TUESDAY, AUOUST 24, 1948 THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU Facial Lights and Shadows By HELEN No woman has just one face. Her otions change it. You've noticed hat, no doubt. The face carries lights and shadows that seem to change even the appearance of the features and they have an effect, too, upon the color of the complex fon. A pretty girl, aglow with anima- tion and high spirits, is a stimulate ing, atractive picture. But anger, jealousy, any of the mean emotons, can deprive her of her angelic look, make her seem like a vixen. Eyes that were softares uddenly snap- ping fire. Lips that curled in a soft, engaging smile are parted to show teeth clicked firmly together, The figure that was soft and yielding be- comes rigid and menacing, Women in rages make terrible sights of themselves, The countenance expresses thoughts and feeling as plainly as words. Some young faces, shadowed with seriousness or unhapp iness, look like old faces. Some old faces, brightened with the sparkle of good nature and the twinkling of merry eyes, carry the semblance of youth. For the sake of appearance in the future every woman should realize that unpleasant emotions drag down the muscles, deplete tissues, cause premature wrinkles to form. Maybe character cannot be read in features. There seems to be a difference of opinion on that sub- ject. No doubt there is many an an- gel-faced girl who has the soul of a demon. Yet we do know that when we see a woman whose face looks hard and brittle, we are likely to hazard the guess that she is calcu- lating, selfish, mean. Perhaps you have observed the expression of the secretive suspi- cious woman who looks at you with furtive eyes. She isn't the kind who invites you to put your arms around her, give her a squeeze, tel] her she is a good egg. She has the touch- me-not pose. You keep clear of her. You can tell the whiner at =a JAMESON A good nature is a powerful force for creating charm * +p every hand is raised against her, that fate has picked her out for a victim. She isn't playing fair. To exhibit low spirits is to make other members of the family feel low. Meet a gay, jolly lassie and you feel gay, too. Isn't it so, my hearties? You know it. Animation is a wonderful beauti- er. It keeps the eyes sparkling, the body highly energized. Good nature is a powerful force for creating charm. A sense of humor is a price- less gift. 'The woman who can laugh at her- self, her little mistakes and stupidi- ties, is a philosopher. The route glance by her soft, relaxed lips with the ends drooping, She believes that along life's roadway will be easy go- ing for her. TIPS FOR TEENS Are You Conceited? By ELINOR WILLIAMS Here's a question from the mail. "What is conceit?" asks a pretty 'teener, She has been called con- ceited and she wants to know the worst. What exactly does it mean? It is thinking of yourself too much, being too absorbed in your own affairs to show a kind interest in others. It's the notion that you're perfect beyond improvement. The cure is this: Stop thinking about yourself so much. Dress care- fully, take good care of your hair and skin and then forget yourself; don't keep primping, looking in the mirror and fiddling with your hair. Be interested, sincely interested, in others, their troubles, joys and conversation. When . youre with them, listen to what they have to say instead of thinking about what you're going to reply and don't talk about yourself too much, See how much you can say without an "I" in the sentence. Try to be thoughtful of others. Consider their comfort and feelings. Dont expect your parents do everything for you with nothing-- not even appreciation--in return. Be poised and confident without overdoing it. Remember that girls who aren't as attractive as you may have nicer dispositions, they may be more sympathetic, have a keener sense of humor or be more fun, So respect others for their good quali- ties; you may lack some of them even though you're an eyeful. (For good posture suggestions to improve your appearance, send a stamped, self-addressed envelope to Elinor Williams at this paper.)

