WEDDING RING

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Does a woman remove her we'd
ding ring after the death of her
husband? After five years, do
you think it is proper to remove
my ring? 1 am going about a
great deal with a man friend. Do
you think, therefore, that it would
be proper to remove my wedding
ring? WIDOW"
A widow usually wears her we'd
ding ring until she decides to
marry again. There is no def
mite time during which she wears
it. And if, for any personal rea-
son, she does not wish to wear it
she does not need to. It is all a
question of her personal choice
and her personal reaction.

You may or may not agree with
his declaration that the perfect
secretary is one who would quit
her job when she found herself
falling in love with her boss, be
cause either the job or the love
affair would suffer, and naturally
it would be the job"
But it's amazing how many
angles of human behavior have
been turned up by this question.
Comedies, near-comedies, heart
seaching tragedies, and no two of
them alike-all of it human ma
ture in the raw.
MODERN SITUATION
The situation is strictly modern
-up-to-the- minute-Widely preva-
lent, and one which might have
caused Mrs. Grundy, of Queen
Victorias day, to sWoon. Whoever
dreamed of the term "Office Wife"
till the busy little clicking type
writer invaded the skyscraper?
And now it's taken for granted.
The "Office Wife" may be a
lady of mature years and grim
visage-again, she may be young
and lovely. The term no longer
upsets the legal wife.
Today's letter is from a girl who
calls herself an "Onlooker" at the
girl-and-bosS situation, and she has
some pithy comments to make in
the following:
Dear Miss Fairfax:
"The girl whose letter appeared
in your column the other day,
telling that the boss wife had
a voice which sounded like ice
trikling in pitcher when she
left messages for her husband
to come home in time to dress,
as they were dining out, made
me think of youngster caught
pilfering.
you've seen the kid who has
stolen nice, red apple, and
then sticks her tongue out when
she's caught, as a refuge for her
pride. But thanks to modern
psychology, the kid doesn't fool
any of us.
FAMILIAR TYPE
eve know the kind of girl who
wrote that letter; we've had to
work with, for and against such
shortcut girls in our daily lives.
They take the easiest way, and
after a year or two you're apt
to find them on the scrap-heap.
"The fact that your girl cores
pendent rebels so emphatically
about the boss wife shows that
the situation is CALLING, and that
the apple-nOw that she has
stolen it-dOes not taste as good
as she expected.
much of this girland-bOss stuff
is Cinderella nonsense. Girls de-
Jude themselves into imagining
the boss as Prince Charming tied
to Shrew, and they think the
boss loves only his faithful little
secretary. Perhaps the deluded
girl believes in Santa Claus. too,
and goes to a fortune teller at S.
per throw to be told that a tall,
dark man is thinking of her con-
stantly.
NOT A WIFE
"You see am not wife, but
just another working girl who has
grabbed off moderate success by
sticking to her job. I have never
had to make up to the boss to get
a raise. / let them know I am
here for business, and make them
stick to business, too.

Beauty
An Annoying
Problem
BY DONNA GRACE

Every week receive letters ask
ing what it is that causes hair to
grow on the face.
We cannot say just what it Is.
Nature makes the distribution of
hair roots, and if some of them
are on the face, hair will grow,
and there is nothing that we know
of to stop this growth except the
electric needle. That, in most
cases, removes the hair perman.
emily because it destroys the root
There are other methods such
as wax, depilatories. tWeezing, rub
bling with some friction devices
or shaving.
These methods are all temper
airy relief that may be repeated,
of course, from time to time, when
the hairs appear again.
I never give any formula for
making depilatorieS, as I believe
only the manufacturer should do
that.
There are a number of good
products on the market that are
very effective, and each package
has full directions for use, and for
temporary relief, they are splen-
did. They do not claim to re-
move the hair permanently, but
they do say that in many cases
the use of depilatories tends to
make the growth weaker.
When there is an irritation OF
the skin after using these applica
lions, it means that they were left
on too long. Some products carry
directions to remove with cream
but most of them advocate the use
of water in removing. Always rub
on cream after the face is dried
When the growth is annoying
and conspicuous, believe the best
thing to do is to have it removed
permantly by electrolySis.
The modern methods of electrol
ysis are so perfected that they are
classed as a quick and painless
operation and it is less expensive
in the end.

