THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 1947 PACE SIX BEAUTY FOR YOU - Eyebrows and Lashes By HELEN Perhaps you fancy fhat plucking the eyebrows is a diversion of the modern girl, a new idea. You're all wrong, if you do. The Chinese weeded their eyebrows 4,000 years ago. It would seem as if all pul- chritude whimsies go in cycles. There's nothing really new. That statement is particularly true of hair-dos. Joan of Arc's bowl cut preceeded Irene Castle's by more than 500 years. . Changes in good-looks patterns are usually all to the good. The trouble is that there are extremists who don't know where to stop. Arching the eyebrows made for neater faces. Destroying the pretty decorations and substituting the crayon, or letting the forehead go bald, are practices that have made many women look owl-like. By that we mean they seem to be all eyes and no 1f somebody--a movie star or a socialite--starts a fashion, others will subscribe to it, hoping that by "so doing they may increase their pulchritude, The wise woman pau- ses. There are Juan) Jo deomt, dis! ed women a e pr ing never touched their eyebrows other than to brush them into neat, glistening lines. They realized that the thin, skimpy line, like a whisp of darning cotton, would throw them completely out of character, Freak eyebrow designs--like brows lifted too high because of underborder tweezing--are out of the beauty picture. These crazy patterns made for vapid faces. The good-looks standard now is an ex- pression of intelligence. The wo- man or girl who is still wearing the mask-like look 1s lagging behind the pulchritude parade. All this doesn't mean that eye- brows cannot be remodeled--if you still have any material with which to work. Cosmeticians and beauti- clans have showed us the way to improve upon nature, That many women have abused these privileges JAMESON Freak eyebrows arg passe. *® DX = is apparent to any observer. If a girl has beautiful eyebrows, she shouldn't monkey with them. The wider line is the thing. It is still tapered, and is brushed smooth- ly to give the skeep effect. If the color is light mascara is used, spar- ingly and discreetly. Eyelashes are subject to change and thinning, hence the need for lubrication. Daily applications of mineral oil usually have a favorable effect upon the growth, bringing longer shafts and more of them. Mineral oil is not a menace to the eyes, Friction it in lightly. If there's a little lubricant on the lids that's all right, too. Lids shoul not carry a dull finish. The Experts Say By KAY REX Canadian Press Staff Writer ~ Ottawa, Aug. 15- (CP) --It's the fashion this sedson to' own a vege- table garden--and when it comes to meals, home ecoriomists of the ' consumer section, Dominion depart- ment of agriculture, know exactly what the well-dressed vegetable should wear. Just because French dressing is easy and palatable, there's no rea- son why tomato dressing, mayon- naise, or Thousand Island dressing, cannot be used occasionally on a plain lettuce salad. Croutons--those small cubes of bread which have been well dried and browned in the oven--make an interesting addition to texture and flavor of a lettuce or mixed green salad. Cooked vegetables' also often are improved if fussed up a bit. But- ter, is the all-round favorite, but during rationing bacon fat became a desirable substitute and it's use should be continued. It adds flavor 'to vegetables such as marrow or green beans. Horseradish, mustard, nutmeg, and paprika, added to cress sauce give it new piquancy. A teaspoon of honey* added to melted butter brings out the sweet, mild flavor of tender young carrots or baby beets. Here is a sauce which may be used on lettuce or vegetable salad and is especially good with cold meat: Cucumber Sour Cream Dressing: WANTED AMBITIOUS SALESLADIES Interesting Retail Work in New Modernized Store Full or Part Time Employment Opportunities for Promotion For Interview See M.

