\EAR JANE JORDAN—My daughter, who is 15, has been struggling during the last year with a problem which neither she nor I are

able to solve. In her club there is one girl who takes pleasure in mak-

ing my child suffer. She has gathered a small group of girls around her and convinced them that it is fun to humiliate my daughter. . At each club meeting these girls get together and make fun of Doris: snatch her purse and strew its contents all over the room; hide . her books; and torment her in numerous ways. At first my daughter took it asa joke and was a good sport about it. After a long time, however, she realized that she was the only person ever treated in this manner. She also became aware that the ringleader sald nasty little Jungs to her with a really venomous look in her eyes. I knew nothing of his nti Doris broke down and cried bitterly and I got the entire sa ry. Doris doesn’t want to be rude or ugly to anyone, and she doesn't want to make too great an issue out of the affair; yét she is being made miserable by the behavior of the other girl. Can you suggest _ some course of action which would straighten this gg out? LG

Answer: The normal, natural behavior of a girl who meets with persecution from a contemporary is to retaliate. Her retaliation discourages. the persécutor who léarns to respect the study ego which refuses to be imposed upon. One suspects that this is not the first time that she has been in a situation where she was defeated by another girl, a sister, perhaps, { whom she regarded as an interloper in a cozy situation which she previously enjoyed with her parents. One also suspects that the sister, or sister-substitute, ‘has consist- * ently outshown your daughter over a period of years and that her . aggression toward the sister has been inhibited through fear of parental disapproval, and replaced by an attitude of patient submission. : If this guess is correct it is easy to see why, when your daughter is confronted with another situation where another girl arouses her hostility, that the original feeling of guilt which accompanied her first hostility toward her sister, is also aroused. To relieve.the guilt she again represses her hostility, even though on this occasion it is Justified in reality and nothing of which she should be ashamed. Encourage her to show her anger against her persecutor and take her own part without feeling like a worm. Try to correct the original _ situation, which is probably quite obvious, by bringing the représsed feelings into the limelight where she can deal with them without

fear of losing love. JANE JORDAN.

HERE are ways -of keeping up appearances—in spite of Wiking heat waves. For example, the smart girl remembers to: Let freshly applied lipstick set for a moment or two, afterward bMtting it with a piece of cleansing tissue before moistening lips. This keeps the color from running and smearing—no matter how oily the lipstick or hot the day. Use an antiperspirant under arms at least twice a week. Furthermore, she keeps an antiperspirant powder handy, too, and dusts it on her feet about once ~ week. Brush her hair every night with a clean hairbrush. This removes excess oil and perspiration odor as well as falling dandruff and the day’s accumulation of dust. Think twice before ordering a late summer dress that is lav1ishly ‘finished with white touches. Unless she is sure that she will, have both time and the inclination to keep the white touches im-" maculately white, she buys a plain dress and wears smart, cool=looking jewelry with it. Get summer shoes for street wear a half size larger than those she wore last winter. Feet usually swell slightly during hot months, and aching toes and arches make any hot day seem twice as hot. Put on a clean cotton slip each morning and to wear thin silk panties under her girdle. ; Use “only the lightest, freshest perfume during hot daytime hours. More often than not, she wears scented cologne or a favorite toilet water during the day, saving perfume for evening use. : Include several washable dresses in her wardrobe, and to keep everything, washable or not, absolutely clean and carefully pressed. “If you look cool, you generally feel cool. The smart girls know this.

s¢hool basketball team. The dancing in thi¢ case was not the jitterbug variety, although it is likely that the dancers—sophomores

colleges—can hold up their end successfully in jitterbug activities as well as in the more classical forms of the modern dance. So far as this latter type of dancing is concerned, and perhaps it is true for other types also, the girl with long upper arms and long thighs is at a disadvantage.

Leading Schools Studied

Physical measurements of girls who were the best and the poorest in modern dance classes at Barnard, Goéucher, Smith, Vassar and Wellesley showed this. The findings and their significance have been reported by Dr. Elizabeth Beall, of Teachers ‘College, Columbia ‘University, New York. The relation between stature or body build aud success in various forms of athletics has long been studied for men. The girls, apparently, have | been rather neglected in this respect. Dr. Beall’s studies do not furnish a basis for advising a girl to engage in one or another of the various activities on the basis of body build. She has found certain measurements, however, which endicate that a girl (will he mote or less successful in a certain line of activity. “The successful swimmers,” she

Whether the extra weight the

due to larger bones, bigger muscles or more fat could not be told Irom Dr. Beall’'s measurements. Ability to float, she points out, is undoubtedly an advantage in swimming. Some authorities beliéve that this ability depends on fat}. and on the amount of air or gas in the lungs and other body tissues. The deeper chest and larger chest circumference found in the succesful swimmers would give them a greater chest capacity with more room for expansion of the lungs and hence a greater volume of air in the lungs to increase floating ability. Successful tennis players, Dr. Beall ‘found, differed from the unsuccessful ones in only four measurements, as compared with the six significantly different measurements found in successful and unsuccessful swimmers and basketball players. A long body with broad feet apparently are whafla girl needs to be a tennis star, so far as physical measurements are concerned. The successful players were taller, both standing and sitting, than the unsuccessful ones. They had longer legs (both thighs and from the knee down) and broader feet. The broad foot helps maintain balance by giving greater leverage between the axis of inversion and eversion, Dr. Beall says. The long legs help the player to cover the court quickly, an important factor for good tennis playing. Long Arms Not Needed You ht think the tennis player would need long arms and big

leverage. The only difference between the successful tennis players and the good swimmers is that the swimmers have broader hips. The star of the basketball team has longer arms, longer and broader feet and wider shoulders. than the poor players. The entire length of the arm is important in this game, but the length of the hand is of eveh greater importance. This is probably because the 30-inch

basketball can be caught more se-|

curely and handled more easily by a girl with a long hand than by one with a short hand. . For some reasen not easy to explain, a long upper arm is more

than a long forearm. Greater length of arm, of course, makes it possible to reach a greater distance which helps decidedly both in catching the ball and in throwing it when closely guarded. Longer and broader feet probably help the player keep her balance, which is important in a game like basketball involving a great deal of running and Jumping with suddén stops and changes in direction. Long thighs and long upper arms are considered a dvantage for the modern dance. “These two measurements were the only ones in which Dr. eall found a significant difference between the good and poor dancers and it was the girls with the long upper arms and thighs who were found in the unsuccessful ups.
