SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1948 m THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU Mirrors Somet imes Tell Lies By HELEN JAMESON Let the sisters cheer up, not let their beauty griefs get them down. Let them realize that nearly all mirrors magnify defects. It is the solemn truth. Some mirrors are meaner than others. No doubt you have come in contact with them. One glance and you say to your- self "It is not possible that I look like that. The woman in the look- ing glass is a stranger to me." Wrinkles that are scarcely no- ticeable will loom up like irriga- tion ditches. "See that line?" you say to some member of your fam- ily. "It is terrible!" Like as not the answer will be, "I don't see any- thing but the tiniest little furrow. It isn't worth bothering about." Pouchy little hammocks under the eyes look twice as pouchy as they do to the onlooker. Coarse skin, too, is accented by the reflec- tion. Even so, place your mirror in a strong light. so that you will see exactly hom , much powedr you should apply. Put on a little at a time and keep adding. Then, when there is an even distribution, use the camel's hair powder brush. There will be a soft, smooth sur- face, no patches, If you feel the meed of complexion coloring, use the compact pad lightly. Have a separate pad for blending powder and rouge. If you are in the habit of extend- ing your eyebrows with the crayon, be sure the pencil has a sharp point, and that you can see clearly what you are doing. Don't form a straight line do little strokes along the silky fuzzers, then make the lightest possible line at the far end. The pencil should be dark brown, never black. When applying mascara to the lashes, use a quick upward stroke; it will give your winkers an up- ward tilt. Keep the brush away from the skin. Smudgy eyelids are a good-looks crime; mascara ad- dicts often have them. A full-length mirror is a wonder- | ful incentive to keep the figure | trim and youthful. Few of us see irrors are meaner than others. * bp ourselves in full form, It is when we go to a dress shop and slip into a new number that we may be aware that changes have been going on, changes that are not for the better. The erect, smooth back may have acquired a bend. That extra inch at the waistline shows up. Hips may be fashionable, but who wants them? A full-length mirror, together with daily consultations with the bathroom scale, should keep any woman from losing the trim silhou- ette. Extra pounds creep up on one. A few this year, twice as many next. Then what? One feels too discouraged to start a war against adipose tissue. GUIDE NEWS By MRS. D. H. RICE HIKING Hiking is the best preparation for good camping. A camper cannot be made overnight. Every company should have lots of hiking -- short hikes and long hikes. Arthur Jackson, Field Commissioner for Boy Scouts, says: "Every hike should have a purpose !" Tenderfoot and Second Class work Provide plenty of purpose. Let your irst hike be a short one if you like. Lay a trail for your Guides to follow, play a stalking game learn some- thing about the best woods for fires. Next june go on -- teach fire Jghting, simple outdoor cookery. There is end- leas scope. Of course, the very {first thing a Guide should learn, is respect for other peoples property and outdoor tidiness. 'o break these rules is to do a great injury to Guiding. IST "BROWNIES The Pack enjoyed the "Train" in- spection again. The train was so long that Brown Owl couldn't pull it over the hills so Tawny had to join in for a second engine.

Packie Noreen Brennan served the visitors. A little visitor, Carolyn King, put the Squeeze away. The Pack says 'thank you" to Mrs. Leslie and Mrs. Burrows who pre- pared lunch. 12TH GUIDES Good work, 12th Guides! You have sold 331 dozen doughnuts for the Crip- led Children's Fund.

To keep tiny wrinkles from form- ing when ironing a startched col- lar, press the iron formly on the outside edge of the collar and stretch with the left hand, iron- ing 'from the outside edge in tow- ard the collar band, thus bring- ing any looseness of material in next to the collar band where it js needed when the collar turns down. This also prolongs the life of the collar, 4 | = Sr -- 'YWCA Schedule For Next Week MONDAY Ceramic Class Brownies Gril Guides Y-Ette Club Leather Glove Class Art Exhibit TUESDAY Slipper Class Jr. Y-Teen Club To-keep-fit Class Oshawa Chess Slub Art Exhibit WELNESDAY Beginner's Leathercraft Brownies Camera Club Archery Class Camera Club Beginner's Leathercraft Osha-Y Club Bridge .

