Many of them belie their ages by ten or even fifteen years. When they recall their grandmothers, they visualize them with straight, severely arranged hair, black dresses, figures lost and a sit-by-the-fire attitude. Just waiting to die, some of them. They had no interests outside the home. And grandfather was the boss of the roost. Nowadays our ancient-and-hon- orables refuse to wear the marks of the years in face, figure or clothes. Many of them are holding impor- tant executive jobs. Those who have wealth and could enjoy leisure lead exceedingly active lives, giving their time to various charitable projects. It keeps them young. They belong to the times. They have a' useful place in the world. The smart Grannie of 1950 has lived long enough to respect the laws of health, realizes how impor- tant they are. She knows that brisk step, bright eyes and good confplex- ion depend upon proper nourish ment and normal circulation. She refuses to be a shut-in, gets out of doors every day, joins the sun wor- shippers--of which there are mil- lions, She is a diligent wrinkle-fighter. As the birthdays bank up the skin dries out, and underlying tissues are likely to go into a decline. To avoid such a deplorable state of affairs, she anoints her face every night of her life with a heavy emollient, tap- ping and patting it in, If the wrin- | s kiles win out and she finds she can't erase them, she tells herself that they are "character lines." Her hair is her big problem. No matter what she does it is bound to get thinner as she gets older. Though she must economize in various ways, she never tries to save money as far as her silver halo is concerned. She has her permanent wave regularly, two or three times a year. She may choose short locks or an uppity hairdo, but, no matter what the arrangement, it must be betwixt-and-between, that the most important article of dress is the foundation garment. It isn't often that the youthful shape continues throughout life. weaken because of less exercise; there's that little shelf below the belt. It must be confined with a properly fitted corset. As the figure changes in outline, so must the cor- set conform, hence the need of new fittings every few years, Sy Nowadays older women refuse to wear the marks of years * % » as neat as a pin.

The equivalent of an expensive salon vapor treatment can come from creaming your face before you begin cooking.

Don't just stoop over to dust table legs, or to sweep up dust. Take knee-deep bends, keeping your back straight. This is excellent for trimming hips and thighs. To whittle waistline and mid- rif muscles, make use of those picking-up and bed-making tasks. When you reach for scattered mag- azines, stand with your feet apart and legs straight. Swing down at the left foot with the right hand as \ am you pick up, then reverse hands. Bed-making really pays off in trim waistline if you stand at the center of one side of the bed and swing your body from the waist- line, keeping feet straight and eaching out for sheets and blankets, When you dust. high objects or wash windows, don't use a step- ladder.

The procedure, recommended because talc is usually handy and using it is simple, is to sprinkle tie powder from its shaker and then brush it out. But let's have no half-hearted measures of brushing, please, or you'll come up looking as gray as though you wore a pow- dered wig. To put yyour scalp in the pink after a dusting with tale, rub lightly with cotton dipped in your favorite cologne. This dampening of your head to clean up the debris will not be an invitation to more sniffles, because the alcohol in your cologne will dry quicker than you can sneeze. ------ ------ TO WOMEN TEREST SS ---------- Hollywood : Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood --(AP)-- On this day in 1933 a hardy group of players .| opened an aged melodrama called "The Drunkard" at a neighbor- hood theatre in Los Angeles. : "The Drunkard" was an old preachment against gin whic haa been presented by P. T. Barnum. It was resurrected and played strictly for laughs before a beer- guzzling and sandwich-munching audience. The actors expected to get two months' work out of it. But audiences still are hissing and cheering. The show has bro- ken all the long-run records in the '| history of the American theatre. Some Fun! One of the show's veterans is Jan Duggan, who almost every night for 17 years has played the heroine's mother in the play and the "Bowery Nightingale" in the after-show. You may' remember her in W, C. Fields pictures. "It's fun," she says. "You can't take it seriously. The audience is the toughest in the world; some- times you thave to shout to be heard. But it's a challange to make them quiet down and listen." All In The Act Part of the show's success seems to be that-the players enjoy them- selves as much as the audience. This spirit goes on backstage as well. The actors carry on a revolv- ing bridge game during the per- formance, each participant leav- ing when he hears his cue over the loud-speaker. He is replaced by someone who is not due onstage. Says Miss Duggan: "A real actor would go crazy doing the same thing every night for 17 years, but for an old ham like myself, it's heaven." Fashion Flashes A NICE alternative to the Sum- mer straw handbag is silk shantung. Natural silk shantung for a box bag with twin self-cord handles extend- ing down the sides 'and the base of the bag which closes with a neat little gold turn lock in the lid. LE JE J A BOON to the traveler is a re- versible beret, one side of navy faille ribbon, the other in bright red--both sides embroidered with a little heart emblem in gold thread. Beret is sectioned to make for easy folding, +P A HINT of fur-fashions-to-come appeared in a recent fur fashion show at a society ball and enter- tainment. One spectacular fashion was a wide spiral stole that almost enveloped the model. Lined with black velvet, it was worn with black velvet gloves a bow muff to which was pinned a big cluster of violets and deep red roses. I AEE. SEEN AROUND TOWN is the narrow black fox stole, often car- ried like a piece of twisted rope, and used to set off filmy white dresses. We saw one carried with a white linen evening suit.

