my name from his list.
"On a recent afternoon, when
the out-of-doors offered all the
temptations of a fall day, I tele-
phoned him and asked him If he
would like to accompany me and
a group of friends on a drive to
the country. He refused. In sup
port of his refusal, he offered an
obviously 'concocted on the-spot'
excuse. I have not heard from
him since.
DO you think telephone call,
appropriately timed. suggesting an
explanation Of his attitude, would
label me chaser? M. H. S."
Telephone, if you can't restrain
that impulse, but please don't Sug-
geSt explanations which are dyna-
mite, generally speaking. The
young man was under no obliga-
ton to accept your invitation. He
has really nothing to explain.
The Right Girl
Dear Miss Fairfax:
when I was 16 years old, my
first love affair developed-then
she moved away. During the years
that followed, I've tried to become
interested with many, many girls,
but my trouble is I always tire
of them after a while.
do you think this first love
affair could be at the bottom of
this difference? Music interests
me greatly, and I have other act
ivities. Still, I'd like to have girl
friend. I'm 19. N"
At 10, do not despair of finding
a congenial friend. With most of
us, friendship l. a case of trial
and error. And your interest in
music should certainly help you
find a kindred soul.
He Returns
Dear Miss Fairfax:
MY girl friend went with him
during the summer, and when he
met me, he stopped going with
her. This girl told him 1 was lots
younger than 1 really am, so he
wouldn't ask me for a date.
"A couple of months later he
found out how old 1 am, he in
vited me out, and we have kept
frequent company since.
Il have considered seriously
whether I ought to go out with
him, but as he doesn't like my girl
friend any more, and both of us
like each other, 1 don't think it
matters very much. Do you think
it is all right for us to enjoy each
others company? JULIA"
AS youth seems to be at dis
advantage in your group-your
friend telling the boy you were
lots younger than you really are
I take it that you are probably all
in high school, where strings"
are not too binding as to dates.
Go out with the young man by
all means.
How divine it must be, when a
disparaging friend tells a boy you
are a lots younger than you really
are,

Added Spice to Ale

Ale in England is the time
honored Christmas drink. In halls
decorated with mistletoe, laurel,
and holly, Wassailing songs we're
most appropriate. On these oc-
casions of festivity, healths we're
drunk and much merriment made.
Spices were added to the ale in
those days to prevent it from
molding and improve its flavor.

) We chose that for a dessert,
and there was a perfect winter
color scheme and brown.
So we centered the table with
sunny yellow flowers in a brown
bowl.
A smart hotel serves baked
Alaska in orange cups at very
special parties. But don't, from
that, get the idea they're tricky.
For they're literally "easier than

There's the toilet goods counter,
for instance. You can find filters
for all people, of all ages, and
all types. Soaps are nice for
everybody, if you know what they
like. Nearly all grown-ups love
fine toilet soaps, and one to
three cakes tucked into the stock
ing gives it bulk as well as
fragrance.
Soap Menagerie
For children there are the most
adorable soap animals and
people. Nearly all the favorite
comedy characters from the
funny papers can be found in
Soapy form, Popeye, Mickey
Mouse, and SO on. not to
mention the Three Little Pigs,
the Silly Symphonies, penguins,
dolls, Dionne quintupletS, a Sextet
of Santas, Noah's Ark, Humpty-
Dumpty, and what not. They're
not expensive, some come in
attractive boxes, or you can buy
them separately.
A luxury for grown-ups who
like to take showers Is a soap
ball on a cord, which you put
around your neck. There's no
cropping for the soap, no step
ping on it to endanger your life.
Dressing Table Gifts
Cosmetics, sets of powder puffs,
perfumes in small but pretty
bottles, atomizers, attractive lip
sticks, dressing table accessories
such as bottles and boxes, gift
sets of cosmetics or makeup. =.
and so on, almost without limit,
you can find things that will
delight feminine hearts.
Men will appreciate small
things from the toilet goods de.
partment too. There is special
perfume for men these days, and
they all love shaving lotions, nice
soaps, shaving bowls and what
not. They might even like one
of the new electric razors. A
new, fine brush might be a happy
gift, even an excellent hand brush.
For Busy Women
But to pass on hastily, much
too quickly to list all the good
we come to the no.
ton counter. There will you find
sewing accessories that we all
love, little sets for travelling, for
the woman who SewS a great deal,
or for those who are merely be-
ing introduced to the art. There
are innumerable little household
gadgetS that we never think of
buying but would love to have,
boxes for stockings (too big for
a stocking, perhaps), desk acces-
SorieS, and so on.
Artificial flowers for a lady'S
lapel, gardenias preferred might
be nice gift, but be sure she
will wear them. Small packages
Of candy, of preserved ginger, ash
trays and other smoking acceS-
sorieS, initials for her handbag,

