SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1948 "THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN | BEAUTY FOR YOU Care of the Fingernails By HELEN JAMESON "Oh bring back those wonderful days," is a refrain that runs through the minds of many women who recall a pleasant period of life when they could sneak a whole afternoon for a lovely, dawdling, restful time at the beauty works. Now existence seems to be a deli. rium of activities. Not only house- work, but P.T.A. meetings, the Woman's club, taking the kids to school and calling for them, end- less telephone calls from individuals who want to sell you things. So it goes. And Iook at your finger- nails! You haven't had a decert manicure in a coon's age. Can't spare a minute, L' .e millions of other busy wo- men you are probably doing your own nails, That's all right if you know how to make a good job of it. You cag, do a lot of damage if you aren't careful, especially when snipping off hangails. When one of these pests shows up, you can know it is high time to give your talons a thorough overhaul. 8g. Don't start by washing your hands. If you do, the nails will be, soft, will fold when you try to shape them. Work from sides to center so you won't dig. into the flesh and cause wounds. A pleasing oval makes the nails look longer. Run the orangewood stick under the eaves; you will bring out little shags. Remove them with the beveling file. Remove the polish and give your hands a tho- rough scouring with warm soapy water and a brush. The soap and the friction will soften the cuticle around the nails so it will respond to treatment. Rinse and dry tho- roughly. Use the nail white pencil "un. der the eaves; it is more convenient than the usual bleaching agent. Touch each nail with a cuticle cream, or use mineral oil. 'The end of the orangewood sticls should be cut to a rounded point. A pleasing oval makes the nails look longer. : * 9» With gentleness, use it in little circles to. lift: the flesh. Be extra gentle at the nail base; pressure h may injure the matrix 'where the new nail is forming, in which event you may be dismayed to find that your nas are marred with ridges. If you flush up hangnails, re- move them with the scissors -- points downward. Cutting the cu- ticle all the way around will result in a heavier growth, so don't do it. Lifting and massaging should result in a neat appearance. Arofder hand-washing is the next step. Remove every bit of crezm or oil and have the nails thoroughly dry before putting on the rosy high lights. WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT Explaining Mother's Day? Ry MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs .Beeckman: 1. When a man says "Thank you" to a girl after a dance, should she reply "You're welcome" or "Thank You." 2. When a husband and wifé go to a dance, is it proper for her to dance with other men when her husband is not dancing with her? RM. 1. The girl doesn't say "You're welcome" because this would indi- cate that only he enjoyed the dance. And while "Thank you" is a cor- rect thing for the man to say to her, it isn't a particularly good re- ply for her to make to him. With graciousness she. might say, "That was a delightful dance'... I enjoy- ed it so much." 2. Yes, of course! Wedding Veil Half-Yard Longer Than Train Dear Mrs. Béetkman: How much longer than the train should the veil hang? My bridal veil nangs about three feet longer than the train on the dress. MS. The wedding veil should be about half yard longer than your dress train as it extends on the floor. The veil must be longer than the train because the. veil has a ten- dency to creep up on the material underneath as the bride walks up the ailse . . . but the veil should not Le too long. If the long vell you mention is one that cannot be cut*(perhaps a lace veil or a borrow- ed tulle veil) the end of the vell may be turned back and caught with cl: sters of orange blossoms or tulle rosettes or other small deco- rative items that are in harmony with pour bridal costume. Bridegroom's aunt Wants To Give Party For Engazed Couple Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My 21-year.old nephew is to be married in June, and I would like to entertain for him and his fiancee, I had thought of giving a dinner for the wedding party, but his mother has decided to do this.

Ushers And Bridesmaids Not Paired Off In The Proc Dear Mrs, Beeckman: In my wedding party there will be: maid of honor, three brides. maids, flower girl, the best man and, of course, three ushers. I would like to have hte bridesmaids walk up the ailse with the ushers, then the maid of honor alone, the flower girl alone, and last the bride and her father. Am I correct in this? JH. No!

