The simple button-front style

who must consider their size is now
more popular than ever and offers
an excellent choice for your first

If you have an abnormal amount
of trouble seeing at night, or can't
drive after sundown because car
lights blind you, try adding lots OF
vitamin A to your diet. This vitamin
Is a powerful foe of night blindness.
The most dangerous thing you can
do is to fall asleep while you drive.
There are many fatal accidents each
year and many near accidents be-
cause drivers fall asleep at the
wheel.
If you get sleepy on long drives,
take off your shoes. The play OF air
about your feet is supposed to keep
you awake, and many people tell me
that this works like magic. Loud
singing and shouting will startle you
as well as others into wakefulness
and increase your oxygen intake.
After long drive the majority OF
people experience their greatest ia
tigue through the neck and shoul-
ders. This is partly due to faulty
posture and the habit of slumping
while driving. The following routine
will relieve this tired sensation.
Lie fiat on the floor, not the bed.
Slowly stretch your neck against
the floor, making yourself as long as
possible. Rest in this position with
the spine straightened. Now turn
on your tummy and place hot pad
between your shoulders and one at
the base Of your neck.

These teen-age boys who are less
concerned about girls than some of
their contemporaries are often the
best long time bets as friends or pos
sible husbands. The fellow who is
girl crazy at this age frequently
doesn't amount to much. We think
you're far better of with this boy
than you would be with some would

And this might serve 10 increase
his interest in you-a little competi-
ton often does.
Certainly you should be patient
in this situation, avoiding anything
like a reproachful attitude toward
the boy, or a tendency to be de-
manding, or an effort to control his
comings and goings and his mas
culine activities. Let him feel that
he is welcome when he wants to
see you, and make those occasions
as pleasant for him as you posi-
bly, can.
But don't set yourself up as a
rival to his masculine friends. II

In the position Of seeming to criticize
the boy for not dating you more
often. That will only make him
resentful and uneasy. The only
thing you can do is to make his
evenings with you so much fun that
he'll be eager to come back for more.
But If you really don't believe in
going steady. watch your step!
When this type of boy falls. he's
apt to fall hard. If he starts dating
you too much, you're liable to find
yourself before long in the middle
of a serious love affair.
Instead of sitting around worrying
about his lengthy absences, we think
it would be better for you to accept
his company when he offers it, but
also to have dates with other boys.
