PAGE SIX THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1947 WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT -- Finding Seats in the Movies? By MRS CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs, Beeckman: My girl friend and I are having an argument as to whether she or I should go down the aisle first at the movies, to find seats, that is, when there is no usher. I think I should go first, and I don't like to have her barge down the aisle ahead of me, which she usually does. Bob You're right... it is the man who should go first down the aisle when there are seats to be found. But, from what you say, I'm won- dering if the reason your girl- friend barges down the aisle ahead of you, "as she usually does," is that you don't immediately take com- mand of the situation and take over your duty. Could this be, sir. Now that you know it's your duty (and privilege) to go first to find the seats, perhaps it will fortify your determination to "get going" imme- diately in order to find the best seats available. How a Boy Introduces a School Friend to His Mother Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I a a 14-year-old boy, my father is dead, and I live with my mother, 'This year I went to a boarding school for boys, and several of the boys I became friendly with there live in this city where we came to live just before I went to boarding school. My mother wants me to invite these boys to our house, and I would like to very much. Just how should I introduce her to these boys? Phil Always, you introduce a boy to your mother, not your mother to a boy. As a matter of fact, you in- troduce anyone to your mother, that is, you mention your mother first in all introductions, Introduce a boy to your mother like this: "Mother, this is John Thompson." g Name of Church is Ex- cellent Form in Marriage Announcements Dear Mrs. Beeckman: We are to be married in church, with only the members of the two families and a few intimate friends present. So of course we will not send wedding invitations, However, Wwe are planning to send many for- mal announcements of the mar- riage, and I would very much like to have the church in which we are married mentioned in the an- nouncements. I am quite sure that I once read in your column that this is correct, even though not customary, but my stationer had no sample to show me of this form. Is it correét? If it is, will you please give me the form to show my en- graver? Faith R. Yes, the name of the church is often mentioned in the marriage announcements, and personally I am most enthusiastic about this procedure, for I thing this gives the announcements a personality of even more dignity and authority. The form is: Mr. and Mrs. John Paul Ross announce the marriage of their daughter Faith to Mr. Thomas Robinson Tuesday, the first of October Nineteen hundred and forty-seven Centre Church Haven, Connecticut (Thre second line may be expand- ed to: (have the honour to announce the marriage of their daughter or have the honour of announcing the marriage of their daughter) +++ .AND WHEN TO LEAVE Today's hostess, wisely and cour- teously, informs a guest, in her in- vitation, the expected time of de- parture as well as the time of arri- val. This definiteness makes good sense, is practical for both guest and hostess. For example, the host- ess may write or say, "There is an excellent express train on Monday morning at 8::30, and this is the one that John takes." When You Take Léave, Take Your ngings By Beeckman All ye guests, PLEASE remember . . « when you leave after a visit, take all your belongings with you! To a hostess, it is a nuisance and a bore, and often a very considerable amount of trouble, to send to you some article (or articles!) you have forgotten. And such scatter-brain carelessness on your part leaves an usitrattive last impression of your sit. (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions submitted by read- ers.) TIPS FOR TEENS -- To Kiss or Not To Kiss? By ELINOR WILLIAMS Will a girl be dismal and date- less if she doesn't pay for every date with a kiss--or is "no kiss, no date" just propaganda from the stag line? Here's the kiss question from two highschool girls: "According to your column for high schoolers, my sister and I are right in not kissing every date here where we live in the city. But in the town where we spend the sum- mer, when you go out on a date, the boys always. expect you to kiss them goodnight. If you don't, you're considered taboo--a gold-digger. "My girl friends and I have talk- ed it over many times and rather than stay home every night, we re . lent and kiss the boys goodnight. Is it wrong under the circumstan- ces?" The old answer is still the best one, A kiss is a sign of affection, something to be valued highly, not given lightly. If a girl and a boy really like each other, affection is spontaneous and so is the kiss, not merely the result of a no-date threat from the boys. What's the matter with the boys in that town--are they so grue- some that they have to win kisses with threats? They're the ones who are gold-diggers, collecting kisses from every girl they date like a It's a Cinch New! Torso sweater with pushup sleeves! Easy-knit pattern-stitch.

