Since, in this case, two girls would be going together. there isn't as much objection to the idea as there might be oth- EYWISE. A girl who wants to live in a big city just for a good time is. however. going to be mighty dis. illusioned. A city can be a lonesome place for a stranger. But. if she has a definite goal in mind, ' such as a profession to pursue, or if she is an in- ordinately capable girl who feels she can make a success in the busi- ness world. she can be given a green light to go ahead and at least make the attempt. Most of the career women in any city are re- cruited from small towns. or at least smaller cities. "It is true in New York. for instance, that in any gathering of successful business or professional girls. a native-born New Yorker is sufficiently scarce as to excite animated curiosity. ' Before leaving home. your friends should have some idea of their immediate prospects. They should at least have a place to live, and a. Job, too. if possible, waiting for them. If their purpose is to con- tinue education. plans along that line should be made ahead of time. Emphaticnlly. they should not leave home without making some of "1959 DF6Pl1FMI9n5- They should lilso have enouizh money to carry them -for a while in case a job doesn't work out according to ex- pectations.

Then, of course, it can be as glamorous as anticipated.

DEAR MISS DIX: My 29-year-old sister is very imnuiiiire fori her age. Sim is going with a man of unsavory nnd qiiesiionaiilei reputation, who refuses to work. and is 7 years her junior. She. isn't in love with him. but is so desperately afraid she'll remain siiigiey that she clings to this man in spite of all efforts on the part of her, family to dissuade her. Her failure to attract men up to now was due to a moody and unpleasant disposition. AGATHA i ANSWER: Your sister needs the expert attention of a psychia- trist, and I suggest that your parents see that she gets it. Being sol attracted to. and dependent upon. a man of instability can lead her, to tragedy. He certainly is not a person to assume the responsibility of a wife and family. but his promise to do so can easily break down the thin moral fibre of a girl as susceptible as your sister. DEAR MISS DIX: I am a girl of 20 with a regular bean in service. i really like him. we write frequently to each other and when he is home he spends most of his time at my house or asks me to his. My problem is that when he isn't home. his brother dates me and is now becoming very Jealous. KITTY ANSWER: Simply drop the brother and your problem i4 ss....i. Your present dating status is going to result in someone being hurt. and I can assure you it won't be the young brother. Alice Brooks Designs i-aivrv man: 2 Dainty as snowflake!

In the Journal oftha American Medical Association, Dr.. Arthur M Master. New York. states that "one should not consider functional dis- turbances (aymptoms present but not due to organic disease) unim- portant merely because they are not due to organic disease. Too often the mental and physical dis- tress caused by functionai heart disease results in either partial or total disability. and too often it causes a disruption of the family and social life of the patient." Instead of calling these symp- toms a functional disease, they should be called a functional dis- turbance as the word disease tends to aggravate the mental and ner- vous strain under which such pat- ients are living. Figures from outstanding heart specialists. Drs. Paul D. White and H. R. Craig. report. a series of 3.6”) cases showing liear: symptoms of which 579 (l9.351.) were found to have "unimportant. functional cir- culatory abnormalities." - . These "abnormalities" were in many cases caused entirely by nerves. nervousness or emotional disturbances. such as an extra beat of the heart. harmless murmurs. very rapid heart-beat (tachycardia). Al for back as 1936, Dr. F. Jukes, in the Ohio Medical Journal re- ported on 300 patients who had consulted him for heart disease. One hundred and fourteen of them (38 per cent) showed no organic disease. In the present study (8,000 cases) 88.2 per cent showed no organic disease. In I937, Dr. W. C.

What should be the attitude of those who think they have heart disease? They either have or have not heart disease: a heart examin- ation will tell the story. If no heart disease is present.they can have peace of mind; if heart disease be present. they can learn from the physician how to live safely with their heart disease. Dr.. Master suggests that the treatment of these cases with func- tional disturbances of the heart should be carefully studied by phy- sicians as so much distress can ba removed-and useful lives length- ened.
