14 'THE OSHAWA TIMES, Seturdey, April 3, 1965 JO'S JOURNAL | BY JO ALDWINCKLE Women's Editor of The Times ! 'Without doubt the most dynamic woman I have ever met was Madam Helena Rubinstein and I write "was" sad- ily. The news of her death was announced on Thursday. I 'met her about ten years ago on one of her rare visits to 'Toronto when she received a few members of the press in 'her hotel suite which, I remember, she kept too chilly for 'comfort. Heat, she said, was soporific and desiccating. _ Although some' were held in awe of this Queen of a Cosmetic Empire, I was fascinated by the feminine mysti- | que of this ageless, aristocratic little lady with smooth hair, _deep dark eyes and tiny, fluttering hands, weighted with » rock-line rings and, behind the gracious facade, the shrewd business mind. We took each other's e and we We talk- * ed about all sorts of things and in a strange way that I can still remember, our spirits touched. Here was. no rags to riches story. She had been born of an aristocratic family in _Crakow, Poland, and she told me of her childhood, She came to New York in December, 1917, and I asked her what her first impression had been, with the astounding answer: "The women's white faces and red noses." She was determined to do somethig about it and every woman who powders her face today can thank Helena Ru- binstein for tinted face powder. We embraced when I left and she pressed me to visit her in New York or Paris which I never did and three days later I received by air mail a pair of hand-carved coral ear- | rings with a note in her own enigmatic hand: 'These are over one hundred years old. They were made for a very important lady and I hope you will enjoy wearing them." I shall wear them on the day of her funeral. God Save The King News of the death of Princess Mary, the Princess Royal recalls a childhood misdemeanor. The Princess was to in- spect a county rally of Girl Guides and Brownies and every girl had had instructions to stand at rigid attention until the Princess had passed. Just before she came down my line, one Tenderfoot who shall be nameless, turned to her captain and piped 'Does Princess Mary sing God Save Father?" If she heard it, she didn't smile. An item in The Newcastle Independent of April 1915 echoed happily last night when Mr. and Mrs. Norman Down were honored by the Ebenezer community on the occasion of their golden wedding anniversary. The item reads as follows: "The home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Allin, Manvers road, was the scene of a quiet wedding on Wednesday, April-7, when their daughter, Edna Gertrude, was united in mar- 'riage with Mr. Norman Down, Oshawa. "The bride who was given in marriage by her father looked dainty and girlish in a gown of cream silk crepe and carried a sheaf of white lilies. The ceremony was perform- ed by the Reverend G. R. Clare in the presence of about fifty relatives and friends. The bride's sister, Miss Etta 'played Lohengrin's Wedding March by Wagner. "After partaking of a dainty luncheon the happy couple ieft by the GTR for their new home at Oshawa where the good wishes of their many friends follow them." Mr. and Mrs. Down who are holding open house in their own home on Wednesday, now become members of Ebene- zer's Golden Anniversary Club. Membership in this exclu- sive club is paid in years of faithfulness to duties of home, family, church, community and civic affairs. Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Osborne are charter members and present members are Mr. and Mrs. Walter Pickell and Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Vinson. The late Mr. and Mrs. Russell Gay were also members. Hoked Amorous Dalliance The restoration comedy, "The Provok'd Wife" at Toron- to's Crest Theatre is a real "royster-doyster"', played with high style and sprightly dash in an accommodating black and white setting. The period is 1700 and the language is not always ladylike but--"other days, other 'manners' play's the thing and who are we to moralize? The rapport between the cast and the interjected music make for a com- pact presentation and the satins and ruffles and revealing mecklines are guaranteed to obliterate Selma and Saigon for a couple of hours, gadzooks Director Joseph Shaw has polished this gem by Sir John Vanbrugh and adding to its lustre are Gerard Parkes, Nonnie, Griffin, Mary Barton,.Moya Fenwick, Deborah Turnbull, Gary Files and Paul Craig. Share A Chapeau Nearly every woman has some hats that she loves. but just doesn't wear any more. Somebody needs those hats and needs them now. The Occupational Therapy Department of Ontario Hos- pital wants about two hundred hats that the staff can fresh- en with new veiling or ribbon and flowers for the Spring Bonnet tea for patients next Wednesday at the hospital. This is an urgent, last-minute call. Get out at least one hat and leave it at the White Cross Centre, 187 Simcoe street south, or at the home of Mrs. D. H. Rice, 48 Hillcroft street, or at the Ontario Hospital, Whitby. You may never know the result of this good deed, but knowing that you have shared will add to your Easter happiness. Spring is a provoking jade. She dallies so long in Eng- land that by the time she gets here Summer is already el- bowing her out. One man told me this week that the tulips by his front door grumbled at him as he left for work in a blizzard. Mine have pulled the snow over their heads and gone back to bed. WHICH SHALL IT BE?

