woman to overcome jealousy is to strive, not to have confidence in a certain man, but to have confidence in herself.
 No amount of love for one woman will blind Q mans eyes to beauty in other women.
 No man enjoys hearing a woman discuss her weight, her new per- manent, her health, or an old beau.
 Any man gets more of a thrill out of dialing @ girls telephone number than having her dial his.
 Any man would rather be called by his rightful named even If it's Elmer) when there are other people present than by any cute pet name, no matter how original.
 A man may laugh as hard as any woman present at the devastating remarks Of a cattily clever woman but he will not bother to find out her telephone number. MEN DON'T TAKE TO "CLEVER" WOMEN
 Men expect certain "weaknesses" in women and recent the absence of them. For instance, Q woman is expected to think there is something sweet about all babies (even when they are funny looking to a man); to be disturbed over the troubles of others-no matter how obviously they courted disaster; and to set great store by anniversaries-espec- ially the ones 8 man occasionally forgets.
 Once a woman has laughted at 8 gift a man chose for her, he will never again really enjoy giving her a present.
 A comfortable chair, a good read- ing light, and handy ash trays will do more to keep a married man at home than any amount of money and time his wife might spend at beauty salons to keep her face and her figure.
 If girl knew all that at twenty, the next ten years of her life would mt be so hectic. But no girl does.

 Did you ever consider reading as an aid to charm? It's one of the best, especially for certain types of women.
 Consider the woman who is for- ever fidgeting with her compact be- cause she believes that she never will find anything to cure her en- larged pores. This woman has more to gain from reading than from any cosmetic on earth.
 Not that she doesn't need cos- metics. She needs good ones especial iy an astringent that will contract her pores. But I suspect she also needs something to contract that old demon, self . consciousness, which keeps her mind on her skin, perhaps even more than she knows.
 And reading may accomplish Q very great deal toward that wo- mans achieving self-forgetfulness. I mean any kind of reading: News papers, magazines, novels, biog- raphies, adventure stories, books about anything under the sun be- sides the readers pores.
 If books interest her deeply, they may prove a source of constant mental and emotional stimulation and balm; and ct the very least they will bring mental relaxation, which is every whit as important to charm as are facial messages and other physically relaxing renew ing techniques.
 BEAUTY OUT
 OF BOOKS
 Once in a while, too, the self conscious beauty seeker will find some directly applicable ideas in books that are not labeled as beauty secret books. For instance, here's one, that just came in. It IS a book about how to develop habits on the sunny side of the personality ledger. The author, Ralph A. Habas, lists some pat suggestion that may help the self-consciouS person little things like standing erect.
 More important, he tries to get at what's back of that habit of thinking about defects, and he re- minds the self-conscious person: Even when people are thinking about us, they are not necessarily thinking the things we think they are thinking" Besides, he says, consolingly, the self-conscious per- son may miss some of the fun that more aggressive people have, but he escapes getting into as much trouble too.

VERTIGO, TTNNTTUs
 AND DEAFNESS

A century ago pr. Meniere, a French physician, described 8 syn- drome or group of symptoms pro- duced by some lesion of the laby- rinth (inner ear), probably henorr- haze or inflammation in the serli- circular canals, the symptoms be- ing vertigo or dizziness, nausea, vomiting, tinnitus (head noises) and progressive deafness. During the attack, which lasts from Q few minutes to several hours, the vic- tim lies perfectly quiet, afraid to move lest the vertigo be aggravat- ed. After the attack the patient may be somewhat dizzy and have 6 staggering gait for several days.
 Little is known about the cause or treatment of Meniere's disease. Charcot, the famous French neuro- logist, recommended quinine as a remedy. He advised six grains of Quinine twice daily, with meals, for fifteen days, a rest of eight days, then another fifteen-days course as before, and another eight days rest, until four or five such courses have been completed. The head noises and vertigo may seem age gravated ct first, but presently gratifying relief follows and in some cases apparently e care.
