Wife, 31, Insulted by View Of Bachelor That Young Girls Make Best Mates
Mary Pickford and Duchess of Windsor Cited as
Examples of Women Who Found Little Competition by More Youthful Members of Sex.
Stern Old Bachelor of 35 prefers 15-year-old girls. Independent 25 objects. Here is another letter challenging Stern Old Bachelor.
"
EAR JANE JORDAN-I read Stern Old Bachelor’s letter in The Times. It was quite an insult to the adult female. I am married, have a child and admit I'm 31, which to the gentlemun of 85 is quite ancient. Contrary to his opinion I am much more attractive physically and mentally
than at the age of 15 and my husband cares more for me than he did 10 years ago when 1 was an old dame of 21. I might add that the ex-king of England found a 40-year-old woman attractive enough to cause him to desert a throne, and Buddy Rogers—who must have had adulation from all the girls from 15 up-—chose a mature
woman of 44.
INDIGNANT.
ANSWER--Today we have a second letter from Stern Old Bachelor:

Dear Jane Jordan—I am sorry I offended Independent 25. Indeed

You said you did not believe You

for the older girls.
I don't object to their age so much as their ways.

pleasant, honest, jolly, sympathetic, comely and clean. 25 had better hide the fact that she wants a home.

STERN OLD BACHELOR.
ANSWER—May I correct you on one point? T said I didn’t believe the average bay of 21 paid much attention to 15-year-old girls but 1
said nothing about the man of 60.
At 60 a man may be so concerned
about his own age that he seeks youth again in young girls, but even so there are far more settled married men of 60 than young girl chasers. The reason so much ridicule is attached to an elderly chaser of romance is that he represents a departure from custom. I don’t know why you prefer young girls to a woman your own age
who is far better equipped to be
companionable. A safe guess is
that you find fault with older women because you are afraid of them. At 35 you are certain of knowing more than a 15 to 21-year-old girl. You must have forgotten more about the love game than she knows. Perhaps a mature woman makes you feel uneasy, inadequate.
I note you draw back from the
woman wants a home as well as a
practical aspect of marriage. If a husband you are offended at her
commercial outlook, vet if a marriage doesn't bring certain definite benefits to both parties it is doomed to failure. Nearly everyone has a dream of being blindly loved for himself alone as his mother loved him in childhood, but it just isn't in harmony with reality.
A girl who wants a home isn’t necessarily a gold digger.
She only
is looking for what she has a right to expect. A man who is unable to provide a home still wants to be loved without realizing he hasn't achieved the stability, adequacy and industry of which the home is a
symbol.
Unless she is completely childish a mature woman expects her
partner to have achieved something besides a lovable personality which
can neither be eaten nor worn. If
he hasn't she knows that he isn't
fitted to deal with rough reality and will not make a responsible team
mate in marriage.
JANE JORDAN.
Care Outlined For Shoulders
Are your shoulders skinned? Do rub your lubricating cream over shoulders and arms after your bath. Scrub darkened, dingy skin often with a hand brush. Use a | bleach cream on overtanned skin. Apply liquid powder to your shoulders and arms for evening occa- | sons Avoid overexposure to sun, and the constant peeling that makes skin leathery, spotty or rough. Avoid an awkward line of suntan or dinginess between neck and shoulders, or shoulders and arms. Arc your shoulders hunched or narrow? Do hold your shoulders straight, back a little, chest up. Take brecthing exercises, night and morning, at an open window. Adopt slightly stiff or paddled shoulder seams. Adopt widened “wings” or cap sleeves on evening or sports dresses.

PASSES PARTNER'S DOUBLE

Solution to Previous Problem By W. E. M'KENNEY American Bridge League Secretary
RIDGE players more and more are coming to appreciate the value of an informatory double as a means of reopening the bidding, after an opening bid has been overcalled by an opponent, and partner in his turn has passed. In such a case it does not necessarily follow that partner has a bust hand. He may be short the strength for a free bid, or may be anxious to play against opponent's suggested contract. In either case a double by the opening bidder will disclose the true situation. West, with a good five card suit and an outside king-queen, could not be blamed for his overcall Lighter ones are made without penalty every day. Over his bid, North himself was not strong enough to double, nor could he make another bid, and East, of course, had nothing to say. South had a choice. He might bid a spade, or double and see what his partner had to offer. He wisely

chose the latter course, and North, lwith his four hearts, an ace and a queen outside, and shortage in his partner's suit, left the double in for penalties. The opening diamond lead was won by South with the queen, who now returned his club. This the declarer wisely read as a double ton, and when North permitted the king to hold the trick, he led two rounds of trumps. In this way he was able to make five tricks, going down 500 points. Had he not taken two rounds of trumps when he obtained the lead, he would have won only four tricks, as South would have ruffed a club, While North and South could probably have a game in no trump, the penalty was at least as great, and the risk much less.

