Q, What is the proper length of time that I. hostess should wait for a belated dinner guest?

Q. When does a girl correctly wear her engagement ring for the first time?

A. The engzi-gement ring is worn for the first time "in public" on the day of the announce- tncni.

BLOOD PRESSURE CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE DAY

It is only natural for men and women to be interested in their blood pressure. as they know that high blood pressure is present with heart strokes it-oronary throm- bosis) and with brain strokes tapoplexyl. However. they should not ask their physician to take their blood pressure every time they consult him.

The physician. knowing that the patient is greatly interested in and worried about blood pressure, and knowing that the blood pres- sure changes, going up and down several times a day, may test it when it is up. Being honest. the doctors must tell the patient the truth. and he goes away upset. if the physician refuses to test the blood pi'csslli'c. the patient thinks it must be high and worries about it.

Just as the tcinpcrature may vary tun dcgrces or so during the 24 hours. being about 97 in the morning before brcalcfast and pos- sibly 99 at 4 P. M. or 8 P. M.. so does the blood pressure. It is low- est in the morning and highest after the evenir:-I nicnl.

current Fashion: in London, Paris Recall New look

LONDON. Sept. 28 -(CP) - Those who look carefully at the latest fashion trends in London and Paris suspect that steallhlly. almost imperceptibly, the 'lNew Look" is on the way back.

it may not be the voluminous. padded silhouette with its micro- scopic waist that Christian Dior released on an suspecting pub- llc some four years ago, but it has the same characteristics. The waist is neat - almost too mow hips are curvaceous and an all- round pleated skirt gives a swing- ing grace that is pleasantly fem- lnlne.

There are some differences. of course. Jackets are longer. skirts are shorter and neat. pressed pleating prevents the bulklness of the first new look styles. The pre- sent silhouette is slim. utilitarian

and acceptable. but could still be the way back to 1947 fashion. Greater fullness. for example.

would be easily excused if wool prices keep on falling.

Not all skirts are pleated. Many are plain flares of the type remin- iscent of Britain's first modified acceptance of the post-wnr Dior- look. One such is a suit of heavy black rep. a textile fabric. by a British firm (Spectator Sports). With plain flared skirt it has tiny- waisted. double-breasted jacket, Persian lamb collar and Dolinan sleeve. The jacket fastens from

(tightening) the blood vessels. Be-: cause excitement raises the pres- sure temporarily in this way, it is not called organic high blood blood prcssurr and mar be con-i sidcred harmless. but the truth of: the matter is that ccntniuous emo- tional excitement keeps the muscle (elastic) tissues in the blood ves- sels always "on the stretch" and. like el.-istlc tissue anywhere. it gradually loses its stretching ahll- ity and finally will not move the blood along in the blood vessels to supply distant parts of the body.

In his book "The Civilized Dis- eases." Dr. Boris Sokoloif mentions a patient worried about his high blood pressure. He was shown that when amered or afraid. his pres- sure went up to 170 mm and then as suddenly went down to 110 mm. The patient stopped worrying.

For peace of mind, you should have your physician test your blood pressure once or twice I year. That is often enough.

Pleated Number

An all-round pleated number by the same firm is in Burgundy-and- black dogstooih check with neat- waisled jacket also buituning from' hem to collar.

In London full skirts are still in the minority and those on view are conservative in style. Paris, however. shows a more definite trend to fullness. without com- pletely deserling the slim silhou- ette popular these last two win- ters.

A new "long line" for the noi-so-

tail is achieved by a long slim skirt coupled with it hip-length box jacket having a net. high waistline set under the armholes

and emnhasized by cuffing.

A notable fullness is the choice of Jacques Fath. It may sound crazy to wear a crinoline petticoat under a heavy wool suit but Falh uses a erinoline mesh to support the unpressed fullness of wide, flared sltlrts. Pale wool suits with deep armholes introducing a. new sleeve-cut set diamond-wise across the hack shoulderline have tiny waists and winged peplums to sup- port the bouncing flurry of the crinoline akirt. A pointed bow. us- ually of a. stiff fur. under a deep fold collar continues the winged theme. ,

Jean dresses favors a lesser full- ness in "Poised Bird." a suit that places the emphasis on a rounded bust and swept-back skirt fulbiess. The swinging back fullness derives an accentuated tail-effect from an undersklrt of quilted taffeta that wguld be a warm choice for cold d ys.

