PAGE 10 Young Girls Need Not Be Love Rivals

Most Men Prefer Mates Of About Their Own Age, Jane Says.

Jane Jordan will help you with your problems by her answers in this column,

DEAR JANE JORDAN—I think the advice of the stern old bachelor who advised the 21-year-old boy to marry a 15-year-old girl is unsound. The young girls of today are wrecking the lives of our young men. I am 25 years old, a young lady, and not an old maid as the stern bachelor thinks. I am clean and decent and nice looking and can work at anything. I stay at home and mind my own business but can't find any boy who wishes to go with a nice girl. And why? Just accause there are a bunch of silly baby girls aged from 14 to 18 who run the streets dressed up and painted like dolls. They flip and flirt and get the boys but what do the boys get when they marry them? Nothing except their beauty. The majority can’t cook, sew or keep house and they soon tire of the every day life of working. They are nothing but babies. It is true we older girls want homes but we are more grown up and realize the responsibilities of a home and family. We prefer clean, decent men; men who have sense enough not te court 15-year-old girls. I don’t want a man older than myself, but one near my own age. When a girl is 25 she has just begun to realize what true love is. I would advise the 21-year-old boy not to marry the 15-year-old girl, but to take a girl near his own age who would make a far better wife. Girls from 14 to 18 have to be rocked in the cradle or they will run back to mother. Let the old bachelor rock his 15-year-old babies but I am glad I'm grown up. : INDEPENDENT 25. . ANSWER-If you are a girl of 25 1 do not blame you for being wroth with the stern old bachelor who, at 35, prefers girls who are 15. and calls girls of 21 “old girls.” I expected more protest from young women than I received. But in your wrath there is no sense in swinging too far the other way. Sometimes I am astonished at the way people form. their opinions. Take yourself for example. How did you reach the conclusion that girls of 25 or so can’t get a beau because girls from 14 to 16 run the streets painted like dolls to flirt successfully with boys and men and distract their attention from older ‘girls? You may have seen one or two incidents of this sort, but you can’t draw a wholesale amount of con- - clusion from a retail amount of fact. How does your statement sound to me, whose mail is filled with more letters than I possibly can ‘answer from girls in their ‘teens who complain that they are held .down by their parents who won't let them have dates? Many of them are attracted to boys older than they are but are bitterly disappointed because they are ignored. Only recently a letter was published from a girl of 18 who for years believed herself in love with a man of 35. He was unconscious of her attachment and regarded. her as a child. I do not believe that the average man from 21 on pays much attention to 15-year-old girls. Vou are right when you say that the majority of very young girls aren’t equipped to take care of a home or interested for long in its routine. But you are wrong when you say that they are responsible for your own failure to find a suitable partner. The reason for your staying at home lies somewhere within yourself and not in ether girls of any age. Perhaps you do not circulate enough to meet many people. Perhaps you are shy and don’t know how to sell yourself. Or perhaps "ou rediy do not like men at heart, as your scorn of their interest in younger girls indicates: Lots of girls who believe they want dates and complain because they do not have them aren't really attracted by men. Unconscioysly they search for a feminine nature in masculine form. So called “he-men” are more or less repellant to them. JANE JORDAN.

Cabinets for Shoes Proving Practical

House your shoes in built-in shoe cabinets instead of shoe bags or poxes. These cabinets are not only decorative, but practical as well, because they can be used in place of

a bedside table. They are low and square, the shelves slant so the heels of the choes can be hooked over the edge, and there is room for 12 pairs of choes. The top of the cabinet can ve used for bed lamp, telephone, ash yray and such.

Film Star Uses 3-Step Regimen In Care of Skin

BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Correspondent “Just as no exercise, repeated only once or twice, will improve the line of your hips and no hair brushing routine, done only once, will make your hair healthy and shiny, so no one day’s cleansing, creaming and toning of the skin will really improve its texture,” remarks Gertrude Niesen, lovely young newcomer to the screen. The attractive singer believes, and rightly, that the complexion should be cared for regularly. She knows the importance of learning to use a few good preparations correctly, then using them that way each and every day. For instance, Miss Niesen prescribes a prevacation 14-day schedule to get skin in condition to take a coat of suntan withdbut becoming burned or rough. Uses Liquid Cleanser Each night the actress removes makeup and the day’s accumulation of dust and dirt with a slightly oily liquid cleanser. Then she pats on a tcning lotion which stimulates = circulation. Her favorite is made from the juice and fiber of a papaya melon. Miss Niesen keeps the lotion in the ice box, applies it with cotton pledgets which have been dipped in cold water, then squeezed as dry as possible. The business of using moist cotton pads instead of dry cnes avoids waste of the tonic. Night cream follows tonic and very often, the actress uses an vil, made from avocado pears, instead

Parent Told Tact Is Best Way to Rule

Pact Between Mothers Usually Recognized By Children.

By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

“If only I had the children to myself,” says Mrs. A, “I could get along beautifully. But what can one do with the whole neighborhood running in and out all the day? That's why I dread vacation.” Well—just what are you going to do, Mrs. A? Spend your summer resenting the greedy Jones children or the untidy Smiths? Or do you think you would be happier if you worked out a little plan—and faced a situation that can’t very well bs helped? First of all, however, we'd better get one little item on the right side

gf the ledger. In those quiet peace-

ful spells when you are writing home to mother, or putting buttons on. Jim’s shirts, are you very sure that your Paul and Annie are not over at Mrs. B.’s house fooling with her radio when she is trying to telephone, or pitching a ball against the kitchen wall while she’s trying to count sugar cups to her preserves? They might be, you know, polite and considerate as they are. Because children just don’t think. That out of the way, let us go on.