"Prefabs" on View In New York Store New York. --With the era of the prefabricated house just around the corner one of New York's de- partment stores (Wanamaker's) has set up a village of seven of the new dwellings--which their makers prefer to call "pre-engineered"--to show buyers what kind of . furniture and decorating goes with the new architectural style. The small community is complete in every detail except that nobody 'lis living in the houses. Shoppers in search of homes--and who isn't --can look over white picket fences and green lawns complete with new keroseal wading pools before they wander in the front door and get a close-up look. Briefly, the furniture is simple, relying on fine wood and lines which harmonize with the small, simple rooms. One of the houses has pale blonde maple furniture in units which can be moved from room to room as the owner's plans change. Chairs and tables have good lines and fine color. The lar- gest house sports furniture combin- ing bright lacquers witla blonde wood, like the big living-room cof- fee table with four little Chinese red stools tucked under it. In this house Vernon Sears, arch- itect for United States Plywood Corporation, has used wood to take the place of wall papers and paint. Some of his tricks include a check- erboard of ridgey plastic wood to cover a ceiling; oak panelling either plain or in blocks to show contrast in grain; cedar-panelled hallways; stripes of light and dark-wood up one wall and across a bedroom ceil- ing. : 2 It you press suits at home between dry cleanings, look for spots before you press. A warm iron will "set" the spot so it may Spotlight Shifts From Knee to Ankle The new longer skirts, slit-to- the knee evening gowns and an- kle-strap shoes are rapidly shift- ng the spotlight from milady's knee to her ankle. The changing mode in clothes, points out Janet Blair, full-fash- on hosiery stylist, calls for slim- mer, more attractive ankles. What to do if you have not got them? "First choose your shoes with care; avoid the high tie that hugs tb ankle, Don't wear flat-heeled shoes; they automatically add inches to ankle girth. And do make sure your stockings fit neatly, Fullfashioned hose give that slim, clinging fit, Get seams absolutely straight, ankle-wise, and you will find that the seam itself will make ankles appear more slender."

Will Reside in Kirkland Lake bride --Photo by Hornsby Studio Tea--Seven Times Daily Pleases Australian Palates Syfney --(CP)-New arrivals think Australians cert:inly eat a lot. But that is just a first im- pression. Later, visitors agree it is not so much a case of hearty eating as frequent eating. Australians have seven daily periods set aside for consumption of food and beverage. The first-- immediately after arising---is ear- ly morning tea with a biseuit. Then comes breakfast varied ac- cording to individual taste, Morn- ing tea with biscuits is a "must" in every office and factory, Lunch is the same as in Canada and is followed by afternoon tea, The evening meal is called "tea" while supper is about 9:30 p.m, Host- esses usually word invitations so guests know to which they are in- vited. According to this schedule, Australians drink at least seven cups a day--a feat which sup- ports their claim of being the third-most-tea-drinking nation in the world, The basis of this claim however, is the distress of dieti- tians, A Sydney health consult- ant and lecturer, Sister Lorna Miller, is horrified when she thinks of the amount of tannin and thein her country-folk con- sume, Dr, Cecil H, Hearman, lecturer in preventive dentistry and diete- tics at the University of Mel- bourne, says: ' "Australia's teeth are the worst of any civilized country in the world," adding the quantity of white sugar consumed in this country--125 pounds per capita annually--Is probably the cause of 90 per cent -of dental trouble. Higher Than England Dr. Hearman says the English- man's consumption is only 50 pounds while Chinese and Indians are restricted to five pounds, Despite head-shakings, Austra. lians continue to eat happily of food they like, They take advant- age of the availability of sheep to eat mutton, lamb and sheep's brain, Like Canadians, they are fond of beef, and like the Eng- lish, they love a good steak-and- kidney pie, Because of the nature of the country, they can have fresh vegetables the year-round and both tropical and temperate- zone fruit, They tend to have fruit or ice-cream as dessert ra- ther than pie, Pumpkin is treated as a vegetable here instead of as a pie-filling, Meals in restaurants are strict- ly "a la carte" with fruit juice, dessert and hot beverage costing extra, Australians rarely drink fruit juice at the start of a meal. Their at.itude to tomato juice is shown by a 'recent newspaper statement: "tomato juice is healthful and easy to take when you get used to it." One custom which Australians share with Canadians is Christ- mag dinner. Here, the weather may be close to 100 degrees, but Australians, influenced by their British ancestry, eat roast turkey, plum pudding and trimmings. Then they go for a swim or pic- nic--at least an hour later, of course, ATTENTION HOUSEWIVES I am happy to announce to you of the City of Oshawa and District that the price of Plast-1-Gloss Floor Finish will remain the same due to your co-operation and response of purchasing this product and the way it has been speaking for itself You have purchased 4235 quarts since the 23rd of May.

