In Jhe Home TUESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1950 BEAUTY FOR YOU:- | Here's Looking at You? By HELEN JAMESON Youth is supposed to be the hap- piest time of one's life. But it would seem that youth doesn't al- ways realize that. Mothers of boys, as well as girls, will tell you that their children continually worry about their appearance. A boy will lament because he fancies his chest is not as wide and full as 'it should be; or that he has a braying laugh -- which he probably hasn't--or that his Bait is curly he prefers it straight. iW Ach cook up a lot of griefs that often are imaginery. The nose is too long or too short. The ankles are a bit thick, One young lady of nineteen, an acquaintance of your reporter, sobs that her legs are "muscular," when they aren't at all. They are beautifully formed. All this may sound idiotic, but it isn't. These imagined de- fects are serious enough to them, and make them unhappy. It is just too bad. But time will bring a change. Every girl--every woman -- has her good points and those that are not as good. Scrutinize other wb- men and you will find that prac- tically everyone has some obvious defect, large or small--perfection being: practically non-existent. If you have beautiful, expressive eyes, you have one of the 'most valuable pulchritude assets; so for- get it if your chin recedes a little. Are you blessed with a trim "fig- ure, neat waist, graceful hips, a smooth back? Then remember that an attractive shape means every bit as much as a glorious complexion and perfect features. Small ears, placed closed to the head, should be regarded as a bless- ed inheritance. If you have them and haven't appreciated them, lis- ten to the lamentations of the girl whose ears are a bit too large. She hates them. Miss Plumpie, with a short, fat neck, yearns for a long, thin one. So it goes. What's the answer to all this? Be grateful for the good points. Overcome the bad ones, if that is oh ax Features Hramaie Miss Plumpie yearns for a long, thin neck * + possible; if it isn't, endure them or forget them, but don't let them make you wretched or unhappy. After. all, it isp't just how you look; it is what you are, how you behave, what you have to say. If you are sweet, have a kindly feel- ing toward your fellow creatures, you will outshine the handsome but lemonated girl who has a nasty disposition. Cultivate the air and manner of a beautiful person; that alone will make you 'better looking every day of your life. Hon.

Rose is a working girl. Any morning she may be seen leaving the T75-acre government house grounds--to catch a street- car for downtown and a job as stenographer in a city insurance office. She took the job because she wanted it. What's more, she likes it and plans to stick with it. She's will liked too by the girls who work with her, They say when the office-clock moves around to time for afternoon tea it's always Rose who is on hand to help with the dishes afterward. In clothes Rose prefers suits and moderately high heels for day wear. She seldom wears a hat. As for hobbies she has her stamp- collecting and also is continuing with her Girl Guide activities. At present she is a lieutenant in the First Ottawa Company. Beyond the ball which will serve as Rose's "coming out" party, there won't be any more entertainment than usual at Rideau Hall this sea- son. Some 700 persons will be invited | to the party and among them wili| be Rose's brother, 15-year-old Shane, now in England attending school at Harrow. Shane will be home for Christmas vacation around Dec. 23 on the Queen Eliza- beth which will dock at New York, Do You Know... THAT . . . reverent religious Christmas cards are continuing to increase in popularity? Never has there been such a wide variety of impressive religious cards as this year . . . this year when our hearts and spirits need the religious com- fort and inspiration. The finest creative talent has been devoted to the designing of Christmas cards reflecting the true spirit of Holy Season, The star-lit splendor of The Nativity, the gentle Madon- na, the tender Child, adoring angels. A youthful shepherd watch- ing his flock by night. The Three Wise Men with their earnest, searching faces. And there are cards with the the |- traditional religious symbols -- church steeples, church bells, wor- | shippers entering a church for the Christmas service, carollors, glow- | ing stained glass windows of a church. You will find many beauti- ful reproductions of great paint- ings of famous Madonnas. Many of the religious cards carry Biblical quotations, some printed manu- script-style with illuminated initial letters. Other cards express their Christmas messages with joyous quotations from the Psalms. And on many of these cards the great and much-needed prayer: "Glory to God in the highest. And on Earth, Peace, Good-Will toward | men." | Tt is estimated that over 300,000,~ { 000 religious Christmas greeting | cards will be exchanged this year. And it is extremely impressive and thought-inspiring to note that the increase in the demand for genu- inely religious Christmas cards is paralleling the increase the church attendance reported by religious leaders recently. Today more than 82% of the population of the Units ed States is affiliated with some re- ligious activity . . , a tremendous increase over the church member- ship listed for twenty or thirty years ago.

