PAGE EIGHT " _ THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1947 BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Your Hands and Your Personality By HELEN JAMESON There is much difference in hands, both in form and behaviour, Some are calm and reserved; others are jittery, dlways on .the move Some have an ance of strength and usefulness; others are soft, pudgy and inert. Have you ever noticed? It is fun, really. The game will sharpen your powers of observation. Incidentally, it will make you wonder just what sort of an impression your hands make, That standards of beauty change with the years is evident. Once the little dimpled hand was considered a good-looks item, Now it is the interesting, capable hand that heads the list. Years ago it took a woman ten minutes to put on her gloves because they were skin-tight, Now look at what the women wear! Gloves slip on and off in a jiffy. The same thing has happened with shoes. If a woman couldnt pack her tootsies into a number four she was ashamed of her feet{, Now a number seven shoe is considered average. An artist will tell you that bone construction, line and curve deter- mine the hand's beauty of outline, and that graceful pose is an import- ant element. By that is not meant the affected "ladylike" pose, but na- tural grace and animagion, Large hands with overdeveloped knuckles, and those with discolored surfaces, advertise their defects when glittering jewels are worn. So it is with vivid nail polish, When hands do not qualify for good-looks laurels, they should be made as in- conspicuous as possible. It often happens that hands aren't alike. The right one, being the work hand, may be larger, may not be as white and smooth of sur- face as the left. If yours are like that, don't let the matter fret you; there are many women in like cir- cumstances. Just be a little more generous when applying the mas- sage cream to the working member. The shaping of the fingernail contributes to the good or ill looks et ese Ca Graceful hand movements are de- pendent upon flexible wrists. * rb of the hands. Long, pointed nails on a short, plump little hand are out of the picture. They should be oval, to conform to the curves of the fingers and complete a harmon- ious pattern. Graceful movements are depend- ent upon the flexibility of the wrist. If your wrists feel bound and awkward, give them a vigorous mas- sage, then do a few simple exercis- es, Hold the palms downward and wave bye-bye. Hold them down, then turn up slowly, back again and repeat. While doing this, keep the fingers curled, petal like.

Baron Takakimi Mitsui, 51 year-old head of the once-power- ful Mitsui family enterprises, now lives in a four-room frame house in a corner of his estate, All his assets have been frozen.

'The price she is going to pay. will be the loss of her sense of personal glamor, which women who never see themselves untidy always seem to have, Women who have this sense of glamor manage to tackle the grub- blest tasks without sacrificing any portion of it, but they usually dress for the part. That dress, however, is not any old relic, plucked from a closet; nor are those shoes just any old slippers from which a few more wearings can be salvaged. Housedresses Functional housedresses -- and enough of them for needed changes --can a woman through her grimiest chores looking tidy. Clothes designed for housework--and ditto shoes--can even speed her through her tasks and give her more leisure time in which she can settle down to the serious business of making herself What's more, the woman who tightens upon habits of dress at home looks better than her sloppy neighbor when she goes out. Since she doesn't have to start from scratch, she looks better groomed than the woman does who has had more than a little trouble pulling herself together.

