tlan any OIIleI DOy, SO Sle aCCcptS
these invitations. And she is with
Bob so much that the other fellows.
don't have much chance to get
date, so they stop asking her.
In other cases, Bob will simply
ask Barbara to go steady with him,
and to turn down all other requests
for dates. Personally, we think this
is poor stuff on Bob's part. If Bar
bara thinks enough Of him, she
won't want to go out with any ono
else. If she doesn't Bob gains moth
ing by trying to force such an ar
rangement.
When a fellow and girl start to
90 steady, there is usually no formal
or even informal engagement. But
if they keep it up, they probably
will soon have at least an under
standing"
What we think Of the whole idea
depends chiefly on the age of the
boy and the girl. For those in their
teens, particularly, it has definite
disadvantages. 1t narrows their
social experience, keeps them from
meeting other desirable boys and
girls, may cost them some good
times. It takes girl out of circu-
lation, and if the arrangement
breaks up and doesn't lead to a real
engagement, it may take her a long
time to recover the popularity she
has lost.
We believe that two young people
should avoid going steady unless
they are ready to consider a formal
engagement in the not-too- distant
future. But if you have it" so badly
that you don't care to be with any
body else, what we say won't make
much impression on you! The best
thing to do is to try to avoid
getting it that badly! And certainly
we wouldn't 60 steady if we pre-
ferred not to, simply because some
Possessive Paul requested it.
We agree with you that the ques-
ton when can I see you again?"
puts a girl on the spot. The fellow
is actually asking her to make the
next date, whereas it is certainly
his place to suggest time and an
occasion.

Good Posture
Can Add Inch
To Height
Helpful Exercises
And Stretching
Aid to Figure
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

The shorties in the world want
to know how to grow taller, so here
are few excellent suggestions
given by Howard " Inches, who has
spent his life on health research.
AS I have told you countless
times, good posture can add an
inch to your height and Mr.. Inches
agrees.
Correct posture" he states, "is
not ungainly and is not stiff. 1t
is rhythmical and beautiful-it
should be graceful, simple and easy.
Accentuate the beautiful lines of
your body and you will find your
self in the correct posture auto
matically. Keep your shoulders back
but not tensely - relax them.
Lengthen the line between your
chin and waist line by growing tall,
with chin in and chest out. Keep
your buttocks tucked under, and
hold your abdomen in. The balls of
your feet should be the center of
balance and you should be ready
to spring forward at a moments
notice. Standing thus you are at
full height"
To stretch abdominal wall and
neck:
Stand firmly on your feet with
balance of the body on the balls
of the feet. Place the palms of
both hands over the buttocks, and
then throw your head backward.
Slide the hands down the back
of your legs slowly, as you lean
back as far as possible. To keep
your balance, bend your knees, push
ing the lower part Of your body
forward.
Note stretchment of hip area,
upper abdomen and throat. Re-
turn slowly to position, relax, and
repeat exercise. Five times in all.
Through the above exercise, and
the one following, you may slim
your waistline, develop your shoul-
ders normally and strengthen your
pectoral muscles. It also corrects
fatty knees.
Women with fatty deposits
around knees should begin this
exercise moderately, and within
30 or so days, they will be able
to stretch completely.
Kneel down on the floor, sit back
on your feet and lean backward
supporting yourself by palms placed
on the floor either side Of you.
Now lower, yourself gradually,
bending your arms until elbows
touch floor, and bending your head
back as far as possible. You will
feel a stretchment throughout the
length of your body. Then raise
yourself slowly to the sitting posi-
ton.
Note: This last exercise should
be attempted only If you have lin
bered your body. Do it once the
first day, and increase one time
every second day until you do it
six or eight times day without feel
ing too much of strain.
Continually hold yourself in good
posture, and practice these two ex-
ercises daily If you wish to stretch
yourself as tall as possible.

a girl of 16 My husband is 40 and
he has fallen in love with a girl of
%. He begs me to divorce him SO
he can marry her Says that he
loves her more than he ever cared
for me and that he gets more hap
piness out of being with her than
he ever did with me. He gets S225
a month salary and says that if I
will let him go he will give us all
he can to help support us. He has
no complaint to make against me.
He just doesn't love me any more
and loves the girl, whose parents
have turned her out of the house
because Of her affair with him, which
has lasted more than four years
now I still love my husband and
don't know what to do.

