MONDAY, AUGUST 16, 1948 THE DAILY T IMES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU Don't Let Fatigue Bugs Get You By HELEN JAMESON Perhaps it is the state of the world. Perhaps it is just this del- irium of modern life, Men, women, and even teen-agers often com- plain of being tired. It would seem as if nervous exhaustion is just around everybody's corner, Every generation has been considered speedy by the one that preceded it. Yet, surely life has never been quite as hectic as it is now. Many physical disturbances cause fatigue. A badly balanced diet, insufficient sleep, lack of health-giving pecreations and out- door exercise, tooth infections, eye strain, worry may cause one to drag one's heels, wonder how one can get through the day. If*stands to reason then that to be bouyant and alive, highly energized and am- bitious one must have respect for the laws of health. A woman will do anything to make herself better looking. Let her learn something about physical and mental hygiene and appearance will be nothing to worry about. : . A tired woman's loveliness of features is clouded, so clouded that beauty cannot shine through. 'Weariness can sour the sweetest disposition and the disposition is a regulator of charm, The one who awakens in the morning feeling like a total wreck doesn't care whether the birdies sing or not. A certain degree of fatigue is the natural result of work. It can only be regarded as harmful when it is so extreme that recuperation does not soon follow as the result of a reasonable amount of sleep and rest. The right mental attitude toward one's work, one's life and one's problems is an insurance against 'excessive fatigue unless one is over doing. If we are to b really healthy the mental outlodk must be healthy. The woman who hates housework is soon worn out with % it, while the woman who loves to cook, who takes pride in h&r home, can find pleasure inthe humblest hardest domestic duties. im) ¢ [Ig ) --_-- it fore J ll Nal iit, if ily) 1 Amn mi INR ¢ y -- hil Hope is a wonderfuuly inspiring companion, * + $ Fear and worry, of course, are devastating not only to the physical and mental motors, but to the ner- vous system amd the soul itself.

WHAT SHOULD IDO ABOUT +, Writing Many Thank-You Notes? By MRS, CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Will you kindly give us girls the benefit of your good advice on a question very important to us? We are a large group of girls all con- nected with the same church; there have been a number of bridal show- ers already given for the various girls, and there will be more com- ing along soon. At the showers al- ready given there have been be- tween fifty and sixty women from the church present, and besides the "thank-you's" expressed by the re- cipient of the gifts as each gift is opened, the girls have always sent out written thank-you notes after- ward, : Now, in view of the fact that there are so many women involved and also because a cordial thank-you is extended to each giver as her gift is opened and again as she leaves the shower, we are wonder- ing whether thank-you notes are actually necessary. Some of us in- sist they are necessary, while others say 'no, they aren't.' Incidentally, the girl for whom the last shower was given wrote about one hundred thank-you notes, and it was this situation that brought this ques- tion to a climax. We shall be grate- ful for your views about this, Mrs. an, Beotkm H. and Group. I wouldn't be honest with you grand girls if I advised you to give up your fine custom of writing a note of thanks to each friend who brings a gfit to a shower. Perhaps such endearing messengers of friendship and appreciation aren't "actually necessary" . . . but un- doubtedly they are mores warmly welcomed because they are not necessary. And true it is that they are good and kind and always-re- membered bows of grateful friend to generous friend. Thanks ex- pressed at a shower are necessarily apt to be rather general . .. "How nice of you to bring me such a lovely breakfast set, Nancy . x it's a beauty. Thank you so much" . . . but a day or two after the shower, you put the gift before you as you write, and your, thoughts end Ep eciation expand, and you see n ib for Oh thank, aoueh low! ellow ¢! ... wha aes color. It will make us start the day happily and blithe- yt» Y ore hundred thank-you notes one of the girls wrote . . . what richness, what brightness she sent forth into one hundred hearts! The fine and lovable kind of girl who would be so thoughtful is the kind who would have a hundred friends! And those notes were what she wanted them to be--golden links in the precious chain of friendship. What this world needs is more thank-you . . . and you're the girls to write your generous share of them! How the Bridegroom's Mother and Father are Escorted up the Aisle Dear Mrs. Beeckman: When the bridegroom's. mother and father come into the church, how are they escorted to their seats by the usher? MC. The bridegroom's father and mo- ther, who are the guests of honor at the wedding, should schedule their arrival at the church most carefully . . . so that they arrive in time to be escorted up the aisle 'middle- nervos, high-strung, tired? Then vo try Lydia E. Pinkham"s Vegetable Com- pound torelievesuch symptoms! Pinkham's Compound also has what Doctors call a stomachic tonic effect! > LYDIA E.

