Fe ' MONDAY, JANUARY 26, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE i PACE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Reducing the Bust By HELEN JAMESON Bven the best of experts in re- ducing and figure-remodelling sa- lons find it a difficult job to nor- malize breasts that have gone all out on a policy of expansion, It is expected that the heavyweight will have a bulging shelf on the north- ern portion of her torso but it also happens now and then that a wo- man who is slender will develop breasts that are out of proportion to the rest of her anatomical set- up. To reduce this adipose upholstery requires persistent effort, day in and day out, in the form of exer- cises that will strengthen the un- derlying muscles and tighten the tissues, Of course, as is the case with many good-looks griefs, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. When over-devel- opment seems on the way, deep breathing should become a habit. Ten minutes should be devoted each day to calisthenics that lift the arms, the chest and the shoul- ers. If you are among the too-busty girls, and the beauty budget will permit the investment, a rowing machine will probably prove effec- tive and fairly speedy of results. These machines fold into the space of a small suitcase. So don't fancy you'll have to tun one room of your house into a gym. Here is an excellent exercise: Stand tall, chest high, abliomen in. Extend the arms straight out in front on a line - with the chest. Take a deep breath, at the same time lifting the hands high over your head. Hold your breath while you count three, then lower the ermms while exhaling. The hands should be sent far back, The breasts will be lifted with the first move- ment, lowered with the' second. Amm-swinging exercises are effec. tive. Double fingers and thumb in the palm of the hand. Send the hand forward, then out at the sides, very high, and far back, as if you were swinging a lantern, 8ix times with one hand; six with the other. There will be movements of muscles from the collar bones to the ribs. Strong muscles cast off Duotrbored by King Praroren Syndicate, boc. Reducing requires per * + adipose tissue. Fat cells do not like to be disturbed. Keep worry- ing them enough, and they will go off and die. If Mrs. Busty is generally over- developed--mwaistline too large, hips expansive--she must watch her diet. A cutting down on fats, sweets and starches means that she is no longer feeding her curves, She can have lean meat, poultry, fish that is not fat and other seafocd; she may have vegetables that do istent effort, not grow under ground--although a small baked potato once a day is permitted--plenty of green salads and fresh fruits, Tea and coffee must be taken clear. The snugly fitted bodice calls at. tention to a large bust; a little fullness coming from the shoulders will camouflage. Romantic Marriages Blamed For Our High Divorce Rates America is the birthplace and the cradle of romantic marriage, but it may become the burial grounds for the same institution. For our short. lived experiment with romantic un- jons, appealing as they are, has proved to be far from successful, This is the verdict of Dr. Ernest W. Burkess, professor of sociology of the University of Chicago, who reports in the current issue of Col- lier's the conclusions of a 16-year -study of the problems of marriage. "Falling in love has been the ¢ sanctioned prelude to marriage in the United States," he writes". . . * Nowhere else has it had so fair and BE EE RL A thorouigh 'a test, But today 'even its supporters are forced to admit the failure of this great American ex- periment. "The evidence of its failure is all over the place. The divorce rate has risen steadily until now there is one divorce for every three mar- riages. Divorce, once confined to our upper and lower classes, has pene- trated into our middle class." Mutual Understanding Essential Dr, Burgess declares that "physi. cal attraction or sex" should be re- legated to third or fourth place as essentials in a happy marriage. Mu- tual understanding, common inter- ests, and temperamental compati- bility, he says, are more essential to a successful marital union. Dr, Burgess reports that, in his 16 years of study of the problems of marriage, thousands of engaged and married couples have filled out detailed schedules, given frank an swers to scores of questions and "re- vealed their inmost feelings and at- titudes." All their responses have been correlated and analyzed. After declaring that the "zenith of the romantic movement coincid- ed with the career of Rudolph Val- entino," when countless women dreamed of Valentino as the perfect lover, Dr Burgess declares that "a new type of relationship between Pe sexes was (then) in the mak- ng." "Mature and intelligent young people, detecting the wham and the hollowness of romanticism," he says, "Sought sounger-yad more sincere basis fe lage, hey found it in companionship." He reports that the primary eon- clusion of his study is that "mar- rlages of companionship turn out FACTS WAYS) 70 RELIEVE MISZRIES OF BRONCHITIS Now get real relief from coughs, and congestion of brone '\, faces like a warme= etn ing poultice.

