 The lads real name is Ray Matueewitz and he's of Polish stock. He won the national inter- collegiate lig h { heavyweight championship in a romp. His teacher thinks now that Matt is good enough to lick any heavy weight with the exception of Louis, and he IS certain the time is not far off when he will take the much feared Brown Bomb CT

is her chart showing sleeves

tells of the classic example OF

it seems a large Eastern firm

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm sick and tired Of being
the chum, the big sister and
confidant of every man I meet.
They think I'm the best friend
a man ever had; then, after
telling me all about their affair
with the other girl, and listen
ing to my advice, they make
up with the other girl and
marry her.
II happened to be very much
in love myself with two Of these
young men to whom I've lent a
sympathetic ear. I'd have
given anything to have flung
my arms around the neck Of
either one-these condolences
happened at two.year intervals
and said something like:
Why waste your time on such
a creature? Take me! love
you to distraction. Marry me
and let me make you happy
1t Worked
Well
But, instead, my sense Of
honor intervened and I had to
tell them how to write to those
worthless nit.wits Of girls and
get them back. Well, it worked
on both cases. And now the
wives are keeping their huS-
bands noses to the grindstone
to buy them things they don't
need, in the good old.fashioned
way.
Nov, very frankly, I want a
husband, a home and a couple Of
babies. I'm tired Of being the
big sister to distressed males
who have been treated badly by
other women.
I'm IS and haven't a great
deal of time to lose. I'm not
bad,looking. and l have $500,
some of which I saved myself.
Most of it was left me by a
grandmother. If I found the
right type of man, I'd like to
put my little nest egg in a home.
Why can't I find him? I'm a

poor peter, and don't drink.
I've been told I'm too literal
that I have no charm, create no
illusion. Why should I cultivate
these things when I don't like
them? I want to be loved for
the things that are natural to
me. What would you suggest for
UNHAPPY"
First, my dear, stop viSualiz-
ing yourself as getting old. Go
out and meet your fate full Of
confidence and do not despair.
Never was a truer word spoken
than "as a man thinketh in his
heart, so is he" You've been
thinking of yourself as a spin
ster confidante of your men
friends-a sort of auxiliary in
their troubles with other girls.
Do for mercy's sake, go into
reverse When they start tell
ing you about their affairs, say
with your gayest laugh that
you've troubles of your own
and being taken for the worlds
sister confessor is one Of them.
It would really be a good
thing for you to change your
environment. Go some place that
doesn't know you. Wear your
prettiest clothes, and don't
start on this sisterly confidence
business.

lie, Miss Young says, when he
wrote: And as the music
changes the song runs round
again."
In her book Miss Young brings
out that the unchanging Sc
quences are so orderly that it
almost amounts to a law of the
evolution of fashion, so that the
changes from year to year are
in no sense the products of
chance and caprice to anything
like the extent and degree that
discussions of these matters have
usually assumed.
The varying cycles through
which we pass are identified by
back-fullnesS, the tubular cycle
and the bell-shaped cycle. The
book contains 80 selected illus
trationS, showing a trend in
creases year after year until it
reaches a climax, and then sub
sides gradually until it has
reached a high or low in that
direction, going on and on in
an unceaSing round of rhythmic
repetition.

In Letter
Ann, one of many girls who
have asked about kissing, used
up two sheets Of paper on the
simple question Of what do I
think about kissing. Every line
of the letter must have been
pleasant to write or why did
she use the word kiss" so often.
She admits she does like to kiss

thinks it is wrong. She adds
naively that she can kiss and

IF you do not get enough

after glare such as in night
automobile driving.
THE amount of vitamin A
you need per day is at least 5000
international units.
THE foods rich in vitamin
A are milk, butter. fruits and

make :: fast and hard rule that
said: No kissing whatever until
the diamond ring is placed on
the proper finger. I know that
would revea, me as an old fogey
who didn't know anything about
young people.
There are kisses and kisses
and I never could see why en-.
gagged couples and married folk
should have exclusive rights to
all of them.
Be Careful
And "Choicy"
But I do think it is silly for
girls to let kissing boys become
a cheap and common habit.
Passionate kisses, for the sake
of the physical thrill they give,
are also out entirely. They are
dangerous.
If I were a girl I would be
"choicy." I'd try to be wise
enough not to misplace kisses,
just as 1 would be cautious about
condolences. If kisses meant a
great deal to me, just wouldn't
give them away without being
sure about the boy who got
them. Then would also try to
keep kissing out of my mind, be-
cause such thinking Is conta-
gious and boys are sure to catch
the urge.

I learned about women from
you, E. H. o. What say, it was
a good education.
The best way to learn about
women is to study men.
That's my secret. My advice
to you, just like to any reader,