A Physician Advises You By HERMAN A. BUNDESEN, M.D. KNEE INJURY THOUGH very complicated in structure, the knee is not a versa- tile joint, It can bend or straighten, but it cannot, like certain other joints, execute a circular movement, Thus, it. does not withstand well, | sudden forceful movements which involve twisting of the leg. : Certain sports and industries seem to make for the type of strain which results in injury to the knee. College boys who play football and miners who dig coa] have one thing in common--both are familiar with the type of knee injury which re= sults from tearing of the cartilages within the joint, because it occurs so often in connection with their work or sport. Torn Cartilages The symptoms of torn cartilages in the joint are pain and tenderness in the knee, and locking of the joint in a halft-bent position, followed in a few hours by swelling. The joint wil] suddenly unlock, either by it- self or following manipulation, and there is immediate relief from pain and discomfort. However, there are recurrent atacks of the locking and pain which are usually less severe than the first attack. These recur= rent attacks are brought on by & slight twist or strain of the knee. There is a test which .can be made to aid in determining whether or not torn cartilages are present. e patient lies down and relaxes. Then the foot is firmly grasped by the physician and the knee is bent as much as possible cntil the heel approaches the buttock. The foot is then turned outward and the leg bent outward at the knee, With the leg and foot in this position, the knee is slowly straightened, If dur- ing this movement there is pain and a click within the joint, it is likely that the cartilages within the joint have been damaged. Injury to Knee When an njury to the knee oc curs, of course, an X-ray examina- tion should be made. However, the X-ray will not show a tear in the cartilages unless some of the car- tilage has broken off and is free in the joint. Such a bit of material in the joint is called a loose body. Such a loose body, coming from some condition other than tearing of the cartilage, may cause symp- toms much like those of a torn car- tilage. When this bit of material gets caught between the bone sur- faces that make up the joint, there may be locking and acute pein. Strain of the ligaments may also produce symptoms like those of car- tilage tears. Theatment for the tears depends upon the extent of the damage. If the joint is locked when first seen by the physician, manipulation may be carried out to get the cartilage back into, proper position. Then a firm bandage or splint may be put on. If the manipulation is not suc- cessful, an operation, which consists of removing the cartilage, must be carried out. If the condition recucs several times, operation always 1s advisable, since some permanent in- jury to the joint may occur if the disorder is allowed to continue, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J.

GLAMORIZING Remodelling Faulty Figures FOLLETT Screen Actress Abigail Adams keeps her lovely figure by taking a daily dip in the ocean. * NO woman is justified in bawl- ing about figure defects if she won't take the time and the trou- ble to correct them. It is surpris- ing what can be done in the way of remodelling the feminine frame. There are establishments where this work goes on at a great pace; it. is & matter of correct diet and cor- rective exercises. But, if the bal- ance in the check book looks sick, much can be done at home. All that is necessary is determination. Unless ill health is present, the skinny da:ling can build curves, the too curvaceous lady can slim- mer down. Swimming will help both. Activity is a law of life and, if a woman will be active acording to her needs, she can mold her figure according to her desires. The cause of the worries of the woman who has a figure like the spreading chestnut tree is usually muscle slack, as well as little cushions formed by adipose tissue. L J L J When . the muscles of the mid- section have weakened, lost resil- ency, the waist measurement in- creases. This condition should be corrected because the muscles hold the internal organs in place, Sto- mach; intestinal tract and kidneys drop from their natural, normal positions, may not function norm- ally. Not only that, but a little shelf appears abaft the waistline. That is not pretty. A pleasing sil- houette shows neat hips, small waist, flat tummy. We suggest an exercise that will do wonders if you keep at it long enough. Stand erect and tall, legs rigid, chest lifted, hands extended out from the shoulders. Lift on the toes, lower the body until the torso rests on the heels, Lift on the toes. Keep on the toes as long as you can. With the arms extended at the sides you are better able to keep body balance. The feet should be placed fairly wide apart, The Experts Say By KAY REX Canadian Press Staff Writer Ottawa--(CP)--The quantities of fruits beginning to appear on the market these days will keep the tousewife busy in her kitchen for the next few weeks. Black currant jam fs always ®& favorite on the breakfast menu and home economists of the consumer section, Dominion department of agriculture, have produced a recipe guaranteed to bring out the best in this delicious fruit. Ingredients: six cups black cur- rants; five cups water; 6 1-2 cups sugar. Wash, top and tall currants, add water and bring to a boil. Pre- cook uncovered for 15 minutes, Add sugar and boil five to eight minutes, or until it reaches the jam stage. Yield: about 7 1-2 cups. High temperatures always bring on a craving for ice-cold drinks, and here are recipes for two thirst- quenchers that are different. Blueberry Quench-ingredients: one cup boiling water; one cup blueberries; grated rind of one orange; grated rind of one lemon; one-third cup sugar; few grains salt; three cups cold water. Pour boiling water ever blue- berries. Add grated orange and lemon rind and simmer slowly for five minutes. Press through a sieve. Add sugar and salt and stir well. Cool. Before serving add three cups of cold water. Yield: six servings. Raspberry Egg-Nog--ingredients: two cupt raspberries; one-half cup water: two eggs; one-eighth tea- spoon salt; two teaspoons honey or sugar; cae cup milk; one-eighth teaspoon iutmeg. Crush raspberries with water, bring to boil and boil for three minutes. Drain through a moist jelly bag and then add sufficient Water to make one cup of juice. Beat eggs with salt and honey, or sugar, until light. Add milk, rasp- berry juice and nutmeg and beat well. Chill before serving. Yield: four servings. ------ Try novel combinations of vege- tables if you want to sharpen the family's appetite when dinner-time comes around, sumer section, Dominion depart- ment of agriculture, suggest the following combinations: Green beans with sliced carrots; sliced carrots with celery; shrqdded car- ! rots with onion rings; butter beans with small white onions. A slight difference in seasoning also is attractive. Butter is al- ways a good dressing for vege- tables and such seasoning as a tablespoon or chopped parsley, one-quarter teaspoon of celery seed, or just a sprinking of rosemary, thyme, or basil, always lend inter- est.