Te honor of escorting the bridegroom's parents up the aisle, and down the 'aisle after the re- cessional is given to a particularly important usher . . . perhaps to a son of fheirs in the wedding party, or a cousin df the bridegroom or a brother or cousin of the bride, or to the head usher. At the entrance to the church, this usher meets them, offers his right arm to the (the "bridegroom's side" of the groom's mother, and escorts her up the aisle, the bridegroom's father following. The usher stands by the first pew on the right of the aisle church) as they take their places. Then after the recessional the same usher returns to escort them down the aisle, after another usher has gone first to escort the bfide's mo- ther, the bride's father following. HOW TO HELP THE HOST By Mrs. Beeckman When the host is serving at table and he asks you for your meat preference or for chicken-prefer- ence, "White or dark meat?" you won't be a bit of help to him by saying, "Oh, just any piece." This only perplexes, and delays the serving. Also when the host passes the plate that is intended for you, don't insist on passing on this plate to someone else. Although you are undoubtedly meaning to be co- operative, neither of these actions is helpful. (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions submitted by readers.) Appetising Salads For Logy Appetites In these hot summer days milady of the kitchen is giving some thought to cool, refreshing salads which stimulate sometimes logy appetites. : To provide a balanced type of salad which offers not only color and flavor appeal but is also highly nutritious, Miss Helen Abell, home economist of the American Can Company, suggests the following recipes Pear Salad 1 No, 2 can (20-0z.) pears (8 halves) 1 tablespoon pear juice 1 tablespoon cream or top milk 1 tablespoon mayonnaise 1 3-0z, package cream cheese 2 tablespoons chopped nuts 4 lettuce, cups Drain pears. Add pear juice, cream and mayonnaise to cheese and blend, Fill centres of 4 pear halves with part of cheese mixture. Cover with remaining pear halves in sandwich fashion.

Chili until firm. When ready to serve, unmould and serve on crisp lettuce leaves. Gar- nish with mayonnaise if desired, where reason is left free to com- bat it.--~Thomas Jefferson. A Physician Advises You By HERMAN A. BUNDESEN, M.D. RELIEF FOR FLAT FEET THE person with normal feet and correct posture carries his weight as Nature intended him to--evenly distributed between the heel, the ball of the foot, and its outer side, the parts of the foot especially de- signed to bear it. The person with flat feet suffers because, among other things, weight distribution falls largely on parts of the feet never intended for this purpose. The normal foot has two arches, one called the longitudinal arch and the other known as the transverse arch. The latter extends from one side of the foot to the other, just back to the toes; the former runs lengthwise of the foot and is most prominent at the instep. When these arches drop, the person is said to have flat feet. Gradual Process Flat feet are nob acquired in a day. Usually the flattening of the arch is gradual process in which five different stages can be distin- guished. First there is a mild type of foot strain. Then the arches drop, but no other changes in the tissues develop: However, soon changes do begin to occur. Then the foot becomes fixed in the flat- tened position because of inflamma- tion of the joints, and finally the condition becomes permanent. When flattening of the arch oc- curs, there may be aching pain and tenderness, as well as swelling of the feet, stiffness of the muscles and calluses. As a result of the strain on the feet and faulty walkinz, ex- tra strain is felt on the muscles of the knees and the buttock and pain and aching may occur in these re- gions, and often in the lower part of the back. In the treatment of flat feet, two things are necessary. First the body weight must be transferred to the outer side of the foot and pressure symptoms must be relieved. These things can be accomplished two or three minutes before the | pear with more cheese mixture. Error of opinion may be tolerated | by massage, bathing of the feet, first in hot and then cold water, | electrical treatment to stimulate | the muscles of the feet and often of | the calves in the legs, having the | patient wear proper shoes and | stockings, exercises for the feet, land rest from excessive strain or | walking. Type of Support Supports for flat feet can also be utilized. The type of support em- ployed will depend upon the sever- | ity of the condition. The support may ke made from either leather or felt, Sponge rubber may also be used. In those cases where the condition has been present for a long time, a stiffer type of foot sup- port made from metal may be util- ized. Manipulation to break up the bands of scar tissue that are formed may be useful when the foot is stiff and rigid; then. later on, the pa- tient 'may be given exercises, and baths and electrical treatments may be employed. Operative treatment for flat feet is used only in those instances in which the foot is fixed or rigid and all other methods of treatment have failed to give relief. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS T. Y.: Iam in my early thirties. However, my hair is beginning to turn gray. Is this-an indication of a deficiency in my diet? Answer: The exact cause of early graying of the hair is not known. It is not an evidence that any parti- cular dietary deficiency is present. There does not seem to be any treatment available for overcoming the condition. Frequently it is a family trait.

