MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1948 THE DAILY TI MES-GAZETTE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU -- Have You Learned How to Walk? By EELEN JAMESON + Every woman has obligatiens to Pihiérself. One of them is to keep her body youthfu] throughout the years. 'The manner in which she moves, walks and sits will do much to de- termine whether graceful lines will remain or be distorted by bulges and over-curves, The sisters put up a grand fight to maintain fair com- plexions, to sport the chic hair do, to keep their fingernails shining bright. They seem to overlook the fact that a beautiful silhouette is as valuable a beauty asset as a pretty face. Stand on any street and watch the women pass. Note how they walk. Some shuffle, some lope, some take little mincing steps that _ are'derky and awkward, Then along comes a woman who "walks in beau- ty like the night." Her head is bal- ' anced, her back is straight, - her chest is lifted--every movement is one of grace. She may wear the most ordinary clothes, but she has style and distinction. You don't see many of her, and that is a pity. Rightness of movement consti- tutes the basis of grace. There should be no striving to be graceful. Grace 'should be as natural as Jbreathing, and in time it will be if one keeps the musculature in prime condition, if one carries the spinal column properly. 'The feet will seem to caress the ground instead of pounding along with the move- ments so common to many women, especially those who are overweight, Walking should be a progression in a straight line with no waste motions spent in throwing the body * backward or toward the sides. The sidé motion leads to waddling, Per- haps you fancy there are no wad- dlers? How about those cute little hip-swingers? It is the same thing and it is not pretty. Don't forget the part your spinal column--the main support of the body--plays in your progression. It must be kept extended full length if thé hip movement is to be correct. Knees must be kept straightened. Stepping first on the toes throws the body backward, even while be- ing carried forward with each step. ' Coming down on the heels jars the entire anatomical structure. Divide your weight by coming down on the IROLON 7.9 BREA) i ERY '% OOOO? $000! ASH yt hy, Jo wo The back must be limber. * + ball of the foot and the heel. The back must be limber if move- ments are to be graceful, if one is to have a feeling of lightness and poise imparted to the entire body. If you are muscle-bound, try the following exercise: To Remove your shoes and strip to your undies, Lean over with your arms down to your knees. Slowly rotate the body from side to side. The main movements will be at the waistline. It is precisely there that |. muscle toning is necessary, Arms and legs get exercise during tht day's activities, but the midsection gets no exercise at all unless one has some favorite outdoor sport, like tennis, golf or archery. After five minutes of rotating, start walking and keep up the same swinging motions. Fine business! You will be rewarded! TIPS FOR TEENS Are You a Welcome Guest?

P N and TI was hoping. you might give me some pointers on what would be proper to take along," writes a reader. "I would appreciate it very much if you would let me know through the column in the paper. I'm sure many other girls have been in this same predicament and the information would come in handy for all of us." It's always a good idea to ask your friend in advance what kind of clothes youre likely to need, sO youll have everything required and won't have to borrow a bathing suit, a party dress or the right kind of rugged clothes for a hike and pic- nic in the country. It's too late to ask her now, so why not take the following or something similar: An outfit for outdoor fun--shirt or blouse and shorts or pedal push- ers. A bathing suit if needed. Two cotton dressts or blouse and skirt combinations for general wear. A dress-up dress, hat and shoes for Saturday evening and Sunday. Nightie or pajamas, slippers, robe. Don't forget a coat, an extra sweater or jacket, socks, comfortable shoes for outdoors, tooth-brush, wash cloth, comb, lipstick, etc. Tuck a "Thank you" gift for your hostess (your friend's mother) into your bag, too, It's the thoughtful- ness that counts, not the cost. Scented bath powder and cologne set. or candy won't bankrupt you. Afterward, send hér a "Thank you" note. &. A Physician Advises You By HERMAN A. BUNDESEN, M.D. AN ALARMING SYMPTOM BLOOD in the urine is always a very serious symptom , and one which demands immediate inves- tigation by a physician to deter- mine its cause. I want to em- phasize this important examina- tion by a physician because the condition has been known to oc- cur in people who seemed to be in excellent general health and, for that reason, has been disregarded and considered of little conse- quence. The bleeding may be due to a large variety of conditions. For ex- ample, it may come from some dis- turbance of the blood itself, such as hemophilia, scurvy or purpura, and conditions in which there is some interference with normal blood clotting. Certain Infections Blood may appear in the urine in certain infections, such as typhoid fever, malaria or scarlet fever, or it may come from infections near the urinary tract, such as appendicitis. Certain drugs may cause blood to appear in the urine, including