x As Eleanora Sense, widely known authority on dietetics and author of America’s Nutrition Primer, points § out, fat is fat and there are many varieties from which tg choose substitutes.’ People of the Latin races have always relished olive oil, k both for cooking and on salads. : Butter is rarely used on bread in = their homes. & The people of cold countries have i a preference for the meats that have lots of fat; pork, for instance, *£ and sausages in which fat is ground with lean, We can utilize our fat * meats more extensively. count on these and vegetable fats and oils to supply our needs. From the point of view of vitamin content, to which butter contributes A and D, the picture also is reassuring. 2

“PLAN ON an extra glass of milk, an ounce of yellow cheese or an ‘additional serving of leafy green “or yellow vegetables for a simple program,” Miss Sense suggested. “If the day’s meals are originally well planned, one of these extras will suffice to make up for the # butter shortage and more.” '& A child needs about 5000 units of * vitamin A per day, easily provided. Ten squares of butter, a quarter ‘of a pound, contains 2400 units of . yitamin A, an amount almost equaled by a serving of-carrots, % cup, which contains 2000 units.

It is only in planning children’s diets that vitamin D need be consid any loss through lack of butter is negligible in a well rounded diet. Such foods as fresh and canned fish, eggs, fortified milk and cereals, all regularly available to well-fed children, contain this vitamin. . Fish liver oils should be given by doctor's order when needed to supplement this ordinary supply, we.are advised.
® #2 Tradition of Butter
THIS PLANNING for the butter shortage, a situation that will confront the housewife frequently as other items of food) are either rationed or scarce, brought this suggestion from Miss Sense: “Make each meal important these days. Don’t depend on: the next
meal to compensate for the deficiencies .of this one or the last, which you may have chosen hastily or lazily. Instead of looking at the day’s meals as a unit, see that each meal feeds you well for the period ahead. Eat good breakfasts and lunches as well as good dinners.” As Miss Sense suggested, we are all apt to eat according to a pattern. We get used to things, like them and are loath to give them up or find substitutes. Butter to cook with, to lavish on bread and rolls and melt into golden pools on waffles and pancakes, is an American tradition that seems to be raised to the luxury class by war.
» Bread AND— NOW WHEN the youngsters rush in of an afternoon with ravishing appetites, they probably won't get bread and butter AND, with their milk. They'll get bread plus the AND. 1t could be cream cheese and jelly, pot cheese, American cheese, peanut butter or such sweet, spreads as jelly, jam, apple butter, honey, molasses or other syrups. Mayonnaise, by the way, serves las both seasoning and moistener in sandwiches otherwise too dry. Our British cousins, long experienced in making certain foods do, recommend a bread spread that was familiar and well loved in our childhood. Beef fat, saved separately from other meat drippings, is chilled in the refrigerator and seasoned as needed with salt and pepper. Try it melted on the breakfast toast when the butter is gone. Not

GIFT IDEA —crystal or glass for Christmas! Modern American glassware is a happy holiday thought this year of priorities. Let your selection be a single piece of spark-
stemware for the very special. gift, and you're sure to please. In starting a glassware pattern for the hostess or bride-to-be, you can give four, or eight, or a dozen water goblets with the thought that other types of glasses and plates may be added later. Or you may want to give one or more “place settings”—complete glassware service for one person—as a starter. This might include a goblet, sherbet and juice glass and a plate. 8 » ” FOR THE SUPERB .GIFT, have the glasses monogrammed

DEAR JANE JORDAN—Last year I was going with a girl whom I loved very much. We were to be married, but had some trouble and
badly, but it was due to the fact that practically every night a bunch of fellows she knows would come over. ; At first I thought nothing of it, but after a couple of months it became tiresome. I asked ‘her if it was necessary for those fellows to keep on coming over. She got mad and we had a rather bitter quarrel. From then on things got worse between us. When we went. out together she would flirt with other fellows and try to make me mad, and- then S)claim it was all my fault. - I would not have thought so much of those fellows coming over ‘if they had brought girls with them, but I only remember one time that there ever was another girl- with them: Here lately 'I have apologized to her for the way I treated her, but she refuses to accept my apology. I have tried going out with other girls, but it just doesn’t work. I can’t adjust myself to any other girl but her. Should I keep on trying to get her back or what should I do?-<STEADY READER. 8 #8 Answer—You ‘would be better off if you simply could accept the fact the girl does not care enough for you to make it worth your while. If her interest in you had been strong enough she would have resented the intrusion of outsiders as much as you did. I agree with you that it is very tiresome to spend every : evening with a bunch of unattached men hanging around. One wonders why they were content to spend their time with a girl and her fiance instead of forming their own. twosomes. It looks as if they were ‘moochers who wanted to find a place to spend their evenings where nothing was required of them. You were well within your rights when you ob-