Send your order to DAILY TIMES | | | A Physician Advises You By HELMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. NEW WAY TO TAKE MEDICINE The so-called aerosal treatment, developed during the past few years, gives the doctor still another method of giving needed drugs by the simple means of having the pa- tient breathe them. The selection drug is put into so- lution which js then turned into a very fine mist by means of a high- power atomizer, By breathing this mist, the patient brings the drugs into the most inaccessible parts of the air passages and lungs. Special Apparatus Hospitals have special apparatus for converting the solution into a mist by blowing a current of oxy- gen through it. Simpler ones are now available for home use, though it should be said at the out- set that the ordinary atomizer in current use will not do the trick since it does not give a fine enough spray to penetrate deeply into the air passages. Aerosol therapy may be used for two purposes. One is to give the general effects of such a prepara- tion as penicillin. When the peni- cillin is breathed into the lung, it is absorbed into the blood and thus may be effective in overcoming in- fections in various parts of the body. The aerosol penicillin may be used in the home when a nurse is mot available to give the penicil- lin by injection. Action of Penicillin However, the greatest effects are obtained from the action of the penicillin on the lung tissues. Thus, it may be employed in the treat- ment of infections of the trachea or windpipe, the bronchj or tubes in the lungs, and pneumonia, which is an infection of the lung tissues. Chronic or long-continued infec- tion of the lungs also may be aided by this form of treatment. For ex- ample, it is used in chronic bron- chitis and in bronchiectasis, a con- dition in which the bronchi are dilated or enlarged. Affected Lung E Sometimes, .in cases' of bronchi- ectasis, operations are required for the removal of a portion of the af- fected lung. Prior to operation, aerosol treatment may be extreme- ly useful in reducing the dangers of the opertaive procedures. Substances other than penicillin may be given in the form of an aerosol, In certain conditions, such as chronic bronchitis, there may be { a collection of excessive amounts of | mucus in the bronchi, and swelling of the lining membrane. The giving of epinephrine in the form of an aerosol may aid greatly in shrink- ing these lining membranes, and getting rid of the mucus, and open- | ing up the air passages. | . Aerosol administration of epine- | phrine may also be employed in the treatment of asthma. It would seem that this form of treatment for asthma is not employed as ofen as it might be. | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | A Reader: Is tuberculosis of the bones hereditary? Is it catching? | Answer: Tuberculosis of the | bones is not hereditary nor is it a catching disorder unless the patient | has tuberculosis of the lungs and | expels these germs while coughing. Have you noticed how dated short skirts and light toned stockings are? | Better let down those hems and save | blond and b | eige stockings for sum. mer wear when the sun.tanned look is the thing. | She Can Sew This! GLAMORIZING Your 'Scent' Collection By HELEN Toilet waters are particularly appropriate for the spring season when you prefer lighter scents. Dab a * THIS ig the time of year when it is a grand idea to switch from perfumes to toilet water. Perfumes belong with woolens, velvets and furs and the general accoutrements of the winter season. When the crocus blocms and the snowdrop ap- pears, lighter scents seem more in tune with the season. Many favorite toilet waters were wartime casualties, but now they are back on cosmetic counters and a good thing, too. They are the correct selection for young girls who, when they carry heavy per. fumes, are out of step with their | age and the rhythm of perfect] grooming: that girls