Beans may be deliciously good, tender, slightly crisp cool green, or a bright clear yellow, if properly cooked. Young crisp beans will snap when broken. Withered, rusty col- ored, or spotted beans, can never be turned into a good dinner dish. Many a housewife has her own idea on how beans should be cooked, but generally the "French cut'-- thin lengthwise slices-- are prefer- red by epicures. But no matter how beans are cut, they are best cooked in about one inch of salted water until tender crisp. French and cross cut beans require less time than when snapped or whole, 'At this time of year gardens usu- ally gre yielding a heavy crop of beans. Should the family tire of them served the same way every day, the agriculture department's home economists suggest a number of variations. A few chopped chives, or green onion tops, added just before re- moving ' from the fire, will bring out the flavor. One tablespoon of mustard added to one cup of white sauce gives a zest which adds to the flavor of either green or butter beans. Going Going -- And They Went While an auctioneer was knocking down an article of furniture with the usual formula, "Going, going, gone," at -a-sale in a cottage at Halse, Taunton, the floor collapsed and 14 people disappeared through t They fell into a cellar, 8ft. below, the existence of which was un- known either to the owner «of the house or the auctioneers. Three women were injured. The floor appeared to be made of stone, but after the collapse it could be seen that it was wood covered with a coating of cement. A member of the 'auctioneering firm said: . "The auction was in pro- gress when there was a splintering sound followed by a cloud of dust, and the centre of the floor gave way. . "The auctioneer, Mr. A. W. Tarr, was ome of those on the outer edge and he did not go through. An old- fashioned mangle, which was in the sale, was in the room, but fortun- ately remained supported by pieces of the floor" HOUSEHOLD HINT -- A few pieces of dried orange rind kept in the tea canister will give the tea a delicate new flavor. 'AUG. 4 to AUG. 16 Inclusive OPEN -- AUG. 18 A Physician Advises You By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. CAUSES OF BACKACHE The patient who suffers from pain in the lower part of the back ought to know right at the start that his doctor will probably not be able to find the cause of it without a thorough study. Backache is a symptom produced by dozens 'of different conditions, some trivial, others of the utmost gravity. Hence it cannot be relieved unless the cause is sought out and eliminated. According to Dr. Calvin C. Tor- rance ot Jamestown, New York, the search should begin with a com- plete history of the condition and go on from there to careful physi- cal and Xray examination. It is important to know first whether the pain starts suddenly or gra- dually; whether there was an accl- dent prior to its:-ocurrence; wheher the pain passes down the leg or other parts of the body; if it is made worse by coughing or sneez- ing; if it is more severe in the morning or night, or on a cold, wet day. The condition of the teeth and sinuses is important, since in- fections in these areas often may be cotributing causes for the back- ache. Tuberculosis of Spine Symptoms of tuberculosis must be looked for, since tuberculosis of the spine may produce severe back in, go backaches are a result of constipation. Some, in women, are due to disturbances of.the ovaries or womb. In men, prostrate gland infections may be responsible. Rare- ly, however, is backache due to kidney disturbances. Of course, backache may be the result of some disorder of the spine, or the joints in the spine, as well as of the muscles of the back. If there has been any history of accident or injury to the spine, X-ray exam- ination is important in making the diagnosis. The most common backache is that which occurs at the onset of some infection with fever, such as influenza, or a cold. X-Ray Helpful A break in the bones, or dislcca- tion is readily diagnosed from the history of the injyry, and by the X-ray. A very frequent cause is sacro- iliac 'sprain. The sacro-iliac joint is located between the lower part of the spine and the hip bone, and the straining or separating of the liga- ments which hold this point to- gether will cause backache and tenderness in the back. Treatment consists in strapping with adhesive tape, or the wearing of a supporting belt. Remember that backache may often indcate some serious condi- tion. It is not a disorder to be neg- lected, but one which requires care- ful study so that the cause may be determined promptly and treatment instituted, ° QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS A Reader: My finger-nails have become thin and brittle. Could this be caused from gland trouble? Answer: Certain glandular dis- turbances may be - responsible for soft and brittle nails. Of course, the exact cause of this condition cannot be determined, Careful stu- dy by your doctor is advisable. 15TH CENTURY FIND The discovery of a valuable = =e of 15th century Scots carving, hid- den for generations in a fish and chip shop wall at South-street, St. Andrews, Scotland, was reported to the St. Andrews Preservation Trust.