spoken sentence is: Lets get hold

largest collection of embossed
testimonials - framed or un-
framed. Also the greatest assert
ment of police courtesy cards, po-
lice badges, detective badges, fire
chief badges and sheriff badges
for any fellow his age or standing
in the community. The only time
Bobby ever greeted us with less
than his customary smiling cor
dlality was when in a weak mo-
ment we ran benefit last year
and somehow forgot to ask him to
help us out. AS compromise We
went out of our way a few weeks
ago to run another benefit with
Bobby as our chief associate. AS a
reward, a few days later he
handed us a Westminster police
courtesy card which exempts us
from all penalties-unless we ex-
coed speed laws or violate traffic
laws.

IL may encourage you 10 re-
member that there are four dis
tinct periods in a reducing pro
gram.
The first and easiest step is the
loss Of the plant fat which yields
readily to diet.
The second step is the current
stabilized period, with slight fluc-
tuations on the scales, and this is
most trying to the reducer.
The third step Is moving Cor
trying to move) the compact fat,
which demands renewed effort on
the part of the reducer. In taking
off this solid fat your reducing
rate Is cut to half-speed or less.
But every ounce you lose from now
on Is worth as much as pound OF
the initial weight loss, for you are
definitely losing toward perma-
nent slimneSS.
So, If you have been clipping it
off at the cheering rate Of two
pounds a week, be satisfied from
now on to lose at the rate Of one
half to one pound a week. Your
loss rate may be less, but as long
as the trend Of the scales is down
ward you are making progress.
The fourth step comes after you
finally have got down to normal,
and requires sticking 20 a pro-
gram of diet and exercise that will
keep you there. It isn't step for
ward. That's no longer needed.
But it means that you must care
fully avoid taking any step back
ward.
There are two times when the
Fruit Regime may save your fig
ure program-at the beginning
and again when you are trying to
move the concrete fat.
AS you know, the Fruit Regime
contains no fat, no starch or pro
tein, and by the elimination Of
these elements for a brief period,
use is made of the stored body fat
and the scales drop. So back to
the Fruit Regime we go.
This regime is an unbalanced
menu containing less than 800
calorieS and should never be fol-
lowed for more than three con-
secutive days. Two days may suf-
flee. However. if your excess
weight is extremely obstinate, the
Fruit Regime may be adopted to
advantage one day out Of each
week.
On these menus you will lose
any gains you have made during
the sterilization period; then you
should diSlodge pound or so Of
the stubborn fat. When you first
go on a figure program. the Fruit
Regime acts like magic, and you
may lose five pounds during the

to the post a rank outsider, which
was all right, for as a two year
old her record was shoddy. Only
last Thursday the winter book op-
orators thought so little Of her they
put 200 to ! price on her head
Which means they really rated her
at a 1000 TO ! IN the Kentucky
classic, for the winter book boys
are not very big-hearted, and
quote such o fantastic price as 200
to l only when they are convinced
that nothing short Of the heavens
rolling back could bring a horse
in.
Gold Seekers win was made
the mere brilliant by the man
ner in which it was accomplish
ed. Fractions at the post, she
was off last, and at the three
quarters pole was ninth in
field of ten. Then she started
going. and it was net until the
head of the stretch was reached
that she really started going.
Tied at this point, she picked
up c. V. Whitney's Bright Piu-
make, and lit cut after the lead
ing Delphinium. Fifty yards
from the wire the flying fiIly
cOllared the leader, and from
then on it was breeze.
The deby distance won't hurt
her. The derby is only three six
teenths longer than the Chesapeake,
and she finished it running wide
open.
The poundage is the question.
She was carrying only 100 pounds
Saturday, but they won't treat her
SO nice down where the bluegrass

she'll have to tote it whether she
likes it or not
But anyway. she has cheered Re-
