar- ingly, as the final touch when one is togged up, looking glamorous, going places. JAMESGH Don't overlook sachets. * + @ Spray 'the lining of your coat. Put it on the hem of your formal when you go dancing. Be wise. Not too much, you understand. Per- fume is the accent, used like lip- stick and jewelry, never loaded on, but always there to be noticed and to attract. Be fussy when buying these de i- cate aromas. There are delightfil, old-fashioned flower scents that will make you think of a lovely garden. There are blends that, when you come in contact with them, make you take a Jong, deep breath. Don't overlook sachets. They are good buys, have lasting qualities. 'WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT :- Planning Golden Wedding Dinner? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: To celebrate this Fiftleth Wed- ding Anniversary there is to be an informal reception and dinner in a hall, given by the married sons and ughters. About one hundred , The hour, six-thirty. What is the proper music and procedure for the grand march? (2) What about the presentation of the gifts? (3) Please suggest the procedure of a simple, informal toast. ML.J. As the guests arrive, the Golden Wedding guests of honor greet them and welcome them to this import- ant occasion, As they receive the guests, the 'bride' should be at the right of the 'bridegroom,' whether they stand together, or find it more comfortable and convenient to sit. Just they two may receive the guests, or, if they wish, their daugh- ters and sons may receive with them. (However, the plan usually is for the daughters and sons to mingle with the guests to see that everyone is being taken care of and is happy and comfortable). When all the guests have been received, the Golden Wedding bride and bridegroom may march into the diningroom ... as, usually, "Here "Comes the Bride" is played. (2) Arriving guests present their gifts to the couple, but when there are so many guests to be greeted, the gifts are usually not opened un- til after the dinner . . this may as the after-dinner coffee is be- drunk, or after the dinner the couple may return to the place where they received and where the presents were grouped together as the guests arrived. The oldest daughter and the oldest son (or either) might be asked to stand by the couple, to help in the opening of the presents and to be sure that the cards are securely enclosed with the proper gifts after the opening. (3) Most important it should be decided who is to propose the first toast, the toast to the 'bride and brid * .. . happily the best man at the wedding, or some other" man who was an attendant or guest at the wedding; or the oldest son. When the champagne or other drinkable-for-the-toast has been poured at the table, the toast-pro- poser rises at once and proposes the toast. Perhaps something like this: "A rising toast, please . . . a most important and significant toast . . . to the beloved bride and groom of this Golden Wedding. A wonderful couple, a glorious occas- jon. Our devoted love to them . . our affectionate salutations and congratulations . , . and our pray- ers for their 'golden' happiness al- ways!" Bride's Parents pay all Reception H Expenses Mrs. Beeckman: My mother and I have been de- bating on who pays for the wedding dinner, the bride's parents or the m's parents. I tell my mother that the bride's parents pay for their guests, and the groom's par- ents pay for their guests. But Mo- ther insists that the bride's parents pay for all the wedding réception guests. Who is right? 1 MAC. Your mother is right , . , the bride's parents are hosts of the] wedding, and therefore it is they who pay all the. expenses of the g reception, "QUESTION FOR YOU. In today's world, 'in which kindliness and con- sideration-for-others are having a lead the grand | gry cious and attractive kind of Person who really wants to make life fair and comfortable for other people? Are kindly social amenities import- ant to you? Are you more interest- ed in "oiling" the way of life than in "vinegarizing" it? Do you try al- ways to remember to be tactful in deed, in word? Is it your natural and spontaneous and pleasant hab- it to say "Thank you" and "Please" and "I beg your pardon" and other graceful manners-words when you should say them? Are you more comfortable when you do and say things that make other people more comfortable? Are you happier when you do and say things that make other people happier? "THINK QI¢ THESE THINGS." "Homeward Borne' Is Serious Novel By Noted Actress By W. G. ROGERS New York -- (AP) -- "To write a novel," says Ruth Chatterton, "I need a theme that makes me an- " The stage and screen star hit on such a