WEDNESDAY, 'JE 6, 1951 THE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE ~AGE SEVERN BEAUTY FOR YOU:- Foundation Garments Give Style By HELEN For centuries, physicians cried down the corset. It compressed the waistline and had a devitalizing ef- | fect upon the foundation garment, whichis an entirely different gar- ment. When those old steel-riveted, double-turreted affairs were cast into the furnaces, women became emancipated, as far as dress is con- cerned. Besides aiding posture, founda- tion garments serve several other purposes. They control the figure and mold it, comfortably redistrib~ uting the flesh to more attractive proportions and measurements. | They supplement the muscles, help- | ing the healthy figure to retain muscle tone, and providing support for muscles that have relaxed. Mpscles have some of the char- actéristics of ealstic. When they become weakened, they lose elastic- ity--and with it their ability to per- form their supporting function--just as a worn out pfece of elastic has lost its "give". A correctly fitted corset will sup- port weakened abdominal muscles and hold the digestive motors in place. That is why these garments should not be selected casually. An | experienced corsetiere can do wond- | ers in correcting. figure defects. { Without harm, it is possible to eontrol and hold the flesh at the waistline, the back, the breasts; also at underarm areas, hips and thighs. Support, of course, is needed for the breasts; and this support must not be constricting. Often, though many models are offered for selection, al- terations may be necessary. The] féminine form varies. Once the abdomen is flattened and the small of the back is straight- ened, via proper corsetry, the pattern for correct posture is set. The upper portion of the body is | naturally raised when the abdomen | JAMESON ry JPET / mae pniit! The medical profession now ap- proves of the foundation garment, > » 9 is neatly restrained.

The lady of fashion who has a reputation as a smart dresser can give thanks to the foundation, for, without it, her figure is not likely to be trim and neat, no matter how slender it may be. WHAT SHOULD 1 DO ABOUT {SLIGHTLY APPEASED Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS .. Hollywood (AP) - Mack Sennett, longtime king of comedy, said to- day that television's laughs are not up to par. "As a comedy medium, television has yet to find itself," said the native of Danville, Que., a film veteran. '"Today's television reminds me of the stage the movies were in when I was in burlesque many years ago. At that time, the burl- esque houses would put on movie clips between the shows so the theatre would be cleared out. They were called chasers. . . . Sennett said he is amused by the excessive use on television of pie- throwing, that form of humor Which originated in his productions. And he is impressed by some of the new comics, notably Sid Caesar. But comic values are not fully real- ized on T.V. he added . "You can't just get together a few hours before the show and whip up a skit and expect it to be fully of belly - laughs." PUT ON FILM Sennett said T. V. will not be- come a comedy medium until the shows are first put on film. "You can't tell what is going to be funny until you see it,"' he reas- oned. "If you photograph it and im- provise your gags and cut the final version to take out the dull spots, then you can achieve the ultimate in laughs." ' The producer has resisted offers for the use of his films on T-V. He has a great many comedies with such figures as Charlie Chaplin, W. C. Fields and Bing Crosby. "I'm in no hurry to sell," Sen- nett said. 'I don't believe televis- ion will come of age until some system is perfected to 'pay as you see.' People want to see the best movies on T. V., but it is not econ- omically possible now. HATFIELD, Hertfordshire, Eng- | land--(CP)--Residents complained |to an aircraft company that planes were making too much noise.

