BEAUTY
RIGID, STARVATION DIETS are a great mistake, as any doctor or reputable exercise salon will agree. The smart woman manages to lose a few pounds without endangering her health for a second, or, for that matter, without being continually hungry or causing herself actual discomforts or boredom. She simply eats minimum amounts of the high-caloried, rich foods but adequate quantities of the low caloried, more or less non-fattening ones. She doesn't eliminate any particular type of food. She just consumes a little less of evervthing at each meal. For instance, she stops indulging in second helpings. When she has had one medium-size portion of everything on the menu, she stops eating. And that is that. If she gets hungry between meals, the nibbles fruit or celery, raw tomatoes, carrots or cabbage, instead of pastry or sweets. If she feels that she must go on a diet, she knows that the light breakfast, light lunch and regular dinner diet is a good one to follow.
By ALICIA HART
THIS ALLOWS FOR FRUIT, one slice of lightly buttered toast and a hot beverage for the first meal of the day; a light soup or vegetable juice, a large green salad with precious little dressing. one slice of toast and a beverage for lunch. For dinner, one portion of everything on the menu. No second helpings, of course, and no dessert at all until salad has been eaten. Only fruit is allowed between meals or hefore going to bed. : Once she has lost the desired amount of weight, she tries to get a little more exercise each day. She walks to market a couple of times a week instead of driving the car or taking a bus. Or she finds time to do a few special waistline exercises every other day. Exercise keeps the lost weight from reappearing all too quickly, of course.
JANE JORDAN
DEAR JANE JORDAN-—Could you give me an answer to the following problem? Why should a small boy, aged 12, be a pathological liar? He is weak, undersized, of poor family, anti-social in regard to children his own age, preferring to wander around by himself or spend much of his time with adults. He frequently runs away from home without telling his people where he is going. He has given his grandmother several bad scares when he didn't come home all night. His mother died when this young fellow was 3. His father is a truck driver and his work takes him all over the country. When the boy's mother died, the father turned him over to his grandparents. The grandfather is almost totally deaf; the grandmother is German and speaks English very poorly. I can understand Why this boy would be full of complexes, but I should like to know a resonable psychological answer for his lving. He doesn't only make up wild tales to excuse his escapades, but constantly has some vivid story of pure fabrication to tell. However, on some occasions, when he has gotten himself into some small mess, he has been known to tell the honest truth, blaming himself if he was at fault. Can you tell me whether this is a form of escape from reality, or just what? AN INTERESTED NEIGHBOR.
n z n
= Answer: You have answered your own question. Reality for this boy is extremely unsatisfactory. He feels unloved at home and this is why he runs away. The loss,of one or both parents is particularly serious if it occurs before the age of seven. The little child learns to love the parent of the opposite sex and to control his jealousy of the parent of the same sex. When either parent is removed during this period it interferes with the child's psychosexual development. This child lost his mother at the age of 3. He had no oppor. tunity to attach himself to his father as a substitute satisfaction because the father's work takes him away on long journeys. This I am sure he interprets as a desertion. He might have been able to transfer his frustrated love on to his grandparents, but their handicaps in speech and hearing made it difficult for him to establish a relationship with them. Actually the boy has no one to understand and love him. ‘ In the face of such a cold and drab reality, what can a child do except to substitute fantasy? All children lead a life rich in ‘fantasy, but give it up in favor of a satisfactory reality. For this child there is nothing to take the place of his imaginary inventions. It is encouraging that he still can tell the difference between fact and fiction as is evidenced by the fact that he tells the truth at times even though it will bring blame upon his own head. The fact that he is weak and undersized adds to his personal insecurity. The nature of his lies would be extremely instructive, A good guess would be that thev deal with physical prowess and provide an outlet for the hostile feelings harbored by every unloved child. If you would try to interest this bov's school teachers in his predicament, something might be done for him. A friendly visitor from the child welfare society could help him. You could help him yourself by taking a friendly interest in his affairs. He has learned to love no one because no one really loves him. He doesn't know how to make friends with other children. His real life is unhappy and his happy life is unreal. JANE JORDAN,

category. Consult an authority on the subject. For the young girl, beautiful accessories, a new party dress, handknit sweaters, evening stockings, pastel suede gloves or a makeup kit are acceptable luxury items. For boys, consider sports equipment of all kinds, evening jewelry, monogrammed pen and pencil sets, furnishings to make his room seem more truly his. Finally, if you get stuck for an idea, solve the quandray by remembering that every woman considers a bottle of perfume a luxury, no matter how much perfume she already has.

CHILDREN
DEAR MRS. FREY:
In this article I am using your real name, because the lovely little prayer you say I may quote, should have your own credit line, I certainly agree with you that the little lines of “Now I Lay Me" may worry some children. I can well remember that when I said them beside my bed, I used to think it was quite likely that I should die before I awoke, and I didn't like the idea at all. Before I go any further, I shall copy your words:
“This night when I lie down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; When in the morning I awake, Help me the path of love to take And keep it, Lord, for Thy dear sake.”
I receive other versions of the famous old prayer from time to time. This is why I believe so many mothers are interested in ime proving it. WE MUST NOT TRY to change that sacred classic, “The Lord's Prayer.” But this other is a traditional one, improved, like many of the hymns we sing, by a layman, There is no sacrilege in changing it, or even making up a prayer of our own. But little children learn by repeating a set stanza. What they learn at this time provides a way for longer and more difficult prayers. It is essential to the child’s religious life for him to learn quite early the habit of the nightly praper,. It is very hard to change tradition. “Now I lay me” probably always will be the child classic. I do not think it has done much real harm as far as putting fear into hearts of children goes. But when a mother thinks it wise to substitute other words, or change the entire context, she can do so without any twinge of conscience. Your little prayer is happy and uplifting. That is a note in all religious life that I believe needs to be stressed. Indeed it is the thing most needed in all life today.
Yours sincerely, * OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON.

PATERN 951 BECOMING YOKE ON MATRON'S DRESS
OF COURSE YOU need a winter-through-spring sort of dress to work in at home. A dress that greets an unexpected caller and runs the vacuum cleaner with equal assurance and competance! This cheery style by Claire Tilden—Pattern 951—is just the thing. First there's that pecoming panel that streaks from neck to hem in a wonderful sliming line. Now see the cleferly shaped yoke—it locks almost like a collar— without half the bother! It's colorfully edged with ric-rac or ruffling which may also be used at the smartly cut pockets and on the bands of the puffed sleeves. There's a flared sleeve version too that's most comfortable, especially for arms inclined toward heaviness. If the design of your fabric is distinct —perhaps a check or a stripe—you might like the yoke and the front panel cut on the bias. Be sure to use the Sew Chart to speed you on to a quick finish. Pattern 951 is cut in women's sizes 34, 36, 38, 40. 42, 44 46 and 48. Size 36 requires 3% vards 35-inch fabric and 1% vards ric-rac. Bend fifteen cenis (15¢) in coins for this pattern.
