a | WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1948 AS ad THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE FIVE ba BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Prettying for a Party By HELEN JAMESON When a woman gets into her gladsome raiment, does her very best make-up job, has a fresh hair- do, she hopes to goodness that she won't look wilted when the goodbyes are being said at the party and she (Starts on the homeward trek. It by as if that can happen to the healthiest and heartiest of the sis- ters. It's wonderful fo have staying powers, No doubt about it, having a good time can wear one to a When a woman reaches the autumn of life she is likely to cherisi the Jotion that having fun is more fa- , "uguing than work, so stie seeks her pleasures in books, simple pastimes that do not rob her of too much sleep, and memories 'of gay times of the past. She sees younger women fare forth in sartorial splendor, does not envy them. She knows that a crowded night club with its smoke=- laden air, plus coming home at dawn, will put a temporary blight on even the fairest flowers. The career girl who would look as frésh as a daisy when the gaiety -is over will space her dates. If she's up late one night she'll pile into bed the next. Nature will stand for just so much loss of energy and sleep and no more. One must have one's batteries recharged, If body and mind are not refreshed by restful slumber, one will have to pay in the form of lack-luster eyes, pale skin, lagging heels. You just can't beat that game. The girl who plays out early at the party is the one who rushes home 'at the last minute, hurries through dinner, dresses in haste and sallies forth panting with fa- tigue, aware that every nerve in her body is screaming at her to rest. A fine start. What can she expect in the way of poise and good ap- pearance? The smart young lady so arranges her plans that she can have a warm bath, a quick cold shower, a brisk rubdown. Then she places cold com- presses over her eyes, and rests in bed for at least half an hour. No speeded up make-up job for her. Carelessly applied blushes and lipstick smears will add to the ap- pearance of fatigue. She creams her frazzle. |.

By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Several months ago you wrote in your column about the delight and convenience of giving a late- Sunday-morning * breakfast party (a "brunch") in these busy days. I'd never thought about giving this kind of party, but as I péad your suggestions, it seemed a simple nd easy and inexpensive party to | . . and the "busy days" also * "ertainly caught my attention and interest! Now I planning to give a shower for a very dear friend of mine, and I'm wondering if you think it would be proper of me to give it with this kind of late-Sunday-morning party. The guest of honor and all of us in the group I am planning to invite, work week-days and several of us quite often in the evening. If you approve of my idea, what hour would you suggest? And what menu? DORIS M. Indeed, I heartily approve of your plan . . . and I'm sure you can and will achieve a more lei- surely note than if you tried to give the shower during your busy week-days. For the convenience of all concerned, you can name as late an hour as twelve-thirty, and still serve-an appropriately-break- fast menu; fruit o- fruit juice first; then eggs in some form (scrambled, shirred, baked) with crisp bacon or ham or tiny saus- ages, or small codfish balls--or waffles with creamed chicken tiny biscuits, hot rolls, popovers, toast or muffins; marmalade; coffee. To Eat . .. or Not to Eat ... The Lettuce of the Shrimp Cocktail Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I find it most difficult, and us- ually most embarrassing to eat the lettuce in the shrimp cocktail be- cause it- is usually in such large pieces and the tiny cocktail fork is very awkward for cutting it. Is there any solution? S.M. Probably the fact that so many people rebelled against this same ifficulty is the reason why we d the delectable shrimp cock- tail now more often served in small vive . plates which give convenient spage! for the accompanying lettuce as'a nest for the shrimp and the sauce! The lettuce served in this way is easy to cut and to eat. But it takes finesse and a certain amount of bravery (or perhaps it's brav- ado) to eat the large pieces of let- tuce in the shrimp cocktail glass . +. you may break the piece of let- tuce by using the cocktail fork, | then wind the piece about the fork, and proceed carefully as you lift the fork to your mouth. Or you may use the small knife or other silverpiece as an auxiliary to the cocktail fork. The pieces of let- tuce topped with a good cocktail sauce are too delicious not to be | cessary to have flower girls? eaten . . . and tliey can and should be eaten, as neatly and gracefully as possible. Bride Gives Every Bridal Attendant a Gift Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Will you please settle this dis- cussion between my sister (who is | to be married in June) and me: should be the bride-to-be buy every one of her attendants a gift, or does she give only her matron of honor a gift? READER. The bride-to-be gives a gift to every one of her attendants .. . matron of honor or maid of honor, bridesmaids, flower girls. But very often she gives a more important gift to her honor attendant than she gives to her bridesmaids. (And similarly, the groom-to-be fives a gift to every one' of his attendants, best man and ushers.) 