FRIDAY, JULY 16, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Sermonette for Light-Weights By KELEN JAMESON Rounded slenderness is ace high in the beauty game. Skinniness is the deuce, and the emaciated ones deuce, take it, they want cur- They can hide sharp elbows Mth long sleeves, but what about the pipe-stem legs, especially in the swimming season? It would be well for the lightweights to have a little conversation with the doctor, who will tell them that normal 'weight is necessary for health and vitality. There will be a check-up to determine whether or not emaci- ation is due to some physical dis- turbance. If the results are satis- factory, then all the skinnies have to do is to partake of the right kind of groceries, elements that will stow themselves away in the form of adipose upholstery. Usually the thin girl lives on practically nothing a day. She imagines that a few lettuce leaves comprise a maintenance luncheon. Breakfast - consists of coffee and a few nibbles of toast. When dinner times comes, she is all fagged out after, the day's activities, may not feel like eating. What then can she expect? The human motors cannot run without fuel. Unless one has a, certain number of calories tucked away each day, one is likely to be nervous and irritable. Many a crab- by disposition is the direct result of disregard for the simplest laws of health. The seeker after pleasing curves should drink a quart of milk a day --a glassful with each meal, a fourth at bedtime. The milk should be rich and creamy. This excellent food contains many elements that are necessary for well-being. The intake of fats, sweets and starches should be increased. A "large serving of a hot cereal, gar- nished with sugar and cream, should be a part of breakfast, which should also include fruit, a bever- age, two slices of bacon. No doubt our slim one will have her teeth on edge at the idea of consuming that much food. She'll say it can't be done. But it can. After a few mornings her digestive motors will waiting for a fair-sized load to vide energy for the day's activi- "ties. To have a balanced diet, she ed by King Features One is likely to be nervous and irritable, LE BY must have meat, sea food, dairy products, fruits, cereals and vege- tables. She should avoid sour and highly spiced dishes. To create appetite, a certain amount of outdoor exercise is es- sential. No strenuous flying arouna for her, if fat cells are to land upon her frail frame, But plenty of fresh air, Swimming is highly recom- mended for normalizing the figure. To develop the chest and bust, every night bathe the breasts with warm water, dry gently. Apply cocoabutter, sending the flattened fingers round and round with slight upward pressure. Double up the fists, swing the arms high, wide and handsome, one arm at a time. In the morning sponge with" cold water, breathe deeply for five min- utes. WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT Dressing for Daughter's Wedding? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: - 1. "My daughter's wedding is to be a formal church wedding in the evening (8:30 o'clock). Since it is to be formal, I would like to wear a long 'dress, too, but since the mo- ther of the bridegroom-to-be is not to wear a long dress, I am told that I should not either. Please tell me who is right: 2. Who carries the bridegroom's wedding ring? ,3. There are to be two bridal at. tendants; a maid of honor and a bridesmaid. Therefore we planned to have only ene usher. But now we find that we need two addition- al ushers. Should the three ushers take part in the processional? Bride's mother 1. You are right, Since the wed- dmg is to be formal, you, the bride's mother and the hostess, and also the groom's mother, who is the wo- man guest of honor, should wear long dresses. You, as hostess of the wedding, of course, have the privilege of deciding what type of dress should be worn by you and the groom's mother . . . and the groom's mother is expected to con- sult with you and to wear the type of dress you suggest. At a formal evening wedding , both mothers usually wear boleros or jackets that match their évening or dinner dresses (the jackets may be re- moved before the reception), very small evening hats or other head- coverings, and gloves. (I hope you can persuade your daughter's fiance to persuade his mother to dress ac. cording to your suggestions ... she should keep in mind and heart that her son wants to be mighty proud her and her complete co-opera- on this. Great Day.) The maid of honor usually olds the groom's ring, handing it to the bride directly after the best Nn has handed the bride's ring to e groom. But if considered more convenient, the best man may be given charge of both rings. 3. My suggestion is that you have the three ushers (four would be a far better number) walk in the pro- essional: first, two ushers, walking ogether, followed by the one usher (or a pair of ushers, to balance the processional); the bridesmaid, lone; maid of honor, alone; bride nd her father. Procedure of the Fu 1 Processional Dear Mrs. Beéeckman: In most of the funerals I have heen to in the past several years, e family of the deceased do not valk in the processional but instead enter the church by a side door and ka their seats just before the asket is catried in. But when the plan is to have a funeral proces- ional, what is the proper proce- lure as to precedence and so forth? D. L. If there is to be a choir and if ere are to be Honorary pallbear- srs: the choir leads the procession rom the vestibule of the church to the chancel. The clergyman fol- pws. 'Then the pallbearers, two by vo, preceding the casket, as guard bf honor (unless, as is often done, e casket is taken to the church d put in place a short time before e hour of the service), Then the members of the family, the chief mourner first . wife, husband, mother, or father ... with a close ive. Usually each pair is com- i of a man and a woman, but 0 men or two women may walk ogether, if that seems more prac- able. Although, in general, the preced- ce is determined by the order of elationship with the deceased, it is ally far more important that those In deepest affliction should each valk with the one whose nearness n. give the greatest comfort and Ip. A widow may lean on the rm of her son or father or bro'her whighever relative she chooses. fier children would follow, then her husband's parents and brothers and sisters. A widower may walk alone, but usually he walks with his daughter or mother or sometimes with his wife's mother if she is a widow, A grandmother is escorted by the oldest son of the family. In the case of the death of an unmar- ried child, the parents would follow the casket. The members of the family occupy the front pews on the right; if there are honorary pallbearers, they take their places in the front pews on the left. The professional bearers withdraw to stations on the side aisles, out of the direct line of vis- ion from the ecnter. When the service is over, the procession, led by the clergyman, moves down the aisle in the order in which it walk- ed up the aisle. "Miss" Is Not Part Of Signature By Mrs. Beeckman An unmarried woman should sign a letter MARY SMITH ... never "Miss Mary Smith." When she considers it necessary to indi- cate her title she may write her signature as (MISS) MARY SMITH The parentheses indicate that the title is not part of the signature ... that the title is given only for the purpose of identification or infor. mation.

