A Rjgslil Ltnpuisive and hasty rush into a dubious situation could prove disastrous and beget unusual factors involving outlay and risk of available funds. A cairn and carefully analysed investigation of

fundamental and basic elements zould develop unlocked. for and surprising denouemerrts, where-

as a “flash-in-the-pan." a too eager or superﬁcial appraisal. could be- get loss and lasting complications. Keep ccmlposed, use reason not irri- pulse or emotional urges. Postpone commitments where possible.

If It In Your Birthday

‘Ilhose whose birthday it is, have lair prospects for reaping unlook- ed for beneﬁts opportunities, fin- ancial aid. if shrewd an-ri studied analysis of plans and objectives be carefully viewed for long-range and fundamental climax. There is promise of unusual denouement. with help from unhxpected sources. Reckless and over-eager rush to force deals without sound consid- eration could be detrimental. Loss 0f ftmds, extravagant investments. may loat- beyond calculation.

A child born on this day while clever. versatile and adventurous, may negative prospects and squan- der its substance by rash. unstud- led. on- extravagant or emotional Indulgences.

THOUSANDS 0F PATIENTS NOW CURED 0F DENTAL AILRIENTS

‘Iihe whole world has been in such a turmoil with two wars with- in a period of one generation. that there are more men and women in need of treatment for mental and ammlonai disturbances than in any time in history. Even before World \‘\'ar II. scientists predicted that within It. period of 50 years. at the rate of IIICTEIISE in mental diseases. one llzllf of the world would be needed to care for the other half. Ebrtun-ately. the shock treatment came into use at that time and thousands of patients in mental hospitals were able to return to their regular or other occupation, and other thousands became well enough to return to their homes and needed no hospital treatment of nily kiritl. - All organization that is keeping abreast of all tile nclvr-r methods understanding and treating mental ailments is the National Conrmiitee for lifentnl Hygiene. which works on behalf of menial patients as do heart and arthritis organizations. In “pIealt-h Bulletins for Teach- ers," the ltletropolital Life Insur- ance Company outlines the airm of the mental hygiene movement as follows:

ti) To remove the age-old stir:- ma attached to menial illness so that it will be accepted in all its forms as real, treatable. and in many oases preventable; i2) to in- fornl the public of the facilities. such as psychiatric cbnlcs and out-patient departments for obser- vation. now available in their cCm- munities, including mental hy- giene and child guidance i-Lnics and psychiatric hospitals; i?) to in- crease the resources for training psychiatric personnel (psychiatrists. psychologists, psychiatric nurses and psychiatric case workers) for developing psychiatric lt-search, broadening the field of child psy- chology and for helping us all to learn what it means to be healthy ItllltIlECI and how to prevent a ten- dency to neurotic trends, alld to detect in ourselves. our children, and our relatives and friends. the danger siglllals which show that professional help is needed. There is at present no greater need than that for the work of the National Committee for Men-ial Hygiene. an organization equip- ped to help those formerly doom- ed to spend their whole lives in overcrowded menial hospitals.

Should Man Marry Fiancee Whom He Has Ceased To Love?

DEAR MISS DIX: I am 21 years of age, engaged to be married to a girl of 20. We are to be married very soon and I find that I am not as madly In love with her as I thought I was. She is a nice girl and I am very fond of her and I hate to hurt. her, but I get to wonder- ing if I won't hurt her more by marrying her without loving her. Be- sides, I am in debt and have n hig doctor's bill to pay for an opera- tion I have recently gone through. I. have told her all this, but still she wants io go on and get mnrricd. Whatever I do. I will feel like a cad, but which way will hurt her the least?

ANSWER: Tile most’. mistaken gesture of gal- lantry that a man cvcr makes is when he marries a girl whom hc has ceased to love. It is the cruelest to M I _ thing thnt a man can do, because it dooms a woman of 10a ong misery.