BUNDESEN, M.D. FORM OF BALDNESS ONE of the strangest forms of baldness is known as alopecia areata, in which the hair suddenly begins to fall out in coin-sized patches without any apparent cause. This condition seems to occur as often in women as in men, though the location of the bald patches differs in the two sexes. In boys and men these bald patches occur mostly on the back of the head, while the reverse is true with wom- en and girls, The cause of this disorder is not known, though many physicians be- lieve that it is due to a virus, In any event, experiences teaches that the baldness usually appears follow- | ing some mental shock or acute anxiety. Infections of the scalp are thought to play only a minor role, if any, in bringing it about and, while about 20 per cent of the cases show a family history of the disease, there is little evidénce that it results from an inherited tend- ency. WHITE PATCHES About five per cent of the people afflicted with a type of baldness also show white patches on the skin due to the destruction of its pig- ment and, in many patients, there are changes in the nails. Most people with this disorder recover but in some--and it is difficult to predict which they will be--it persists until 'there {s a gen- eralized falling of the hair with complete loss of the eyebrows and whitening or loss of the lashes, When this occurs rapidly, the chance for recovery is very slight. This condition is known as alopecia to- talis. However, when the loss of body hair accompanies this disease, it is known as alopecia universalis, and in these cases, it is always per- manent. HEALTH BELOW PAR One form of treatment consists in the use of tonics containing arsenic, iron, and 'cod-liver oil, if In Jhe Comnuuruty has been used. Various Jocal oint- ments also have been suggested. One, consisting of mercuric chlor- ide, chrysarobin with castor oil and" alsohol, has been found to be satis- factory. Alopecia areata should be treated by the physician and it is import- ant to consult him at the first signs of baldness of this type, for he may be able to do much to save the in- dividual from complete and per- manent baldness, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS M.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN $5.00 Value SHAVING BRUSH | EVERY BRIDAL ATTENDANT | Dear Mrs. Beeckman: What is the correct way to eat asparagus? May it be picked up in the fingers? DORIS M. Best to think of asparagus as a fork-food . . . at least partially. With the fork, cut off one mouth- ful at a time of the soft part of the stalk. Conventional people who are fastidious eaters eat as much of the stalk as they can cut off with a fork, and do not take up the stalk in their fingers. But the stalks of the asparagus usually have such a delicious flavor that it seems a shame not to enjoy it, and so, on informal occasions the stem of the asparagus may be taken up in the fingers and eaten . . . as carefully as possible. Warnings: (1) Don't squeeze the stalks too determined- ly; (2) Don't dangle the stalk into your mouth: and (3) Don't let the juice or sauce run down your arm. Hothouse asparagus, canned as- paragus, or any other that has no hard end, is eaten entirely with the fork. When asparagus is served at a dinner party of any formality, the hard ends are cut off, and only the soft, tender parts of the stalk are served. Easy to Budget | sult with the sexton or the minis- | ter as to the suitable locations for PAYS FOR HER OWNCOSTUME Dear Mrs. Beeckman:' | Does the bride-to-be pay for the gowns of her attendants? I am positive that I have read in your column several times that she does not. But a friend of mine insists that she does . . . so will you please | publish the answer soon, so that I can show it to her and convince her? R..D. Each bridal attendant pays for her entire costume , , . even though it is the bride-to-be who plans and erranges for every detail of the cos- tume. (The only exception is the flowers that are to be carried or worn by the attendant . . . these are provided by the bride's family, or by the bride herself.) | CANDLES IN CHURCH AT | EARLY-AFTERNOON WEDDING | Dear Mrs. Beeckman: | 1. At my early-afternoon (3 o'- clock) wedding in church, is it cor- | rect to use lighted candles? (2) Also is it correct to use them at the reception in my home imme- diately after the ceremony? (3) Should my mother remove her hat when she comes from the church | to our home, to receive the guests | at the reception?--C.S.W. | (1) Yes, candles are appropriate for a church wedding, seem always to "belong." But you should con placing the candles, particularly at that early-hour of the afternoon when there may be a problem about the combination of candle- light and sunlight, (2) Yes, if you shut out the day- light . . . particularly in the room in which the table is set for the serving of the tea-menu or other afternoon refreshments. (3) As hostess of the wedding reception in her own house, your mother may, if she wishes, take off her hat when she arrives at home from the church. However, if she plans to wear a small, pert wisp-of-a-hat, very light and airy, so fashionable and so easy to wear, she may properly decide to wear it during the reception, as a detail that effectively comnvletes the har- mony of her costume. Say "Navy-Blue" . . . Not "Navy" Navy-blue is always such a fa- vorite color, and this season such a particularly important shade that it deserves to be called by its proper name , . . NAVY-BLUE. We should NOT refer to it as "navy". Correct: "The groom's mother wore a beautiful dress of navy- blue chiffon." Incorrect: "The groom's mother wore a beautiful dress of navy chiffon."

A custard is simply milk thickened with egg yolks. (The whites can be saved to make meringue, frostings, angel cake, etc.) The eggs and sugar should be beaten together, the warm milk poured over them; then ladle the mixture into custard cups for baking. A smooth, firm custard is the result of baking in a constant, low-temperature oven un- til the mixture can be' cut with a silver knife which comes out clean. BAKED CUSTARD 1 quart milk . 5 egg yolks, slightly beaten 14 cup sugar 14 tsp. salt 1; tsp. vanilla 1% tsp. nutmeg X Beat egg yolks slightly and com- bine with sugar, salt, Pour the scalded milk into egg mix stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add van- illa and nutmeg. Arrange custard cups in a pan containing inch of water then pour mixture into them, Bake in preheated electric oven of 325 for 50 to 60 minutes, VARIATIONS: 1. Caramel custard: Caramelize 4 tbsps. of the sugar required in the recipe. Cool a little before adding it to the scalded milk to prevent curdling. 2. Cocoanut custard: Place a table- spoon of shredded cocoanut in each cup hefore pouring in the mixture. 3. Grapenut custard: Add a half cup # grapenuts to a quart casserole custard before baking. 4. Coffee custard: Combine 2 cups strong coffee and 2 cups milk as the liquid in basic recipe. 5. Chocolate custard: Add ': cup grated baking chocolate and 1 tbsp. sugar to basic egg-sugar mixture. 6. Fruit custard: Add a few pieces of cooked fruit to each custard cup before baking. SOFT CUSTARD 3 egg yolks 14 cup sugar 1 tsp. salt 2 cups milk 1 tsp. grated lemon Beat eggs yolks slightly and add sugar, lemon and salt. Scald milk and slowly pour into eggs, stirring constantly over boiling water. Cook until mixture coats a silver spoon. or fold in stiffly beaten egg whites ¥ MOCHA SOUFFLE 3 tbsps. butter 3 tbsps. flour 14 cup milk 3 cup coffee 4 egg yolks cup sugar tsp. vanilla egg whites 1 ts. salt Melt butter and 'blend in. the flour. Stir in the milk and coffee and cook until thick. Beat egg yolks and sugar until creamy, add- ing the sauce slowly to these ingre- dients., Cook over electric ele- ment turned Low until thick. Add vanilla and .cool. Whip egg whites with salt until stiff. Bake the souffle in a 7 inch casserole, in an electric oven at 325 degrees for about 35 minutes. Serve at once with cream or whipped cream. THE QUESTION BOX Mrs, J. A, asks: Whether it is necessary to always bake souffles? Answer: No, a good result may be obtained by steaming in a greased 2 quart double boiler over (not in) bolling water for about three-quarters of an hour. Invert the souffle onto a hot plate. Mrs. S. R, asks: Why do I en- counter trouble making puddings with an electric mixer? Answer: Puddings should be lighter and better made with an electric mixer. Here are a few rules: Whip egg whites at high speed. Whip egg yolks at medium spfed. Whip gelatine mixtures that are nearly set at. medium speed Whip snow puddings and similar desserts after all ingredients are combined at high speed until the mixture holds its shape. 1, 2 4 Anne Allan invites you to write to her care of this. paper.
