The figure eight at the back, scorned for many decades, has re- turned. It is old enough to be new. Another revival is the French twist topped with a soft circlet of smoothly arranged strands. TIPS FOR TEENS Dates While By ELINOR Jd Ld Can baby-sitting and dating be combined? ' Here's what a high school girl says about it:-- "Dear Bligor: I read your column and look forward to reading each problém that is discussed. Now I . have one of my own. Do you think : it - pérmissable for a girl to have her boy friend keep her company while she is minding a baby? I in- "vited a boy to spend Saturday ev- «ening with me while I was baby- sitting, not thinking there was any- thing wrong with it. Of course I told my parents who promptly said it wasn't right and forbade me to do it again. What do you think about it?" Ans. --Whether you have a date on baby-sitting evenings depends on two factors; 1--Do your parents approve? Some don't because al- though. they trust their daughters, théy know this is likely to cause gossip. .2--Do your employers ap- prove? Some don't because they think that a baby-sitter with a boy on her mind might not give full attention to the children if Even if your parents approved, it mission of your employer before Some girls solve the problem by inviting 'théir boy friend and an- other couple with the understand- ing that they'll talk and play quiet games. (lots of card games are fun for four). But your employers' per- missioni for this is essential, be- it." 'They maintain that double dates during baby-sitting evenings cause too noise made by dancing and Baby Sitting WILLIAMS I are hard on the furniture, having no regard for other people's poss- essions, Furniture and rugs come too high nowadays, thev point out, to be marred needlessly by careless boys and girls who sometimes make themselves too much at home during the owner's absence.

A An Armchair Basket Grand for Homework Have you ever heard of an "arm- chair 'study hall?" Well, leave it to the teen-agers to think of that one. A sprightly seventeener told us of this idea. At the end of the bicycle season, bring the basket from your bike in- doors, Scrub it up and attach it to the arm of your favorite chair. You can do this by running lacings or straps through the basket strap slots and around the chair's arm. The basket will hold your school books--right at arm's reach when you are curled up for an evening of studying. If you are ambitious-- and want to make it fit into the scheme of your room--what about touching the basket up with a bit of paint and lining it with bright calico.

BUNDESEN, M.D. TEND TRIVIAL WOUNDS THE skin is our first line of de- fence against harmful agents in the world about us. For this rea- son it is very important that it be kept in good condition and that any injuries to it be properly at- tended. There are few people who at one time or another have not by ac- cident got a foreign object of one kind or another into the skin or its underlying structures. What is to be done in such cases depends on the type of object, where it As Joested, and how deeply embedded Splinter or Thorn The ordinary wooden splinter thorn can usually be removed home by use of a sterile needle | pair af tweezers, but bits of glass metal slivers are best handled by the doctor. In either case, as soon as the object is removed the area should be washed well with soap and water. Where the injury is severe, the part should be splinted for from one to three days. If there is danger of infection, a warm, wet dressing may be put on for an hour, four times a day. A splinter of wood under the fingér-nail is particularly danger- ous because it may carry germs in- to the circulation. When removing such a splinter, the finger-nail is trimmed and shaved with a knife to expose the splinter. Then it may be easily removed and the area again washed well with soap and water. Indelible Pencil Often a puncture of the skin with an indelible pencil may oc- cur. The dye from such a pencil may cause inflammation and de- struction of some of the tissue. In these cases, it is suggested that the discolored area be completely cut away. When one falls onto gravel or cinders the bits of material us- uallly lie close to the skin surface and sometimes may be scrubbed out, using a stiff handbrush. If the particles are more deeply lodg- ed, it may 'be necessary to give an anesthetic to put the 'patient to sleep before the particles are pick- ed out by the doctor. Tetanus Germs Now and then dirty material from a blank cartridge gets into the | skin. This material frequently car- ries tetanus or lock-jaw germs, and other dangerous bacteria. Thus, it is necessary to open the wound completely and remove the foreign material. The patient should be given 'an injection of antitetanus serum at once, as well as serum for preventing the so-called gas infec- tions, He is also given sulfona- mide drugs or penicillin 'to aid in warding off other infections. Proper care in those instances in which bits of material get into the underlying - tissues is important in order to avoid serious trouble. No wound, no' matter how trivial, should be" neglected, for serious in- fections may result from small scratches, as well as from large lac- erations of the skin. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS C.B.. Will you please tell me 'whether or not myopia can be cur- ed? Answer: Nearsightedness or myopia cannot .be cured. Glasses may be-put on which -will enable the individual with this condition to see normally and help to keep the condition: from becoming any worse. Women Advised To Make Own Wills Be sure your will does not lend itself to misinterpretation, Miss Elizabeth Newton, KC, warned sev- eral hundred women at the second lecture of the fourth series on law by the Provihcial Council of Wom- en. Her subject was The Lawyer's Best Friend, the Woman Who Makes Her Own Will. Miss Grace Gordon, convener, presided, and Dr. Edna Guest thanked the speaker. No branch in law finds the lay- man more willing to act for himself than the drawing of wills, Miss Newton claimed. Costs of constru- ing the meaning of wills come out of the estates, and frequently the legal profession gets so much more from the home-made will or the estate of the person who leaves no will that it is no wonder we toast "the jolly testator who makes hig own will." Your solicitor would much rather keep you out of trouble than get you out of it; his advice cannot be measured in money, she said in warning women 'not to try to make GLAMORIZING What To Do For Oily Hair By HELKN Singer El Knapp d FOLLETT trates a good brushing technique for those with oily hair, Lo * AMONG the girls who stand at beauty's wailing wall, not one will lament as loudly as the girl with | oily hair. Every shaft sticking to its neighbors! Ringlets going stringy in no time. The whole | crown, which is anything but glor- | ious, looks as if it had just been larded. First step; change the shampoo agent. Keep on changing until you find the right one, one that | can be thoroughly rinsed away. It | often happens that it isn't sebac- eous oil sent out by the scalp that | is responsible for the wretched | condition, but an accumulation of | soap scum. It is not easy to make | a thorough job of shampooing. It takes time, a strong current of wa- ter and plenty of friction. If you fancy you can rub a bar of soap over your head, stand under the shower for a few minutes, and get your hair shining clean, you are sadly mistaken. Different Shampoos On cosmetic counters are many | shampoo offerings, more than we have ever seen before; oils, creams, soaps, even dry shampoo mediums. But no matter what one uses, the technique must be' correct. A good brushing should precede the lath- ering, a friction should a And brush your hair regular every night, too. When the hair «is oily, the skin is likely to carry a shine. The sensible thing then is to regulate their wills sound professional by using legal' phrasesy" for" a little learning is a glangerous thing; and so are will forms." R Holograph wills and those drawn in an emergency. by nurse; doctor or friend must, in this province, be signed and witnessed by two per- sons. They should be in simple lan- guage, for we cannot explain our intentions when our wills are being probated. Pious requests cause a lot of trouble, and extraordinary wills are foolish because, if nothing else, they may make sport for the press, trouble for the court, and probably for those we wish to benefit. Wills made in an emergency should, in case the testator has later opportunity to make a will, be revoked and a new and studied will made, or at least a codicil added to bring it up to date. Mrs. William Weller, arts and letters convener, made a plea for books for the library at the Boys' Reform School--books that will in- terest boys and give them as much pleasure as the musical instruments | which the council is providing for their band. SAFE WELDING Toxic gasses generated in all] types of welding procedures may be dangerous unless the area where | the work is being done is properly | ventilate. Many approved types | of ventilation for 'welding booths | are in use in industry. Welding | operations should not be under- taken without their protection. LH ({ Ne | without cream. * the diet so that the glands will be less active. Cut down on foods containing fat in any form. That means that the "oilies" must close their eyes sebaceous when the pastries are passed. Rye ! toast is preferred to buttered bread. Coffee and tea should be taken ted if it is crisp. Pork 'is taboo. Drink several glassesjof water a day. Take orange or Tomato juice for their vitamin content, green vegetables for the mineral salts they contain, More and more it is proven that diet has much to do with looks-- good or not so good.

