Attractive Lady

Misses Her Canadian Friends

By Muriel Narnway Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON, (GP) - Lady Rose Alexander is a "little bit" lone- some for Canada. and'she'd like to go back. but it won't be for A while.

The daughter of Canada's former governor-general has promised her lamily she will remain in Britain another 18 months. Then she'll de- :ide whether her future lies here or in Canada.

The attractive. 21-year-old Lady Rose has nothing against Britain. ltls just that she spent seven im- portant years in Canada. Now that she's back in London she finds many of her old friends have grown up, moved away or found new in- terests.

Friends In Canada

"All my friends are in Canada." lhe said. "Now I have to start all ever again.''

Lady Rose's dark-haired mother, Countess Alexander explained: "It Ill takes time. My husband and I are so busy it means Rose spends much time alone."

Meanwhile. Lady Rose has taken l stenographer's job in a. civil en- gineering office off Park lane. She :ycles to work daily, much to the amusement of her soldlerly father Earl Alexander, now Britain's de- 'ence minister.

Like many Canadians who come to Britain. her first reaction was to shiver. "How I nuns the cans- dian wintor." she said, looking out at London: night lights wreathecl in fog. Embarasslng Moment

A favorite family reminiscence concerns the Coronation. Young Brian, acting as his father's page in A little Lord Fauntleroy costume of white knee-pants, white silk stockings and lace ruffles. was en route to Westminister Abbey when It woman within earshot said: "Isn't he sweet?"

Brian blushed brick-red bolted back inside the Alexander apart- ment and had to be coaxed out again. If he'd dared. the Hon. Brian would have ripped off the fancy clothes.

The Alexanders now look for- ward to a long Christmas week- end at their country home in Sur- rey. '

”There will be quite A house party," said Countess Alexander. Besides herself and Lady Rose there will be Lord Alexander. young Brian and adopted daughter. Susan. Shane, now doing his com-I pulsory army service in the Irish;

Q. How can I add more flavor to veal steaks?

A. The flavors of veal and lamb steaks are often enhanced by the addition of a slight touch of gas- lic. Heat a. little fat in a frying pan and add a. clove of garlic. cook for A minute. and then discard. The fat is then ready to use for browning the meat. Tho garlic flcwor will be very delicate,

EMOTIONAL l'AC'l.VJBJ IN SKIN DISEASE

Some weeks ago I wrote on the current Joke about physicians who. when they did not know the name or cause of an ailment. blamed it on the nerves. Tho Jokearnith stated that in such a situation the phy- sicls.n.for1nerly had blamed the condition on the teeth.

As ii. matter of fact, physicians today have beenn able to trace skin eruptions to the nerves. also many cases of asthma.

It will be of interest to laymen, particularly those with skin erup- tions, to learn that disturbance of the nerves, emotional disturbances. are so well recognized as a cause of skin eruptions that a. psychiat- rist, A specialist in psychiatry (emotional disturbances) and A dermatologist (a skin specialist) have written a book entitled "Emo- tional Factors in Skin Disease." Dr. Eric Wittkrower, Assistant Psychia- trist, MsGill University. Montreal. and Dr. Brian Russell. skin Depart- ment, London Hospital, England. are the authors.

This unusual new book combines the skill of the dermatologist and the psychiatrist in an effort to clarify the interrelationship of emotional disturbance and skin dis- E858.

Based on wide experience and il- luminated with case histories. the material presented will prove help- ful in both diagnosis and treat- ment.

Be patient and await a. more propit- ious period for putting over plans and ideas It is better to slow down a little than to rush into situations impulsively with possibly disastrous results. During -the evening hours you may find seclusion and solitude more rewarding than companion- ship or hectic social activities. Quiet indulgence in mentally re- laxing hobbies or intellectual pur- suits will help you to achieve ser- enity of mind.

No matter what the momentum of work, do take time out for leisure, relaxa- tion and the enjoyment of congen- ial companionship.

ANSWER: Don't permit your friendship to bqin under the cloud of I. fool.isti.untru-th. Your past record isn't nearly as important as your present conduct and your ideas for the future. I hope you plan to furth- e' your education in some field, either during the day or at night. Com- ing. as you do, from a. city that is ecpecially noted for its schools, you'll have no difficulty in finding one that will fit your requirements. If the young lady is as understanding as she is charming. you'll have no dif- ficulty with your admission of telling her A falsehood.
