55367 EIGHT WANT ADSERVICE THE HONOLULU ADVERTISER, MONDAY, MAY 11, 1953. About Garden Isle People iFormer Island Resident charter members of the arouo. Mate Shv On Praise? Don't Let It Get You Tells Of Visit OnWlt IN L. I Ever since Peggy Fumi Kobayashi became Mrs. Edmund Gerner Nelson, her life has been one of surprises not one dull moment.

This was in 1948 the month June, the place, and the preliminaries, nerve-wracking. That's right, Mrs. Nelson says it is very difficult for foreigners to get married By DORIS BLAKJS Shame on you husbands who let your wives work so hard over their appearance only to wait vainly for compliments from you. It is a common complaint, but one which we fear is taken often too seriousiy by the wives. It's not hard to see their point of view.

They'd like to be told that their efforts are not wanted. They get tired of seeing the admiration -they crave for themselves being lavished upon females outside the family circle. "Lovely hairdo," remarks the husband, todding towards a woman at the next table in a restaurant. AND YOU, who may have just spent time aplenty either in your hair dressing parlor or in front of your dressing table, working over your own tresses until you feel that you are Mrs. Glamor herself, are completely let down because not a word of approbation was passed your way.

A letter from just such an unappreciated wife reminded us of this sad state of domestic affairs that prevails. She writes us that she spends hours over her hair and face, trying out makeups and hairdos, with never an iota of commendation from headquarters. Our sympathies, Madame. BUT, IF YOU can't share the compliments you covet, don't abandon the idea of keeping up that appearance. We doubt that we have to tell you that you'd soon be told that your toilette was not exactly up to snuff.

As you loy with your hairpins and combs, and wipe beautifying cream from your face, let your mind dwell on your domestic blessings rather than anticipate phrases of admiration. Feel happy that the husband who fails to toss you verbal bou- nuet.fi heeanso nf thp wav vnur In Paris jraris involves 16 steps. But it's truly romantic. Unforgettable, the Nelsons' honeymoon was spent traveling ana signtseemg Europe. Upon their return to New York, Peggy secured a position in the foreign service of the state de partment.

She is now attached to the American embassy in ranee, where her work com prises half of her daily life in THE OTHERhaif of life is Bohemian, and begins alter working hours. In Paris she says, regular business hours commence, at 9:30 a and generally close around 6 p.m. She and her husband live in the St. Germaine de Pres. known as the Latin Qua rt.fr nr the "quartier vivant." Stimulating in an aesthetic sense, the section is Known to and frequented by intellectuals nri artists who seem to derive that so-called local color for their masterpieces from their environment.

Living in one of the flats. uaiudiduie to a siuaio. in a 300-year-old house, the Nelson's daily domestic life is fa frnm dull. Peggy's home attire con sist of jeans and a shirt worn with the tails out. Thev have a maid, and they eat out.

Peggy aoes not cook. -'And, anyway," she says, "everyone in Paris dines out. It's cheaper and rench cuisine is excellent Also it doesn't get dark in Par is tin around 10 o'clock, and no one eats dinner till around 11. SPEAKING OF food, Peggy has developed a taste for snails dotes on broiled ones smoth ered butter and lots of garlic. At this point in the inter view, Mrs.

Nelson shrieked with delight when told of the bucket, fuls of snails some Honolulan across town was recently bothered with. Of course, she was skeptical perhaps they weren't the edible kind which are really "ono." The Nelsons spend their summers in Italy and the winters in St. Moritz, Switzerland. There so far, Mrs. Nelson has been the only other Oriental fmaio besides Baby Roxas, daughter! oi r-ninppine ex-president, Manuel Roxas.

Clothes? Peggy raves about the Paris gowns and frocks but which are tough on an ordinary housewife's budget. She owns only one a Jacques-Fath creation which set her back 200,000 francs. Thrilled with the lavish and colorful prints here, Peggy remembered the correct but chic black so much used back home; but shopped for a few Hawaiian designs anyway. Near Paris is the Nelson's farm where Mr. Nelson breeds horses and readies one for the annual Irish sweepstakes.

