Beauty
Development
Of Bust
BY DONNA GRACE

There is natural development
Of the body that we have a right
to expect and take for granted,
but when in this natural growth
there is a line that does not con-
form to our beauty standards we
are so likely to be depressed
over it.
We are thoroughly unhappy un-
til we find something to correct
this not-too-perfect development
and, if after a few ineffective
measures we cannot see a great
improvement we are in despair.
We know of some girls who
have real inferiority complex
from brooding over their physical
development. The diversified bust
or the lack Of any bust develop
ment are some of the reasons
for this.
We feel that if young people
were taken in hand and put on
strict diets and compelled to en-
gage in active sports. this over
development could be avoided.
Any young girl who shows a
tendency to put on excessive
weight should be taken to a ply
sician so as to ne sure that it is
not caused by some glandular dis
turbance. Any good physician
will know the treatment for this
trouble and he will also prescribe
a diet and exercise, if that is the
necessary course.
So, do not wait until the size
is something to worry about, as
it is difficult to change the size of
the bust. We have treatments
that are quite satisfactory in
many cases, but it is always better
to prevent the trouble. Correct
posture and the right kind OF
breathing will do a great deal in
developing the figure in pleas
ing natural contour.

q man of SO. She doesn't reg
better fate than to be his darlir
Her mother has different
idea. She wants her daughter to
marry a boy of "a and have them
"grow up together" :"
The fly in that particular pot
Of honey is that the girls mother
and the boys mother are life
long friends, and Regina feels
there will be entirely too much
motherlng in that arrangement
When one of the mothers-in-laW
isn't on duty, the other will be
sat the bat" The expression is
Regina'S, not mine.
Views Clash
AS the mother and daughter
have different ideas in regard to
the proper age a husband should
be. it might be we'll to give
their views on the question.
The mother offers her own
experience and says she mar
ried a fellow high school student
as soon as he got a job. 1t paid
only $40 a week, but as she was
a good manager, they owned their
own home and had car at the
end of five years. Her husband
meantime has had three promo
tionS.
And all these blessings because
Regina's father was happy at
home. There was no temptation
to know wild women, waste his
money in drinking, gambling and
going out for so-called good
times" with the boys. He was the
perfect domestic type.
What this lady fails to take
into account is that not every
man represents the perfect
domestic type" And sometimes
when boys go directly from their
mothers apron strings to the
matrimonial altar, they chafe at
the domestic bit and feel they've
missed too much of the gay ire
sponsibility of youth.
The little woman at home and
the baby in the perambulator seem
like millstoneS, and the young
husband desires to run with the
pack.
Happy Medium
Regina's letter is that of a mod
ern young woman. She says
she's not keeping a kindergarten
and doesn't want to housebreak a
young husband. Besides, she's not
in love with this boy her mother
Is so keen about.
She thinks that the 36-year-old
man she wants to marry may have
Sown a wild oat or two, which will
only make him the more apprecia-
tive of his home. He is also eStab-
lished in business, and she will
have none of the drudgeries her
mother went through. Mama
and I/are entirely different types, -
she writes.
AS to being an old mans darl.
ing or a young mans slave, there
is a happy medium. And a man
of So does not fit into either
classification. He has cut loose
from his mothers apron strings,
and he is not so old that his
habits have become as set as
concrete. Besides, Regina loves
him.
And to marry a man because
his mother is your mother S
friend is poor policy.
Lovers Quarrel
"Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'VE had little Spat the
other night, though we're both
in love and have been going to-
gether for two years. To make
him jealous I told him I met
boy he doesn't lfke and talked
with him for Is minutes. That
was a lie.
ITO get even with me, he now
insists on going out one night
with another girl. though I con
fessed it wasn't true 1 had been
talking to this boy he didn't like
i've forgiven him about the
spat and wish he'd forgive me.
"P. o. D."
What would true love be with
out its spats, quarrels and little
prevarications? If these things
didn't happen, where would be
the joy of making up? I'm sure
by the time you see this in print

Be Careful About Cashing Warrant

Margaret Curran, administrator of
aid for the aged, wishes to advise
all banks, merchants and other in
dividuals cashing warrants issued
to recipients by this division to be
certain that the recipients have en-
dorsed these warrants and received
the money. There have been many
forgeries, due to the fact that these
warrants have been cashed on the
assumption that they are state war
rants and therefore there is no risk.
Each endorser guarantees prior en-
dorsements and all are liable in the
event of a forgery. The division is
making demand for reimbursement
and will continue to make it in
cases Of forgery.
