And then find out later, ahd as soon as you can. just who that person is. Q, What is the proper length of time that I. hostess should wait for a belated dinner guest? A. Not more than N minutes.

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. Further. any z-xciteiiirnl or emo- "t i l I 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 ilonal disturbaiico can send the blood pressure up 20 points. Life insurance cxaiiiniers may have an applicant come sricral times till he gets "used to" being tested. and! so his true blood prcs.stirc- is fin- ally found. Blood pressure is not stable.

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. x" "K"K” 1'7-"x' How Can I I ! ! By Anna Ashley g if -l .-'1 i i Q.

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.

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 it 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!

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.

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. lllghor Pay Urged The report said still too many top-ranking teachers "are being lured away by better salaries in other fields." Council members were urged to support efforts of teacher groups "to obtain higher salary -levels. Reports from local committees agreed that the principle of equal pay for men and women teachers doing the same work is becoming more general in primary grades. but noted a difference of 8100 to 3300 continues in secondary grad- es. As pensions are based on salar- ies. there is still some discrimin- ation, Mra. Ferguson said. but wo- men teachers retire on full pension at the age of 60 while the retiring age for men is 65.
