THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY. S. C. WOMAN'S WORLD Pastels Vie With Whitesin Bridal Finery By Ertta Haley TUCKY is the girl who is being married thir season, for more than one reason! Gowns combine all the lovely, sentimental and ro mantic trends which have been making fashion history during the last few months. Another reason is that you may have a dream dress at a price that is far, far from being a nightmare. Naturally if you intend to choose a gown using 25 yards of the finest organdie or 80 yards of nylon tulle, the price of the wedding dress will be understandably high. However, if you choose a somewhat simpler gown, there are a number of en chanting dresses from New York designers at a “something new” in cost. For under $60 there’s a particu larly heart-melting white imported organza dress designed with an off- shoulder ruffle of eyeleted cotton, snug waistline and a full skirt lengthened into a generous train. It comes with its own taffeta slip. For a little more you may have an adorably young, puff-sleeved white satin dress, high waisted and frilled with Swiss organdie below a flesh-toned yoke of nylon tulle. It, too, has a wide train. Choose “Something Blue” In Wedding Gown This year’s bride may want to choose as “something blue” her own gown. Pearly white satin has Bridal Finery Tbit season’s bride . lost none of its appeal for brides, but for those who prefer a pastel, the girl may choose an ice blue or a blush pink, both of which are very attractive. Both of these colors have been recently introduced in a lightweight but highly lustrous summer satin. Lace combined with satin, all cotton lace in a Chantilly- like pattern, marquisette and or gandie are other fabrics of import ance throughout New York collec tions. Crisp, rather than frothy or ethe real is a dress of snowy pique, the gathered skirt fully trained and the bodice sleeved to points over the wrist. Framing the wide-spreading V-neckline is a deep bertha-like collar echoing the decor on the skirt. Interest Shown In Sleeves, Yokes Many designers sponsor cap and puffed sleeves in their bridal fash ions. In most instances, however, matching mitts or gauntlets go along, leaving little of the arm bare. An exception to this is the beautiful hoop-skirted white satin dress with bell-puffed sleeves, meant to be worn with short, white gloves. Here’s a stunning capelet- sleeved princesse white satin bridal dress from the spring and summer collection of a New York designer. The bodice is yoked with a marquisette and richly embroidered with seed pearls and iridescent paii- ettes, and buttons in back. Sat in gauntlets are embroidered at the top. Yokes, frequently defined with ruffling of lace or eyeleted organdie, give a demure touch to many of the new bridal dresses. The yoke in some cases is done in pale blue or flesh-colored nylon or net rather than the traditional white. Full Skirts Featured In Bridesmaid’s Dress Simple designing marks the bridesmaid’s dress this year. This does not mean, however, that it’s in any way an ugly duckling. With full, charming skirts, scooped or wide-open necklines and sash waist lines, these gowns are very roman tic looking. One in light blue com bines plain and eyeleted organdie and has a small ruffled apron over its skirt. Perfect for a garden wedding is a hoop-skirted, floor length dress in green and lavender plaided cotton with a matching cartwheeL Can look lovelier than ever. Snug bodices, very wide skirts with wide sashes, appliqued flow ers, all are features on the new bridesmaid’s dresses. Brides Should Plan Beauty Routine Since the girl who is a bride should look her loveliest at the wed- THE READER'S COURTROOM- Can't Collect Bargain Damages May a Shopper Collect Damages if Knocked Down At a Bargain Sale? A dry goods store ran a month- end sale on bed linen, and got re sults far exceeding its fondest hopes. A huge crowd gathered and began milling around. Women screamed, fainted and even climbed up onto the counter! Dur ing the excitement, one housewife was knocked down a stairway. -By Will Bernard, LL.B.- Though not badly hurt, she deter mined to sue the store for damages. She claimed that the company should have taken special measures to prevent this kind of accident. However, the court rejected her suit. The judge pointed out that the store had no reason to expect such a violent response to the sale! • • • May a Child Collect Damages If Hurt in a Revolving Door? A young boy suffered a sprained wrist when he caught it in the re volving door of a hotel. His par ents sued the management’ on the boy’s behalf, claiming that such a door was dangerous because it was so tempting to children. They in sisted that the hotel ought to have a guard posted by the door—and to have It locked when the guard wasn’t there. However, the court rejected their claim. The judge aaid it wasn't fair to the hotel. Is a Fire Engine Driver Liable for Reckless Driving? On the way to a fire, a fire en gine sideswiped a parked taxicab. The cabbie was injured, and later sued the fire engine driver for damages. The fireman protested that he was not personally respon sible for something that happened in the course of his urgent public duty. However, the court ruled that was no excuse and held him liable, for reckless