Dr. Burgess suggests that - our country is perhaps least suited to | romantic unions, because of the di- vergence of races and social back- grounds, "Our customs, interests, and ideologies are more diverse than those of any country in the world," he says. "And these and other dif ferences militate against the suc- cess of romantic unions," . One hagpily-- married. woman, whose attitude is said to be typical of wives in happy unions; is quoted as saying: .. "The" love we had when we were first married seems so small com- pared to the love we have come to |. know now. Sex life is not merely the physical satisfaction I thought it was going to be, but it is an ex- pression of love -- a much-needed outlet for deep-rooted emotion." Doctor Approves Dating - Dr, Burgess says that the custom of dating, which allows boys and girls to size up one another without embarrassment, has "gone far to undermine the philosophy of ro- mantic love and to prepare the way for companionship as the valid ba- sis for marriage." . He dismisses the romantic con- cept of "love at first sight" as a sound basis for marriage and pre- sents six stages of courtship which provide an opportunity for a man and woman to determine whether they can be happy in marriage. These stages are: First, casual dating; second, keeping company, but with the pri- vilege of dating otters; third, going steady (and not with others); fourth, an informal understanding that you'll marry; fifth, a private engagement, and sixth, a publicly announced engagement, "Couples should find out if they are companionable before they mar- ry," Dr, Burgess says. "They should first be friends and then be lovers. . . Then they will not be in the dilemma of one husband who told his wife that he loved her but did not like her."

BUNDESEN, M.D. SEVERE diarrhea, with vomit- ing; always means that the body loses a large percentage of fluid and with it certain water-soluble min- erals which are important to proper function, Since mew-born babies withstand such losses much less well than an older child or an adult, diarrhea in them is likely to be very serious and treatment must be prompt and effective if shock or collapse is to be prevented. Loss of fluid and other materials, particu- larly potassiun salts, from the tissue cells and blood serum must be made good as quickly as possible. This is usuglly done by the in- jection of eitBler whole blood or plasma (the fl part of the blood) into a vein. In addition, the lost potassium salts are, restored by injections of proper solutions of these salts given into a vein. Food Withheld . Food should be withheld until the fever is gone and the stools are no longer watery. However, the infant must be given a quantity of water. After partial recovery has occurred, the mixture of salts and glucose may be given by mouth. When the general condition has improved sufficiently, a milk mixture may be employed. Of course, breast milk is the best food to use. If it is not available, skim milk or buttermilk may be used, The amount of food is grad- ually increased. If the symptoms recur, the food is 'withdrawn and, in a day or two, started again in smaller amounts, i Fluids Given In cases of mild diarrhea, without vomiting, milk is usually not with- held any longer than from 12 to 24 hours, and the fluids can be given by mouth instead of by injection. Such things as the sulfonamide drugs and penicillin apparéntly are not of great value in most of the diarrhea infections in babies. How- ever, it must bc remembered that these diarrheas may be produced by various types of germs. For ex- ample, if the condition is caused by the dysentery bacillus, treatment with the sulfonamide drugs may shorten the course of the infection. Amino Acids If the diarrhea has continued for some time and starvation has been prolonged, amino acids may be given by injection. Amino acids are the substa: from which proteins are made. It should be borne in mind that a baby with diarrhea is a sick baby, often very sick indeed. The condi- tion progresses from bad to worse so rapidly in these little ones that no' time should be lost in getting them under the care of a physician so that proper treatment may be begun at once, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS L, A.

