DEAR JANE JORDAN-—Several days ago a letter was published from a woman who was a day dreamer. In your reply you stated that in general there was nothing much to worry about—that inventors, writers and the like were all dreamers. This is true, but I ask you, have you ever day dreamed so much that you were obsessed with it? So much so that - you could not do your work properly? < Well, I have and do. I am not boasting but would like to eliminate part or all of this . thing which crowds out reality and straight thinking. ; These things are very real to folks who dream all the time, It sometimes begomes embarrassing to me when I Sake mistakes in my work when I should have my mind focused on the thing I am doing. Now may I suggest that you give this some serious thought and see if you can come up with some very good advice on our dilemma? ANOTHER DAY DREAMER. ” ” » Answer—If you read my answer to the day dreamer carefully you will remember that I said day dreaming was harmless unless carried to excess, and the cure was to translate dreams into action. Surely it is obvious that no one can .do this for you. It is" up to you to identify yourself with other people, to interest yourself in their problems and projects, to train yourself in doing instead of dreaming. If you need help in this reeducation, psychiatrists are available. The. technique is to help you retrace your steps from childhood to the present, find the cause for your retreat into a dream world, and to give your repressions a thorough airing in order to release the energy which is now tied up in . fantasy. Usually the cause for retreat into fantasy is to be found in early home influences, in parental sever-

combination of the two, in parental alcoholism, divorce, broken homes, uhhappy rivalry between brothers and sisters and the like. The lack of courage which makes you unwilling to deal with life as it is, to take the bitter with the sweet, cannot be explained by a newspaper columnist. Try to unravel it for yourself and if you can-

nated waste. Much depends on the size of your family. Obviously, the single person has a couple of strikes on him,

but from rations for two you can

squeeze out two extra meals, and on rations for: three, it should be easy, especially if the family lunches out several times a week.

Serve Simple Meals IT CAN BE fun. The meals will be simple, with no more brainbusting to give the Joneses something different than they had last time. Your friends won't expect any frills, but if you can manage to spring a surprise on them, your reputation as a cook-hostess is made. Remember. that however simple the dish, it must be served piping hot or adequately cold, and there must be plenty of it. Your friends must not be allowed to think that the meal they eat with you is going to set the family back at least two, Building up a small reserve for unexpected guests or a surprise party for the boys home on leave helps a lot. Over some periods you will fiind that you don’t have to touch your “points” foods, which can be replaced by fresh fruits, vegetables and fish, : Then also, you'll find a good deal of lend-leasing. spirit in ‘wartime entertaining. Friends will indulge in a little bartering on supplies—if you swap them for canned fruit, cheese or what have you.

Don't Toy With Food.

OF COURSE, wartime cooking is not so simple. You'll have to do some experimenting if you want to pop up with something that has the guests calling for “seconds.”

Though you may have been brought up in the gourmet tradition, under rationing you'll have to adapt your pre-war recipes to wartime conditions, And remember, too, that you'll have to eat the tragedies and failures, because you can’t afford to throw out what was originally good food. The guiding principle for a wartime hostess should be to serve a satisfying, nutritious meal. People, especially women, are working much harder these days, and need sustenance. ~ It isn’t cute to toy with your food, and, in England at least, folks no longer leave some food on their plates “for manners.” As a matter of fact, it wauld be, considered

unpatriotic.

Although “allure” is taboo in factories, ‘there are no rules attractive, form-fitting lines, especially when
