oo MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZET TE PAGE SEVEN BEAUTY FOR YOU -- What Is Glamour? By EELEN JAMESON - Of all the over-worked words, glamor heads the list! Do you know what the dictionar; says it i -*y{sten. We quote: "a charm mak- "%7ing objects appear different from " A ts ap- what they are; making objec pear delusively magnified and gor ified" Ha! Then glamor isn ""peauty, because beauty id will the pretties who ste striving to be glamorous say "'that? They'll get up on their beau- ¢iful slender legs and say it isn't so. All that effort to be somebody you aren't. The girl who likes to w "be her natural self will get a laugh out of that. What are your thoughts when * you visualize a glamor girl? You "* dream of a radiant creature, ar- ed in costly dry goods, who i bod to be floating in the air, she is so slender and lovely. She is, of ~ course, followed by a pack of hand- some wolves who battle for her smiles. She gets her pictures in the newspapers, showing beautiful teeth, wide-open eyes, flowing tres- 'ses, exquisite shoulders. "< you imagine that she has break- {ast in bed every morning snuggled under satin covers, is happy as mor- "tal can be. But it is surprising how many of them marry and have husband troubles--one divorce after another. They're spoiled with adulation. 4+ Some of the sisters would rather * awaken at the crack of dawn, take the baby out of his crib, get break- » fast for pappy, have a nice chin- Z chin about this and that, kiss him : goodbye when he tears out to bring ! home the bacon and spinach. A > homely picture, we .allow, but it ! has its joys and pleasures. It is a * more normal life than that of the ¢ night-club addict who is burning J the candle at both ends. . We're all for making oneself as % attractive and lovely as possible * but, unless one is a theatrical or » movie star, it seems pretty sense- ? 1c.. to make it an occupation. One : finds satisfaction in a reflection in =» the mirror that is not disturbing 2 and which, one believes, will get by is real.|, How do you visualize a glamor girl? A Physician Advises You By HERMAN A. BUNDESEN, M.D. APPENDICITIS IN THE AGED SINCE I was a medical student, and that was many years ago, we have gone a long way in the man- agement of acute appendicitis and now results are fairly satisfactory, with one exception. This exception is the failure to recognize and treat promptly appendicitis in the older group of patients, particular- ly those over the ages of 40. We have found out that elderly persons with appendicitis develop the condition slowly. Often the pa- tient may not even look sick dur- ing an attack. However, the condi- tion progresses rapidly and, by the fourth day of the disorder, the ap- pendix may have broken open, dis- charging its contents into the cav- ity of the abdomen, resulting in peritonitis. Symptoms Not Typical Then, too, the older patient with appendicitis often delays in seeking attention. Unfortunately, the symp- toms are not typical as they are in young persons, and a correct diag- nosis is difficult; and, as I have mentioned, breaking of the appen- dix develops very early. Probahly the most important con- tributing factor to the bad outcome in these persons is self-treatment and the taking of laxatives at home * kp in a crowd. It isn't vanity, it is | just self-respect that makes: a girl | desire to appear her best, be easy on the eye. The more intelligent 2 | woman is the better are her chances for self-improvement, because she has good taste. There's a- difference glamor and charm. Glamor is only | for the eye. Charm appeals to the | ear, the mind and the heart. To be charming should be the ambition | of every girl. Charm is a passport. | It takes her places. It wins friends, | oils the wheels of life, makes the | going smoother and easier. | If a girl has charm, she is tact- | ful, never says a rude word, is never | snobbish, overbearing or intolerant, | She does not envy the glamor girl. | She knows 'she's tops. between | TIPS FOR TEENS Mixed Views on Smoking | By ELINOR WILLIAMS = x. There are two sides to every ques- tio, they say. So here are two sides to the smoking question that rages stormily between some parents and " high schoolers. A group of girls write: "We are 13 and think we should be allowed to smoke. All the boys smoke and they like to have girls smoke with .them. This makes smoking a social "asset and for that reason we think we should be allowed to do it." Now comes ° letter from a high school boy. He wrote it entirely on his own accord without any sugges- tions from this column or elsewhere. Apparently he wrote it simply be- cause he believes in what he has written and wants to say so. In oth- er words, he's sincere in what he writes. "I am a senior in an all-boys' high school and since it is just for boys the chief topic of conversation is oftén girls and dates. "Almost all of the fellows I know | here are on some athletic team. I'm telling you this because it Shows that they are not sissies and it shows that their interest in athletics makes them health-conscious and they think more of keeping in good condition than perhaps some boys do. T "We are almost unanimously agreed that one of the very few things we dislike girls in their 'teens | to do is to smoke. We feel that for | a young girl of high school age (15 | to 18) this is a disgusting habit, es- | pecially when it is done to excess. | "It is our suggestion that you | print something in your column . . .| if a girl would like to have more | dates, she should give up smoking. | If she has never started, stay away | from it."