LOUIS wife of the new leader of the Libel of Canada, is seen in a sensitive and of Montreal. * Wife.of Future Prime Minister Leading Lady ST. LAURENT ral Party and future Prime Minister arming 'portrait study by Nakash * LJ Will Restore the Feminine Touch| After twenty-seven years, except for a brief spell in 1926, Canada is to have a leading lady in parlia- mentary circles. The barricades of bachelordom have given way and a gracious lady will preside in the Prime Minister's residence, and bring a feminine touch to affairs of state. Hostess to politicians, visiting statesmen, ambassadors and pleni- potentiaries-at-large will be . Mrs. Louis St. Laurent, wife of Canada's future premier. It was at a card party in Quebec city in 1906 Miss Jeanne Renault, as she then was, met her husband- to-be, the new leader of the Liberal Party. > In an intervew, Mrs. St. Laurent told of the courtship of External Affairs Minister St. Laurent who, before the end of the year, will likely be Prime Minister of Canada. She related how Mr. St. Laurent, then 24, and practising law in Que- bec City ,was brought by a. friend to a card party where she was one of the guests. "I immediately knew I loved him, though naturally I said nothing," confessed Mrs. St. Laurent in her fluent though accented English. They talked to each other for the first time in the evening when they were partners at cards. Even then Mr. St. Laurent was a rather austere man and rarely went to parties. Everyone was 'surprised when he turned up at a party a few nights later where Jeanne Renault was also a guest. That night he escorted her to the home of the relatives with whom she was staying. Such was the strictness of Quebec society of that date that a chaper- one accompanied them as Mr. St. Laurent walked Miss Renault home. Equally they were chaperoned whenever they went out together after that. Mrs. St. Laurent returned to her 4 home in Beauceville in the spring | of 1906 and the present External | | Affairs Minister naturally wrote to hér. But neither of them could write. the other more than a post- card, Mrs. St. Laurent said. Her parents forbade them to write each other sealed letters until they were engaged. : y She was paid a visit by Mr. St. Laurent at her parent's home that summer. They became engaged in February, 1907, and were married on May 19, 1908, by Father Mathieu of Beauceville who later became archbishop of Regina. However, politics prevented them having anything more than a few days' honeymoon, Mr. St. Laurent's law firm Was Headed by Louis Pelletier, an ardent Conservative and later postmggter-general. He ordered Mr. St. Laurent to keep his honeymoon to five days in order that the latter should do the law work which accumulated while Mr. Pelletier campaigned. The St. Laurent's had their real | honeymoon trip the following year | when they took a boat trip through | the Thousand Islands and visited Niagara Falls. But by that time | their first child had been born. Mrs. St. Laurent was one of the | 16 children of Pierre Ferdinand Renault, a well-to-do Beauceville general merchant. Her father be- lieved that all his children should speak English and thus Mrs. St. | Laurent and two of her sisters went to an English-speaking Cath- | olic convent, Mount St. Vincent Col- | lege, near Halifax. | The St. Laurents now live in a three-room apartment in the Rox- borough, a swank Ottawa apart- ment hotel. It has no kitchen, so that while she is in Ottawa, Mrs. St. Laurent does no cooking for her husband. "Of course, we occa- sionally make each other a cup of tea," her husband told newspaper- men soon after he became Liberal leader. GLAMORIZING Doing Your By HELEN FOLLETT Jane Greer, movie actress, keeps every day. LJ BECAUSE a woman wears a play suit is no sign that she has outdoor fun. It would be a good idea if she would live up to her costume. Sunlight keeps youth zippy, imparts a sense of youthful- ness to those who are beginning to feel their birthdays, when one edges into bracket. Career girls, home makers, es pecially the idle lassies, need mus- cle flexing now and then. If there were greater interest in physical education the = expensive figure molding salons would go out of business. It won't do to hop into the family bus if you have