driving. Is a Beekeeper Responsible If His Bees Attack a Mule? A farmer set up a beehive along side his back fence, right close to the favorite grazing spot of his neighbor’s mule. One hot day the bees lit out after the mule and stung him so badly that he died. When the neighbor sued for the value of the beast, the farmer protested that he was not to blame for what his bees had done. How ever, when he admitted that the same bees had once attacked his own mule too, the court decided to hold him responsible. The judge said that, since the farmer knew his bees were vicious, he should not have stationed them so close to the neighbor’s animal. ding, it’s the wise bride who goes on a beauty ritual before the wed ding. She may be perfectly lovely, but a few beauty routines followed faithfully for a week or 10 days be fore the wedding when her days are hectic, will give her good groom ing as well as confidence. Properly chosen food, rest and cleanliness will assure her of a healthy, wholesome look for her wedding day. These will be bene ficial for all-over beauty, especial ly for preventing the skin from breaking out all of a sudden from too much rich food during bridal showers! No matter how busy her program, the bride-to-be should plan to get her full quota of eight hours sleep. If she can’t manage this every night, she should take an hour or two for a nap during the day. No bride should appear at her own wedding with dark circles under shining eyes! A daily tubbing will take care of cleanliness, but special attention should be directed to the face, arms and legs, especially if the skin is dry. Use a cleansing or lubricating cream if the skin is dry, and do this treatment faithfully. Lovely wash fabrics such a* the many fine cottons are tak ing novel turns in the current skirt blouse styles, and nearly all of them are designed with variety in mind. In the model sketched, stunning appliqued flowers of the same white as the blouse become even more flattering with quilting. The skirt is' worn with or without the pretty weskit, according to your mood. Another idea that is extremely popular is the skirt with a wide, matching sash which can double as a stole or a cleverly draped hal ter, according to need. KATHLEEN NORRIS Youthful Errors Leave Scars TWENTY YEARS ago a certain '*■ girl went off on a motor trip with a college friend;, she was 19, the boy-friend was 22. Both were living on money sent by self-denying and hardworking par ents, month after month, so that the girl and boy might acquire a real education, culture and the benefits of social contacts in a wider world. The motor trip lasted five days. For those five days, and they weren’t by any means days of un clouded happiness, the girl threw away her honor. It seemed fun to register as Mr. and Mrs.; it seemed fun to spend his last $19 of allow ance and the $10 she had borrowed from a sorority sister on the de lights of little wayside meals and overnights at the picturesque mo tels of Southern California. A “mo tel” is an informal one-story hostel ry, and at many of them guests are not too closely questioned as to age or relationship. This girl was a sensitive, well- bred, proud young thing, who came to me a few months after this brief interval ended, half-mad with self-contempt and shame. No, she was not going to have a baby; the escapade hadn’t left that scar. Tortured with Remorse But she was writhing under the burning misery of knowledge far too old for her 19 years. Knowledge that the boy hadn’t taken the affair seriously at all. Knowledge that what she had thought a generous surender had only been a cheap yielding to his casual importunity. Knowledge that many of her col lege associates suspected what had occurred, and the nicest of them couldn’t help showing that they didn’t like it—or her. When a telegram came from a all their lives their mother has been building their characters with talk of self-control and purity and goodness. And in all these years, back in her own consciousness, has been the knowledge that some where in the world there lives a man who knows just how weak and gullible she was when she was a girl. No man, in the honorable and consciencious beginnings of his business life, likes to remember that when he was in high school, he used to slip his hand into the pock ets of coats hanging up in the schoolhouse hall, and take what he found. No man likes to remember the time he lied flatly—and success fully!—about cheating in the finals in his Freshman year. The chance that got him out of a disgraceful night-club raid, while the other fellows had to face the publicity and scandal of it, isn’t anything to be proud of, in later life. These ghosts of past follies and young sins rise to haunt us and to jar our self-respect and sense of security in later years. This is so of all schoolday mis takes. Untruths that got someone else into trouble. Small thefts and forgeries. The abandoning of friends when one might make a safe es cape from trouble and leave them behind. Cruelty to a devoted mother. And more than all these—these little foxes that gnaw and gnaw through our memories is the know ledge in a girl’s heart that in her unthinking girlhood, she threw away something that meant noth ing to her casual lover, but so much more to herself than she ever dreamed. For