Prenuptial Events For Laura Kinsman Mrs, George Kinsman, Lloyd Street, held a trousseau tea last Friday in honor of her daughter, Laura, whose marriage to Mr. Vincent Genge takes place to- morrow. Mrs. Richard Genge, mother of the prospective bride- groom, helped to receive the guests, Red roses in a silver bowl formed an effective centrepiece for the tea table at which four aunts of the bride, Mrs, C, E. Kinsman, Mrs, C, J. Harrison, Mrs. S. E. Kinsman and Mrs. Fergus Kinsman, presided. Miss Jean Reynolds was in charge of the ticusseau, and Mrs, Leonard Kinsman, the "hope chest and wedding gifts, The bride-to-be has been much feted during the past three weeks, Mrs, Cecil Harrison, her aunt, held a pantry shower, Mrs. Leo- nard Kinsman and Mrs. Alec Law- rence were co-hostesses at a cup anda saucer shower.

The gift is the latest addition to the $800,000 subscribed towards the $3,000,000 "Restoration of Church Life in London" Fund. The Bishop (Dr. Wand) has just returned from America, where he attended the 250th anniversary of Trinity Church. After an air raid in 1941, when St. Mary-le-Bow was hit, only scar. red walls, the crypt, and the Wren steeple remained. The 12 bells, famous because of the broadcast recordings of their chimes throughout the world, were destroyed. They succeeded the Bow Bells of the Dick Whittington legend- New York, July 18 (Special). -- Pretty and feminine were the clothes in Anna Miller's new collec- tion shown to the press yesterday. Gone are tne "coat hanger" shoulders of othef seasons, and in their place is a beautifully founded silhouette. This new shoulder line does not drop; it is padded with the squareness removed and the fem- inine softness emphasized. Neck- lines are low swung arcs, their fold- ed draperies swirling in gentle ed- dies from shoulder to bosom to re- peat on the hipline or the back of wrapped slim skirts, Present, too, are draped equestrienne skirts with fluid lengths of fabric. Anna Mil- ler's waists are clasped by broad confining set-in bodice bands. New too are her narrow belts no wider than a baby ribbon and tied in art- less bows ending in long ends. Dressmaker Suits Her collection started with dress- maker wool suits, completely un- classical. They were a black deep wool with a wrapped coat that swathed the hips, longer in the back, turning U-shape to the front, and buttoning high, just under a tiny rolled collar of ermine. Its accompanying dress had a skirt that belled out "slightly over the hips and ended in extreme slender- mess. The satin top crossed to one side and was set on a broad bodice band, and matched the oyster white lining of the coat. Wool and crepe dresses followed, showing a complete absence of fuss, the brilliant manipulation of beautiful fabric pointing up su- preme simplicity. A new drape starred in this group. It proved to be a folded back peuf that blew up the hipline on one side over the slimmest string of a skirt and ap- peared sometimes singly, some- times repeated one below the other, finding its counterpoint in the softly folded drapery of the deep U-neck. Equestrienne Skirts Dresses in two tones .were alsn in this group, their silhouette an unbroken torso line freem shoulder to hip, with equestrienne_skirts and their rhythmic loose flyihg drapes. In this group too were the blacks, brilliantly expressed in fine wools and crepes. The formal picture was a mood in fragile loveliness. Outstanding in Feminine Softness Accented In New York Fashion Shows the group was a dancing frock of pale lace, swirling to the ankles, its tiny waist nipped by a whisper of a velvet belt that tied in a simple long ended bow after the manner of an English portrait. s Lace, Sheen and Satin A black lace dress captured ex- citement with its sheer lace top, the miniature waist slipping into a swirl of black satin skirt, Lavish with beads, they employed new loveliness in fabrics. A black and white dress lavishly beaded, with high bosom line and long slim skirt, was a prophecy of the etched look we will have for fall. Also in this beaded collection was a pale blue satin dress with wide neckline and little cap sleeves outlined in crystal. "This Pretty Era" collection has been designed for Anna Miller by Earl Luick, who has had a distin- guished designing career. . His background is Paris, Hollywood and New York. He is responsible for the unforgettable costumes in Noel Coward's motion picture, "Caval- cade," as well as many other out- standing screen successes. SMART AS PAINT In the early days of settlement, paint was a symbol of social pres- tige. The homes of a town's most well-to-do citizens could be recog- nized by their gleaming paint coatings, and "common" people were not supposed to distinguish their homes with the use of paint. Time changes all things, but paint might still well be regarded as a "badge of solvency" for any property. A coating of white or light tints will show up food stains conspicu- ously and prompt their removal. The covering will help to seal the wood against staining and its shining surface will tend to discourage the insects.
