and what swanky places some other
date took her to.
Nothing scares man off so quick
ly as for a girl to boast of her con-
quests, real or imaginary, for he
doesn't want his scalp to be added
to her trophies. Nor does boy
ever take out a girl a second time
who tells him how young Croesus
bought champagne and lobster new
burg for her, while she is eating his
hamburgers and drinking his beer.
Perhaps the reason the boy friend
never returns after his first date Is
because he was bored. Maybe the
girl spent the whole evening talking
about herself and her family and the
things that happened in the Office,
instead of steering the conversation
gently and imperceptIbly around to
him and his interests and giving him
an opening to tell what he said to
the boss and the boss said to him.
Or maybe the girl is chatterer
who didn't give him chance to put
in word edgewise. Or she may have
been dummy whom he had to work
like coal HEAVIER to entertain. Or
one evening with her might have
been enough if she was the kind of
girl who is never pleased with eny-
thing; who never likes the movie the
lad takes her to, or the food he buys
for her, or the place where they go
to dance; who never fits in with his
crowd and who makes him feel that
he has spent his money in vain on
her.
Or perhaps a boy never takes a
girl out but once because he can't
afford the price. She is a gold
digger who gets the last penny out
of his pocketbook. She always Ge-
mands taxis and flowers and the
most expensive places of amusement.
She can't go by a restaurant door
without saying how hungry she is, or
a shop window without seeing some
thing in it that she hints lor, and
after one experience the lad con-
cludes she is too expensive luxury
for him to afford
Or it may be that the Young man
never comes back again because he
is afraid, because she made him feel
that she would grab him if he didn't
watch out. She took a casual date
for a proposal of marriage, which
was far from his intentions. For a
girl to say at parting: When shall
I see you again?" has frightened cff
, many a good prospect.

fectly all right and that her par
ents were wrong. it would still be up
to her to try to show mother and
dad their error, and get them to
change their decision, rather than
to disobey them.
But "A Friend" hasn't done that.
She has offered us no defense OF
the girl friend whatever, except the
Unacceptable argument we've men
toned. She probably has offered
Just as little sound defense to her
parents; and we suspect that her
reason for failing to do so is that
the charges about her girl friend
are justified.
Maybe they're not; but in that
case, the girl must prove it to her
parents. AS it is now, she hasn't
leg to stand on.
And there's a hint for all of you.
Most parents will concede a point if
you can tactfully present sound
reasons for their doing so. But
you've got to have facts and straight

If You Travel
South This
Winter
Take Precautions
To Keep Beauty
Quite Intact
By Patricia Lindsay

There are beauties who live South
and others who journey South for
a few warm sun baths. These girls
and women have a nice choice of
cosmetic aids to keep their lowell
ness intact.
For instance, little kit for trOpi-
cal resorts holds sunburn cream,
special dry-skin lotion. a rich cold
cream and a foundation cream. All
nestle compactly in blue denim
bag with white trimming and a
drawstring-nice TO tote along to the
beach or carry in ones car.
And that non-oily night cream I
mentioned some weeks back is an
other splendid aid for Southern
beauty. 1t disappears at once when
applied to the skin, yet it lubricates
parched or sunburned skin.
To prevent squint lines there is
a special eve cream which should
be applied before the dip into the
ocean or sun bath and afterward
when you are home resting. This
cream contains no perfume and Is
finely blended to soothe the area
around the eyes. OF course, stay
at-homes can use this, too!
Seasoned sun bathers realize that
a pomade or ointment is essential
to protect the scalp and hair from
being scorched. Tuck in your beach
bag. or apply before you leave the
l,o toh In nj Mt
Put it on the scalp sparingly. for
one does not desire greasy looking
hair, and then brush the hair from
the scalp out to the very ends, thus
distributing the protective cream.
Then if you go about without hat
or lie long in the sun with only a
cloth head covering, your hair will
not fade and dry. Such an oint-
ment serves nicely as hair dressing
for dry hair, making it more ruly
and adding sheen. The trick, re-
member, is to apply just enough
of it.
Sun and air and change of climate
tend to dry ones body skin. After
dip into the sea and a showering
with fresh water, suggest that you
use a body lotion containing fine
oils beautifully blended and scented
This lotion not only perfumes the
skin but keeps it velvety smooth
and hastens a rich. lovely tan color
to come. You know even slightly
burned skin turns red, and some
times peels. But if you oil slightly
burned skin the moment you shower
after the sun bath, the chances are
you will prevent it from getting red
and peeling-the lubricant does it,
Take these little precautions, If
you find yourself in the South.

