MILLARD COUNTY CHRONICLE, DELTA, UTAH WOMAN'S WORLD You May Be Beautiful, Even Though You Are Busy Flattering Coiffure By Ertta Haley VES, the weeks have been very busy, getting ready for the holi-days, and going to all the functions to which you've been invited. But, have you thought of yourself and given time and attention to being beautiful? No one admires the woman who allows herself to look careworn and overworked, even when her schedule is truly rushed. A woman owes it to herself as well as those about her to look lovely. There's no reason why the busiest of women cannot take a little time out for beauty. It's not only a morale builder for herself, but to everyone who meets her. With beauty made . so easily possible, take a few moments now to insure loveliness. Check over your hair, your make-- , up, your hands and nails, and be F - f t $ t A far. f VV H I ' " this is taken care of right in the permanent itself. You will not have to set the hair after the permanent, and that, too, will save time. Those with e hair, or hair that's been bleached, dyed or tinted will choose a very gentle waving lotion that coaxes soft curl into the hair without streaking it or making it frizzy. Normal hair will take a regular lotion, while those with difficult-to-wav- e hair will want a super lotion that gives a springy, lustrous wave to resist-ant tresses. You can start the permanent some morning after you've fed the family breakfast. Leave the beds and dishes, as you'll have plenty of time for that. Shampoo the hair and wind the hair into curlers with the waving lotion. Once the curls have been wound, you'll have a half hour to make beds and do those dishes. When the time's up, rinse the d curls. That will take 30 seconds. You can slip a pretty hair net on and do your other chores. In about six hours, or just before supper time, your curls should be dry. Just remove the curlers, brush out the hair and arrange in your favorite hair style. Treat Yourself To Good Make-U-p Have you let yourself get into a rut with make-up- Many women do. Skin colors change and so do hair colors. If you've been using the same shades for years, they may now be all wrong for you. Or, it's possible that newer, more sub-tle shades have been invented which will do more for you. Get some advice, If you need it, the next time you replenish your supply. Then, too, if you get some-thing really new, you may use more care in application, and this will pay dividends, too. You'll do well to protect your hair from any make-u- p which may wilt it by wrapping a small towel around the head before the make-up session. The use of a base for your particular type of skin will eliminate the necessity of make-u- p several times during the day. In making up the lips, remember that this year's trend is toward the natural lip curve. The more curve you have, the prettier will be your mouth. If you do have to amplify what nature has given you, start the brush at the center of the up-per lip and extend color beyond, but along your natural lip line. Choose Colors to Point Up Your Natural Beauty If you're a brunette, with brown eyes, you'll find that brown in-stead of black will do more for you in the way of eye make-up- . Those bright red lipsticks are also for brunettes, especially for olive skins. Brownettes, especially those with medium or sallow skins should look for make-u- p with a rosy cast. This will give them more color than any other. Redheads can depend up-on the beige foundations to hide any possible freckles that may appear on their fair skins. Are you silvery-haired- ? --Play up your eyes as well as your hair. If you're the gray, use luminous gray; if blue-gra- you'll depend on blue, and if you're violet, you'll want more of a mauve cast. critical. Could you stand a bit of improvement in any of these de-partments? Yes, especially if you've beer, busy, you should remedy the situation promptly, for it will real-ly make no dent in your 'time al-lotment for the necessary chores. delude Hand Care In Daily Tasks Homemaking doesn't need to leave its mark on your hands. Despite the rigors of winter, baby-tendin-housecleaning and laundry, you can pamper your hands. It pays big dividends not only in hand-some hands, but also in personal This girl's lovely curls, easily arranged into a flattering hair-do, are made with a new type home permanent with a waving lotion that neutralizes auto-matically. The curl is strong but not harsh and is as simple to care for as naturally curly hair. hang clothes. Use some lotion, too, as a protective film against the frost. Keep hand help right at hand, and you needn't waste time hunt-ing for lotion and emery boards if you have some at the important points of activity like the kitchen, bathroom and dressing table. You can file and massage lotion into hands during the few minutes you're waiting for something to finish cooking. Handle the hard and grimy jobs with a bit of hand insurance. You can wear gloves for big cleaning. For grimy work, scrape the nails across a bar of moist soap; the grime washes away with the suds. For painting sessions you can use baby oil on the hands to foil paint drops. Hurried rinsing and drying can damage the hands and cause dry-ness. Keep a soft absorbent towel in sink, bathroom and laundry to use after thorough rinsing. Speed Hair Beauty With a Permanent Any excuse you've had for let-ting your hair go on the grounds that you have too much to do has Treat yourself to loveliness . . . comfort, thus enabling you to do more. Don't work