. : ~ . MONDAY, MAY 3, 1948 THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEM BEAUTY FOR YOU Fingers That Fidget and Fuss By HELEN JAMESON | Girls who like to make pretty : plctures of themselves--ang what girl doesn't--should be mindful of their hands, not let them get out of hand, as it were. Evidence of the tension of the times, general rest- lessness, is seen in nervous hands. 'When hands are not busy, they should be in a state of repose. And very attractive they can make themselves, too. Look around you the mext time you go-to a party. You'll be surpris- ed. Girls are digging at the cuticle around their fingernails, or playing with some dress ornament, or twist- ing a handkerchief. It would seem 148 if the. digits must be continually th a state of nervous movement. To observers, this habit is dis- .tracting. It annoys. It takes one's mind away from conversation. Millions of fingers are jiggling, twisting, fussing. Why can't they be still? We asked a physician about this habit. Why? There must be a rea- son "It is caused by nervousness," he explained, "When a girl has phy- sical and mental poise, the hands are still. When this finger-twid- dling habit is established, it is dii- ficult to overcome. Usually the vic- tim is unconscious of it. The ends of the fingers contain nerves that are particularly delicate and sensi- tive; they communicate directly with the nerves of the brain, just as the nerves in the palms of the hands are closely linked with the nerves of the digestive organs. 'The habit is common among men and women who are easily ex- cited and stimulated and who are likely to have quick, nervots move- ments." : Fingertips, being highly . sensitiz- ed, seem almost to have eyes. A woman can arrange the curls at the back of her head without miss- ing a hair. We can go into a dark room, pick up an object "by the feel" of it. And, did you know that hairdressers, passing their fingers over a shaft of hair, can tell which is the root end and which is the other. terminal? The shaft is com- posed of tiny overlapping scales Girls should be mindful of their hands. * + 0 that emerge from the scalp. Rub- bed downward, the shaft is smooth; rubbed upward, the 'surface is rough. Getting back to twiddling fingers: It is wonderful what they can find to do. They pull at ear lobes, an unlovely habit, They twist buttons. Worst of all is digging at finger- nails. The girl who is good company is the one who makes her companions feel comfortable and at ease. This state of affairs is not possible if the girl is fidgety, on the move, restless. That is one reason why the shy, 'quiet little lassie captures the swell guy for a husband, while the life of the party may npt. She may be a bit too wearing on the nervous system. TIPS FOR TEENS How About This Girls? By ELINOR WILLIAMS tran a tps An ex-GI., not long out of the 'teens and' just back from Europe, has some interesting things to say about the differences between girs here and there. His tips will tell you how to improve your personality and make a better impression in the date department -- vital for the ro- mancé everey 'girl wants later in life. "After living in Europe several years, it seems to me that American girls are inclined to think that ev. ery date involves spending money," he states. "The amount of money dates don't require money -- walk- ing, talking, an evening at their home or at the home of friends. They seem to think 'going out' is the only kind of date worthwhile. As a matter of fact, helping each oher with chores can be fun if you enjoy being together. "Some girls here don't show as much consideration for older people as they should. In Europe it's con- sidered part of every girl's bring- ing up to show respéct and consider- ation for her parents and others who are older. It makes a bad im- spent isn't the only e of a pleasant date. It's whether you en- joy each other's company and have fun together -- whether you have similar interests and like to do or talk about some of the same things. "It's the same with friendship. The basis of friendships ought not to be how much money a person has or where he or she lives. Or how often he can afford to take you to the movies. Similar interests are the most important basis for real friendship and romance," he con- tinues. "American girls are less likely to suggest doing things during pression on a boy when he hears a girl speak or see her act rudely to older people. "Why do so many American girls boast 'that they can't do anything domestic? Some always brag that they 'can't boil water.' If they want to get married they ought to know how to do things around the house. Most of them talk about clothes too much; the rest of their conversa. tions is just wise-cracks. Why don't they really discuss things?" : (How about it, girls? Your replies to this ex-G.I. will be printed in. this column if you mail them to Elinor Williams at this paper). The word cosmetic comes from the Greek and means "to adorn or beautify," which is worth re- membering when you/buy your new dress holds for make up as well; if it isn't your style and you, don't know how to wear it, the whole ef- fect is lost, even if it is the finest in the world.

