EAR JANE JORDAN—What can a high school girl do who goes with some of the popular girls at school but is not popular herself? She meets the boy friends of these girls but none of them seem to pay any attention to her. She sits at home every week-end while her friends are having a good time. Should she go with girls who don’t have dates, or just keep hoping she'll have them herself some day? Please dedicate your column some day to the girls who long to have boy friends like their girl friends do. JUST HOPING. ANSWER—I have devoted the column to the problem of the dateless girl over and over again. Usually these girls give me some hint of the cause of their trouble, but you have not, other than it is obvious vou understand girls better than boys. Sometimes girls are too mannish, too aggressive, too critical or caustic for a man’s taste, They make the boys feel inferior instead of superior, and are therefore avoided by the other sex. There is the tomboy variety who regards all men as competitive; she is liked well enough as a pal but nobody ever makes love to her. By far the largest group is composed of the timid girls who shrink into themselves and give out nothing the moment a male appears on the horizon. In the presence of a man they become absolutely colorless and without vitality. It is as if they became as neutral as possible in order to escape notice, like a shy wild animal which takes on the coloring of the woods for protection. Nearly all of these timid girls have one trait in common. They are more interested in themselves than in others. This intense selfinterest does not come from an overweening self-esteem but from the

calls it “Baby Epicure” and explains why she wrote it. “My aim is to make every child critical and particular about its food and capable of enjoying a sane and varied diet.” Mrs. Gildersleeve has swung her skillet through many climes—Spain, Cuba, California and the nursery of her own son under the dietetic advice of a learned and famous child specialist. She advises new food, foods from various countries where food is intelligently appreciated, for little epicures. Introduce New Food | “National dishes are the proverbial philosophy of cooking,’ she says. “I urge that new foods be | introduced to children as a matter |

of course. Do not promise a treat, |

lack of it. Their training in co-operation with others is poor. In each and every case the trouble can be traced back to the nursery, There is the only child who is accustomed to being the center of attention without having to work for it. She expects life to be given to her without effort on her part. Friends must seek her out, not vice versa.

In other cases a prettier and more vivacious sister has discouraged the girl until she regards herself as too inferior to succeed. Sometimes a mistaken mother has taught her that men have hooves and horns and teeth and are bent on the destruction of trusting little girls. The fear of men implanted by a disappointed mother or a harsh father can do a girl immeasurable harm. I have listed only a few of the reasons which make girls dateless. Can you find yourself in any of these groups? Somehow I believe you are one of the timid. Whatever else you do, don't give up your popular girl friends, Don't retreat into the group who will be old maids later on. I suspect you of doing an enormous amount of day dreaming, in which you are charming, successful and popular. Is it not true that all vour energies go into imagining situations instead of creating them? Nao reality ever can come up to a dream. No lover ever comes like Lohengrin. It is better to interest yourself in a real boy than an imaginary lover. Your interest will create interest in him. There are some books you can read which will help you to be more conscious of the other fellow and what he responds to. Outstanding

It takes only a few moments and both ankle and leg muscles are strengthened,
