Manners
of the
Moment

H. H. T. thinks that when one of
a bridge foursome is dieting, the
other three should give UP their
raves over the refreshments. It
makes life too hard for the dieter
OF course, there are two sides to
this dieting etiquette. Probably it
would be nice for the dieter if her
friends would stop eating entirely.
1t would be so helpful. But really,
H. H. T., I'm inclined to think that
the majority rules in this country
still. And if three at table are all
eating and one isn't eating, it's
asking too much of the three to ex-
pect them to pretend the food is
no good.
I'm in favor of dieters either
keeping very quiet about their diet
ing, or just not going to places
where food is to be served. When
they start talking about what they
can't eat, it's only natural for every
one else to start talking about what
they are missing.
In short, H. H. T., if you are the
dieter in your crowd, it's up to you
to control the conversation over the
refreshment table. Maybe 1t is diff
cult to control both your food and
your conversation on the same day
but you might Try. QEAN.

Sit with your hips we'll back
toward the back of the seat and
concentrate on keeping the vertebra
stretched through the region of the
upper back and the neck.
Your clothes. too. should be taken
into consideration if you do great
deal of driving. Plan for them in
your wardrobe. Remember that
velveteen becomes matted on the
car seat, crisp dimity wrinkles. pleats
come out. and loose jacket tails
crush perversely.
Sleeves that are too tight bind
you, and those that are too loose get
in your way. Appropriateness should
also be considered. Chiffon voile
may not wrinkle. but 1t looks a little
silly on you as you crawl from be-
hind the wheel Of station wagon.
If you drive yourself about, you
will find that firm silks and cottons
and wel-tailored woolens are best
and look well when you get to your
destination.
Today you can buy attractive shoes
with scuff-proof heels, and you
should take an extra pair of gloves
along to put on when you have
finished chauffeuring yourself about.

Jubilant Reader Reports
Advice to Once Unpopular Miss
Seems to Have Hit the Spot!

is often a cloak for an unconscious
feeling of inferiority-is sure to re-
pei boys They see nothing warm
or friendly in you. They are even
afraid of you. You are bad for their
egos, and they realize it almost
instinctively.
"If we're right in this long dis
tance analysis, the things you should
do are obvious. Try to be sincerely
interested in other people-suffi-
ciently so that you are willing to &c
to some trouble to win their friend
ship.
you don't need to learn to be a
wisecracker. Boys enjoy trading
smart remarks with some girls, but
the quieter girl who makes a boy
feel like million dollars also gets
more than her share Of attention.
Being a chemistry shark won't
be a handicap unless you let boys
see that you consider yourself
smarter than they are. and that ii
pleases you to be able to beat them
in their own pet subject.
You must realize that we like
people who make us feel important
and dislike those who make us feel
less important. We're afraid you
have been doing the latter.
We're sending you our Pointers
on Popularity booklet which may
be helpful to you. Best of luck!"
After that letter went out, we
heard nothing more from Irene
until several weeks ago. Then we
got jubilant letter from her, telling
us that she had just been asked
for her first date. We'haven't room
for her whole letter, but we'll quote
a few sentences that will give you
the general idea:
Il though it over and decided that

I was so shy that they couldn't be
blamed for thinking I was high
hating them. After making reso-
luton to be friendly with boys as

thing must be done to make the
boys think me worth going after.
So I fixed my hair more attractively
and started getting clothes that did
things for me. And-my best friend
wouldn't have believed it got a
cute lipstick and now I don't look
like a washout any more.
"The next step was to go out for
the college paper. There's nothing
like sharing an activity or interest
to get acquainted casually and nat
urally with boys. And it was your
column that gave me the idea to 60
in for this sort of thing.
"Weu, it's one of the boys on the
staff who has asked me for the date.
It's tomorrow night, and I can hard
ly wait. But I wanted to show you
the good results produced by your
swell advice. Thank you 70 much
for yosr help.'

I get thousands Of letters from
these bewildered and hopeless ones
saving that they are married to good
men and women who are faithful
and true, good providers and good
housekeepers; that they have lovely
children and beautiful homes and
everything to make them happy,
except that they cannot get along
together.
They live in perpetual strife. They
quarrel over everything from politics
to pie. Neither one can say a word
that isn't the fighting word to the
other. And they want to know how
they can stop it without either one
making a complete surrender and
becoming a doormat for the other
to trample upon.
To which I would humbly suggest
that the best way to stop quarrel
is before it begins. Refuse to be
drawn into An argument. If John
SAYS the moon is made Of green
cheese, let him have his green-cheese
moon in peace. If Mary is set and
determined on wearing a new funny
hat, let her wear it. And If the
pressure gets too great get up and
leave the room. The things you
don't hear don't rile you.
If you don't like your in-laws,
leave EN- be. Keep off of all con-
troversial subjects. There is no use
in starting things that you can't
finish before you get to the divorce
court. Use as much tact in dealing
with your wife or husband as you
would with some one to whom you
we're trying to sell yourself. There
are mighty few quarrels that kiss
or a compliment can't turn into a
goodwill meeting instead OF a riot.
If you are really in earnest about
wanting to stop quarreling with your
husband or wife, apply little COM
mon sense to the situation. Settle
the religious and political dispute
by each giving the other the right
to worship God according to the
dicates of their own conscience and
vote for whom they please. Elimi-
nate the row over the money ques-
tion by making a fair division OF
the family income and giving the
wife an allowance that will keep
her from being always sore over be-
ing an unpaid domestic drudge.
Then why not trade in some of
your pet faults and aversions against
the wife's ditto and stick to your
bargain? If your wife has an allergy
against tobacco and you don't relish
lipsticks and clawlike red finger
nails, swap your cigarettes for them.
That will stop a quarrel that goes