BUNDESEN, M.D. \ -- CANCER OF LUNG INCREASING Even as recently as 10 years ago, cancer of the lung was considered rare. Today, it is second in fre- quency only to cancer of the stom- ach and intestinal tract. This may not mean an actual increase but only that greater alertness and better diagnostic methods are bringing more of these growths to light, On the other hand there is evidence that this form of cancer is on the upsurge, due, in the opinion of some experts, to many irritants, such as smoke and chemicals in the air of our large cities and factory centers. In any case, cancer of the lung is today an outstanding problem since it is estimated that of the half-million cancer victims in the United States, more than 13,000 suffer from can- cer of the lung, Attacks Men Strangely enBugh, this form of cancer attacks men far more often than women. In fact, 70 to 96 per cent of those known to have it are males. Just why men should have a greater weakness in this way is not known dnd probably will not be known until the cause of cancer in general is discovered. Chronic or repeated irritation. is suspected as being an important contributing cause, and smoking is thought to play a chief role in producing this irritation, Definite evidence along this line, however, is lacking. The most common early symp- tom of lung cancer is a dry cough. Later on, during the coughing at- tacks, a great deal of secretion may be brought up from the lungs. The sputum often may have streaks of blood in it, and a massive hemorr- hage may occur at any time during the course of the disorder. Pain In Chest Wheeznig may indicate that the tumor has blocked one of the 'bronchi or tubes of the lung. If there is pain in the chest, it may mean there is some involvement of the pleura or linifig membrane over the lungs. Later in the con- tion, there may be fever, loss of weight and strength, hoarseness, and shortness of breath. The signs of the tumor growth vary depending upon its size and location, but there are often ab- normal signs, called rales, present during breathing. When patients more than forty years of age complain of unex- plained cough lasting over a month, the possibility of cancer of the lung should be kept in mind. A sudden onset of shortness of breath, without heart disease, also should make one suspect lung can- cer, Definite Diagnosis In making a definite diagnosis X-ray examination is important. However, such examination will only show that some abnormal con- dition is present and will not defi- nitely identify it as a cancer of the lung. However, X-ray examination, together with the symptoms, should make an accurate diagnosis pos- sible. Cancers of the lung do not re- spond to X-ray or radium treat- ment. The only hope of cure of this disease is early diagnosis and surgical removal. In most cases, i means complete removal of one ung. . QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS H. E. L. Will you please tell me something about edema under the eyes/ What causes this condition? A. Puffiness under the eyelids results from lack of rest and sleep. If you get sufficient rest and take the proper exercise each day, and the rings under your eyes still persist, there may be some dis- turbance in the water balance in your body. Some individuals have tissue which holds more water than others, and this collection of fluid in the body causes puffiness under the eyes. There is no need to worry about the matter, however, for the condition can cause no trouble, Favourite Crochet Fancy feathers for your fine chairs!

It must be rinsed away with warm water. After a gentle drying an astring- ent should be used. The selection of a light powder plays an important part. Some powders have a creamy base.

STRAND TRADERS LIMITED CANADIAN SALES AGENTS 468 KING ST. W., TORONTO Hollywood Highlights BOB BOB THOMAS Hollywood -- (AP) -- It has been a hard, 14.year pull up the.come- back trail, but Monte Blue is finally hitting his stride. Monte has just signed a featured player contract with Warner Bro- thers, where he once reigned as one of the great stars of the silent era. The event was another milestone in an amazing career that has ranged from the heights of fame to the rank of an extra player. Monte, a ruggedly handsome In- dianapolis orphan, spent an excit- ing youth as'a reportér, miner, cir- cus bareback rider, locomotive fire- man, cowhand and seaman. His wanderings finally led him to Holly. wood where he landed a job with D, W. Griffith--as a laborer. One day Monte got into a fight with four other wien. The battle ended with only one of the other men standing, and Griffith was im- pressed with the performance. Hg gave Blue his first acting job -- quelling a mob in "The Absentee," Blue stayed five years with Griffith as stunt man. Then got his first break in films with Toronto's Mary Pickford and Cecil B. DeMille. In 1922 he went to Warner Brothers, then a made-over livery stable in a barley field. He was a top star for 'Warners during the 20s. Casualty of Sound Monte was a casualty of sound. He tells a story about his year's stay in Tahiti for "White Shadows of the South Seas." One scene show- ed him ballooing across a lagoon. In Hollywood, a tenor's voice was dubbed in. The industry thought he was unfit for sound. "I made a few sound films," he says, "but the first talkies were technically crude. Players were be. ing crucified on the altar of experi- mentation." He retired from fils in 1931, took a world crise and returned to find his saving wiped out in a bank crash. He took a whirl at the stage, then returned to Hollywood. Rose To Bits He rose to bit parts and in 1942 went back to Warners where he has been ever since. He's happy with his new status as featured, player. His credo is Lewis Stone's advice when Monte was returning to films as a chara~ter actor: "Monte, don't aim for glory; stay just this side of it." TRAFFIC TRAGEDIES More school-age boys and girls lose their lives in traffic accidents than by any other single cause. Public safety officers believe that the best way to combat this terrible toll of young life is by intensive education of both children and adults in common sense safety habits. Each year in Canada some 15,000 children die, in trafic accidents, many of which could be prevented by proper training of pedestrians and motorists. Parents, drivers and all public-spirited citizens have a responsibility in helping to save our children's lives. That the important part service women played during the war has resulted in a women's defence corps becoming part of South Africa's permanent forces, which must b e very gratifying to the women who served so well.