 trust these young people more than many mothers do. Given half a chance, they will take prety good care of themselves.
 DON'T EXPECT
 CONFIDENCES
 Parents are afraid of letting young people have too much free- dom. And right they are, too, if the restriction does not become a ball and chain to keep them from any normal experience whatsoever. recommend the crowd that goes in for health mixing, dances, super vised intelligently, sports, movie par ties and so on.
 But above all, I think I should scrutinize silently and carefully the doubtful company or the too daring chum. These children are easily led, being so romantic. So keep them same. But don't forget that you were fifteen once and that it used to be the marrying age. Try to understand your girl. Don't expect all her confidence. But if you try to see her as she is, some of 1t will be shyly offer- ed, at least. Then, keep her trust.

Gl0r1ing Yourself
By Alicia Hart
NEA Service Staff Writer

 At this time of year, pedicures take on new importance. ToeleSs street shoes and beach sandals call for perfectly groomed feet with toe nails polished, if not actually lac- quered.
 The best time to begin pedicure is immediately after you have had a warm bath. Before the bath, re- move old nail lacquer from toes. While in the tub, scrub your feet with a brush. Afterward, dry them carefully and massage little cuticle remover around the base of each nail. Shorten nails with sharp mani- cure scissors or special clippers, then smooth down rough edges with an emery board. Push back cuticle with cotton-tipped or ange stick.
 Callouses may be rubbed gently and briefly with piece of moist ened pumice. Bunions and corns ought to be treated by specialist. If shoes irritate a certain spot, special pads may be worn. For feet which perspire too freely, there are excellent anti-perspirant foot pow ders.
 GET LARGE SHOES
 FOR SUMMER
 Before polish is applied, feet should be rinseo again, dried thoroughly and the nails buffed lightly.
 For the sake of comfort during summer months, it's a good idea to have street shoes a half size larger than those you wore last

tition, can step into it.
 It's mercenary for a woman to want to turn her talent or her abil- ity into cash, so that she can do work she likes better than Scrubbing floors and ironing shirts.
 It's selfish Of her not to feel that her job should be given as conso- lation prize to the woman who had less success than she in landing 6 husband.
 It's shameless of her to want the independence that money - and money alone gives to woman The kind of independence that makes it necessary for her to live with a husband only as long as she loves him.
 It's mercenary of her to get a thrill out of a pay check; out of spending money that she earned herself, instead of being content to have her husband dole out money to her or put her on an allowance like school child.
 It's selfish of her to want as many of the good things for herself and her family as hard work can earn.
 Yes, they must be a bad lot = these working wives. They have the nerve to think that to all citizens in democracy are due the same rights and privileges.

BY MARIAN YOUNG

NEA Service Staff Correspondent New York.-The old-fashioned bride who attempted to keep track of every penny ana, after a year, ended up with half dozen ledgers, stacks of paper on which she had scrubbed, bad case of nerves and no sign of a balanced budget in sight, was of on the wrong foot.
 Today's budget is simplicity it. self. And, more importantly, is workable.
 "The budget which contains more than 10 class!fications isn't prac- tical," says Professor David F. Jordan, famous New York Univer- sity expert on the management of personal finance. "At least it Is not possible to balance it. For instance, all you have to do is forget to enter in the ledger the three cents you spent for newspaper and a com- plicated budget simply won't bal- ance."
 Professor Jordan, author of sev- eral books, among them Managing Personal Finances" favors a budget of six classif1cations. These are; Housing, which means rent, or in- stallments on house if you are buying one; house operation, mean- ing gas, lights, telephone, laundry and the like; food; clothing; ad- vancement tamusement comes in this category); savings, including life insurance.
 NOW" Professor Jordan explain ed, If the income for the family is $1, 800 year, or $150 per month, the bride will discover that 25 per cent of that goes for housing; 10 per cent for house operation, 30 per cent for food, 12 per cent for cloth- ing, Is per cent for advancement and 8 per cent for savings. With some slight variations, of course. these percentages apply to incomes of $1O0 per month and $2oO per month"
 USE PERCENTAGES M AS STANDARDS
 Naturally, there will be slight va riations in your own budget even though your income is exactly $l,- 800 a year. However, If there are any appreciable discrepancies be- tween the percentages and the way your own finances work out during an entire year, something very definitely is all wrong.
 Why do so many young couples find themselves, after two or three year of marriage, saddled with debt? How can a bride keep budget that will head off the disaster of in- solvency?
 First of all-says Professor Jor- dan-she should guard against put ting in special classification any

DIGNITY MY EYE

My friend Webster says g dowager is colloquially an elderly woman of imposing appearance. In my inno- cence I always thought a dowager was a woman with corporation, and I thought she was just middle aged. Somehow I assumed she could not arrive at an elderly age as a dowager, for shed be worn out, or her cardiovascular system would be, from the constant drain on her en- ergy pushing the corporation around. It is too bad that corpulency is so commonly mistaken for dignity. That's all have against dowagers as an institution. Although it is ter- rifying when you first catch sight of a dowager bearing down on you, if you take a couple of deep breaths and pull in your chin and stand your ground the chances are you will discover that she is as pleas. ant and charming person as you could wish to talk without, Web- ster to the c. n. w., don't ever re- gard her as an elderly woman. If she is more than middle aged she simply can't be 6 dowager.
 I am not sure that men past thirty are less likely to acquire cor- porations than are women past thirty. If women had 'em more commonly than men did in the past sk xr,o rJo,rI,fIaea IA1n %SN ufox,e, or corsets. Women still wear more or less harness which serves as more or less support and SO lessens the need for muscular support. The more such harness is worn the weaker and habbier the muscles become. In time the woman is Q pathological case without her harness on. Some persons who are ten or fif- teen per cent overweight do not look so fat; while others who are only few pounds overweight look quite fat. The difference is largely in the state of the rnusculature, par ticularly the lumbar, hip and belly muscles. One with good muscle tone has good posture and carries his or her excess weight more gracefully: one with poor muscle tone is flabby, slouchy, ungainly, clumsy and drags his surplus around in a constant slump. Even if body weight is nor- nal or below normal, good muscle tone makes the difference between graceful or pleasing appearance and an rnfavorable impression.
 Good muscle tone, elasticity, re- silence, does not mean freak de- velopment or strenuous exercise of any kind. It is attained or retained rather by moderate but regular daily exercise.
 Speaking if girth control, 1t is well to remember that 1t is bulk or size rather than weight that one should watch. On any reduction regimen let the tape measure, not the scale, be your guide. Thousands of young men who went from white collar jobs into the training camps at the time of the World war gained ten or twelve pounds in weight in the first few weeks in camp, yet re- duced inches in girth. Good mus- cle weighs more than stacker flesh which is largely fat, but takes up less room.
