LOVELORN
Disregard
Lack OF
Looks
By Beatrice Fairfax

Famous Authority on Problems
of LoUe and MGrTiGge.)
"If I'd been beautiful, I'd
never have amounted to much"
said Carole Lombard, famous
film star and former wife Of the
fascinating William Powell, the
other day.
Think this over, you girls who
weep in secret and sink to black
depths of depression just be-
cause, according to your own
standards, you haven't Superla-
lively pretty faces.
For one thing, discriminating
people may not agree with you.
They may see distinction or
piquancy in your face-a charm,
perhaps, in its very irregularity.
Or they may find a compelling
attraction that they can't an
alyze, and that you yourself
would naturally be unaware Of.
But suppose for the moment
that you are right; that you
haven't any kind of beauty;
that you are almost plain. Are
you going to let that fact de"
feat you?
What lovely Miss Lombard
meant was that, since in the
beginning she didn't consider
herself beautiful (we're not of
course obliged to agree with
her, she was thereby put on her
mettle. 1t was her intention to
arrive somewhere in life. So she
thought she would have to make
more of herself than would have
been necessary if she had been
a born beauty.
For instance, she felt she had
to educate herself, so that she
might make the most of her in
telligence. Undeveloped women
don't get very far. Also. she
thought it necessary to have a
healthy, graceful body; to know
how to walk well and dance well.
at least, even if she didn't go
in for sports, which usually, of
course, require leisure.

MANNERS
MANNEKS
Young Girl
May Invite
Callers
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckm0n

By Mrs. Cornelius BeecknlaH
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
/. Is it correct for a young
girl, sixteen years Of age, to ask
a boy friend whom she has re-
Gently met to come to her home
to visit her?
2. Is it correct to ask him to
write you when you will be away
during the year?
8. Should this young girl ask
other boys to her home when she
knows that this one particular
boy cares a lot for her? do not
think it is the right thing to do,
but some Of my friends think
that at sixteen one is too young
to have only one particular
friend.
4. What should q girl say
when a boy has taken her to a
theater and so forth? Should
she thank him?
SIXTEEN
/. Yes, inviting friends to your
home, old friends and newly-met
friends whom you feel you would
enjoy knowing better, is decid.
edly correct and hospitable.
(Unless, Of course, your family
have objections to this, for some
eason, or concerning some
friends).
2. No, this isn't correct for the
girl. It is the boy who asks the
girl for the privilege of writing
to her. Then, If he gets her per.
mission, he exercises it by writ
ing to her first.
3. Some OF your friends" are
right. Sixteen is too young, al
though you may not think so,
for a girl to concentrate on
knowing one boy. And she'll miss
a lot Of fun, too!
4, Yes, we are never too young
to get the habit-and to make
the habit "jell"-of thanking
people for hospitality, for charm.
ing gestures they make to us,
for anything, small or large,
that they do for us. When o
boy takes a girl to the movies,
to a play, to a dance, to any
kind Of entertainment that he
has generously planned, she
should, If she has any semblance
Of breeding or appreciation,
thank him. THANK you so much
for such a happy time. I en-.
joyed the play so much" or 1T
was so kind of you to ask me to
go with you to the dance. I had
a grand time!", or II enjoyed
that movie enormously. Thank
you so much for taking me-"

training of young men from the New England states. The project will operate during an initial period from June 1 to October 31.
 The young men to be selected will be distributed among the towns of the state as equitably as the small number of openings permit. The final selection will be in the hands of local committees in the various cities. Each of those committees will consist of three persons, repre- senting industry, labor and educa- ton. They are now in process of organization, and the selection will proceed as rapidly as possible. It is hoped that the first contingent will be ready to leave this state for Maine by Friday or Saturday of this week.
 Work Expereince
 The purpose of the project is to offer young men a chance to have a variety of work experience under the excellent conditions afforded by the machine shops and other equipment at Quoddy, and to give them full opportunity to decide, with the help of trained counsel lors, what kind of work they are best fitted to carry on in the future. It is not the intention of the IVA to offer complete training in any field; in other words this is a work expereince and guidance opportun- ity, and is in no way to be consid- cred a substitute for apprenticeship, trade school, or other formal train- ing. On the other hand consistent with the limitations of the five month period, expereince will be given in as many fields of work as the individual boy wishes to enter, and full help will be given him in mapping his career.
 SEQ Per Month
 The boys will be given transpor- tation to and from Quoddy, all liv- ing expenses and medical care will be furnished, and they will receive $20 a month in addition. Besides their regular work expereince, those selected to attend will have the ad- vantage of complete community life in Quoddy Village, including op- 'portunity to take part in the gov- ernment of the village, and to ex- ercise such civic functions as work ing in the Police and Fire Depart ments, the village bank, etc. Re- creation also will not be neglected since faciliteis are available for swimming and all kinds of sport.
 Eligibility for selection is on the same basis as that for IVA project work.
