Unhctppiness The Cause Of Weight Gain

During an emotional upheaval, there is a natural tendency to turn to food as a means of assuaging onc's dissatlsfnctions. Food is comforting and close at hand. overeating for even a short pe- riod elevates the appetite and en-. larges the food capacity. If the pe- rind of stress is prolonged. the habit of overeating becomes diffi- cult to break. Many an overweight can trace the start of the pyramid- ing , d to an unhappy period in her life.

This real life story shows how a resolute woman came face to face with the issue and dealt with it courageously and intelligently. THREE PROBLEMS

"Your column aimed at helping overweight: achieve an adult at- titude toward food made me really think. A physical check-up revealed that I had three physical conditions to comb i -'i of which were aggravated by the fact that I had been stuffing myself.

"In retrospect. I can see that my gain in weight started nine years ago during a most difficult period in my life. It is appalling but I have gained a rise a year since then. This burden of fat has added up to loss of health and not a fe wlntangibles. And so I rea-

soned this wsy-I accept no sub- stitutes for brands that experience has proved are reliable and effi- cacious-then why should I accept an excess of food as a substitute for normal life?

"Now I am really a reformed character. . .nnd well on my way to normal weight. Here are a few ideas that have helped me, and perhaps would help other dieters. AN ILLUBION

"Chew each mouthful thor- oughly. Somehow this gives the illusion of getting more to eat and prolongs the taste.

"Put up photographs of you in your slimmer and more attractive days in places where you will be sure to see them often.

"I have found the caramel- flavored vitamin and mineral ap- petite curbers work best for me eaten as dessert. the part of the meal I miss most. This with a hot beverage helps to put a period to the meal.

"Since I have put on too much weight to take strenuous exercise: I find the Niagara therapy units a great help. This passive type of exercise is tonlg and keeps me feeling chipper."

The Headaches

Of Launching Their Debutcmt

ly SYLVIA BACK Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON (CPI -- Who worries most about debutante daughters- mothers or fathers.

Now that the deb season has begun. several hundred wealthy fathers will be wondering what it is going to cost them to launch their daughters in society. The average bill runs to more than 81.000-no amal item in these deys of heavy xation.

Mothers get their share of grey hair.;. too. They cope with equipp- ing their daughters with the right sort of wardrobe. arranging smart cocktail parties. coming-out bell. and. most im t of a seeing that daughter is introduced to all the right people.

LAS1'd THREE MONTH!

The debt season lasts about three months starting- with an in- vitation to a presentation party at Buckingham Palace and ending under late summer skies at the Ascot races.

As much as Elil.ooI) has been spent on giving one wealthy deb the best of things. It has been done on as little as 1:500. It de- pends how nimble Inother nnd daughter are at sewing, fixing their own hairdos and whether they glaze their asrtlee at home or in West End hotels.-

WORTH IT

High as this total is. It is still considered modest by many dabn' standards. wealthier people spend much more on their daughters.

Generally speaking debs and their mothers agree that a corn- ing-out season is a pleasant but expensive way of making friends and gslnihg invaluable social ex- perience.

Says one ex-deb: "It's a once-in- alifetime gay fling before taking on a serious job. The rule is to get on with a career after onels sea son-and not get married im- medlalely."

ADVICE TO COUNCIL

Dassllng blondee-- ' brides but buyers-were even more open in their warm salutes to the tall. slim Gaston. who appeared able to go right on with his chores re- gardless of distractions.

Turning his back on the scene of ' and galety for a moment. Gaston referred to his Canadian background and spoke seriously of the newly-formed Canada Council, established to assist Canadian cul- ture. He was enthusiastic at the development ---' offered a bit of advice. -

"Canada should import teach- ers. not export students." said Gaston, son of the late Vital Mal- let. a mem" of Parliament from Montreal.

The designer noted that ex- ported students often remain per- manently away from home-"they fall in love with th ir new sur- roundings." It would far wiser to give them in Canada the op- portunity to learn their crafts. INDUSTRY NEEDS ART ' r

"If a man in Europe can de- sign a better lampshade. it is bet- ter to take him to Canada to teach his art. than to send Cana- dian students to Europe to study it." said Gaston.

It was necessary to apply art to industry. making it possible for the artist to make an adequate uving.

"As a small boy in Montreal I remember that art scholarships were given almost exclusively to students in the pure arts. sud! as music and painting." Gaston said.

"They didn't push toward in- dustry aa they should have" WENT TO PARIS

Mallet recalled with a smile that after studying architecture at McGill University be borrowed money to travel to Paris to study fashions.

Oddly enough. he has found that many fashion experts have stud- ied architecture:

"It's a question of structure- but a moving subject is more exciting."

Gaston left Paris in IMO. mov- lng to London where he opened his own salon. He came here in

"Hamburger is the king of wed- ding fnshions," said Gaston. whose French accent is a nour- ished asset of the trade. "That makes me a prince, no"
