A new reason is advanced for
the use of e. and family
Wed like to use it on our we'd
ding invitation envelopes because
we think the recipients feel less
obliged TO send more than one
present if all are included this
way. Some one tells me. however.
that the form is not correct. Why
is this?"
First of all. one invitation for
the family living under the same
roof would be sufficient. How
ever, the main objection TO ad-
dressing an invitation with "and
family" is that particularly in in
stances where there are young
children and. let's say. grand
mother also living in the house
no clear idea is given as TO which
ones are invited. But this un-
certainty can be avoided by list
ing names of additio nal members
under the parents names on the
second envelope. addressing the
outside envelope only to the
parents. This is personal as well
as definite.
Thonk You for Tickets
Dear Mrs. Post: We've been
using the season symphony con-
cert tickets of friends on evenings
they themselves can't go. which
is quite often. What can We do
to make adequate expression of
our appreciation? This has been
a wonderful experience for both
my husband and me.
Answer: You might invite your
friends to dinner either at home
or in a restaurant or get seats

Want to gain weight? Want to
lose weight? Want to sit down to
regular meals with the rest of the
family and find exactly what you
need to perfect your figure?
You can do just that with the
Beauty Diet" which this column
is featuring this week. Below you
will find a tempting and nutri-
tiouSly-balanced plan for a days
family meals. If you want to lose
weight you just skip the foods that
are plussed (+), also those that
are marked (X). Halve the quan-
titles marked (-). If you want to
stay the way you are. skip only
the snacks. Everything on the
menu is for those adults who want
to gain and for normal adolescents.
This new beauty diet makes it
easy for mothers and daughters to
slim down as much as two pounds
per week, while physically active
members Of the family and grow
ing children can eat as satisfying
and as hearty meals as they need.
Everybody is happy - everybody
eats right-and all with no extra
trouble!

great boon to those women who
actually need them. This doctor
administers hormones when he
feels they are needed, sometimes
by injection and in other cases he
prescribes hormones by mouth, but
he does feel that too many women
insist on them when they are not
needed and therefore unwise.
-Menopause is not a disease or
an illness. It is the natural ending
of the child-bearing period. 1t
has nothing to do with health or
love or happiness. For a short
time, while this transition is tax
ing place. the body's hormones are
not in perfect balance, and some
times they are so out of balance
that hormone therapy is indicated
until the body establishes its own
balance.
It Is wise for a woman to give
herself a break during this period
by taking unusually good care Of
her health, getting a little more
sleep and rest and upping her
vitamin intake. Exercise Is often

By Josephine lowmon

A great many women dread
menopause for years before it
happens and are fearful and de-
pressed during it, when there is
no need to be.
Many women, in fact most
women in good mental and physi-
cal health, go through this period
with little or no discomfort. The
usual picture presents q few mild
but annoying symptoms which
the woman should forget. II
there are severe symptoms the
victim should go to a well-trained
doctor for hormone therapy. This
is magical in result.
Today there is theory that
most women in this age group
should take hormones, yet when
talking to a most distinguished
physician about this, he said,
Far too many women who do not
need hormones take them. It has
become fad"
He continued to say that used
wisely they are splendid and a

COOP NURSERY?

give me the name of a nursery

We have two boys, ages 51a and S
years. Both my husband and I
work. We feel the children are
getting to an age where they
should have association with other
children, especially the older boy,
before going into the first grade
of school. They are now being
cared for by a private family
who have no children. I have read
quite recently in the RCH Of just
the type nursery schools I have

Presented at School Fri
day Evening
LARGE AUDIENCE

The third annual music festival
of the music department of the
Smyrna School was presented with
finesse before an appreciative audi
ence last Friday night in the school
auditorium. The ambitious pro-
gram included varied types of
music: folk songs, modern dance
numbers; a special section devoted
to the works of Gershwin; as well
as classical selections. The first
of the Grieg Piano Con-
certo was played dynamically by
John F. Simpson, and the support
by the school band in this presenta-
tion was an achievement of note.
Not only the parents of children
who are having such musical ex-
but all of the people in
the district, may be justly proud of
the great strides made during this
year in the music department un-
der the leadership of Frank Sick
mann. The concert by two hun
dred and fifty music pupils was a
fitting climax to a year of work
which has opened vistas in the
field of music to the children of
this community.