are now going | after in a big way. Same Formulas | Toilet waters are really "exten. | sions" of perfumes. You can get | both of the same formulas. But | there -is this sweet and lovely dif. | ferefice. Perfumes cost plenty. Toi. let waters are inexpensive. You can | slather them on like mad and never | have a conscience pang, because | they aren't making a big hole in the beauty budget, By MURIEL NARRAWAY Canadian Press Staff Writer London--(CP)--Hats that ran the limit in frivolity, femininity and color were on display at London's spring hat shows with designers reaching for flowers, fruit, feathers, ribbons and veiling as close to the Paris trimmings as possible. Many of the new styles are worn straight on the head, requiring a fringe effect. With upswept hair styles they are reminiscent of the French Impressionist school: the deep - crowned, narrow - brimmed boater of RenoX and the wide-brim- med bonnet with upswept back, fluted front and floral decoration of Manet, Recalling Victorian days were Ninichh bonnes with shallow; for- | ward movements, the back cocked | up "parson's style," flat little sail- ors with traditional crowns, often have lace overlays; saucer-brimmed Bretons, Watteau plates as flat as trays; half hats with nothing at the | back; shepherdesses with wavy brims. There were also big hats, cartwheels, sailors or coolie style; Watteau bonnets with wavy brims filled with flowers and fruit; poke styles and toques. . Austin O'Connor introduced the "Beefeater." A small reproduction of the real "Beefeaer" worn by Tow- er of London guards, it was created in black fur helt having a black veil coming from the crown, caught at * Frivolity, Femininity and Color Displayed in London Millinery FOLLETT little on your writsts and arms. * Outdoor girls should be keen about them because some carry the woodsy scent of trees and green, growing things. Keep your toilet water in an atomizer, if you have one. Spray it into the drawer where you keep your gloves and hankies. Toss a bit of fragrant mist on piles of stockings and undies. In course of time your entire wardrobe will car- ry a faint, floretted odor. Old.Fashioned Scents Lily of the valley seems to be one of the leading numbers among the old-fashioned scents that are re. turning, giving the sophisticated blends or bouquets a run for their money. You will also find rose, mig- nonette and violet. Where violet | has been hiding itself all these years, nobody seems to know. It has a quaint character, seems to belong to the new spring modes. Put a few drops of toilet water back of your ears, in the bend of your elbows, on the hems of your skirts. You will waft about in a pleasing aura. ' the throat with a choker ribbon, the veiling continuing below and decor- ated with bands of white lace. This made an attractive jabot or, when the veiling was swung to the back of the hat, a collar. For photographic purposes some of the models were worn by Hazel Court, British film actress. One | such was a muffin-shaped pink fur | felt with velvet ribbon chin tie, The | hat itself was covered in dark veil. |ing and decorated all over. with pearl beading stitched in star shapes. Other models of the muffin shape were composed entirely of flowers. A navy felt cartwheel had a coarse yellow straw underbrim; its narrow self ribbon catching with neat little bows on either side of the crown heavy heads of ripe yellow wheat. A black, fine straw, coolie type with side swept brim, was decorated with two large red roses. Large Breton sailors with fruit or flowers snuggled in their crowns sometimes sported ruched satin rib- bon on the edge of their upswept brims. The boater sailors were liberally decked with fruit, flowers, ribbons and veiling, the veiling often used as a chin tie. Two fine, pink, Baku straws show- ed variations of the boater poke bonnet, straight edged and small, had a jabot veiling decorated with pearl beading. Just what all the SubTeen Set is wearing!

