PAGE SIX THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE °' MONDAY, MARCH 17, 1947 BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Make-Up for Older People By HELEN JAMESON Remember way back--oh! you are much too young, but your grandma will recall it--when the middle- aged woman who dared to shear her tresses was considered kitten- ish, if not goofy? Along about that time there prevailed the notion that only the young and the beau- tiful were entitled the privilege of using lipstick. At the age of fifty or thereabouts, a woman was sup- posed to have tco much dignity to resort to cot etic frivolities, Well, my dear children, a lot of water has run under the beauty bridge since then. It is now ordained and approved that any woman less than 100 years old is qualified to run with the pulchritude pack. The lipstick is hers if she uses it deftly. Middle-age brings the wise wo- man to the conclusion that there is no sense in telling lies to herself. She knows how she looks; if she has brains in her head, she isn't going to do anything to make her- self look older. Neither is she going to try to look too young; when she does that little thing, make-up loses its spell. She observes the changes in her . complexion, makes cosmetic changes accordingly. The lovely, youthful blend of cream and peach bloom has long sinée evaporated. Due to the slackening up of the capillaries close to the skin surface, the facial area may assume a pallor that calls for the companionship of the rouge pad. The lips need a wee bit of tint- in When a woman reaches the age of sixty, her skin may assume a delicate, transparent quality, lose the natural creamy tone. In that event, she must find medium shades of rouge and lipstick, use faint, wild-rose coloring on the cheeks, and a tone a few shades darker on the lips. Any vivid applications will throw her out of character, especially if her hair has silvered. A bit of rouge on the eyelids and out over the temples will glorify, and do sweet, mysterious tricks to her halo. There are women with wrinkles-- real ones, not just crinkles--who are improved by the skilful use of make-up. By all the rules of com- mon sense, they shouldn't be.

Have a con- ference with the lady in the looking.{ glass and you will make no mis- takes. As brunettes edge along toward the autumn of life they are likely to be disturbed by the appearance of yellow patches. Sometimes these blemishes can be made less notice- able by applying equal portions of lemon juice and peroxide. If they persist, a wise step is to find a powder several shades darker than the natural skin tone, apply it over a foundation cosmetic that has been frictioned into thc flesh with the fingertips. Rouge should be dark, but with- out a blue cast. The lipstick should belong to the same color family. The Movie Column By RON GADSBY Canadian Press Staff Writer This is the day when three fam- ous Hollywood folk can not only celebrate good St. Patrick's feast day, they can also thank the luck of the Irish for the breaks when the going was tough for them. Irish Alice Faye, Pat O'Brien and Jimmy Dunn all got a helping hand from their national lucky charm. When Alice was a chorus girl in New York 15 years ago she went to a party where everyone recorded his voice on the host's new record- ing machine. When it was her turn she couldn't think of anything to say so she sang a snatch of song. Rudy Vallee, the era's favorite band leader, heard if and hired her on the spot to sing with his band. Pat O'Brien's lucky break was .even more unusual. A Hollywood producer casting the screen version of "The Front Page," called his New York agent to get him a vaguely-described actor to play the star part of Hildy Johnson. The agent rushed Pat O'Brien out to Hollywood where the producer looked at him in surprise and said, "The fellow I wanted was Lee Tracy." But since O'Brien was there he was tested and he got the role. Jimmy Dunn had a series of bad breaks before his Irish luck caught up with him. He had been labelled "finished" by Hollywood until he walked into a restaurant one day where the producer of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" was eating his lunch and warrying about whom to get to play Johnny Nolan. He saw Dunn and to the producer he look- ed like Nolan. Later Dunn won an Academy Award for his performance in the role. There's nothing like the luck o' the Irish!

