Miss Him

By RUTH MIDLETT GIRLS ARE getting a lot of advice today on what to say and what not to say in their letters to soldiers. . Some; of the words of caution are good and séme not so good. But about the worst advice yet comes from a] ‘charm expert” who tells the girls that such sentences as “I miss you so, dear,” “last night| - th e moonlight was so beauti= ful” and “I'm terribly lonesome now that you've gone to

DEAR JANE JORDAN—Ever since I can remember, I've been the

victim of an inferiority complex. It's made me miserable and embarrassed me more times than I can remember. When I'm in a crowd or even among a small group of strangers, I'm stricken with self-con-sciousness and shyness. It is not that I do not like people. I do, and there’s nothing I'd like more than to be popular and have a lot of friends, but I just don’t know how. Whenever I have a date, I sit in frozen silence and try in vain to think of something to talk about. I'm not really a dud, and with some people I am at ease, but a lot of people think I am a. snob because I'm too scared to speak to them when we meet on the street. I do hope you can tell me some way to overcome this terrible complex of mine—MARY. ” Ed os

Answer—It may surprise you to know that you are not alone in your feeling of inferiority. Almost every person has experienced at some time or other a feeling of inadequacy in certain situations. The feeling of weakness starts in infancy when the individual is dependent upon adults for his welfare. which is responsible for the child’s living in the family group is paralled by men as a whole who form into social groups in order to feel more secure. A group can accomplish what the isolated individual cannot. The only difference between you and other people is that you feel your inadequacies more keenly, a fact which dates back to poor social training as a child. Since your problem is common to the whole human race, you can do what others have done to overcome it. Your salvation lies in becoming a more active membé? of society which has banded together for its own protection. For some reason you regard people as your enemies when you should look upon them as friends. Your first simple step should consist of training yourself to speak to people in a ‘friendly manner. Make it a point to greet some one person each day with a smile. When you find how readily they respond to a warm manner it will ease off some of your tension and

prepare you for the next step which|

is| to talk to them. Try to tear your thoughts loose from the moorings of self and aetu-

ally interest yourself in another}

person. What is he like? What are his- interests, hopes, fears and aspirations? The question is a good

approach. Did he or she see a cer=|

tain movie, or read a certain book? What did he think about the outcome of a certain game, where does he stand on the defense problem? You must have enough interests to provide a topic for conversation. In this the hobby is an inyaluable

aid. Thus the stamp collestor has|

a point.of contact with other stamp collectors. The g ner ‘can talk to other gardeners, the needlewoman to other needlewomen and SO on. : Remember you have to be inter ested in something outside yourself in order to interest others. Excell at something, no matter how trivial, and it will help to ease on your feeling of inadequacy. JANE JORDAN.

By ALICIA HART

EVERY WOMAN can profit by a daily facial, especially new when cold breezes blow and dust clings to the skin. It’s easier to go to a good beauty salon, but in between visits, you can treat yourself at home, nightly. Tie back your hair with some sort of band and apply cleansing cream, lotion or oil, with your fingertips. Of course, evety single stroke should be upward. Then wipe off the cream, and also the day’s dirt, with immaculate tissues or soft cloth. Then wash your face. ‘And really WASH it, as you'd wash fine, quite soiled gloves. Then rinse your face with ‘tepid water, then cold. of course there’s nothing like a good fragrant astringent, at this | point, if you have some. Now gat in your nourishing cream. There's a new one that feels exceptionally smooth. An old established house offers it now and at a relatively inexpensive price. This cream is- homogenized, which is the maker’s way of saying it’s mixed under pressure. It has a lanolin bas

THERE'S HARDLY A THING you buy. that won't be affected by the National Defense Program in one way or another,

~ says Leon Henderson, Uncle Sam’s Price

Administrator. We can’t foresee them all

“today, he tells us, but we do know that ‘many consumer goods will be Hmited in

supply.

Here's his list of things already known to be scarce as Mr. Henderson lists them in an artiele in The American ‘Magazine: 1. Metals: Aluminum, nickel, copper,

zinc and some types of steel, from which

are made things you buy, such as: Auto-

- mobiles, refrigerators, washing machines, irons, electric fans, toasters, roasters, per-

colators, aluminum pots and pans, roller skates, bicycles, metal furniture, stainless steel knives, zinc tops for canning jars, vacuum cleaners and many other tems

used in the home.

+2, Materials hard to get because they have to be brought here from far places and we're shy on shipping space. These include: Rubber, imported oils, cork, spices, linen, bone, mother-of-pearl, oils

: and chemicals for tanning shoes, tapiona,

perfumes, or materials. from which . perfumes are made, like musk, lemongrass and citronella. Things you buy that use these materials include: Overshoes, baby, pants, automobile: tires, bicycle and tricycle. tires, sneakers, balls, paints and varnishes, : soap, tapioca pudding, cotton goods that

~ use tapioca in their finishes, highly glossed

paper, bottle stoppers, linoleum, black and | white pepper, vanilla, sage, bone buttons,

gelatin, pearl buttons, linen handkerchiefs,

tea towels and fishing lines. 3. Materials which we produce in the United States but which in the past have been supplemented by imports—such as

. wool.

4. Materials which we produce entirely but which are now low-in supply because, the defense and lend-lease programs have taxed our resources. These include: Wool blankets, men’s shoes, some kinds of cotton cloth, leather upholstery, cotton and rayon upholstery, pork, dairy products, eggs and some canned goods, especially. canted fish

‘and canned tomatoes.
