PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE _ / WEDNESDAY, MAY 21, 1947 | BEAUTY FOR Dance, YOU -- ~ Little Lady! -- By HELEN JAMESON Dancing is an exercise that should appeal to all women, even those who make sour mugs when you mention callisthenics. It pro- motes to the highest degree, espec when an instructor is present to insist upon correct pos- ture and neat movements. It pro- duces ease of manner and perfect thythm, Bo. The percentage of women who go in for outdoor sports, or physical education as it is taught in a gym- nasium, is small, A grand step forward is interest in swimming. It becomes more popular each year. It is an ide.al exercise; one is out in the sunshine and the effort of propelling the body through the water air-washes the lungs. But ' the season is short. Exercise should continue through- out the year. Even middle-aged women need a certain amount of muscle workout. Holding down an chair means that hip spread is invited, Let these self-indulgent women turn on the radio and dance. Let them step lively. They will shake off some of the adipose padding, They'll feel better and ook better. The circulatory sys- tem will be stimulated; the come plexion will benefit. A feeling of youthfulness will come back to them. They will recharge their energy batteries. Every little girl whose parents can afford it should have dancing lessons--aesthetic, social or gym- nastic, according to her fancy. Be- cause dancing is the most beautiful form of physical expression, little daughter will be greatly benefited. Dancing aids development of the bony framework, makes for the so- cial ease and poise that many girls lack during the so-called awkward period. It is parficularly helpful to shy, self-conscious lassies. Sustained efforts extend the wally of the chest, tighten the mus- cled 'of the lower portion of the back, strengthen the interlacing fi- bers of the abdominal region. Doctor Charlotte C. West, in her interesting book, "Ageless Youth," has this to say about dancing: I il Let the self-indulgent women turn on the radio and dance. > * "Dancing is prescribed for its physiological as well as for its psy- chological effects, It brings out the lighter and more wholesome qualities, infuses into the atmos- phere a blending, a mixing, of joy, happiness and hope, and optimism that might be called the "spirit of the dance." "Dancing is, of course, the most marked example of appeal made by rhythmic movements. It enables a girl to create grace that she will never lose, Even if she does not take dancing seriously, an ease of manner and deportment is ac- quired that equips & young woman for any future social life that she may enter--such ease and grace as it 4 dififeult to assume in later years," GLAMORIZING -- Make-Up Shouldn't Be Lavish By HELEN FOLLETT i | A Physician Advises You By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. WHAT CAUSES OVERWEIGHT THOSE of us who weigh more than we should seldom like to admit that our stoutness is due to overeat- ing, We search around for reasons and causes elsewhere, some believing it is only "natural" for them to be fat while others think they may have glandular trouble, And it is true that certain gland disorders do lead to a gain in weight. Nevertheless such cases are few and fag between, Most doctors, among Dr. Edwin G. Langrock of New York, state that the only reason for obesity in the vast majority of cases is the eating of more food than is required. In any case, even where overweight is due to glandular dis- turbances, the treatment consists ba- sically in eating less. Height and Weight Many height and weight tables have been formulated which show what the average person between 25 to 85 years of age should weigh. Ac- cording to Dr. Langrock, weights above these levels are detrimental to health and lead to a shortened life span. No additional weight should be gained after 30 years of age. In planning the diet so as to bring about a loss of weight or maintain the weight at the normal level, steps nust be taken to be sure that enough of the various food parts especially protein are supplied for body growth, Protein is furnished by such foods as meat, milk, eggs, cheese and whole-grain cereals. There should also be enough protein for the adult to maintain and repair the body tis- sues, In addition, vitamins and min- erals should be supplied and enough starchy foods and sugars to supply energy and prevent acidosis or g les- sening of the amount of alkali in the blood and tissues. Losing Weight In order to lose weight, the num- ber of calories or heat value of the diet must be less than what an in- dividual uses up in his daily acti- vity. Thus a 1200 or 1500 calorie diet is often used. In planning the diet the physician will first determine the number of calories the patient needs. Then he will select foods which furnish vitamins, minerals and proteins and prescribe them in a quantity which will furnish the necessary number of calories. In some instances vitamin and mineral supplements may be utilized to make sure that a.deficiency does not oec- our. The overweight n can best reduce under the direction of the physician. T have outlined some sug- gested diets and instructions which may be helpful in following the phy- sician's advice, and I shall be glad 30 ened ig hf mehion to those wi enclosing a large, self- addressed, stamped envelope, with Ss cents in stamps. Names will not Girl from London On Lonely Island Prince Rupert, , May 14-- (OP)--Miss Deidre ! A xin typist, stenographer and wartime has arrived at 10 miles west of here, where she will act as house- keeper for her uncle, Jolin Biggs, Department of Transport light- keeper. Miss Biggs travelled 6,000 miles to exchange London's metropolitan life for the quiet of the tiny island in Shathem Sound. "I suppose it will take me some time. to get used to ity said, "and I wouldn't like to Say how long I may stay. I expect to eninv keeping holse on the lonely island." She was born in Ottawa but went to England with her parents when 15 months old. However, she de- Scribes herself as a Canadian. ~~. The Movie Column By RON GADSBY Press Staff The war, almost ag much as any other factor, focused attention om the possibilities of instructional and documentary films. They were used in training by all branches of the armed service and instructors delighted to find class-room in- struction enhanced by carefully- made films on a variety of subjects. In the field of the documentaries, the United States and England ex- celled. Who can forget "T: for Tonight" and the little Scottish navigator who stole the show and who later instructed in navigation at ie RAF, Station, Port Albert, Ont. His name was Alex More and he received the Distinguished Flying Cross for a distinguished flying ca=- reer, There have been many other such films. Currently, our own Na- tional Film Board hag a number of such films on the fire. Soon to cir- culate in the celluloid circuit are "The Boy Who Stopped Niagara," "Puerto Rico," made especially for the government of the same name, "Bast by North," the story of life | on a fishing schooner, and others.

