MONDAY, MAY 1, 1950 THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE In Jhe Home BEAUTY FOR YOU For the Senior Good Looks Class By HELEN JAMESON Considering the "ancients-and- honorables" who belie their birth- days -- looking as young as their daughters and often twice as chip- per and interesting -- it would seem that the years just don't matter any more. Grandmothers today are sit- ting pretty. They are on their toes and they thank heaven that they weren't born in their own grand- mother's' time when every woman past thirty was supposed to wear a bonnet -- hats being only for the young and beautiful. What a dull world that must have been! The wise woman knows that one can offset the marks of age by per- fect grooming and fastidious atten- tion to the details of dress and ap- pearance. Young women can carry the scrambled hair-do and not look slovenly, but let a single, tiny strand of grey hair get out of place and the picture is ruined. 'When tiny lines have appeared, white locks are a blessing, forming a silver frame, and one should be grateful for them. They must be treated tenderly, be shampooed with the utmost care, arranged in a pat- tern that is at once becoming and dignified. If the old girl is tiny, has kept her slender figure, she can flaunt a short hair cut as well as the rest of them, but it should be neatly tail- ored, perfectly trimmed and waved. I like to see an elderly woman with a touch of rouge on her cheeks, and her lips delicately tinted. A little artifice lops off the years. But when she lays on the batik with a lavish hand, what happens? "The older face, wisely lined" looks deeply furrowed because brilliant make-up gives accent to com- plexion defects. If she didn't try to look so young, she would not look so old. Present day fashions are a help to the fifty-six girls. There is no marked line between their' attire and the attire of their daughters. Their skirts might be a bit longer, since few of the oldsters have been lucky enough to retain graceful leg contours. They can wear the same style shoes. Cute hats are theirs for the buying. The professional manicure, the Present day fashions are a help to » older women. * +» wave set, an occasional facial, to- gether with a fifteen-minute beau- tifying ritual at bedtime, and grand- ma is all set to step into the beauty parade and march with the rest of them. Inasmuch as many of the older generation seem to have more stamina and endurance than the young fry; it is likely that the white- headed marchers will outmarch the others. They've been at the beauti- fying game longer, should know all the rules. And, have you noticed how the older voice has grown mellow and full of soft cadences? The years have brought serenity and toler- ance, that's why. TIPS FOR TEENS :- Questions and the Answers By ELINOR WILLIAMS "Dear Miss Williams: I am 15% years old and I would like to have 'one of your leaflets on parties at your convenience. Also, I have a question. "I have a girl friend who works in a theatre as an usherette. When I want to take her out she doesn't want to go to the show, naturally. There is not a dance very often here and our home is not completed. I think that I should take her out at least once a week. Have you any suggestions as to what we can do? Thank you." Ans.--Why not suggest bowling occasionally, sometimes with anoth- er couple? A walk and a soda are fun for a nice evening or a picnic with several other boys and girls at a favorite spot in or near your town. How about a record session, danc- ing or games at the home of other friends . . . a community dance, band concert or visit at the local teen centre , . . and an evening at her home too? Some high schoolers are also having fun learning to play bridge. "Dear Elinor: What can you do for clammy hands? When I'm on a date my hands become cold and moist. I know it is a very un- pleasant feeling. It is caused by nerves, I think, but how can I over- come that or what can I do about it? Many friends have the same trouble. "I have consulted you before and consider your opinion very help- ful." Ans.--Some girls find that it helps to rub talcum powder on the palms of their hands before a date; others say that a liquid anti-pers- pirant sometimes helps to check this moisture. Usually, however, nothing really helps except relax- ing. Try to feel at ease by being natural and giving all your atten- tion to your date; this makes you forget yourself, lessens self-con- sciousness and nerve-tension. Schoolboy Designs Child-Size Dresses London--(CP)--Leslie Gordon, a London schoolboy, spends his leisure designing, cutting and sewing child- size women's evening dresses. Leslie's dresses aré so well de- signed and finished they have im- pressed some of London's wholesale fashion houses. They occasionally give him odd bits of material, Most of Leslie's pocket money goes on mategials and trimmings that he wants for special effects. His workshop is a corner of his father's tailoring shop and here on tiny dummies he sews, sequins and embroiders. "I've always loved the beautiful dresses in the shops," says Leslie, "and I wanted to try to make some. My brother taught me to sew and I made my drawings but I did not have any materials. "So I went to a wholesale house and asked for any bits they had left over. They laughed at me at first, but now they are always very interested to see my finished models. "At school my headmaster has helped to get my admission to a technical school where I shall study Yress designing and the practical side."