Department, | by small hands, mixed with a few GLAMORIZING -- : Hastily Applied Lipstick Ruinous | : By HELEN FOLLETT % A lipstick cleanser, which comes in a Landy purse size with a mirror attached, makes lipstich removal and re-application of make-up easy. LJ In Mid-Victorian novels the beautiful heroine always had a mouth like a*Cupid's bow. It pro- bably suited her as she was a ter- rible sissy--the prunes and prisms type--fainted at will and all that sort of thing. When the lipstick became an in- stitution, women discovered that full lips were no good looks liability. While they used it so daintly : at first that the members of the fam- ily were scarcely aware of its pres- ence, in time they got bolder. Now look at them! Without the rosy glow they feel as if they are not properly dressed. Smail Mouth If the mouth is small, the face full and nose prominent, it is a help to widen the lip portals, bringing harmony of features. Women have found out that the shape of the mouth can be improved by a few deft touches. Selecting a becoming color in lip- stick is equally important. This season of the year an orange-red is more likely to flatter the summer- touched complexion than the rasp- berry and wine tones that have been * L 4 popular for so long a time. Smooth and Soft The skin of the lips must be kept smooth and soft; a: good means of doing that is to use a white lip- stick at night or a pomade ' com- pounded especially for the purpose. Another way of keeping the lips _beautifll is to be mindful of the ex- pression of the mouth, keeping the lip ends lifted. Vivid pigment calls attention to this feature. A dour, grouchy look is accented. Lip biting, the primary cause of which is nervousness, can keep the cutaneous surface ragged. The cure will be found In greater attention to the lips, anointing them fre- quently, taking pride in them,, thereby developing a policy of auto- suggestion, To tell a girl not to bite her lips is not likely to bring results. To break this bad habit, she must develop a good one, keep her lips in perfect, smooth condi- tion. A lipstick cleanser, which comes in a handy purse size with a mirror attached, makes lipstick rempval easy. Using the mirror, you can then apply fresh make-up. Untried Sherlock Holmes Play Discovered in Bank Vault A. one-act play, written in an | exercise book by the late Sir Arthur | Conan Doyle and featuring his fa- mous character Sherlock Holmes, has just come to light. . His son, Mr. Adrian Conan Doyle, said that the play was found in an | old cardboard hat-bax in a bank | strongroom at Crowborough, Sussex. Sir Arthur, who lived at Crowbo- rough, handed over the box for safe custody; stowing away with the play a number of other manuscripts. Some of these also were of works never published, including "Some personalia about Mr. Sherlock Holmes," which is expected to shed new light on the question of how the super-detective of fiction, came to be created. The play is called "The Crown Diamond." Mr. John Dickson Carr, the writer of "thrillers," who is writing the biography of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, examined the find, and told a Daily Mail reporter: "The theme of the play is the mysterious theft of the "Crown Diamond," and Sherlock Holmes' method of making the thief betray himself. Early 1900's "Sir Arthur's writing changed at different stages of his life, but it appears that the play was written at about the time of "The Return of Sherlock Holmes," in the early 1900's. "There were about ten other man- uscripts in thé hatbox. One deals with the origin of Sherlock Holmes, and was used only partly in Sir Arthur's autobiography. "We have yet to make a thorough examination of the manuscripts. "Until that has been done it will be impossible to say what the Co- nan Doyle family will do with it." Mr. Adrian Conan Doyle said he regarded the personalia as parti- cularly impoftant--"It will, I think, answer all questions about Sherlock Holmes." "With Beaded Bubbles at the Rim And Purp A wet summer has made blue- berries big, juicy and plentful on upstate hillsides. Gathered mostly leaves and twigs to be sorted out, the berries are tinkling into pails now and getting promptly into pie tins. A story instancing the overall lik- ing for blueberry pie. arrived in Manhattan this week from a Cat- skill