interest. And when some one makes
you appear as glamorous as an old
shoe, it doesn't help the romantic
cause. I'd appreciate any little bit
of advice you can give, and I'm sure
other girls would, too"
Well, Jean, we think the best way
to solve this situation would be to
effect a gradual change in the rela-
tionship between you and your
brother. Such change almost
always is called for when brothers
and sisters reach their middle or
late teens.
Before that they naturally do a
lot Of childish scrapping. But from
now on, there Is no reason why
you and he shouldn't be pretty good
friends. And since you are the elder,
1t will be up to you to take the lead
In bringing about the altered rela-
tionship.
If we were you, we'd enlist our
mothers help in this situation only
as last resort. Handling the mat
ter yourself would be far better
strategy.
Your brothers chief pleasure in
kidding you about your eating or
your ears results from the fact that
It gets your goat 1t delights him
to puncture what he considers your
excessive feminine ego. You see
you have become a young lady dur
ing the last couple of years, and as
such. you probably take yourself
rather seriously. He thinks you are
putting on unjustified airs and il
therefore fills him with fiendish glee
to embarrass you.
Obviously, the way to correct this
situation is to refuse to let his re-
marks bother you. You'll have tc
bring your sense of humor into play
If he makes crack about your
ears, 60 him one better and then
lead the laugh at your own expense
When he sees that you are getting
as much fun out of his teasing as
he is and that it is completely fail
ing to ruffle you he will no longer
get any kick out of it.
And incidentally. your boy friend
will secretly admire your poise and
your good craftsmanship.
But if you find it impossible to
deal with the situation in this way
we'd suggest a frank. serious talk
about it with your brother. 1t may
be difficult for you to approach him
on a cards-on-the-table, man-to-
man basis. but If you can do it We
think the results will be gratifying.
Almost any boy Is bound to fall
for this type of approach. He may
be puzzled and uneasy at first, but
when he sees you mean it your stock
will take a big rise for him. You
might point out to him, for ex-
ample. that in a couple of years
he'll be having dates, and ask him
how he like it if his girls younger
brother played the pest as he is
now doing
Frankly, we think that this mat
ter will correct itself in a year or
two, as your brother gets a little
older.

Several Ways
To Split Up
The Bill
Bv EMILY POST.

Dividing a restaurant check
evenly between the men in the party
Is admittedly the easiest way to
settle accounts. but as the following
letter explains, 1t might be most
unfair to some one of them.
my husband and I recently were
invited to join three other couples
who are in the habit of going out
together. At the end of the eve
ming one of the men took the check
looked it over, and then divided the
total amount by four. The others
quite obviously were used to paying
the check in this way, so my hus-
band could Of course say nothing.
We have very little money for going
out, and naturally I ordered the
least expensive items on the menu,
as did my husband. Later when
We had to pay for the expensive
things the six others ate, it seemed
to us not only unfair, but it put
us IN the very embarrassing posi-
ton OF having to borrow from the
person We knew best in order to
make up our share. Although we do
enjoy their company. we hardly
dare risk going out on another
such occasion. Could you suggest
anything that we could do? And
will you also tell us if this is what
people call Dutch treat'?"
I think the only thing you can
do Is to explain to these people,
the next time they ask you to go
on a similar party, that you hate
to bring up the subject but that you
will be able to go only if you and
your husband pay just for the food
you order. This would be much
better than putting yourself in the
false position of doing something
you can't afford to do. You either
do this. or it would be best not to
go at all. Dutch treat" means that
each pays his own way-the way
they divided the check and the way
you propose are equally correct
Therefore, you may quite properly
ask that it be done your way.

Shell Tears Up Finnish
Road Just in Front of

By WILLIAM L. WHITE.

SOMEWHERE IN FINLAND
We have driven perhaps Is minutes
away from the front lines-always
through a snow-laden forest of tall
spruce. It is bitter cold-33 below
Eero-all car windows are shut, our
hands and feet already cooling de-
spite gloves and boots. We see, over
the drivers shoulder through the
windshield, a clearing ahead and q
cross road. Suddenly the leading
car stops. Maybe to look at a sign.
So we Stop. too. In the war zone
cars usually drive far apart, for a
cluster will tempt q Russian plane
to dive and machine gun the road.
But this one winds through a dense
wood, so we are fairly close togeth-
er. in order not to lose the pilot car
Ut fork.
Anyway, the sky is gray with a
low ceiling; surely not even scout
plane would venture out Our mo-
tor is still running-a loud under
tone purr in the closed car-and we
hear nothing else But what's that
ahead? The doors of that car are
opening-even the rear doors-peo-
pie are jumping out-starting to run.
We jerk at the icy metal knobs of
our doors. We open them to let
great whining scream into the car,
and, as our feet touch the hard
packed snow, a geyser of snow and
dirt rises from the exact middle of
the road about 10 yards ahead, mid
way between the cars.
A Dud.
There is now q cash as thick as
mans waist in the road and from
the end protrudes the shiny snout of
q Russian shell-sparkling and
twinkling as the geyser descends
from above it in a shower of snow.
We drop fiat to the ground, for
what you hope is dud may turn
out to be a badly set timing fuse.
But when, after Is seconds, there
Is no explosion we get up-and then
roll back into ditch, warned by
another loud, wavering, wobbling,
screaming whe-e-e-e! coming over
the forest, followed by a bang on
the road ahead.
Get off the road" shouts the
captain who is conducting us, "they
are shelling it! Go into the forest"
The Firms are great race. They
produce men of unsurpassed cour-
age, also on occasion the fastest
runners on this globe, and these
qualities of heart and hindquarters
blend to magnificent climax in the
officers they assign to conduct jour-
naIstS.
That captain took the fence with
his legs doubled at the knees like
q deer, and whisked into the forest
like bullet. We stumbled admir-
ingly after. my long hooded ku klux

Once in the woods I discovered
another practical use for 1t. When
ever shell comes whe-e-e-eing over,
my mantle keeps the snow from
getting down my neck or between
my sweater and shirt as I dive into
the snow. During the next 10 min