ABOUT MR. NELSON. Peggy says he is a vagabond always has been. An athlete, he excels in the bob sled and holds several trophies won in the sport. He hopes to represent the United States in the next Olympics.

A graduate of Barnard college, Peggy, to this writer, has always been the ambitious girl who lived next door and dreamed of "far-away places with the strange sounding names." She and her husband plan to see the Orient and live there for two years, then return to Hawaii to raise their familv and retire. Mrs. Nelson, who was with thp Honolulu PhamUr mor-o i merce before she left Hawaii, will be here until Mav 91 cwi riUMlWl I V. I I I is staying with hpr mother Mrs. Yoshimi Kobayashi of 3279 Kilihune PI.

The rest of her family includes sisters, Mrs. Kenichi Watanabe of Boston, Mrs. Franklin Sunn of Waikiki; Mrs. Paul Oasa of Kaimuki: and brother, Robert Kobayashi, local artist who visited with her in Paris several years ago.

Sv- i 1 THE NEWS Blandine, principal speaker at R. Van Dellen tially but after infection subsides, scar tissue develops as a normal sequel to healing. As the scar contracts the round opening narrows to such an extent that it is difficult for bloody to pass from one chamber to another. In this stage "leakage" is known as mitral stenosis and, prior to the advent of cardiac surgery, when the old ticker began to fail the medical profession had nothing but digitalis to offer. This preparation was helpful but not every patient responded.

MOST INDIVIDUALS with mitral stenosis have reached the stage where they develop shortness of breath on moderate exertion and are awakened at night periodically with congestion in the lungs leading to spells of suffocation. If additional studies reveal stenosis of the mitral valve as the cause, and other lesions do not co-exist, the operation will give relief. In other words surgery is reserved for a select group. In this procedure an incision is made directly into the heart and a finger is inserted into the auricle to prevent blood loss. A special knife is fastened to the finger and an incision is made through the stenosed valve to enlarge the opening.

Rapid improvement ensues and although no one, knows how long these men and women will continue to make progress, the original group was operated upon five years ago and all are going strong. WHILE PROGRESS is being made along the surgical front we are continuing to fight rheumatic fever medically. ACTH and cortisone are most helpful in tiding over those who are critically ill. In addition, recurrent attacks are minimized through the use of penicillin and the sulfonamides. These substances are directed chiefly at the streptococcal infection which precedes the atfack.

A small amount of sulfa-usually is given every day for five years after the original bout of rheumatic fever. Statistics demonstrate that the plan is effective because the incidence of return engagements is kept to a minimum. As a further pre- cduuun, penicuun ma De administered whenever a respiratory infection develops. It is a tedious program but worthwhile because each attack may add insult to an already injured heart.

Theodore SURGICAL CORRECTION OF HEART "LEAKAGE" The new operation on the heart to correct leakage'' is becoming a. well established procedure, lt is less risky ihan formerly in that the mortality rate ranges between 6 and 5 per cent. In this respect it is as safe as many major abdominal operations, and the low mortality is even more remarkable considering that the procedure is done only on patients Van Dellen with advanced heart disease. "Leakage" is an aftermath of rheumatic fever. It is one of the 21 varieties of heart trouble and is the most common cardiac affliction of early life.

This is understandable because rheumatic fever strikes mainly in childhood. THE DISEASE usually is preceded by a streptococcal infection of the throat or tonsils, followed 10 to 20 days later by the typical manifestations of fever, loss of appetite, and pain and swelling of the joints. The connective tissue throughout the body is more vulnerable than others and includes not only the joint areas but also the heart muscle and its four valves. Of these, the mitral valve which separates the left auricle from the left ventricle is favored. The opening is inflamed and swollen ini- HDW TP KEEP Wahiawa Group Hears Writer Don Blanding, poet, artist and speaker, was the guest of the Wahiawa Outdoor Circle at the May meeting held at the home of Mrs.

Mrs. Herbert M. Dowsett, president of the circle, was present to help direct the men and aid in the placing of the trees.

The tecomas were given to St. Anthony's school in Kailua for replanting on their grounds.