your hands overtime. You can equip the home with a few hand-savin- g aids such as dish-mo- p and rubber gloves for water work, a ball-ti- p pencil for dialing the grocer, a pair of tongs for get-ting hot potatoes out of the oven or steamy items out of sterilizer or laundry tub. Take a tip from the baby. His skin stays soft, pink and pretty be-cause of daily care. After you ap-ply baby's lotion after bathing or changing diapers, rub the excess lotion on your hands. Daily use helps keep your own hands smooth and soft. It's a beauty bonus that doesn't take an extra minute. Weather-proo- f your fingers with mittens and lotions against frost on shopping trips. A bit of protec-tion before you expose the hands to the rigors of cold keeps them pli-able. Give the hands a bit of extra care on wash days and cleaning days. You can pop clothes pins In the oven for a few seconds to warm them before you take them out to with carefully applied make-up- . now been outdated by a new type of home permanent that promises real hair beauty. I No neutralizing is necessary as It is that time of the year when people look to the calendar on the wall and remark, "Another year gone." True enough, the last leaflet of the year 1951 will soon be taken from the wall, yet each of us have gained much more than we have lost, during the time it was with us. Looking back over the span of a dozen months we can all see little patterns of sorrow and happiness perhaps much more of one than the other. And yet, somehow, they don't seem to impress us as much as they did in their brief moment of exis-tence. They seem now but separate pieces of a pattern that make up a one complete picture. If we look closely we may see that this picture is simply a reflection of all our past experiences. Yes, 1951 is almost gone. But it does not disappear from us com-pletely. In living through the year, day by day, we have known experi-ences that have molded and shaped us into the person that we are to- - day; looking forward to a new year and new experiences. 'SHOPPER'S CORNER By DOROTHY BARCLAY SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF K LL those Christmas bills paid? And you still have that gift money labeled "buy something for yourself"? Bachelor Uncle John never did know what to pick out for you and the children, did he? So didn't he always give you a generous check for "something for yourself"? Didn't he always tuck a silver piece in " each of t h e chil-- " dren's stockings? When Christmas is all o v e r and STKkZi Paid for don't you FEATURE look back and say' "There is a Santa Claus and his name is Uncle John!". And what are those "some-things" you've always wanted, and never had the nerve to buy for yourself? Nylons? Stockings? Blouses? Even dresses? You'll find buys in all those somethings in the New Year sales and New Year is not just a day, but a sea-son! A corduroy skirt or jumper to go with those Christmas blouses? A velveteen party dress for the Country Club? You'll never find a better time to buy 'em than in the y clearance sales. That miraculous new material, Orion, that stays fresh and crush-les- s through the most active day? You'll find wonderful buys in Or-ion dresses at your store. This marvelous stuff has no appeal to moths. It's as warm as wool, and twice as lasting and 100 PER CENT BUY Don't be fooled by that "100 per cent wool" ticket. But question what kind of wool. If it's "100 per cent virgin wool" in quotes you're safe, and you're getting something for your money. Re-member, there are wools and wools, and plain "100 per cent wool" may cover reprocessed yarn from unused woven or felted ma-terials or even a poor grade of new wool. So, be guided by the label, and the interpretation of that label by your clothing clerk and you'll be warm and happy all winter long. SN0WSUITS As for the children they're go-ing to be living in snow-suit- s for some time to come, and you couldn't do better with that Christ-mas money than to invest it in nylon snow suits. The wool ones can be handed down, yes, but why not one of the new nylons? Warm? As toast, because the nylon nap-ped fabric inside the outer cloth holds layers of warm air. Nylon is t, too, and lightweight no more of that dragged-ou- t windblown feeling which sends him whimpering in from play. It's water-repellen- t, too, simply sheds snow and rain, so little Johnnie never gets chilled. As for getting dirty, as children will do when they have fun at play who cares, when nylon is so easily laundered? Sure,-- , you can use hot water for washing, but when you get to ironing, if you have to, avoid too much heat. That's the word from clothing au-thorities. Before you' wash any nylon, examine the seam edges for fraying. If thread pulls out easily, wash by hand, if not, it's perfectly safe in the washing ma-chine.

