season. 0-Please give me a good
doushnut recipe. Happy Mother.
W-Most mothers are now making
the dresses short for quite Young,
much worn. Skirts are draped. Neck
may be high or low. and sleeves short

will roll out nicely without sticking.

grease. This makes about "a dough-
nuts.

ments you may have; piano bench and

polished. with only one or two small

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My neck, shoul-
dels. bust and hips are SO thin. l am a
young; woman and have no bust at all. I
have tried everything that seemed sensi-
Bile and harmless and nothing has done
me a bit of good. 1t certainly is unnat-
ural and there must be some remedy. i
am taking olive oil and grape juice twice
II day. Will that help me to gain flesh? I
am 10 pounds u~nderweight. L..
When u mothers scrubbed floors. they
had beautiful neck, shoulders and bust.
We are too heightened to scrub floors
these days. but we might go through the
motions OF u knees, first opening the
windows and learning to breathe deep
through the nose, not the mouth. Rowing
is AN excellent exercise for this, too,
though of course one can't very we'll row
a boat in winter time. All outdoor exer-
else. which means deep breathing. will be
beneficial.
Perhaps you sew or read a great deal.
Or sit at your work. Make up your mind
that you must hold you chin high. must
breathe clear down to the bottom of your
lungs. must sit straight, must occasionally
stand up and stretch yourself, and must
swing your arms when you walk. The
olive oil and grape juice do no harm. but
.,,~ NE mott that Vnys11 ON
plenty of nour;shing food will be better.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two girls
of % and go round quite a bit and have
good times. We seem to be very popular,
but it seems we never IAN get a fellow.
Other giTlA who go around with us occa-
sionally have steady fellows and they
don't seem to be as popular or as jolly as
we are. Do you think We will be old
maids? Is there any harm in being an old
maid? People are calling us old maids al
ready. Two Pals.
My dears, I'd rather be a fairly well
contsnted old maid than an unhappy wife.
It's far better to wait for a good man than
to take any kind of a man who happens
to. show up. even If you wait all your life.
l believe in marrying when you can mar
~ the right sort. but in being a happy old
maid IL you can't. Perhaps you are too
jolly. Be a little more in earnest and give
the fellows o chance to be sentimental
without being slushy, OF course.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a young
girl and very feshy. Would you please
tell me something that will make me thin
Will il also make the bust small?
Fat Girl.
Some girls are Just naturally fat and
il seems they can do nothing at all to get
thin. Perhaps as YOU get older you will
grow thinner. Meantime. make up yoNy
mind TO always eat less than you think
you want. Eat no sweets or pastries or
fats. Exercise a lot until you perspire
