However, for those of us who intend to stay right here. Grace Downs. head of one of New York's mode'liiig schools, has ii few more practical suggestions for achieving beauty.

He was A college graduate with a fine position, but. though he was he was Through a mutual friend. I learned that he was interested in me, but I never received any encouragement from him. after a year of dating Ernie. I was introduced to Chris, who had an entirely different personality. We became engaged recently. How- time to announce the engagement, (Continued on page 11) "A hairstyle fashioned by a stylist with 5. really artistic eye will adhere to the contours of your face,” says Miss Downs. "As for the hair fashion of the day. let's Just forget about it if it's not for you. After all, even Diet- rich might have looked absurd in a pony tail" Miss Downs goes on to say that. "Make-up, of course. is dependent upon your ovum natural colouring and should depend upon your na- tural colour type. Nearly every department store has a reliable make-up consultant behind the cosmetic counter. and an hour or so with her is truly well spent. ”Today's fashion designers have shown every conceivable bit of imagination in designing clothing for any and every type of figure. Shop for the figure you own, not the figure you hope for. You'll be much more satisfied wi-th the re- sults. It's wonderful to know that today every woman can dress in high fashion on even a very limit- ed budget. "Excessive dieting is the hob- goblin of good health and beau- ty and has been long outmoded. A moderate diet is easier to fol- low, oonsequently it's much more effective in the long run. and your good health, the first and most important essential of beauty - does not suffer.” extremely reticent in matters Then.

I have written before about the removal of tonsils within a. few weeks before an epidemic occurs being our 'dered inadvisable be- cause all statistics prove that re- moval of tonsils at this time ren- ders the person more likely to be attacked by the paralytic (bulbar) type of poliomyelitis - in fact, sta- tistics prove that not only tonsils. but surgical treatment of teeth and gums just prior to an epidemic will also predispose to pollomyelitis. While the,virus causing polio has been isolated and a form of treatment - gamma globulin -4 es- tablished by governments, there are predisposing factors that are now being investigated carefully by research workers and general phy- sicians and, as this knowledge is gained, it is being given to the general public. In the New England Journal of Medicine, Drs. T. H. Ingalls and W. Aycock add uprper respiratory infections - nose, throat, bronch- ial tubes, lungs - tn the already known predisposing factors to pol- iomyelitis. ”The onset of paralysis is be- lieved to be influenced or deter- mined by certain predisposing fac- tors just before the attack orrurs. These include overexertlon and fatigue, chilling or overheating, in- jury, pregnancy. menstruation, re- moval of tonsils. preventive inocu- lotions, and other injections." In a school. 41 per cent of boys who later developed poliomyelitis had upper respiratory infections while only 19 per cent of others in the school had such illness. The in"- tervnl between onset of two illness- es averaged 9',a days in lo boys and 5 of the 10 were of the bulbar (paralytic) type. Dr. F. K. Top. in the Journal of the American Medical Association reports that 51.9 percent of i947 patients with poliomyelitis had had their tonsils removed at some time. Of these. 85.1 per cent had the bulbar type. What about the control or pre- vention of polictrnyelitis? In the Journal of the American Medical Association. Drs. W. McD, I-lammon, L. L. Coriell and others report a series of extensive controlled in- vestigations into the value of Anprican Red Cross gamma glob- ulin in the prophylactic (preven- tive) mass inoculation of children who might have been exposedto the infection in areas where the disease is epidemic. Among 54,772 children inoculated in alternate cases with gamma globulin and gelatin respectively. 90 cases of paralytic paliomyelitis occured. and of these 26 received gamma globulin and 64 gelatin This proves that gamma globulin has protective value against paralytic disease in man. Protection appeared to last five weeks. when the gamma glob- ulin was given within a. week of the onset. the disease. though not prevented, was in mild form. d I teaspoon of Shirrifa True .

But will not the spring return her safely to the farm of which she is still the mistress-to look out again an the familiar scenes of Home! To sigh, it is true, over departed days, for loved ones taken or separ- ated by distance, for old friends gone and all the sad changes the years in passing have wroug'ht. But one Sunday morning, when the fields are greening and the birds are carolling their new songs and the old maple in the Church-yard is again freshly decked in young leaves, forgetful of those glories of prairie and river, of mountain and sea she has been abroad, will she not love to walk once more the long mile of the Spruce Grove Road to service of worship in the old Kirk at tihe comer, she knows so Well? "A fine chld." the Doctor smiled, "yes. a lovely little girl!" Given adult ways. womanly and capable even in her childhood years, this babe born on that white winter morning in the House on the Hill was destined to bring cheer and in- spiration to all whose lives touched hers. She chose a business training and since graduation has occupied an honoured position In the city. She looks whead also to II life of happiness in a new home with the man of her choice. . . . We met when she was about to leave her place of employment for her lunch-hour. Out of doors the rain teemed. dancing on the fall streets . .. washing them cleanly.