A Physican Advises You By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. TREATMENT of more thay 1,000 cases of pneumonia without a single fatality at U.S. Naval Hospital, Great Lakes, Illinois, during the | war, points the way to a life-saving routine of handling those sick of this serious ailment. Dr. Gordon J. Kaske of the US. Navy Medical Corps in reporting on these cases, contrasts the results obtained when patients were treat- ed with sulfadiazine alone and when the sulfonamide drug was used in connection with penicillin. When the two drugs were used to- gether, the patient's recovery was much more rapid than when either was used alone. The Treatment Given After this fact was established, the following treatment was given: Penicillin was given by injection into the muscle as soon as a diag- nosis of pneumonia was made and then continued every three hours until recovery took place. Mean- while sulfadiazine was also given at four-hour intervals. If the white blood cell count fell too low, sulfadiazine was discon- tinued. If the patient had a high temperature or signs of lack of water in the body, a solution of salt and, sugar was given into a vein, Shortness of Breath In those cases in which there were cyanosis, shortness of breath and rapid pulse, oxygen treatment was carried out. The proper drug was employed for relieving severe pain, restlessness or severe cough. The pneumonia started in all cases with such symptoms as fever, chills, cough, pains in the chest and fre- quently the coughing up of blood. The face was flushed; there were fever blisters about the lips and the breathing was rapid. There was a great deal of sweating and often cyanosis or a bluish coloring to the skin. Nursing Care Dr. Kaske points out that in the treatment of pneumonia, good nurs- ing care is an item of major im- portance. During the period of re- covery all of the pneumonia pa- tients were allowed some manner of activity. The use of penicillin was continued until the patient's tem- perature remained normal for a period of about three to five days. If, after this time, he continued to be free of fever, he was allowed out of bed. The patients were not allowed to return to their usual "activities until they had regained their nor- mal weight and no abnormal con- ditions were found in the chest on physical and X-ray examinations. Not one of the patients treated in this manner succumbed to the pneumonia, and this fact should point the way toward. the saving of many civilians this year. Family Accompanies Fiancee Down Under Sydney, Australia, March 17-- (CP)--A 19-year-old American girl who arrived here recently to marry a Queenslander, brought her family with her to live in Australia. She is Mary Halikis, of Pittsburgh, who is engaged to Con Boglatzis of Town- ville. With her came Mr. and Mrs. Emanoil Halikis and their 21-year- old son Skyros. The family thought Mary might be lonely without them, so they packed and left with her, hoping to settle permanently in Australia. The young couple met and became engaged when Bogiatzis was on leave from the Australian Army in California a year ago.

GLAMORIZING -- Allow Time for Proper Make-Up By HELEN FOLLETT When applying cake make-up be sure to blend it down 2 your neck to avoid a line of demarcation. * + GETTING into one's clothes is only a matter of minutes. We have slip-ins, slip-ons, slip-overs and never a button to bother us. But putting on a new complexion is something else again. That job must never be a hurried one. Not if you are to make the good-looks grade. Though make-up technique is im- proving right along, there is still room for improvement for those who have not the seeing eye or a taste for neat facial decorating. The girl who does not exercise restraint with the synthetic color- ing agents may look as if she were wearing a mask, and not a pretty one. The powder is spotty, rouge laid on in an irregular pattern, lip- stick application without a clear- cut outline. Why do they do it? The more they try to look well, the worse they look. The face loses delicacy and character. Make-up should be used, not abused. It is one of our modern blessings, must not LJ LJ be profaned by over indulgence. Brightening the Cheeks How vividly the cheeks can be brightened depends upon the color of the complexion, the type of girl one happens to be, the clothes one wears. Exotic ladies can get away with cosmetic murder, but the aver- age woman must soft pedal with the high lights. Unless makeup im- parts a look of freshness and youth it is a washout. Don't put a heavy load on your powder pad. Apply a little at a time; addition is better than sub- traction. Be fussy when selecting powder; endeavor to hit upon