Emphasis on Overgrowth
Are Often Sensitive to Comment, Parents Advised.
Adolescents
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON
Is your Tommy or Sylvia too fat? If so, what are you going to do about it? I have just had a letter from a lady begging me to answer this question. I may as well confess right now, however, that I don’t know much about it. I think I would just have to let it go and wait for time to thin them up, as it usually does, because more often than not, these young Gargantuas deflate in their teens. There is, of course, the chance that some gland has become overly ambitious and pumped something or other into the blood stream to turn all nourishment into lard. In such & case the doctor might be consulted, who will refer you to the specialist in such matters. This is far wiser than trying to starve the child, because he needs food. Of course, if he has an appetite that borders on gluttony, you can cut down on the pan cakes and carbohydrates, starches and sugars, but even here the amateur may be mistaken, I leave it here, with a repetition that the doctor knows more than the parent. And I know nothing at all.
Don’t Talk About It
But there is another angle to it that we can do something about. And that is to pretend that it makes no difference to us whether

Avoid Undue
Dramatic Veil Swathes Hat
Richly swathed in a dramatic black veil is Ann Sothern’s smart hat of black felt with its high sugar-loaf crown and wide square-cut brim. The triangular shaped handbag of fine black suede carries out Xe effect achieved by the hat. Edward Stevenson designed the ensemle for her.
| Ralph Waltz is to take place in the home of the bride-to-be’s parents on the night of Feb. 6.
Tommy is as long and lean as a string bean, or as overstuffed as & | club chair. He is going to get the idea that he is a queer bird, if he finds his mother weeping over his | too-well-padded bones. The other voungsters are gomeg to call him “Fatty,” of course, but {hat doesn't matter. If he wasn't Fatty, he would be “Red,” or “Skinny” or even “Kewp,” as one young friend of ours was called because he resembled a Kewpie doll, even to the little top knot that distinguished the adored pets of a decade ago / As a rule fat people are placid and happy. They are not thin skinned or oversensitive. It is the parent who usually suffers. This is useless and unfortunate. Every one has his pattern. Let it go at that. Don't fix an ideal for personal stature in your mind, dear mother. and grieve when nature thinks differently. Accents Self-Consciousness It often happens, of course, that voung people going through certain phases of overgrowth, sometimes up and sometimes sideways, feel selfconscious and ashamed, because it | usually hits them at the most sensitive time of their lives. The adolescent is nearly always awkward, for instance, and does the most embarrassing things at precisely the time he wishes to make the best impression. The girl or boy who has been right cheerful about their size up to 12 or 13, may suddenly hate themselves. Well, I have seen so many skim off the | cream when they reachefl eighteen | that this hope might be held out to | them. However,
if they are really too obese, either by inheritance or something else, I would ask the doctor. He will suggest a safe diet, perhaps, or some treatment that is helpful.

Proper Diet Held Big Aid To Oily Skin
Plenty of Soap and Water Also Helps to Abolish Condition.
By ALICIA HART
The girl whose skin is unusually oily ought to cleanse with soap and water at lemst three times a day, use a greaseless foundation lotion and pay more attention to her diet. Very often, cutting down on the amount of fatty foods will cause pores of the skin to secrete less oil. One whose complexion is excessively dry ought to use soap and water on her face no more than once every other day during winter months, cleanse several times a day with cleansing cream. She needs a foundation cream which gives the skin a moist appearance, and night cream every night, of course. Perhaps her diet does not include enough fatty foods. This is something to think about, anyway. Pore Paste Helps
If she has blackheads (generally speaking, such blemishes are more likely to appear on oily skins than dry ones), a pore paste may help. And sometimes a mild astringent is advisable. In any event, she ought to renew her attention to scap and water cleansings and ask her doctor or a reputable beauty salon for an analysis. It is a mistake to ignore an oily condition until pores become permanently enlarged or the tiny blemishes become big ones.
Get Sample Habit
Sooner or later, every woman who wants to look her best must find makeup which suits her skin as well as her taste. It is an excellent idea to get the sample habit, asking at your favorite cosmetics counter for a sample of this or that, then trying each until you find a complete set of makeup items that suit you perfectly.
Don't be too sure you do not like cream rouge until you have tried it. Be curious about face powders, perfumes, lipsticks and so on. Spend a little time experimenting. It's a mistake to get into

Cabbage can get ahead in life if it isn’t cooked to death first. Remember that line—too many people stew cabbage until it loses its essential delicacy and becomes no more than a pungent mess.

HOSE who recognize that the smartest clothes are simply tailored will agree that Pattern 8091 comes in that category. It’s young, fresh looking and comfortable. But best of all, it is easy to make. The bodice and skirt are cut in one piece and darted to give a snug line at the waist. Set-in sleeves, short and puffed, add a wideshouldered look. Use braid to trim the neck and sleeves. You can make this dress in a few hours and you will wear it all through the winter as your favorite ’‘round-the-house frock. Choose a bright, cheery print —there are so many lovely ones this season.
If you are just learning to sew, this is a good dress on which to start. There are only a few seams and the pattern includes complete sewing instructions with diagrams. Pattern 8091 is designed for sizes 14, 16, 18, 20, 40 and 42. Size 16 requires 3% yards of 39-inch material and 1% yards of braid te trim. To obtain a pattern and step-by-
