on your own choice. But keep in

nothing they would not do for
the child's happiness and well-be-
ing, but their "best" is not always
what the child needs. This is
true in regard to the things the
child is permitted to eat.
We like to indulge the sweet
tooth appetite of youth, and it is
hard to tell any child to do with
out the sweets and rich foods they
want, but a child needs direction
and should be taught to curb an
abnormal appetite for the food
combinations that may be harm
full.
PUTTING ON WEIGHT
There are a number Of doc
tors and specialists who are quail
flied to prescribe good nourish-
ing diet for children of all ages,
and they know the foods that are
most attractive. to young persons
so that the appetite is satisfied,
too. Any parent who cares to, can
obtain instruction in the feeding
of children, and we do not pre-
sumo to tell you what is best for
them.
The thing we would have you
guard against is letting your child
put on too much weight. Some
parents are delighted to have a
child consume everything at the
table and then continue to nlbble
and lunch on sweets and every
thing he can get his hands on be-
tween meals. They seem to feel
satisfied he is growing strong and
building up a good healthy body.
Many children seem to thrive
on overeating and with their ac-
tivities and strenuous sports, they
are apparently none the worse for
their continuous eating, but there
are a few who should not be per-
mitted to eat any more than is
necessary to keep them nourished
and strong. They are the ones
who have a tendency to over
weight.
Overweight, fat children are
under a great handicap. They are
usually slow in their movements
and are frequently made to suffer
the ridicule Of their associates.
Youth is thoughtless, and often
cruel in it's pranks and gibes.
It takes very little to wound
the pride of a sensitive child,
especially when they are in their
teens and old enough to have
pride in their appearance. Some
of the letters we receive appealing
for help are pathetic. They say
they are desperate and usually
want some kind of medicine they
can take to make them thin
again. Many of them blame their
parents for permitting them to be
in that condition, and they all say
they are ashamed to go out as

Most of us spend more than we
really should at Christmas but ex-
cuse it on the grounds that it
comes only once a year and then
economize later.
The difficulty is that the meal
planner is tired of doing all the
little things that are necessary to
transform raw meat and vegeta-
bles into toothSome delicacies,
which our demanding families see
at the dinner hour. The thought
of peeling potatoes and Scraping
carrots has no appeal.
Here are a few ideas that might
dress up the dinner table in these
days of ritzing on a shoeString.
Take an ordinary meat loaf AMI
when it is mixed and ready for the
oven take the mold you have made
and insert two hard-cooked eggs.
Fold the meat over the eggs, max
ing the loaf whole again. When
the loaf is sliced, a cheerful yellow
and white egg pattern appears in
the center of each slice. It looks
pretty, and that is recommends
ton enough.
For dessert have fruit-egg-on-
toast. Buy small square pound
cake. 1t will be yellow with the
Drowned eggs just like toast. Whip
gill of whipping cream. Pile the
cream, and in the center of a
whipped puff drop half Of vel
low peach.
Another excellent economy dish
is mock filet mignon.
MOCK FILET MIGNON
l pound of round steak cut one
inch thick
4 slices of bacon
l tablespoon of butter
l teaspoon of onion
"a cup of hot water
Flour
Salt
Pepper
Cut steak into circles two
inches in diameter. Fasten a
strip of bacon around each circle
with a toothpick. Melt fat in
the pan. Dip steak in flour, salt
and pepper. Brown lightly on
both sides. Sprinkle with minced
onion. Add water and bake for
Is minutes in a moderate oven.
A concoction that uses left
overs to advantage is baked pota-
toes in blanket. To prepare these
spread dried beef lightly with
prepared mustard. Roll in each
slice a spoonful of hot mashed
potatoes. Brush with melted
butter. Place under broiler and
broil for 8 to 10 minutes.
Corned beef hash is also q
time saver. For this just empty

SNUBS ARE WRONG
ear Miss Fairfax:


Dear Miss Fairfax:
Hes two years older than I
am, and-I can't help it-I'm
just madly in love with him.
Now he has started going with
another girl.
"He seems friendly towards mo
and speaks every time we meet.
but 1 feel he is speaking to me
only out Of a sense of duty. Shall
/ Snub him, or be as nice as
though his going STEADY" with
another girl meant nothing at
all? DISTRESSED"
Where would snubbing get you,
my dear? If the young man
grew tired of the other girl, and
decided you were easier on the
eyes than she is, there would be
that terrible mad" to bridge over.
And neither of you friendly, be-
cause you had snubbed him
through jealousy. Yes, jealousy
it is that makes you want to
snub him, and thus pass on the
hurt. But we can't indulge in
these reprisals if we're going to
be successful.