He has special difficulty with certain syllables which he may repeat al- most endlessly before being able to link them up with those that should follow to form a complete word or phrase. It is estimated that there are at least one million people in the United States who suffer from this stumbling and spasmodic form of speech. ; This is perhaps an evidence of our poor handling of our children because it is pretty well established that stuttering has its roots in emo- tional disturbances during early childhood. If the causes of the child's unhappiness are removed and nething is done to fix his at- tention on his disability, it usually disappears wtihout his ever becom- ing conscious of the problem. Becomes Ingrained But if, through scoldings and corrections, stuttering becomes in- grained, it is likely to persist through life and to defy all the treatments ever devised to over- come it. In the past these have in- cluded everything from surgery to hypnotism. Today, however, empha- sis has shifted and it is felt now that best results will be obtained by treating the parents rather than the child, particularly in early cases. It .is of first importance that the child not be made aware that he stutters or is abnormal in any way. To this end, parents must be taught @ more tolerant and less critical attitude. Among the causes of early stut- tering are over-stimulation or pam- pering. In this situation it is im- possible for the child to relax, and his nervous tension causes him to stutter. Over-concern on the part of the parents about the child's eating, plus efforts to force him to eat cer- tain foods, may have the same ef- fect. Invites Stuttering The mother who hovers over her child constantly, always with a caution or a "don't" on her lips, is simply inviting the child to stutter by depriving him of all freedom and relaxation. Insecurity, due to parental quar- rels, frequent changes of residence, or disagreements about the child's training, is another cause of stut- tering. Thus, it is plain that before stut- tering can be corrected, the par- ticular factor involved in a par- ticular case must be found and eliminated. Once parents are per- suaded to give up their mistaken ways, the child usually regains his normal, free-flowing speech. Direct Means Of course, in older children or in adults, where the habit of stutter- ing has become set, this method of treatment will not avail. The old- el patient must be taught by more direct means to develop normal, re- laxed speech. Both individual and classroom instruction is used to good advantage in these cases and many universities have opened speech clinics where stutterers can be treated. The important thing for parents to remember is that the stuttering child should be given treatment as soon as the defect develops, because it can then be completely overcome. Later on anything like a complete cure may be impossible. However, it must be remembered that when the child first learns to speak, he may stutter because his thoughts are formed faster than he can ex- press them. This must not be con- fused with real stuttering. ---- QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS H.S.: Is there any known way of keeping "varicose - veins from de- veloping when they are hereditary? Answer: I know of 'no evidence that vericose veins are hereditary. The exact cause of their develop- ment is not known, although con- ditions which contribute to block- ing of the flow of blood may be a factor -in their production. Celery stalks stuffed with cream cheese blended with condensed to- mato soup are tasty to serve with salad, cold meat or what have you.

