Answer--I. never tell readers the

physician the symptoms.

reduce and would thank you for q
ticket Of admission to the Karell
club. Can you recommend any ex-
ercises to reduce the hips and the
abdomen? MISS p. G.
Answer-You are one reason why
I insist on readers mentioning age,
height and weight whom they re-
quest advice about reduction, un-
less they can use the title Of Mrs.,
In which case no such data are re-
quired. The ideal or perfect wom-
an is five feet five inches tall and
weighs 1873 pounds at age IS. You
have arrived at the ideal proper
tions a little earlier than most OF
your sisters, but be it soa ne'er q
hint Of reduction will you get from
the conductor of this column.
can't for the life of me understand
why perfectly proportional young
women yearn to initiate animated
clothes racks or those attenuated
l figures on which the fashion design
! ers hang the latest freak apparel
I'll be glad to send you some ex.
ercises to. keep you in good condi'
ton and oppose any tendency to.
wards corpulence, but not q WORD
about reduction. The average OF
ideal weight for a girl of 20, 81
inches tall is 127 pounds, but up tt
139 pounds she still comes within
/ the permissible ten per cent e1
cess weight and that amount Of su
|perfiuous flesh in a young person

SHOTSIE.
You have certainly been sinned
against BY q man who pretended to
love you. Perhaps he did think his
feeling was love, but it was a low
order Of love or he would have
wanted to protect you against

You must know in your heart
that you are wrong in keeping up a
correspondence with a married
man. q father of Children. Either
write to him at once and tell him
you can no longer keep up a rela-
ttonship with him and ask for the
return Of your picture, or stop
writing without any explanation
and let him keep the picture.
II you expect happiness In life
you must be true and honorable
and not carry on relationship
with another woman's husband
which you would not be willing to
have another girl carry on with
your husband.

was about ten minutes. / did NO,

The older woman should not have
Interrupted your meal by stoppins
to talk. It would have been ali
right for her to pass a few word,
With you, but to stand and talk wal
thoughtless. It would have beer

Bringing up children is problem to all parents.
 The character of child is moulded principally its younger years and seldom leaves the pathway it has been eadng those.
 It IS made broken by it's parents.
 Some parents always kind to their children but firm in sng upon implicit obedience The world full of such child grown manhood and they dominating the really important affairs of the world.
 Other parents weak and vacilatng They wheede and threaten-but punish They not obeyed and often defied The world also peoped with these children Much of the peopng is within the four walls of jail a penitentary.
