TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE "2 ~. OF INTEREST TO WOMEN BEAUTY FOR YOU: Fatted Calves & Sprinkled Shanks . By HELEN JAMESON That feminine legs come in an infinite variety is apparent to any observing eye. There are thick and thin ones, short and long ones, those that are bowed and those that are knock-kneed. What can be done about them? Teachers of physical education and bosses of figure-normalizing salons say that these cases are not hopeless. Changes for the better are possible, . though bow legs and knock-knees are problems for the attention of medical specialists. Strangely enough, the same ex- ercises. that annihilate fat cells will fill out the legs of the skinny 1assies. What they do is to normal- ize through the simple process of strengthening the muscles. On firm, yestlient muscles, fat cells haven't a chance. We offer some exercises that Have proved effective. They won't ac- complish a presto-change act in & few weeks, or even a few months. One must be persistent, keep om the job, have a regular time set aside each day for a work-out. If your legs are not precisely what you would have ordered, had you had anything to say about the matter, try this one: Stand tall, with chest up, tum- my in, hands extended out on a straight line from the shoulders for balance, feet ten inches apart. Lower the torso slowly until the buttocks rest on your heels. No fair-touching the floor with your fingers! Up on the toes slowly; down again and up again. When you feel tired, stand tall and take half a dozen deep breaths. You may take a tumble or two, but what is that in the great and glor- fous cause of good looks Nothing at all, ° Lie on your back, arms out at the sides, keeping the shoulders flat on the floor, pull both knees up to the chest. Then roll your knees from side to side. This movement is particularly adapted to the purpose of diminishing the measurements of heavy thighs.

My husband and I have always entertained quite a good deal, and most of our din- ners have been, while not strictly formal, somewhat formal. Our din- ners are usually for ten, and I have always used plain white place cards, And. ..I have always just taken it for granted that I placed a card at my husband's place, and a card at my own place. Yesterday, during a very casual conversation among several friends at our Coun- try Club, one ,of the women, very and very social, happen- ed to mention, apropos of a remark about place cards that I don't recall, that "of course" there were mo place cards at the places of the hostess and host. It certainly wasn't "of course" to me, Mrs. Beeckman! Should it be? Please tell me if I have been wrong all these years...and if there is a rule, please explain it to me, B.H. Yes, there is a rule. . .that there are no place cards at the places of the hostess and host. The idea is that the hostess knows where her placa at the table is, and the host ws where his place is--whereas the guests have to look for the cards to locate their places. But don't worry about your "past life with place cards". ..what you did didn't hurt anyone, and so it is un- important. And it will be fun (and reassurance) for you to abide by this place-card-rule in the future! Wording For "You Are 8 Invited Form of Invitation Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Will you please tell me the exact wording of the invitations my hus- band and I would like to 'send to a cocktail party followed by a buffet supper, in our home on a Sunday late-afternoon soon?

Yes, this invitation-in-the-sec- ond-person is a friendly form of invitation, and, as you say, a happy medium between a formal invita tion and the note form of invita tion.

Since Luscious Liz made no re- buttal after the humor magazine's onslaught, I sought some words from Parks, who recently fihished a giceure with the actress. His reply: "I suppose the selection was meant to be good clean-college-boy fun, but I think it was in rather bad taste, particularly at this time when she is having personal troub- les, Furthermore, I think their selection is incorrect. "I had only met Liz once before we started the picture and I ex- pected not to like her. I thought there must be something wrong with anyone that beautiful. But I must say I was agreeably surprised. I have never worked with onyone so co-operative. "Aside from being conscientious, she has a great talent. I am con- vinced of that. Will she ever win an academy award? * I don't see why she shouldn't, if given the right kind of material." Parks remarked that he found other surprising things about the girl. . "I naturally expected a girl with a face like that to have piano legs," he said. "I thought she'd prob- ably have to wear long skirts all her life. But this picture shows more of her than has béen Seen on the screen before. .And her fu- ture is just as perfect as her face."

