PAGE EIGHT -- THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 194% | A BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Weight Gainers! Watch Diet! By HELEN JAMESON out last summer's use as second best, a wo- may be surprised to find that t is just about impossible to run zipper up that side seam. Extra t cells have been creeping up on , She really hadn't noticed. Her winter clothes slipped on and off without more than the usual of squirming, twisting and stretching. It is a terrible moment. Is it possible that she is on her way to join the ranks of the "stylish stouts?" A pretty kettle of fish, in- deed. It behooves this lady to get out the tape measure, The size of the bust and the waist she has known for years. No varying, thank good- ness, But what does she discover? A full inch-and-a-half increase at the equator. It won't do. If she feels all right, she can map out a safe reducing diet for herself; if she feels raggedly and spent, she had better consult the doctor, who realizes that normal weight makes for better health, It is to be main- tained, if possible, With the go ahead signal from Doc, she simply cuts' down the in- take of fats, starches and sweets to the limit. It is as simple as that. If she sticks to her determination, she will lop off four pounds a month, and that is lopping fast enough, Within six months the old-time waist measurement will be back again. She must take tea and coffe clear; sugar and cream are her silhouette enemies. She must never even take a peek into a can- dy box or a cookie jar. She must avi foods that have been fried in fat. can have lean meat, fish, poultry, vegetables, fruits, fruit jui- ces, cottage cheese, buttermilk. Rich sauces are not her dish, Macaroni is no help, since It is solid starch. She can indulge in a baked potato now and then; potatoes have an undeserved reputation as fat build- ers; it is the butter or gravy you put on them that does the mischief. When to man y Is it possible that she will soon be classed as a "stylish stout?" * bP If a woman is such a self-indul- gent softie that she cannot deny herself certain good things of the table, and if the clothes budget will permit her to have her frocks and coats made to order, she can be made to look many pounds lighter, A carelessly cut skirt will make large hips look hippier. Round necklines accent the plump neck and the spare chin. Sleeveless frocks should never be worn if the upper arms have gone in for a pol- icy of expansion. Let her not overlook the fact that black, of all colors, is most slen- derizing. The Fires of Spring (The New York Times) in the deep silt washed down from the hillsides. Maple buds have opened, and the warm crimson out- lines every twig, a deep blush of color at a distance, a mass of ruddy florets when seen close by. Look down any hillside now and see them. The trees stand silvery gray against the massed brown of oak and ash, but their outlines are clear as the swift strokes of a pastel crayon. They flame with the deep red of an Oc- tober apple. It is like a haze among the branches, almost an aura, and it seems an even deeper shade when seen against the blue of a clear April sky. Red maples are insistent trees, insistent in their bold color. Last fall they flared like candle flames, lighting the valleys with every shade of red.

BUNDESEN, M.D. ACNE IN ADOLESCENCE ACNE or pimples is likely to be the worst trial the adolescent boy or girl has to face, Fortu- nately, though it can cause real distress during the maturing pe- riod, this skin disorder tends to clear up around the age of eight- teen. That should be some consola- tion to the afflicted youngster and he should find more in the fact that proper care will do much to lessen, if not entirely banish it. Exact Cause Unhnown We do not know the exact cause of acne but Dr. Clara M. Warren of London, believes the use of excessive fats in the diet or the improper use of fat by the body may have a good deal to do with it, particularly where {it is accompanied by seborrhea. Seborrhea is a scaly eruption which often occurs around the nose, and ears and on the scalp. A lack of thyroid secretion may al- so be a contributing cause for the seborrhea. Long continued fatigue may also be a factor, In such cases the scalp is greasy and the skin shiny, Sleep and Diet In treating this stage of acne the patient should get at least nine hours of sleep at night and have a well-balanced diet. Fried foods, chocolate, ice-cream and cream should be avoided, Thyroid extract is recommend- ed in small doses given in the morning and at night, The skin is treated . by gentle sponging with warm, soapy water followed by rinsing with warm water. The hair is washed once a week with a mild soap. Sulfur lotions may help to get rid of the eruption. All of this treatment is import- ant because the seborrhea contri. butes to the development of acne as well as to the occurrence of blackheads. Treating Blackheads In treating the blackheads, Dr. Warren recommends that the face be moistened with warm wa- ter; and then a fine coating of soap be applied. Next, with a rub- ber sponge, pressure is put on the skin and then relaxed. This pro- cess {is repeated a number of times. Following this, the skin is rinsed with warm water and gently dried. Such treatment will in many cases get rid of the blackheads. If not, they may have to be squeezed out or even surgical re- moval may be necessary. Some- times ultraviolet ray treatments may help to get rid of the black- heads, In treating the pimples them- selves, those which have pus in them may be opened and the in- fected material drained out. A spray of penicillin or of sulfathia- zole may be tried, X-ray treat- ments are also useful. Various ointments are also helpful such as those containing sulfur and salicylic acid. Of course, the physician will decide in each case which of these preparations should be employed, SHIELD BABY'S EYES Even when a baby is old enough for sunbaths, the eyes should be given special protection, say the health authorities. An infant should be shielded from direct rays of the sun until able to move about | easily, Doctors suggest that the baby be placed with feet pointing away from the sun, so that eye- brows and upper lids shield the eyes, It is also a good idea to line the hood of a baby carriage with Some dull, preferably dark mater- a swept through their branches it swept their leaves away like a stream of embers whpiped out of an open fire. Other maples might achieve a touch of scarlet, but here was the splash of red and scarlet and crimson and ruby and garnet almost gaudy m its generosity. Now comes the color again, the spring color that precedes the lush- ness of the leaves. It will linger, and a warm amber will soften it as the florets mature; and the ground beneath the trees will turn crim- son as the florets fall. Then the leaves will come, and the winged fruits, red as the blossom, will come swirling down on amber vanes. And the twigs themselves will show crimson, the same deep, insistent red, as the leaves unfold, For here is sunrise and sunset, here is the flame of the ruddy ember, on the branch. -------------- 2% care!

