EAR JANE JORDAN—I am 16 years old; do not smoke or drink; I dress smartly and am fairly nice looking. I play the/plano and organ, sing as well as the average singer, and I dance as well as any girl I know. I am very popular with the girls, but the boys and I get along only as “pals.” When I meet a nice boy whom I could like, I find it’s just no ge on his part. 3 I met a lovely hoy a few months ago and I liked him more than any boy I had ever known. -In fact, I still like him. We had a fair amount of dates together and he nearly always drove me home after

school.

Then I missed seeing him,

and I find it has been almost two

months since I heard from him. What do you suppose is the matter

.with me?

Why can’t I be as popular as my girl friends? Will I

always be a wall flower? Please help me solve my problem.

PUZZLED PATSY.

ANSWER—I don’t know why you do not attract) boys. My knowledge of you is too slight. After I read your letter several times I just wondered if you are actually as interested in beys as you think you are. Of course I know you would like to have boy friends because the other girls do. You need them to keep up your prestige with the other girls

and you need them as escorts so you can go to parties.

I am not re-

ferring to the obvious convenience of having boy friends to admire you

and take you places. in and curiosity about boys.

I am speaking of honest, spontaneous interest

If you are popular with girls, it means that you're interested in

their pursuits, activities, thoughts and reactions.

It means you feel

at ease in their company; that you like to go where they go, laugh when they laugh; play when they play, and even, perhaps, cry when they cry for sympathy and understanding of their feelings. But a boy! Isn't he like a strange creature from Mars whom you do not understand at all? There he is, a sort of necessary evil, and he must be entertained and attracted, but how on earth is it done? You feel awkward and ill at ease, shy and not really interested in him although you'd be glad enough if he took an interest in you. If only he was another girl, how easy it would be to laugh and talk and ex-

change views with him!

Take this boy you liked. At least you liked him better than any

boy you had known. Then you missed seeing’ him and you find it has |

been almost two months since you heard from him. You write as if you suddenly noticed that a kitten had wandered away from the house and you just missed it. Most girls would have been eating their hearts

out in two weeks.

I believe you can cultivate more actual interest in boys.

If you

are genuinely interested in a boy it is easy to get him to talk about himself. In fact it is almost impossible to get rid of him if you show warmth, sympathy and comprehension of his problems. He is just another human being, like yourself, who wants to be appreciated,

admired, understood and wanted.

Underneath his swagger, bluster,

pawing, or shy reserve, is a person pining to be reassured about his personal worth, a person yearning for a girl who encouragé§ him to

expect great things of himself.

Some girls instinctively sense these things about the boys they . know. Their curiosity about the other sex leads them to find out ‘more and more. Soon they have a background of knowledge to show them what is pretty sure to please a youth, and they can make friends with an average boy. But don't forget that they first felt a burning

interest to know.

Bowling Interesting Method Of Reducing, Women Learn

“Curiouser and curiouser,” cried Alice in Wonderland, when ishe felt herself growing rapidly taller. “Curiouser and curiouser,” echo women bowlers who can see their waistlines growing thinner from rolling the balls down the alleys. All that Alice’ had to do to grow taller was to eat a currant cake. But reducing for bowlers means doing without the cake and taking the tenpin game seriously. You can reduce your waist measure several inches and take off 10 or 12 pounds, in six weeks time, if you go in for bowling two or three times a week, according to Mrs. Lilyan Lee, organizer of local country club bowling leagues. She has watched the over-sized girls grow sylph-like, and knows it will work. “But, of course,” she added, “They . didn’t do it on a diet of fudge sundaes and cream puffs.””

400 Women Bowlers

Whether it's to keep their figures trim or for the thrill of the game more than 400 local women belong to the Indianapolis Women’s Bowling Association. And this is spinach-eating week for the members who are competing

in the Association’s annual tourna- |

ment, now in session at the Pennsylvania Alleys. It opened Saturday night and will continue through this weéi-end. “We dent go into ‘strict training,” said “Mrs. Evelyn Wiesman, a contestant who won the international meet in 1926. “But caviar and champagne will have no place in this week’s program, and. we try to store up energy by getting extra rest.” Practiced on Linoleum Weis-

Bagk in the days when Mrs. man first took up bowling she ‘practiced her footwork by taking sliding steps, in bowling form, on her kitchen linoleum. Wielding a rolling pin, too, is a practical way a housewife may develop her arm muscles to keep in form for the game, she suggests. Miss Lucy Court, winner of the singles in last year’s city tournament, and team member in this week’s event, finds bowling tiptop as a tonic for frazzled nerves. “Follow a hectic day at the office with a good game in the alleys and you'll be as relaxed as a Kitten,” she prescribes.

Mrs. Anetta Crane, assogiation

secretary, is of the opinion that many wives took up the sport to keep from being lonesome. Now, many of them can outscore their husbands when they face the maples. ; Tiny May Be Mighty “Bowling is a game in which the tiniest may be the mightiest,” says Mrs. Eva Dawson. She is mighty enough to have won the singles championship in the international tournament in 1932—and has hopes of winning a medal this week. There's an art to “putting it in the pocket,” according to this contestant, and co-ordination and timing play an important part. “It’s fun and keeps the weight down, too,” she says. But women bowlers have ‘done more than reduce their waistlines. When they joined the ranks the drab old alleys started putting on frills and “curiouser and curiouser” —the men like it! (M. B. W.)