We hear every member of our beauty class shout~ ing "Yes". There never was a time when cosmetic chemists were turn- ing out such wonderful products, beautifully packaged, exquisitely perfumed. Thing what our grand- mothers missed! They used mutton tallow for chapped skins, dipped into cornstarch to put the dull fin ish on the shining nose. A lot of fun that must have been! Beauti« fying was considered sinful. What virtue is there in ugliness? We ask you! . When taking an eagle's-eye view of toiletries, do not overlook bath accessories. Bathing is & health measure, it helps to build a color- ful complexion, but it should also be a pleasure. Bath salts soften the water, perfume your precious hide. You can use wafers if you prefer them. Or bath salt sticks to wiggle in the water. More important than anything bath and have towel, pat on a liberal amount of fragrant bath powder. LJ a brisk rubdown with a rough else is a brush of stiff bristles that will remove dead skin scales to which the chemicals of perspiration stick like all get out. Swishing with the wash cloth won't get down to bed rock. The skin is an organ of elimination; its wastes should be scoured away dally. After you step out of the tub, after a brisk rub down with a coarse towel--it takes a rough one to stir up circulation--you will en- joy using a dusting powder. Your skin will feel like velvet. Red points known as goosie-flesh will pack up and git. Be fussy about the soap you use. It must be bland; it must foam up quickly into a rich suds. If the children have set out to make a record in the way of mis- chief and noise, if things have gone wrong, and you're tired enough to burst into tears, have a warm bath. Stay in the tub until you feel relaxed and rested. Nothing like it to put you on your toes again. TIPS FOR TEENS:- Want to be Likeable? Here's How By ELINOR WILLIAMS Here's a problem that's sometimes shared by many of us . , . sent by a high school girl. "Will you please tell me how to get a boy to like you? she writes. "please publish an article on the subject." f If I knew a can't-fail answer to that one, I'd be a millionaire and probably the most successful writer who ever lived! Liking people just seems to hap- pen, for the most part. People just naturally like you or not and there's sometimes very little you can do about it, because everybody doesn't like the same kind of girl--or boy. You'll be more likeable, however, if you-- 1. Show an interest in the boy and in the things that interest him. 2. Ask his opinion and advice. 3. Enjoy the sports and things that he enjoys. 4.

BUNDESEN, M.D. HEART A FAILURE SYMPTOMS THOUGH medical knowledge has increased amazingly 'during recent years, we are still in the dark as to how some of the body's most fund=- amental processes are regulated. None of these are more fascinat- ing and few more secret than those whereby the blood is kept in its normal healthy stat. We know, for instance, that this vital fluid is teeming with red cells, tiny oxygen- carriers which are constantly being worn out, destroyed, and replaced. We have not yet discovered, how- ever, how the birth of new red cells is controlled--what stimulates their formation in the first place, and what stops or slows it down when the proper number has been sup- plied. Out of Hand On the other hand, we are very well aware of what happens when this process gets out of hand and the bone marrow goes on turning out red cells long after normal needs are satisfied. This is the situation in a disorder known as polycy- themia. People of the medical pro- fession are pretty well convinced that the fault must lie in the bone marrow, since the spleen, chief organ of blood cell destruction, seems nor- mal in these cases and is not lying down on its job of disposing of over-age cells. When such a basic substance as the blood is affected by disease, secondary damage to ether parts of the body is both wide-spread and varied. In polycythemia, not only is the number of red cells vastly in- creased, but the volume of the blood is often double or triple the normal amount. In consequence, the heart cannot keep this great volume mov= ing at the normal rate. It flows sluggishly and with less than its wanted force. As a result, there may be symptoms like those occur=- ring in heart failure, and disturb- ances in the extremities, particular- ly in the feet. Blood clots may form in various blood vessels, such as those which supply the heart muscle with blood, or in the blood vessels of the brain or liver. Ulcers of the stomach is frequently found in this condition, possibly because the flow of blood to the stomach lining is cut off by the formation of clots in one of the tiny blood vessels. It has also been noted that hardening of the arteries is more common in patients with this disease. While no complete cure has yet been found, it is possible 'to keep the condition under control for many years with treatment by X-ray, or with chemicals, such as nitrogen mustard. Recently, radio- active phosphorus has been employ- ed and has been found to check the condition for periods as long as three years. Removal of blood from a vein twice a week, is also a helpful form of treatment. The patient is {given a diet low in iron-containing foods, and his intake of red meats, liver, eggs, and green vegetables is restricted. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Constant reader: Will you please tell me something about cysts, what causes them, and should they be removed? Answer: The cause of a cyst is not known. In most instances, surgical removal is advisable. If you carelessly made the mis- take of pressing your suit collar on the right side, with resulting shini- ness, try saturating a cloth with hot vinegar and then wringing it out. Pat and sponge the collar with this cloth, and while still damp, press on the wrong side. POLISHES right into TES cussions, gossip and catty remarks. 9.