j. B. Ross, OF southeastern UNI
versity, opened the question with
Both sexes now have the same
sense of fair play, and as the idea
Of the double-Standard in mar
riage grows, the institution is fad
ing into the background"
But is it? Looking over the lists
Of applicants for marriage IL
cenSes, one is amazed at the
youth Of the contracting parties.
Sixteen is not unusual for girls,
and boys often marry at Is or 10.
AMAZING COURAGE
These lists do not state how the
rent is to be paid, or the pot kept
boiling, and one marvels at the
courage of boys 18 and 19 years
Of age, facing such obligations.
But they do-and oftener than
not, the marriage holds if the
young couple register from a
rural district.
Why is this? one asks. The an
Swer seems to be that young peo-
pie living on farms or in rural
districts have less time to feel
sorry for themselves.
Shop windows displaying er-
mine and mink coats do not cause
SpaSms Of envy. And a succession
Of shiny limouSines does not dis
gust the young husband with the
old tractor or the Tin Lizzie.
It's in the big cities that the
double standard of morality has
taken root and plays havoc with
early marriage. Tragic that so
many girls accept it, while all
their better instincts rise up and
rebel.
They are not over-sexed, nor is
there any urge to disregard those
taboos that women have held to
from time immemorial. They
accept the double standard, and
oh, the irony of it!-for no better
reason than to be popular with
some chance Tom, Dick or Harry.
GIRLS ARE LEFT
Rather than miss cheap date,
they will agree to be mot old
fashioned" And as the double
standard exactS no obligation or
responsibility from these chance
young men, girls are as quickly
left as they have been taken up.
Pitiful is the result, because
not many girls have the hardihood
of temperament to withstand the
tendency of the double standard,
which leads in most cases from
one man to another and ends in
being indiscriminate.
Letters innumerable have come
to this column from girls who are
lonely and feel neglected. They
tell of other girls who have ac-
cepted the double standard, but
have married eventually, and not
badly.
But if these girls, who have
thrown overheard the code they
call "old-fashioned," are followed
up, their subsequent marriages
and divorces are almost as casual
as their double-standard friend
ships.
HEAVY PENALTY
Rail against it as you will, there
are certain instincts implanted in
women for the good of the race,
and if these are diSregarded, the
penalty is heavy. There is ample
medical testimony to this effect.
You may quote to me the out,
standing sirens of history-the
Cleopatras, the Katherines of Rus.

IF YOU haven't seen the
L new prints it will be
hard to believe that they are
as gay as they are. Colors
run riot, patterns are differ
ent from anything you've
ever seen, and the dresses
themselves are quite some
thing to see. Most of the
daytime or street prints that
have arrived in town are on
dark grounds, many of them
on black, but they are far
from somber. The colors
will include orange, char
treuse and yellow, with
nice springy green or some
equally gay combination
and the design will be so
beautifully done that you
will want to keep a piece of
the dress, just to look at,
long after it's worn out. For
afternoon. there are printed
satins that look hand
painted. Those I've seen are
on a white ground, the de-
sign odd, large and splashy,
rather delicately done for all
that, and combining colors
more beautifully than any
thing we've had in many
years. These gowns are de-
signed to take the place of
street length metals and vel
vet, which we wear to tea
and cocktail parties now.
The printed satins are for
your cruise or southern
wardrobe. Prints are on
cottons too-grand prints
for every possible kind of
dress, beach costume and
even for evening.