Dp nay l. ndtgPH ana AidPu
When reader takes the advice
We hand out, puts 1t to intelligent
use, and gets results. we like to know
about it, and We like to tell you
about it. So here We 60 with the
success story of Irene S.
Some months ago Irene wrote us
as follows:
Il am 1s, just graduated from
high school, and not at all bad TO
look at. I have come in contact
with lots OF boys at school, I have
lots of girl friends, yet I've never
had a date in my life.
Gould any of these things be the
explanation? First, since I don't
think I need 1t don't wear make
up. Why smear on a lot of paint
just because every one else does?
Second, although I can converse as
well as any one my age on any sub
ject, I can't think of thing to say
when the talking becomes nothing
but a series of bright and not-so-
bright cracks. I notice that the
girls who are most popular with the
boys are the ones who can say the
smartest things. How do you learn
to make bright remarks, and what
do you do If you can't learn?
Third, I'm chemistry shark.
Need say more? What could scare
away the boys faster than girl who
beats them in their own subject?
Except for these, I can't think
OF any reason why the boys don't
know I'm alive. How important do
you think they are, and do you have
any other ideas on the subject?"
Well, we got out our patent ana
lyzer and analyzed Irene's case In
this letter:
First, regarding the matter of
makeup. We can't know whether
or not you need it, but we don't
think the lack of 1t would be impor-
tant enough to keep you from ever
having date.
However, we do think that your
slant on the makeup question NAV
be important. Your rather scorn-
ful and somewhat superior point of
view may be a symptom of YOUR
general attitude toward boy-and-
girl relationships.
Much the same viewpoint is ex-
pressed in your comment on light
conversation, and on being a chem
fstry shark. Now, we realize that
your way of expressing these things
may be a defensive reaction, aroused
by an unconscious feeling of infe-
rlority because boys don't pay more
attention to you. But such an atti-
tude is liable to creep into all your
relationships with other young peo-
pie. You seem to be taking the
position that you're okay as is, and
II boys don't have enough sense to
be interested In you, the heck with
them!
Frankly, that attitude is fatal. A

This weeks articles well be for
women who drive cars-and today
that means most women.
So much Of our time is spent In
our automobiles that the problems
of grooming, dress, exposure to sun
and wind, emotional states, and
posture while sitting in our modern
chariots, take on new significance.
Walking as means of trans
portatiOn is thing of the past, and
thus We are robbed of the ensuing
exercise. This is because of the
time element, the rush in which we
live. and also is due to habit and
physical laziness.
In the days of the model T. driv-
ing a car afforded some exercise.
In fact, it was often a question of
survival of the fittest you or the
carr with no holds barred!
However, today's mechanical Won
ders bring us fingertip control and
hull US into still more advanced
state of physical softneS.
I do not propose to- get the De-
partment of Public Safety on my
neck by advising you to stand on
your head while driving or indulge
in any form of exercise while your
car is in motion. Nevertheless, if
you will count up the hours lost each
week while you wait at school for
Junior, at the corner for the post
man, at the station for your hus-
band, or at the library for Aunt
Nellie, you will find that the sum
total represents enough time to
figure mold you into a glamour girl.
While you wait, you can do the
following without danger of more
than quizzical glance from passers-
by:
Gross your right leg over your
left. Make large circles with your
right foot-the better to slim your
ankle, my dear. Do the same with
the left foot.
Sit on the edge of the seat and
turn slightly sideways. Lift the left
leg as far as you can with stiff
knee. AS you do so, pull the toes
back toward you. This smoothes
out Jumps on the calf of the leg.
Do the same with right leg.
Turn your head slowly to the left,
feeling the pull of the muscles. Now
turn it slowly to the right. Keep
the chin level as you do this.
Drop your head back to the right.
Lift the head. Drop 1t back to the
left. Lift.
Cushions being what they are and
human nature what 1t is, there is a
tantalizing tendency to slump while

cially noticeable in the region of the