Urges Tryouts Of Beauty Aids To See Benefit
By ALICIA HART No matter how many people tell you that beauty preparations are a waste of money and beauty routines a waste of time, you can prove to yourself that your crities are ‘wrong. Simply cleanse your | face and throat more thoroughly, pat on skin tonic, 1,pply cream every | night for a month, then notice the difference in your complexion, It really is true that night cream
(left on for at least 20 minutes) tends to alleviate fine lines and wrinkles, improves the texture of dry and normal skin, Also that soap and water cleansings, skin tonic and pore paste correctly used make an oily complexion less greasy and unattractive. You can't expect miracles, but it you get the right preparations, use them according to directions every single night, you certainly will see an improvement, Those who say cosmetics are 8» silly {dea and that anyone can make them herself in her own kitchen ought to try it some iime, They will discover, all too soon, that the necessary ingredients (especially perfume oils) are most cxpensive when purchased in small quantities, that all kinds of tiny scales and measuring devices further run up the overhead, that the kitchen snd sink drain will be pretty sorry sights after one afternoon of amateur manufacturing. Then, too, homemade products are not sterile and often have a neat ways of becoming rancid. One might clinch the argument simply by pointing out that few and far between are women who buy a bar rel of potatoes to make starch in their own kitchens or a ton of wheat to make flour in the garage or backyard. If your budget is limited, get one cream, one lotion, powder, rouge and a lipstick, then learn to supplement these with home treat. ments, using items from the kitchen cupboard. Oatmeal and egg masques, lemon juice and other homemade bleaches, ice water—these and many more, too, are not only simple to use but really efficacious.

Organisms In Kidneys Intricate
By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor Amertean Medical Association Journal
When you eat giblets you get portions of beef or jamb kidneys which may give you some idea of their construction. Lamb kidneys
may be served broiled for breakfast, cut in half. If you will study these halves, you will have a much more definite idea of the way in which your kidneys are formed. Fach human kidney is about 4% inches in length, 2% inches wide and about 1% inches thick. Human kidneys weigh, on the average, about one-third of a pound. The kidney bean is of the same shape as the human kidney. The tissue is made up of three main portions of collecting tubes and small filters which empty into a central area, this, in turn, passing into a tube known ax the ureter, down which the urine flows to the bladder. These ureters are 10 to 12 inches long.
Many Filter Chambers
Pach of the kidneys contains anywhere from a million to four million filter chambers, each of which is associated with two inches of tubing—all of which is so tiny
as not to he distinguishable to the unaided eye. BSomeone has estimated that the complete length of tubing makes about 140 miles. Yet this is all compressed into the space of ahout 20 cubic inches, It has been estimated that for the elimination of 1. quarts of fluid by the kidneys, more than 60 quarts of fluid pass through them. The kidneys get rid of 40 to 60 per cent of all of the water that passes out of the body. This water contains, of course, waste materials which are the result of the using up of protein by the body.
Alkaline Reaction Necessary
In the kidneys much of the ac. tion takes place that keeps the body in a normal chemical reaction. The human body is never acid in health but it may be less alkaline sometimes than at others, It is necessary to maintain an alkaline reaction in order to be healthful, The kidneys also eliminate proper amounts of salt and water from time to time so as to keep the body in a proper equilibrium in relationship to fluid. If the fluid is not satisfactorily eliminated, the tissues become waterlogged with the development of dropsy and swelling of the legs due to the fluid that they contain. If, on the other hand, too much water is eliminated, the body driex up and a condition of dehydration fs incompatible with life.

Confident Youngsters Ars Inclined to Waste Their Energy in Wanting Everything. By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

This, however, is less often the case than one might think. Too often we accuse the defense techanism of olaying tricks. The cocks sure child is just as good as anyone at foreing his will on others,
Devotes Self to Service
Our chief interest, however, lies in the child's own feelings. Is he happier or is he more miserable as an introvert, the over-sensitive child being quite naturally our lessconfident one? Let us see. He (or she) wants to be liked, very much indeed. Therefore he develops a wistful approach in order to make friends, He is willing to go to almost any length, to make and keep a few cronies. Repeated often enough, it becomes a habit of service, consideration and trying fo please. Once this habit is set, he has attained a character, Is it unadmirabe? Hardly, What have all the philosophers told us, and rightly, about service {and humility? That true happiness can only be reached through them. B80 it seems that such a child is on his way to a certain spirit of content. We are not speaking of cringers, the obsessively poorsspirited, but of the normally inferior child Then there is something else.
