PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTe In Jhe Home BEAUTY FOR YOU: Self-Consciousness By HELEN Considering how up-and-coming the younger generation is, the seri- ous subjects they talk about, their interest in politics and world af- fairs, one might get the idea that shyness no longer exists. But it does. And the self-conscious girl is just as unhappy as was her great- grandmother when she sat on the side lines at the party, wished she were dead because she couldn't be gay and the boy wouldnt pay any attention to her. Shyness is social' fear of doing or saying the wrong thing, fear that others will not approve of one's be- havior, The essence of the diffi- culty is really a feeling of being dif- ferent from others. This notion may be purely imaginative. Almost everyone suffers from self - con- sciousness at times. Many great actors and actresses suffer stage fright, are jittery be- fore each appearance. Though the world may praise them to the skies they have many moments of un- happiness, They're afraid the audi- ence will not be responsive. The mother of a self-conscious girl should tell that she is as sweet, pretty and attractive as other girls. That is what the wise, loving mo- ther will do; some mothers can't; they seem to be afraid of their daughters or at least don't know | how to approach them. Young peo- ple need affection in the family cir- cle and it should be expressed: it gives children courage and self- respect. To talk seriously to a child about self-consciousness is a mis- take, It should never be mention- ed. For a mother to say "Why can't you be like other girls, enter into social activities, and enjoy yourself?" is to throw the poor child into deeper confusion. Ridicule, fault-finamg, uncompli- mentary comparisons with other JAMESON R..i The mother of a self-conscious girl can help her by a little flattery. 'roa girls just won't do. Such an attitude on the part of a parent makes for further self-depreciation. The poor dear needs boosting, must never be slapped down. Care of the health is a factor that makes for improvement. Long hours of sleep, lots of outdoor life, nutri- tious food, pleasant companions may bring a change for the better. Serve Melon Sweet or with Lemon But Always Thoroughly Chilled The common edible melons are divided into several classes. The Watermelon is quite distinct in ap- pearance and texture. Other types such as Muskmelon, Cantaloupe, Casaba and Honey Dew have a firm, thick flesh with a centre seed cavity. The names Cantaloupe and Musk- melon were once used for quite different melons but have become interchangeable. These melons have netted skins and are more or less musk-scented. The flesh may be green or salmon-colored but the flavor is similar. The melon which is considered to be the choicest of all grows on the Island of Montreal and is known as the Montreal melon. These melons reach the weight of fifteen pounds and have a delicate, light green flesh. Watermelon grows naturally in Africa and are much enjoyed by the people and animals for their refreshing cool juiciness. The cul- tivated varieties have the appeal of color added to the other qualities. The thick white rind is not edible in the raw state but makes a deli- cious pickle. : Cassaba and Honey Dew melons are grown in mild climates and in Canada are often called Winter melons. Cantaloupe, Muskmelon and Wat- ermelon are at the peak of perfec- tion now. While these melons may be cooked in various ways, the flavor changes considerably and so the fresh, uncooked fruit should be served often while in season. Opinions vary greatly on what to serve with melon. The gourmet feels that a sprinkling of salt brings out subtle flavors. Some authorities say that the slight tart- ness of lemon or lime is required to bring out the real flavor while still others like a little sugar. All agree, however, that melons should always be thoroughly chilled. i Melon balls, combined with other fruits and pointed up with a sprig of mint, make a perfect. appetizer to start off a summer meal. Melon balls or cubes set in a tart lemon jelly are delicious for the salad course. If a mound of cottage cheese is served on crisp lettuce beside the moulded jelly, the salad would be substantial enough for a main course at lun- cheon. These recipes come from the home economists of the Consumer Section, Canada Department of Agriculture, MELON VELVA 2 tablespoons gelatine % cup water Juice of 1 lemon (about two 1% cups sugar 5 cups melon puree (about 5 lbs. of melon, as purchased) Soak gelatine in cold water for 5 minutes and then dissolve by heating over boiling water for 10] minutes. Add lemon juice, salt and sugar to puree. Have the puree mixture at room temperature and slowly add the dissolved gelatine - stirring constantly. Place in trays and freeze until firm, having temperature control at coldest point. Then turn into a chilled bowl and beat with a wood- en spoon or electric mixer until it lightens in color, increases in vol- ume and has a smooth texture.