This elegant model in white panama with By JO ALDWINCKLE "Oshawa has pretty girls, all right, but they have no sense of style." "T've just come in from King- ston' and I certainly think the young matrons out shopping look better dressed there than they do in Oshawa." "My home is in Montreal. You see advance styles there long before they are seen here and the women and girls are tres chic and clothes conscious." 'These three statements were picked up around town on Thursday afternoon. Are they true? Are Oshawa girls and women careless about their ap- pearance? Do they lack style? A tour of millinery shops and leounters revealed an exciting collection of styles, shapes, colors and creations enough to go to any woman's head and women were looking, trying, se- lecting and buying. COMPLIMENTS DRESS Miss Viola McDougall, a pro- fessional milliner, says women should have a suitable hat ward- robe to compliment their clothes as hats are part of dressing "Most women know what a new hat can do to bolster their confidence and 'self - esteem Some, but not many, have a natural flair for choosing the correct hat. "So many cling to the idea that if they cover up a mature mind with a girlish hat and con- tinue to wear styles meant for the younger set, they will seem young-looking forever. That is a big mistake because hats that are too juvenile in style tend to make the mature woman look older." Dramatic styles soon become outmoded and exotic colors are big news for a short season be- fore being replaced by others equally exciting.

"Hats can do a lot for men too. Have you noticed how dis- tinguished some men look with the right hat?" Miss McDougall gave .a few basic rules in selecting a hat. Proportion, she said was most important. The hat should be as wide as the widest part of the face, or at least give the illusion of width by soft draping or trim, but never over-trimmed. The round-faced type will find hats with irregular brims most flattering. The woman who is broad of figure should not wear wide brims, instead hats with bulk and plenty of height. The long, oval face requires a small hat with width and a bit of height but not too heavy-look- ing. A very wide brim will make a short person appear even shorter. The unusually large woman should be very careful not to enlarge the outline of her head, height is all right if need- Jed and usually is. BRIMS AND BIFOCALS Miss McDougall advised that women who wear eyeglasses should he careful not to cut the profile by wearing too narrow a brim, a brim which turns up or one that extends over the frames. "Every woman's first duty to herself," she said, 'is to use her know-how to achieve a feminine appearance. Most women have become aware that hats can be functional as well as fashionable, whether they are used to cover a wilted hair-do or protect a new coiffure from the elements. Hats therefore, beside protecting her head from the icy blasts of winter and the crowned swathed tulle model in cafe-au-lait with clusters of Johanna Hill roses in deeper coffee shades. scorching heat of summer should flatter her in every pos-| sible way." LA BELLE CANADIENNE The consensus of Millinery Manufacturers is that of all the provinces, Quebec women are aware of. current fashion trends and most willing to adopt a new style. There is also a difference in taste according to population of a city or town, that follows in all provinces. Spring and summer hats modelled at the National Col- lection Hal Show held recently in Montreal, included sailors with very wide brims, rolled brimmed bowlers and high pill- boxes; crushable berets, ideal for travel; softly draped tur- bans of net and organza, high- rolled. Breton sailors, flower hats like small flower gardens for special occasions and Swiss straws with back interest. Colors range from porcelain to cafe-au-lait and mink tone in the neutrals and include apri- cot, coral, magnolia, sea-shell pink, cornflower blue, cool aqua, amber, cloud grey, lemon ice, and lots of white. Miss McDougall cautioned that many women should not wear white as they had not enough color for it. FIRST IMPRESSIONS Attractive dress has been the desire of the human race ever since primitive man _ painted himself with wood and adorned his person with leaves, skins and bones to gain admiration and praise from his tribe. The picture today is not too different. Society quite often judges us not by what we actu- ally are, but by how we appear. Our first impression of people is influenced by the clothes they wear. Other values will eventually be recognized, but this recog- nition comes sooner if the ap- pearance is pleasing and need- less to say, hats have a psycho- logical effect on the wearer BROADLOOM uy to 307 1 ft. of WALL-TO- ALL OR ROOM BROADLOOM 129.00 Including installation end under- pad of your choice, 16 colors to choose from ate mony brand names such os Merd- ing's, Brinton's, Canadian Celanese and others.