BUNDESEN, M.D. BODY MAKES PROTEINS STEAK {is wonderful food, yet, it it could be reduced to a solu. tion and injected into your veins, it would make you very, very sick indeed. The reason is that the human body is very fussy about its proteins, It must make (its own and make them in its own way by its own special chemical process, It takes the protein food you eat--food such as milk, meat, eggs, and whole-grain cereals -- and breaks it down into its basic parts. The body then re-arranges these parts of food, often referred to as building blocks, which chemists call amino acids, into the various proteins which it must have for life and function, Lack of Protein In the past, doctors seeking to help those suffering from lack of proteins have been handicapped because in such cases the defi- ciency is often so great that fit simply isn't possible io eat en- ough food to overcome the defi- ciency, Even if it were, certain digestive disturbances may keep proteins from being taken up from the bowel, as so often hap- pens in severe diarrhoea, ulcera- tive colitis, or failure of the pan- creas to secrete enough of its ne- cessary juice, Recently, however, chemists have learned how to manufacture amino acids in the laboratory and this has given doctors a wonder- ful weapon not only to combat protein deficiencies, but also to supply extra amounts af times when they are especially needed. Increased protein is necessary during high fever, when large wounds are present, from which sizable amounts of blood serum can escape, and when a great deal of albumen is being excreted from the kidney because of a kidney disease known as nephrosis. In this disorder treatment with ami- no acids is of special value. Of First Importance Not only this, but the whole role of proteins in the nutrition of the body has been shown to be of first importance. According to Dr. Howard C, Hopps of Oklaho- ma a deficiency of protein is an important cause for the slow heal- ing of wounds and when amino acids are given in such cases, hea- ling is much quicker and more sure, Injuries to the liver as a result of various poisons may be prevented in part by the giving of large amounts of proteins. There are a number of amino acid preparations available which may be given by mouth under the doctor's direction. . Certain of them may also be administered by injection into a vein. In such cases the injection must not be given too rapidly as this may re- sult in sickness to the stomach, flushing, a sensation of heat and perhaps mild pains in the mus- cles. However, these symptoms last only a short time and are not serious, The amino acid mixture may also be administered through a tube which has been passed through the mouth into the first part of the small intestine, when severe diarrhea is present, The solution is rapidly absorbed from this part of the bowel. Amino acid mixtures have found an important place in the treatment of a variety of condi- tions and the physician will pre- scribe the proper preparation when neded, Daring Costumes Not So Glamorous New York--ILet's take a look at women dancing, as the girl in the bandstand does, and see if any of her criticisms of their dress and be- havior apply to us. "Romancing on the dance floor is the worst violation of lady-like be- havior and the revealing decolletage is the worst violation of good taste in dress," says Dardanelle Brecken- ridge. As the plano-vocalist of the famed "Dardanelle Trio" which has played for dancers all over the U. 8. and ourrently entertains at a swank New York supper room, Dardanelle claims she's viewed an eyeful across her keyboard. In her opinion, backed up by a lot of looking on, cover-up gowns clothe a @al more engagingly than duds hey reveal startling expanses of 11 "The most anatomy = revealing dress I ever had," Dardanelle said, describing midriff, "met with such from the boys in the band that I|. had to give the gown away." Embarrassed Partner She's noticed, she says, that the man on the dance floor who isn't embarrassed by his partner's too- revealing dress has to be a pretty rugged guy. What she's noticed about women who are daringly dressed is that they lack the self-assurance or poise that girls have who wear more discreet necklines and covered mid- riffs. Dresses for dancing should be /| full-skirted enough for action, says the musician, who thinks that fig- ure-plastering gowns can't take either the glides of a waltz or the wriggles of the rhumba without making the girls who wear them conspicuous. As for behavior, Dardanelle thinks there's a place for romancing but that it isn't the dance floor. "Nor is the dance floor the place for a woman to talk a man's ear off," says the girl who has seen a lot of that. Dardanelle claims she's watched 50 many men struggling to avoid a head-on collision with corsages that there ought to be a law which rules that flowers should be worn in a woman's hair, or pinned te her handbag, or left on the table while she's dancing. ------------------------ LEAVES ROMANIA Bucharest.