" A wag ask- ed. Without an instant's hesita- tion and with a merry twinkle in his eye, he answered, simply . . . "Great!" Rank is a tall, well-set-up man in hig fifties. He says he is learning about movies all the time and has lots to learn. Also, he speaks seri- ously, thoughtfully, about the ap- plications to religious training to be derived from good movies be- cause he is a real Yorkshire Meth- odist and proud of it. He ig sure souls can be saved by celluloid. Gallery to Stop Training Course The Art Gallery of Toronto will discontinue its activities in connec- tion with the Saturday morning classes and other children's demon- stration classes and training courses, it has announced. ( by the Lyceum Club and - Women's Art Association classes were held in Centre Street 8chool here for several years.) The Gallery will continue its edu- cational classes for children of mem- bers and its other educational acti- vities related to its collection and exhibitions which are particularly to adults and young people in the undergraduate and second- ary school groups. } The classes which the Gallery is now discontinuing, were initiated during the presidency of R. Y. Ea- ton. The work was greatly devel- oped through the financial support of the Carnegie Corporation but in accordance with its well known policy, this support was given for a limited period. After the pay- ments ceased, these classes were continued by the Art Gallery with some financial support from the Department of Education. Americans have developed over 1,500 uses of salt and use some two or three tons of it per second, the year round. Fashion Flashes SMART VARIATIONS of the ensemble are current. One is a dress of pure silk, in black, with inserts of chartreuse, tan and white silk appliqued along the neckline, With it is a short, flar- ing mandarin coat of the chart- ng print lined with the black *> +e COMING ALONG in good style is the silk coat done on important lines. Such a model is of fine black faille, The full skirt is made with a wide flare, and the basque top is fastened with a double row of square jet buttons. There are notched revers, and easy sleeves finished with a very narrow turn- back cuff. > PP EVEN IF YOU ARE AN ADDICT of prints, you shouid have at least one monotone dress in your Spring and Summer wardrobe. How about & charming frock of pale beige silk crepe, made with jewelry neckline, tiny sleeves and an extravagant, accordion-pleated - flounce swirling down the side of the skirt. * +b COME SUMMER and therelll be a big demand once more for the full- length cotton dance dress. 'White eyelet embroidered cotton is used for a pretty number, with 'mousse line de sole forming the short, ruf- fled sleeves, and the curved flounce outlining the hemline, and the crisp petticoat. A ANOTHER ABSENTEE returns to the fold. Applause at a recent style show went to a. beautifully tailored suit of pure silk in navy plue, pencil-striped in white. It had a small high-necked collar and double rows of tiny crystal buttons on the long, fitted packet. Yorn with a shirred white chiffon ouse. MOST EFFECTIVE hat for wear with a suit is that small hat with moderate brim trimmed with rib bon loops. Gold-colored baku fis used for a handsome hat trimmed with several loops of honey-colored taffeta ribbon striped with white satin, Rolled cords of the ribbon are used for a crown band that ends in a flat bow in back. QUESTION AND ANSWER Is adultery the most cbmmon grounds for divorce? "No. Cruelty heads the list, being cited in about 47 per cent. of all divorce cases. Desertion comes next.

Sale of LJ NOT alone the skin coloring and the color of the eyes determine the kind of make-up that enhances, or the way it should be used, but type and personality as well. There are retiring lassies who can apply the domestic counter aids discreet- ly and delicately and become a bit more vivid. But let them indulge in 'eye make-up, or lay on the lip- stick with a lavish hand, and they are out of character. Too scenic an effect gives them a brittle look that is not according to their na- tures or dispositions. How can one tell just how far one should go when playing with the contents of the make-up box? Good mirror placed in a strong light should guide one, The trouble is, of course, that everyone's ideas as to what constitutes good looks are not the same. Some admire the flashy woman who makes herself conspicuous. Others follow the ex- ample of the woman who is fasti- dious in her grooming, who feels that, above everything else, she must appear ladylike. Dark-Eyed Girl Oonsider the dark-eyed, dark- haired girl with lovely olive skin. A fluff of golden powder and a bit of rich damask coloring on her lips, are all she needs.

Right up the alley of the girl who wants a truly natural look is a new non-drying cream wafer make- up base, which can be used with or without face powder.