LACK COUBAGE

Y“ many men commit this supreme folly because they lack the

s, courage to hurt a girl whom they have once loved, and hate to humili-

fllﬂh" by lilting hcr. They forget that the wound that they would inflict on a girl by breaking off with her before marriage is as nothing to the daily heartbreak it would be to her to know herself an un- wanted wife. I

It takes a lot of love to make marriage endurable. It takes a lot of love to make amen and woman willing to sacrifice for each Other. to make them willing to toil for each other. to enable them to overlook each others little faults and peculiarities and to like them just because they are John's or Mary's ways. And so I think that if cplitheﬁ‘ a man or a womnn find out, even at the very altar. that he or s c as ceased to love the party of the other part. the only honest and honorable and kind thing to do is to turn back and break off the mar- riage.

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I am a middle-aged. successful business man, widely traveled, well read, fond of sports, the theatre and every- thing interesting and educational, yet so poor n conversationrllist that I am at a loss for anything to say when I should be able to talk and to entertain any one in whose company I chance to be thrown. I am l" ‘he hﬂblt 01 meetlﬂ! People and hm not bashful. I have just got "MM"! t0 88y. Can you suggest ways and means to make dumb peo- ple self-starters? JQHN THE SILENT

AN$WER= If people haven't the gift of gab. they simply haven't it. And, unfortunately, there doesn‘t seem to be much they can do about. it.

To be interesting, conversation has to be spontaneous and come right hot; off the griddle. There is nothing more flavorless than made- to-order conversation. You know how it is when people converse as If they learned to talk in a school of correspondence. And you have met up with the synthetic humorists who repent word by word the funny stories they read In a. newspaper nnd that somehow they man- age to make sad and dreary instead of laugh-getters.

But why yearn to be a talker? The world is overful of them and what. it needs is listeners. Among the most agreeable and intelligent people we know are not the spellblnders nor the chnttcrcrs, but the silent people who lend us their curs. Don't forget these are two kinds of dumbncss. ‘ Thcrc is the dumbness of stupidity and the sympathetic and appreciative silence of those who apparently hung upon our words, Al"! {will TOFBet thnt people who talk little always get the reputation 0! helm!

DEAR DOROTHY DIX: I nm a girl of 19. just out of school. I want to get; married, but the big question at present is in selecting a man with the characteristics necessary to make a perfect marriage. What type of man should I pick out for my husband? DELORES

Chintz fabrics are natural to use with both modern and early furniture. Chintz is a simple fab- ric with bright colors and its able to stand hard wear.

The colors selected should be clear and clean, to give a real sense of being alive. Soft blues form a pleasing background for warm tangerine. clear greens and rich brown.

Furniture arrangement should make a home able to serve any occasion with grace and ease. Fur- nishings in each room should ba planned so rte-arrangement is pos- sible to accommodate any number of activities.

Guillaume also believes that some of the hair styles usually credited to the Greek gods and godesses will return in favor. He says that fashionable ladies will wear their hair high and sparkling for evening. They'll keep it much more formal than they've been wearing it the past year. And they'll tuck jewels into the hairdo itself rather than wear the costly evening hats which are the much- proclaimed vogue of this season.

This coiffure designer also be- lieves in dyeing hair. And not just dyeing it one color-but a couple.

He recommends that women have dyed highlights (he calls them "sunbeams") all around the head. These light-tinted spots sug- gest captured sunbeams. and. ha believes. add to the youthful look of hairdds.

The most effective treatment of the sunbeam dye system. accord- ing to the stylist. can be done on the ash blonde-whose hair can be tinted honey-blonds in spots.

It's about time to start spread- in.g Christmas greenery all ovq the house. to make arrangementl list, for the family next door or upstairs halls. for a desk or tho dining room server as well as fol tables in the living room. You on begin to enjoy its woodsy frag- rance early. if you k-norw how to make evergreenery last. Plan the decorating so that most of ihl branches can be put in water. Strip off all needles and small branches that won't show abovl the container tops. Then scrape the bark from stems that will be submerged with a sharp knife, lg as much water as possible can be absorbed. If branches are not freshly cut. cut thelm on a long diagonal. Even holly will have longer and happier life if it treated this way. And jot don't!
