HI, THERE, HAG

HI, THERE, HAG
 Alma, as we called her for pub- llcation purposes, who told us the other day how financial depression compelled her to 'join one of the three letter associations" drew Q sad but true picture of the tragedy of the loss Of teeth by extraction be- cause prompt repair of cavity by the dentist was beyond her reach, Alma said "old age" contributed to her plight, being now forty-five. We could smile ct that with Alma were 1t not for the fact that she has only seven lower front teeth and any day now she must march stoically to the "chair," as she puts 1t, and have one more tooth removed, this time an upper front tooth. A woman minus an upper front tooth looks Ike hag, on old hAg, as Alma observes. Gone gltmmering the prospect of many Q job woman of pleasing personal appearance might credit ably i'll.
 read somewhere the other day that Uncle Sam is beginning to do something sensible in regard to the dlsgracefully large number of young men who have been deferred on account of defective teeth. Uncle proposes to have them treated by their dentists ct home, necessary dentllres installed, and then assign them to military or other service.
 When I say "disgracefully large number" I am not thinking about the number of young men who do or do not brush their teeth regu- larly. That Is inimaterial. I am thinking about the widespread pop- ular ignorance of the care of the teeth in this country. Brush or no brush, the only way any one can preserve his teeth Is by having reg ular periodic Inspection and treat- ment by his dentist. And in my opinion, the fundamental sound- ness. perfection and beauty of the teeth is determined by the state of nutrition - the mothers nutrition before the child Is born, the inc fant's nutrition, the nutrition in childhood, youth and early adult life.
 It is by no means financial dee precision or poverty or lack of wherewithall to pay that causes a good many individuals to limp along minus teeth. It is sheer ignorance, ignorance of the vital importance of maintaining normal mastlcation and salivary digestion.
 Like too many others, Alma seems more concerned about the loss of front tooth than she is about the loss of many back teeth. As far as the immediate effect on personal appearance is concerned perhaps loss of front tooth is unfortunate. But the more remote effect on per- sonal appearance will be much worse from the loss of one or more back teeth. That inevitably brings change in facial contour and per- mits premature sagging and adds years to the age the individual looks.
 But these effects on personal ap. pearance are far less deplorable than are the effects of loss of teeth on health. Here, too, loss of back teeth is much more harmful because it is during grinding of the food by the back teeth that salivary diges- tion occurs.

PATTERN 477

If you're continually "on the go" like so many modern women, you need a frock adapted to your active life. For you, Claire Tilden has desigred Pattern ATT, with simple, wearable lines. The bodice buttons down the front and the darts below the shoulder yokes release becoming fullness over the bust. A yoke in back gives you the action room you need while working. A square neck may be used instead of the shirtwaist collar, or you can make the collar, the three yokes, and the sleeves of contrast fabric. You'll find the gracefully flared skirt very becoming espe- cially if your hipline is larger than average. The front and back are simply cut for easy sewing. Why not make one version of this prac- tical mode for street wear in a wool with long or three-quarter sleeves, and another cotton frock with short sleeves to wear at home, accented by colorful ric-rac? Let the Claire Tilden Sewing Guide help you make both dresses quick ly and efficiently they're "de- signed for livingl"
 Pattern AIT is cut in misses and women,s sizes 12, IA, 16, IS, 20, 30, g, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42. Size 16 requires 5-8 yards 54 inch fabric.

 AUSSIE GIRLS DEMAND PAY PARITY WITH MEN

hA ANAA WAAH NAN
 That is true in most countries But it looks as though the women Of Australia have decided that they would rather have equal pay with men than any amount of praise and publicity,
 Twenty eight trade unions in that country are asking for equal pay for the sexes. And one company, the Melbourne TramWays Board, has already recognized the princi- pie of equal pay, giving women tram conductors the same wages as men.
 What Is happening in Australia may happen in other countries where women have been pushed in to mems jobs by war or the demands of national defense.
 It could happen here, if women would get wise to themselves and answer all the aren't you wonder full to be holding down a mans job" flattery that is handed them with the common sense answer, Well, if I'm doing a mans job as well as a man could do 1t, how about paying me what you would have to pay a man?"