an errand to do only a few blocks away. Pull on your seven league boots and hoof it. Make an effort to maintain cor- rect posture. Nothing like it to keep the feminine shape young in ap- pearance. Pull up your back bone, as happens the forty Daily Dozen isiaid her {rim figure by doing exercises * * lift your chest, draw in your tummy, keep the head balanced. Let the amms assume an easy, free pose." With a certain number of steps take a deep inhalation through the nostrils. With the same number of steps, exhale slow- ly through the lips. Another good exercise is this one: Lie on your right side, upper body supported on right arm, left leg ex- actly on top of right. At count of one, raise left leg as high as pos- sible, knee straight, at same time stretching left arm, elbow straight, until arm and leg touch. At count of two return to original position and repeat. Then reverse position and repeat. : Illusion settings of platinum and palladium enhance the hrilliance of your diamonds and give them the appearance of larger surfaces, Hollywood Highlights By BOB THOMAS Hollywood--(AP)--Like the van- ishing Bison of yore, the tempera- mental movie star is disappearing. The tantrum-tossing star used to be a Hollywood landmark, but with the years, temperament has become a scarce commodity in the film in- dustry. Or maybe it's just well- concealed. Film columnists were sharpening their knives in preparation for James Mason's arrival. The cat- loving Briton came here with a reputation for temperament. Much to their surprise--and no doubt dis- appointment--Mason turned out to be charming. The fact is that a high-powered industry cannot afford a wrench in its gears, as a heel-kicking star sometimes is. May Aid Industry The wane of temperament may aid the 'industry, but it makes things duller for a Hollywood re- porter. The shenanigans of old- time stars provided lively copy. Prime example was Greta Garbo. If she found an unfamiliar face on her set, she would exit quickly and not return until an explanation was made. When Hollywood and Charlie Chaplin mutually decided that he was a genius, he made a lot of news with his eccentric behavior. Other comics like Harry Langdon, Wally Beery, Raymond Hatton and Buster Keaton decided they had to be geniuses too, and their studio had a time bringing them back to earth. Grand Fracas The grand fracas of Pola Negri and Gloria Swanson on the old Paramount lot is part of Hollywood legend. Also the antics of Mae Murray, Nazimova, Jetta Goudal and others. Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer used to pull their weight on the M-G-M lot, although usually in a subtle way. Joan Fontaine felt her oats in her early post-oscar days, but has been | sweetness and light recently. Lar- raine Day, Hedy Lamarr and Bette Davis still manage to break into the news with occasional flights of temperament.

Sprinkle Rock Salt Where Weeds Spread Houselwlders who'd rather relax than work during the hot months can easily avoid one back-breaking job. Instead of pulling weeds all summer long from driveways, stone and brick walks, around garage doors, parking areas, tennis courts and similar places where weeds are an eyescre, they can settle the weed problem by spreading rock salt on those spots. Rock salt seeps down into the | ground at the first rain and kills | weeds by attacking their roots. Un- ' like contact killers, it gets weeds | before they appear above the | earth; you don't have to pull up | dead stems from repeated growths. | Rock salt sterilizes the ground, a fact that makes it economical to | use because one application is gen- | erally sufficient to keep these areas weedfree for an entire season. It's | easy to use, can be spread in a few | minutes, doesn't harm clothing, |and being non-poisonous, it pree | sents no danger to children or an- imals. | It will, however, kill all plant growth, so should be used only in those areas where plants are not desired. Since it sterilizes the soil, {it should be used only where no plants are desired in future years. Rates of application range from 6 pounds per square yard for a {heavy growth of resistant weeds like sweet clover to two pounds per square yard for easier-to-kill pollen bearing weeds. tell it; everybody likes to laugh.