Brush It Well By HELEN FOLLETT Barbara Bates, of the silver screen, keeps her hair healthy and shining with daily brushing, * IT is no fun when your hair starts to fall. Hairs fall all over the house. They tangle up in the teeth of the comb. The girl who is up against this state of affairs feels a sinking of the heart. She wonders if, some day, she will have to wear a transformation. Chances are that will never happen. Not if she gets busy, gives her precious thatch the attention it deserves. The proper procedure is to buy a first-class brush of firm bristles and to use it regularly at Jeast once a day. Every shaft that brushing 'brings out is a dead one; and the sooner it is out the better, so that another one may grow. As long as a new growth is in evidence, one need not worry. That means that - the shaft-producing papillae are still on the job. The growth may just be suffering a temporary indispositicn. Take a strand at a time, hold it away from the head. Slap the bris- tles on the scalp, sweep to the ends of the hair with a rolling motion. * + There will be a little tug at the roots of the shafts that will spur the blood streams to action. Once a week, after the nightly brushing, apply hot oi. to the scalp, or any good proprietory oil that you may find for this purpose. Spread outfingers and thumbs, move the flesh about. . Close to Scalp Rub the oil on the ends of the hair that are always drier than the growth close to the scalp. Wrap your head in a towe] and go to bed. The longer the oil remains on, the more effective the treatment. When shampooing next morning begin with a rinsing of fairly hot water, using a spray and a strong current of water. If soap is used, have it in liquid form, make at least three applications, following each one with a rousing rinsing. If a cream or oil cleanser is used, two applications will be sufficient. If the shampoo is thorough, every shaft will be soft and silky, away from its neighbors. TIPS FOR TEENS Dealing with Lingering Lizards By ELINOR WILLIAMS "Dear Elinor: "Two of my girl friends and I have been wondering about the fol lowing "question: When a girl in- vites her boy friend into the house after returning from a date, should the girl or the boy say when he should leave?" Your guest, the boy, should re- member to leave at a reasonable hour and not stay long after re- turning from a date. If he forgets the clock, however, it's up to you to remind him of the time in order to keep your own "deadline", regard- less of what his may be, and not prolong the evening beyond the limit set by your parents for such dates, He'll like you more, not less, if you do what you know is right; you can do it several ways: -- 1--Subtle method.

The deal is not completed yet, because there is a difference of opinion as to how much Lancaster is worth. Burt, naturally, holds a higher estimate. But he likes the story and is eager to do the film. None Too Soon : Joan Fontaine finished her last scene of "You Gotta Stay Happy" and commented to her producer- husband: "Mr. Dozier, it's been a pleasure to work on your picture." His reply: "Thank you; I might be able to use you in some other pic- tures." Joan now takes a six- month vacation for the birth of her baby. David Niven, who leaves for Eng- land July 29 on the Britannica, is wasting no time. While enacting an 80-year-old in "Enchantment," he fitted wigs for "Scarlet Pimper- nel," which he'l] make in England. Five-Hour Kiss Robert Taylor and Ava Gardner had a five-hour kiss for "The BRIBE " That's how long it took to film the scene, . . . Evelyn Keyes, who was unhappy about not getting Columbia's horse picture, "The Re- turn of October." is just as happy now. She has found out she's aller- gic to horses and is taking shots for the allergy. Milton Berle, now a star of tele- vision, was visiting Cornel] Wilde on "The Lovers" set.

NOT FOR ARTS SAKE Kingston, July 16-- (CP) -- De- partment of Art at Queens Univer- sity is searching hard these days for a woman willing to pose in the nude for the sixty summer school students who are taking the six weeks course at Kingston. "We can't get a woman model willing to pose in the nude in King- ston, try as we may," Henri Mas- son, figure painter from Ottawa who is instructing at the univers- ity, said yesterday.

Then simply get his coat and tell him you hope to see him soon . . . or hope he'll come again soon . . . . so he'll realize that you really do have a deadline and aren't just bored. - Then don't your "Goodnight!" or linger at the door. All this should be necessary only during the first date or two--not after that, if the boy is a smooth dater and really likes you. After a few dates, he'll know your dead- line as well as you do and will co- operate with you in keeping it. After all, he wants to date you agaif, doesn't he?
