weight. Alcohol is fuel which
must be burned as soon as the
tissues are saturated, and while
the alcohol calories are not stored,
neither do you draw on your own
stored calories for energy as long
as you are burning those obtained
in alcohol. The more alcohol
taken. the less Of your own body
fat is burned as fuel.
Large quantities Of liquids
stretch the stomach, which creates
a greater calorie capacity and In
creases the appetite.
Now, how about water drinking
while you are trying to reduce?
On a low calorie schedule, you
need liberal quantities Of water.
The question is not how much to
drink, but when to drink it. Do
most Of your water-drinking be-
tween meals, when 1t Is absorbed
rapidly. Taken with the meal, and
particularly at the end Of tne
meal, water Is retained longer2and
stretches the stomach. An hour
before meals or any time between.
is an excellent time for the re-
ducer to drink water.
And. remember, you need ct
least eight glasses daily. And here
is a question from one Of my
weight-gainers:
"When / eat more food, my
stomach Is nOticeably enlarged.
Would you suggest that I eat less
food to shrink my StOmach?"
Underweight means that you
are not getting enough calories.
and to lessen your food intake
now would make you thinner. and
further decrease your vitality.
Don't undo the very thing you
are trying to do, which is to build
up your health.
Exercise Is the solution to this
problem. Regular abdominal ex-

AT THE DANCE
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"Tf am ut q dance and . boy
asks me for this dance, and ! do
not wish to dcnce, what should !
say?
'When one Ia dancing with .
stranger, what should they talk
about?
"After the dance, when the boy
takes you back to your seat, and
thanks You, should you just say
You're welcome or something to
that effect?
eff q girl asks D boy to 20 to
the school dance and the boy does
not attend that school, who should
pay for the tickets? T."
About the only possible excuse
Is that you are tired and don't
wish to dance that dance. And
then, remember, you can't dance
with anyone else. You must either
ask the young man II he would
like to sit out the dance: or you
must ask him to excuse you, and
then you 60 to the dressing-room
and stay there until the next
dance. It Is an inexcusable rude
ness for q girl to refuse to dance
with one man, for any reason, and
then eccept the invitation Of an
other mai for that dance.
First, don't be too eager to talk
about anything. Men who very
much enjoy dancing-and girls,
too, who very much enjoy dancing
don't like to talk much, for too
much talking does break the
rhythm. But If you both want to
talk, you'll probably begin with the
usual dance-floor items Of converse
tion-the good music, the good
floor, the interesting looking people
at the dance, mutual acquaintances
or friends, and such general con-
versation. Very soon the converse
ton can be guided into more per
sonal items Of conversation, mutual
interests, movies and plays you've
seen, and so forth.
Don't say you're welcome, for
this carries the idea that the thank
you-for.the- dance and the-pleasure-
of-the-dance are all on one side.
Say something that will make 1t
clear that you, too, enjoyed the
dance. Omit the you're welcome"
and say "it was such a delightful
dance. Bob, or II thoroughly en-
joyed that dance, Mr.. Williams"
or something Of this kind.
The girl should buy two tickets,
for she Is the hostess Of this party,
since she gives the invitation.

You need not worry on that

you take will not make prominent
muscles. OF course, people in
rigorous training-such as aero

they perform the most difficult
and strenuous exercises for hours

remove the fat. but there Is no