theme, or the theme hit her, a couple of years ago, and she did her first novel, "Homeward Borne," published by Simon and Schuster. How did she write it? At a type- writer, writing and rewriting. It isn't the only thing which, starting from scratch, she has learned by doing. For instance, she started from less than scratch to study French. As she explains it, her sole equipment was: 'I adored France." She also had a good ear. Out of that came, eventually, with the aid of a dictionary, the translations of three plays. But some things still foil her, among them, spelling . . "you should talk to my editor about my spelling," she says with a whoop of laughter. . A friend, overhearing an inter- viewer ask her about hobbies; jok- ingly suggested that one of hers was conversation. But she is not a chat- ter-chatter-Chatterton; she talks about her novel as professionally as if she had been at this-kind of work all her life, She is not the sort of person usu- ally interviewed by this arts re- porter, whose beat tends to be clut- tered with flat-heeled, stringy-hair- ed woman authors who chew pen- cils. Miss Chatterton has dark wavy hair, a quick smile and an air that belongs to the stage rather than the study. Yet her novel is not what might be expected from theatre people. Recent examples of troupers' books have been flighty pieces loaded for laughs. "Homeward Borne" is a serious, mature and worthwhile, and the idea of it will anger you as much as it angered the author. The idea came out of her war- time work for a free Palestine. The story concerns a Vermont woman who adopts an 11-year-old refugee. The child is believed to be a Jew, and the badgered woman runs into difficulties with her family, her friends, and the ill-used, wretched boy himself. Miss Chatterton in tended originally to make it a play. When she told the story to a novel- ist friend, he said there was too much for a play, and that it should be a novel, * "How do you write a novel?" she asked, and he answered: Just the way you told it. €0e has appeared in many plays, among them "The Rainbow," struggle to survive, are you the gra- "Daddy Long Legs," "The Little A Physician Advises You By HERMAN M. BUNDESEN, M.D. LIP CANCER Cancer may occur in practically any part of the human body. Those cancers which occur on the body surface are the least dangerous, simply for the reason that they can be seen. Unlike those which occur within the body, these cancérs call attention to themselves early. Once they are identified for what they are, they can be cured quite readily. One of these visible growths is cancer of the lip, which accounts for five per cent of all cancers, and seven out of 100 occurring in men between the ages of 55 and 75. This type of cancer seldom develops in those under 25, and is most fre- quent after 55. It is much more frequent in men than in women, men having 97 per cent of all lip cancers. Relation to Smoking Just why this is so is not known, but it may have some relation to smoking. For example, one-half of the people with cancer of the lip were found to be habitual smokers; and, of these habitual smokers, three out of four smoked pipes. It is possible that the continued pres- sure on the lip from the pipe may be a factor in causing lip cancer to develop. Repeated burning of the skin around the lips by the sun is also a possible contributing cause for lip cancer. Pain is not an early symptom of cancer of the lip. It starts as a small sore or ulcer, which gradually gets bigger and soon becomes quite noticeable. Its outstanding charac- teristic is its refusal to heal under ordinary forms of treatment. Any sore on the lip that does not heal within a week or two should be considered te be cancer until it is proved not to be. If the growth is neglected, it will spread to other tissues in the body. Lip Cancer The treatment for a lip cancer which is discovered early in rela- tively simple. X-ray treatments carried out over a period of about 10 days will get rid of the condi- tion in more than nine out of ten cases. If this early treatment is not given, surgery may be neces- sary, If there is any question as to whether or not a sore on the lip is due to cancer, a small bit of tis- sue can be cut away and examined, under the microscope so that a definite diagnosis may be made. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS D.M.C.: Is superfluous hair due to a glandular disturbance? Is there any way to remove it besides the electric needle? Answer: It is believed by many investigators that superfluous hair, in some cases, may be due to a glandular ' disorder. However, no method of removal of superfluous. hair seems to be satisfactory other than by the electric needle.