SATURDAYS ot Masonic Temple, Centre St. Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood-- (AP) -- Aldophe Men- jou, whose dapper moustache and fancy garb have been familiar on 'the screen since 1912, bemoans the lack of glamor boys in films today. "Women now seem to prefer the rough he-man type like Bert Lan- caster and Paul Douglas," said the movie veteran. "About the only gla- mor boy left is Errol Flynn, "But, of course, this kind of thing runs in cycles. In a few years there may be a return to the Valentino type." While male stars are no longer of the glamor type, he said, the women gre. In fact, he believes the young actresses are so over-glamor- ized that they seem to be turned out with factory precision. "They all look alike to me," he remarked. "The established stars like Barbara Stanwyck, Claudette Colbert and others are individual- istic, but it's hard to recognize the new ones." Menjou is now performing in his 210th picture, "To Please a Lady." He is generally considered the suave man of the world in films, but he doesn't think of himself in that type. "I have done a lof of other roles, too," he said. "I don't know how that impression of me got started. Now I'm stuck with it." Wendell Corey is mad at Macdon- ald Carey. Nothing personal, mind you, In fact, they're good friends, but Corey is always getting confus- ed with Carey. Some time ago a magazine ran a picture of Corey. Under the photo was the caption "Macdonald Carey." Then a local reviewer praised Corey's job in "South Sea Sinner," which happened to star Carey. Just last week a columnist ran an inter- view with Corey, calling him Mac- donald Carey. Now Corey and Carey are going to star in a western together and Wendell expects utter chaos. Mmm, some night I'd like to have Corey and Carey over for shrimp curry. Maybe they could bring Song Eve Curie and Harry Carey, T. Fashion Duo Coolest Sunsemble yet! And the newest, Jr. Miss!

OF INTEREST TO WO GLAMORIZING :- Try to Avoid a Double Chin By HELEN FOLLETT Eis Don't see double when it comes to your chin line, lady. Take care! One good help in holding L J VARIOUS things besides a too- rich diet and a tendency to ac- cumulate weight can be responsible for the appearance of an extra chin, for which no woman alive has any use whatsoever and which she hates with a deadly emotion. Chief amongy| these is the habit of sleeping on a high pillow. Keeping the head lowered when reading or sewing is a mistake. These habits mean that the muscles that extend along the jaw line and down over the throat lose tone. On unused muscles fat cells take lodgings. Once there, they multiply. Local treatment will mold two chins into one, divorce $hem com- pletely. This presto-change act is being performed in beauty shops throughout the land. Heavy Cream Spread a heavy cream over a clean skin surface. Stroke from chin tip to ear lobes. Rub up and down on the throat. Pick up the under- slung tissues, roll them between thumb and first finger; this move- " * that line is a chin strap. +» ment will dissolve the fat cells. Have an ice rub, and apply an astringent to take up the slack. A chin strap will help, too. Certain exercises will hasten this remodelling prqjéct. Tense the neck muscles, move ithe head backward against the e resistance as far as possible; ond movement, send the head forward until the chin touches the chest. Repeat. Tensing the muscles, move the head to the right as far as you can, then lower your chin to touch your shoulder. Send the head to the left, touch the left shoulder and repeat. These movements should be done slowly with plenty of muscle. pull. Lie flat on the floor, face down- ward, arms #t e sides. Lift your head, send it as far back as you can. Then turn it from side to side. But don't forget the creaming and pinching of the flesh. Devote five minutes to that good looks task and the extra chin will gradually do a disappearing act.

