some Basic Facts

facts that may be helpful.

For instance, cotton finishes, such as glazing or embossing. indicate that the fabric should be handled with a certain amount of care. and that all wringing or twisting should be studiously avoided. Remember, too. that son1e finishes do not re- spond well to certain household hleaches and starches.

Rayon is frequently as easily- washed today as cottons, but as it is less strong when wet, it may be stretched out of shape by careless handling. so treat it with some respect. when there are nylon gar- ments in your washing machine, stop its action before the spinning or drying cycles. This should be done because wrinkles in nylon are very difficult to remove, so it's best to avoid them by always letting nylon drip dry.

HER ANXIETY IS JUSTIFIED

DEAR. C. F.: The problem is, you aren't sure of Pete's intentions towards you in the future, if and after he gets his college diploma. You aren't sure he will want to settle down with you. ever; and your uncertainty on that score seems Justified.

Pete may love you after a fashion

Maybe because you've been around so long. an old ! acquaintance since teen-age years; whereas he had supposed his great romance would be shared with somebody brand new to his ex- perience. His worried attitude. about "us", when coming out of the Army, and his apologetic disclosure that he wasn't ready for marriage then, indicate that he felt he owed you a partnership. in response to your expectations--that he knew you were yearning for. and counting on it. So he tried to be square, and at the same time ease him- self off the spot, and stay in your good graces too.

Incentive Is

Inspiration is Just as necessary is information when it comes to reducing. True. with the science of nutrition applied to daily meals. excess fat can be lost quite satis- .actorily. But the inspiration given by other overwelghis and passed along through the letters seems to be just the incentive In many of you need to start your reducing. Morale lifting letters also renew your enthusiasm to stay on the slimming course.

The first letter gives a refresh- ingly frank reason for taking so- iion against overweight.

Of course. we know all men do ;hat. But, I said to myself after tak- ing a good look in the full length mirror. '1 don't blame him a blt!'

In the second letter. it was the doctor who jolted an overweight into taking action. .

"will power is a wonderful ml to have. For a good many years I intended to lose weight and al- ways put it off - until I reached 248 pounds and was told by my doctor that I would become an invalid. I started immediately and haven't gone off the diet once. Since January. I have lost as pounds. and have about 40 more to go. Your articles have been of great interest and help to me. I am happy to say that I feel much better now."

Hearty congratulations to you, too. with your new food habits, you will never let the pounds gel out of control again. '
