Beauty Counsel
Dear Donna Grace:

Dear Donna Grace:
There are a few questions
I'd like to ask. They sound
foolish but I guess it must be
curiosity.
When woman crochets,
knits, embroiderS or SeWs any
fancy work, does this cause
wrinkles?
After wrinkles come on, can
they be removed?
I am only 19 and have
wrinkles and look old. I worry
so much about it can't sleep
and a friend said I was getting
wrinkled from too much hand
work. It this true?
A STEADY READER.
Dear Reader:
Close work may be trying for
you but you must change fre.
quently to rest the face muscles.
Thousands of girls and women
do fancy work with no bad ef-
fects, and if you are in good
health and there is no eye
strain, you should have no occa-
sion to wrinkle your face.
Get plenty of exercise and
fresh air. Be sure to eat nour-
ishing foods. When you are
physically tired from exercise,
you should have no trouble in
sleeping but it may be advisable
for you to consult a physician
for this. Thinking Of wrinkles
is absurd for q 19-year-old.

Resented Spending

bills. He was always reSentful
that he couldn't keep his entire

never paid a cent of rent in the
house or bought me or the chill
dren any clothes, they being do
mated by my sister. Still he al
ways felt he was doing too much.
Some years later he died,
and didn't leave us a penny in
Surance, not even enough to
pay for his funeral. He was
buried by his lodge brothers,
and there was nothing left but
debts foolish debts which I
never would have contracted,
and which are still unpaid.

Food Is
Entirely Mill

When a child is born, its
needed food is almost entirely
supplied by milk. After six
months other foods such as
meat preparations and cereals
are given. In cases where cows
milk is found to be unsuitable,
form of milk made. from soy
beans has been used. Gelatin,
too. is prescribed at times.
These foods are taken into the
child's stomach and are digested
in the intestinal tract. But
sometimes children's digestive
organs aren't working as they
should. When this happens
there is a danger that some of
the proteins in that food that
are lying there undigested may
be obsorbed directly into the,
blood-stream. These amounts s. {,
absorbed may be enough te
make the infant sensitive
against that particular food.
Tomorrow I'll tell you some
thing Of how this sensitation
takes place.
The Washington times., 1939-01-05

neither yol nor your child can
be healthy and robust or even
live without them. In fact,
children need more of them than
do adults, because their bodies
are growing. That is the reason
we always y to see that the
CUNTS diet consists of foods
that are easily absorbed and
that are relegated to these body
cells that are growing.
For Each Child
Work Out Formula
Take breast milk and cows
milk, for instance. Mothers
milk has greater food value
than has the ordinary dairy
product. Children fed on the
latter must be given more in
quantity. and that means that
q formula has to be worked out
for each child. Breast milk, for
many reasons, is the natural
food for the baby. Besides it is
sterile and contains certain
things that support the children
against disease. On the other
hand, mothers must be carefl u
of certain drugs and foods tina,
she may take.
When your child's diet fails
to contain enough protein,
growth is slow. Defences against
infection Of all kinds are weak
ened. The muscles become flabby
and soft; then a lack of rich
blood develops. In short, your
child is very sick, often fatally.
In caring for the quintuplets
we were fully aware Of all these
dangers, and so we started them
when they were three days old,
on breast milk. In order to get
an adequate supply. we had to
have it shipped daily from the
Hospital for Sick Children in
Toronto. This continued to be
their chief food until they were
over five months old, and I
know it saved us a multitude Of
troubles.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
'Distraught's' letter moved
me deeply, as I had much the
same experience in my early
married life. We had a girl of
9 and a baby 3 months old.
The people to whom we rented
a room in our house demanded
new wallpaper. AS my husband
was jobless. asked him to do
the papering, which he could
have done well, but he flatly
refused.
II put the house in order
and the baby to sleep, and
started to paper the room my
self. 1t was cold, snow was on
the ground, but we needed that
rent so desperately that 1
started in. I got lunch, too.
My husband ate and went off
again.

Has AIWoys
Been Versatile

Acting in her own plays, serv-
ing as playwright, producer,
stage manager, coach, and cos
tune designer was just a fore
runner of what he4 career was
really to be.
Presently she found herself
doing more producing than
acting, and her youthful resolve
was forgotten. You might say
it all began with the Ramshead
Players, along about 1922 or
1928. People who remember
and know what they're talking
about, declare that this amateur
theater group has never since
been equalled nor surpassed in
local little-theater history.
The Ramsheads were headed
by Miss Schreiner and Robert
Bell and the group was made up
of talented young socialites. Its
enthusiastic patrons were the
cream of Washington society.
