GIRL'S BOLERO 'CHILD GUIDANCE Three Chief Causes Named For Accidental Poisonings + "Somebody wasn't carefull enough' could be said of acciden-| | tal poisoning of babies. | | So say two pediatricians, Dr.| |Gordon D. Jensen and Dr. Wes-| ley W. Wilson in a recent issue| lof the Journal of the American | Academy of Pediatrics. STUDY MADE They had studied 100 cases I By G. CLEVELAND MYERS | | which babies and children, |'ally poisoned, 82 of them were | between one and two years of |age. The studies were based on | cases reported to a Poison Centre| | in Seattle. | | The doctors found three causes, § [of poisoning: | il 1. Some other person was in- 'volved in the accident. | 2. The parents didn't suppose| their children could get hold of the poison. OUT OF ITS PLACE | 3. The poison was not kept in |its usual place. | In the first cause, the other person was a brother, sister, | | playmate or careless adult. | Sometimes an older child un- screwed a bottle of weed killer. é [insecticide or similar substance and measured out a "dose of medicine' for the little one to take. Or an adult had failed to put away a cleaning substance. | shoe polish, paint thinner or other dangerous material and the in- . aint girls and 56 boys, were acciden-( Dione. found aspirin left out of its place and ate it. ASPIRIN POISONING Aspirin was the greatest single poisoner--24 cases. . Just three children had ob- tained it from a medicine chest; the others got it from mother's purse, off a window sill, table or telephone stand. Next greatest poisoner was thinner; third, poisonous fourth, insecticides. Twenty-six of the 100 accidents were of this sort. . Under the second cause, par- ents supposed the poison was out of the youngster's reach if they kept it up high, in closed bottles or hidden in purses. Yet this did not prevent 31 little children from getting the poison. Under the third cause, 53 poi- sonings oecurred when older us- ers of medicines or poisons failed to put them back in their regular places. "Thirty - eight children," the doctors said, '"'were able to pick Blames Salesladies For Distressing Fit Of Bras, Girdles By EDNA BLAKELY Canadian Press Staff Writer TORONTO (CP) -- Verna Com- ings, stylist for a girdle and bra company, estimates that half the women she deals with are wear- ing ill - fitted, uncomfortable lingerie though their outer cloth- ing may fit perfectly. And she puts the blame largely on the sales people, not the cus- tomer. "If a custcmer is shy to ask for advice it's hecause the sales- girl makes her feel that way." A native of Belleville, Ont, Miss Comings started in the busi- and I are amazed that they as- sume nothing else can be done enough to climb, creep or toddle.

Later she was a buyer in Regina, then left for the United States where she ran schools for merchandis- ing and sales help. She returned to Canada as a buyer for a chain of Ontario stores and has held her present {job with Peter Pan Foundations (Que.) Inc. for the last 10 years. LINGERIE HISTORY When she began selling lingerie the nipped - in waist was the fashion. "The garments gave you a nipped-in waist all right, but they made you look hippy and busty." This was followed by the flat loo: which made everyone look like a block. "In those days everything was pink. It wasn't until later that we got white." for the safety of the child big Advertisements used to de- scribe the pink as flesh color, tea rose, nude or peach. Under- | clothing now comes in black and {many pastel shades as well as | white. {FRENCH BRA | A Second World War shortage was responsible for introduction of the French bra. Because elas- tic was hard to obtain, the | French model which laced up the back became popular. These are museum pieces now, Miss Com- ings said. "All the control was from the straps and women's shoulders were ridged from he weight." She says a properly fitted bra contrulled under the bustline @ through the hack. The back [fastening should fit below he shoulder blades.

CW-131. Church Embroidery Fills Her Free Time CONESTOGO, Ont. (CP) -- Among women who do embroid-| ery, Mrs. Marvin C. Stroh, 73, is a specialist. For 35 years she has been] spending every minute of her free time embroidering para- ments for Lutheran churches, 1] Paraments are the cloths that cover the pupil, lectern and al- tar as well as the minister's stole. Churches may have as many as four sets, white, violet, red and green, for the four sea-| sons of the church calendar. f It takes Mrs. Stroh 2'% months | of painstaking labor to work Christian symbols into each set. The church's pastor usually chooses the symbols from a book on ecclesiastical art published by the United Lutheran Publication House, | The {illustrations are just about | postage stamp size so Mrs. Stroh copies them freehand to the| proper dimensions, then sets to work with single strands of em-| broidery floss tu apply such de signs as crosses, palms and crowns of thorns. Assembling the materials for her work is often a problem. The| heavy silk brocade which costs $18 a yard must be brought a from New York. She refuses to use anything but real silk floss which must come from Quebec. | The gold fringe is purchased from a regalia company. | PRINTED PATTERN 4688 SNAPPY-WRAP By ANNE ADAMS Look bright and beautiful for breakfast and after in this snappy wrap princess.

This became apparent Monday in showings of fall clothes by the New York Couture Group for 230 visiting fashion editors. With the soft, liquid, languid and low-waisted ensemble a shoo- in for dominant silhouette, along came Jane Derby with deter- minedly controlled oval skirts, Oleg Cassini with figure-hugging sheaths, and the Marquis collec- tion with an almost exclusive pre- occupation with leather and fur. sists. There is even a knee-length girdle which has been designed for slims, Miss Comings say women need the moulding that a girdle gives. SITDOWN VARIETY "A girdle should be long en- ough to sit in," she says, adding that many women who com- plained that their girdles rode up bought a shorter model when they really needed a longer one. Although it depends on the dividual, most girls should begin wearing a bra at 11, she says. The natural rounded bustline with a well - controlled waistline is the fashion and that's why basques are so popular now, Miss Comings says. In keeping THE OSHAWA TIMES, , Wednesday, July 20, 1960 § Mrs. Derby called her outline of rounded, tapered skirt below| a narrow bodice "the ninepin| silhouette." She made wide use of the double skirt, flaring either as a tunic over a slim slip or set |over a slightly narrower slip for |a ti-red effect. Other skirts were | completely round and imagina- | tively draped. : Other Derby winners were a pin: satin damask evening coat over a satin sheath in the dark purple of eggplant, and beaded, brocaded tunic dresses that ended nine inches above the floor. In the Marquis collection, de- signed by Philippe Tournaye, the animal kingdom was given top billing, LOTS OF FUR A coat of Australian o'possum ha" a basque green lining to match its dress. A three-quarter Burgundy greatcoat was lined with Norwegian fox to keep warm the matching nubby wool crepe dress under it. A full-length ante- lop> suede coat was trimmed with fisher. There were white mink ascots, and trimmings and jgtoles of sable, chinchilla and nutria lavished on coats, suits and costumes. The offerings of Igor Cassini hadn't a single sequin or pearl, fur or embroidery. | "1 still believe in a thing called| 'line'," he said, and demonstrated | what he meant with a series of Victoria Woman Leading Contendet: In Marksmanship 7 By STEWART MacLEOD Canadian Press Staff Writer BISLEY, England (CP) -- z Victoria newspaper woman began shooting nie years with her kid brother, "and of kept it up," has joined elite Queen's Hundred.