It means hard work lea. * LJ It is interesting to hear tell about the training that is given to the pretty starlets of Hollywood. Don't fancy that all were born with grace and splendid posture. They are put through the hopper and how! It is like going to a finishing school. They are taught to be charming. And don't fancy that they don't obey their teachers; they know that their futures depend upon atten- tion and obedience. Physical education is the most important part of their training. They go through exercises that correct figure faults and that limber their bodies. Daily exercise for long periods is continuel for at least six months. By that time bodily grace is instinctive with they . The skinnies are filled out, plumpies are slivered down, Perfect Posture When perfect posture is attained they walk lightly with perfect bal- ance and beautiful movements. They are taught how to sink into a chair, how to get up--tricks thot the average girl doesn't know and never thinks about. The idea is to have fluid grace all the time, The pretty ones must forget about their hands. If they are conscious of them they may assume unlovely poses. Hands exercises consists of touching the shoulders with the tips of the fingers, letting the fing- ers fall forward lightly, the palm downward, then lifting them again to the shoulders.

BEAUTY PARADE The Miss America beauty contest was originated at Atlantic City, NJ, in 1920, | Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood -- (AP) -- Lawrence Tierney, onetime stormy figure of Hollywood night life, appears head- ed for another chance at a film career. The actor, who had a knack for making headlines a couple of veirs back, is making a film return in "Shakedown." He. says Universal- International] has an option for a term contract after the picturesand "it looks as though they will pick it up... Tierney, who starred in "Dillin- ger" and a number of night club hassles, left RKO two years ago. Since then he has made a picture in Portugal and done some theatre work in the East. He is portraying a gangster in the new film, but he doesn't appear concerned about be- ing typed. "Many stars have made a mint by being typed,.. he said. Around the Set Shelley Winters reports a fan objected to stories that she was dieting. "Men like to dream abou: pretty girls," she said. "Do you think they dream about skinny ones?" Lucille Ball has been helping along the TB X-ray drive. When she had her chest X-rayed for a publicity photo in La Jolla, Pneu- monia spots were discovered on her lung. She went right across the street and stayed in a hospital for a week. Allan Ladd is holding to his edict against beefcake (male cheege- cake). Part of the plot of "Brand- ed" concerns an identifying mark on his shoulder. He insists that only one shoulder be bared in the film, not his whole chest. Capsule Review "A Ticket to Tomahawk" has a delightful time spoofing the horse opera. Everything is there--the gun-toting gal, the travelling sales- man, the outlaws, the Indian at- tacks and the 'train that must get through. All of this is played with tongue in cheek and it adds up to a lot of fun.

Salada Tea Bags are handy for afternoon tea SALADA TEA BAGS Gay British Socks Make Hit Overseas By MURIEL NARROWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer London,--(CP)--A new line in British socks is making a hit in export markets. They are decorated with birds, flowers, coats-of-arms and family crests. There are tartan socks, angler's socks with fish designs, socks with school crests and any other pattern requested. Price is high--£4 10s. ($13.95) --but they are selling like hot-cakes. The socks are plain at foot and top with intermediate panel of patterns as the Scottish thistle, Forty-two-year-old John Carr Doughty is the man behind this idea. He invented attachments to hand-driven knitting machines to carry any pattern desired. Girls are taught to operate the machines and then work in their own homes. Mostly they are women with children who can't work in factories. They make around £1 ($3.10) a day. Doughty now is employing more than 2,000 women but says: "A year ago I employed only a few hands making specialized knit- wear such as mittens for R.A.F. rear gunners--nothing for export. Home trade slackened. I decided to try the United States market." Doughty took a long trip up the Amazon river photographing birds, flowers and butterflies to be in- corporated in his sock designs a their exact colors, His plan was successful. The first sample socks to 'reach New York met with instant success and orders poured in for a wide variety of patterns. "One Chicago department store ordered some with the firm's trade mark on and gave them to all their male shop assistants to wear on duty." said Doughty.