Don’t Be Cranky

Mothers have no real authority over other children, either in the house or in the yard. Yet they need some. They don't know your rules and you can’t be too cranky. Besides your own children will only be unpopular and unhappy if they have to keep reminding their playfellows, “Oh, you can’t do this,” or “My mother doesn’t allow that.” The best way, then, is to bring the matter up cordially with the mothers themselves and speak right out in meeting. “Mrs. B,” you might say, after admiring her pinks and commenting on the baby's curls, “I want you to feel free to send Annie or Poddy home whenever you feel like it, and speak to them if they bother you in any way whatsoever. I'm going: to explain to them that I've arranged it with you.”

Children Will Understand ‘And as sure as you stand there

| Mrs. B, relieved at discovering an

answer to her own problem will reciprocate and suggest that you do the same. The children soon get to know that the pact is signed by their own mothers, so théy should not resent what otherwise would sound like unofficial orders. Of course, your home is your own castle, and you need not endure the impossible child, ever, whether or not you have come to terms with his parents. But the more friendly the relations, the better all around. Polish up your tact as far as you are able, and put it to work. Try to like other children. If they like you, they'll eat out of your hand and take a bright order like, “I'm going to be very busy, now, everybody. So shoofly for this time. Jeanne, when you come back, don’t forget to show me your new dollie.” They'll skeedaddle when

you say so, and be quiet when you ask them to—for a minute. . : Neighborhood relationships are important in vacation. You have to give and you have to take. Our | children want us to like their

Outdoor Furniture Transforms Yard

For very little money it is possible to get enough outdoor furniture to transform the backyard into a pleasant place to spend summer afternoons and evenings. : . Deck chairs with foot rests and shade canopies, an iron table or two with chairs to match, pillows with waterproof covers and an inexpensive double chaise longue or a swing are adequate.

Solution to Previous Problem By WM. E. M’KENNEY

American Bridge League Secretary

OUTH, the declarer on today's hand, faces two problems, the correct solution of both being essential to fulfillment of his contract. Every bridge player has learned, time and time again, the importance of planning the play as soon as the opening lead is made and declarer can, by studying the dummy’s holding in conjunction with his own, determine where he can look for the tricks needed to fulfill his contract. When the contract is a high one, the opponents quite often are able to win their “book” before giving up the lead. Hence a careful and logical plan is needed, so that, even if the contract is not fulfilled, the declarer can feel that he did his best. The king and ace of hearts held the first two tricks. - A heart was continued, and declarer ruffed. A trump was led to dummy, and won with the ace, disclosing the fact that West held four. The club finesse was taken, and the ace of clubs cashed. Then a low club was led to dummy and West discarded the spade eight.

Mind Your Manners

Test your knowledge of correct social usage by answering the following - questions, then checking against the authoritative answers below: 1. Is “Yours very truly” a suitable close for a friendly letter? 2. Should you use “Miss” on an envelope addressed to a small girl? 3. Should one who is to be a house guest let his hostess know in advance the exact time of his arrival? 4. When writing or wiring for hotel reservations, should one give a return address? 5. Whose place is it to suggest going to bed, the hostess’ or the house guest?

For Obesity

Prevention of Excess Weight Kasier Than Cure, Claim.

By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN

Editor American Medical Association Journal. :

When a doctor sees a patient who is definitely overweight, he makes the necessary studies of the basal metabolism and of the diet of the person concerned, to deter= mine the part played by all of the various factors involved. It then becomes possible to pre= scribe a routine of life which will prevent further increase in weight and which will bring about a grad= ual reduction. It is much easier to prevent obesity than to cure it. If people will weigh themselves regularly and diet accordingly, they will find that it is possible to keep--the weight from increasing. Often special measures may be undertaken to bring about the necessary reduction.

Age Is Important In deciding whether a patient is to reduce his weight and the rate at which he is to reduce, many factors must be considered. The age is important because it is exe ceedingly difficult to change the habits of those who are well along

in years. The amount of overe weight and disturbances of impore tant organs are significant. Some persons may reduce their weight merely by not using sugars in the form of candies and desserts and not eating potatoes, butter, cream, bread and starchy foods to excess. With those who definitely

are obese and still sufficiently healthful, rigid dieting may be practiced, remembering always,

however, that it is seldom advisable to lose more than two pounds a week or five pounds a month. If the amount of weight to be lost is only from 10 to 20 pounds, 8 to 10, weeks may be allowed for the purpose. brought about gradually, it becomes possible to establish habits which will then persist throughout life. Loss of weight early in the plan of reduction may be more rapid than later because at first a great deal of water may be lost.

Protein Is Needed

In planning a scientific diet for weight reduction, make certain that the patient receives enough protein food, since the body depends on protein for repair of tissues. An ine

sufficient amount of protein in the diet will lead to the destruction of body protein. Restriction in ¥he diet should concern chiefly fats, sugars and starches. In such a diet the fruits and the vegetables with less than 10 per cent of carbohydrates constitute fhe mainstays. In reducing the total amount of calories taken in, some may be reduced one-fifth at first and then gradually increased or decreased as regular weighing of the patient indicates. If a person has been consuming 2000 calories per day, he may reduce if, to 1500. If he has been
