AR WEDNESDAY, FEBRI gin Jha. dome THE-DAJLY TIMES.CAZETTE " PAGE SEVEN In The Community BEAUTY FOR YOU:- Naturally Curly Hair By HELEN JAMESON Curly-locks doesn't know how lucky she is--or does she? No long sessions at the beauty shop getting a permanent wave, She is the envy of every girl whose hair is straight and 'stringy, the girls who go to bed every night with their heads covered with hardware, or spend at least forty minutes putting their short-cut tresses up in pin curls. Keeping the hair lovely is a part- time occupation with the majority of the sisters. Naturally curly hair varies in pattern and in degree of curliness. Sometimes there is nothing more than mere shadows of lines, in which event the finger wave will help to develop a more distinct de- sign. An end curl at the beauty- torlum will be necessary but that's a speedy job these days. The most troublesome kind of natural curl is the one in which nature seems to have overshot the mark, producing a frizz that is undiciplined. The only way to con- trol it is to use brilliantine as soon #8 the silky threads come out of the shampoo bowl. The combina- tion of oil and water will subdue tresses that seem to want to look like mattress stuffing, The short cut is a help; often it is desirable to thin and taper the shafts. 'The natural wave, be it ever so perfect, can be ruined by careless shampooing, The slightest film of soap scum will cause the coil qualify to disappear, Women who find t their permanents are go- ing weak and limp should remem- ber that, too. The use of some hair dyes will cause the natural wave to evaporate. For that reason one should have such treatments given by an experienced specialist who will know what agents should be 'When shampooing, start with a vigorous brushing to remove sur- Luncheon set to crochet Some naturally curly hair is trou- blesome, * + + face dust. Have a clean brush at hand to use after the ducking. Start with a rinsing with a bath spray and a strong current of wa- ter. If soap is used, it should be in liquid form. The first application isn't likely to foam well and should be rinsed away. The second one should fluff up like beaten egg white. Cold water should never be used. It is stimulating to the scalp, to be sure, but curls and ringlets are produced by a shrinking of the shafts and cold water makes them relax, After the shampoo, turn on the hot water and steam the hair. To produce the natural wave pattern, comb the hair out straight while it is wet, then push it for- ward at the front and sides. A worn toothbrush is an excellent tool for scrubbing away mud which has stuck to the heel or sole ledge of rubbers or galoshes. Care of the teeth should be start- ed at an early age.

A Physician Advises You By HERMAN M. BUNDESEN, M.D. SWELLING IN NECK A SWELLING in the neck may be. indicative of anything from mumps to tumor, Hence, it is im- portant to find its cause, not only to save the patient needless worry, but also to determine treatment. This is not always an easy task since so many differen® structures are found in this region, and yet the various glands, arteries, and ducts are so well charted that the very location of the swelling may often furnish a clue to its cause. In addition, the physician will have the aid of X-ray, plus various la- boratory procedures. Due to Cyst A in the middle of the front part of the neck may be due to what is known as a thyro-glossal duct cyst or a dermoid cyst. These A common cause of swellings on the sides of the neck, as well as under the chin, may be enlarged lymph glands. These glands be- come enlarged as a result of in- fectiong occurring in the teeth, ton- sils, sinuses, or throat. Lack of Iodine The thyroid gland, which is lo- cated in the neck, may become en- larged due to a lack of iodine in the diet. This oceurs particularly during the maturing period in youngsters or during pregnancy, especially among people living in areas where the water supply is low in iodine content. { Swellings under the chin may be due to enlargement of the salivary glands, These--glands may swell due 'to blocking of the duct which empties from them into the mouth, or from a tumor growth. Swellings just below the ear may also be due fo disturbances of an- other salivary gland known as the parotid gland. The swelling in these cases may also be due to tumors or obstruction of the duct, but the most frequent cause is mumps. A swelling just above the collar bone may be due not only to tumor, but also to enlarged lymph glands, such as occur in the disorder known as Hodgkin's disease. It may also come from a dilatation of the art- ery in this area, known as the sub- clavian artery. In determining the cause of the swelling, feeling .the area will help to tell the physician whether it is soft or hard, whether it is movable, and whether or not it pulsates. X-ray examination is helpful in the diagnosis, Sometimes it is necessary to use a hypodermic syringe and needle to puncture the swelling and with- draw some of the material for examination under the microscope. Of course, great care should be used in determining whether or not such a diagnostic puncture should be carried out since, if the swelling is due to a blood vessel" enlarge- ment, the puncture would involve some danger. Blood counts to de- termine the number of white cells in the blood may be helpful in de- termining whether or not the swellings come from lymph gland disorders. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS JR.: Do you think it ig all right to use sweaters from a patient in a tuberculosis hospital after they have been washed and disinfected? Answer: It would be satisfactory to use these sweaters if they are properly cleaned. GLAMORIZING:- . Beauty Is at Your Fingertips By HELEN FOLLETT . If your -nails tend to split, soak them in heated cuticle oil for fifteen min- utes twice a week. At bedtime, massage a little of the oil around your nails. EXPERIENCED manicurists file the customer's finger nails the de- sired length and shape before giv- ing them the soapy bath because warm water softens the pink sheaths and prevents successful fil- ing. When you give your talons a clean-up, keep that in mind. The shaping is important. Al- though the oval is considered the ideal, every hand has its own nail pattern which must be considered. When they are long and narrow, they should be filed fairly short. The wide, stubby one looks best when it carries a wide eave. Extra long claws are no longer consider- ed cute or arty. Toward the Genter File from the sides toward the center so you will take no chance of sawing down into the flesh, To do that repeatedly is to cause na- ture to build heavy cuticle as a protective measure. After shaping, soak your finger tips in warm seap suds. While doing that run the nail-white pencil under the eaves, forming a clear cut line. No need of telling you that polish removal should be done before the file is used. Rinse away the suds, dry thor- oughly, apply a cuticle cream to each nail. With the wedge-shaped end of an orange wood stick lift the flesh gently, being careful not to push it down at the base, Pressure against the matrix, where new cells are forming, is often responsible for a deformed nail. Removal of Hangnails For the removal of hangnails you should have curved, needle- point scissors.

