Jane Jordan will piudy your problems and answer your questions in this col- - umn each day.
PEAR JANE JORDAN—I am a senior in high school. I am not bad looking and I dress rather well, but I guess there is some-
thing wrong. I am rather ~ popular at school with my classmates but they do not interest me. I am interested in a boy two years my senior. I have liked him for nearly three years but he is just a puzzle to me and I sometimes wonder if I am a puzzle to him. He is not good looking, is sickly most Jane Jordan of the time. He has a job and a car and "he is very conceited over noth- _ ing at all. Sometimes he acts + ms if he is just crazy about me but at other times he hardly speaks, although he is very swect when we are alone together He ‘does not go with any one else. That comes straight from some of his boy friends which are few. In all the three years that I have liked him we have seen quite a lot of each other because we live in ‘the same neighborhood, but we only have dates on the average of once a month and then it is fixed up by some one else. It seems as if he dign't care a little he wouldn't go on dates. I don't know whether he is bashful or not but he is a very quiet sort of person. I am, too. I am not very affectionate at all, and the boys who know me say I am cold. I don’t mean to be but can’t be any different. I asked this boy to go to the senior dance with me and ‘he couldn't possibly go; so I asked another boy I know and he said, “I wondered when you were going to ask me,” and he went with pleasure, Please tell me what to do. Should I still consider the boy ‘I like or try to forget him? HIGH SCHOOL.
ANSWER—I am afraid you have choseri rather unpromising material _for a boy friend. If, after three years, the young man still can not plan his own good times but only falls in amiably with those which are planned for him, we are correct in assuming that he has no very great interest in you and perhaps no marked interest in any girl. The fact that he accepts the dates when they are suggested does not indicate that he has any speglial feeling for you but simply that "he passively accepts them as pastime. . People who are conceited over nothing cover up a basic feeling of © inferiority with a pretense of " superiority which convinces no ~ one, not even themselves. Some‘times they aren't really conceited but are only so timid that they __live in a shell and their reserve "passes for haughtiness. If you, “foo, hide timidity under a cold manner, you wouldn't make a very * good partner for him. Both of you

Not so long ago, entertaining was either stripped down to picnic level or else it was swathed in all the trappings of ceremony. There was nothing between paper plates and gold embossed china. Today, there are stunning table effects to be attained for a small outlay of money. Sandwich humidors, spaghetti sets, relish “rosettes,” and bean pots in satin finished, “scratch brushed” aluminum are highlights of beauty on any dining table. ’

terchanged to make all sorts of fascinating new sets. For instance the plank-steak platter may be used for cheese and crackers. The covered dish is from Russel Wright's “stove to table” group, utensils that may be used for both cooking and serving. On this table the “bean pot” serves the hot hors d'oeuvres prepared in-it. The ice bucket, trimmed with brown reed, also may be used to serve potato chips, popcorn, or even olives and pickles at a large party. The rectangular tray is almost featherweight, and may be carried easily by the frailest hostess. The graceful lemonade pitcher is used here to serve martinis. The sandwich humidor represents a new idea in a cover. In it is concealed a small disk of absorbent material which, when moistened, keeps sandwiches or canapes from drying.

Beauty Helps Do Double Duty for "Economical User
BY ALICIA HART _ NEA Service Staff Writer “I make a good many of my beauty preparations do double duty,” writes a frugal and ingenious seeker of attractiveness.: “This time, instead of asking for advice, I want to-tell you about a few time and budget-saving tricks that you may want to pass on to other readers. : “For instance, I can not afford to buy skin tonic and cologne, so I get cologne and use it to remove cream and oils as well as to freshen up my skin after a bath. ‘I also tise cologne as a cleanser when I am traveling. I always buy a light-scented variety that my husband will put on after he shaves.” . Then this interesting reader goes on to describe a nightly routine that seems to keep her physically fit and groomed.
Takes Tub Bath
“I start with a ‘tub bath. - While the water is running, I do about 20 simple bending exercises which keep me from getting stiff in the knees or thick at the waistline. While in the tub, I wash my face with a comvlexion brush and scour my nails with a small nail brush. Afterward, [ stand under the shower for a minute or, two. “When I have dried myself with a coarse towel and used cologne, I put a light nourishing cream on my face and throat. Then I brush my hair for five ‘minutes and clean my téeth, By the time I have finished, most of the cream has been absorbed. T remove the excess, put on my hairnet and go to bed. “Once a week I oil my hair and scalp before I put on the @et. Next uay, I go to a beauty shop for a shampoo and fingerwave. I always do my own nails. Incidentally, I use a homemade egg mask about twice a month.” .

Excessive Moisture Bad
Too much moisture, on the other hand, is as harmful as too little. It becomes necessary to have drainage openings in the bottom of flower pots +o allow excess water to escape. Delicate plants like palms and ferns may be protected from becoming too dry by double potting— that is, placing one pot inside another. Fill the intervening space between the two pots with peat moss, well moistened before being packed into the space. Whenever the plant is watered the moss also should be given a little water. Painting or enameling the outer pot largely will prevent evaporation of moisture. : Aphids or plant lice and mealy-

the soil. Soil Important Factor
Soil is one of the important points to consider in growing plants. Fortunately, any good loamy soil will grow fair house plants. The main thing is to have the proper balance to- meet the needs of your various: plants. Mechanical condition of the soil also is important. Certain plants like ferns and begonias require a loamy, fibrous soil that will hald moisture. Geraniums, on the other hand, want a rather coarse-grained soil that is well drained. . A rather heavy clay loam generally is considered best for roses. : As a rule, any good garden loam to which is added a little leafmold or humus, a little rotted compost and a sprinkling of bone meal or complete fertilizer, mixed and screened, - will grow good house plants. :