 Hay Fever
 Happy to report my experience. Followed instructions in "Reilef for Allergy," obtained 100 per cent cure of my hay fever--at least went through the season without 8 single sneeze, for the first time in many years. Have passed 1t on to others, two of whom tell me they obtained the same complete relief.
 Answer--In the pamphlet 'Reliee for Allergy," which I am glad to send on request if you provide stamped envelope bearing your address, ex. plain how potassium complements or supplements the action of adrenalin medicinal adrenalin or the adrena- lin your own adrenal glands secrete. do not believe potassium cures anything. It does, however, bring extraordinary relief in many cases of allergy, and when 1t gives any relief 1t is harmless to use in any csc, as a Symtomatic remedy in the emergency, regardless of any treat- ment directed at the cause of the condition.

 I understand you recently told of medical treatment of high blood pressure with very large doses of vitamil A. My physician says 2 have essential Apprehension and he knows of nothing for 1t but would like to get any information. (H. T)

Apple Promotes CIottlng Oe Blood Can you tell me whether there is any medical authority for the statement that apple-pectin tends to shorten blood clottlng time in persons who bleed too freely from minor injuries2 GIT.

MATRoNs WEAR FESTIVE COIFFURES

Festive is the word for most of the other coitfures worn by matrons. The one inspired by Sir Joshua Reynolds picture of Jane, Countess of Harrington, included a braid at the crown of the head and atop that a gentle pink plume of ostrich.
 Another, after Larglllieres Mar quise dc DreuX-Breze, bad curls piled and piled on top of the head, and, there too, an apple blossom spray.
 Bangs and long locks softly over the shoulders were used for young girls styles, all extremely simple and pretty. sargents Girl in a White Dress inspired one that look ed just like the title sounds -- one with hair parted down the center, bangs curled toward the center and the rest of the locks falling on the shoulders in loose waves.
 From Derain's Jeune File came a similar coif with teh part on the right side.
 There's nothing strange about this getting together of the art gallery and the beauty salon. Both have the same stock in trade-beauty. And any woman can follow suit in her own way. Just get yourself mu- scum or exhibition catalogue, and go to work You may not succeed to perfection, but you'll be done in the same spirit of creative originality and, positively, you won't look like every other woman you meet.

FAMOUS COTS PLEASE SOCIALITES

And were the socialites pleased to wear the coifs of tahe famous beau- ties?
 Well, one of them, Mrs. Goodhue Livingston, Jr,, decided to adopt hers for real life, She'll wear it for real life. She'll wear 1t for evening straight through the season, she said.
 Modigliani's picture of Madame Heburtene inspired Mrs. Livingston's coif-a style just beautifully austere enough to give startling emphasis to the wearer's angular, slenderly love- ly patrician features. for this coif- fure the hair is drawn Up very tightly from the face, neck and sides of the head, and the tresses are are ranged in one large roll on top of the head. The roll is held in place by small pearl-studded comb.
 Helena Rubenstein, who adapted the coiffures, thought the stunt was "a wonderful opportunity she ex- claimed, Ito show women how their own unclassic beauty can be idealiz- edI"
 That phrase beauty = is getting to be a byword for ie4l glamor among New York's beauty style settlers. Tn consonance with 1t MT. Michel of the Rubinstein Salor did not hesitate to emphasize { singular feature, even a flaw, 1T adapting the historic cultures fol his society models" He just tol; 1 them his principle: DO not try tt hide a peculiarity -- just find thu type and emphasize it." ana wen ahead.

 Now the art gallery and the beau- ty business join hands with por- trait painters of several centuries to find fresh ways to do @ lady's hair. ..
 It's not the first time. But this time the resulting cultures are launched by nine prominent New York society women who may be starting another litle sally against standardization the bane of American beauty. These hair-styles are literally as individual as por- trait by Renoir or Rembrandt.
 The elite "mannequins" - coifged Q la Dembrandt, Renoir, Laurencin, Sargent, Reynolds, Ruhens, Modig- llani, Largilliere, Derain, GentileSohi and Bronzino--appeared at the opening of the current exhibit, "Wo- mans Browning Glory" at the Por- trait Painters Clearing House. The exhibition is for the benefit of the New York Committee of the Mo- thers' Health Centers.