the right shade that will give a soft velvety surface to the facial areas. Don't wham the pad on your nose. Start under the chin, work upward, calcimine your impertinent nez last. When applying cake make-up be sure to blend it down to your neck in order to avoid an unsightly line of demarcation. Treasure Sampler Made 117 Years Ago By MARY E. JAMES Women who cherish among their family possessions a "sampler" made by grandmamma at a time when every little girl was eager to show her skill in this beginner's type of needlework will be interest- ed in one belonging to Mrs, Rose Wood, resident of east end Toronto for more than half a century, which is 117 years old and still in good condition. It was made by Mrs. Wood's grandmother, Mrs. West, member of a pioneer Canadian family in the Rice Lake district. And so highly does she value the sampler that she will not trust it away from home-- even to be framed, or for exhipition purposes, as she was recen re- quested to do. The sampler, 16% by 17% inches, done on canvas with bright-colored wools, bears the name and date of the little craftswoman, "Mary Grif- fis, aged 15 years, Sept, 23, 1830." It also has the alphabet three times, in capitals, in small letters, and again with greater elaboration in eyelet embroidery. Most of the work is done in cross-stitch and the intricate design includes several fig- ures and symbols, outlined by a handsome border of acorns and leaves. Work Well Preserved Although typical of this type of needlework -- reminiscent of the 17th century, and earliest example of which (1643) is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, S. Kensington -- the sampler which Mrs. Wood treasures is remarkable for its fine stitchery and the splendid state of preservation. In some of a much later date time has played havoc with the fibre of wool or thread used, with resultant dropping of stitches, which mars the design. "Things like these bring back memories," sald Mrs, Wood, as she sat in the spotless, old-fashioned kitchen of her cosy cottage. home fondling family possessions, to her beyond price, which she had stored away with the sampler. One of these is an old-fashioned link chain, of hand-hammered gold together with an antique topaz brooch be- to her grandmother, also a little picfure of her mother in her wedding gown wearing this jewelry. Reminiscent someway of the neat, well-preserved sampler is the com- pact. little cottage in which Mrs Wood lives. Nestling in among the stores on Queen St. E., it is one of three houses built by her late father, Edward Henry Roberts, "and we have lived in these three houses for the last 55 years, and I remem- ber when there were but very few houses between here and Danforth," she said. FIRMLY ENTRENCHED every- where with women is the little black cotton dress for city wear, come summer. Black cotton broad- cloth makes a neat little number, sleeveless, but with extended shoul- de: line, Interest is gained by a very wide self-lattice yoke. Bodice buttons down the front. Concealed pockets in side fullness of skirt. LO NOT FOR MANY SEASONS have hats been so dressy and colorful. Lemon yellow skirt felt is shirred into a wide, off-the-face bonnet with the crown tip open. The hat is wreathed with tiny green leaves which cascade down the back. * kb MADE TO GO with new tailored suits is a collection of handsome gilets and dickies. A white pique westkit has a deep U neckline filled in with a tucked sheer yoke that carries a tab collar. + Fb SHEER BEAUTY is the best de- scription of the beautiful lingerie now coming into the shops. A lovely ensemble consists of a white satin gown and a negligee of white" silk' chiffon. The bodice of the very high-waisted gown is of the white chiffon traced with strips of the satin in a scroll design. Similar de- tail on the sheer cuffs of the neg-. ligee sleeves. * +» COMING ALONG SOON will be neat little cotton frocks, eminently simple, yet smart enough for all- day general wear. Combed cotton chambray, in dove gray, pale blue or pale pink, is used for a pretty little frock with box-pleated skirt and rows of white rick-rack braid on pilgrim collar and cuffs. . * + A REAL PARADE of fine suits will be along for Easter. Navy blue alpaca is used for a dress-up suit with a cutaway jacket which has accordion pleated, stiffened white organdie trim, very wide at the neckline and tapering to a point at the waistline closing. The organdie also wings up the sleeve slits and traces a line along the slit pockets. London--The Times, writing edi- torially on Britain's economic fu- ture, by inference, gently tweaked the noses of persons abroad who have predicted that the fuel crisis here sounded the country's death knell.

