GRATEIIWIL Answer-Try a low side part with the front hair brushed over your forehead in long bangs. Curl the ends of the bangs under with curling

up your side hair with wire clips to give a waved effect. when you brush your hair, hold your head down and brush from the hairline up to the crown of your head. This will make your hair fluffier. I think that a certain amount of fluffiness is more becoming to your type than the aleak finger wave which is held in place with a curling fluid. You should certainly avoid small, brim- less hats. A large or medium brim is best for you.

(2) Your weight is good. Your bust and thigh might be a. little larger. Swimming is one of the best exercises for developing the bust. If this is not convenient for you, do the arm movements of the breast stroke while standing erect. Place your hands on your shoulders, el- bows bent. Without moving the hands, swing the elbows forward as dai- as you can and then swing them back. Repeat ten to twenty times. nactice correct posture at all time8- Stand tall with abdomen in and chest expanded. Keep your oiiifi UP-

Dear Miss Leeds How can I keep my face from breaking out with pimples? HELEN S.

Answer-If you are in your teens you will no doubt outgrow this ten- dency in a few years. Keep your skin Iry clean. Sometimes consti- patiorr and wrong diet cause pimples. An excess of sweets. starches and meats should be avoided. Eat plen- ty of fresh. fruits and vegetables. Begin breakfast with an orange ev- cry day. Eat some raw vegetables daily such as lettuce, celery, tomat- oes, carrots, coleslaw. etc. Wash your face every. night with tincture of green soap (proourable at any drug store), rinse well, dry and pat on an acne soap or boric acid ointment.

is a. most unattractive proposition to me, for I hold no illusions about it. I am a. freedom-living soul and I just hate the idea of staying home cooking when I_ would like to be out playing tennis or some- thing like that. I love skating, dancing and even fish- ing with the boy friend, but I see this all shot to pieocswith the advent of the first baby. Gee, I almost wish I was back in a century where all women were expected to do was to get married and have child- ren. but nowadays it means giving up a lot for a girl to get married, ~

D0 Y0“ il-BOW lflyihifll 806d about marriage that would enhance it in my eyes and thus change my state of mind? I am 22. DISGRUNIIED.

Answev. _ .. - It is true that matrimony is no picnic, but, after all, it isn't as bad as it is painted. When we ace the number of divorces and so many husbands and wives fighting together like the Kilkenny cats. it does seem that mar-

that we hear about.» It is only the divorces that get on the front page of the newspapers.

Nothing is said about the thousands and thousands of happy marriages where a man and a wife go on quietly and contentedly loving each other and making each other happy and living out their days together in a quiet, peaceful home. It is news when a Hollywood star gets another divorce. but nobody gets out a band when Darby and Joan celebrate their golden wed- ding.

Of course. getting-married is the greatest gamble on earth. because when you do it you stake everything you have in life on the outcome. But it is because when you win out the reward is so great that men and women con- tinue to plunge on in spite of the failures they sec all about them.

For there is no disputing the fact that there are no other people so haPPY as those who are happily married. To love and to be loved is a necessit of the human heart, and lacking love we go hungering and thirst- ing fu- tho vary broad of life m which to feed our souls. No love is so strong and enduring, no love so satisfying as this wedded love of a man and woman who have found their mates and who give each other a devotion that never falters, a companionship that never wearies.

To have Q friend whose loyalty never fails you, whose affection excuses your very faults and finds them dear because they are part of you; to have some one who will cherish you and to whom you could turn if the whole

pletely your interests that you never talked out, surely nothing could be a greater joy thanthis, and that is Mist a happy marriage will bring you.

As for your dreading marriage because you feel you will have to give up your outdoor sports and dancing, that it“ is an unfounded fear, as you will perceive if you look around you and see how many married Piiople are playing tennis and golf, and hoppiggaround at balls and parties. People don‘ii- retire from society themselves down to a fireside nowadays when they get married. They have found out that all matrimony and no play minke-Jack and Jill get on each others nerves and fight, so they pursue ‘tEeir diversions after marriage even as they did before.

And you will have this further solace, ‘that as we grow older our tastes change, and we find our pleasures in different things. It is only while one 1s young and bubbling over with life and strength and youth that one cares for the more strenuous games. After a bit we are content to settle down to quieter diversions.

Furthermore, I will hazard to bet that after that first baby comes, who will shoot your, game of tennis to pieces, you would rather have it in your arms and have it call you mother than be tennis champion of the universe. DOROTHY DIX.

Dear Miss Dix-I am a young mother, 2B yeari old, with three children. My husband is a good man. and I~am fond of him. but he has a. very small money-making ability ani only earns barely enough for us to exist on. We are always-in debt. always driven for money. The children lack for the nec- essities of life and things will be no better because my husband lacks educa- tion and ‘will never be able to make more than he does at present. Now here is my problem. I am better educated than he is and can earn more than he does, as l worked before I was married. I want to go back to my Job because we need the money and because I am determined to educate my children, but my husband is not willing for me to do so be- cause he is afraid the children will be neglected. Two of the children are in school and the baby ‘s nearly 3 yeara old. What shall I do? DIBCOURAGED MOTHER.

Answer: '

If a man can support his family in decent comfort I think it is best for the wife to stay at home and take care of the children, because no one can do that as well as she can.

But in a case where the man is unable to eafil enough money to provide the necessities of life for his family, obviously it becomes the best thing for the wife also to become a money-earner. She can do more for her children by giving them a. better standard of living than ahe could by her personal at- tention. It is more important for them to have plenty of bread than it is for mother to make it. She will do more for them morally by putting them in a good neighborhood to live than she would by watching over them in a bar; neighborhood.

Grinding poverty is not only hard on people physically. It is equally dis- astrous to them mentally. and a woman whose nerves are fretted to fiddle strings of anxiety over where the next meal is coming from. and who is soured by disappointment and embittered by envy because she ot have anything pretty herself or give her children good clothes, cannot make a ‘happy and contented home, or be a cheery companion to her children.

She is lure to be peovish and fratful and nagging. Nothing will sweet- en up-her disposition and make her more agreeable to~livs with than going out and earning the money till? will lessen the domeatie strain and enable bar toybuy the little comfort) she longs for andbeodl. Theref u, even in that sense, she wsil be a better mother than if aha stayed at home and starv- Gtlfiith the children. ' a