LJ THERE are rushing times when a woman needs a quick, pick-up beauty treatment. She is tired. Her very bones are tired. Her nervous system is tired. She has been chas- ing hither and yon, in pursuit of her activities, and a big evening is ahead of her, There are shadows under her eyes. She looks in the mirror. A strange, older woman looks out at her, Something has to. be done. She knows what t& do. Many times before she has found refresh- ment and renewed spirits by loung- ing in a hot bath for fifteen min- utes. Before stepping into the tub she removes make-up with cream, puts on her shower cap to protect the precious wave set. She has found out before that o goodly layer of cream on her sacred map, to- | gether with the steamy atmosphere of the bath room, will wipe away the tired lines, impart freshness to LJ * her countenance. And bath salts! 'They're the ticket. She uses them lavishly, They smell nice. She carries their fra- grance afterwards, like an aura, By scrubbing her body with a well- soaped brush of heavy bristles, she gets her blood streams traveling and they carry away the fatigue bugs. It is wonderfull She turns on the cold shower to shiver her timbers and increase the sense of well being that has come over her. With a towel so coarse that it takes hold like the pangs of a guilty conscience she gives her- self 'a rub down. Then comes a fric- tion with a fragrant bath tonic. The next step is to place ice cold pads over her eyes. Rest for half an | hour, She closes the doors of her mind, stops thinking. Then, before her dressing table, she removes the cream from her rejuvenated com- plexion and plays with making up. | Fashion Very good for wear under a coat now, and on their own later, are. charming little suits of wool jersey. A slim suit has a fitted, double- breasted jacket of pink and black checked wool jersey with a slim skirt of black wool jersey. LE SR Can it be that the white-fox- trimmed white coat is coming back. We hear tell of several aj Palm Beach, including a beauty, a fitted model in white broadcloth with a huge, swirling, petal collar of white fox. Another coat, very fitted through bodice and waist, and very full and swirling as to skirt, has a wide border of white fox at the skirt hem. * ob Repeated theme for spring is the one-piece dress that looks just like a blouse and skirt. Silk crepe is used for a charming frock of this type. The simple shirtwaist-type blouse, with plunging V neckline, is in oyster white, the skirt in oxford gray, and the wide, wrapped cu a- merbund is in blue-gray, making for a nice color gradation, * Many worfien have figures that are very full at the diaphragm in contrast to a relatively small bust- line. There's rejoicing for this type in the new girdles that ride three inches above the waist, obviating the need for the girdle and long- line bra combination, since this type of girdle almost meets the bra. Skillfully made, these girdles are easy to wear and give a very taut waist effect. * 'The current vag interest ex- tends to hats. A large hat of cream-colored felt is softly trimmed with silk chiffon in green, mauve and bluish-gray, the trimming worked to the back where it widens out in long, full, finely-pleated ja- bots. The brim curves softly in front. TIPS FOR TEENS Planning an Evening Date By "ANOR "When I date a girl" a high school boy says, "I like to have the evening planned. The problem is finding something to do that isn't expensive. What are some good ideas for date fun in a small town?" Many boys have the same prob- lem. But taking a girl out needn't mean running into danger of bank- ruptcy or boredom, because almost every town has a variety of "things to do." In the day time why not have a date for bowling, a sport that's al- ways good fun all the year 'round. You could als bowl in the evening, if 'you like. A skating rink, ice or roller, is another inexpensive place to spend an evening. In good wea- ther why not have a date for tennis at the public courts? Most girls like the game, and you both can en. joy it even if you don't play well. Perhaps there are hosts you can rent reasonably in summer, Although girls 'are usually the ones to give parties, there's no rea- son, why ypu can't invite another couple to yowr home, perhaps a WILLI4+ MS foursome, The more, the livelier. Try to invite enough girls and boys for fun and yet keep things under control, They'll enjoy listening to your records, dancing: (if you get up and begin it instead of coaxing them), playing card games that are fun for a group and easy, fun-mak- ing games that I'll gladly send you on request. All you need for refreshments ate soft drinks and cookies or vou could have a tray with various "makings" for sandwiches so every- body can concoct his own. T's would include sliced bread, crack- ers and several sandwich spreads. Cocoa is good in winter, too, espec- ially with cake. Do you ever take your date to small dances (or large ones) given by groups in town? You can ex- change a few dances and have a soda on the way home for a spec ial evening, (For tips on games for party fun send a stamped, self-addressed en- velope to Elinor Williams at this paper.), vg Hollywood By BOB THOMAS Hollywood (AP).--"Hey, Ame- e, invented anything lately ?