"I can remember when Doug and Mary and D. W. (Griffiths) were in on the start of the Academy a couple of decades ago. The first actor to get an award was Emil Jannings for 'The Way of All Flesh. I bet that's one Oscar the Academy would like to get back. "Then there was the night that vice-president Curtis, 'came from Washington to give the award ad- dress. He talked for a couple of hours. Roscoe Ates had most of the crowd out in the lobby watch- ing him put on an act while Curtis talked. Will Hays used to talk at those early ones, and that was something, too. Enough Drama "There's been enough drama at the awards for a number of pic- tures. Like when J. L. Warner and Hal Wallis had almost a running race to see which would receive the 'Casablanca' award. J. L. won, and Wallis left Warners soon after- ward. And when Sam Goldwyn and Willie Wyler exchanged com- pliments over 'Best Years'--and then went back to their feud. "And when Olivia DeHavilland and Joan Fontaine tossed unsister- ly words backstage last year. "There have been nice moments, too, Like Bob Hope's giving an Os- car to his pal Bing for 'Going My Way'--and then clownnig while Bing made his speech . . . Jimmy Stewart in his army uniform, get- ting his for 'Philadelphia Story. When he got home, Burgess Mere- dith looked at the Oscar and said, 'Where did you get that--Ocean Park Pier?' Sickbed Award "Then there was the night Joan Crawford got her 'Mildred Pierce' award at home in a sickbed . . . when 'It Happened One Night' swept nearly every Oscar in the book . . . when Jimmy Dunn heard he was getting one and let out a "Whoop!" that echoed through Grauman's Chinese . . . "Unforgettable faces Luise Rainer, who won two years in a row, then faded from the Holly- wood scene . . . Harold Russell, who proudly held an Oscar in each artificial hand . . . "Yes, the Academy Awards are sentimental and pompous and over- glamorized. But I'm darned if I don't get a kick out of them.™ .

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My husband and I have decided that this year it is particularly important to send out Easter cards, because we chose ones that have a message very significant for the struggle for 'peace and "the rolling away of the stone." Since we were married just after Christmas, this is the first time that we have sent greetings on cards together. How should these cards be signed . . , . wouldn't "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith" be correct? I think so, be- cause we have been s0 recently married that we should use this name, But my husband thinks this form of signature is too for- mal, and that I should sign our first names. Which of us 'is right about this? Reader Your husband is. In the signa- ture to a letter or a card it is your informal name you sign, never your name with a title before it. So sign your cards Dolores and John (or John and Dolores' if you con- sider it more polite to write your husband's name first, since you are signing the cards), Or, if, for more identification, you need the last name, sign: Dolores and John 8mith, Or there may be several cards on which it would Re neces- sary to include your formal name. Sign them like this: John and Dolores Smith (Mr. -and Mrs. John Smith) (And deep salutions to you and your husband for your spiritual point of view about the powerful significance of sending Easter cards this year, when this troubled world so needs the Easter message of Peace and Hope.) How To Introduce the Mother Of Her First Husband Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My sister-in-law is divorced from her first husband, by whom she had four children. She is now mar- ried again. Recently the mother of her first husband came to visit her, and when I went to call on my sister-in-law, she introduced me to her former husband's mother by saying, "I want you to meet my mother-in-law." After greeting her, I quite naturally said to her husband, "I am so happy to meet your mother." "No," my sister-in-law said, "this is my first husband's mother." A week or so after this, my sister-in-law was dis- cussing this, and I told her that this woman was no longer her mother-in-law and that I thought she should have said, "This is my children's grandmother." Which of us is right about this? FL. Your suggestion as to the pro- per form for this introduction was an excellent and correst one "this is the children's grandmoth- er." Any introduction that is con- fusing to either of the persons be- ing introduced is not a correct in- troduction . . . and obviously it was your sister-in-law's fault that you were mistaken as to this woman's identity. She is not now your sis- ter-inslaw's mother-in-law , . . she Club Calendar Next Week MONDAY Pleasant Mon. Aftem Club. Past Matron's, O.E.S. TUESDAY Salvation Army Home League. Christ Church W.A.

Plans For Her House Wedding, ' With Civil Ceremony When a civil marriage ceremony is to be performed at our wedding in my home, is it correct for me to wear a white wedding dress and finger-top veil? This is my first marriage and is also my fiance's first marriage, but for a very spec- ial reason we are to have the civil ceremony. If you tell me it is cor- rect for me to wear the bridal cos- tume (long but trainless white chif- fon dress, tulle veil), my fiance would like to wear formal day at- tire (cutaway coat, stripped trous- ers, appropriate accessories) . . . is this correct? Also I would like to have my sister as my only ate tendant, and the bridegroom would like to have his brother as best man. Please advise on these plans. Shirley B.