--Queen Mother Helen of Romania left: Romania for the first time since the end of the war when she left by plane for Geneva where the queen's sister, Princess Jrene of Greece, is reported to be - GLAMORIZING -- Walk Toward Your Beauty Goal By HELEN FOLLETT Why not walk toward your beau- ty goal? That's a good way to get there. ' Walking is an excellent exercise. Not tedious like calesthenics, Much more interesting because it appeals to the mind and the spirits. It puts ginger in your heels, roses in your complexion, is precisely and exactly what the beauty doctor orders. Get out your seven league boots and hoof it. If the air is misty so much the better for your skin. No dawdling, no sauntering, no stop- ping to chin-chin with every neigh- bor you happen to meet. Keep right on going. You should be able to clip off three miles comfortably, even if you have not been accus- tomed to exercise. You'll be doing your musculature a favor, your di- gestive motors will be pleased, be- cause they will be better able to carry on their work. Circulatory streams will hustle nourishment to every cell of your svelte shape. A Solid Foothold Maintain a solid foothold, but en- deavor to put spring in your steps. Keep the chest lifted, head balan- ced, see that the spinal column is held full length, no lazy kinks in it. You should soon have a highly en- ergized feeling. Lap up the fresh air. Pull it into your lungs. Breathe rhythmically, taking a deep inhala- tion for several steps, exhaling for several steps. Keep ankles and knees firm. Do not throw the ap- per fortion of the body forward. Hip swinging is to be deplored. To indulge in that bad habit is to turn out the toes which should never be done if the tendons of the feet are to remain normal. Anyhow, it isn't pretty. Let the arms swing easily. The entire body should have freedom of movement, but all movements should be brisk and graceful if one is to reap the full benefit of this delightful exercise. Screen star Marguerite Chapman gets her daily quota of fresh air, * + WP Some women avoid walking be- cause they wear the wrong kind of shoes. Their little dogs are cramp- ed and miserable, Fallen arches and slumped spirits are likely to strike up a partnership. No woman can be truly attractive unless she is comfortable. - Fashion Flashes RHUMBA RUFFLES, scores of them, each narrow tier edged with black Val-type lace, adds charm to the full skirt of a lovely white or- gandie evening dress. In contrast to the frilly skirt, the high-necked, wide-sleeved top is done in simple shirtwaist style buttoned high with brilliants. * +b THE BIG LINE in Spring millin- ery seems to be the rolled brim on hats that are worn far off the face. Shiny black Swiss braid makes a rolled brim breton trimmed with a plume that swirls over the brim to the shoulder in back. LR BE A BIG NAVY season is what it looks like from here, what with navy suits and coats and scads of navy accessories. Navy blue calf- skin makes a smart bag, a pouch with split cape treatment to give a soft look, each section saddle- stitched in white. Mounted in a gold plated triple-arched frame. "MITT ME", say pretty hands for evening, as beautiful evening mitts make a Spring appearance. Velvety black doeskin is used for long mitts made with covered thumb and a garland of seed pearl embroidery at the base of the fingers. LR INTERIOR DECORATION this Spring will be prettier than ever, now that fine silk sheers are back. Delicate pink silk sheer is used for the long robe of a beautiful ensem- ble. The coat has a double bertha collar of finely pleated silk sheer edged in matching satin which is the fabric used for the nightgown. Sewn has a high waist and Empire ce.

Gem-studded spectacles take the place of jewelry in a costume or echo the glitter of a rhinestone bracelet or necklace.

Gold nailheads stud plastic frames to whoop up the glamor of. the girl who's able, thanks to smart design, to play her little joke on nature, One designer of spectacular spec- tacles promises to match or har- monize glasses with the color of any costume. Going one step farther, he matches frames with earrings and bracelets made of the same multi- color, carved plastic. The most recent newcomer, how- ever, to make a bid for a girl's ward- robe of spectacles is an eyeglass frame of black and white striped lucite designed to match the print of her dress.

Persistent Care Brings Results t and intelligent care of necessary if the coiffure a treat to the eye this The trend in hair styling is more wearable coiffures. It is based on a new easy-to-manage length and weight of hair, striking complete versatility. A girl need no longer bend to fashion, but can fol- low the style which makes the most of herself alone. Hair stylists now take into consideration your face, figure, personality and the life you Unless the scalp is kept scrupu- lously clean and in a healthy condi- tion you cannot expect to have shining, glossy, manageable hair, It is entitled to a little petting and will pay you by keeping lustrous if you brush it faithfully each night. trust its cutting and shaping to expert, understanding hands only. To keep it in perfect shape you should have it cut a very little every | three weeks or so. Have it sham- pooed and set every week or ten days, depending on its condition. Scalp conditions are frefuently de- ceiving. You might think you have a dry scalp when you actually have an oily condition. The ends of the hair can be brittle and dry and the scalp oily. If your scalp feels oily one to three days after your sham- poo you have an excessively oily condition. Other indications are dry, brittle ends, dandruff, temple hair be coming sparse and the hair color fading. Sometimes the entire length of the halr becomes greasy feeling and looking. Do not shampoo oftener than once in several weeks if you have an oily scalp. Clean with a special astringent tonic for oily scalps be- tween shampoos, Try to dry your hair by hand if possible. Get plenty of sleep and avoid worry or nervous strain. Refrain from eating rich fried food, pastries and sauces and drink plenty of fresh water be- tween meals. Instead of attempting