"I've' found the best way to take off weight is to dance," said Betty Grable, "The Beautiful Blonde from Bashful Bend." No catch phrase that but the name of ter current film; Preston Sturges ran it it up. "About 10 years ago, I started put- ting on a little weiglat in places, be- cause I hadn't been dancing. So I took a few acrobatic lessons and the poundage came off in no time." Betty assured that any kind of dancing will help. "It's important to start dancing when you're young," she added. "I began taking four lessons a week when I was five, It helps you in more ways than just your. figure. Dancing gives you grace. Because I started it early, I never went through tie awkward age." As for dieting, Betty said doesn't do much. "If I get. a bit heavy, I can stop eating for two days and the weight goes down immediately." The girl who puts on Betty's body makeup had an interesting" com- mentary on the famed frame. "Everyone talks about Betty's fig- ure," she said, "but ne one mentions her feet, She's got perfect feet."

PALATE PLEASERS she | The mouth and throat of a {young child are sensitive, there- | fore lukewarm foods are appreci- ated. The sense of smell and taste are acute and mild flavors and odors are preferred. Children like plain -foods and 'tend to pick at mixed foods.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Soar NT Dear Mrs. Beecks I'd appreciate it very much if you would please answer two ques- | tions for me, to settle a discussion. (1) When I marry, does my uncle become my wife's uncle? (2 When I marry, does my wife's niece be- come my niece? | pani Frank G. Although your uncle does not ac- tually become your wife's relative by marriage, she would call him "Uncle George," or by whatever name you call him. That is, your wife would call your uncles, your aunts, your cousins, your grand- parents, exactly what you do. And you, in turn, call "her uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents (and her niece, too exactly what she does. (This definite custom as to name-procedure does not apply to parents-in-law, for there is no def- inite rule about what a wife calls her husband's parents, or what name he calls his wife's parents. In introducing your uncle your wife might say, "Mrs. Allen, may I present my husband's uncle, Mr. Graham." Or, more in- formally, "Miss Foster, this is John's Uncle George . . . Mr. Gra- ham." (Or she may properly and Similarly you may introduce your | wife's niece as "my wife's niece, Doris Donaldson," or, to an inti- mate » friend, as '"Mary's niece, Doris Donaldson." Or, to include your devotion too "Mrs. Robinson, this is our niece, Doris Donaldson." | Christening Followed By Buffet | Supper | Dear Mrs. Beeckman: | We are going to have our baby | christened on a Sunday afternoon soon in our home. The christening | will be in the late afternoon, and | that same evening, about two hours | after the hour of the christening, | we are planning to have 2 buffet ! supper in honor of a friend of ours. {Most everyone attending \the | christening, except the minister, | will be staying on for the buffet | supper. = Since there is such a | short time between the two events, | need I serve anything after the | christening? If so, what? Would | serving sherry be in order? (I | | have seen the minister drink wine graciously say, "our uncle George." | at a wedding when a toast is pro- posed, but would it be all right to offer it to him after a christen- ing?) R. E. I think you should serve some- thing after the christening, some- thing simple, something appropri- ate to that hour and to the occa- sion. Also this would be.a gesture of hospitality to those guests not staying for the buffet supper. Yes, the serving of sherry would be suit- able; with simple hors d'oeuvres, or very small bread-and-butter sandwiches, and/or potato chips, salted nuts, Remember: for those who prefer, a non-alcoholic drink, be sure to provide a drink such as ice-cold tomato juice or a fruit juice or gingerale or other soft drink. The sherry and other drink- able may provide the wherewithal for the toast "to the health and happiness and welfare" of the baby. Eating either a piece of the chris- tening cake (which is often serv- ed) or whatever is served after the christening is a sign that one is partaking of the baby's hospital- ity, and therefore is the' baby's friend. Offer the minister a choice of the drinkables you are serving, and leave the choice to him. | Here Are Jewel-Expressions | "Thank you," "Please," "I beg | your pardon," "Do you mind if | T...:2" "I am sorry" . .. these and similar expressions that show con- sideration for others are jewels in the setting of our daily life, And we should say them with such | grace that they radiate their kindly | inclination to others, friends, co- | workers, acquaintances, strangers. p » (Mrs. Beeckman will be glad to answer questions sumbitted by readers.)
