All RoGds Lead
 To Romance
ByV VITAVAIL

All roads lead to Romance! Wh we speak at great length of beau and its many intersections, char personality, character and dress, find that the ultimate destination all these personal attributes, is R nance and love.
 I welcome the confidence re- posed in me by young people, who write their personal problems to me:
 My Dear Miss Vail: I have lis tened to you quite frequently over Station WATR, and recently read your articles in the Democrat, and I thought you might advise me in a little personal matter. am going with a young man, and we care for each other very much, but he scolds me for little things that every other girl does. He doesn't like to see me smoke; he doesn't like makeup, he does not approve of some of my friends. and he objects to so many of my ways, that am wondering If should break off with him. What would you advise? I'm afraid to think of the future, if can't seem to please him now. Signed Emile G.
 We'll, my dear Emile: You admit that you both care for each other very much. Fundamentally, all men have certain ideals for one woman of their choice, and when a man is truly in love, he ex- poets that ideal to be lived up to. So, you see Emile, that which ap-

pears unfair to you, is really the highest form of compliment, and if you really love him, you will ap- preciate this. and though you need not conform to his demandsi entirely, still it might be wise to gradually mold your personality to his ideal. Likewise, demand of him, that he lives up to your standards of masculinity, in habit and dress and so forth, and in this way, you can determine whether he is selfish by nature, or just ideally in love with you.
 My Dear Miss Vail: l am nine- teen years of age, and go out oc- casionally, with young men. One of these men is twenty-nine years old. like him better than the others: he is more experienced and he knows how to treat a girl when we go places. My parents think he is too old for me, but the fe1. lows of my age are not interesting in conversation, and expect every date to De a betting party. Am I doing right to encourage the old- CT man? Signed, Gloria H.
 Gloria dear: I am in sympathy with you, in your difficulty. know from experience that girls of your age are usually more att tracted by the older, more sophis- ticated man. True, he has finer technique in escorting the girls about. But only too often this charming manner is mistaken for character. That does not neces- sarily follow, and unless you are seriously in love with this older man, think it wise to follow your parents advice, and go with boys nearer to your own age and exper- fence in life. Regarding their att titude toward you, when out on dates, I have always found that a man will treat girl, exactly as she wants to be treated. Of course, before accepting an invita- tion to go out alone with a young man, be sure to first ascertain his character, and background. The rest is positively up to you; if he likes you personally, he wants to respect you, and it is the wise girl, who proves to be a good sport with young man, and still main- tain her dignity. Always bear in mind that it is better to earn al young mans discomfort than his disrespect.

However. 40 years. of experimental biology has shown this assumption to have little. if any, truth.

A Nip of Iodine Keeps You In

 Doctors have prescribed iodides for arteriosclerosis since iodin was first introduced to medicine. Small doses daily, given for a long period of time, with occasional rests. Generally three to five grains of sodium iodide or potassium iodide once or twice daily, after food. More recently organic compounds of iodin.

 Few persons. get enough, no one gets too much iodin from food due to the poverty of the soil, especial ly in inland and elevater regions in this element. Unless the diet includes a liberal amount of fish or shell fish from the sea, fresh or canned, it is we'll for every one to take an iodin ration in one form or another.
 Young adults or those of mature age suffering from shortage O. iodin are likely to go stale, lost their former ambition, feel chroni' cally tired and weary, and ever a vacation or a long rest brings little relief.

Paris-It looks as though cotton evening dresses will be as popular as ever this summer. At the new Triumphe bar chic Parisienne sported one in blue and white checkered gingham. The checks, about an inch square, ran diagon- ally, as the material was cut on the bias. Backless, but high at the throat in front, the dress had shoulder straps and g. wide sash of navy taffeta.

Relaxing at ease on porch, lawn or terrace is going to be a more delightful pastime than ever, this summer, judging by the new out door furniture. Couches that can be wheeled about to catch the va, grant breeze, gliders that soothe as they sway, and chairs with deep cushioned seats and backs, com bine comfort and color with invit- ing effect.
 The portable chaise lounge shown above is designed for lazy hours in the garden. It is made on a chromium frame with rubber tired wheels, and comfortable saul sage cushions of green Fabrikoid, a lacquered fabric, piped with white. This upholstery is very practical for outdoor use, as it is not easily damaged by sudden un- expected rain-and it can be wiped clean with damp cloth.
 The modern line chair illustrated is a popular style for the porch. The frame has finish of brushed aluminium, and the square cornered cushions are made of lacquered fabric in yellow edged with brown. Another chair of similar style is covered with the same material in orange piped with gray.
 | Many white pieces are seen some with gayly colored cushions, others all white. The ivory bridge set illustrated is particularly suit able for outdoor parties. The pieces .are of painted wood, the chair backs showing a Chippendale de- sign. The table top and chair seats are covered with lacquered ma terial in Spanish grain, which Is easily kept fresh and dainty. When not in use, the set can be folded up and put away in closet. The table is the kind that collapses without a struggle, all four legs folding when one leg is folded under.

DEAR BOYS AND GIRLS: Along

you begin to slow down. Your lessons
seem tedious and dull and the teacher
seems bent on making them as long

much home work and too little fun.

