8 TUESDAY, JUNE 6, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETT In The dome BEAUTY FOR YOU Long May the Permanent Wave! By HELEN JAMESON If the permanent were permanent what a lot of time and money we would save! If yours hangs on for six months you are lucky. Most women, especially those with short, thin, silky hair, go through the curly-cue session three times a year. Well, it's good for business. And anything is better than have ing stringy sprouts above your brow. The season approaches when the counterfeit wave is especially ap- preciated. It helps one to get through the heat of the summer, makes the swimming season more enoyable. If you would have a nice, soft, fluid wave, one that endures--and who wouldn't? -- you should have professional reconditioning treéat- ments, or give yourself some hot- oil scalp baths. Lubrication relaxes the silky shafts, does away with ex- cessive dryness that sometimes comes from too frequent perma- ents. One oil treatment a week for four weeks will be of benefit. It is time to start if you would be a curly summer girl. Begin with a prolonged brushing. Your brush should be narrow, with fairly stiff bristles set in groups so it can be kept scrupulously clean. You should have a narrow comb, with coarse teeth, and fine ones, Two brushes and two combs are not an extragavance; with two you will never have to use a soiled one. Take a small strand of hair; hold it away from the head and brush with a rolling motion. Throw the head forward and brush from nape to crown. Part from ear to ear and brush the front portion forward. Make partings at various places nd apply hot mineral oil along M@he partings, using a large medicine dropper for the purpose. When the entire scalp has been treated, spread out fingers and thumbs and give your scalp a brisk mauling, lifting and pinching the flesh to loosen it from the scalp and stimu- late the circulatory streams. Two brushes and two combs are not an extravagance * Pe If you have a shoulder-length cut, oil the ends of your hair. Next morning have a rousing shampoo. Begin with a hot spraying to re- move the oil, If you use a liquid soap -- and there are many excellent ones ob- tainable -- dilute 'it one half with warm water. You will need two applications, each one followed by a prolonged rinsing. The bath spray does a better .ob than the shower, because you can hold it close 'to your scalp. If the hair is short, a single application of a cream shampoo is all that is necessary. But don't tint on the rinsing. Sandals and Open-Work Shoes Call for 'Peony Petal' Toe Nails Belles on their toes know the im- portance of keeping their pedal ex- tremities comfortable and well- groomed. They know, too, that even minor foot discomforts soon put rinkles in a girl's face and add ears to her age. Of course, if there is something really wrong with your feet, you should go to a doctor and get help in restoring them to health. But if it's a matter of making your feet attractive-looking or, at least, presentable -- then there's a great deal you can do. Chen Yu suggests this simple treatment to refresh your feet af- ter an active day of standing or walking: Soak your feet in a basin of very warm soapy water for ten to 15 minutes, Then, plunge them into ice cold water. Dry well and massage with ribbing alcohol. Lie down with the legs elevated on pil- lows and relax for iff"een minutes or 50. Now you are ready for a pedicure. The procedure is much the same followed for a manicure except at it is easier -- you have both Bright and Easy ee Bros Just 5-to-the-inch! That's really simple cross-stitch.

