Today, because cancer of the Jreast. if discovered early. can be cured in the majority of cases by operation. physicians and surgeons advise women to examine their breasts and if they feel a lump or the nipple is tilted or changed in my way, to consult their physician at once.

Legalities may be needful steps for validating the "legacy." or old peo- ple may offer some opposition or want of co-operation. Placate them. For the Birthday Those whose birthday it is may find their affairs held up by the intervention of elders or perhaps old established institutions. And while attempts may be made to break wills, or arrest the smooth running of recent gifts. windfalls or inherilances. it may be desirable to keep all disbursements and al- locations under rigid legalities and procedures that may not be con- tested or controverted. safeguard against curious tactics or collusion.

If I am sta:trinegI(I:i'it.witohMaIIi'1:t:lr?m:IIliIt of money, I have a habit of marking each price on the package so I can keep account of how much I am spending. A few weeks ago I did thll. and the manasei-hung over the railing as I went through :11: clheclklnlg line. A friend accompanying me said this was un lmun ll 3 0" dnt 10 back However. I wanted the manager to know I was innocent of any cheating, and I continued to patronize the store. At one time. the cashier leaned over to look in my pocketbook I realized then it was time to change my market: Later. at is nearby store, the manager came up and watched the checker go over the purchases. It hap- pened again in still another store. ' I have never had the slightest suspicion cast on my honesty-, and I deeply resent the doubts that seem to exist in the minds of these various store employees. I'd be willing to do anything to clear my name: DISTRESSED ANSWER: I cannot possibly imagine how such a state of affairs could have been brought about. Being a frequent shopper in super-markets myself, and as I also keep track of purchases. I know that the practice is approved by checkers rather than disapproved. It is a source of considerable annoyance to them for a purchaser to buy more than she can pay for, then have to have the entire order rearranged and rechecked while a long line of impatient customers awaits attention. Furthermore, every item in a large store is price-marked so clearly that there is no possibility of either you or the checker being intentionally dishonest. There must be some other reason for the managers' actions in your case-and, personally. I think you are probably the victim of an over-scrupulous conscience. The best way to clear up the matter to your satisfaction is to see the first manager. ask him exactly why he acted as he did and if his explanation leaves any doubt in your mind, see the managers of the other markets, too. Store employees are pretty good judges of character. and unless one's actions are definitely suspicious, they go about their appointed tasks with no doubts as to a person's honesty. I'm sure a frank dis- cussion with the people who are worrying you will convince you of their good intentions. Muriel Nluen DEAR MISS DIX: I am very much in love with a man of 28. ten years older than I am. We have never been on a date together, though I see him quite often. The trouble is he is a Iadies' man. How can I get him over that? Don't tell me to forget him because I have tried and can't. P. A. ANSWER: You will probably have no choice as far as forgetting the man is concerned. Apparently he is simply interested in adding you to his collection of ladies and has no intention of becoming serious about you. Why waste your time and love. on someone who is so com- pletely unavailable? All you are doing is building a day dream out of nothing. A more wasteful procedure is impossible. Stop it! DEAR MISS DIX: I have .a boy friend whose father owns a truck. When my friend gets the truck he doesn't come to see me. I like him a lot, and he likes me, but he will not keep a date if he has a chance to drive the truck. 3. J. L. ANSWER: Girls compete with many things for the affection: of an adolescent male. You have come up against some of the stiffest competition there ls-anything on wheels that has a motor. From a scooter to a plane. teen-age boys will put the machine before a girl in most cases. As ynur friend grows older, the truck will lose much of its appeal, and you'll have your chance for first place. I l vs-vs. Morning Smile His Exercise ”, noheru L” ouseliold Scrapbook?