Shopping For
Christmas
By DONNA GRACE

Along with the delightful an
ticipation of the festive holiday
season, isn't it true that too
many of us find it rather try
ing time?
We begin to feel that we will
never be able to do the things
we plan, along with all our other
responsibilities, and it is so de-
pressing.
This annual worry begins about
the first of December and becomes
more acute every day until we
have finished our shopping list
and have every gift on its way
and that blessed time-for most
Of us-iS usually Christmas Eve.
We are so exhausted over the
strain of it all that we may feel
there is not so much to this holi-
day business after all. There is
one thing of which we are sure,
and that is-we are going to shop
early next year! Never again will
we be obliged to rush into the
mad whirl of last minute shop
pers.
We make some fine resolutions,
but-somehow, as soon as the
holidays have passed, we forget
all about them-and so, here we
are again!
Fortunately, there is still time
for us to finish everything in a
day or so, if we will just sit down
and make a complete list Of every
thing we need. Prepare your list
carefully to avoid wasting time
and energy.
Do all the shopping for the
men and boys at one time, as
they are usually in one section OF
the store. Then, when you buy
your fancy things, complete that
list for every one before you do
anything else, unless you find the
things you need all close at hand.
Toilet goods and fitted cases
are always correct as gifts, and
every girl loves them. There are
never too many bottles of per
fume. 1t is no great strain on
your allowance to buy some OF
the very best grades now, since
you may find three or four tiny
bottles of the favorite scents in
smart little boxes that any girl
would adore-and from 81 up.
The little college girl will be
satisfied with all the new powders,
makeup, creams and perfumes
you can give her, and she would
love a smart fitted evening bag,
too.

manufacturers have marvellous

made up especially for men.

Massage Aids
Baby Ills
By LOGAN CLENDENING, NJ. D.

BY LOGAN CLENDEN1NG, M. ID.
Massage manipulation, and rub
bing of different parts of the body
is one of the most valuable meth
ods of treatment.
We depend too often on medi-
cines or diet, when forms OF treat.
ment of this kind would be more
beneficial.
For those who can afford it, it
is always better to have one skilled
in this method do the work, but
where this is not feasible, it is
not difficult to learn to do rude
kind of massage on oneself and
reap at least partial benefit.
We can't massage ourselves all
over; for instance, we can't mas
sage ourselves for a backache, but
we can in those cases teach some
other member of the household
to do it.
In classical procedure there are
four kinds of massage: one is
called "effleurage," stroking; sec
ond is friction" pressing; third is
''petriSsage," kneading, and fourth
is "tapotement," hacking, clap
ping, striking and vibrations.
The trained maSSeur usually
does these procedures in succession
on any particular part.
Feet Need Massage
In these winter days, when the
feet are exposed not only to the
ordinary strain of standing and
walking, but also to extreme
changes in temperature and
drenching WetneSS, we should note
how much stress has been put on
the importance of massage of
the feet. 1t goes back long way
into antiquity, and the first rec
ord of massage is q bas-reliet
showing Ulysses, after he re-
turned to Ithaca, being rubbed by
a faithful servant in order to rest
his travelworn feet. The story is
told in the nineteenth book Of
The Odyssey"
The Chinese make it a rule to
have a guests feet massaged and
anointed as soon as he enters the
house, in order to rest him from
his travels.
Well, the lesson is that we can
all reach our feet and massage
them and thus make ourselves
more comfortable and healthy.
Questions From Readers
B. R. E.: "Is beer allowed in a
diet of a diabetic patient?"
Answer: Recent studies by Chi

there are about 18 grams of car
bohydrate in 12-ounce bottle of
beer. Alcohol has been shown by
many workers to be well tolerated
by the diabetic and does not form
sugar. Beer, therefore, when its
carbohydrate content is Substi-
tuted for other carbohydrate foods
shows no effect, either harmful
or beneficial, in a diabetic diet.

NEW YORK, January 30.-Steel
production has attained a new peak,
at Sc per cent Of capacity, said Iron
Age today in its weekly summary.
This is a gain Of Az points over last
weeks ratio and is the. highest rate
since last June.
There Is as yet little disposition to
look for an early recession in steel
works operations" asserted the re-
view, although it is conceded that
further gains may not carry output
more than S TO 10 points higher.
This year there has been much less
speculative buying of iron and steel
than year ago. Moreover, the auto
mobile makers, as well as the farm
equipment industry and various mis-
cellaneous lines of manufacture, are
apparently headed for the highest
operations in four or five years.
Steel output is up points to 42
per cent at Pittsburgh, 8 points to 81
per cent at Chicago, l point to SO per
cent in the Philadelphia district, 8
points to 46 per cent at Buffalo, "a
points to 100 per cent at Detroit and
4 points to 90 per cent in the South
Operations are unchanged at 95 per
cent in the Wheeling district, SO per
cent in the valleys and 81 per cent
in the Cleveland-Lorain area.
After remaining stationary for
three weeks, the Iron Age composite
price for scrap steel was lowered this
week to $12.l7 ton from $12.33
The finished steel and pig iron aver
ages were unchanged"

tative estimate sets foreign sales Of
American planes and engines last
year at $4,000, 900, or about 40 per
cent above the 1888 figure. Aviation
men are inclined to attribute the
improved sales abroad to a large
extent to the excellent performance
records turned by American trans
port planes recently, particularly in
the London-to-Australia air race last
October.
r Transport Men Hopeful.
Even the air transport organiza-
tions see hopeful features in their
outlook. The low level Of airmail
pay, aviation experts say, continues
to result in operating losses for most
Of the lines. 1t is pointed out. how
ever, that traffic continues to hold
up or increase moderately, that air
express Is beginning to assume some
importance as o revenue producer
and is growing very rapidly.

may offer some more satisfactory So
luton Of the airmail problem, it is
hoped by leaders Of the industry.