The flesh around finger and toe nails is especially susceptible to infection. In any open wound bacteria can take up resi- dence, cause pain and trouble.

Classified ads are sure to pay -- Phone 35 with yours today Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood--(AP) -- Young love deserves a break on the screen, says John Derek, the heartthrob of the milkshake set. The actor complains that the over-age romeos get smooching by the bushel in movies, while the young actors get only a peck. Somewhat rashly, he hurled a chal- lenge: "Just let me make love to a young girl on the screen and I can make it look better than any of 'the older actors. This isn't bragging; it's just that young love is so much more exciting and real." The latter could be grounds for a great debate but we won't go into it here. Let's get back to Der- ek's complaint. He remarked that he has been unable to display his romantic abilities on the screen. In four out of five pictures, he has been portrayed as a killer. (He's at it again in "The Secret") In his other film he devoted his time largely to playing football. This illustrates the current trend of Hollywood thofght. The pro- ducers are inclined to present the picture of young people devoting all their time either to strenuous sports or murder, mayhem and other forms of delinquency. "They seem to have forgotten that young people make love, too," Derek said. "In one of my pictures, I was supposed to play a young man. But when I read the dialgue, it was written for a man of about 35. It sounded silly for me to be saying those words and I knew I would be hit by the critics because of it. "That made me realize that young people are no longer represented in the making of pictures, The writer, the producer and the director, all had forgotten how young people talk and acted." The older actors not only take the stories away fram the younger ones, Derek said, but the actresses, too. "It's easier for a young girl to get roles than for a boy," he said, "because the male role in a pic- ture more often requires the bigger name, The result is that younger girls appear with older men and then seem too mature to play op- posite someone young.

My daughter is planning to have an informal wedding---cere- mony in the clergyman's home, on a Sunday afternoon, at four o'clock. She is going to wear a suit. Would it be correct for both mothers and also her attendant to wear suits? 2. The reception, to which we will invite about thirty guests, will be either at a club or.in our home. What refreshments should we serve? R. W. 1. Yes. 2. At today's late-afternoon wed- ding receptions . . . whether the reception is formal or informal, large or small . . . the menu uSu- 'ally served is extremely simple. There should always be two items: (a) the wedding cake, to be cut first by the bride and bridegroom, and then to be served to the guests; and (b) a cold drink, the traditional champagne or a non-alcoholic punch, with which to drink. the toasts to the bride and bridegroom. Then there may be coffee and/or tea; small, simple sandwiches, per- haps made of different kinds of bread; little cakes and cookies, to supplement the wedding cake. Sometimes ice cream or water ice is served, but this is not necessary. Grandmother Who Brought Up Grandson Should Be Invited To Be In Reception-Line Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 1. We need your help in solving our problem. My grandson is to be married in several weeks, and there has been considerable difference of opinion regarding the receiving- line. This young man and his mother are on very good terms, love each.other dearly. But I, his mother's mother, have raised this boy since he was two years old, have been like a mother to him as well as a grandmother, and he is being married from my house. Con- sidering all these circumstances, where do you think I should stand in the receiving-line? I feel that I should stand next to the boy's mother. Incidentally, I should like to ask if it is proper for the bride's mother to plan the whole affair herself. I should think that the two mothers should plan certain things together. 2. My daughter has a grand- mother. Where should her place be in the line? R. 8 1. I agree with you entirely and most enthusiastically . . . that you should be invited to stand next to WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT: Menu at Wedding Reception? By MES. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN your grandson's mother in the re= ceiving-line. Certainly you have earned this honor and distinction on this important occasion, by your wonderful and abiding devotion to and care of your grandson. First in the receiving-line will be, I think, the bride's mother, the hostess, and then perhaps the bride's father, al- though very often the bride's fa- ther prefers to mingle with the guests. Next, might be the bride- groom's mother, and then you, the grandmother; next, the bridegroom, with his bride at his right; th the maid of honor, on the right the bride; and last the bridesmaids, It is customary, and certainly the gracious thing to do, for the mothers to consult together and make certain plans that affect both families; such as this planning of the receiving-line. But even if this is not being done, I think that your daughter, the bridegroom's mother, should "hint" to him thas he should "hint" to his bride's motljr that the gesture he wishes to ve made is. this important bow to the loving grandmother who gave him such devotion and care. Really you belong in that receiv- ing-line just as much as, perhaps more than, the young man's mother does. (And incidentally the bride- groom should be told, if he doesn't already know, that he should send a corsage not only to his bride's mother and to his own mother, bus. also to you!) 2. I see no special reason hi your daughter's grandmother shoul be included in the receiving-line, If a stored bogk has become mil. dewed, spread its pages out fan- wise to air them.
