gets branded as Toms girl or Dicks
girl and that takes her out Of the
running.
1t makes her lose many good
times that men with more money
and more attractiveness than Tom
or Dick possess would give her if
she was still in circulation. And if
Tom or Dick fade out of the pic
ture she is left on the shelf with
no men on the string, worse of than
widow or a divorce because she
has no insurance money or alimony
to console her.
Boys think that they put some
thing over on girls when they make
them give up all other boys as the
price of their attention. In g way
this is true. For one thing, it auto
matically eliminates all rivals, and,
for another thing, it certainly keeps
a girl humble and in her place to
know that it is either John or no
body.
But the boy does not get of as
scot-free as he thinks he does. He
also is a victim of the keeping
company" custom, for if he drags
one girl with him wherever he goes
he misses the chance of getting ac-
quainted with other girls and per-
haps finding one more to his liking.
Likewise, while theoretically it is
easy for man to rid himself of a
woman for whom he has lost his
taste, in reality it is one of the most
difficult things in the world to do.
1t takes man with harder heart
and more backbone than the aver
age man possesses to tear clinging
hands away from him and not be
melted down by woman's tears.
And, too, when a couple have been
going together for years and years,
public opinion marries them, no
matter how tired they may have

Dear Miss NOVEL;: Do you think
we could set a garden path of
bricks and have it satisfactory? ?
What is the procedure? ]. B. D.
Answer-Lay of your walks care
fully with string. being sure that
they are straight, and planning
them to carry a certain number
of bricks in width. Then dig a
trench the depth of a brick plus
inch, the full length Of your walk
Then cover this trench with a 1-inch
layer Of sand as a bed for the bricks
Set the bricks in place with not
more than a quarter of an inch
space between them, and when they
are all in place sift the sand be-
tween the cracks, sweeping it into
place as thoroughly as possible
This may not be the most perfect
brick walk ever built, but it is per-
fectly simple and possible for any
one to do at home If it seems
slightly uneven when finished try
tamping it into place with a lawn
tamper wrapped with burlap.

Naupathia
Is Relieved
By Tricks
Munching Cracker.
Tightening Belt
Often Helps
By Leffice Lee Street,

Dear Mrs. STREET.: My little s.
year-old girl gets car sick. She will
ride little distance, then get sick.
Do you think there is any cure for
this and will she grow out Of it?
Waiting your reply. MRS. A. G.
Answer-Car- sickness is a truly
miserable feeling, and I certainly
sympathize with you and your lit
tie girl, too. This sort of nausea Is
known as naupathia; it disappears
when the motion of the boat, car,
train or airplane ceases, and there
is very little that you can do to
help a child suffering with this
temporary discomfort. Most chill
dren grow out" of their tendency to
ar-sickness.
There are various small tricks
that have proved of some help to
certain youngsters, and I shall list
them for you, Mrs. A. G., hoping
that one among them may be one
that will comfort your little daugh-
ter on her next trip. Here they
are: Chewing gum, munching on a
cracker or cookie, Tightening the
belt or tying wide band "a mufaer
or scarf will suffice) snugly around
the stomach, sitting in the front
seat of the car on pillow or two
80 that the child is able to see over
the dashboard and can look straight
ahead at the road, lying down;
avoidance of looking down when in
a sitting position. an open window
in the car. On trips of any duration
think that it is wise to stop the
car every hour, at least, and let
the child get out and walk around.

YOU Too Can Be- Feminine Following These Good Suggestion
|DoNot Lose
Weight Too
Rapidly
Eat Regular Meals
But Omit 'Snacks'
Between Them
By Patricia Lindsay

By Patricia Lindsay
Miss Blanche Genet, director Of
q well-known beauty salon, tells us
that from experience she has
learned that 40 out Of so cases Of
overweight result from careless eat
ing habits and lethargy, rather than
from any glandular deficiency. Here
she presents few simple rules to
avoid overweight or to Danish 1t.
First, be satisfied to lose not more
than 2 or pounds a week-but lose
them consistently until you have
| gained your objective. Doctors in
general approve of that rate of loss.
II your doctor wants you to lose
more rapidly he will Undoubtedly
keep you under his supervision.
Eat three meals per day-regu-
larly, but don't eat between meals,
nor before retiring. Don't hope to
offset the harm Of tremendous
dinner by doing without lunch. 1t
doesn't work that way. Drink plen-
ty of water, but not with meals.
Omit pastries, candy, rich dessert
and sauces.
Fruits and vegetables are good
foods-eat lots Of them-especially
raw.
Do not sleep more than seven to
eight hours daily. Keep mildly ac-
tive for is minutes after eating.
Exercise for 80 minutes daily,
briskly. Walk two or three miles
day, briskly, and breathe deeply
Get as much air and sunshine as
possible.
Daily liquid intake should be not
less than one and a half quarts nor
more than two quarts. This in
cludes all food liquids as well as
water or beverages. When drink
ing water add a little lemon juice
If possible. 1t is important to OBJ
tain regular bowel elimination.
Chew your food thoroughly. Eat
slowly. Avoid alcoholic beverages
and condiments. Reduce your in
take of sugars, fats and carbohy-
drates to a minimum. Eat protein
foods for subsistence. Be sure that
your diet is adequate in its vitamin
content. Always have a fruit juice
breakfast.