This is a bad thought because it often means neglect of coughing which signals some really serious disorder. There are many different types of coughing and these are so distinc- tive that years ago, when modern methods of diagnosis were not available, doctors relied heavily on the mere sound of the cough to tell them what was wrong. For example, a brassy cough indicates swelling of the aorta, the great artery com- ing from the heart. Its enlarge. ment causes pressure on the wind- pipe and this, in turn, stimulates the woughing attacks. Croupy Cough A croupy 'cough is commonly 'associated with conditions which produce swellings of the larynx or volcebox. Coughing, in attacks, may mean whooping cough or some other con- ditio nwhich produces an excessive amount of secretion. in the wind- pipe and the tubes in the lungs known as the bronchi. A dry cough, on the other hand, means, as a rule, that an excessive amount of secretion is not present. Tumor or cancer of the lungs fre- quently produces a cough of this 34 pe. Cause Must Be Found Since coughing is only a symp. tom, it cannot be: treated properly until the cause is found. It is often one of the important signs in the common everyday infections of the respiratory tract. It is nearly al- ways present in tuberculosis of the lung, lung abscess and pneumonia, and we all must remember that serious lung tumors also cause coughing. It is true as I said earlier, that coughing is common among exces- sive smokers but it is never safe to assume that a persistent cough is due to this cause alone. Hence, when a patient who smokes com- plains of coughing, there is need for a thorough study to determine if the coughing is due to the smoking or to some other disturbance. Smoker's cough usually occurs in the morning, though it may be present throughout the day. It is often. accompanied by gagging be- cause of the thick secretions pres. ent in the throat, Exposure te Dust Certain occupations require that the worker be exposed to dust and fumes which may also have a no- ticeable effect on the lining mem- branes of the breathing organs to cause coughing attacks. Sometimes coughing may be pro- duced by conditions outside of the breathing organs. Irritation of the outer ear canal may bring about coughing attacks, and coughing may be a symptom of hard-packed wax in the ear. Of course, inflam. mation of thé nose and throat, as well as infection of the nasal sinuses, are all associated with coughing. ' A oough should never be neglect- ed. As a rule, its cause may be easily found but, in any event, suc- cessful treatment depends on find- ing the cause and removing it. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS M. H.: I have pains in my head. I am quite deaf and have head noises. I am nearly 70. What would you suggest? Answer: You are in need of a careful examination to determine the cause of the head pains. The trouble may be due to hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure, or some similar condition. An excellent use for and old-fash- ioned, round topped trunk is to con- vert it into a dog house. Simply cut out an entrance at one end. It is easily cleaned and if painted outside is an attractive home for your pet. J ushers walk first (when there is an uneven number, two walk to- gether and the odd man walks either first or after the pajr or pairs of ushers); then the brides- maids (when there are thr, they very often walk single file); maid of honor, alone; flower girl, alone; last, you and your father. In the recessional the ushers and bridesmaids may be "paired off" . .. but not in the processional. (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions submitted by readers.) GLAMORIZING Natural Look for Eyebrows oy HELEN FOLLETT Musical Comedy Star Nanette Fabray says that outlining brows and the lower lid of the eyes is an important part of eye make-up. 4 * oa There is 'an old saying that a woman will sacrifice everything for her complexion, even her complex- ion, That has been true of eye- brows during the last two decades. They've gone through such a pro- cess of remodeling that there just isn't anything left of them. Nat- urally, there is a turn-about. Beauty specialists implore the cash cus- tomer to lay off the poor little things, to let them assume a more natural appearance. First intentions were good enough. The girls started plucking stray fuzzers that had wandered from the fold. It was fun; it be- came an obsession. Some of those duckies who go in for extreme ef- fects annihilated theirs completely, didn't even resort to crayon. Mona Lisa style! Neat eyebrows, black as the raven's wing, give character to the feminine countenance. - The deplet- ed wraith of an eyebrow imparts a vapid expression; if it is lifted foo high one carries a permanent look of surprise that is no beauty bar- gain. To take on an upward tilt at the far end of the forehead scimitar is to assume the loek of Mephisto- pheles and who in the world wants to look like Satan? Yet it has been done, is still being done by some misguided young ladies. We urge the members of this beauty class to do their eyebrow weeding with restraint, to avoid freakish effects that are strictly out of date and of which the poor pub- lic is weary. : Brush your eyebrows daily; put a little brilliantine on the bristles of the brush. When you wash your face, shampoo them. They are dust catchers of the first order; they were designed not only for the pur- pose of decoration, but to catch beads of sweat that might flow down the noble brow and dust that might enter the eyes. If you are doubtful about your present pattern, seek professional attentions. Beauty operators do cute tricks with eyebrows. And learn how to use an eyebrow pencil. It adds a nice touch. PROOF OF THE PUDDING Most child feeding problems or- iginate after the first year when the child's growth has slowed and his appetite has become less vo- racious. The majority of feeding troubles previously stemmed from the mother's anxiety to get cer- tain foods such sw spinach into the child because "they had the mneces- sary health-givnig properties. The likes or dislikes of the child were considered secondary, A more subtle approach is now considered desirable. Parents should recognize some of the child's pre- ferences and make an effort to substitute more attrasti~a foods with comparable food values. LADIES: DEAD THIS!

Remem- POWELL'S DRUG STORE DISPENSING CHEMISTS PRECISION Phone 1360 Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood--(AP)--The possibility of a film actors' strike grows big- ger every day. Negotiations for a new contract between the producers and the screen actors guild broke off re. cently and no moves have been made to reopen the talks. The guild has filed notification of a dispute and after the contract ends July 31 anything might happen. Much sentiment among actors fa- vors a strike unless certain demands are met. With more actors out of work than ever before, demands for drastic action are rising. If there is a strike, you needn't expect to see your film favorites picketing studious with placards and sandwich boards. When the actors walk out, production will stop immediately. Picketing won't be needed. Lady 'Trouble Roy Rogers is still having lead- ing lady trouble. When Lynn Rob. erts couldn't come to terms with Republic, the femme lead spot in Roy's films was left wide open. Re- public is still seeking a gal who will take second billing to Trigger. Meanwhile, Adele Mara is unhap- pily filling the job in "Night Time In Nevada." What's the matter with Dale Evans as the permanent choice? Or is that too obvious? . . . Music circles are rife with ru- mors about a break in the record- ing ban, The talk is that the mu. sicians' union will permit the mak- ing of records for home use only, not to be broadcast. Wonder if that would start a rash of bootleg radio stations for airing' of home- use discs . . . Iron Curtain Reviewed "The Iron Curtain" (20th-Fox) is Hollywood's first propaganda gun in the cold war. Using the semi-documentary method, it tells the true story of Igor Gouzenko, Russian cipher clerk at the Ottawa embassy who uncovered a commu. nist spy ring which reached to Canada's parliament. It is strong stuff, bristling with phrases like "our former capitalis- tic allies" and "when we take over." As drama, it ranks with the bet- ter topical films, although Dana Andrews and Gene Tierney have little to do but act out the head- lines. Background music is supplied by modern Russian composers. who have lately been on the Moscow carpet. This won't help them any.

' MEET THE DENTIST Every child should make the ace quaintance of the dentist at the age of about three years and visit him twice a year from that time, according to national health exe perts.
