"oh." Theresa sasped. and again, "oh!"
 "Ye gods, Terry" Marge survey. ed her roommate In genuine alarm
 "Since when did a letter from that long-lost Prince Charming of yours start having this effect?" Terry sank down in a heap on the overstuffed and rolled her great china-blue eyes helplesgly. "Oh,
 Marge, whatll I do? What will do" ] Marge jumped up in exaspera- ton Good grief! Cut out the melo-
 matics and tell me what's wrong,
 Has he got typhoid fever or is he going to get married?"
 Terry's round, pink cheeks as she read 1t. It's too terrible! He .
 he's coming home!" The words ended in a vail and Terry buried her face in her handkerchief and wept nosily.
 Marge snatched the letter and read 1t hastily. well, girlie, you've got me. Here for three years you've been raving about this egg--telling me how grand he is and how much you love him and how much he loves you. Lord, I thought you'd be tickled, pink to see him and here you're busting into tears. I don't make it out!"
 Terry sat up, wiped her eyes and blew her nose. ooh, but Marge," i" she gulped. "Look-look at mel"
 "I'm looking, kid, and there's plenty of you to look at, I'll ad- init, but what has that got to do with it?"
 Terry started to sob again. Don't you get it, Marge? He never saw me like this. When he went out to California five years ago I only weighed no and now look at me. Just look at me 185 on the drug store scales yes- terday!"
 The sobs were threatening to be- come uncomfortable. "See his let ter. Marge? Dear Little Girl he calls me. That's the way he be- gins all his letters, Dear Little Girl.' Oh, can't let him see me like this I simply can't" Marge looked thoughtful. Let's see, now; according to his billet doux he'll get in a week from to- day She paused and |, short of a miracle could melt you Nope, it's impossible. Nothing hort of a miracle could melt you down seventy-fve pounds in that time."
 This declaration was greeted by a fresh outburst of tears. Don't say that, Marge. We gotta do some- thing. We gotta. Don't you under- stand what 1t means to me?"
 "Yeah, honey, I understand, but you should have thought of that about 967 hot fudge sundaes ago."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-02-22

For a week Terry lived on pine- apple and orange juice. She skip ped rope. She walked to and from the office where she worked. She steamed in every Turkish bath in town. And morning and night Marge pummeled and pounded her, and applied Browns Celebrated Roll-it-away' with a vegeance. The Roll-it-away was guaranteed to work wonders; and it did. It worked wonders-on Marge!
 On the morning of the sixth day Marge flung the thing in a corner. "rm through! she an- nounced, arms akimbo. Mot an- other roll. Look at me! Just look at me! Skin and bones. Me, who for days has been gulping choco- late malts and tapping up cod-ltver oil-look at me! Since started rollering you I've lost exactly six and three-Quarter pounds. And all for what? You've actually taken off one whole pound"
 Terry's tear-stained eyes looked disconsolately off into space. "Oh, Marge-do you think it hurts terribly to commit suicide?"
 "Humph" was the retort. I'll suicide you. You get into that ver-i tical stripped outfit picked out for you and trot down to the de- pot. If he really loves you, he'll love a few more pounds Of you too"
 Three o'clock found Terry in the almost deserted station. She cast longing eyes at the exit. but there was no hope of escape for Marge was militantly established out on the sidewalk.
 The train from California pulled in-and out again. No Harry! Ter rvs heart began to beat almost normally. Something had hap- pened and he wasn't coming after all. She breathed a gratifying sigh of relief and started triumph- antly for the gate and Marge. But turning suddenly. she bumped in- to man.
 On edge for a week. her temper gave way. What do you mean pumping into a girl like that! She berated him. "Why don't you look where you're ." She did not finish, for there was something vaguely familiar about the mans race.
 With mouth wide open, she stared and stared. The man stared back. Mentally she was counting his chins which were piled volum- inously one upon another :. one, two, three. Harry" she gasped.
 "Terry-little grill" he echoed.
 In a moment she was in his arms. Gee, I wouldn't have recos- nized you," she murmured. you're
 "Yeah," he interrupted, "Im such @ skinny little thing, eh!
 The both laughed.
 Three minutes later as, oblivlous to every one else, they passed Marge on the sidewalk, she eyed them archly and murmured: "Yeah. that boy Cupid sure knows his calories"

have dwindled to q tragic
minimum.
Some girls are so diabolically
adept in the wisdom of Eve that
they are able to mask their pur-
suit under a skillful camouflage
of indifference. This requires a
very high type of art.
Young ladies blessed with 1t
have learned to school their
emotions, never to show that
they feel neglected, that they're
jealous, or that their feelings
are hurt, as they stalk their
game.
They are like the hunters who
hunt for the joy of the chase
and are indifferent to fatigue
and disappointment If in the
long run they round up their
game.
Perhaps you may like to write
me and tell me what you think
of this business of women being
the pursued, rather than the
pursuerS. Or, if they wait to be
pursued, do they wait in vain?

