WHY is 1t, when some women
w diet, they lose weight only
in the places where they are
already thin? This is a ques-
ton we are frequently asked.
Women tell us when they go
on a diet to remove the fat
around the waist and hips, they
lose all over, but usually too
much in the legs below the
knees. AS some tell us, "The
legs looked like SpindleS and
the neck was scrawny before
the offending parts were as
slender as they should be-"
We are going to tell you the
reason for this, and you prob
ably know yourself, it is the lack
of exercise. Yes. we know there
are many who may feel they
work hard and are on their feet
most of the day, or may spend
time in social activities till the
wee Sma' hours" and still re-
tain the abominable upholster-
ing of fat, which is just too dis
couraging.
You do exercise, but not as
you should, or you would lose
all over. We talked with a girl
not long ago who told us she
averaged about three miles OF
walking every day and was care
full to keep away from too. many
sweets and rich foods. but only
her legs seemed to change. And
they were getting too thin tor

Who never to himself hath said,

would sit up and listen, and
they'd be privileged to listen.
But you wouldn't be handing
out that sort of adventure

However, the other kind OF
biography-how you were raised
from eight to ten dollars a

and what you said to him, is
just so much yawn stuff.
This is an inside tip, because
girls write me confidential let

marry, and can't stand Richard,

And that's another thing
about deadly earnest, self-satis-
fled young men-so often they
think a girl is a cross between
an angel and an idiot. They're
patronizing; they want to tell
the girls what to think, what to
do, and they adopt a mentally
superior air that every woman
in the world resents.
The really clever young man,
while he may think a woman is
a cross between an angel and
an idiot-until some girl fastens

should have been puzzled
myself to know why any young
man with a salary OF $75
a week, a good reliable car and
a willingness to spend literally,
was forced to drag out a lonely
and dateless existence, If the
fates hadn't thrown Jim in my
path a week or so ago.
Jim is a worthy young man.
He radiates merit, from his up
standing pompadour to his neat,
shining boots. But he also radi-
ates a certain deadliness that,
after IS or 20 minutes, makes
you want to scream. rush away
or do other violent and rude
things.
Goes Into
Great Detail
For Jim is the type of young
man who tells you the history
of his life, syllable by syllable.
Not a detail is spared. 1t was
all good Success-making stuff,
too, but it was as deadly as
Jim himself.
He began at the point where
he had to leave school a few
months before his graduation
from the grade schools. and he
took you through every year un-
til today, when he has reached
his present position of $75 a
week, and (confidentially speak
ing) he expects to go even
higher.
Now there's just one person in
the world to whom young man
can hand out that "I-I-I-T'
line-and that person is his
MOTHER. She'll follow the
long, dull recital with breath
less interest. But, honestly, no
one else will. And if you catch
a pretty girl hanging on every
word of your biography, take it
from me, that girl has got an
ak to grind.

Aside from the fresh air. such

So long as we are going to spend

When you are going to take

that if you will imagine there
are no joints from the hips to
the feet. Pull in the abdomen
and keep the back below the
hips as fat as possible, then
stride forth with straight knees
and head held high. Stretch at

Much Mother"
I'll say that right off with q
bang. What to do with an apron
string sweetheart Cor mate) has
had 'em stumped since Eve be-
came a mother-in-law.
Today's daughter Of Eve
thinks men are much more apt
to cling to their mothers apron
strings than are women. She
wonders If I don't agree with her
on this.
Well, I've known a good many
lady clingers. How about the
little bride who is eternally "go-
ing home to mother?" Did she
ever stop to think (probably not,
they seldom do) that the mother.
in-law problem is generally acute
enough without the wife wear
ing it raw?
Not Fair
To Either
Imagine how a man feels
about the n1other-in-law who Is
forever being held up to him as
a haven of refuge for his wife.
That's not playing cricket with
either mother or hubby.
The single man doesn't have
an "apron-string" problem. If
the girl of his dreams is forever
dreaming of a home with mother
and dad, the bubble bursts
quickly as far as he is concerned.
But the unmarried girl takes
the matter more seriously. She
has to, perhaps. Few of us will
argue the fact that girls take
romance far more seriously than
men and are more likely to cling
on after the fire has gone out in
the breast of the party of the
second part.
Must Sit
And Wait
A girl will put up with lot
more than a man during the
period of courtship. I'm not
blaming the girls for that. Un-
der the present Set-up, the man
can always act on his own initia-
tive in romantic matters. The
girl, unless she is unusually tai
ented in the art of subtle flirta-
ton, has to sit around and wait.
Naturally when she gets a break
she wants to hang on as long as
possible.
Don't let that annoy you, girls.
It's just straight facts. Until
girls are permitted by conven-
ton to choose their men al o
leap year every year, that Situa-
ton will remain.
All you can do if the boy friend
is mother-conSciouS is to get
used to it or to drop him. II
you're popular chose the latter
course by all means as an apron
string sweetheart will be night
mare as a husband.
Talk to
Mother-in-LoW
A married woman who loves
her man despite his motheritis
has, 1 think, the best chance Of
giving him the cure by going
directly to the mother and talk
ing with her. If she is interested
in her sons happiness and the
welfare of his home, she will
cooperate.
Perhaps she might visit the
home and praise her daughter
in-law as q houSekeeper, as Q
cook and as a hostess. This
might wake up the husband. II
the young mans mother is in
cahoots with her Son-that is,
if she looks down on his wife,
there's going to be stubborn per-
sistency on the part of the hus-
band to keep his mother.
The tipoff is: A stubborn man
is a problem without an answer.
You'll have to guess the solution
and take q chance on being
right.