Mountain valley, far off a state highway. Two hot and bubbling blueberry pies had been taken from the oven by a farm housewife and placed on a window sill--fortunately screened--to cool. Hearing a noise the pie-maker. turned to see a young bear, attracted from near-by hemlocks by a sweet savor, pressing brown nose against the screen and regarding the pies as appealingly as a hungry puppy. A scream sent the disappointed and undoubtedly good- natured bear to look for blueberries not between crusts. It is'a bear, of course, who would | know just how to dig into a blue. | berry pie. For such [3 fresh baked le-Stained Mouth" pie, to be taken at its best, should be eaten in a farm kitchen on red- checked . table oilcloth. The con- sumer should have sleeves rolled up, a dish towel tucked under his chin, and he should swing a soup spoon, rather than a fork. The. blueberry pie, with its de- lightful but too indelible stain is not for table damask nor for a plate whose circumference makes a small serving rative and unfortunate. A soup plate is often just right and goes with the spoon needed to ladle up the juice. A blueberry pie must not be at- tainted by lemon, cinnamon or the disgraceful European notion of nut- meg. It should be flavored only by enough sugar, a chunk of butter, a considerable dab of blue sky and a morning spent in late haying. Given these things, the first blueberry pie can bring any blagk 'bear a long way and make any hill country American glad that he belongs to the pie-eatingest race on God's blue- berry footstool. --New York Herald Tribune. Danish Students Tour London As Guests of Business Women Because a band of business and professional women happened to be holding their annual conference' in Glasgow this month, 27 Danish boy and girl musical students realised their ambition of touring London. The students, here under the au- spices of the International Fellow- ship of Reconciliation, were enjoy- ing Scottish hospitality in the cot- ton-spinning town of Paisley. Every- thing was perfect, except that lack of accommodation and lack of Brit- threw open their Youth Centre at Sunbury on Thames, and 27 de- lighted Danish boys and girls came to the city for a day. Their first sightseeing favourite was St. Paul's Cathedral, next came Big Ben, then Buckingham Palace. The girls, of course, wanted a glimpse of Princess Elizabeth and her flancé, but were not lucky. All looked sad at the sight of bombing. After a day of sightseeing, those who could still keep their weary ish currency made a visit to Lon- don impossible. This came to the ears of the Fe- deration 'of Soroptomist Clubs of Great Britain and Ireland, as they- passed their resolutions and pro- posed their votes of thanks at the conference. The boys and girls, they decided, must go to London. So three Lon- don clubs provided the necessary eyes open-attended a party throgn by other visitors at the Youth Centre. Here one of the Danish girls sang "Loch Lomond" in perfect English assisted by rollicking Eng- lish voices for the choruses. : "They were thrilled with every- jhe Salvation Army, who mothered 'them at the Youth Centre. "They were so punctual, and their manners thing," said Major Lena Dennett of | plainly Movie Column By BOB THOMAS Canadian Press Staff Writer Hollywood, Aug. 15.--(AP)-- Burt Lancester and Edmund O'Brien, two fair-haired boys at U-I, are lined up in competition for the lead role in "All My Sons," from the Pulitzer prize play ot last season. Both are vying for the role which Arthur Kennedy created on Broadway and it looks as though Burt is going to be the victor. Al- ready set in the cast are Edward G. Robinson and Mary Christians. Joe E. Brown learned from the State Attorney's office in Chicago that a man who has been posing as his son for some time has been cap- tured in Dallas. The impersonator has reportedly been bilking women in several states and was sought widely by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Irene Dunne is one actress who worries about what the critics write about her performances, Her last two films have been from the stage hits "Life With Father" and "I Re- member Mama" and from now on she says "I'll only do original stor- ies for the screen." She said it in- vites too much comparison to play a role already created by a stage actress, . . . Eve