A time of good food. good cheer. interesting conversav tion. with never a sulky face or a frown. No matter how "good" the food may be. how perfect its cooking. no meal can be happily digested if quarrelsome. worri- some. nagging dispositions steal the show. This week let's arrange spring flowers on our dining tables. and choose springtime foods. or gar-- nish year-round foods with a springtime touch. DINNER FOR.

Let's hope this will inspire other underweight: to give the Grade A Nutrition Menus a chance. All thin girls inter- ested. tune in . . , Many of you complain of a "fil- led up" feeling early in the meal. So often the cause is tension. The ' E becomes restricted at the top, resulting in a feeling of fullness, Frequently this is the Insult of going past the regular meal hour. Although the need for food is there. with the edge off your appetite. you cannot force yourself to eat. Regularity of meal hours encourages normal appetite. When forced to post- pone the meal hour, have some- thing particularly appealing. and eat leisurely. Mealtime should be a happy interlude in the day's activities. The tense working girl is inclin- ed to take her work with her right along to lunch . . . leaning forward to make a, point even before she orders food, and talk- ing intently straight through the second cup of black coffee! There is nothing to be gained by this pattern . . . except ulcers. Why not organize a society for the pre- vention of shop talk at lunch? Relax . you will find meal- time more enjoyable. and life more Interesting, Homemakers need to relax at lunch too. If you're the type who tends to do "just one more thing" befora stopping to eat. deliberate- H. Thin Girls Are Gaining By ldn Jean Kain ly break that pattern.

Gaining menus should be plan- ned around the protective foods which furnish tissue-building mat- erials and nurtients that aid as- similation. Make sure to include these foods daily: Three glasses of whole milk as a beverage or in food; an egg; a liberal serv- ing of meat. fish or fowl. with liver or other meat organs the choice at least once a week; a dark green or yellow vegetable. plus other cooked and raw veget- ables; a citrus fruit or juice; whole grain or enriched cereal: plus bread and butter.

But now I know I must learn to live the rest of my life with Jim as he is. or face the cold world alone - which I. am totally unprepared to do. Being from an underprivileged family I didn't finish high school. Jim has been a good provider. .and. the children (now married; and I always had food and cloth- ing - although at times I had dif- ficulty getting the latter. For some peculiar reason Jim felt it more important to have a house- ful of furniture than to own a pair of socks without holes. Now with our house hall paid for, and more margin for saving and spending. you might think we could relax and get more pleasure able than ever. When the children were here we couldn't afford .a car: and now that we can. Jim says he never expects to own one -"They're too expensive." he puts it. So my hope of going out in a car of our own is shattered. Did They Ever Love Each Other?

Not Uncommon Marriage Crisis DEAR R. l!'.: It seems you were a bride at 18, and you've been married 24 years. which puts your age at about 42 - a com- paritively youthful age nowadays.

As Jim's attitude won't yield to a direct appeal to reason. you face a challenge to grow in spite of the obstacle he poses. How do this? By acting to make the best of your situation, not leaning limply towards him for leadership or fellowship, Jim's pennypinch psychology is a blend of selfishness and anxiety. it reflects defensiveness and pea- simism carried over from a cheer- less hildhood and youth. Don't fight it; but don't let your spirit be broken by it. If you haven't a car in which to get around. re- member there are other modes of transportation: 1. Walking. a splendid tonic for mind and body. 2, Streetcar, taxi and bus in the city from which you write. 3. Trains and buses for cross-coun- try travel. also planes for those who prefer.
