WEDNESDAY, MAY 30, 1951 THE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN ~ OF In The dome The Experts Say By KAY REX There may be an asparagus patch at the bottom of your garden, but if not there's certainly plenty in the stores. And the tasty green stalks will be available for at least anoth- er month, so make the most of your opportunity. i One of our favorite food connis- seurs throws up her hands in hor- ror at mention of asparagus in cream sauce. "Don't insult it that way," she says. "On the other hand don't turn up your nose at a 'drawn butter' sauce." Here is one way the French like to eat their asparagus, Put a dash of pepper and salt to taste in individual saucedishes. Add two teaspoonsfull of vinegar (wine preferably and nothing high- ly spiced) plus two teaspoons of good quality olive or peanut oil. Whip the mixture with a spoon. The reason for the etiquette hint is because this asparague must be eaten with the fingers. Fresh stalks are chosen and they shouldn't be cooked more than eight minutes. Asparagus is then placed ina dish. The pieces are picked up, dipped in the sauce and eaten with bread (and butter. Did it ever occur to you to chill the water in which you cook your asparagus? It makes an excellent vegetable juice and also may be used in soups and gravies. An asparagus omelet also will provide a welcome change in the supper menu at this season of the year. Heat any left-over asparagus on hand. When omelet is ready to be lifted from the pan put pieces of asparagus on one side of the omelet and fold over. . Remove crust from thinly sliced bread and butter the pieces. Roll each slice around a piece of aspara- gus which has been touched with mayonnaise. Pin with a toothpick. For a really exotic asparagus dish try this plan: Boil some _rice. Don't cook too long. The grains must remain separate. Empty a tin of tuna fish into another dish. Add cooked aspara- gus cut into one-inch pieces. Add @ little butter to prevent sticking. When rice has been cooked and strained add the asparagus and tuna mixture to it. Toss lightly.

With some women there is a sudden ambitious flare up. Scalp is frictioned, hair brushed, complex- ion is creamed, even daily exercises are gone through--a great expend- iture of energy. Then the flame flickers and dies out, cosmetics are forgotten, sometimes even the pow- der pad rests in its little plastic case. That method won't get you anywhere. Onf cannot afford to be over- confident, feel that one is immune to facial furrows, silvered locks, spreading contour of the body. Un- | BEAUTY FOR YOU: Teen-Agers' Dress Standardized By HELEN Wise mothers don't use an iron hand with young daughters these days. The method doesn't work. They endeavor, with love and tact- ful handling, to direct them in the way they should go. Youth con- siders itself smarter than age-- always has; always will. In some households there is con- flict between mother and child concerning the clothes she should wear, The young girl should be permitted to state her preferences and, if possible, her ideas should be accepted. She knows what the other kids are wearing, doeg't want to appear different from her companions. Many girls of fifteen have a keener dress sense than their mothers have, especially those mothers who haven't kept in step with the trend. At all costs, conflict should be avoided. Any- thing is better than losing the love of one's child. It is the parents' job to try to understand this product of the twentieth century, not to be the shocked, hardhearted critic, wholly out of sympathy. To do this, a child must be approached 'in a tolerant spirit, not a prejudiced one. Often it is pretty difficult to live with an adolescent, but maybe that is what your parents thought when you were young and gay-- and probably headstrong. On one subject a mother should be strict, even adamant; she should insist that young daughter take Easy Stichery Personal accessories, linens are beautiful when decorated with these Flower-of-the-Month motifs - May and June in this pattern.

She should see that she keepts her room neat and tidy, that she hangs up her coats and dresses, keeps her hats in boxes, and puts her shoes on shoe trees. The teen-agers' character is form- ing all the time, and a well-de- veloped semse of order is a quality that oils the wheels of life. It makes any job easier, no matter what kind of work one does. The girl who lets her mother pick up after her will develop into a slo- venly housekeeper later in life, may drive her husband frantic with her careless, extravagant ways. The child must be taught to brush her hair; neglect of this duty in childhood may result in®a thinned growth, The child should decide its arrangement. If the family budget is ample and the child's hair is straight and stringy, an end-curl permanent will do no harm and will add to pleasing ap- pearance. ? Care of the teeth consists not only in correctly - accomplished brushing twice a day--the bristles should sweep away from the gums --but in a semi-annual visit to the dentist for examination, cleaning and any necessary repairs.