the sufonamide drugs and dicumarol. In addition to these cases, there may be some disturbance, such as an infection or the presence of a stone in the urethra which leads from the bladder to the surface. Also, some disorder of the bladder may be present, such as a kidney stone, ulcer or infection, or 'there may be a tumor growth in the kid- ney or the ureter which leads from the kidney to the bMdder. When blood appears in the urine, it is necessary to find the area from which the blood is coming, as well asthe abnormal condition which is producing it. In most instances, the bleeding is due to some actual dis- order of the urinary tract. Special tests may be necessary to determine the- cause for the bleed- ing. X-rays of the kidney, ureter and bladder may be taken by inject- ing certain substances into a vein or muscle. These substances are ex- tracted by thejkidney and make the structure of the urinary tract vis- ible in the X-ray plate. An examination with a cystoscope (an instrument composed of a tube and a light which makes it possible for the doctor to look directly into the bladder) is important in aiding in the diagnosis of blood in the urine. Vital Concern Blood in the urine when due to a tumor present in the bladder or kidneys should be of vital concern. Some of these tumors are not serious, while others may be ex- tremely dangerous. Hence, the earlier they are discovered and re- moved, the better the outlook for the patient. It is perhaps fortunate that blood in the urine occurs as a warnihg sign of these tumors, and such a. warning sign should never be neglected. It always calls for im- mediate and thorough study by a doctor. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS J. H K.: What causes bad breath? Answer: Bad odor of the breath may concern from several things, as infected teeth, bad tonsils or adenoids, or infection of the nose or nasal sinuses. Foul breath may likewise be due to constipation or dyspepsia. £7 A thorough examMhation should be made by a physician to deter- mine the cause. When this is found, the condition can be quick- ly cleared up. Pretty Lawn Wedding For Dr. JW. Hashell Of local interest was the mar. riage in Orton of Dr. J. W. Has- kell of Oshawa and Miss Jessie Elizabeth King, daughter of . Mr. and Mrs, J. W. King. The cere- mony was held on the lawn of the home of the bride's parents against a background of cedars, ferns and gladioli, ~and the Rev. N. Robert- son of Guelph officiated. The bridegroom is the son of Mrs. J. R. Haskell of Port Arthur and the late Mr, Haskell. Given in matriage by her fath- er, the bride wore a traditional white satin gown with fitted bo- dice, high neckline, long sleeves ending in lily points, full skirt and bustle back. A head dress of seed pearls held the full length veil. She carried a cascade of red and white roses. . The attendants were her sister, Mrs. Donald Overland and Miss Nancy King, the former wearing pink taffeta and the latter blue taffeta with matching head dress- es and bouquets of pink roses. Mr. James Haskell of Port Arthur was the bestman. The ushers were Messrs Jack Deering and Clarence King. The wedding music. "was played by Miss Florence Johnston, Orangeville. The soloist was Mrs. D. Callander, Guelph. She sang "Because God Gave Me You" and "Through the Years." Following the ceremony a re- ception was held for 60 guests. The ' " EE -- Would you like to Four courses LEARN TO SEW?

ANLE GLAMORIZING Neck Needs Nightly Massage By HELEN FOLLETT A pretty neck needs just as much care as a pretty face, says Screen Star Martha Hyer, who gives hers a nightly creaming. * HAS the summer been tough on your neck? The red marks of sun- burn can be most persistent, stay right there for months. It would be well for you to consider this matter. Take a small mirror, look in a large one, get a backward view. You may spot a colony of freckles at tlie nape line. Freckles don't care where they land. When applying cream at night to your sacred complexion, start far down on your chest and work up- ward. Give your shoulders a few creamy wallops. Smooth up and down on your throat, up and down under your ears, up and down at the back. Muscles and tissues are strong there, so you need not be gentle. The stronger the friction, the more discolored skin scales you will remove. In the morning wash face and neck with clear tepid water, then sponge with a mild bleach made by combining equal parts of peroxide and strained lemon juice. See that the peroxide is from a fresh bottle; it wil] be more effective than if it bas been standing in the medicine cabinet for some time. Let it dry on. It will help remove the damage done by strong sunlight. The thin, scrawny neck is bene- fited by massage with a heavy cream. Neck exercises are normalizing, just as good for the thin ones as the plumpies, Sit tall, hands on hips. Take a deep breath, heaving the chest high and, while holding your breath, turn the head as far to the bride's mother received in a black crepe dress with a corsage of red roses. She was assisted by Mrs. Haskell, wearing a dress of blue crepe sequin trim and corsage of red roses. For the wedding trip to points west the bride wore a brown moire taffeta suit, winter white coat, brown accessories: and corsage of yellow roses. Guests 'were present from Port Arthur, St. Catharines, Torontb, Guelph, Orangeville, Grand Val. ley, Fergus and Washington, D.C.