Folks . said Jimmy had enough of airplanes during his five-year hitch with the United States Air Force. When he came back to the movies after the war, he didnt show much interest in the flight talk of Hollywood's many pilots. "Don't have any time to fly," he shrugged. Last year Jimmy met racing pilot Joe Debona. "I just missed winning the Bendix race by 30 sec- onds," Debona moaned. Jimmy was intrigued. "Maybe I can find you a faster plane," he said. He picked a P-51 Mustang out of a mass of others rusting in a sur- plus dump in the Arizona desert. The plane was lifted onto a truck and hauled to Santa Monica. Jimmy bought a 12-cylinder Rolls- Royce engine and work began to get the plane in shape for flying's biggest race. Jimmy explained that the whole plane was dismantled and rebuilt from scratch. The interiors of the wings were coated with a rubber substance and converted to gasoline tanks, since auxiliary tanks outside the fuselage . would cut down precious speed. Likewise, outside rivets were eliminated and the entire surface sanded, coated and painted with a slick lacquer. "We figure to pick up 15 miles an hour that way," Jimmy reckoned. He hopes the plane will do 500 miles an hour and upward. Hollywood Sights and Sounds Margaret O'Brien walking through the M-G-M commissary in shorts and drawing a few whistles . . .

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN A FORMAL REPLY SHOULD BE WRITTEN ANSWERING A FORMAL INVITATION Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I have always been under the impression that one should ac- knowledge a formal invitation in the same formal manner, following as closely as possible the wording of the invitation. However, a friend of mine has told me that recently she read that this is no longer necessary. Is this corect? E.B. No. The only correct way to reply to a formal invitation (one worded in the third person) is, as you have thought, to write a formal, third person answer. That is, one should reply "in kind," following the for- mality of the invitation, and spac- ing the lines as nearly as possible as they are spaced in the invitation. The reply (acceptance or regret) should be written most meticulously on the first page of double-sheeted letter-paper. This reply-pattern is very simple to follow and to write: for example, and acceptance to a wedding reception invitation: Mr. and Mrs. Duncan Hale accept with pleasure Mr. and Mrs. George Baldwin's kind invitation for Tuesday, the first of October "Surely nothing could be simpler than this form . . . much easier to write than an. informal note of acceptance. A HOUSEWARMING IS A WONDERFUL REASON FOR GIVING A PARTY Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Our new house has just been completed, and we would like to have an informal "Open House," or reception. We live on a farm, and there are quite a few neighbors whom we know, but don't know very well. We would like to invite them and also some other acquaint- ances we would like to know better. Should we announce in the news- paper that we are going to have "Open House," or should we send written invitations? Some of the guests: would be relatives. some our intimate friends, and some the neighbors and acquaintances I mentioned above. W.F. A housewarming is a wonderful reason-for-a-party, and I suggest you give your welcome-to-our- home party a perfect start by mak- ing the invitations a charming prologue to the occasion. This means that you should make a com- plete list of the guests you wish to invite, and send a personal invita- tion to each one. You may an/] nounce in the newspaper that you and your husband are giving a housewarming, announcing its date, ete., but your guests should be given the honor of being invited by card or note. It is especially important that your new neighbors and the acquaintances of whom you speak receive these individual invitations, to assure them they are personally invited. Your invitations may be cordial little notes on cards, ine formals, or semi-note paper: "Biff and I in our new home will be very happy if you and Tom will come to our Housewarming on Sunday, Sep tember 26, sometime between three and seven o'clock. Please say 'Yes, we'll be there' for we both want to give you hearty welcome to our new home! Cordially. Willa." And perhaps you'd like to feature a map enclosed in the invitations, giving the most 'convenient route to your new home . . . this is nos only a practical idea, but the map can be decoratively designed and printed, so that it will be regarded as a party favor, a memento of th occasion, hi FINGER BOWLS SERVED WITH SOME COURSES Dear Mrs. Beeckman: I had always thought that finger bowls were served only after dese sert. But the other evening my husband and I went to an informal dinner at the home of some new friends of our and, with the lobster (which was the main course), finger bowls were placed above the dinneg plates. Is this correct? Marie D. Correct . . . and perfect service, A thoughtful hostess plans to have fia bowls place ve the plates Wucn such courses are served as lobster, steamed clams, grapefruit halves, artichoke . , . and corn on the cob.