Canada's ex-WRENS Reunite in Toronto Toronto -- (CP) -- More than 900 of Canada's wartime lady sailors from all over the continent are heading for Toronto this month to attend the WREN's first reunion. The date has been set for the week-end of Aug. 25 and ex- WRENS are coming from as far away as Venezuela. For a number of them the re- union will also be the family va- cation, with husbands and children making the trip and remaining over to visit the Canadian National Ex- hibition, A To help defray expenses, railway coaches with cooking and refrigera- tion facilities have been made avail- able to those travelling ffom the west coast. The program will open Saturday morning with a general meeting and a parade past the grandstand at the C.N.E. grounds. The crystal ballroom of the King Edward Hotel will be the scene of a banquet at which Defence Minister Brooke Claxton will speak. Sunday morning services will be held. In the afternoon 13 of the way associations across Can- ada will cruise aboar hin d HM.CS. Prizes are being offered for the largest family, the greatest distance travelled to attend the reunion and the most amusing service story.

'n the next five years. These operators will turn out 12 films a year on an independent basis. This is another step in the trend toward demise of the big studio operation. More and more inde- pendent set-ups are being incorpor- ated into the studios, which no longer will have to foot the bill on big contract lists and massive over- head. This probably will mean bet- ter pictures. . Not Hurting Never underestimate the value of publicity to a picture's success. "Father of the Bride," a delightful picture anyway, was undoubtedly built into one of the top grossers of the year.by Elizabeth Taylor's real- life wedding. Now insiders expect extra busi- ness for "Summer Stock," a likeable musical. The reason: its star is Judy Garland, who recently figured in the headlines. Not that either the Taylor or Garland events were planned publicity; but the news certainly hasn't hurt their drawing power. Titles The old, old problem of titles is still plaguing Hollywood. It's re- ported that "Annie Get Your Gun," which is doing big business, would do bigger with a different title. some people thought it was a picture about women in the war, instead of a musical. If there is confusion about such a well-known production, what would happen to the classics of older vintage? Would some people think "Taming of the Shrew" was a wild animal picture? Or "Uncle Tom's Cabin" a housing saga? A 15-year-old Caithness girl, Margaret C. Bremner, who is pro- bably the youngest anti in Britain, has unearthed several relics of the Norse occupation of Caith- ness. Near her home at Freswick (a few miles from John'o Groats) she found bone and bronze pins. two. whetstones and a comb. She also found an eight-pointed bronze brooch belonging to the early 14th century. Her finds will be exhibited in the National Museum of Anti- quities in Edinburgh.

GLAMORIZING :- Camouflage F By HELEN 4 SINCE movie stare just won't give up their sun-bathing sessions, it naturally follows that many of them have freckles. You'd be sur- prised! Among them are Myrna Loy, Joan Crawford, Janet Gaynor. The golden polka dots that trek over their noses don't seem to trouble them any. So, if you have a collection of your own, don't let it get you down. Lots of people believe that they make a girl look piquant and sassy. Certainly, they are a minor good-looks grief, not as bad as blackheads or coarse pores. Sun bathing is an effective and non-fattening way of getting vita- min D into your system, to put pep in you spirits and ginger in your heels. Much pleasanter than taking cod liver oil or overloading your bread with butter that is likely to put over-curves on your svelte an- atomy.

It is an old, tried and true treatment. It will not erase them over night, but it will keep them in hand and they won't get darker or increase in numbers. An oily cosmetic foundation, used before applying powder, will serve as a barrier against the strong rays of the sun that create these tiny blemishes -- if blemishes you con- sider them.

It's efficient and it's fun. No fashion show could run smoothly without some sort of chart made in advance to show the models clearly which hat, bag, gloves and shoes are to be worn with each outfit. The chart elimin- ates confusion and saves time. A similar chart will do as much for these four basic divisions: Daytime clothes, sports clothes, date clothes and accessories. Under each divi- siori list the type of garment (suit; kirt jacket), the color, and the ac- cessories for each complete outfit. Then under accessories, list all shoes, gloves, belts, blouses, sweat- ers, spring flowers or scarfs, hats and handbags.

BUNDESEN, M.D. HABIT SPASMS INVOLUNTARY twitchings of the muscles are known to doctors as tics or habit spasms. As the name indicates these spasmodic move- ments may have their origin in an oft volun movement which the individual can no longer refrain from making, simply ke- cause he has performed it so many times in the past. On the other hand, a tic may represent a purely nervous and uncontrollable jerking. Those most commonly seen affect the muscles of the face, neck, and shoulders, causing such motions as blinking, raising of the eyebrows, pouting, nodding, sniffing, twitch- ing of the neck, and shrugging of the shoulders. The head-rolling, shaking, and banging, which sometimes occur in infancy are somewhat akin to tics, but they usually clear up without treatment as the child grows older. conditions, such as St. Vitus's Dance, may be confused with tics. Following inflammation of the brain or encephalitis, peculiar muscle movements may develop, which are sometimes like habit spasms, On the other hand, the exact cause of true tics is not de- finitely known. It is thought that many of them particularly in chil- dren, may be due to some passing emotional upset. Sometimes a grown-up will de- velop a tic because of some re- peated movement which he carries out during his work, In almost all cases, there is evidence of some tendency to nervous disorders in the family. Tics are made worse by anxiety to worry. It is interesting to note that, during sleep, the tic disap- pears. For a short time, the tic may be stopped, just by making a strong effort 'of will, but too violent or prolonged attempts to stop the tics in this way often make them worse, Sedative Drugs In treating tic in the adult, rest and relaxation are important. Quieting or sedative drugs may be useful. Breathing exercises may be of benefit. A change of occupa- tion may be necessary in certain cases. Now and then, in tics affecting the eyelids surgical measures may be used. In - rtain instances, also, treatments by a specialist in nerv- ous system disorders may be helpful, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS S.R.--Would a gnawing, aggravat- ing pain in breast indicate cancer? Answer: It is not likely that the pain is due to cancer. Pain is one of the last symptoms of cancer. However, to be sure, it is advisable that you consult a physician to de- termine whether or not there are any swellings in the breast which might indicate a tumor.