you are depriving soldiers and others
of this needed material, but don't
pay any attention to that. After
all. you look pretty snappy in a
uniform, it's glamorous as all get
out, and what if it does strain the
family budget to buy it?
Keep right on knitting. Don't
pay any attention to those experts
who have suggested you turn your
talents to something that doesn't
use up all the yarn. Don't care
in the slightest if you make mis-
takes or turn out something that
looks like a bed sock for an ele-
phant. You're doing your patriotic
part, aren't you?
Be sure you give your own inter-
probation to the new, shorter hair
cut. Don't let the stylists fool you
into believing that it should be a
coiffure short but not "shingled,"
or that it should be dressed to suit
your features. Instead, you'd bet
ter have it done in a mannish cut
that will remind your beau on leave
of all the companions he left in
the barracks. Or perhaps you'd
better leave it long and droopy so
it will get in the way at flrst-aid
classes.
Believe us, the possibilities are
unlimited. You, too, can be fash
ion flop with no trouble at all. See
how easy it is?

where, meet nobody and do almost
nothing"
This conjures up in my mind
a SNOWFALL of loneliness. This thing
of shutting yourself off from the
outside world is cold proposition
and it does SNOWFALL on you At
first you may withdraw from the
world for one of many reasons.
Perhaps lack of money or timidity
or grief or a hurt or sensitiveness
or just plain inertia causes you to
withdraw. Whatever the reason
may have been which first induced
you to withdraw from the world
it is lost in the final result.
Lack of money is often the ap-
parent reason for loneliness. How
ever, it shouldn't be a reason at
all. Even If you can't afford to
entertain as you would like you can
have friends. The time has not
yet come when woman will charge
you for listening to the latest cute
saying of junior, or to the hoary
details of her operation.
1t costs nothing to smile at folks
to like them-to speak to them.
Go to free lectures, free art exhibits,
to the Y. w. and Y. M. c. A. and
make friends. Above all, drop the
incoming viewpoint and adopt the
outgoing viewpoint. Talk to people
at every opportunity. learn about
them and like them.

Salmon Roll for
Ienten Menus

On fish days during Lent, serve
a delectable salmon roll. To make
it, roll out a recipe of biscuit dough
to a rectangle about one-half inch
thick. Spread with a mixture of SAL
mon, sharp grated cheese, chopped
onion, milk. Season to suit the taste.
Roll up jelly-roll fashion and bake
to an oven-toast brown in a hot
oven (400 degrees F) about As min
utes. Other fish, such as tuna, may
be substituted for the salmon with
equally tasteful results. Tomato
sauce is good over this economy

Answer-No, I don't. No man has
a right to ask a girl not to go with
any other man but him until he IS
engaged to her and the wedding day
is set, and a girl is silly if she accedes
to any such outrageous demand.
For a man to monopolize girls
tima and attention and keep all
matrimonial prospects away from
her, without having the slightest
intention of marrying her himself,
is about as high-handed proceeding
as one can imagine. Why girls have
little enough common sense to fall
for it is past all understanding. yet
they do. It is a common thing for
the lordly male to say to a girl that
she must be his exclusive property,
lust as much as if she were married
to him. She mustn't look at any
other boy. She must not accept any
invitations to 60 places and do things
except from him. She must sit at
home and suck her thumbs when
he doesn't feel like stepping out.
Yet he doesn't obligate himself in
any way to keep her and he never
mentions such things As engage
ment rings and wedding bells.
This arrangement leaves the boy
free to kiss and ride away whenever
he wearies of the girl or sees some
newer and more glamorous maiden,
and it is a bargain so unjust to the
girl that you can't see how one
could be dumb enough to enter into
it. For the girl wastes her youth,
which is the time when she is most
attractive and has the best chance
of making a good marriage, upon a
man whose attentions may be with
out any intentions whatever. She