Trim your toenails straight across, leaving the nails long enough to protect the end of the toe from pressure and irritation. With an emery board, smooth the rough edges. Using a cotton-tipped stick, apply cuticle remover around your nails and under the free edge to soften and remove dead cuticle. Starting on the little toe of the right foot, gently push back the cuticle. Take a stiff nail brush and scrub the nails briskly with mild | soap and warm water, Rinse and | dry Now, dip the cotton-wrapped stick in peroxide and clean and bleach under each nail. Dry the toes thoroughly, working the towel be- tween the toes. Place tufts of cot- ton between the toes to hold them apart and protect lacquer until it dries. Brush a thin, even under- coat over all ten nails and let it dry thoroughly. Very quickly and, with not too full a brush, flow on the nail lacquers -- perhaps one of the new vibrant reds. Allow the lacquer to dry thor- oughly. Then flow on at least one more coat, avoiding any unneces- sary brush strokes. When the lac- quer has set, top it off with a top- coat over the entire nail surface as well as under the tips to seal the lacquer and protect the =ail tip. | Finish by massaging your feet and | legs, working with an upward mo- | tion over the feet, legs and ankles. | PAGE SEVEN ~ OF INTEREST A Physician Advises You By HERMAN M. BUNDESEN, M.D. SKIN RASH SKIN rashes are no exception to the general rule that self-treatment is likely to do more harm than good. It is necessary to emphasize this fact because the average per- son is so prone to try home reme- dies in 'cases of this kind, with the result that, by the time he sees the doctor, his skin is badly inflamed and often difficult to heal. Physicians know that in dealing with a skin rash there is a time to soothe and 'a tigie to stimulate. When there are blisters, oozing, scaling, or crusting, a soothing pre- paration should be used. Where the rash has been present for a long time, it should first be soothed, then stimulated in order tb pro- mote healing. By soothing preparations are meant wet dressings or compresses, or even baths. Greasy or oily pre- parations are also helpful. The acidity of the skin should not be lowered: by, using soaps. If there is itching or burning, a solution of potassium permanganate or boric acid, or one known as Burow's may be used. If wet dressings are em- ployed, they should be followed by a greasy preparation. Boric acid ointment seems soothing and use- ful in many instances. When stimulating preparations are needed, very small quantities of the drugs are required, Such things as tar, sulphur, and salicy- lic acid in small amounts, as pre- scribed by the doctor in the form of ointments, are sufficient to pro- duce the stimulation necessary for healing. The physician, in cases of skin rash, will have to determine whe- ther the rash is a result of infec- tion with germs or with parasites. Of course, the exact treatment will depend upon the type of germ or parasite producing the disorder, Recently, in those cases of skin rash due to allergy or oversensifi- vity, the antihistamine preparations have been found of great value, not only when taken . internally but when applied directly to the region in the form of an ointment.

LEARNED HER LESSON "Isn't it funny how things you learned at school suddenly come back? My washings always had a yellow tinge and then I remem- bered our chemistry teacher telling us that seven colours combine to make white, and one of them is blue. That'is why there is no true white without blue. So of course, I use Reckitt's Blue now to keep my clothes white always--just a swish or two in the final rinse. Out of the blue comes the whitest wash." 4 A6-R | Hollywood Highlights By BOB. THOMAS Hollywood--(AP)--The of Oscar de Mejo in the art world gets more fantastic the more you learn about it. De Mejo (pronounced May-Ho), who is the husband of a Tress Vallei, has sold 65 canvases within the last year, no small achieve- ment for any artist, but it is more remarkable when you learn that: 1. He has been painting for only a year; 2. He has never had an art les- son; 3. He says that a ghost told him to take up painting. Let de Mejo explain it in his own words: "When Alida (his wife) and I came 'here from Italy, I didn't ex- actly know what to do. I started a band with Tony Romano and we had luck for a while, but we fold- ed in Phoenix . . . Ghost Artist "I "have always been interested in spiritnalism and one night I was invited to a seance. We heard a tapping and it turned out to be sémeone as for me. It was a boy who had died in New Orleans in 1912 at the age of 14. He had taken up art before he died and wanted me to carry on his work. I said I would." De Mejo bought a set of paints and started in. Working six to eight hours a day, he turned out a canvas almost daily. Unschooled in art, he developed his own "primi- tive" style. Friends admired de Mejo's bright and expressive scenes and urged him to market them. So he hauled some of them down to a Los An- geles department store and made an immediate sale. Successful shows in Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York fol- lowed. ; The young Italian is still some- what dazzled by his success. "Any- body can do it," he says. "All you have to do is get a set of paints and start in. I think it's better to do without lessons. Then you can develop your own style." * + & Capsule Review "The Glass Menagerie" (W.