BUNDESEN, M.D. STOMACH ULCERS FOR years, ¢hief reliance in the treatment of ulcer of the stomach or the first part of the bowel has been in antacids. These are sub- stances which neutralize the acid which is a normal component of the stomach digestive juices. Anti- acids are also useful in relieving conditions due to gallbladder trouble and other digestive com- plaints. - Today, the physician has a large number of these drugs to choose from in prescribing for his patients, and usually his choice will be determined not only by the power of the antacid to neutralize but also on its ability to relieve symptoms. Other things to be considered are how fast, the antacid acts, what effect it has on the bowel, the amount of gas formation it may produce and whether or not it is palatable and easy to take. Baking Soda Probably the first antacid em- ployed was ordinary baking soda. It seems that this substance is particularly helpful in relieving heartburn. Heartburn occurs be- cause the acid stomach juice gets up into the esophagus, which leads from the mouth into the stomach. When the baking soda is taken, it not only neutralizes the acid but also forms enough gas to stretch the esophagus and relieve spasm. Heartburn which occurs during pregnacy is especially helped by the baking soda, When it comes to gastric ulcer, however, baking soda has serious disadvantages. In these cases, the, physician will rely on newer anti- acids made of such substances as aluminum hydroxide and alumi- num silicate. These antacids are not taken up into the body as baking soda may be. They are not irritating to the lining of the stomach. It would also seem that aluminum silicate has the power to take up solid particles such as germs and their products and may, therefore, be helpful in cases of intestinal infections and diarrhea. On the other hand, these prepara- tions may tend to produce hard, dry bowel movements, Another antacid, magnesium trisilicate, is effective in relieving pain, but is irritating to the intes- tine. Sometimes, a mixture of both types of preparation works quite well. The aluminum hy- droxide preparations are pleasant to take and seem to be especially useful in cases of ulcers. Of course, other forms of treat- ment are important for ulcers, such as rest, the avoidance of to- | { bacco and alcohol, and the use of | the proper diet. In all cases, the physician will decide which ant- acid will be employed and the dose in which it should be used. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS L. M.: What causes discolored fingernails? Answer: This condition results from some condition affecting the nail-bed. It might be due to a circulatory disturbance.

PAGE FIFTEEN -------------------------------------------- GLAMORIZING:- By HELEN FOLLETT Keep Hair Shining And Neat £ Give your hair a quick cleanup between shampoos by saturating a pad of cotton with good quality witch hazel and rubbing it over tresses, a few strands at a time, » HAIR seldom receives the at- tention it needs and to which it is rightly entitled. We make ap- pointments for permanent waves, trims and chic arrangements, but | there are not hygienic measures that will keep the tresses shining bright, in a healthy condition. Care of the scalp must be included. One never knows when some- thing may happen to the hirsute nimbus. It has its good seasons, and bad ones. A physical upset, nervous strain, malnutrition, loss of sleep may make the thatch take on a depressed appearance. Consternation faces one when there is a thinning at the temples * | or when ringlets a:c not the lux- \d uriant growth they once were. First, a.clean scalp. That means that the periods between sham- poos should not exceed a fortnight. By that time there is plenty of debris created by the combination of atmospheric dust, exudations of the sebaceous and sweat glands, dead skin scales that are constant- ly fluffing away. A brisk brushing should precede the application of the shampoo agent. The program should start with a rinsing with 'a bath spray and a strong current of water. No matter what is used--soap, oil or cream--there should be two TIPS FOR TEENS:- Answer to a Date Problem By ELINOR WILLIAMS . Two high school girls with a date problem! Perhaps you've wondered about this, too. Here's their letter: "We are two high school juniors and in a muddle as to whether to ask two boys we are not very well acquainted with to a dance com- ing up soon. It is usually a big af- fair and everybody goes. "Both boys were new in the school last year and are one year ahead of us. We met them at a very large social gathering. It was dark in the room and the next time we met, we didn't speak , . . probably be- cause they didn't recognize us. "The good part of it is they travel |, , as a pair and so do we. De you think we could ask them or would they refuse?" Ask them by all means, explain- ing that you're the girls who met them at the social affair you men- tioned. The worst that can happen is that they can't go and that needn't embarrass "you. They'll probably be glad to go, especially if you tell them that you would like to plan it as a "double date" (with them as your guests). The double date arrangement will make it easier to get acquainted, since you don't know them very well. Too bad you didn't speak to them next time you met after the social gathering. It's correct for girls to speak first, so you could have greet- ed them in a friendly, casual way, explaining where you met and that "you thought you recognized them ." or something similar to break the ice and get acquainted.