ICED TEA Dear Mrs. Beeckman: A group of friends are planning to have a bridal shower for a very dear girl friend of ours. It is to be at my house, for a group of about forty. We would like the gifts to be gifts of money. Would it be cor- rect to call it a Greenback Shower on the invitations, or what should we call it? And what should we do for entertainment? A E If you must give a money shower I suppose the best name to call it is "Greenback Shower". But this type of shower is not considered very good form or taste, for cer- tainly the most delightful part of a shower is first the choosing and planning of the gifts, and then, at the shower, the thrilling presenta- tion of the gifts and the opening of them and enthusiastic oh-ing and ah-ing by guests and by the guest of honor, There's the joyous sur- prise element which is such good fun, and the chatting about their place and use in "their new home'. Anyone can bring a dollar bill or so ... but it takes imagination to plan and buy a charming shower gift. Also your question "What should we do for entertainment?" is answered by the fact that when you just give money-gifts, you hand in the money or the envelopes with the money, and that's that ... but when there is the excitement and charm of the presenting and open- ing of the gifts that is the "enter- tainment", the just-right and mer- ry entertainment. Also real shower gifts are lasting remembrances ... not just unidentifiable dollar bills! Fiance's Parents Have Not Made Welcoming Call Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My son is engaged to be married, and on many occasions: before the announcement of the engagement we entertained the girl at dinner and 'other occasions. But we have never met her parents, who live about thirty miles from us. I have always understood that it is the girl's parents who make the first step after the announcement of the engagement, inviting the young man's parents to their home. Now I am told that I am wrong about this, and that it is my place to invite the girl's parents to tea or something at our house. Which is really cor- rect procedure? And how soon af- ter the engagement should this be done? (2) Also please tell me in the event that the parents do not meet until the actual wedding day, who introduces them? Helen H. You have been informed correctly ... that it is the young man's par- ents who make the first social move. This means that as soon as possible after their son has told them of his WHAT SHOULD 1 DO ABOUT - Greenback Showers? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN engagement, his parents (or in any event, his mother) go at once to call on the girl and her mother to tell them of their happiness about the engagement, and to welcome the girl into their family. (If a personal call is impossible, the young man's mother may telephone or write notes to the girl and her mother . . but apparently this call would be possible and convenient for you, since the distance is not great.) This call or telephone or note should be accomplished at once ... within twenty-four hours after the news is told them is the idea ... not, as your question seems to in- dicate, after the engagement has been announced. After this formal- ity, either family may invite the other to come to any occasion. (2) I hope that you can bring about this meeting of the families soon very soon ... it is important that this should be done, and you are the one to do it. However, if it isn't done before the actual wedding day, you, the hostess of the wedding, are the one to make the introductions. Ancient History Brought To Life London -- (CP) -- Curators are making museums more attractive to youngsters and a new vogue in handling exhibits is being encour- aged in Britain. Children taken to Bruce Castle Museum in Tottenham recently for a lesson in Egyptology were given a special treat. Girls in the party were allowed to try on necklaces, rings and charms which had been worn by fashionable women in Egypt 3,000 years ago. Boys were permitted to spin a top that had once belonged to an Egyptian child _ and to try on face masks taken from mummies, The great Science Museum in South Kensington, with its ingen- jous working models of trains and exhibits of early flying machines and railway engines, is the delight of venturesome schoolboys, Some youngsters visit the museum every week and now some of the smaller, more delicate exhibits may be handled under the watchful eyes of officials. For years, in all parts of Britain, parties of students, under super- vision of official guides, have been permitted access to the interior of museum show-cases. Never until now, however, has such direct con- tact with valuable exhibits--espec~ ially by young children -- been allowed. do Clear Hey DAZ NOTHER JO [0 Javex removes stubborn grease and film from sinks and drain- boards in jiffy time!