This weary feeling is nothing un-
usual Everybody has it. Your mother
is just as tired of rising to get you
of to school, feeding the baby and the
dog, doing the marketing, getting the
meals, prodding you along so that you
will get something done each day. But
she does not stop work on that ac-
count. She knows that by keeping
steadily on the feeling will pass and
she will feel more like work, say next
week.

how one time you felt that you were
going to die right then and there?
You couldn't draw another breath,

muscle? And did you hold on any

that you were breathing easily again
and that the awful feeling had
passed? If ever you have gone

child is the healthieSt and best food for
the adults, too, but unfortunately. that
is often too expensive to be used so
generally. The child, In turn, can
not eat pies and heavy types Of meat
Just before going to bed, but he can
eat the fruit with which often the
pies are filled, and he does not need
meat at night If he has had 1t for
the noon meal, as he should.
A good soup, a green vegetable.
plenty of bread and butter, stewed
fruit, cookies and glass of milk pro-
vides an ideal supper for a child up
to IL or 13. The assumption is that
he has had his big midday meal and
therefore doesn't need to "stoke-up''
so heavily in the evening. I know
that my own children, one Of whom
is 13 and the other 8, sleep far better
and keep in perfect condition under
the light supper regime.
Therefore, to get back to the orig
inal idea, such a supper could be
easily evolved from the main dinner.
Starting with a good, nourishing
soup, either a cream or stock type,
would stimulate the digestion and
create an appetite. Then, while the
adults ate pork. with applesauce,
sweet potatoes and creamed celery,
perhaps, the children could eat the
creamed celery, bread and butter
sandwiches and milk. Then, if the
family dessert was something too rich
and fancy for the younger generation,
they could have the applesause dressed
up bit by being beaten with the
white Of an egg, some cookies-and
that would be that
Thus, you see, nothing would have
to be cooked or ordered in addition to
the regular meal-except the little
matter of the egg to be beaten up
in the applesaucei
A little careful planning and fore
thought when arranging the daily
menu in the morning will eliminate
q great deal of extra effort on the
part Of the housewife later on in the
day.
Even if you prefer to give the very
small children their supper an hour
before the regular evening meal, much
the same plan may be followed.
For instance, If the family dinner
Is to include string beans, order
enough beans for the children's sup
per, too, and prepare them all at
the same time, placing a small
amount in one saucepan to be cooked
earlier than the larger quantity In
this way the more tedious part of the
task of preparation may be got out
OF the way all at once, so to speak.
The same procedure may be fol-
lowed in most cases-always bearing
in mind the fact that the dishes for
the juvenile element should contain
less spices and sauces than those
to be consumed by the grown-ups.
Another time-saver for the busy
mother consists of small table
perhaps a card table-set in one cor
ner of the dining room, where the
1ittlest children may eat their early
supper without disturbing the setting
and balance of the large dining table.
This can be most attractively ar
ranged and. in fact, the child feels
much happier at his own small ban
quet board than he does sitting alone
before a great expanse of polished

Food Gives
Key in Fight
On Weight
Person Who Is Under.
fed Has Chance to
Improve.
BY JAMES W. BARTON. NJ. d.

INSURANCE examiners tell us that
about 20 per cent of the p5pu.a-
ton is overweight, and overweight,
especially after middle age, is a de-
cided liability.
DR.. L. H. Newburgh. Ann Arbor,
Mich. has been investigating the
amount of heat lost by overweight in
dividuals when they are at rest. He
was able to measure the amount of
insensible perspiration-not the drops
of sweat that roll of the SKIN, out
the moisture that is on the skin but
not seen. This, as you know, is the
way the body gets rid of its heat.
He is convinced that all overweight
persons will lose weight when they are
underfed, and, what is more impor-
tant, that these persons have all be-
come fat simply and solely because
they have eaten too much.
He tells of a fat man. who had
enormous masses of fat in various
parts of the body and whose weight
was $50 pounds. For a year he was
fed only 300 food calories a day in
stead of 5000 or more calories pre-
viously eaten. This took of 287
pounds. During the second year he
was given 600 calorieS. and lost SO
pounds more. He now weighed 1874
pounds. weight that was considered
satisfactory for his height, and he was
told to keep his weight at 1914 pounds
by careful selection Of his food. Nine
months later. as he still weighed 1874
pounds, he was told that he had lost
| a sufficient amount Of weight for his
build and height.
This case teaches that practically
all cases of overweight, no matter
what has caused the overweight, can
be reduced by cutting down on the
amount Of food eaten.
However, this was an exceptional
case, and the average overweight,
even if 100 pounds overweight. should
not attempt such severe reduction
| in the food intake.
simple yet safe method of re-
ducing is to continue to eat meat,
eggs, or fish once or twice a day, and
cut down on fat foods-butter, cream,
fat meat-by one-quarter or IS per
| cent, and also cut down on starch
foods-potatoes. sugar. bread, pastry
by Is per cent. All liquids should be
cut down by one-half, as liquids form
a great part of the excess weight of
the body.
Fruits and leafy vegetables should
be eaten in the usual amounts, as they
satisfy the appetite and prevent acido-
sis. which Is liable to occur during
weight reduction.

my leaf1et on How to Gain Weight;
this gives suggestions on diet, rest and
exercise that will help you. You will
not be able to develop just certain
parts of your body without gaining
weight all over.
(2) Consider your skin tints in Sc
lecting colors for clothes. Ask for my
leafiet, Color Schemes and Costum-
ing" when you write again. AS your
general health improves and you gain
normal weight. think your complex
ion will improve. When ones complex
ion is not clear and unblemished, one
should avoid wearing white and deli
cate. pure colors. Heather mixtures,
tweed effects and small prints are
less trying to such complexion than
plain shades. Dull, rough teXtured
fabrics are more becoming than

not flawless. LOIS LEEDS.

To make your face appear more slen-
der, wear your hair over your ears and

girl not to use much perfume as such
Just have all your toilet articles
talcum, cream, lotions-with the same
fragrance and use the same in sachets
in your bureau drawers. White rose
and violet are nice scents for the