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 5 My. sister is going to have a baby in April, and my cousin is to have a baby about the same time. So Mother and I would like to give a stork shower for them, that is, a "double" shower. We have several questions. The first is, would this kind of shower be correct? Is it correct for us to invite friends of ours who don't know my sister or my cousin? And, on the other hand, could we invite friends of my sister and of my cousin whom we have not met? Wwila R. Whew! . I should think you would have "several questions" about such a complicated shower- plan! In the first place, although there are no absolutely definite rules-and-regulations about the giving of showers, there are certain suggestions that make good sense because they are based on good taste. Take, for example, that ques. tion as to who should give a show- er: if a member of the family gives a shower, it certainly gives the un- attractive impression of being a "promotion for gifts"; if an inti- mate friend or a group of friends plan the shower, it has the grace of a spontaneous gesture of fun and friendship. However, if you and your mother don't mind this inter. pretation (or perhaps criticism), my suggestion is that you give sa separate shower for each girl, in- viting only your sister's intimate friends to her shower, and your cousin's intimate friends to hers. (Combining the shower-arrange- ments and the groups of friends would be a heavy load!) An impor- tant shower-suggestion: since an invitation to a shower is a bid for a present, only those who know the guest of honor very well should be invited. On Your Check Write Doctor's Name Without Title Dear Mrs. Beeckman: What is the really correct way to make outa check to a doctor or dentist or other professional per= sons who regularly use a title with their names? For example, to a medical or dental doctor should a check be made out to Dr. John Clark, John Clark, M.D. (or D.DS.}, or John Clark? . 8. B, The really correct form is to make out the check to John Clark, with no title. In other words, you should make out a check to a pro- fessional person who uses a title just as you would make out a check to anyone else ... just the name, no Dr.; no degree-initials after the name; just as no "Mr." for a person without a title. (However, if to you it "looks better" to write "Dr. John Clark" or the name followed by the initials of the degree, this isn't con- sidered an error.) Husband Of Wedding Guest Must ' Also Be Invited Dear Mrs. Beeckman: After our wedding ceremony, we are not to have a reception--only a small dinner to which the members of the two families and several close relatives are to be invited. Among the close relatives are an aunt and uncle (on the bride's side) and their married daughter. Should her husband be included in the invitation? D. L. Yes; since the bride's cousin is being invited, the cousin's husband must also be invited. Appreciation .,. It's Wonderful Appreciation is an inspired vitae min! It makes people happy, sti- mulates their spirits, brightens their hearts. We all thrive on it. Watch and see how a few words of appreciation will give * encourage~ ment or confidence or courage to someone yearning at just that mo- ment for "the human touch."

LAMBOURN Toronto--(CP)--Canada's beauty queen, 19-year-old Margaret Marsh- all, wants wrinkles--and she hopes she can acquire them in two years. To prove to her public that she has brains behind her peaches-and- cream complexion, honey - blonde hair and blue-grey eyes, the unaf- fected Toronto girl hopes she can become a full-fledged actress com- plete with "actors' expression" -- series of lines about the eyes and mouth which result from stretch- ing facial muscles after a few years' acting. Miss Marshall said she was dis. appointed when she saw glamorous Hollywood actresses with wrinkles under their eyes and lining their foreheads. Then her dramatic teach- er explained that .they were trade marks of the theatre. "I want to act, and if I have to have wrinkles to do it, I don't mind," she said. With the $4,000 scholarship money she won in the "Miss Toronto" and "Miss Canada" contests, and in tak- ing third place in the "Miss Ameri- ca" competition, she is delving into the art of the theatre, radio and speech. Most of her day is spent in studying at drama school in pre- paration for the day when she hopes to please television, radio, or movie audiences. "People have forget: about me being "Miss Canada» she said. "Now I have te prove myself as Margaret Marshall." At the moment she is studying "Macbeth" and has received encour. feement from her dramatic instruc- ors, "My teacher tells me I've the right emotional set-up for serious roles, and in a few years might have the acting ability." But first Miss Marshall would like to use her singing and dancing ability in a light musical comedy, When she has an opportunity she sopes to renew singing lessons. And boy friends are "out" for "quite a while until I get started on a real career," said the former theatre usher. . "A lot of boys ask me out just so they can boast about being uot with 'Miss Canada," but I'm really not interested in men--for a while." She admits it is fun being "Miss Canada" but there are a few dis. advantages. She feels she must al. way "look the part" when often she'd rather dress in slacks and sweater, Neither does she like be- ing called Miss Marshall, "when my name is Margaret." creep up on one almost overnight?
