She has a flair for doing things. Without these basic characteristics she could not as-| sume the natural, vivacious look which illustrators and advertisers are, almost without exception, demanding today. Harry Conover, himself once a model and now head of his own agency, was equally emphatic about the demice of the glamor girl. “Over 75 per cent of our appoint- | ments today are made for the wellscrubbed - American - girl business,” Mr. Conover s=id. “This demands a {new type of girl—one whom we call “vitaluring’.

Your Health

By Jane Stafford

YOU HEAR the word allergy quite frequently these days, but you probably think that the ailment itself is something new. Actually it existed in ancient times. Hippocrates, who lived about 400 B. C., writing about cheese and its effect on man, described what doctors today call food allergy, says Dr. Warren T. Vaughan in his new book on allergy, “Strange Malady.” The man who started the phrase, “What’s one man’s food is another man’s poison,” was Lucretius, the

Plowman Photo. Mrs. John F. Helsly was Miss

Lola Bischoff, daughter of Mr.

her recent marriage.

To Celebrate Birthday

Mrs. V. V. Cravens, 6105 Indianola Ave., will entertain tomorrow with a luncheon and theater party cele-

{ brating the seventh birthday of her

son, Philip. Guests will be Nancy Lee Cox, Gloria Barbee, Virginia Johnson, Barbara Jean Demlow, Clyde Dedert, Danny Teeguarden and Jack Sogard.

sufferers after nine years of search, the disease must have been much rarer than it is now, although this does not mean that it may not have existed long before Bostock first noticed it. At present there are probably 6,000,000 hay fever sufferers in the United States, Dr. esimates. “There are probably in the neighborhood of 60,000,000 who will experience some mild allergic symptom at some time during their lives,” he states. This means not merely hay fever but hives, sick headache, asthma and the various other forms which allergy may take.
