With a short cut, women who've worn long locks definitely see the change which a new hair-do makes. That's good for the morale of a_woman who is tired of look- ing at her familiar self. For the woman with curly hair. the short cut involves no problem of care. But —- and here are the cons— women with naturally curly hair don't have many hair problems anyway. If you have hair which requires a permanent, remember that a short cut means that you'll be cutting off your permanent often. How often depends on how fast your hair grows. Remember, too, that a short cut will rob you of variety. There isn't much you can do with it— but wear it short. And you may have to toss out those long-haired hats. They're not so apt to look well with cropped hair. There's one more thing to keep in mind before you cut. Once it's done, there's no putting it back. You'll have to wait until the hair grows back and resort in the meantime. if you're really tiri- happy, to phony hair pieces. HOLLYWOOD STARS G0 COSMOPOLITAN Foreign stars seem to be lend- ing a cosmopolitan air to Holly- wood's social life. At a recent party Florence Marlyg imported front France, met 16-year-old Frances Kato, newly arrived Ja- panese-Canadian beauty. Miss Marly graciously addressed Miss Kaio in Japanese. But Frances had to explain that slic grew tip in Canada, never learning the language of the Samurai. Nliss Marly drifted on, greeting other guests in Spanish, French, Port- uguese and German. Once she was overheard to say: “In Prague I read Aleksis Kivis ‘Seven Broth- ers‘ in Czech. It's a wonderful book. Does anyone know if I can get it in English?" Miss Marly may have come from France. but she's Czech by birth. She made many films in Germany and France, and she picked up Span- ish and Portuguese in South Am- erica, where her husband, Pierre Chenal, produces films and plays, chiefly in Buenos Aires.

We found cause to ‘chuckle here and there along the lines of the interesting mis- sive, which as Jeanie said was “only characteristic of that age" altogether gay and whimsical and bright. No cloud can appear on these youthful horizons at least none that cannot be dispersed in the optimism of those years. One was aware that life is a glorious adventure to her, taken up at present not only with the vicis- situdes of furthering her educa- tion but also with the many in- cidentals that fall to a Co-ed. "Judy," she wrote, “was very kind. She has a dear little boy, a nice husband, and a sweet new little place, and we remained not only to tea but to supper as well;" . U a Continuing one learned of a certain, but passing despair, over a contrary mood, displayed by a youthful admirer “really over nothing" witli the coiiiiiicnt “it's jliSt this way, Aunt Ellen, l've come to the conclusion that try as l like, I don't think I shall ever gct to Lindersiand the sterner sex, not if I should live to be a hun- dred!"

With their away all day in the woods, ‘or perhaps fishing eels at. some dis- tance from their homefi- "ml-her used frequently to be left alone with the children for two or three days together. The forests were full of bears and other wild animals that prey- ed on the live stock and often sent Junior screaming into his mother's arms. And there were prowling Indians, some of them none too friendly, especially when they knew the head of the house was absent, or when under the influence of liquor. These were but a few of the dangers that beset the lonely housewife as she went about her daily tasks. v Once when Mrs. HERB’ 5111111‘ of Belfast was alonc with her two small children, a party of fuui- drunken Indians came to licr home and threatened to kill her if she did‘not hustle them a meal. Trembling with fear, the woman set about the task, when her hus- band suddenly put iii an appear- ance, and with loaded musket scared the red men away. O O U O another occasion one of the Indians returned to find Mrs. Smith in the attic with the child- ren. Henry Smith had gone fish- ing with a couple of friends and his wife knew he would not be home that night. The Indian loo, apparently knew that Smith would not be home. for he started a series of "whoops" that nearly frightened the little ones out of their skin. The quick- witted woman pulled up the lad- der and then closed the trap leading to the attic. For a time the red man amus- ed himself by searching every nook and corner of the humble shack. Then he ate a hearty meal, after which he secured a ladder from the near-by barn, ascended it to the little attic window, and started to raise the sash. Mrs. Smith set the screaming baby in a safe corner and, hatchet in hand, crept. to the window, de- termined to give a good account of herself, come what might. O O I / She waited lill the Indian had stuck his head through the open- ing; then, raising the hatchet higii above her head, she brought the weapon down with all the strength she could muster, full on the dome of her enemy. The Indian dropped to the ground like a ball of lead. lay there for fully fifteen minutes before he was able to get to his feet and disappear into the forest. It took plenty of guts to do what Mrs. Smith did, but iii this way the brave woman saved iter- self and her small childrui from God knows what fate. \v\»\/\/\ 6.: i I Y) j The Stars Say - - 3% i By Genevieve lh-niblo rl ifl -'~ For Saturday, February 4 A SURPRISING turn of events, spelling progress, advancement, 1n- crease of funds and cf personal prestige are in the auguries for this clay.

There are. of course, exceptions Some people count a cup of coffee as breakfast or go without this meal altogether. A great. many have mid-iieal snacks to supplement poor meals or because the perla‘ brtween meal hours is too lorg. A1 hough most Canadians have enouh to eat tlicy are iiot iir-ccssarily well fed. Recent surveys of both school children and family groups slioiv there is considerable nial utrltion in different sections of Canada. Wartime surveys oi industries gave a similar picture. Wliolc grain cereals, milk and vegetables are the foods most often neglected. People may think they are ade- qualcly fed because they are not. actually hiingri. Possibly they have lll"\'(‘l‘ known the feeling of optimum health and so do iohap- preciate what they are tnissing. Proper food ls essential to good health and although the results obtained by lm-proting she's eat- ing habits are not dramatic, they are undoubtedly worthwhile. In planning for healthful eating llllnk first of the day as a whole. Here is a guide to follow: These foods are good to eat. Eat them every day for health. ilave at least three meals a day. Milk —— Children (up to about l2 years): at least one pint. Adolescents: at least 1 1-2 pints. Adults: at least 1-2 pint. Fruit — One serving of citrus fruit or tomatoes Ol their juices; and one serving of other fruit. Vegetables — At least one ser- vlng of potatoes; and at least two servings of other vegetables, pre- ferably leafy. green or yelloiv and frequently raw. Cereals and Bread - One ser- ving of whole grain cereal and at least four slices of bread (with but- ter or fortified margarine). Meat and Fish - One serving of meat, fish. poultry, or meat alter- nates such as dried bears, eggs ruitl cheese. ' Use Liver frequently. In addition, Ergs and Cheese at least three times a track enrh. Vitamin D — At lra't 400 Inter- national Units daily for all grow- ing persons and expectant and nursing mothers. ~ Iodized Salt is recommended. Approved bv the Cafadian Coun- eil on Nutrition, I949 In addition to these essential foods you can eat any extras you may wish to satisfy your appetre and provide adequate calorie: your work and fit". It is almost impossible to include all these fOOds in less than zhrce meals. Why is it. important to include the five food groups listed above? Each group s pplles certain ele- merits which are required for pro- pel’ 50d)’ functioning. Without them the body cannot. perform its proper function and we suffer in that we cannot do our best at. work and play. There is constant wear and tear on body tissue and if the right. foods lre not eaten, body growth and repair are retarded. Certain foods are necessary for re- gulating body proceses.