Powders were either flesh or white. If a bit of coloring was placed upon the cheeks, it was the usual carmine. As for the lipstick, perish the thought! Putting on a new coms- plexion was a simple matter, didn't take more than a minute. Now if a girl can make herself a freshly de- corated face in twenty minutes she is a speed at the business. Shades of Powders 'We have powders of many shades rouge and lipsticks of true reds, orange reds, purple reds, which pro- fusion makes for confusion. How can one select the most flattering tints and tones from such a variety of items? It is not easy. There are rules that help, but the true test is the reflection in the mirror after the make-up deed is done. Clear primary reds are not in favor; they are too vivid. These are the days of subtle effects. Reds with blue undertones, like rasp- berry, are popular for rouge, lip- stick and nail polish. But they won't do if the skin is sallow or is J * carrying its first coat of summer tan, Reds with golden undertones are preferred by blondes and red- heads, also by many brunettes with dark complexions. Mixture of Tones The skin itself can be a mixture of tones, a cream-pink, a faint beige, as is the case with the girl whose hair is neither light nor dark, but drab. That is why one can get a satisfactory powder at a cosmetic bar where several shades are mixed together. - If in doubt, when doing your beauty shopping, select a rachelle powder, It is the good old standby, being a luscious creamy tone that gives richness to the skin. When putting it on, apply a little at a time, starting on the throat. The usual method is to slap the pad on one's nose first which is bad tech- nique. Attend to the calcimining of your beak last of all when the pad is fairly free of powder. Apply the compact lightly, use a little more powder, do some fancy blending. Don't forget to brush the powder from your eyebrows. While doing that give them a few licks of brilliantine to make them shine, Here's a Charmer! ~~ Anne Adama People will look twice, youll look so nice!

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Since shortly after Thanksgiving last year I've been dating regularly with a boy. I'm very fond of. We didn't exchange gifts at Christmas --(although I must confess I had a simple gift "on hand" to give him in case he gave me a Christmas gift!) But now he is to have a birthday soon and then his grad- uation, and I am wondering if it would be all right for me to be the first to give a gift. He's as gener- ous as he can be (I know he's on an allowance) when we go out on a date, but he has never given me any kind of gift, not even sent me a corsage. It may be that he doesn't believe in giving girls gifts, or it may be because he comes from a very conservative family and would. n't think this gift-giving quite "proper." ol Gloria. Well, no matter what the reason is you'll be a wise girl, a very wise girl, if you remember that it's the boy who should give the first gift. And a boy who is as well-bred as this boy apparently is, and who comes from a conservative family, won't approve of your starting the gift-giving, either for his birthday or graduation, and he may be em- barrassed at your assuming the privilege that rightfully belongs to him. You'll show good taste if you send him a birthday greeting card or write him a note of congratula- tion on his graduation . . . or to celebrate either occasion (although perhaps not on the very day of his birthday or graduation, when he may be busy with his famil)y you might invite a group of your mutual friends to come to your house to a party. HUSBAND AND WIFE NOT SEATED NEXT TO EACH OTHER. Dear Mrs. Beeckman: The other day, when you answer- ed my question about whether a wife sits at her husband's right or left at a public dinner, ered that she would sit at in accordance with the lady on the right of the gen But you added that this apply only to a public Where would the wife sit at a " vate dinner?" PV. At a dinner where places are signed . . . as at a dinner in 8 house or in a restaurant or even at some public dinners . , . a wife and husband are not seated next | to each other. CONVENIENT PLACING OF TEA | NAPKIN s2gd lagi | ¥ Deas Mies Buackman) | en one serving tea, wha | is the correct way to place the tea« the tea plate? It seems to me there must be a more convenient way (convenient for the guest, I mean) than putting the napkin flat on the tea-plate, which means that the guest has a difficult time getting it "out from under." CSM. Best, I think, to place the tea napkin on the side of the tea plate; if the tea plate is very small, the napkin folded over so that the edg- ' es can be tucked in under the edge of the saucer, Having the napkin wedged in between the plate and saucer, as is too often the service at tea, means that it's an awkward procedure for a guest to extract it.
