NEAR MISS FAIRFAX:
~ I'm 20 years old and in
love with a girl who is two years
oloer than I am. We've been
gong together for four years.
Everything was perfect till
proposed marriage. Then she
told me I'd better get another
girl-one I could really love, and
not bother with her any more.
She gives no explanation for
her act. For the past few days
I've been living in a daze. not
knowing where to turn for ad-
vice. 1t would be a great help
to me if you could give my let
ter a little space, with a good
answer.
RAYMOND
Judging from letters which
come to me. girls often send
the boy friends away, and when
they've done it, change their
minds and discover that they've
driven off the "one and only"
You might do as she suggests,
and see how it works.
At the same time, she may be
serious. Perhaps she doesn't
want to marry a younger man.
And she may think you are not
In a position to marry. She
may care for someone else.
There may be all sorts of
reasons why she doesn't want
to become serious. She may be
temporarily fed up" with you.
AND I think a little absent treat
ment is the best way of finding
out.
Meanwhile, don't NOPE, but
go around with other girls and
enjoy yourself.

He may fall into the habit inno-

My Dear Miss Blake:
We had been going together
for about three years. off and
on and having so much fun
when in each others company
that a serious thought had never
entered our heads.
While visiting my girl at q
friends apartment one weekend
we were left alone to get our
own lunch. AS we were clown
ing around the apartment my
girl said, Just suppose we were
married and living in an apart
ment like this" We then began
visualizing the things we would
do and I decided then and there

I came upon this letter today
which throws this question
wide open and begs for an an
swer.

Is that too embarrassing? One
chap to whom I was formerly
engaged, used to buy the gas
and we split on expenses. Now
there is one fellow who takes me
walking, to shows, to concerts
and dances in town. But I know
he would like to go for rides as
he is trying to buy a second
hand car. Because I like him
and would like to be with him
more often, I just can't say, Why
don't you use mine?' I am afraid
he would be embarrassed and
that people might gossip. I
would think that myself If he
ever suggested using my car.
Some Tried
To Sponge
"I have known boys who not
only asked for dates but sug'
gested using my car. But I al
days said no. Sometimes to get
away from this I would say the
car belonged to my brother. But
what should I do or say to the
right kind of boys?
my mother says boys are
afraid of girls who own cars
and l am hurting myself owning
one.
Another thing, If I am driv-
ing and pass boy friend walk
ing, should I lust wave or stop
and invite him in the car. I
hate to do the driving when a
fellow is in the car and maybe
he doesn't want to, either.
"JAY."
I might suggest that you could
end the problem by selling the
car. But won't, because I think
a girl has just as much right to
own a car as a boy. But car
ownership by a girl, does pre-
sent a problem. We are in a
period of adjustment and girls
owning cars are still a novelty
and upsetting to boys who think
the boy ought to own it.
Ask Him to

One way you can get around
the situation is to ask a boy to
drive you somewhere. Ask it as

Miss Louise Stitt, direc tor Of
the minimum wage division Of
the Women's Bureau, U. S. De-
partment of Labor, will oe pres
ent both days to talk with visi-
tors on how best to apportion
the clothes budget.
Originated
Findings
You will recall that Miss Stits
is more or less responsible for
the research which enabled the
Women's Bureau to determine
what sort of living quarters,
how many clothes, what kind of
food and what recreational life
were adequate for a woman en-
ployed.
In talking to Miss Stitt yes
terday she denied deserving the
credit for these findings, as she
said many bureaus and agencies
cooperated.
cts true" she admitted,
"that the approach to the prob
lem was somewhat different
than that employed heretofore.
Formerly everyone had started
the other way around. A woman
makes so much per week, what
can she buy with it?"
What Things
Actually Needed
1--WE decided to. take a more
direct route, so asked ourselves
what must a woman have to en-
able her to maintain a decent
standard of living, in keeping
with the best in her particular
group?"
1--WE took into consideration"
Miss Stitt went on, that living
means something more than
mere existing and that happi-
ness is necessary to health. For
this reason, you will find, as an
instance by the budget worked
out for the working girl in New
York State, $3.50 a year for
candy and Sodas, and the inclu-
sion Of a party dress in the mini
mum budget requirements OF a
New York State working girl"
Considered Importance
OF Fun
THE budget could have
stopped with the listing of the
things needful for food clothing
and shelter" Miss Stitt said.
1--WE went further than that and
recognized the human craving
for beauty, companionship, fun"
Clothing must be cookbook
ing as well as warm. The girls
room must be in a decent section
of the town and must be more
than a mere hole-in-the-wal.
She must be outfitted and
equipped in such way that she
will not feel inferior to her nor
NAL associates. She must have
money to spend for movies,
sports, reading. study, or other
leisure time activities"
When the budget was decided
upon, it's cost in various States
aided in determining the mini
mum wage for that State.
THE budget is only a mini

ing levels from falling below
certain standards, not to hold

ADD MACARoNI AND EGG NOODLE COOKING


This business of being homemak-
er really carries with it much more
than the job of preparing the three
meals a day. You are expected to-
be a conversationalist, an expert in
child training, dressmaker, interior
decorator, trained nurse and chef, be-
sides having hobby of some sort
and taking an interest in civic affairs.
With all of this you still like to set
the best table the food budget will al
low. It's no wonder that the busy
homemaker is always on the watch
for some new tricks she can do with
the old stand-bys that will not take
too much out of the food budget.
In selecting food for family there
are many needs to be considered-e-
economy, taste, quality, appearance and
ease of preparation. Macaroni, egg
noodles, spaghetti and other shapes
of macaroni products meet all these
requirements. They give to any home
maker the economy in cost, ease of
preparation, taste and flavor appeal,
as we'll as a standard, high quality
food product that has universal ap-
peal. It is true, of course, that no
food is so good that your family will
want to see it on the table day after
day in the same form, but when serv-
ing macaroni, spaghetti or egg noodles
remember there are innumerable ways
in which it can be prepared. Familiar
ity with the possibilities of combining
macaroni products in recipes with var
ious dairy products, meats, fish, eggs
cheese and vegetables will be an asset
to any thrifty homemaker. They not
only insure wholesome, low cost meals,
but also make possible the conversion
of leftovers into attractive, appetiz-
ing dishes.
When reputation brands are pur-
chased there is no doubt about the
quality of the products and the sue
cess of the dishes to be prepared from
them. They will keep their shape
when boiled, and remain firm but ten
der, not pasty and sticky. Best results
come from cooking these products in
rapidly boiling salted water. Be sure
to cook them only until they are ten
der.
Like all good cooks you probably
keep dozens of favorite macaroni, egg
noodles and spaghetti recipes, tucked
away in your bag of cooking tricks.
It will pay you, however, to make
room for the really inspired combina-
tions that follow. They are quite diff
ferent, yet quite simple and you'll
want to be prepared for second help
ings.