Simcoe S. -- Phone 68 Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood--(AP)--Today Shirley Temple is free to marry television executive Charles Black and that's what Hollywood expects her to do --perhaps at Christmas time. Just a year ago the former child star tearfully. filed for divorce from John Agar. Now her waiting period under California law is over wed the handsome son of a wealthy San Francisco family. Shirley, who is 22, will not com= mit herself. Nor is Black any more informa- tive. His reply to the marriage rumor is "no comment." Shirley met Black in Hawaii where she and her daughter Susan were vacationing after the emo- tional divorce trial. Black was then assistant to the president of a large pineapple concern. Soon afterwards 'he moved to Los Angeles where he sells time for a television station. Black was graduated from Stan- ford Univesrity in three years and did post-graduate work at Harvard and Stanford. He distinguished himself in the navy during the war, rising from seaman to lieu- tenant-commander in six years of service throughout the Pacific. Ac- quaintances describe him as "ex- tremely manly." applications, each one followed by a prolonged rinsing. Friction of the scalp should not be limited to a minute or two. The more rubbing it gets, the cleaner the shampoo, the more beneficial the the circulatory streams. For a quick clean-up between shampoos, saturate a pad of cot- ton with good-quality witch hazel and wipe over a few strands of hair at a time. Do not practice economy when buying a hair brush. Cheap ones have bristles that weaken and bend, so are practically worthless. Have two, the best you can find, so one will always be clean. Soil- ed combs and brushes can be responsible for scalp Infections. Some brushes come in pretty plas- tic cases, in which they can be kept, free of dust.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN You should address your Christ- mas card envelapes so carefully and so handsomely that they will make that bright and endearing first im- pression they should make, The pleasing faces of your card- envelopes will "smile" your greet- ings to your friends even before your Christmas cards "speak" your eetings! And that's charmingly nd proudly as it should be. Don't think of your envelopes as just impersonal containers for your Christmas cards. Your envelopes are very personal things , . . they carry your handwriting, character- istic of you, heart-warmingly wel- come to your friends, And if you are a well-groomed person, you will want your envelopes to be well-groomed too . . . nothing care- less about them, nothing shoddy. Here are some hints, some very practical hints: 1. Write carefully, legibly, and in your "very best" handwriting. Illegibility gets you nowhere . . and too often gets your letters ex- actly the same place! "Address your Christmas envelopes plainly" is the annual and ever-hopeful plea of the Post Office Department. It is practical advice, thrifty advice, too, because your carelessly-ad- dressed envelopes may very well mean (1) that they will find them- selves languishing among the mil- lions of other letters annually sent to the Dead Letter Office, or (2) that they will unnecessarily and wastefully be detouring about the country in an effort to find out what in the world you 'really did mean by some of the illegible or abbreviated words you scribbled in the address. 2. Really check to see if you have the correct address, and really write it correctly. If you know the Zone Number, use it . . . that's wit it's for. 3. USE AS FEW ABBREVIA- TIONS AS POSSIBLE! Which means practically no abbreviations, except, of course, "Mr." and "Mrs." Abbreviations are not "becoming" to envelopes, and particularly not to Christmas card envelopes, which, by their very special nature, should not register the haste that abbre- Abbreviating is a lazy person's way of writing, or a careless person's way of writ- ing. If you've let this unattractive, untidy habit grow on you, here's good news . . . you can get over it in no-time flat if you set your mind to it. It takes only a second or two to write a word in full , . . just about es long as it. takes to make the period after the abbreviation! Try it . . . write N.Y. . .. then New York; Conn. . . . then Connecti cut; Ont. . . . then Ontario. Really not much difference in seconds, but s0 very much difference in appear ance and in possibility-of-safe de- livery. Abbreviations are also the chief source of mishaps to envelopes. Particularly the abbreviations of of names of states. Perplexed Post Office attendants have an unhappy time trying to figure out whether Careless Carrie or Casual Charlie means to write N.J. or N.Y.; Mo. or - Md.; Tex. or Tenn,; Neb. or Nev.; Cal. or Col. Honor the names of '| states and the names of Canadian provinces . . . this is good form, good taste, good sense. North, South, East and West also should be written in full, and capi- talized in the names of states, cities, streets. Keep your pen right on its way, and instead of abbreviations, write out Street, Avenue, Road, Pang, Square. Write "and" not the #;2 of and (&), in Mr, and Mrs.. 4, Give honor to the first names of your friends, Write James (not Jas.); Charles (not Chas.); Richard (not Rich'd). And no nicknames on envelopes, please: Margaret (not Peggy); Elizabeth (not Betty). 8. Always write a title before a name ..., Mrs. ... Miss .., Mr. (Miss before the name of even a very young girl), 6. Don't write any unnecessary curlycues . . . they often cause mis- reading. No need for "To" or "For" before the name, or for "No." or # before the street-address, or for a comma between the number and the name of the street. No need for a comma before or after the Zone Number , . . which, by the way, MRS, BEECKMAN Continued on Page 9) ls LH Hise Ysreissreis rrr, Co oD) hose 2000s 447. A : Large. Small, Medium and Large.