By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN | Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 1. I am invited to a church wed- ding and reception. On the card for the reception is the note "Kind- ly respond." How should this re- sponse be written? And how long before the wedding should it be sent? : 2. How long before the wedding date should I send the present to the bride-to-be?--D. » 1. Your acceptance response should be written on the first page of double-sheet - letter-paper or note- paper, your personal paper or plain white, with the lines spaced ecare- fully, similar to the invitation. Worded like this: Miss Dorothy Guest accepts with pleasure the kind invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson For Thursday, the eighth of June (Mail this reply at once ... the earlier, the better.) 2. And send your wedding present to the bride-to-be as soon as you conveniently can. A bride-to-be particularly welcomes presents sent early, for then she has time to en- joy them more leisurely, and also it gives her the important oppor- tunity to write her thank-you note well before the wedding date. Wedding Announcements Often Omitted Nowadays Dear Mrs. Beeckman: We are having a large formal church wedding, followed by a rath- er small reception in our house. I had taken it for granted that, be- sides sending our invitations to the church wedding, we should also plan to send a certain number of announcements, to those I thought we didn't know well enough to in- vite to the wedding. But my aunt (who always seems to know the answers to such etiquette questions, and her answers seem always to be right!) tells me that nowadays it is not very customary to send an- nouncements . . , that "everyone" is invited to the church ceremony, if, as in our case, the church is a large church. Is this true, Mrs. Beeckman ?--Margaret N, Yes, vour aunt is right about this . . « today it is customary to invite the entire list of relatives, friends, even acquaintances to the large church wedding, and to omit an- nouncements. That is, instead of the three lists that used to be made . . the church list, the reception list, and the announcement list . . . today there are usually only two lists, the church list and the recep- tion list. However, it is, of course, correct to send out formal marriage announcements if you wish to . . . but remember that announcements "| are never sent to anyone who is in- vited to the wedding, either cere- mony or reception. Wedding Announcements Must Not Be Mailed Before Ceremony Is Performed Dear Mrs. Beeckman: We are inviting only the mem- bers of our immediate families and a very few intimdte friends to our wedding which is to take place in my home. But we are planning to send out between three and four hundred formal wedding announce- ments. Wguld it be permissible to mail these announcements several days before the wedding, to inform our other relatives and friends that the wedding is to take place? Roma N. No, no, no , . . this would defin- itely not be correct. A marriage announcement announces that the ceremony has been performed . . . and thereforegobviously, must not be mailed unt after the ceremony has been performed. : tg Give Careful Thought To The Tie You Buy For Father's Day The little woman doesn't need to stick her neck out when she buys that tie for Father's Day this year. For a few simple pointers will solve her "tie tizzy" and keep Fathér happy. Women buy 85 per cent of the. ties sold throughout the year, but at Father's Day, the figure hovers close to 100 per cent. As a tie is usually the only spot of color in a male ensemble, it is one of the most noticeable and fash- ion important articles a man wears, It can make or break a new outfit, or brighten up an old. A haberdasher's tie tips to the woman tie shopper are basically the ones she uses in guiding her pur- chases of her own fashion items. First, be sure to pick colors that will point up his suits -- greens and clear reds and yellow tones with brown shades, some of the higher pastels for dark suits. Second, relate the pattern in the tie to the pattern in his suits. Planned bold patterns go better that geometric designs with pro- nounced suit patterns. Panel de- signs are especially good with any type of suit pattern. Dark double breasted suits, or suits worn with a vest call for bold patterns to highlight them. ' e sure to get him the right tie length. Ties run from 47 to 54 inches long. If he'is tall or wears a large neck size, get him a tie that is long enough. If he wears single breasted suits without the vest and as most men do, he will look best in a longer tie that will carry the color and pattern straight down his shirt front, Last, as a final check point te women tie buyers, the Foundation suggests that she match tie colors to his complexion tones and hair coloring. Good clear sharp colors will lighten a dark complexion; muted colors and designs will tone down the coloring of a light com- plexioned red head. Grays and blues with a lot of white in the design will highlight blue eyes, and the new bright browns in cinnamon and luggage shades will emphasize brown eyes. Story designs have a special ap- peal to women shoppers. She can wish him luck, remember his hobby, ask to borrow a book or even play canasta in these new "story" designs. So if his only tie with the fashion parade is the one around his neck, it's a woman's business to see it's the right one.