Arden did a great job in "Biography" at the LadJolla Play- house and it should help awaken Hollywood anew to her fine comedy talents. The Hollywood Bowl ad- vertises simply, "Coming Aug. 23-- Margaret Truman, soprano" . .. . Bette Davis will have no commut- ing' troubles when she starts "Win- ter Meeting" next month, An apartment has been built for her at Warners. Al Jolson got a sound roasting from topmost members of his pro- feSsion as a stag "roadmaster" din- ner in his horfor at the Friars Club. Frank Sinatra claimed Al was a "tribute to every clean-cut young American millionaire." Jack Ben- ny, referring to his services as a radio guest star, said "I need Jol- son as I need F. E, Boone." Irving Berlin hang a special song and Bob Hope, George Jessel, Ed- gar Bergen and George Burns de- livered other speeches. The ageless (he says it's 59, but friends claim much higher) Jolson Said he: 'This is one thing Larry Parks had nothing to do with." Parks was not present. Brief Review 'Life With Father" (WB--121 mins.) is a highly competent film version of the Clarence Day near- classic. It would be more effective if the story were less familiar, but even so, it packs a large amount of charm and humor. Father's pro- fanities are missing, of course, but William Powell plays him to the hilt. His fine performance is aid- ed by the perfect foiling of Irene Dunne. Stowaway Women Hid for Two Months The adventures of two fair-haired women who stowed away in an 8-000-ton steamer, enjoyed a 60- day cruise in it, and visited nine ports--all without the knowledge of the captain--were told at Liverpool Magistrate's Court. Miss Dorothy Doreen es, 21- year-old London shop assi: t, and Mrs. Lilian Crees, 23, of Bury, Lan- cashire, pleaded guilty to stowing away in the S.8. Skeldergate at London. Both were bound over for a year. Mr. J. W. Bonner, prosecuting, said that Mrs. Crees was married to to ship's cook. The Skeldergate left London for Naples on May 13, when the two women stowed away and were.not discovered until two months later. They were found in the quarters of two of the crew when the ship's master, Captain Donald Butterwick, made his inspection at an unusually early hour, : | tragts used, Dear Mrs, Beeckman: Our daughter is now ten years old, and when I was about that age, my mother and father began to give me presents of flat silver, one or two pieces on birthdays and other special occasions, in a beautiful sim. ple pattern in sterling silver. So, when I was married, I had the com. plete set, and I treasure it with a very special family-sentiment. Do you think it would be a good idea for us to start this plan with our daughter? I have mentioned it to her several times, but she seems not the slightest interested, seems indeed to be quite bored with the whole idea. Perhaps my memory isn't too good, but it seems to me 1 was thrilled at the idea when I was her age! Can you explain her indif- ference? And would you advise us to follow our plan, or drop the idea? L. B. Thid loving plan of your parents followed a fide tradition, and in your case their taste, in type and design of silver, fortunately com- pletely corresponded with yous taste. But today many, many girls, like your daughter, haven't the slightest interest in this plan or in the sweet devotion that prompts it, are snooty about having 'anyone else presume to choose their silver pattern, and place no value on the charm of tra- dition or on family-chosen (or fam- ily-owned) possessions. They think ...and say!... they prefer to wait and choose the "latest thing" in style of silver current at the time of their wedding. So unless or until your daughter shows real interest in your devoted plan, I advise you not to go on with it. Instead you might start a special "silver account" in a savings bank, letting the money, in- stead of the silver set, "accrue." Then when the time comes, your daughter can, with this money, choose the silver pattern nearest to her heart's desire.

However, I believe it would be friendlier and more practical, less trouble too, to write brief notes reading something like this: Dear Janet: This is to tell you and Bill the news that John's and my son arriv. ed on Monday, September 8th. I have named him John Peter Hall, and John would have been ver proud of him could he have tivg to see his son.