their schoolmates do, because they
look funny.
This inferiority complex Is
really serious and may retard the
progress and ambition OF any
young person. Some of the harder
ones may pretend to ignore their
ludicrous size by -clowning, and
this is about all they can do If
they are going to continue to be
fat and awkward.
They should be given the help
they need, and the very first thing
to do is to find out whether their
abnormal size is caused by some
pathological disturbance or by the
food they eat. The amount and
the food combination is the COM
mon cause.
NO HARDSHIP
The comforting thing about 1t
is it can be remedied without any
hardship, and it really does not
take a long time to make a great
improvement in the weight Of any
young person.
We do not believe in a too-re-
stricted diet for the young as they
need all the vitamins and food va
rieties when they are growing, but
we think they should be started
on a diet that excludes some OF
the fattening foods so as to dis
cipline the appetite for a while,
and also to eliminate some Of the
excess fluids.
When there is a noticeable loss
of weight and the food craving
has been controlled, it should be
an easy matter to select small por-
tions of a well-balanced diet.
Plenty of regular exercise should
be part Of every reducing diet.
Mrs. C-The average weight
for a woman of thirty-three and
height S #. is 122 pounds, so you
would be about 38 pounds over
weight. The weight of the body
varies even in persons who may be
of the same age and height. The
form and bone structure must be
considered. Also, persons whose
structure is sturdy and broad will
always weigh more than those
whose bones are small. We must
consider proportion as well as
height.
If your skin is dry and itching,
try to avoid cleansing it with soap
and water for a while. Use a
cleansing cream and follow that
with a good tissue cream.
We have a diet that has been
used by a number of overweight
young persons, and we feel it is a
nice way to begin to change
weight. There is no charge for it,
but please enclose a stamped, self
addressed envelope for your reply

INFORMAL WEDDING
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"Please tell me the wording for
an invitation to an informal we'd
ding. 1t will be at 8 o'clock in the
evening, with reception following.
''The groom will wear a business
suit and the bride will wear a dark
Sunday evening dress. That's the
correct attire for an informal we'd
ding, isn't it?
"What sort of stationery should
be used for the invitations? &C."
The best form in which to send
invitations for an informal we'd
ding is for the brides mother to
write the note of invitation. It is
she who is the hostess; therefore,
it should be she who writes the in
vitations. And they are worded
somewhat like this:
Dear Mary:
Dorothy and Tom are to be
married informally on Tuesday,
January tenth, at s o'clock in the
evening, in the church. We want
very much to have you and Jack
with us for the ceremony at the
church, and later at an informal
gathering Of relatives and friends
at our home. Do tell us that you
will both come, for it would make
us all very happy.
Devoted love to you both.
Cordially"
Yes, this will be a correct attire
for an informal evening wedding.
Plain white, double-sheeted letter

the best taste for letter-paper for
these invitations. Choose paper
inclining to the formal type. It
may be plain, or engraved with

Nationals Defense Superb.

NEWSOM'S pitching performance
may have lacked the sheer brilli-
ance of Jimmy DeShongs three-hit
effort the day previous but it was not
far away from it. Every one of the
five Chicago hits were singles and
only three reached base by walks.
Like DeShong, the big right -hander
officially faced only 28 batters and,
also like Jimmy, the pride Of Harts-
vile now boasts seven victories.
Behind him the Griffs played Su
perbly. For one thing they blasted
their old nemesis. Ted Lyons, for II
hits. One of these was a terrific
home run by Johnny Stone in three
Eun scoring spree in the first inning.
Afield the Nationals were even
greater. -Four times they choked off
Chicago rallies with lightning double
plays to put up a defense that was
well-night perfect. In the seventh
inning, particularly, Newsom was
saved possible trouble when, with men
on base and one down. OSsie Bluege
not only scooted over second base to
rob Jimmy Dykes of a hit but, with
the able aid of Red Kress, turned it
into double play. That broke the
Soxs hearts. They weren't tough
after that.

Champion Is Eliminated.

MISS MooRE's singles title went
a-glimmering in the face OF Miss
Clarke's rugged stroking yesterday by
scores Of 6-3, As, 6-3. thus sus-
tanning the tradition that no woman
singles champion ever has won that
title twice in the City of Washing
ton tournament.
Ralying bravely in the second set
after Miss Clarke had given indica-
tons her triumph might be recorded in
straight sets, Miss Moore took six of
the last seven games after her oppo-
nent had taken the first three. She
also showed courage in the third set
when she ignored a 40 lead estab-
lished by the ultimate winner to take
the fifth, sixth and seventh games.
Miss Clarke broke through her service
on he eighth, however. and then won
on her own in the last game of the
day.
Miss Cootes also came from behind
to trim Miss Ryan, entering the match
on the short end of 4-3 score, car
ried over from Thursday when rain
halted play in the first set. Although
Miss Ryan took the first game yester-
day, Miss Cootes won the next four for
IS decision, and then waltzad
through 6-1 count.
Miss Clarke and Mrs. Robinson ad-
vanced toward the doubles crown with
an impressive 60, 60 rout of Eleanor
Craven and Margaret Graham while

Smith and Turney, won by scores OF
60, 81 from Virginia Lyle and