4 Not Necessary to Have Flower' Girls Dear Mrs. Beeckman: We are planning to church wedding in June. have a Is it ne- L.B. No. * * @ Please Obey "No Smoking" Sign By Mrs. Beeckman You may want so much to have a smoke that you will think the "No smoking, please" sign is put there just to irritate you. But it really is put there for your protection as well as the protection of and comfort of others, and to obey it shows a decent considera- tion for the law as well as for other people. de ode of CONCERNING INTRODUCTIONS Introduction horrors . . . "let me mage you acquainted with--" "meet" or "meet my friend" or "meet my boy friend" or "meget my girl friend" or "meet my wife (or 'husband') ... or "shake hands with." Don't ever use an introduction-form that gives orders. The most convenient intro. duction-formula is the announce- ment of the two names: "Miss Smith . . . Mr. Robinson."

EE -., A AD SE... - LL PA , make ----- a ---- Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood -- (AP) -- One of Hollywood's proposed remedies for a sickly box-office is an injection of all-star casts. Big-name casts of the "Grand Hotel" calibre have been scarce in recent years except for some helt- er-skelter musicals. Several stu- dios mow are planning films with casts that will add high voltage to theatre marquees. With fewer pic- tures being made, the film minds figure they might as well double or triple up their stars in single movies. M-G-M is currently, working most of its long contract list in two pictures, "Command Decision" and "Words and Music." It has announced plans to put six stars into the forthcoming "Vespers in Vienna." David O. Selznick says he'll feature all his players in "The Greatest Show on Earth," story of the big top. R-K-O has all- star plans for its unknown soldier film, "Honored Glory," and also 20th-Fox with "Letter to Four Wives." Shirley Temple and John Agar agree never to fly in the same plane now that they have a child +. Remember Clara Kimball Young? She is living quietly in a comfortable home near the heart of Hollywood. The silent film star has been out of films since 1940. "I started acting when I was two and I've had my fil] of it," she says. Dana Andrews got a phone call on the "No Minor Vices" set that his yacht was sinking. He was about to dash to the harbor when he discovered it was a prank. Dana wasn't amused--he's trying to sell the boat and fears such stories will frighten buyers . . . Lilli Palmer is telling interview- ers she won't discuss her married life . . . Bob Hope says he could a fortune developing his Palm Springs subdivision, but he hasn't the time to devote to it. Too busy making money, I guess. VARIETY lends interest to the | new suits. Silky gabardine in pale blue or beige is used for a pretty suit which is designed to be worn with a very full cape back or nicely belted to give a restrained line. LE IT SEEMS as though some design- ers like the flat hat that sits atop a highish hair-do and bangs. White pique is used for a pancake-type hat, an import. It is piped with | navy, trimmed with ravy organdie and has a veil that comes from | the back to fall over the shoulder. The veil is navy and is edged with tiny lily of the valley "bells in starched white pique. ah J ELEGANCE marks a new group of pure silk sufts. Stiff tie silk in inky black is used for a suit whose jacket has a sloping shoulder; snug lines swirl out into a draped pep- lum to give a hippy look. The skirt is very full. ' + oP A CHANGE from the usual blouse is the design that includes a separ. ate cummerbund. Nice in a white polka-dotted navy blue silk blouse of the softened shirtwaist type. When worn with the matching cum. merbund, the skirt and blouse look takes on an added interest. LR MANY A GIRL who finds a hat that really does things for her, has the design copied in various fabrics and colors. One girl does this with a tiny peaked bonnet, while another girl is in love with a satin halo hat, complete with streamers, which is just as nice in pastels as it is in brilliant colors or in black or white. Good in straw or felt, : ~~ TIPS FOR TEENS Money in the Bank By You know that