Heart and Beauty Problems By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson

FAIR NOVICE AT SWIMMING SETS RECORD EARLY

Dear Mrs., Thompson: (1) Do nice people go to the coast and put on those unsightly bathing suits? (2) I am going to the coast, a I have never seen the ocean. I would like to stay several days and am going in a car through the country. What would I need in the way of clothes? I have a nice spring suit, navy. Do people take their best clothes to the coast or Just serviceable ones? (3) If I go, should I have a cape, ana what kind? Are they waterproof? (4) I have two children, a boy ten and a little girl six. Shall I take clean clothes enough to last them, or can I get washing done? WATER BOUND. (1) People's opinions of "nice" differ. Some very resDectable DeoDle

believe that it is "nice" to wear whatever is most convenient for swimming. Personally I object to vulgar suits. (2) You must let circumstances govern what you take. If you do not expect to appear socially, your suit and serviceable clothes will probably be most satisfactory. But if you expect to spend time at beach hotels you will need light, dressy clothing. Also you must take into consideration the amount you can carry with you. (3) It is not necessary to have a cape. A bathrobe or raincoat would be all right. Many people wear only their suits from the bathhouse to the beach. There are rubber capes to put on after bathing. (4) You can get washing done at Chinese laundry. It will be a good plan, however, to take what you think you need. You must real' it is difficult for me to help you tiace I do not know

any of the circumstances governing your case. Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two girls 16 years old. A friend of ours who formerly lived in this city Is coming to visit us and we want to have a slumber party but do not know how to manage It. Neither of us has ever attended a slumber party. Will you please give us a few hints? PEACHES AND CREAM. Invite as many of your girl friends

as you have room for, making a congenial crowd and call them up by phone or see them personally. Simply say that you are having a slumber

party for youx girl friend and you want them to come. If you wish you may invite them for dinner in the evening also. You are expected, or at least it is customary to have a lunch late in the evening and then you must serve breakfast to the party. The girls bring their own toilet sets and sleeping attire. Sometimes in order to provide entertainment for the evening picture show party is formed. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a young matron, five feet two and one-half inches and weigh 165 pounds which I think is too much. Can you tell me what my measurements should be, for a person my height. Should vegetables and fruits be the main foods in my diet. After being in the sun are cold showers beneficial? GRATEFULLY F. You are overweight, but I , cannot tell you exactly how much. You can get a pamphlet which will tll you what your correct measurement should be. Vegetables and fruits should be a large part of the diet. Both are very good. Cold showers are splendid if there is the proper reaction.

A Chance to Live By Zoe Beckley

THE UNSPECIALIZED MAN. Bernie left the place feeling much reduced in confidence. The idea of his friend telling him the salary was "twenty-five to thirty"! And there was no exclusiveness about the job at all. The people had apparently advertised the vacancy, or else why should all those other fellows be there? He was disgusted, and went to think it over at a dairy lunchroom. While he was finishing his baked apple and crullers he picked up a discarded newspaper and glanced at the want advertisements. Beginning at the A's, his eyes ran nuickly and discardingly down through "Automobile body-makers," "Automobile drivers," 'Automobile varnish rubbers." "Automobile course complete, $35," "Airplane mechanics for government work," "Awning hangers";

then "Bakers on fancy cakes," "Barbers" lots of barbers. Barbers were needed wholesale. Bernie almost wished he had training as a barber, the wages sounded so promising. And "Bootblacks, $15 and tips"! More tootblacks. "Boilermakers, fifty first-class men needed, double pay for overtime." He wasn't even a boilermaker! "Boys wanted" filled a column. Carpenters, chauffeurs, cigar salesmen, coal passers, collectors, conductors, cutter on coats and vests, deckhands, dieraaV.ers and draftsmen, drivers, electricians, elevator men everything seemed needed but what Bernie was. No one appeared to need an office clerk. For the first time, Bernie Carroll realized how unspecialized his training had been. He had felt so sure of "his place at Simms & Orcutt's. His work had seemed so definite. Why hadn't some one made him a machinist or

bricklayer? He thought of his poor grandmother. She had done her best to bring him up. She had been very proud that he was a clerk in a nice office. He put the paper in his pocket, and when he had paid his check and got into the street he entered a hallway and tore out eeveral advertisements that sounded possible. He tramped around all afternoon from one to another, finding nothing. Either the place had been filled or the work demanded experience he had not, or the pay was too small to support his family. Bernie got home loig past six, weary and dashed in spirit. Annie saw it and affected a cheeriness she did not feel. "Didn't the job your friend told you about pan out?" she asked, as she briskly cleared the table. "No. It wasn't what Bill said at all Only twenty a week and and not my kind of work anyhow." "Now, isn't that always the wry!"

exclaimed Annie, hiding her gathering fears under a hearty manner. "People get your hopes all up, and then when you investigate everything's different. Well, don't you care. Bern, you can get something on your own hook. Answer ads." Bernard "answered ads" the next day, starting early- Wherever he w ent there were ten times as many fellows as there were jobs. The world seemed filled with competitors. The fewplaces Bernie could have got offered starvation pay, and when he demurred he was invariably told "they could get

plenty of help at that price." Take it or leave it. Bernie remembered how

often he had heard it said that any

ablebodied man who really wants

work can find it. He laughed deris ively. He knew better now.

Day after day he kept trying, his

wife playing well her part of help

mate and encourager. The little she had scraped together from Bernie's

salary, intending it as a "clothes

fund" for themselves and the baby, was soon exhausted. Aunt Margaret

gently proffered aid. but Annie reso

lutely declined it, saying Bernie would

get work she knew he would. (To be continued.)

Miss Marie Curtis, Michigan pirl, bids fair to eet the swimmingworld on end. The newest flash is only sixteen years old and started swimming' this year. She is a member of the Northern High school (Detroit) swim mine team. On July Fourth at Lake Orion she swam the straightaway seventyfive yard dash in 1:10, anew record for that distance. She plans to seek other records before the summer is over. Her beat work so far was fiftyyards, back stroke, in 39 3-5 seconds. This is only four-fifths of a second slower than the record.

Van Camp's Milk brings lower milk bills. It saves the waste of guessing on your milk wants in advance. Here the cow is in the pantry. Small cans and large cans are at your call. Open what you need. No need to guess the day's wants in advance. There is never a shortage, never a waste. Double-Rich Milk Van Camp's is whole milk from high-bred cows, with over half of the water evaporated. It is twice as rich in butter fat and solids as the milk when it comes from the cow. Nothing is subtracted save the water. It is as thick as thick cream. You can even dilute it for coffee or ice cream. Dilute it one-half and you have a very rich milk. Dilute it still further for cooking.

Nothing Changed We take this rich milk, fresh from the cow, and place it in a vacuum. There, by low heat, we evaporate most of the water, and that's all. After sealing the milk in tin cans it is sterilized. That is the only change from fresh milk, and that is essential. Safety requires a germfree milk a pasteurized milk whether you get it in bottles or cans. For coffee or cereals Van Camp's is a cream. For cooking, when greatly diluted, it is still rich in butter fat. A Guarded Milk Van Camp's Milk comes from sanitary dairies, from inspected cows. We have seven model condenseries, in the heart of great dairying districts. The milk is evaporated right after milking. The Van Camp experts have spent twenty years to produce the finest milk in America. You will know that it is when you taste it. Whatever milk you are using bottled or evaporated compare Van Camp's Milk with it. Here is the very utmost in rich, hygienic milk.