that particular relationship, to a girl, is the very key to her whole life. It is the key to honor, dignity, wifehood, position, home, children. It means these things to her, whether she quite knows it or not at 18. . . , taking another girl about ... sick mother this girl returned glad ly to her Iowa home. The boy had long since shown his complete in difference and was taking another girl about. Our girl—call her Anne —felt a deepened shame when she realized that he was the sort of boy who might under certain cir cumstances boast of his conquests. Well, she went home and became a domestic angel. She saw her mother through a long illness, kept house for an adoring father and two small brothers, filled to the brim her obligations as daughter, sister, friend, and eventually wife and mother. She married with dig nity, with position and modest wealth, and with true love. Her husband never has had a suspicion of her early mistake. Can’t Escape Selves So what? What’s the moral? The moral lies in Anne’s own heart. Every cheap, dishonest, vulgar careless thing we do in youth is stored away in our consciousness and in our characters. We can’t escape ourselves, even though we escape everyone else. Probably the arrogant boy who made love to her 20 years ago hasn’t suffered; he was made of coarser clay. All col leges have scores of boys of this type; unscrupulous, attractive, sure of themselves and neither know ing or caring what results from their love affairs. But Anne is finely constructed; she is sensitive to her fingertips. Her daughters are 16 and 9 now, and there is a son in between, and Koreans Run Thieves Mart Seoul Natives Sell Variety 'Hot' Items SEOUL, KOREA.—Any modest sized American department store would be envious of the thieves’ market in this capital city with its variety of goods ranging from surgeon’s scalpels to G.I. uniforms. With a sly grin the native calls it “our Korean P.X.” The market, which is stuffed with goods obtained mainly through questionable channels, is made up of hundreds of wooden stalls on a muddy, twisting side alley almost a pule long. The American influence on this little community of “hot” goods is plainly evident. The three years of American military government combined with the large civilian personnel still here has been the market’s best source of supply. The market, whose merchants operate on the basis of “you name it; we have it,” or “if not, we can get it,” is glutted with medicines, shoes, toilet articles, civilian and GI clothes, plaster pin-up girls, and almost anything else you can think of. The market has grown into quite a little industry with its own dye ing and tailoring concerns. It ia only a matter of hours until a “hot” man’s suit can be tailored over into a woman’s garment and dyed a different color. Another favorite pastime of the local slippery finger men is the lifting of automoblie headlights, provided they can’t make off with the vehicle. But those thieves spe cializing in the automobile trade apparently are imbued with a cer tain amount of community con sciousness and need for safety on the roads at night. They invariably remove only one headlight MIRROR Of Your MIND i m mm Mother Can't 1 ■ H rs , Replace Father By Lawrence Gould Can mother take father’s place? Answer: No, however hard she may try, and however relieved father may be by the thought of dumping his responsibilities onto her shoulders, says Dr. Edward A. Strecker, author of “Their Mothers’ Sons.” For the fact remains that mother is a female, and a child must learn to grow up in a world that’s male AND female. “Your son needs a man around whom he can imitate. You want him to glory in physical strength, learn to be aggressively fearless, re sourceful, protective—in short, mas culine. He will not learn that from his mother.” Are nicknames bad for children? Answer: There is no essential difference between a nickname and a “real” one if it is the name which the child comes to recog nize as meaning himself. I know two or three men who would scarcely know whom you were speaking to if you addressed them by the names that are recorded on their birth certificates, and I can not see it has made any difference to them. But to give a child a nickname that seems "cute” while he’s a baby but will sound ridicu lous as he grows older may make his developing a normal self esteem needlessly hard. Do longer boors mean getting more work done? Answer No, say statisticians of the U. S. Bureau of Labor, report ing a survey of 2445 male and 1060 female workers in 34 different in dustrial plants in this country. “Generally speaking, the study in dicates that, everything else being equal, the 8-hour day and 40-hour week are best in terms of effi ciency and absenteeism, and that higher levels of hours are less satisfactory.” Longer hours not only mean more time lost through absence from the job, but bring about a marked rise in both the number and frequency of accidental injuries. LOOKING AT RELIGION By DON MOORE Af?E ONLY & MORMON TEMPLES IN TUB WORLD... SIX OF THEM APE IN THE UNITED STATES. KEEPING HEALTHY Causes and Treatment of Hives By Dr. James W HEN HIVES (urticaria) occurs, the first thought naturally is to relieve the itching and burning, but there are so many substances that can cause'hives that we must try to