200 Members of Hospital Guilds Make Bandages

Such an enthusigstic response resulted from the White Cross Center’s appeal for aid in making bandages and surgical dressings that a scheduled 10-day ® project will be completed in two days.

Two hundred members of the

friends answered Mrs. Isaac Born's appeal yesterday.! Thousands of floor and surgical -dressings were prepared. Only two guilds are to sew today, the Irvington and Mary

Solution to Previous Probiem

By WM. E. McKENNEY American Bridge Weague Secretary OME time, perhaps, a bridge player with a genius for coining pet phrases will rename the standard plays at the bridge table. Possibly we shall®have a distinctive bridge vocabalary, instead of borrowing our terms from the baseball field or elsewhere. However, until that happy day arrives, those of us who write about bridge must rely on the commonly accepted terms. Today’s hand deals with a situation ‘in which the, declarer, finding an unfavorable trump break, was forced to relyson an end play, or forced lead, to make his contract of six hearts. An end play mn bridge is one by which ga defending player is forced to take a trick and return a card which will give declarer his contract. - West did not open the bidding, because of hig vulnerability. Later, when he saw the South hand as dummy, ke was glad that

he had not done +50: His double of three diamonds was made as a |

lead di ing bid. { In“ooking at today’s hand, it is, of course, apparent that six spades could be made without difficulty, due to the distribution, but South had no reason for preferring that suit over hearts. : \ When East failed to open dia-

monds, but chose instead .what appeared to be a fourth best lead, it seemed likely that he held no card in his partner's suit. The three of clubs was led." The seyen was played from dummy, West played the eight, and North won with the ueen. North laid down two .rounds of trump, learning the bad . news. Two rounds of spades were played and now declarer had a perfect count on the East hand. . Two more rounds of spades were led. then three rounds of clubs, finessing the 10 in the dummy. On the ace of clubs, declarer discarded his good spade. : A diamond was led and ruffed by declarer. This was overruffed by East, who now was compelled to lead into declarer’s tenace holding in trump. Thus the contract was

made. (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.)

Fairy Tales Can Become ~~ Obsessions

Nonfiction Advised As Substitute for Magic Books.

(This is the last of three articles on books for children.)

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

“No, Mary, you can’t fiave another

fairy tale book today. You have had

so fast?” Thus spake the children’s librarian. “I take them over to Daddy’s store, and it’s only around the corner.” ~ This made the lady think, and by inquiry she discovered that other youngsters were doing the same thing, reading in adjacent cubbyholes and popping back for more.

) | Comparing notes with sister libra-

rians, the truth came out. And some very interesting facts were disclosed. The “magic” books were wearing. out four times as quickly as the rest. And another thing came to light. Children were asking for books on magic about automobiles, and radios and steam rollers. This was something. Surrealism with a vengeance.

Escape Into Wonderland

It shows something. That. certain youngsters want everything they see or think, touched with a wand. In short, the fairy tale, excellent as it is for developing imagination and lifting us away from meals, and beds, and the wash-days of daily life, can become an obsession, an orgy of

content. I have long cheered the fairy tale. I think it is good for children of any age from 2 to 80. There is something in each of us that craves pumpkins and princesses, frogs that talk and wizards that vanish. But it is a real facer, when children lose interest in stories that can be true, for stories that can’t. I believe the antidote for this dream-reading habit to be substitution. I also think that informative and factual books will do

the job, rather than all-fiction, (Copyright, 1937, NEA Service, Inc.)

By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX NEA Service Staif Writer Winter is open season for big parties. Churches and clubs: like to entertain for the mere pleasure of the social life, or for a little profit. Women who can manage the feeding of their own families with out a worry, often go into a state of panic when they are appointed to committees in charge of the clulb suppers. Florence LaGanke Harris, Die rector of Women's Activities, Building Arts Exhibits in Cleveland, is an old hand at such mass - gaiety. “Think of quantity in terms of You know pretty well how much it takes to satisfy each member of your family,” “Well, multiply that amount by the number of guests to be fed at your church supper, and you will arrive at the correct amount. To cook your own favorite recipes for crowds, it © is better for the amateur to multiply the home recipe that serves six, by four. Make these batches of four times the domestic amount until you have enough to feed the crowd; that is wiser than trying to multiply 2 home recipe by too great a numer. : : Don’t Fear Simplicity “And another thing.” she adds, “don’t be afraid to serve a simple meal to a crowd. It doesn’t have to be elaborate simply because it is eaten by many people. But it must be intelligently planned and well= cooked.” If your party is to number 50, and you wonder how much food you will have to prepare, these suggestions from “Every Woman's Complete Guide to Homemaking” should save ‘vou a few dollars and a few headaches. You'll need 12 quarts soup, 20 pounds roast fresh ham, 6 pounds meat for croquettes, 10 pounds ground beef for meat loaf, 4 quarts

beans. For macaroni and cheese, 3 pounds cheese, 4 quarts cream sauce,” 12 pounds macaroni or cups broken macaroni. 5 For oyster stew, 6 quarts oysters and 2 gallons milk. One peck potatoes for mashing. If you select chicken salad fo your 50 guests, use 20 pounds fowl combined with celery, Ten quarts chicken salad serves 50 people. You'll need 8 quarts ice cream, @ to 8 10-inch pies, 4 large cakes. For the coffee, use 12 pounds. Hot chocolate requires 2 gallons made with 1 pound chocolate. If your supper for the crowd is merely for pleasure, . then select foods that are unusually choice, but if the party is given to raise money, then study your markets for low cost foods that can be turned into high tasting dishes, And keep calm,