It is said that Queen Elizabeth supplied herself with jewels and wardrobes almost entirely from these gifts. English nobility followed the cus-tom of sending to the king a purse with gold in it until the 17th century. Under the Tudors and the Stuarts it became proper for all classes to give presents to friends with the wish that the New Year would be filled with prosperity. Ladies received gifts of pins or gloves, both then quite expensive, and it was from this custom that the term "pin money" originated. KATHLEEN NORRIS Home Is Base of Civilization that is worrying Mother and Da about you. That with the wrong friends, drinks, cars, parties, night clubs, you can throw away in your teens what all your later years can't replace, and that they know it and you don't. A reckless love-affa- ir now, a hasty, silly marriage, isn't just a matter of making some boy promise he'll never tell any-one, or rushing into a young di-vorce. No, it's doing something to you, body and spirit,, that has a way of recalling itself all your life long. But it's on you, the wife and mother, that the real burden of this family year falls. Begin by be-ing always cheerful, always con-fident. On the outside, anyway. Puzzle them all into wondering what delightful thing has happened to Mother. Why, she's always smiling. She acts as if she had some awfully pleasant secret deep in her heart. She walked to the door with Daddy, and brushed something off his coat she hasn't done that for ever so long! And she said, "Take care of yoursell now, we value you," and did you see Dad come back up the steps and kiss her again? Let Maureen have a few friends in for pencil games and cookiea Saturday nights. WINETEEN FIFTY-TW- ought to be America's family year. Inasmuch as the whole world is in an uproar, and half of its occu-pants suffering from one disaster or another, this would be a good time to pull ourselves together domestically, and make every hour count in developing new securities and new happiness right in the family circle. For no changes in wars, politics, treaties, loans, international agree-ments can possibly be as important as just that what you and I do in our homes. The very base of civili-zation is set in these eight-an- d nine-roo-homes of ours, these five and flats. That's where the great reformation of the world is going to start. And it is only when we make home perfect that the change will begin. Ten changed family groups in your town would make a dent in world misery; a hundred in your state would save thousands of divorces and despairs, and if one million women began today to make 1952 the happiest year their own loved ones ever had known the whole of the tired old world would know it. Start with New Year So start with this New Year, and use just the materials you have at hand, and see where you get. Start with love, of course. Love fulfills the law. If you are the man of the house scatter a little affec-tion about. Amaze your children into the whispered comment: . . family year , . "What's happened to Dad! He's awfully nice this morning." Talk confidence and safety to the children. What you and their mother say is making little records on their minds and souls, scratches of fear and dislike and discourage-ment that won't ever be effaced. Change all that by telling them that nothing bad can happen as long as they love each other. Your g wife may faint away at this sudden change in your atti-tude, but you'll have to risk that. Remind them that if you have less money someday well, you'll move to that battered old farm Joe Doakes has been trying to sell you, and Mommy and Maureen can make doughnuts for the mar-ket, and Jim and Bob here can raise cocker pups. Cockers sell well, these days. You'll Be Surprised You may be surprised and some-what daunted to discover that of all things that is exactly what your supposedly pampered children would like. If you happen to be the young daughter of the house, reading this, then contribute your own sen-sational reforms to the general movement. Suddenly grow up. Grow up to realize that it is love, and not just fussiness and bossiness, I "The Old Order & A Changeth" Modern times have changed and none for the better our manner of celebrating the New Year. It was once a popular custom to spend the last three hours of the year singing hymns and giving thanks for blessings received. This watchnight, while it might have been unpleasant for the younger generation, was an excellent prepa-ration for whatever lay in the year ahead. It was somewhat grounded in tradition, as was the old custom of graciously paying and receiving calls. The downfall of this manner of re-ceiving the New Year was started soon after the Civil War, when the prodigious growth of the larger American cities caused them to be-gin to lose the home-spu- n aroma and take on the faster, more, ex-citing tempo of city life. As time wore on, it became more and more the custom to make the New Year's eve a time for indulging 'in one more last fling before the disagreeable business of turning over a new leaf. ONCE OVER Diogenes Turns In His Lantern By H. I. Phillips TT"S too tough," said Diogenes sadly. "I'm handing in my lan-tern." "Isn't this a rather hasty deci-sion?" we asked. "Don't you think you should reconsider?" "No. I'm quitting. The search for an honest man has never been hard-er. I thought I had found one the other day, but he got away." We noticed something fuzzy on his sandals. "What is it?" we asked. "Mink," he said sadly. "It gets Into everything these days. I just dashed off a little verse about it" Here Diogenes read: "Think of me, a little mink. Wondering what people think; Lately I don't sleep a wink Knowing I may be a link Putting someone in the clink. "Sort of shows what a mink may think," he went on. "Oh, well, as I said, Tm through anyhow." "Aren't you too cynical?" we asked. "There are plenty of honest men around." "Oh yeah!" said Diogenes. "Get yourself a lantern and see how you like it. I will advise the if I would settle for something less and make a compromise I could get some-where." "Something less?" we asked. "Yes. There's the nearly hon-est mail, the almost nearly hon-est man, the possibly almost nearly honest man and the - - too - many-questio-type. You find 'em everywhere these days In all walks of life and on every level." "I suppose it really is hard to find somebody who hasn't taken bribes or accepted favors," we agreed. "Oh, I don't bother too much with them," said Diogenes. "They're the great minority. It's the bribe giv ers, the tribute payers, the fixers, connlvers, get- - boys who need attention. For every man who takes a bribe there are thousands ready to pay it, which Is the sad part." "There's at least one gravy dis-tributor, influence hunter and general contaminator in every neighborhood," we said. "You're being conservative," declared Diogenes. "The real termites in American life are the fellows always ready to use money and connections to grease their way out of some-thing. How many people do you know who wouldn't play ball with a tax agent, attend a testi-monial dinner to a slick politi-cian not noted for honesty, vote for a phony, put over a fast one, play a sure thing in a fixed horse race or basketball game?" "Oh, there must be millions," we said. "Do you say there is more dishonesty today than there ever was?" Diogenes was obviously washed up and discouraged. He needed en-couragement. "Listen," we said. "What you need is a new lantern ... I know a fellow who can get one for you with 40 per cent off and . . ." That's all we remember. Diogenes had slugged us with his old lantern and fled the scene. Shudda Haddim missed the $1,513 daily double at Providence on "Deep Down" and "Big Dance." And the night before the race he attended a party where he tried the Charleston and fell through a trap-door. He also missed "Ringmeup" which paid fifty to one at Bowie. "Just before the race I asked a guy why he never gave me anything good and he said 'call me up.' " 'Sign-Cuttin- g' Nabs Wetbacks Border Patrol Alert At U.S. --Mexico Gate pOOTPRINTS do tell tales! Their story is read daily by the men of the United States border patrol who guard the U.S. Mexican line from the Pacific at San Ysidro, California, to the mouth of the Rio Grande at Port Isabel, Texas. This vast stretch of blazing des-ert, rugged mountains, and deso-late shores of the murkey Rio Grande is the backdrop for the "wetback" field-work- problem now giving both republics diplo-matic headaches. Along this bound-ary beat of the border patrol is some of the wildest and most iso-lated country on this continent. Yet the border patrol officers who ride over the bleak waste of sand and the rugged terrain of the Big Bend country can say just what crossed the line at night, where and when it crossed and in what direc-tion it went. By finding and interpreting marks left by anyone who has passed across the international line, the Border Patrol gains clues useful in turning back the waves of who hope to reach a smelter, mine, beet or cotton field and "get lost" before being apprehended. "Sign-cutting- " is the Border Pa-trol term for tracking, familiar to hunters, trappers, farmers, Boy Scouts and others whose activities take them off the beaten trail. Specially trained in the art of officers patrolling the border are constantly on the look-out for "sign" footprints, tire or hoof tracks, misplaced rocks, bent gass, cigarette butts or marks of branches trailed behind the "brush-tail- " or illegal crosser to obliterate his tracks. To "cut sign" means simply to cross a trail, interpret it, and follow it. Because footprints can be seen most plainly when the sun is low, an officer usually patrols then. France, Germany See New Year Same as U.S. In the countries of France and Germany, the New Year is cele-brated in much the same manner as in the United States, with the larger cities taking on a carnival air. Czechoslovakia and the countries nearby mark the New Year with visits and pompous official recep-tions. The tables in these countries are all piled high with food and feasting is in order on the eve and also on New Year's day. The ex-change of presents is also observed. The Greeks place a gold coin in a large cake baked especially for the New Year celebration. The cake is not cut until the New Year has arrived and, then, the person receiving the coin in his slice of cake is considered to have much good luclr in store fftr him in the months ahead. California Village Has Record Building Requests VISTA, Calif. Building permits for the community of Vista, popula-tion 1,000, reached an e high during October. Building permits for the month aggregated $219,854. The permits included 21 dwellings, 47 additions or altera-tions, 16 private garages, 12 barns or storage places, 2 commercial buildings, 3 repairs to commercial buildings and 5 duplexes. Village Volunteers Raise Money for Equipment SHAKOPEE, Minn. The Shak-ope- e Volunteer Fire department's campaign for funds to purchase emergency rescue equipment topped the campaign quota by $800. The drive quota was $1,500. The depart-ment will purchase a resuscitator, stretchers and first aid equipment, gas masks, smoke extractors and a boat and trailer with the funds. The final total of the drive was $2,339.00. Navigators Gave Philippine Ulands Two Different Names When the Portugese first reached the Philippines, they called them the Islands of the Orient because they had reached them by sailing eastward, down and around the tip of Africa. Later, the Spaniards ar-rived, and having sailed in the op-posite direction and around the low-er end of South America, they called the Philippines the Islands of the West, demonstrating the confusion lack of knowledge could cause. |