Forbidden Friendship
Argument With Parents in Girls
Favor Must Be Based on Facts
Br Kay CaldweH and Alden Harrison

y ~
Since this is the bargain sale
season, we're going to give you
double value today-some comment
on a problem which many young
people face and, in addition, little
lesson in winning arguments with
your parents.
The problem is stated in letter
signed "A Friend" which reads:
Il am ID years old and have girl
friend the same age. I am very fond
Of her. but my parents don't like
her. They say she is fresh, and
always chasing after boys. Mother
lets me spend the afternoon with her
occasionally, but she recently re-
fused to let me spend the night with
her, and Dad said I positively am
not to go around with her.
Il think this is very narrow
minded viewpoint. because if she was
as bad as they think. wouldn't have
taken her for my best girl friend.
! would like to know whether l
should do as my father says, and
drop her, or 60 on as I have been
doing
Now for the lesson in argument.
The writer of this letter contends
that she should be allowed to keep
this girl for a friend because shes
not as bad as her parents think y
And how do we know that she's not
AS bad as her parents think? Because
the writer wouldn't have taken her
for her girl friend if she were!
To understand how unsound such
an argument is. let's look at an exact
parallel. Imagine couple OF high
schoolers engaging in the following
converse ton:
Il am going to shoot the principal
because he is japanese spy"
How do you know he is a Jap
anese Spy?"
-zs"Because wouldn't be planning to
shoot him if he weren't
Okay, we think that shows you
that this girls argument is no argu-
ment at all. Of course. what she
meant to imply was that she was a
good Judge of character ana there-
fore she could be trusted to choose
her own friends wisely. But she
can't argue that way until she's
proved her good judgment-which
she hasn't done.
Now let's look at the problem it
self. Parents often don't like some
friend of a son or daughter. Some
times these dislikes seem unjustif1ed
and unreasonable, but usually they
have a sound and genuine basis.
In this particular case, our read
er's parents make definite charges
to explain their attitude toward her
girl friend: She is fresh and she is
always chasing after boys. II they
are right, their attitude is certainly
understandable And the writer OF
this letter produces no evidence to
show that they aren't right.
Therefore, we can do nothing but
recommend that she pay strict heed
to her parents orders to stop seeing
the girl. Outright disobedience is a
serious thing. Even If "A Friend
had proved that the girl was per-

Problem
Arises
Incorrect to Send
Return Cards
For Wedding
By Emily Post

A return card inclosed with an
invitation usually indicates pub
lie function-certainly not a we'd
ding. And yet. much upset mother
of the bride asks:
May we inclose cards all ad-
dressed and stamped and ready to
have the yes or no checked and
the card returned to us? The need
less expense we ran into when our
older daughter was married, be-
cause we prepared for twice too
many people, has made me chary
of putting any reliance upon the
accuracy of r. S. v. P. Not even
all of those who accepted came.
On the other hand, many who
never answered turned up. But
this time we would like to be as
sure as possible"
Unfortunately, the only answers
you can be sure of are the ones
who send regrets. People who would
like to come, but are not sure that
they can, are inclined to send ac-
ceptances. At guess l would say
that if you prepare for about half
of those from whom you don't hear
and for about three quarters OF
those who accept, this will be rea-
sonably accurate. In any case, pro-
vision for 10 per cent Of those in
vited would be ample-counting in
vitations sent to general list. II in
vitation are sent only to relatives
and most intimate friends, you
would prepare for all.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it in bad taste
to burn candles on lunch table?
NV dining room is dreary and never
gets the midday sun. However, it is
not really dark enough to need arti-
fetal light to see by. That's the
situation and you've no doubt gath
cred that I would like to use the
candles.
Answer-The best excuse for cam
dies at midday is that the room is
dark. In other words. while they
do not belong on a midday table,
if they are needed it is only sensible
to put them on and light them. If
your room is neither dark nor yet
light enough to be cheerful, think
you might use candles.
Dear Mrs. Post: Is it ever i'm
proper for a girl who is marrying
for the first time to have a big
wedding and bridesmaids and we'd
ding f1nery when 1t is the bride
groom's second venture? 4
Answer-Ordinarily it is quite
proper that the bride have as big
a wedding as she pleases. How
ever, if he is marrying only short
time after the death of his first wife,
a conspicuously large and elaborate
wedding might be criticized. But
even so. not seriously. On the other
hand, if he is divorce and there
was a scandal in connection with
the divorce, it would be wiser to
attract as little attention as pos
sible to this marriage.
Dear Mrs. Post: Does the rule Of
etiquette which requires that the
motion of the spoon IN eating soup
be away from one instead of toward
one apply to other liquids as well as
soup?
Answer-Yes-and also to taste
soup in cups-although it does apply
particularly to thin soups served in
plates. Many of those who have
,,ica tohle manners carefully din
their spoons away when slipping
beverages. On the other hand, many
whose table manners are quite fault
less and who always dip their table

