Girls Sensible About Food
1t is surprising how sensible
young girls are about ordering their
meals Mrs Mary D. Bradshaw.
Butler University cafeteria manager
said today. They generally select
for their lunch vegetables or fruits,
and the lighter foods, which will rot
add weight. When they eat a sand
wich, l notice that the sandwich,
with drink, makes a complete
luncheon. While they are not diet
ing rlgidly, they certainly are watch
ing their calories."
But Miss Ruth Miller, dietitian at
L. S. Ayres 81 Co. tesroom smiles
when she thinks of the lunches that
shoppers select.
You should notice how often
women finish a meal with a request
for the end piece of fudge cake, with
NIlAEpSQ CI6dIll. she says.
The l6-day diet has been forgot
ten by practically all Indianapolis
matrons in the last two years, Miss
Miller says.
A Mild Spree
I'VE only have a few women who
order broiled lamb chops and raw
vegetable salad without dressing"
she says. Older women have be-
come convinced that reducing diets
are dangerous. Besides. when they
stop in here for lunch, they usually
are on sort of mild spree, and
they want good food"
If the girls were to try to explain
their reasons for lodging fattening
foods, they probably would point 10
the menus many of the motion pic
ture stars advocate. For in the am
billions of every modern girl, there
is a desire to look like some par
ticular actress
Mrs. Frances Edwards. Metro
GoldWyn-Mayer commisSary head,
has summed up the things she has
learned about proper diets from the
stars in six rules. Most of these
have been incorporated in the daily
schedule of many Indianapolis
girls.
Her Rules
Eat what you want but eat
sensibly," Mrs. Edwards says.
Always leave the table just a
little bit hungry.
Pass up those between meals
nibbles.
If you must have sweets, confne
them to twice or three times a week,
never every day.
Go easy, but by no means elimi-
nate entirely, bread, potatoes and
starches from your diet"
Mrs. Edwards substantiates these
rules by record of the regular star
luncheon menu. After the name of
Norma Shearer is the notation,
Two French lamb chops. Two
fresh vegetables, usually lima beans
and asparagus. Tea and buttered
toast"
Carlo Orders Vegetables
Greta Carlo orders, at least once
day raw vegetable plate, which
Mrs. Edwards says includes carrots,
peas, bean sprouts and other veg
etableS, grated.
Jean HarloW's favorite lunch is
vegetable broth with the vegetables
strained out. Sometimes she varies
it by ordering a fresh vegetable
salad, but at least five days out of
six she orders the special broth
Una MerkIe and Madge Evans are
close friends, and often lunch to-
gether. Madge eats club sandwiches,
made on whole wheat toast, while
Una is soup fancier.
Forget Rich Foods
Following these suggestions Butler
co-eds smooth their sweaters and
skirts over trim figures, and forget
about rich foods.
Their older sisters, however, have
discarded such Spartan methods.
Pie la mode" they say to the
waitress. And then, to each other,
you know, all the fashion maya
zines say that curves are coming
back"
