CURRENT DRAMA
REVIEWED FOR THE
DELPHTAN GROUP

Elizabeth the Queen, the IA
nous drama in blank verse writ
ten by Maxwell Anderson and one
of the successes Of the current
Broadway season, was given yes
terday for the Delphians by Mrs.
Harrie Q. Wood. The meeting took
place at the home of Mrs. Howard
P. Meyer, $40 Wensley avenue.
The play, which has been pro-
duced by the Theatre Guild, star
ring Lynne Fontanne and Alfred
Lunt. is soon to come to Los An
geles where many are already look
ing forward to seeing it.
Beautifully written, with drama
tic scenes of intense interest, the
drama is concerned with the love
affair between Elizabeth and Es-
sex, of the court intrigues which
resulted in undermining Essexs
favor with the queen while he was
in Ireland, of his return under ar
rest and his final execution, Eliza
beth being unable to surrender any
OF her power and prestige in spite
of her love for Essex.
Mrs. Wood gave a splendid re-
view which was thoroughly en-
ioyed by the members of the So
ciety, her descriptions of the gorg-
eous settings and staging of the
play adding to the interest Of the
drama itself.

WITH fashions more feminine"
W than they have been in years.
many woman is longing for
suggestion of curve or a dimple.
The person who has kept herself
slender by means of restricted diet
ing can add her pounds as she will,
but the girl who is just naturally
too thin has a different problem.
Underweight is seldom wholly a
matter of diet. although the other
causes usually go hand in hand
with faulty food habits of some
sort.
The person who is underweight
from some obscure physical cause,
mental conflict or overwork faces
a different problem than the one
who is thin because of faulty food
habits.
The underweight who has no ap-
petite should select foods which
will stimulate desire Tor food.
Lack of appetite and small con-
sumption of food usually goes with
small stomach capacity. As the
appetite increases and the amount
of food eaten each meal increases
The capacity of the stomach for
food increases with the inevitable
reaction of a natural desire for
food. In other words the first
thing the too-thin person must do
is TO actually stretch her stomach.
Maybe Sleep Is Needed
The person who is thin due TO
an inordinate amount of activity
in proportion TO his physical abil-
ity to hold food enough to main
tain the activity and at the same
time gain in weight must increase
his sleep rest periods.
Then there are the underweights
who have the appetite and the de-
sire to gain but who do not eat the
right foods. Milk. which is so val
liable rs food. can be taken in
many forms-hot, cold, with add
ed cream or milk. sugar, or both.
in cocoa and chocolate. in eustards.
sherbets. and ice creams and as
buttermilk and is one of the easiest
foods to add to the diet.
The following suggestions are
specific and will form working
basis for those underweights
whom the dietician can help.
Fruits and fruit juices, succu-
lent vegetables. yeast breads and
meat broths stimulate the appe-
tite. These foods make a perfect
elimination, which is essential for
good health before a gaining diet
can be considered.
Plenty of good, wholesome food
normally required by everybody
must be supplied before adding the
so-called "fattening" foods. The
Imperial Valley press., 1931-03-19

brought in. Mid-morning and mid
afternoon lunches are an easy way
10 increase the food intake. a
glass of milk or egg nog just be-
fore going to bed is often effective.
However. in the zeal to add fats
and carbohydrates to ones diet,
care must be taken to prevent
stomach upsets. One of the safest
ways TO add fats is in the season
ing of vegetables, serving cream
with the breakfast cereal, using
desserts which combine cream with
fruit, and using extra bread and
butter. Milk and eggs are fatten.
ing and, if plenty of fresh yege-
tables and fruits are used, can be
included in a gaining . diet in
abundance. A quart of milk 4 day
in place of the usual pint for an
adult. an extra egg, salted nuts, a
piece of candy after luncheon or
dinner. an extra pat of butter at
each meal. these together with
larger proportions of food gener-
ally will bring about an appreci-
able gain in weight for the too-thin
person.
Gentle exercise, in the fresh air
and plenty of sleep will insure
good healthy flesh under a clear
complexion if the background of a
correct diet has been furnished.
