don't let yourself get too interested
in this young man, until he shows
signs of interest in you. In the
meantime develop your own per-
sonality, bring out your own at
fractions, encourage other men,
and you will not have to wait very
long, before the object of your af-
fections will be begging for your
society.
It is always surprising to me to
hear young people complain of
loneliness. So often this loneliness
is caused by setting themselves
above the average, Intellectually. 1t
is asconvenient knack to be capa-
BILE of feeling at home and try to
thoroughly enjoy the society of
varying types of people. One need
not be insincere in any case. Usual
ly it is the person who has trav-
elled considerably, who has culti-
waited as many sides to her person
atty as jewel has facets.
Each personality is true and def
mite, yet each reflects the under
standing and appreciation of other
natures, from a different angle. 1t
means tolerance and charity, to-
ward the opinions and habits OF
others. Il,

times most of the calcium and
other mineral elements may be re-

Dietetically, fruit and meat COM

upon the fat particles, breaking
them up and making them easier

of the fruits are valuable in sus-
tanning the balance of a meal rich
in protein and in counteracting
the effects of meat in the diet.
Here are some meat and fruit
combinations: Ham and pine
apple, Frenched pork tenderloins
with apricots, lamb chops with
orange slices, roast beef with
Drowned pears, veal and raisin
loaf with bananas, hamburgers
steak with broiled bananas, beef
roll with apricots, and beef and
raisin loaf. Fish with raisin sauce
and filet of fish with pineapple
sauce are even more unusual and
good, too.
The simplest way to use whole
fruits of any kind - bananas,
pineapple slices, apricots - is to

oil, then in seasoned flour and
broil them under clear flame.
A delectable luncheon dish is
made with bananas and bacon.

Tor most OF them. Men are funQa-
mentally the same as to their
ideals in women and the exciting
game of love, as were prehistoric
cave-men.
A man insists upon seeking and
counting his mate-and he delights
to find her timid of his advances,
difficult to capture. 1t is the I'M
certainty of the chase that makes
the game SO thrilling, and there
fore, the girl who is too easily
caught has lost most of her at
traction for men.
The plaintive little not of Miss
Sandra .D'A. offers very little OPP
portunity for assistance. She
writes:
My dear Miss Vail: AS you know,
some boys are backward when it
comes to telling a Girl he loves
her. Now I'm very much in love
with a boy but don't know
whether he loves me ORR not. How
can 1 tell, or how can 1 make him
love me? Please help me, will
appreciate your help. Very truly
Sandra D'A.
Now Sandra, you ask me how
you can make him love you; you
do not say whether or not you are
thrown into each others society
often. This is a very important
point. You say that you love him,
but I'm quite sure you merely ad-
mire this young man. To love
him would mean that you know
his mind, that you respect his
ideals and habits and that you
| thrill to his personality.
If you are truly anxious to at
tract this man, without seeming to
be doing SO, study his tastes; dress
neatly and attractively, mostly in
sports attire. The, average man
prefers tailored and sports clothes.
Now I'm going to warn you against
one of most important things not
to do: never under any circum-
stances phone a man. 1t is a fatal
mistake that so many romantic
girls make. A man prefers to seek
the company of a girl, and loses
his respect for the girl who makes
the advances. If he is interested
at all the most timid man, will in
some way let you know his feel
ings, then your clever technique
can manage the affair from
there on.

male sex. they are very incon-
sistent. They pretend they do not

New manners in makeup are
as light and gay as spring
breezes. Just as you have changed
your wardrobe to suit the season,
SO should you change your cos
metics.
For instance, unless your skin
is particularly dry, you don't need
as heavy q tissue cream during
the summer months. If 1t is oily,
you may find 1t more satisfactory
to clean face and neck with soap
and water instead of cleansing
cream. Naturally, since your
pores tend to throw off even
more oil when the weather is hot,
you'll want to do everything you
can to check them. A mild astrin-
gent instead Of q plain tonic may
help. Use 1t several times a day
certainly always after you have
applied cream.
Everyone ought to have a foun-
dation cream or lotion that really
keeps powder on her face. How
ever, even though you get by
without one in winter, don't try
it druing the summer months.
You simply must have a base to
which your powder can cling. Try
a few to see which is best for
your type of complexion.
Hand lotions are just as impor-
tant in July as they are in De-
cember. You'll discover that golf
and all Of your other outdoor ac-
tivities can make your hands as
rough and hard as did the icy
blasts of winter. Smooth on the
lotion several times a day and,
If you are an inveterate gardener
or IL you drive car good deal,
better cream your hands one
night a week and sleep in clean
cotton gloves.
Changes in makeup should
come gradually. AS your skin
becomes more tanned, you'll need
darker face powder and rouge
that has subtle orange lights in
it. Keep an eye on the cosmetic
counter of your favorite store
and stock up on midsummer prep
arations whenever there is a sale.