ROAST LON OF PORK,

Season the pork with salt and pep
per. Place it fat side up on a rack
in an open roasting pan.. Do not
add water and do not cover the pan.
Insert a meat thermometer so that
the bulb reaches the center of the
thickest muscle. Place in a slow
oven 600 degrees to $50 degrees F.
and roast until the thermometer reg
listers 1875 degrees F. This requires
usually from 80 to IS minutes per
pound.
The pork loin is very easily carved
if you have your meat retailer saw
across the ribs close to the back
bone. 1t is not necessary to have
him remove that piece, for during
roasting the backbone will loosen
and is easily removed before the
roast is placed on the platter. Use
the ribs as a guide when cutting
and you will find carving is a
simple matter.
When carving, the host should
cut close against the side of each
rib, giving alternate slices with a
bone and without. If the loin is
large. one might get two slices be-
tween each rib, for roast pork is
more tempting when thinly sliced.
The colorful platter pictured
above shows the loin of pork served
with tomato cups filled with
steamed rice. The cups of tomato
are filled with fluffy, cooked rice,
dotted with butter and placed in
the oven with the pork loin until
thoroughly heated. A few bits of
pickle or green pepper sprinkled
over the top gives added dash to
pretty platter.
FRESH SHREDDED PINEAPPLE.
Cut meat carefully from inside of
a fresh pineapple, leaving the shell
intact and saving the piece sliced
off the top for a lid" complete
with foliage. Shred the meat with
a strong silver fork until it is soft
and fine. Sweeten with sugar if de-
sired and stuff back into pineapple
shell. Chill until ready for use
Serve in the shell, with lid on top

who like to use such substitutes for
meat during Lent. There seem to
be plenty of fresh vegetables and
fruits about, at reasonable prices,
with the possible exception of string
beans, which have gone sky-high in
price and are about as rare as the
proverbial hens teeth. And deal
ers seem quite pessimistic about
their recovery in the near future.
Personally I don't care so much
I've never seen anything to rave
about in string beans!

Correct for Young
Boy to Send Out
His Invitation
By EMILY POST.

Many problems are difficult to
answer definitely because their
answers depend upon the customs
Of an individual community. An
example of what I mean is the
problem in this letter: 1--WE have
a son of 18 who wants to invite
his friends to an afternoon cocktail
party here at home Cocktails in
this case means fruit punch and
chocolate. We are perfectly willing
to let him give this party, but I'm
wondering whether he is right in
believing it correct for him alone
to invite the girls to my house"
In New York boy OF 18 always
sends out his own invitations. 1t is
taken for granted that, although his
mother is not hostess, she will be
there. The invitations would proper
ly be written on your sons visiting
cards: Cocktails, to o'clock Sat-
urday, February 10. If you want to
make it plain that cocktails are to be
soft ones he could put this word
in quotations, and if invitations sent
by young men are not customary
in your community your own visit
ing card with no writing on it,
could be inclosed to any girl he
doesn't know well if he thinks 1t
necessary to assure her that you
will be present.

Ny Neighbor Says:

When planning your flower
garden, plan to have rotation
Of bloom from early spring
until late fall. The seed cata-
logues will help you to do this.
Canned soups may serve
many purposes: Pour asparagus
soup over cooked lima beans,
rice or noodles and bake it for
Is minutes; mix mushrooms
and celery soup and serve it
with diced cooked chicken, fish
or meat poured over crackers
or toast; mix tomato soup with
chopped cooked meats or fish
and use the combination as a
topping for rice, toast or potato
cakes.
Be careful not to overlook
egg yolks, since they are apt to
curdle. When adding yolks to
q cooked mixture first beat
them with a fork and then add
a small amount of the cooked
mixture. When the combina-
ton is well mixed add it to the
rest Of the food. Cook it for
only a minute and then serve
Immediately.
Wash the broiler rack of your
stove in plenty of hot soapy
water-just as you would wash
any other cooking utensils. Dry
it carefully before replacing it.
You will then have a broiler
that will continuously look like
