 Dear Mrs.. Thompson: I used to nave a boy friend who has had my
 ring and I have had his for almost a
 year, but I don't know how to ask for it without hurting his feelings
 Should I give back his ring if he gives me mine?

 out the supper to our partner?
 3. What should we do after the supper has been eaten? TWO. BLACK EYED GIRLS

 olives, cake and fruit are usually
 most suitable for box supper. Make the sandwiches dainty by cutting each full sized sandwich in two or three parts. Six full sized sand 1 wiches are ample to serve two peo- pie. Either hard boil or devil the

MY MOST EMBARRASSING
 MOMENT

Many of the daily papers conduct a column called My most embarrassing moment Let us have some fun. There is no class of people who have more embarrassing moments than fat folks.
 Send me a brief account of yours. Sign a pen name if you like For a starter here Is mine-(of course you have divined before this that one req son I know so much about this sub ject is because I have been a member of the f. f. myself):
 Some years ago when I was about 50 pounds overweight, and prided myself that because I was tall and well proportioned looked stately rather than fat, I was waiting on the third floor of an office building for the elevator to take me to the sixth floor.
 pressed the up button, and the car, which was rather full, stopped. No one got out and I got on. The operator shut the door and pushed the lever of the car. No response. Back and forth he pushed. Pushed yer.
 A fairly heavy, gracious gentleman said he would get out, and did so. Business of. trying to get the car to go up again. \ But no results. Still another gracious gentleman vo1un- teered tO tighten the load, and he also got out. Did the car then go? It did not. By this time the occu- pants were smiling fully and begin ming to give audible evidence of inter ested amusement Flushing, but game. I said with a wan smile that I would get out.
 The car shot up. To the accom- paniment of imbeci1ic laughter, if the loud laugh does bespeak the vacant mind.
 It was embarrassing, rather But it was invaluable. Stately? Hardly! I reduced.

 you diet to consume and desolve your fat, you execrise to give tone to and strengthen your flabby muscles. to better oxygenate and accelerate the blood so that it can wash out the tis- sues, to stimulate the internal secre- tions which have perhaps been under active, to invigorate the central ner- vous system and to help break down the fat. I have said that very fully but not well. However, you get mel. I mean that It is highly important to have some good vigorous exercise every day. Any system of reduction that does not build up the whole system and make one feel better while do , ing it, not a good system.
 The more you can exercise the better, but 10 to 5 minutes of sys- tematic, vigorous exercise a day will do the wock-
 Any saeAing-up (the A E. F. called them up-settfng) exercises will do The magazines and the daily papers frequently give good articles on ex- ercising. Everyone knows what the setting-up exercises are. See your doctor if you are very fat; perhaps you should not exercise too strenu- ously.
 Begin gradually and increase your activity slowly, or you will suffer. Swimming is the best al1-round eXer- else, but not all can avail themselves of that. Golf is excellent. Walking with a long. brisk stride is wonder fully good, but unfortunately a large number of overweight people have serious trouble with their feet. Flat feet are not at all uncommon am ong them. I shall talk of the mechani- cal devices for reducing in the next article.