"No." she replied moving off to keep now her tryst. "he's coming by in the car for me." Bless these brides of fall who so happily. and unafraid of the future, set forth to new adventuring! "A fol:Z8.V Friday. Ellen!" a helper of Rob's greeted us blithely through the quiet gray of this morning. "Guess We're goin' to get rain out of this-not that we need it; the springs and wells must be full by this! I kinaw the mill-stre:-im's run- ning pretty strong from the rains of late . . . Oh well." he chuckled. "we won't be complaining about the damp shortly-we'll have our caps pulled down. our collars turried up, leaving only slits to see lihrougli. Coldl Br-r-r! That's how it will be!" And we laughed at his half- nonsense and heard James chuckle as the two turned then to sharpen- ing axes in preparation for (I spell at the lumbering.

He sent a fine plate of the cu)-rants. but was disappointed when his entry re- ceived only third prize. He found out afterwards that a mistake had been made. They had been placed in the tomato class. More Protein" For Overweights. Says Dietician People who suffer from obesity tend to be more secretive about their eating habits than peo- ple of normal weight. This is the opinion of Dr. Rachel " -' ' . director of the Institute of Dietetics and Nutrition of the University of Montreal and is mem- ber of the Canadian Dietetic As- sociation. Dr. Beaudoln has been doing research work on obesity and she has found one popularly-held belief has no basis in fact. "It's not true that overweight people crave carbohydrates such as starches, sugars, candles and sweet desaertaf she says. "They eat more calories a day than people of normal weight but the propor- tion of their calories from carbo- hydrates or rat is the same as fw people with normal weight! One of the interesting findings is that 8. carbohydrate disturbance is found in obese patients who are still gaining weight. The blood sugar of these patients Is very un- stable and returns to the premeal level much faster than in people with normal weight. Says Dr. Beaudoln, "This might account for the compulsory urge to overeat which is characteristic of weight-gaining individuals." Dr. Beaudoin emphasizes the im- portance of a. high-protein diet well distributed into three meals with breakfast as important as the other two meals. "This can help the patient on a reducing diet," she says. "as it will help curb his appetite by keeping his blood gluocose more stable." Modern Eiiq Bylobuhlno Q. I have received an invitation to the wedding of a very dear male friend. However, I do not know the girl he is marrying. Would it be all right for me to send my wedding gift to him? A. Never. Wedding gifts must always be sent to the home of the bride-elect, and addressed to her. Q. Iii it necessary to repeat the name of a person to whom you have just been introduced. as. "How do you do. Mr. Johnson"? A. Yes, this is always good form. It indicates that one has paid strict heed to the introduc- tlon and is more sincerely pleased at the meeting. Q. Is it ever permissible to use the spoon for eating a pie. espec- ially when it is very juicvy? A. No matter how liquid the juice of a pie may be, it is eaten with the fork. Never finish the Juice with a spoon. The Alarm Clock The alarm olock is in. great help if it is set for the time that bread or cake is to be taken from the oven, vegetables to be put on the range. and similar things so easily forgotten. Headache A home remedy that often re- lieves the headache is to place a pinch of salt on the tongue and allow it to dissolve. In about ten minutes, take a drink of cold water.

The evening hours favor cultural and creative interests. For the Birthday If tomorrow is your birthday. the year ahead augurs well for plans involving both your fl ' 1 security and professional advance- ment. It would be advisable to de- for making important decisions concerning money or property, however, until early 1954. In the meantime, clear up unfinished tasks and settle all outstanding matters so that you will be able to concen- traite fully on the new opportuni- ties-and responsibilities - which will be offered within the next three months. At the moment, you may be ex- periencing a sense of confinement after months of unremitting toil. If so, try to take a. short trip or, in some other way. seek surroudings where you feel you can enjoy more freedom of expression. Domestic and social matters are in excellent aspect now and should so continue until well into 1954. Romance will be of secondary importance in your life for several months to come.