You can use it with- out a handle. ! | |shining surface. | prior to entering the hospital. Not only is the delay dangerous, but the use of the laxative may make rup- ture of the appendix more likely. Abdominal Pain The usual symptoms of appendi- citis consist of pain in the right lower part of the abdomen, together with tenderness on pressure on this |area, and some stiffness or rigidity of the muscles. The white cells in the blood area are, as a rule, in- creased, and there may be fever. Sickness at the stomach and vomit- ing often but not always occur. If there is any suspicion of appen- | dicitis and a definite diagnosis is not possitle, nevertheless be carried out prompt- ly. If the patient should have .an attack of appendicitis and recovers from it without operation, the ap- pendix may best be removed during the period when no symptoms are present. There are a number of conditions of the bowel which may contribute to the development of appendici- tis, such as a blocking of the bow- el, due to narrowing of the pas- sageway through it. Weak Spots Elderly persons commonly have what is known as diverticulae in the appendix. These are litle outpouch- ings, similar in appearance to those which occur in the weak spots of a rubber tube. If the symptoms of appendicitis occur or, better 'yet, if any pain develops in the abdomen, there should be no delay in having an im- mediate examination made by the doctor. More important--self-treat- ment should not be attempted. Be- cause hundreds of people have not followed .this advice, they have needlessly sacrificed their lives. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS P. S.: What is spastic colitis? Answer: Spastic colitis means in- {flammation of the bowel in which the muscle tissue of the bowel is in spasm, often associated with con- stipation. Because the bowel is irri- tated, it is customary in such cases to use soft diets, free from excess- | ive fiber.

Mississippi's Barney Poole and SLA's Bill Clements flank the line at ends. Guards Bill Fischer of Notre Dame and Rod Franz of California were chosen for their rugged good looks.

CORNELIUS BEECKMAN The majority of the Christmas cards this year, expensive or in- expensive, really look like Christ- mas cards. Unlike so many of the cards we've seen in the past several years, they don't give the impres- sion of straining after some "or- iginal" or "modern" or "modern- istic" effect that doesn't have much to do with the idea of Christmas or with the spirit of a Christmas message. And very heart-satisfying and spirit-satisfying this is! The 1948 Christmas cards honor and glorify the beloved symbols of Christmas by a charming and very clear-cut émphasis in design. This emphasis is achieved sometimes by radiant color, often by combination with bright metallic papers, almost always by the use of the symbol alone in its glory. One wonderful Christmas wreath. One brightly- lighted Christmas candle. One beautiful Christmas tree, in red or in blue or in white. One Christ- mas angel, all white-and-gold. One Wondrous Christmas bell, a-ringing the great message. One dramatic spray of holly, the berries bright, bright red. All this an interesting departure from former, often tpo- cluttered designing, If you are a music lover you can select lovely, lively, gay cards that reflect your interest. in melody. There's a song in the air this year ...that "glorious song of old"--on many of 1948's cards, cards on which musical motifs are used as a theme in the design. Traditional cards with carollers and choir boys. Appealing scenes of groups singing --sometimes groups of children, sometimes family groups welcoming Christmas, On several cards are a few bars of a Christmas song or ; hymn that you will easily recognize. In the designs this year there are not so many "traditional scenes" as usual--not so many hunting, scenes, stagecoach scenes, bringing-in-the- yule-log, and so forth. Never have there been so many designs of the kindly, jolly gentleman known as Santa Claus. He's dramatized, pictured, sketched in all engaging and endearing ways. He's the 1948 glamor boy. That clilting, debonair word GREETINGS is used in a marvel- lous variety of ways, plain ways and fancy ways, simple ways, dramatic was. It's'a word of real charm, and with the lovely grace of taking on the personality you give it! Most often this year it's used alone in distinguished block letters or in handsome script on the first page of folded cards that try to lure you to write your own greetings on the inside pages. Great Art is being shown in Christmas cards this year. In many cities the Art Museums are offering reproductions in Christmas card form of some of their classical art originals. In New York, for ex- ample, the Metropolitan Museum of Art has selected for card-repro- duction twenty-four rare works of beauty and sentiment (price range of these cards from 5 to 20 cents!). With photography such a raging hobby today, pet negatives are be- ing developed like mad and snap- shots-with-the-personal touch are being incorporated into Christmas card designs. There have néver been so few cards carrying the abbreviation "Xmas" For which, let's give grate- ful thanks! CHRISTMAS is such a heart-warming word, such a beauti- ful, inspiring word that it (not "Xmas") should always be used . . . in printing, in engraving, in hand- writing. It's your own fault if you choose the smart - aleck, trying - to - be- funny, wise-cracking horrors that are still with us (although, thank Heaven, in much smallér numbers). If you're tempted to buy them, try to remember, please, how pathetic- ally inappropriate they will be when they arrive at Christmas- time. And don't be tempted by the "cute" or "whimsical" cards with designs and message-wording com- pletely lacking in suitability and therefore in taste. : There has never been such a wide variety of religious cards as this year ... when our hearts and spirits need so much religious in- spiration. There are many beautiful reproductions of old masters, many reproductions of great paintings of famous Madonnas. Many of these cards carry Biblical quotations, often printed manuscript-style with elaborately illuminated initial let- ters. One very handsome one'is a Christmas tree, star-crowned, form- ed of the words "On earth, Peace, Good Will toward Men." You will be surprised ... and as delighted as I am, I hope! ... to see the large proportion of blank pages in Christmas cards this year. The better to write your ewn mes- sages! There seems, I think, to be the beginning of a rebellion against the worn-out phrases and the sing- song jingles ... and there is the hope that we will be inspired, at this beautiful Christmas-time, to write our own greeting, if only "Happy Christmas" or the one singing word "Hallelujah!" in our own handwriting, (Mrs, Beeckman will be glad to answer questions submitted by readers.)
