 1 This is an acute, infectious, catch 1 ing" disease in which the partid gland | (just in front of and below the ear) is swollen and 1nflamed. The match ing'' period is about, 14 days, during which the child may be slightly fever ish and chilly by turns, have little ap- petite and be langourous.
 Then comes the invasion, with the high fever, perhaps up to 103 degrees headache and vomiting and the swell ing mentioned, which lasts about week and may interfere with chewing, swallowing and speaking Often ca tarrh of the nose and throat goes with this inflammation. The generatfve organs in either sex are often invol- we'd, making future steri1ity possible. Many people think humps trifle, but no one can agree to this when one considers the possible complications Therefore a good family doctor should always be in charge.
 We isolate the child for two weeks, keep away visitors (the bane of the sickroom and the reason for many cases of prolonged sickness and un- necessary added suffering) put the child on a liquid diet starting with 1-1o grain of calornel every hour until the bowels move freely. Give eff ne- cessary for pain or distress) one grain of phenacetine to an infant and two grains to a child every two hours and keep an ice bag or belladonna oint- ment over the swelling.
 If the nose is stopped up, syringe it out with solution of 1-2 teaspoon full of salt to tumblerfu1 of water as warm as can be borne; and drop once a day by means of a medicine dropper, into each nostril, one drop of 10 per cent. solution of argyro1-

WHEN YOU DINE OUT

l You want to look your best at all ! times, of course, but when you dine out, you want to look particularly
 well! One woman said that there was | never a time like dinner time for in- specting other women-it's so easy to | sit and look hard and criticize, while all the other women are placed there | at tables for leisurely inspection. I never thought about it that way be- fore, but I think she may be right. In any case, when you dine out you want to be extra careful about your | hair and your hands. If a suit has | old fashioned lines it won't show so | much because you are seated. If your shoes aren't as smartly new as you
 could wish them to be, you have the comforting knowledge that your feet are tucked out of sight under a table. But from your head to your waist, you are in the lime1ight."
 Nowadays, of course, it isn't correct to take off the coat of the suit except | at home-heavens knows how these conventions are made, but there they are and we must conform to them. In this case, it's a saving in blouses | anyway, for it's good form to wear a sleeveless vestee with net or mus lin back under the suit coat. All the expense of the blouse may then be | lavished on the real lace of the vestee | which. incidentally, any woman can make.
 The hair, showing under the hat, | must be perfectly dressed, a hair net will take care of loose wispy ends. The nails must be perfectly mani cured, for the hands show most prom | inently at dinner. Gloves are a par l ticu1ar1y important item too-but l then gloves always are a particularly | important item in a woman's ward | robe. They should be fresh and beau | tifu11y clean.

I believe he is right in feeling as he does, but since he de- nies you pleasure in that form, he should make up for 1t in some other way You should be taken to movies and other places by your father him self or by other elder members of the family. Your girl friends would like to go along too, and you could have good time together in a better way than going alone.
 Probably you are shy about speak ing to your boy friends and they have felt you were reluctant about speak ing Since it is your place to speak first, you should do so and I am sure the boys will respond.
 You should not worry about getting boy friends, because it is their place to seek you. To make more girl friends is something entirely within vour power. Probably you wait for girls to seek you and you do not make with them In order to make friends YOU will have to take active inter est in the young people you like.