into each life some rain must fall, but are you doing anything about those rainy days? Many high schoolsters, both boys and girls, say that now and then they run out of money, have al- ready borrowed in' advance and have trouble in earning more for a dance or a date that they hate to miss. Here's an idea that lots of high schoolers have found practical: It's a "special fund" made to order for emergencies like gift shopping, big date doings and perhaps new clothes or even a trip. The idea is to put left-over mon- ey in the bank -- that dollar from last week's allowance or.the 50 cents you saved in a bargain yesterday. It doesn't tak» long for it to add up and it's a good feeling to see your savings mount. Actually, it's extra money; if you keep it with you, you'll spend it for things you don't need. If you put it in the bank, you'll have it when you need it. The interest you re- ceive will increase it, too. If you work at a soda fountain or another part-time job, why not bank regu. larly for future use? You will be glad you did when a special event shows up, and you'll get lots more satis- faction from i; than splurging on something you'll forget tomorrow, There's another big advantage in JINOR WILLIAMS ~[reiLer] ini having your own 'bank account, no matter how small. Your parents will be proud of you and they will ¢on- sider you more grown-up and de- pendable when you show them that you have ability to save. Knowing the value of money and how to plan it wisely--having it when you need it most--is one of the surest signs of maturity. )For tips on the easy care of oily hair, send a stamped self.addressed envelope to Elinor Williams at this paper.) A Physician Advises You By HERMAN N. BUNDESEN, M.D. MINOR FOOT ILLS A MANS occupation or profes- sion is frequently written in his hands by the calluses which his particular type of work causes te develop there. The hands of the blacksmith, the sportsman, and the gardener all show typical calluses, usually on the palm just below the fingers. In violinists and harpists it is the very tips of the fingers which are callused, due to the pressure of the strings. Since calluses are due to repeat- ed pressure or rubbing, they may develop anywhere on the body's surface. As we all know, the most usual place to find them is on the feet. Here, together with corns, they account for a major portion of the foot discomfort which is so preva- lent today. Layer of Skin Though both calluses and corns are made up of an overgrowth of the outer layer of the skin, corns never appear anywhere but on the feet, Otherwise, the only difference is' that corns possess a hard core or center which projects downward into the more sensitive skin layers. This accounts for the pain they cause. Usually developing over bony prominences, corns may also form between the toes. Corns in this location are called soft corns. The softening has occurred because of the moisture and rubbing present in this area. Corns are most usually due to the wearing of poorly fitting shoes which may be either too tight or too loose. Not infrequently, how- ever, there is some defect in ihe bones of the feet which leads to the development of corns. Corns may be confused with plan- tar warts which are due to virus infection. However, an examination usually will reveal which condition is present. Soften With Ointment In treating calluses, it is often helpful to soften them with a sali- cylic acid ointment. However, the only way* to get rid of them per- manently is to remove the cause which, of course, means stopping the rubbing or pressure. A corn may be eliminated by cut- ting it off with a sharp knife and extracting the core or peg. Then a felt pad, with the centre of it cut out, may be worn to relieve the pressure, Another form of treattnent is to soften the corn with a salicyclic acid ointment and then to cut it away. May Become Infected Corns may become infected. Hence, they must be treated care- fully and sterile instruments em- ployed to help infection from oc- curring. Corns in a diabetic patient or in one with hardening of the arteries require very careful attention be- cause infection in such cases oc- curs easily. If some defect of the bones is re- sponsible for the development of corns, it must of course be treated by an orthopedic specialist. No one, as a matter of fact, is ever jus tified in cutting his own corns. Trained, competent attention is ale ways required. Questions and Answers M. T.: My brother, who is fifteen years of age, loves sports. Every so often his knee gives way while he is playing. What should be done about this? A: It is advisable that an ortho- pedic specialist be consulted, and an X-ray of the knee be made to determine . just what disorder is present. A supporting brace may be of (elp, On the other hand, operative treatment may be required.