| Why
|Grow Old?
By Josephine LoWman

Here are few aids for the woman
who is on reducing diet. First. re-
member that you do not need food
just because you are hungry. II
you are overweight you have lots
of energy stored up in layers of fat.
If, in the past. you have eaten
more than you needed and have con-
Sequently become overweight, your
stomach actually has enlarged and
your eating desires will linger with
you for a short time until the sto-
mach has returned to normal.
Eating is habit and you will not
feel harassed because of short ra-
tions for more than week or maybe
10 days. The following are sugges-
tions for making the first stages OF
reduction easier. Some of them are
mine and others are new Sugges-
tions from a widely-known physi-
clan.
l. Once you begin, never give in.
even a little bit. If you weather the
first 10 days, your troubles are over
and the only way to succeed Is to
wipe from your mind all doubt as to
whether you are going to do it.
2. If you crave sweets. eat fresh
fruits, some of the sweeter variety,
or take one or two small pieces Of
hard candy occasionally as dessert.
g. Don't cut out meals but portion
your calories over the three meals
in any way which best serves your
taste. Also plan between-meal
snacks of skinned milk, fruit juice
or fruit. But be sure to count them
in on your general caloric total for
the day.
4. Munich celery between meals.
The calories are negligible, it is good
for you, and is filling,
5. Let a peppermint lozenge. dis
solve slowly in the mouth. The pro-
nounced taste of the lozenges will
saturate the taste buds and discour-
age the hunger sensations.
6. Don't drink water at meals
especially ice water. This washes on
the taste buds and the coldness
stimulates the membranes Of the
mouth and stomach.
7. Don't discuss dieting with
friends. Their "Oh, forget it this
one time" increases temptation.
8. Remember that the extras
count up readily. One chocolate
cream or vanilla soda will undo
what you have been struggling to
accomplish
8. Remember how many calories
there are in cocktails and high
bolls. beer and wine. One ounce OF
whisky contains 100 calories: one
half bottle of beer. IS calories; two
ounces of sherry about 120 calories.

she is not accustomed to such at

for men require other men to put

give her rush. and the more she
Is sought after, the more they want
her. A girl should never jump at
an invitation like hungry dog at

dates AS they come, and while max
ing a boy feel that she is having
the time of her life with him, she
isn't down on her knees in gratitude
for his deigning to notice her.
The other mistake that girl

NEW YORK Beautiful new
~ movable walls are the latest,
most startling news to win the
plaudits of interior decorators and
architects here New rooms can
now be made-and unmade-in
matter of a few hours. And you
can take your walls right along
with the furniture when you
move from one house to another.
A new system of erecting glass
block interior walls and partitions
is the cause of the excitement. In
addition to being quick to erect,
or dismantle, the new walls have
the additional advantages of being
light-transmitting, easy to clean,
comparatively inexpensive and
handsome, indeed, to behold.
Done With Glass
It's not done with mirrors. It's
done with glass blocks. Regular
Insulux blocks-eight or twelve
inches square-are held in place
by separating strips of wood that
can be painted or stained to match
the other woodwork in the home.
Though the movable walls are
marvellous to view - and as
sturdy-looking as the Great Wall
of China-they are extremely
easy to install. Any workman-in
fact, almost any handyman-can
put them up by studying the in
struction sheets provided with the
strips and wedges. At this par
ticular time the glass block walls
will have a special value in that
no strategic materials are involv-
ed in their construction.
Easy to Take Down
And it's easy come, easy 60
with the new walls if you're NOV
ing from one place to another,
They can be taken down just as
quickly as they were put up and