MEN -~ A Physician Advises You By HERMAN M. BUNDESEN, M.D. INFLAMMATION OF JOINTS FOR some years, doctors have believed that many cases of rheu- matoid arthritis or inflammation of the joints were associated with in- fection of one type or another. Recent work with the new germ- killer, aureor-ycin, tends to bear this out. Patients selected for treat- ment not only had rheumatoid arthritis but also an infection of the prostate gland with what are known as pleuropneutonia-like organisms. All of them had been previously treated with gold-salts, without noteworthy results, one of the standard remedies against rheuma- todi arthritis, When aureomycin was given, the germ disappeared and, at the same time, there was im- provement in the arthritis, in 17 out of 25 cases. In all patients who were not helped by the treatment, it was later found that the aureomy- cin in the blood stream was too low in amount to be effective. Treatment Started Immediately after treatment was started, music and joint symptoms in some patients beca 'e worse and their fever rose.. But, after one to four weeks, improvement came and was continued. It was found that the germs disappeared before the symptoms of the rheumatoid arth- ritis cleared up. These same types of germs were also found in some persons suffer- ing from a disorder known as erythema nodosum, and in some cases of rheumatic fever. Some also had an infection of the urethra, the passage through which the urine empties out of the bladder. Of four persons with this con- dition, two also had pains in the muscles and joints. In these cases all symptoms were relieved in two days by the aureomycin, given each day. Careful Search It would seem important in cases of rheumatoid arthritis to make a careful search for infection not only in the urinary tract but also in other rarts ._ the body, such as the teeth, tonsils, and sinuses, and then have proper treatment carried out to overcome it, It is possible that in many cases aureomycin treatment may serve to clear up the infection. In other cases, perhaps one #f the other an- tibiotic preparations, such as peni- cillin, might be found helpful. In any event, the elimination of any such infection should bring im- provement in the general health, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS N.F.: Some days my face looks pasty and my skin is dry. Is this due to something I lack in my diet? Answer: Whether or not your trouble is due to a dietary deficiency cannot be determined without an examination. A deficiency of iron in the diet and a lack of vitamins might be responsible for your symptoms. On | the other hand,: the trouble could come from anemia or a deficiency of coloring in the blood due to other causes, such as fatigue. In Jhe Community The taste's the test for tea! Canadians buy more Salada than any other brand. "SALADA TEA Dear Mrs. Beeckman: When my wife sends out greeting cards to her friends whom I don't know she signs only her own name. I told her that she should sign my name also , . . Judy and John. But she says this isn't correct . . . that she knows all about etiquette. Will you please tell me the correct an- swer to this question? JOHN W, You are absolutely right in say- ing that your wife should sign greeting cards with your name as well as hers . . . even though you do not know the friends to whom she is sending the cards. But when she signs the names it is courteous for her to sign her name last . ... John and Judy. Or if, perchance, this needs more identification . , . as it 'may, since you don't know the friends , . . she writes John and Judy Wilson. Or perhaps in some cases it may be necessary for her to include her maiden surname: John | Wilson and Judy Clark Wilson. Engaged Girl Should Write Thank- You Notes After the Shower Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Will you please answer a question that has caused much discussion in our office? Is it really necessary for a girl to write a thank-you note for each gift she receives at a bridal shower given in her honor? CORINNE M. Yes, it is. That is, it is necessary if she wishes to show her kind and genercus friends that she is a girl who really appreciates their kind- ness and generosity. Each gift rep- resents a thoughtful plan for her happiness, some expense and, per- haps, some careful budgeting. And although she takes a minute or two at the shower to express her appre- ciation, it is natural for the giver to pe delighted to have a further re- assurance that the gift really pleas- ed the bride-to-be, really was ap- preciated. Also, in her notes written a day or so after the shower, the girl will have a grand opportunity to comment enthusiastically about special features of the gift, and . . and this will certainly make a hit with the giver! Bridesmaids' Dresses in the | New Length? i Dear- Mrs. Beeckman: Is it considered correct this sea- perhaps of its use in her new home | WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT :- Signature on Greeting Cards? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN son for the bridesmaids at a formal afternoon wedding to wear dresses in the new mid-calf length? I think they are very attractive .. and I would like to plan to have these at my June Wedding! JOAN H. Yes . . . bridesmaids' dresses in mid-calf length are considered cor- rect. They are very popular this spring , . . and I agree with you that they can be very attractive, if the design of the dresses is suitable for this length, and if this length of dress is becoming to the honor at- tendant and to the majority of the bridesmaids. To Be Married in Church After the Morning Service Dear Mrs, Beeckman: 1.'If my daughter should carry out a plan to, be married in our church immediately following the church service on Sunday morning, where should the two families sit? 2. To this very informal wedding, are notes of invitation proper? If so, does the bride-to-be or I, her mother, write these notes, particu- larly the ones to the bridegroom's relatives? And may the guests who live in town be invited by telephone? 3. Who buys the bride's corsage? J. S. N. 1. You and your daughter. should consult with the minister about the details of this procedure, for he is the one to direct you in the cus- tomary and convenient manner of this service. Probably, if the con- gregation leave the church after the service, the families would sit as they usually do . . . the bride's family in the first pew on the left of the aisle, the bridegroom's fam- ily in the first pew on f¥® right of the aisle. 2. To this informal wedding, yes, the in-town guests may be invited by telephone. And you, the bride's mother, as hostess of the wedding, should write the notes of invitation. 3. The bridegroom buys the core sage for his bride.
