. Shyness Is Tragedy of Adolescence BY MARTHA LEE Self-consciousness surely is the greatest bane of adolescence. And when it carries over into manhood and womanhood it very often turns Into tragedy. Being shy and bashful, as a general rule, is part of being young. That awful nerve wracking habit of being fidgety also is a running mate of adolescence. The time to "cure'’ young boys and girls of these traits is when they first show signs of growing up: There is nothing so painful to be- ' hold as an oversensitive, selfconscious young boy or girl. And a trip to the guillotine would require less nerve for such youngsters as it does to go to a party or, in fact, just meet strangers. Most youngsters are affected this way. A great many of them are able to hide it even from their own parents, because they are to proud to allow their shyness to be known. Asa consequence they put the bravado on thick, and become known as forward, bold, young things. And the poor youngsters .j;re juet making a lot of noise to keep up their own courage. Go Through Misery You probably think it sounds silly, all this talk about young boys and girls being self-conscious and shy, but some children, growing into man and womanhood, go through actual misery when they are forced to go out among strangers. If you don't believe it read this. Dear Miss Lee —I am 17 year* old and almost through high school. We moved here Irom a small town about a year ago, and my senior year was the only year I spent In this high school from which I will graduate in June. I am not athletlcly inclined. X study a great deal, but I'm not a book worm. Now in this year Miss Lee. I haven't made what you would call a real friend. Somehow when I get around a bunch of strangrrs I just about choke to death. I want to be friendly but somehow I can’t. I’m not very good looking and so the girls haven’t rushed me. There was one girl In one of my clases who was nice to me. but she scared me just like the others and after awhile I guess she thought T was too much of a hayseed to bother about. Thinks He's "Stick”. Mv dad and mother "think I’m a big stick. A couple of times they have had some of their friends bring over their sons and daughters, who are just about my age. I get red tn the face, and as dumb as an ox. Mv mother and father say "Look at BUI. blushing like a silly girl.” And then I get redder and more fussed /id nrobably stumble over a piece of furniture and wish I were dead. Is there anything I can do to be like other fellows. All the other boys at school seem to make friends all right, without anv trouble. Mother and dad want me to go to college, but I'm afraid I would just about die., ' BILL. Going to college would be the best thing that ever happened to you, Bill. Go to a co-ed school, so you will become accustomed to being in the company of girls. Your parents zr n . not helping to overcome your iJaas.if ulness. Once you are in school, away from them and on your own hook to get along as best you can, loneliness and the necessity of making trends will help you overcome your tendency to be too self-con-scious. Talk of Anything In the meantime, during the last few weeks of school, why don't you make it a rule to stop and talk with some classmate every day, no matter how much you want to walk on past. Simply talk about any- ' thing. With graduation coming on there must be a thousand little things you could say. Ask the boys what they intend to do next year. If any of them are going aw*y to school, ask about that. Before you know it you will feel at home with at least a couple of them. - V ’ And you might show the little girl you mentioned that you are not a "hayseed.” Why not ask her to one of the affairs that are being given in connection with graduation. If you are too shy to dance, take her to class night. You won’t have to bother to talk to her much. She Avill be entertained without strenuous effort on your part. And you might have such a nice tipie you will want to take her out more. I know. Bill, what real agony it will be for you to get started. But once you do make a few friends you will be as popular and sought after as any one.

TWO-DISH MENUS FOR REDUCERS One Main Dish and a Dessert Will Satisfy Hunger Without Adding Weight Many people who are on a diet in order to reduce weight, complain about the hungry feeling they experience after they finish their meal. Invariably this is due to the lack of a sweet dessert in the menu. Surprising though it may be to those dieting, a sweet dish can be eaten after the main dish without fear of adding weight. It is the amount of food in general that produces fat not one item of food alone. Too often menus are lacking in foods that are really enjoyable and satisfying. But sugar when used as a flavor can make the most simple meal complete. For sugar improves the taste of most foods. Vegetables, fresh or canned, can be made much more tasty and satisfying if they are cooked with a dash of sugar to a pinch of salt. Likewise, French dressing, in which such a combination of sugar and salt is used, is a delicious addition to raw or cooked vegetable salads. And sugar also modifies the harsh acids of fruits, making them more pleasing to the taste. Most foods are more delicious with sugar. The Sugar Institute. —Advertisement.