Be fussy about necklines of frocks, The rule is: the V cut for plump necks, the round for thin Hollywood 'Highlights By RALPH DIGHTON (FOR BOB THOMAS) Hollywood--(AP)--The most gor- geous hunk of cheesecake to come frcm Germany since Marlene Diet- rich is about to be uncrated in Hol- lywood, She's been in town since last L..rch but has been kept closely guarded by producer David O. Sel- zn! Her name js Hildegarde Neff She was discovered by American newspaper men who streamed into Berlin after the war. They found her singing in German cafes, or act- ing in German stock companies. Then all of a sudden, Hildegard Knef (her real name) dropped out of sight. She was no longer to be seen in music halls and theatres and those who sought her were forced to concede that maybe she was, af- ter all, just a 10-day sensation. Now the truth can be told She came to the United States last Jan- uary, was met in New York City by Selznick and placed under contract Gets Selznick Treatment The trouble was, Miss Neff couldn't understand English. That's been remedied now. In the inter- vening months Selznick has given her the same treatment with which he conditioned Greta Garbo, Ingrid Bergman and Elida Valli for pro- fessional careers in this country. In an interview, Miss Neff told a story of personal tragedy which, in a movie, would be considered corny. She escaped being nazified, or im-« prisoned, during the Hitler era only because she was a victim of infan- tile paralysis, "It was obvious even to the Ges- tapo," she said, "that I would be of little value in a work camp or youtn centre." Physically, despite her earlier ill- ness, Miss Neff has at least as much of everything that Dietrich had 20 years ago. Proof of this is the way she met her husband, an ex-United States Army officer named Kurt Hirsch, in Berlin. "He whistled at me," she confided. ones. The woman who is bl d with a beautiful neck will find the square cut flattering and becoming. Middy Two-Piecer Launching the nicest fashion for a midshipmite!

WHAT SHOULD 1 DO ABOUT 45th Wedding Anniversary Gifts? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Déar Mrs. Beeckman: Since there is no special gift for a 45th wedding anniversary, will you please make a few suggestions for % suitable gift to be taken to an Open House party on this oc- casion? D.M. Sapphire is the label traditional- ly given to the 45th wedding anni- versary . . . and although most people (naturally!) can't indulge in the luxury of giving the jewels assigned to various anniversaries, some imaginative people do give a gift in the color of the symbol. For example, you might give a sap- phire - colored (or sapphire - pre- dominating) breakfast or luncheon set; or you may be able to find some item of glassware in this shade; or some paper item you could have monogrammed or initialed in this color; or perhaps one or a pair of cushions in a maie- rial with sapphire predominating; or a framed picture. If none of these or similar gifts is obtainable, anything is appropriate to give which is suitable for the use of both, which you think both will welcome, and which is "congenial" to your gift-budget. No One Should "Offer" To Be a Member of a Wedding Party Dear Mrs. Beeckman: A close friend of mine has asked me if she may be my maid of honor, but I would much prefer someone else. Is it bad taste to re- fuse this person? The procession will be upset if she is the maid of honor. W. L. It is completely incorrect and out-of-order for anyone . . . mem- ber of the family, relative, friend . .. to ask to be a member of the wedding party. And if anyone per- sists in being so #pushing," it is of course your prerogative to explain that your wedding party plans have already been made. For this ex- planation summon all your tact, so that your "I'm sorry, but . .. " will be as gracious as you can pos- sibly make it! They Should Wear Hats Dear Mrs. Beeckman: At my niece's wedding reception, at her home in the afternoon after the ceremony, I have been asked to pour the coffee, and my daugh- ter has been asked to serve the punch. Of course we will both wear hats at the church service. Should we also wear qur hats as we serve during the reception? E. W. 8. Yes, you should both wear your hats during the reception. Wedding Questions Dear Mrs. Beeckman: (1) When there are to be three bridesmaids in the bridal party, would it be proper to have the bridesmaids and ushers walk down the aisle together? (2) Would it be correct to invite the parents of the bridesmaids and ushers to the wedding dinner? (3) Is it neces- sary to send a special invitation to the boy-friend of a relative? (4) Would it be correct for the mother of the bride and the mother of the groom to wear gowns at a morn- ing wedding? J.P (1) In the processional, the bridesmaids of course must not walk with the ushers . . . the ushers walk first, the bridesmaids follow- ing, either in single file or one bridesmaid walking alone before or after the pair of bridesmaids. In the recessional, they may walk in the same way, or the three brides- maids may walk with the three ushers. (2) This is certainly not necessary at a small wedding din- ner; but is correct, though not ne- cessary, at a large wedding dinner. (3) Not necessary ... but gracious, if the wedding is to be a large, or fairly large, one. (4) Yes, if the wedding is to be formal, or even semi-formal. The Tongue . . . "An Unruly Member" By Mrs. Beeckman If you are the prat-prat-prattler about whom everyone says (or is tempted to say) "She just never stops talking" . . . stop a second or two to think how selfish you are, what an overpowering ego you have, to think that everyone -- every- where, and always--wants to listen to the perpetual sounding-off of your personal thoughts and person- al affairs, (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions submitted by readers.) 1 metal mesh fob watch studded with | rhinestones.
