each other, that take to accessory changes to double their value. She spends the most money on clothes she uiears the most; silo cafes less money to dresses she wears infrequently. Her wardrobe wnay be small but it's rated AAA because she always looks her best. The reason she does is that slie is thoroughly aware of her needs before slie invests her cash

Now take the case of the specu- lator. With the same cash outlay. the speculator splurges on spur of-the-moment purchases without regard to wardrobe needs. As a result. she usually winds up with a closet full of clothes -many of them mistakes —and few that she actually likes to wear. Her closet will harbour a mixed-up jumpie of outfits which taken separately may be handsome but collectively will refuse to liar- monlze with each other.

SHOULD EXPECT TO DO HER DUTY Something is seriously wrong

with the upbringing and educa tion of a girl when she goes intt marriage expecting all the prlvi leges and rewards of marriage, and yet is resentful of having to hold down the job of a. house- wife.

‘Fake Margie as a fairly tiypica. eiample of a girl with that at- titude toward marriage.

To "hear her complain, you'd naturally suppose that she leads a tough life. There's so much work, she never seems to get done. She's tied down all day long with two small children, when she would like to be run- ning around with the girls. He: husband doesn't realize what a strain Margie is under. And so on. Actually, Margie is a plenty lucky girl. she has an ambitious good-natured husband.

She has a pretty, modern home, with most oi the labour-saving devices that are on the market. She has a share in the family

car. She has a pretty yard. She has two well-clothed, 'well-fed children.

Margie, herself, has clothes that are good enough, though not as many or as expensive as she would like.

All of that. marriage has given to Margie. Yet, apparently, no one has ever told her that no woman should expect to have so much handed to her on a sliver platter, that in return for all of those benefits and blessings she should shoulder tiie duties house-

und responsibilities oi a wife.

PREVENTION NOT CURE OF . ‘ OVERWEIGHT

One of my close relatives, a phy- sical director, was unusually well built. when asked how he had ac- quired his well developed muscles, he always pointed to a bottle on his desk, the label on which was Blanks developer. "I take a spoon- iéul of that developer three times a

ay."

Tlho questioner would usually srnlle and say. “I guess it took reg- ular exercise to attain your mus- cular development."

I often think that so many who see themselves becoming overweight could learn a lesson from the above, in that if overweight is to be pre- vented it means regular or steady effort in avoiding too muoh food- especialiy too much siaroh and fat foods.

'I‘h.ere is no question but that if those who are beginning to put on excess fat were to look ahead and see whet they will look like within s few years if they continue to over-eat, they would stop eating so nrvuch food everyday of their lives lust as the well developed man lakes regular exercise daily and sees ahead of hirn what he will look like because of taking his regular exer- cise. It is this daily "prevention" of acquiring excess fat that pays large dividends, not only in appearance but also in health and happiness.

I often speak of the dangers of overweight and have mentioned the ﬁndings of the effects of overweight among officers in World War II. In a series of examinations of nearly 23,000 officers, it was revealed that high-blood pressure. vahloh is the cause of heart strokes and brain strokes, was found i2 times as often ‘in overweights as in those cf nor- nmal weight.

“I-Ilgh blood pressure l; not ,how- ever, the only penalty or gross overweight. This unnatural condi- tion predisposes to diabetes, hard- ening of the arteries. kidney troub- les, gall bladder disease, gout, and various other degenerative maladies. It. puts a strain on the heartfon the feet‘, and on other organ-s. and it nukes that stout person a poor surgical risk."

The thought about overweight. then. is not to welt until you are burdened with excess fat. which means taking hard exercise or doing without foods you greatly like, but to avoid this hard task by not let- ting yourself become overweight. Just s little less food dniiy will pro- vent overweight.’

"A Pioneer Home" James read". “sure enough" Pat said "and of logs.

Pat was at the door this eve- ning when James opened it at Pards bark. Indeed for some min- utes before. his barking had been almost continuous as if he were well aware of Pat's coming. As indeed he had been, following with excitement the progress of the white mare along the snowy fields and presently up to the yard. “Are you off courtirf?" I overheard James ask and then Patis laughing reply: "No, but have ye a stand for my more?" For tonight Pat drove in the moonlight along a crisp and Win- try trail. For there had been a breaking of roads today in the wake of last night's storm. It had been smtnge we said as we talked of the weather later, how quickly that. storm had developed surprising all of us except James.

that the modern girl should still be bound by the old-fashioned idea that-she has to be coy 5nd 51W and wait for some man to come along and discover that he is in love with her and wants to marry her._ I am a. man and I know what I am talking about. This idea that men should do all of the courting and that it, is urifaaiinine for a woman to even let: a man know that she admires him causes a lot of heartbreak.

‘TEENAGERS. I ANSWER: m The first thing s boy notices in a girl 1s whether l she is a good-locker or not, but that doesn't mean that she has to be a beauty.

(5) The more popular a. girl is. the more she. attracts other men. ,| so it is a mistake to try to stop your'boy friend from bringing along ; his buddy. Don't out down on the visible supply of boys.

girls in sport clothes or dressed up depends upon how old he is and how sophisticated. 1f he is still in the hobbledehoy stage, he likes theon in sloppy clothes that are none too clean, because his taste is undeveloped and he feels more comfort- : able with them. But if he is old enough to know what's what, he likes to i be seen out with a girl who is all dolled up and looking her best.

DEAR NfISs DIX: I am a woman with two small children and am expecting another. I do all of my housework and. in addition, am in ‘ very poor health. I have a friend who knows all of this. yet she makes a regular habit of bringing her baby and dumping him on me to take care of. How should I go about telling this friend that I cannot keep

her baby? A TIRED AND SICK MOTHER

ANSWER: Your case calls for no diplomacy. What you need is a little backbone. Tell this alleged “friend", who is nothing but. a dead- beat, that you are not running a day nursery. and that you positively refuse to take care of her baby. while she go*s gndding.