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: 7 I am plannnig to give a May Party for my little girl and a group of her little friends. I'm making paper costumes for them to wear at the party, and I'm trimming small boxes for favors. And we're also thinking of putting up a May- |. pole for the dance. Have you any other suggestions? R MR. Traditionally, on the moming of the party, the little hostess should leave at each guest's door the in- vitation (even though, of course, the guests have been bidden to the party before this. The invitation is attached to a flower or a bouquet of flowers nestling in a létle box or basket. Small strawberry boxes may be used for this. Paste green crepe paper over and inside tinem, fringe the edges, braid a handle of crepe paper (vari-colored, if sible) and fill the basket with flow- ers. (Or you might like to follow, the idea I saw last year at a chil- dren's May "Day party ,. . the mother of the Httle hostess had saved quite a few of these small strawberry baskets and, as one of the games at the party, the chil- dren decorated these baskets, filled them with small candles or with flowers and took them, the follow- ing day, to a children's hospital.) A Maypole dance is, of course, wonderfully appropriate, and also belonging to this day are such old English games as "London fd "Ring Around a Rosy," and "Tag." There is usually also the crowning of the May Queen and the May King. First a little boy is blind- folded, given a wand, and is di- rected to touch one of the girls with the "Sceptre" . , . she is then the Queen of the May, In the same manner a little girl chooses the King of the May. 8 If the party is to be indoors, you might have a "picnic" in the room, having the table and chairs pushed against the wall, and the Maypole in the centre of the room, planted in a flower bed. The flower bed is filled with sawdust, and cov- ' thing ere with green crepe paper, shred hoop at the. top of the gilded pols From 'a gilded embroidery are ed the gay-colored streamers. If the children are old enough, you might plan the May Quiz, often a feature of this party . . every question asked must be answered by a word that begins. with MAY. For example, "What is the name of a ship famous in his ?" Answer; "Mayflower." ocedure Of The Double-Ring Ceremony Dear Mrs. Beeckman: In a double-ring ceremony, at what time does the bride put the ring on the groom's finger? Who has the possession of the ring until that time? In other words, what is the proper procedure for this type of ceremony? T.U. Customarily the maid of honor takes charge of the groom's ring and keeps it in her possession un- til the proper time in the ceremo- ny, just as the best man has the bride's ring in his possession. The maid. of honor hands the groom's ring to the bride when the best man gives her ring to the groom; . and the bride puts it on his finger immediately after the groom has put her ring on her finger, Then the ceremony proceeds. : Proom Questions Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I am to go to our Senior Prom soon. (1) Should I wear my cor- sage on my coat? (2) Does my es- cort pin it on for me? (3) After the Prom, what is it proper for me to order to eat? PF. (1) On your way to the Prom you may wear your corsage on your evening coat, or, if more conven- ient, carry it on your evening bag. (2) He may follow this "romantic" procedure if he wishes! (3) Since there will be supper served at the Prom, take it easy about what you order-on your way home from the Prom . . . just a coke with .per- haps a sandwich or hot dog. No- "fancy" 'or expensive, Amateur 'Saint Joan' Wins Highest Praise Ottawa, May 3--(CP)-A rich in- terpretation of "Saint Joan" gave a Dominion Drama Festival audi- ence three hours of solid drm™a on Thursday night, and almost moved adjudicator Robert Speaight to #0 pysrhoatd in praise of the leadiNg aay. y Mr, Speaight was "reluctant" to discuss in detail the performance of Olga Landiak, as "Saint-~Joan," in the London (Ont.) little theatre production. He said any criticism would be mere quibbling. Hers was "the most satisfying performance of Saint Joan, that lives in my recollection," said the British actor and producer. Played before a packed house, the George Bernard Shaw classic drew an audience from miles around. One woman, Mrs. Clarence Gibson, said she travelled 400 miles from - her home in Stratford, just to see the production. Mrs, Speaight described the gen- eral handling of the play as "ex- tremely good." Just before leaving London, Eng. he had seen it per- formed at the Old Vie, and had wondered whether the Canadian group would have enough good actors to carry "the load of parts." But from the moment the curtain went up he felt at ease on that point. . As for Miss Landiak, he said she had successfully achieved that sense of profound interior life," so neces- sary in her role as a saint. From the moment she came on the stage, ' almost as an "apparition," she | managed that "extraordinary" qual- | ity of being apart from all the people around her. Two one-act plays are billed for tonight when Les Compagnons of Montreal, and the University Alum- nae Dramatic Club of Toronto | enter D.D.F. competition. | The Toronto group will present "Years Ago," by Ruth Gordon. "Antigone," by Jean Anouilh, will be Les Compagnons' D.D.F, entry. It is a dangerous custom to keep inflammable liquids in the home.