Spring Clean Ruthlessly The best effects of spring house- cleaning are lost if your home's well-scrubbed facade conceals still bulging closets, jumbled desks, un- tidy bureau drawers. When you clean, treat the contents of these likely clutter-trouble spots: to a ruthless overhaul. Each closet should be stripped bare. Before each of its contents is permitted re-entry, make sure its ready for immediate wear. That means repair treatment for gar- ments with rips, tears or spots, scuf- fed shoes, and shapeless hats. I? they cannot be repaired or remod- eled to restore usefulness, retire them from active space-wasting in your closet. You'll be surprised by the numbers of hangers-on you've been harboring. If your bureau drawers look like a magpie's nest, apply the same stern test to their contents. Stitch up run-filled stockings, strapless slips or garterless girdlés. Unsal- vageable lingerie should be given a one-way ticket out of your room. Desk Cluterrers Thieves that rob your desk of or- dered and efficient operation are jumbled-up letters, old circulars, stub-end pencils, eraser crumbs and inkless pens. Clothespins to clip current correspondence together, a small pencil sharpener and a heavy paper file case for important let- ters will help you to keep order once it is restored. Crochet News!

Send your order to DAILY TIMES GAZETTE, Pattern Department, Dear Mrs. Beeckman: A group of girls and I (we all go to High School) would appreciate your answering a few questions for us. 1. When a girl invites a boy to a dance given by her school or class, or even by a club te which she be- longs, is it true that the girl buys the tickets for both of them (that is, of course, if there are tickets to be bought)? Wouldn't it be all right for the girl to tel the boy the price of the tickets and let him buy them, or at least give her the money to buy them, just as he would buy or pay for theatre tickets? We've been told that the girl must buy the tickets, but we're still not sure, 2. If the girl must byy the tickets, how would the boy know that she has the tickets, so that he won't wonder' about them? Should she send them to him when she invites him? 3. How far in advance of the date of the dance should the girl invite the boy? 4. Is the boys always supposed to bring or send the girl a corsage? 5. When the boy calls for her on the night of the dance should the girl be all ready to leave for the dance? 6. Who provides the transporta- tion to and from the dance? And if they go somewhere after the dance, say for a soda or hot choco- late and cake, who pays for this? : Six Girls 1. Yes, girls, this is a MUST... that wh'n a girl invites a boy to a dance given by her school or class or club, a dance for which tickets must be bought, it is the girl who must buy the tickets. The point is that in this case, she is the hostess, and therefore it is she who furnishes the entrance-wherewithal for her guest. 2. When the girl invites the boy she should make it quite clear that she has the tickets. Either as she speaks to him or writes to him, she might say, "I have the tickets, Bob, and I'll keep them until I give them into your charge when we meet on the aight of the dance." Then, on their way to the dance, she gives him the tickets for him to hand in at the door. 3. The girl should invite the boy at least two weeks before the date of the dance, and as much earlier as she wishes. If he's a popular young gentleman, she'd better get her invitation in early. 4. That "supposed" has changed in the past few years, for today many schools, and colleges too, have banned the sending of cors- Ages as an. unnecessary expense. WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT -- Letting A Boy I Invite Pay? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Other schools and colleges permit them only for very "spécial" dances, such as the junior or senior Prom, the yearly dance of a sorority, and so forth. If there are no such re= strictiors in your school, the boy may send a corsage, but this is a courtesy never to be taken for granted, since it depends mainly on the boy's budget. » / 5. As she greets the boy at the door, the girl should be ready exe cept that she hasn't put on her wrap. She shouldn't give the im< pression of wishing to dash out at once, for she should give him an opportunity to greet her mother and father, or to be introduced to them. Four or five minutes of chat= ting with them, then she puts on her wrap, and they're on their way. 6. At the dance the boy is her guest, but going to and from the dance he is her escort, so it is he who provides transportation, by car or taxicab or bus. And it is he who would pay for the soda or whate ever-is-ordered after the dance. The.