Nice with navy or black or brown, Tiny and Easy GLAMORIZING :- ' White Hair Needs Beauty Care By HELEN FOLLETT This coiffure, suitable for the white-haired matron, is one of several suggested by Edyth Thornton McLeod in her new book "Beauty After 40." * + * WHITE hair is not a good looks liability, as some grey-tops fancy. It forms a silver frame that is often flattering to the complexion. It re- quires. the most fastidious atten- tions in the way of shampooing and brushing. It must be arranged in the neatest possible way, have dig- nity and charm. A few stray wisps and the poor dear will have a blowsy appearance. Blowsiness never won any good looks laurels. A medium short cut can be ar- ranged to look as if the hair were long. Clever hair stylists know how to turn the trick. The hair is swept upward at the front, carry- ing two wide undulations. At the back it is drawn crosswise, ribbon fashion, with several wide undu- lations. Many of the older sisters feel that ringleted ends are a bit too cute, not dignified. There are many other modes that are flat- tering. Edyth Thornton McLeod's new book, "Beauty After Forty" contains several good hairstyle sug- gestions" suitable for the matron. Liquid shampoos are especially recommended for the renovating of silvered locks. Give the hair a rousing brushing to remove sur- face dust. Hold your head over the bath tub, rinse your hair well, Pour on a little shampoo, rubbing crosswise at the temples, up and down at the nape line, back and forth on the crown of your head. Keep adding warm water all the time, Don't hurry with the rinsing. Apply more shampoo and rinse again. One application may do the business, but two are safer. The hair must be so clean that every hair is away from its neighbors after the combing. The bluing rinse seems to be as popular as ever. Sometimes it is becoming, sometimes not. If the complexion is fair and youthful, it adds chic, but if the skin sallow it may have a deplorable effect, giving it a green cast. Do you sneer at that idea? You needn't. There are many beauti- clans who protest against the bluing touch if the complexion does not qualify. TIPS FOR TEENS :- What's What in Etiquette? ELINOR WILLIAMS 13 PAGE SEVEN Co. In The A Physician Advises You By HERMAN M. BUNDESEN, M.D. LUNG TUBERCULOSIS " A NUMBER of new drugs have been tried out in the treatment of lung tuberculosis in the last several years. One of these is called para-aminosalicylic acid, and it evidently has some benefit in many cases. . This drug has no toxic or poi- soning effect when properly util- ized, and the tuberculosis germs do not develop resistance to it. It is stated that when treatment of tu- berculosis with streptomycin has failed, the para-aminosalicylic acid, known as PAS, may be given with good effect in about half of the cases, Infection of Lungs Acute tuberculosis infection of the lungs with cavity formation is more likely to be benefitted by the PAS than a long-continued infec- tion, in which a great deal of scar tissue has formed. However, even in the latter type of cases, the PAS is effective in certain instances. During the first few days of treatment with this preparation, sickness at the stomach is com- monly present," and it may be neces- sary to reduce the dose for the time being, This nausea may also be reduced by coating the tablets with a substance which does not permit the preparation to dissolve in the stomach but lower down in the bowel. The treatment is continued over a period of four months or longer. If, after this time, there is some flare-up of the infection, a second course of treatment may be utilized. Slight Improvement Of the number of patients treat- éd by Dr. Henry C. Sweany and his co-workers, more than half had some slight improvement, and in many the improvement was exten- sive. The benefits obtained compar- ed favorably with those produced by streptomycin, The coughing, ex- pectoration, and fever all became less. Since this preparation causes no permanent toxic or poisoning effect, the drug may be given with safety over a long period of time. It can be utilized together with the strep- tomycin treatment. It also has been noted that when the two preparations are given to- gether, the PAS seems to delay the development - of resistance of the germs to the streptomycin. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS R. V.: I wake up in the night wet with perspiration, What is the cause? Answer: There are many causes of night sweats. The most com- mon one, of course, is sleeping with too many covers.

Widow Asks About Mourning Clothes Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Please, I would like your advice on mourning clothes. My husband died several weeks ago, and I've been wearing a black dress, a black veiled hat, and black accessories. I haven't a black coat, so I've been wearing a dark-blue one. These things I wear to ciurch and down- town. But for every day around the house I do not have a black dress. Is that necessary? From the bottom of my heart I want to pay respect to my husband and his memory. So please give me a few pointers about this dress, how long I should wear mourning, and any other pointers. right? Socially, gift . . . gift, Today there are no strict rules about the wearing of mourning. Mourning is now largely a matter of individual choice, of personal feeling, and many people do no® wear mourning at all, even for those nearest of kin. The important point is to feel as you so finely and honestly feel . . . that from your heart you wish to pay respect and honor to your husband's memory . and this is, fundamentally, a question of what you do, not what you wear. Please don't be one bit concerned about your clothes . . . the dark blue coat is quite all right, since it is dark. And for your house dresses, remember that all-white is as deep mourning as all-black . . and if white dresses are too much a concern as to cost or up- keep, wear whatever dark-color dresses you have, wearing oniy dark colors for the first six wo twelve months. teenth sanctuary intent."

"1, Are you supposed to say 'Hcl- lo' or 'Hil' to a boy first or is he supposed to?" Ans.--It's up to the girl to speak first according to Emily Post, so go ahead and greet him with a smile and a friendly "Hello" next time you see him in school, '2 If you're going into a building and a man is going in too, but he is ahead of you and he opens the door for you, should you say, "Thank yo' or just walk in and say nothing," Ans,--Say "Thank you" for his courtesy.

Being Underweight A Beauty Problem You thin girls who are forever coming across diets for plumper sisters probably feel your particular problem is overlooked. Underweight is just as serious a beauty handicap as excess poundage. Overslimness usually means your calorie intake is burned up before it becomes storage fat. For this reason, it's a good idea to check up on habits. You should remember to get as much sleep as you need to feel energetic. You should avoid: A skimpy breakfast, racing through the day at top speed, puttering around the bedroom until midnight doing small tasks or reading.