an intricate hairdo, put your spare moments on scalp massage. It pays a grand div- idend. Diet Deficiencies Are Fatal to Beauty Too many women watch nails grow brittle, skin become ex- cessively dry or hair lose its crackle and luster without thinking of cop- ing with these problems at their source. All three of these symp- toms point suspiciously to a dietary deficiency, and particularly to lack of essential proteins, minerals and vitamins, Sometimes the too-dry skin may point to a thyroid condition. The need for specifics to supply a calcium deficiency way be indicated by brittle nails. In any case, such warning should be heeded, and the wise girl will ask her doctor to take over. While the doctor is taking over, she can use her face creams, nail lubricants and hair conditioners to good advantage. Brown-Eyed Jurors Lucky in Essex Co. The method of picking brown- eyed jurors, claimed by Jchn J. Robinette, K.C., as a help in free- ihg Evelyn Dick, is nothing new in Essex County, officials here claim. Bernard 'H. Furlong, K. C, for one, maintains that his jurors in the Kennedy trial last May were picked for their brown eyes, too. Charles Kennedy, charged with killing Russell Gammon in Essex in December, 1945, was acquitted, too. WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT -- Who Speaks First on Meeting? By : The Woman Speaks First Dear Mrs. Beeckman: The following question has, for certain reasons, caused quite a dis- pute, and we would very much ap- preciate your answering it for us. The woman who is the owner of an apartment building meets, in the entrance-hall of the building, a man who rents a room in an apart- ment in the building. Which one oud have been expected to speak b ¢ *W. A. The woman. The rule is that when a man and a woman meet on the street or in a public place like the entrance-hall of an apartment building, it is the woman's privilege to be the first to acknowledge the acquaintanceship. She Should "Meet" the Guest of Honor Dear Mrs. Beeckman: The other day I went to a very large tea given in honor of a '"visit- ing celebrity." Since I arrived quite late, I guess everyone had been in- troduced to the guest of honor, and she and the hostess were not stand- ing together, as I imagine they had been during" the first part of the tea-party. 80 I was not introduced to the guest of honor and I didn't make any effort to be introduced, thinking that it certainly wouldn't make any difference to such an im- portant person that I was not in- troduced to her! But when I came home and the family asked about my meeting her, I said I hadn't met her. Mother was horrified and said I was very rude not to have asked for an introduction to the guest of honor. Was I so discourteous? Marie Your mother is right. Since you had been given the honor of re- ceiving an invitation to "meet" the guest of honor, it was socially im- rortant that you meet her. For you not to have brought this introduc- tion about was rude and crude. You could have explained to your host- ess that you had not met her guest of honor and asked her for an in- troduction, "I am sorry I arrived so late. Am I too late to have the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Kendall?" Or if your hostess were at that moment busy at some distance from the guest of honor, you might have introduced yourself to the guest of honor. Junior Usher for Junior Bridesmaid? Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am the oldest daughter in the family, and am to be married this Spring. I would like very much to tiave my 13-year-old sister in my wedding party, but since she is too young to be a bridesmaid, I would like to know if it would be proper to have her as a junior bridesmaid. If so, may I also have a junior ush- er? And if this is correct, whom do they precede in the recessional? L. 8. Your 13-year-old sister may be a h ol ii 'ith preceding 4 e process! either or directly following the pairs of bridesmaids. It isn't necessary or effective or customary to have a junior usher as a "partner" for the Junior bridesmaid. In the recessional she would walk alone, either direct- ly preceding or following the pairs of bridesmaids. The Toast to the Bride and Bride- groom Dear Mrs, Beeckman: the reception toast is proposed to 'the bride and bridegroom, (1) do they rise, and (2) do they drink to the toast? This question came up at a party recent- ly, and I think I read that it is "no" to both questions. Am I right? am taking part soon in a formal wedding, and I would like to be sure about this.) K. AP You are right. . .the answer is "no" to both questions, When the best man (it usually is the best man who proposes the toast) rises, raises his glass and proposes a toast "To the bride and bridegroom", all (ex- cept the bride and bridegroom) rise and drink the toast. When they have drunk the toast and taken their seats, the bridegroce rises and expresses thanks for his bride and himself. (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions on What Should I Do? submited by readers.) Greet the Spring With a New Face Here's good news for beauty-con- scious women -- and if you're not beauty-conscious you should be! It's a post-war development in make- up--a cross between a cake and a powder, It tints the skin beauti- fully, covers tiny imperfections, re- quires no foundation cream, and re- putedly stays on five to eight times as long as face powder. Career girls, who haven't time to mess around with water and fingertip blending, will find it especially "smooth." HELP BUILD UP RED BLOOD TO GET MORE' STRENGTH If your blood LACKS IRON!