For Tomorrow

THE astrological forecast is highly significant and powerful. indicating extreme nervous activ- ity and abrupt. restless. or irri- table responses to action. This dubious situation makes it im- perative to keep a "tight rein" on every emotion while making de- cisions, whether personal or pro- fessional. for the adverse lspecta increase l mper. self-will, and drastic conflicts that lead up ll "hlind alley," forcing amazing about-face change: in order to establish a more creative direc- tion.

For the Birthday

Those whose birthday it ll may find a frustrating year ahead. Mental concepts will undergo sud- den changes, as the urge for the bizarre, unique. or illicit is strong. Consider carefully all deoire for radlcal changes in Iuociltel or environment. in order to avoid the shattered tin or vocational upsets that would only be regret- d

to .

Husband Comes First

His Health More Important ' Than Wife's Mother's Whirn

DEAR. MISS DIX: During World War II. my husband incurred a respiratory trouble that makes living in the north difficult for him. Following doctor's advice. he moved to Florida where he has a good job and is in much better hctilth. I remained up north with my widowed mother. She refuses to leave all her friends here and go south with me. und doesn't want me to go. either. She is very angry

” s -- T ' . with my brother for saying I should be where my husband can earn ll living to the best advantage. I can't hear to leave my friends. and espeelnlly my mother. My husband is a fine man and mother tlilnks he could make a go of it here if he really cared for me. What is your solution to this difficult problem?

Ii -xx

ANSWER: The problem in itself is not difficult . ,, -it's just that you and your mother are making it so. Your place is with your husband in common sense he should be where conditions are best for his health; ergo: you should be In Florida. Your mother should he sensible enough to go along with you: in fact, I should think she'd welcome a change of scenery and environment. Most women her age are complaining of boredom!

LEAVE HER

If your mother insists on staying in your home city, your t-ourse is clearly to leave her there and join your husband. His is the greater need of you. his wt-lfnre your greater ohligiiiion.

Young people nro very ndnpttthle and make friends ensily. You'll have no' trouble making a pleasant. new life for yourself and your husband. The fact that you're moving to nnolhcr port of the country does not necessitate hreaking all ties with your old friends; our modern menns of communication and transportation will keep you together. .Perh:ips in a few years your husband's health will improve to the point where he cnn work up north again. Your mother's sug- gestion that -he should return to the harsher climate even ngninst doctors orders is nothing but extreme selfishness and I must advise you to ignore it.

DEAR MISS DIX: For fifteen years I have heen going with a married man with whom I tim deeply in love. His wife will not give him his freedom. I am 41 and feel I can't go on waiting for her to change her mind. I have opportunities to go out with single men. Should I accept them or continue waiting?

Are we going at the potatoes? And do we hope that in the face of ageing muscles perhaps there will not be enough baskets for the family? But we know our requirements of these have al- ready been assembled against the first day of it.

There is no need to waste a sec- ond of time over such matters at Alderlea. In all probability suc- cessors are already here. having been brought in long ago - as a

Woman's lloport Shows Teamwork Touching Tlmno

MONTRIIAL. Sept. 28 - (OP)- llrnergenca of a new concept in education. relating school studies to the childfouvery-day life. was noted in I report today to the Na- tional Council of Women. . The report was prepared by Mrs. 1..G. Ferguson of Westville. N. 3., chairman of the Council's educa- tion committee.

It told of": new course in the British Columbia school curricu- lum. aimed at imparting to the pupil an understanding of himself. his needs and behavior. combined with the ability to act intelligently, to understand others and live har- moniously in the family and com- munlty.

Mrs. Ferguson said the mo t im- portant factor in education is the teacher. In this connection. apt- itude tests for students entering normal colleges in Saskatchewan resulted in 65 students being drop- per! for teacher training last year. Mrs. Ferguson suggested that local chairmen of education take steps to have such tests given in their Provinces, where they are not already in effect.
