Show FASHION CORNER Remember when all little girls wore their hair alike? Once! it was curls if they weren't natural na-tural they were done up on rags at night. Another time it was Dutch bobs with bangs on the forehead. And the disappointment dis-appointment when a child couldn't wear any of these was awful. Now it's different and even some of New York's top hair-dressers are suggesting ideas for little girls' hairdos these days. Lura de Gez (pronounced (pro-nounced "Loora de J'ai") famous hair designer, has created cre-ated four of these. With variations varia-tions they . can make any little girl with any kind of hair look like a darling. For stubborn hair there are two pigtails high and one low in back. For a straggly hairline you can cut little bangs in front and then draw the side hairs up in pigtails, pig-tails, tied on top and bob the rest. And if your little girl is lucky enough to have little ringlets round her neck and face just take her hair and tie it up high on top of her head with a ribbon. Shun any hairdo that looks too set, the New York hairdresser advises, and keep that young head spotlessly clean and well brushed always. No one knows just how soon a cure or preventative will be found for polio or infantile paralysis but we all hope it will be soon. Polio strikes harder hard-er and oftener at children with recent tonsilectomies. Decayed teeth are another possible entry for the polio virus. For the virus vi-rus is known to reach the brain and spinal cord by way of the nerve fibers cnietry tne nerve fibers of the throat and intestines. intes-tines. (And speaking of decayed de-cayed teeth the tooth pulp has a rich nerve supply.) But most important of all is the warning that parents should not get panicky if tests indicate a child has polio. The disease cripples or kills in only a relatively small proportion of its victims. In a carefully studied epidemic in Baltimore statistics showed that 50 per cent of children had no after-effects whatsoever. 29 per cent had slight after-effects that would be corrected in time, 18 per cent were badly crippled and only three per cent died A recent magazine article states that chilling perhaps by staying in swfmming too long and fatigue, play an important im-portant part and seem to make the disease more violent in its effects. And speaking of children again, vacation days will soon be over so perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to start thinking of those school bells ringing and the pigtail brigade going off each morning. If their wardrobes ward-robes need replenishing, how about buying a simple pattern, a few yards of inexpensive cotton cot-ton and running a few seams in the cool of these summer mornings? morn-ings? A sweet little cotton print with a capelet and deep yoke, a simple little striped dress with puffed sleeves, another an-other with a diagonal front closing. It's mostly the color and fabric that make these dresses pretty. They can be ever so simple and they save Oh, so much money. |