No matter how busy a woman may be she can give thirty minutes at brdtime to pulchritude chores. A nourishing cream frictioned into her skin will keep it smooth, fine of tex- ture. A brief brushing of the hair will act as a vitalizing stimulant to the growth, keep the shafts glossy Hands must not be neglected; they shoula be lotioned once a "day, creemed at night. No woman need be told that health is reflected in the eyes, the skin, the finger nails, the form and pose of the body. Under-nourish- ment will cause facial tissues to sag. Sluggish circulation will rob the complexion of pleasing coloring. Unless one has the required intake of water each day the skin will dry out; and a dry skin is susceptible tn early wrinkles. Loss of sleep will bring pouches or shadows under the eyes. Lack of fres air is often responsible for the lagging step. A Physician Advises You By HERMAN M. BUNDESEN, M.D. CAUSES OF ANEMIA MANY people have anemia, or lack of sufficient red cells and coloring matter in the blood. It can result from many causes, Gen- erally, these causes may be divided into three main groups. The first | and most obvious cause of anemia is loss of blood, either the result of injury or of long-continued bleed- ing due to disease, such as that which sometimes occurs in stomach ulcer. Conditions which make for increased destruction of the red cells and those which impair the body's ability to form them at normal speeds make up the other two groups. An undue number of red cells may be destroyed as the result of infections or because of poisoning with various chemical substances. Infants are sometimes born with conditions, such as congenital hem- olytic anemia, 'which bring about extremely rapid destruction of the blood. SLOWER THAN NORMAL Blood cell formation may be slower 'than normal, either because certain elements necessary to their construction are missing or be- cause of damage to the wone mui- row, the site of their formation. One of the el its most ded for cell manufacture is iron and, where there is a lack of iron-con- taining foods in the diet, anemia always results. A lack of vitamin C may be a factor, A deficiency of thyroid also makes for anemia, as does cirrhosis of the liver. One of the most severe of all anemias, that termed pernicious, is due to lack of a substance found in liver and liver extracts. Chemical poisoning the poison formed by germs and X-ray radi- ation, can. all damage the bone marrow so severely as to interfere with its ability to make red cells. In addition to all of these varied causes of anemia, there aré a num- ber of others which are not too well understood, such as that which brings about aplastic anemia in which the blood-forming organs do not function. It is sound medical advige and it is important for everyone to have the blood studied once or twice a year to determine whether or not anemia is present. If there is a les- sening of the red blood cells, the first step is to determine, if pos- sible, what is producing the condi- tion, Obviously, if it is due to bleed- ing, the source of the hemorrhage must be stopped. If the condition is due to a lack of something in the WHAT SHOULD J] DO ABOUT» Attire for Summer Weddings? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My wedding is to take place in June, early afternoon, in an Ontario city. My wedding gown will be full- length white organdy, trainless. We are having great difficulty in deter- mining what the men in the wed- ding party should wear. They do not wish to wear regular formal day-attire, either cutaway coats or Oxford jackets. Do you think it woulG be proper, appropriate, for the men to wear summer flannels with white linen jockets? We ... think that this would be most com- fortable and cool, and in keeping with the general over-all wedding scheme. White suits for the men in the wedding party . . . white linen suits or of any other cool material .. . . are, ¥ think, the perfect solution for your afternoon wedding in June. White suits have become increas- ingly popular for summer weddings, and now are very often worn, not only a informal summer weddings, but very often too at large and formal summer weddings when the bride may wear a dress with a long train and a bridal veil. And in that beautiful city in which you are to be married, they would be per- fect, and in charming harmony with your summery white organdy wed- ding dress. These white suits de- serve their popularity . .. for they are cool and cool-looking, and men find them most comfortable. As summer wedding attire white suits are the fashionable successors of the blue (or gray) coat with white flannel trousers. Regretting Wedding Invitation on card Enclosed Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Enclosed in a wedding invitation we have just received there is a card and an addressed, stamped envelope. If we agr not able to accept this invitation, how and what should I write on the card? E.W. If on the card is engraved the reply you are to check . .. for ex- ampe¢, "We will attend" or "We cannot attend," or a similar phras- ing . . . you simply cross off the prrase that does not apply to you, and sign the card. But if a plain card is enclosed, you write: : Mr. and Mrs. William = Wilson regret that they are unable to accept the very kind invitation of Mr. and Mrs. Bryant for Tuesday, the twelfth of June.

It must be remembered that at certain times of life, such as in- fancy, the maturing period, preg- nancy, and in breast feeding, there may be a need for an increased amount of iron-containing foods in the diet. The iron may be substi- tuted in the form of- various drugs. Liver extract, vitamin B-12, and folic acid are useful in the treat- ment of anemias of various types. 'QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS / Mrs, O. M.: My fingers break out in small watery blisters. Could you tell me the cause for this? Answer :This condition may be due to a form of ringworm infec- tion. In many cases of athlete's foot, toxin formed by the parasites may be carried to other parts of the body, producing the type of rash you describe. However, the condition might also be due to sensitivity to substances with which the hands come in contact. An examination by the physician is needed to find the exact cause before treatment can be suggested.