Paints
Care
Necessary

Good furniture needs con-
slant care.
If any finish is to continue
to look it's best, it must be
carefully and wisely attended
to. All furniture should be dust
ed daily. If it has a wax fin
ish, use a waxed cheeSe-cloth
buster. If it has an oil finish,
the buster should be oiled. For
other types of furniture use the
so-called dustless busters.
You can make your own by
allowing goodly piece of
cheeSe-cloth to come in contact
with a film of liquid wax or the
very best furniture polish. To
do this, put two tablespoons OF
wax or polish in jar to coat
the inside. Pour out excess and
drop the cloth in, allowing it
to remain for a day or two.
The cloth will absorb the
moisture gradually, but will not
be too we'll filled; that is, it
will not leave greasy spots on
the furniture. Be very careful,
though, not to let the buster
come in contact with the wall
paper or it will leave a spot.
To correct minor faults, the
following are available:
Superficial Scratches r Id
with equal parts of boiled lin
seed oil, turpentine and white
vinegar.
Deep Scratches-Fill with a
paste composed of thick muci-
lage and coloring matter; for
instance, Venetian red for ma.
hogany, burnt lumber and Van
dyke brown for walnut and
burnt lumber and raw sienna for
oak.
Holes-Small deep holes
should be filled with stick shell
lac. Apply it while hot or melted
on the heated blade of a small
knife.
Cleaning-Badly soiled furni-
ture should be washed with a
mixture made as follows: l
quart of hot water, 3 table
spoons boiled linseed oil, table
spoon turpentine. Wet soft
cloth with the hot solution, ap-
ply and polish the piece with a
dry cloth.
White Spots: White spots
made by hot dishes or hot water
may be restored to the original
color by rubbing lightly with a
piece of flannel dampened with
spirits of camphor. Follow that
with the reviver that is best for
each particular piece. A drop or
two of ammonia on dampened
cloth may be used in place OF
camphor.

Fried Chicken
And Manners
CORRESPONDENTS BEECKMAN

ByMRS.C CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"My mother and / are going
to spend our vacation at an inn
on a beach in the South, where
fried chicken is a speciality.
Never having eaten fried chicken,
am somewhat doubtful on this
points it proper to eat it with
knife and fork, and if so, are
there exceptions when it is per-
Missile to pick it up with ones
fingers? M"
Even though you and your
mother are going to eat that
fried chicken ION the native
heath" for fried chicken, you'd
better eat it with the knife and
fork, as it should be eaten if
we wish to be considered care
full eaters.
Fried chicken, although the
most delectable of foods, certain
ly comes under the classification
of the "moist" foods that should
not be eaten in our fingers.
For what happens when we do
take a chicken leg, for instance,
in our fingers? Our fingers be-
come messy; our lips become
greasy, and wiping our fingers
on the serviette makes the servi-
cite unsightly.
And in the meantime at the
table or in the dining room
there will be well-bred guests
who won't be made too happy
at observing our un-neat and
untidy performance!

BIRTHDAY GIFT
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"Is it appropriate for a
young man, when invited to a
girls party, to take a gift? If
so, what would you suggest? 1t
is to be a birthday party and
the girl is going to be Is. My
two sisters are also invited.
Would it be all right to buy one
nice gift from all three of us, or
should each of us buy a Sepa-
rate gift?
GA"
The most appropriate thing
for you to do would be to send
this young lady a corsage on
the afternoon of her party, or
to take this when you go to the
party. Or a box of candy, if
you prefer. Then, your two sis
tiers might combine in giving
their present.
Or, of course, if you prefer,
you and your two sisters might
combine on a present.
Either plan is correct, but I
think that the 16-year-old girl
would be delighted to have a
corsage from you to wear to
her party-a corSage gives a
gala air to a party dress and to
birthday.
The Washington times., 1935-07-29

The doughty Max, responding
to that primitive law-going
back to the jungle-that men
should pursue and women be
pursued, promptly fell in love
with the young lady who re-
fused to pay any attention to
him.
AS told by him in an inter
view, the rest Of the girls in that
party were begging for auto
graphs, limiting for dates, and
growing lyric over their admir-
alton Of a man Of muscle; but
Miss Sullivan never batted an
eyelash toward the prize-fighter,
She sat on the opposite side of
the room, didn't look at him,
and let the other girls throw
the fits.
Max wasn't used to being
treated that way. He decided
to give this girl the "once-over,"
as an outstanding novelty in his
life Of continual conquests.

FeW Males

So he approached Miss Sulli.
can as a scientist approaches
a totally unknown specimen
one that he would give much
to add to his collection.
But Miss MARY, Mary, Quite
Contrary" didn't pay any more
attention to him then than
when the other girls were hold
ing joss-sticks under his nose.
You've all read about this
courtship, and how the former
champion had to work early and
late to make an impression.
The interesting moral to be
drawn from the Baer-SuIlivan
marriage is that men frequent.
~ like to do their own court
ing; that the ancient law al
ready referred to-pursuit by
the male-still holds good.
Who can blame girls for
taking the initiative in this
matter when the powers-that-be
all over the world rush into
wars which kill off men and
leave a restricted choice for
girls to marry? We have not
yet recovered from the shock of
the last war, which cost the race
thirty million men in killed,
wounded, and missing.
Small wonder that girls have
to turn in and do the counting
aSSiduouSly.
It is impossible to state at the
present time the exact number
of women to one man in this
country. Government agencies
in Washington are loath to give
out the figures. Statistics are
in course Of preparation" they
say.
Doubtless they're afraid the
girls would become too utterly
discouraged if they knew the
dreadful truth.