find the cause as soon as possible. Thus, as certain foods are often to blame, the first method of treat ment is to give an emetic to induce vomiting, such as a teaspoon of mustard in half a glass of water. If the food has been in the body for some time, then a dose of castor oil or Epsom salts should be taken. The drug most commonly used to relieve symptoms is the injection of 10 to 15 minims (drops) of ad renalin under the skin. While cleansing out the stomach and intestine and the injection of adrenalin (epinephrine) give al most immediate relief from the itching and burning, it should be remembered that the system has received a shock and needs rest in bed, with liquid food for a day or two. When hives are over the entire W. Barton body, baking soda, which is always soothing to the inflamed skin, is effective—a cupful in the regular bath or half a cup in the wash tub. After drying, touching the hives with baking soda talcum or flour prolongs the relief. While the above treatment gives considerable relief in all cases, tha cause of the hives should be sought so that chronic hives or frequent attacks of hives can be prevented by avoiding the foods, drugs and other substances found to be the cause or causes. In addition to these causes, it is now known that just as emotional disturbances can increase the heart rate, raise the blood pressure, cause stomach upsets and diar rhoea, so can they cause hives and other eruptions of the skin. One of the substances manufac tured by the body tissues is histam ine, a factor associated with al lergic symptoms including hives. For this reason what are known as antihistamine drugs, such as bena- dryl, are used to treat hives. HEALTH NOTES Because tuberculous glands in children appear to be a forerunner of tuberculous meningitis, some physicians prescribe streptomycin in such tuberculosis cases. • • • Insulin has kept many diabetics alive for years, enabling the great majority to attain the age they would have lived even if they had not been afflicted with diabetes. Early symptoms of cancer of the stomach are (1) uncomfortable feeling in the stomach, increased by eating but disappeanng at night, (2) belching of gas and gas pres sure, (3) lost appetite for certain foods such as meat, (4) a feeling of tiredness and weakness, with loss of weight and thinning of the blood becoming evident. New Plastic Foam Used in Insulation Material Is Called Lightest of Solids The world’s lightest solid an amazing plastic foam that swells up when baked like a cake to 100 times its original volume—has been developed by Westinghouse scien tist for use as a new insulating ma terial. The new product is expected to find its way into many uses in ap pliances used in farm homes and about the farm. Even lighter than some gases, the new material weighs from 10 to 20 times less than the fluffy meringue on a well-baked pie. Robert F. Sterling, 29-year-old chemist, and the man chiefly re- Shown here is a refrigerator completely insulated with the new plastic - foam insulation material. This is the way the refrigerator looked after the insulation job was done, but before door liner and other parts were put back in place, sponsible for the new product, said it is the result of a three-year search for an effective insulating material that will fill large areas, jret weigh “next to nothing.” The foam is made by heating a molasses-like synthetic resin at about 350 degrees Fahrenheit until it expands to 100 times its original volume, then solidifies. Thousands of gas bubbles entrapped in the foam “buoy” it up and give the plastic its lightness. Foamed into pre-fabricated metal wall sections, a two-inch thick lay er weighing only 300 pounds would be enough to insulate a complete six-room house. Sterling said. Resistant to fire, moisture, fun gus growth and insects, the foam is low enough in cost to be practical for many applications and uses, the scientist said. Not only do imprisoned air bub bles give the new plastic great lightness, but they also provide it with its excellent insulating quali ties. So-called “dead air” is one of the best insulators known among commonly available materials, Sterling said. Cover That Cough -CMOOf “Cover that cough, smother that sneeze” is not only good advice for people in public places. It has prac tical meaning in the cowbam, too. Danger that coughing cattle may spread respiratory infections to their stablemates is highlighted in a research report from the Ameri can Veterinary Medical associa tion. The report describes an unusual case of tuberculosis of the eye in a heifer. A tuberculosis cow with a bad cough, stanchioned next to the heifer, is believed to have spread the disease. AVMA points out that this case occurred in England, where bovine tuberculosis is widespread. Al though tuberculosis has been re duced to a minimum in United States herds, coughers and sneezers are nevertheless a menace because they may spread all kinds of res piratory infections. Isolation of any animal showing respiratory symp toms is urged, therefore, to protect the rest of the herd. Field Mice Destructive To Melon Crops, Seed Untold damage is done each year to cucumber, cantaloupe and water melon fields by mice destroying the seed which are planted and al so the plants which are up and oearing fruit.
