They must receive assurance that once puberty is well established. the acne should gradually disappear. with perhaps a little help from certain drugs. In former articles I have men- tioned various methods. of treat- ment by medicines and diet, and reassurance as to the final out- come of' acne. In The Journal of the American Medical Association. Dr. Helen Dexter (University of cxnctm-mm emphasizes that for routine office treatment the es- sential matters on which to ques- tion and advise patients with acne are aggravating factors such as dietary. cosmetic. and postural habits (slouchy carriage of chest and shoulders. walking or sitting): emotional tension; use of certain drugs and occupational exposure to oil and gre5se. Dr. Dexter. in treatment of 100 I clinic patients. used the followinr: treatment and states that this same method could be used in the physician's office. As to diet. her only suggestions were to cut down on chocolate, cola drinks and ex- cessive eating of nuts and heavily fried kinds. Since many patients did not wash the skin fkequently or enough, more thorough washing of the parts afflicted with acne was advised together with instruc- tions to avoid greasy cosmetich. Emotional factors were care- fully consid-red and efforts made to relieve sources of tension. Five patients referred to psychiatrists showed rapid recovery under psy- chiatric treatment. Use of an elec- tric razor was advised as it is less irritating. Patients were in- structed to apply 305-9 W affected parts twice in succession night and morning. leaving on for 30 to 60 seconds and finally rins- ing skin with hot water. The lsthering removed wastes (sebum) from oil glands and the cold water application prevented rapid form- ation of more sebum before a special application was used. All patients were benefited.

Paquin. Yiguct. Carmen and Desses. For instance. any typist or shop- girl might go to wcrk in a multi- colored printed cotton dress hav- ing slim skirt. fly-panel front, neat. shirt collar and shzrt cap- sleeves with diagonal buttoning accentuatlng a raglan shoulder- line. The buttons, completerly busin- ess-llke, hide a well-disguised bal-ro that can he remcved. leav- ing a collared halter neck and back bare to the waist. Designed by Desses at a cost of 50 guineas (sl5'l.50). this dress will be sold on Britain's home market this summer fcr E6 16s (id. (820.45). Day and cocktail dresses. suits and coats. each designed individ- ually by one of the five famous French designers at an original cost of anything from 3'7 to 79 guineas. will be reproduced at a third less of the original cost. The difference in price is made possible by an affiliation between leading French designers and a British departmental-store part- nership. Under the plan original French designs. not included in the. couture fashion collections. make their debut on the racks of British stores. at prices accept- able to the average pocket. Csrefullv Copied Produced by the Couturier: Associes. these clothes are so min- utely copied even fashion press and buyers find it hard to tell copy from original-unless they set a close-un of materials and finish. At I recent fashion show, first since the start of the assoc- iation last October. designs dis- plIyed all the Paris chic-with nons cf the fantasy. The line is basically good and fundamentally plain. Interest lies in the French flair for smartly-draped scarves, neatly-placed bows. draped hand- ksrchierfs and hnart sashes. Several-cut wool business dresses in black and navy are transformed completely by addition of colored. stiff silk scarf-stoles and cheeky April ties. Speaking on the success of the new venture. Marcel Dhorme, for-muly of the Chambre Syndi- csls Do In Haute Couture. and one of the moving spirits in the association. said: "our aim simple. We want to bring French couture prices within the range of the average woman." Referring to the design in the recent showing. Dhorme added: "The Couturiers are tsrtlsts but at. the same time business men.

Have never oeen mar- ried. Now I have a proposal from a widower who is twenty years older than I am. His children are all married. so they would be no problem. The only thing against him is his age. yet he is very active mentally and physically, in excellent health and could easily pass for a man I 55 or 60. As nearly as I can analyze my feelings toward him, they are a combination of respect. admiration and a desire for security, coupled with a dash of romance. I do not have to marry because I have a good job and can support myself, but I feel the need for companionship. Do you think such A marriage would be reasonably happy? t M. J. B. ANSWER: Why not? Every marriage is more or less of a gamble. but age takes no more risks when it enters the holy estate than youth does. In .. Jg the odds are in favor of age because years of living and exper- fact iencle in dealing with people have taught the mature man and woman self-control. the technique of getting along with others and not ex- pecting perfection in mere human beings that the boy and girl lack. WANT OWN HOMES I am strong for elderly people marrying when they pick their mates with reasonable prudence. Old people are very lonely if they have no husbands or wives. Living with their children does not satisfy them. no matter how kind and good their children are.to them. They want their own homes in which they can do as they please. not to feel they are! perpetual guests in another'a house. ' Because the old need companionship when they can no longer go out to seek amusement for themselves. it is a good thing for them to marry some congenial soul even after they have long passed the age of romance. As for the matter of age. a woman of 51 would be foolish to marry I man twenty years her senior if he were feeble and in del- icate heslth. unless she had a nursing. complex. But if he is healthy and vigorous he should be going strong into his eIghties.,and that would give them I span of happiness together worth having. DEAR MISS DIX: When I was a young man my father used to say to me: "Son. when you find yourself getting especially interest- ed In a girl go around to the kitchen door to call on her; then you will see her as she really is without her company clothes or man- ner." I followed this advice even to the extent of boarding with the mother of the girl I wanted to marry and the results hove been very satisfactory. I pass along the tip to thsg youth of today. If. F. A. . ANSWER: And good advice It is. too. Many a man would be saved from bitter dlsilluslon if he had ever got a close-up before marriage of Evelina at 8 AM. instead of only having seen her It 8 P. Mu For there is a vest difference between many I girl It break- fast at home with her complexion off and a sloppy kimono on. Ind at 8 RM. when she is all prettled up and ready to go out. I have.always contended that if bridal tours could be taken be- fore marrlage instead of afterward it would save many a divorce. because both the party of the first part and the party of the second part would have a chance to find out just what good sports each was and how each would meet the ups and downs of marriage. But maybe boarding with the girl's mother is an even better way of getting a line on Evelina. Anyway. it is worth trying. DEAR DOROTHY DIX: If you were a young married woman who worked in an office and earned most of the . family support. scrlmped and saved and went without everything you needed in order to give medical attention to a sick baby, what would you do if your husband took all of your savings to buy a new car? ANSWER: I'd tell him to take the car and drive as far away in the other direction from me as he could go and never come back. A man who is irresponsible and lacking in all sense of a husband's and father's obligations is not worth bothering about. . &. lg Morning Smile - ggxsmwrri ' Good B0810! Incel.
