REDUCTION HINTS ' A woman wrote to me recently and Bald that I Btemed to provide as many ways to reduce as there were people who wanted to try. I wrote back and thanked her for the compliment, but assured her that at the bottom all these methods were the same. Before you attempt to reduce you must understand the underlying principles as to why some people grow fat find others thin, though there is apparently no difference in their methods cf life. So for today I would like t otalk about the theory of this a little, and then next week I will give the more practical suggestions. Why we grow and how we grow de- -. pends primarily on the things we eat. If we do not get enough nourishment we will be thin, weak, subject to disease and sometimes deformed. If we get too much nourishment there will be a surplus. This is disposed of in two ways it will ferment and become acid, in which case pimples and other ' troubles .result while the body itself will stay thin; or the surplus food will become fat and spread itself in layers over the body, gradually destroying all lines that our aesthetic taste teaches us are beautiful. Eventually the fat itself will become a disease; it will cause discomfort and even death. There is one thing else that should ' be remembered. Some people are physically so built that they can extract the last bit of nourishment from what they eat. Others do not get all

the benefit of their food. The first sort would grow fat if they ate only

what the second sort consumed, but

even in this case they can reduce by

proper diet. It is necessary of course, to know which foods make fat and

which do not. This subject I have talked about before and will talk about again as it is vitally necessary

for both stout and thin women to understand It. CURLS. A girl. 17, 4 feet 10, should weigh about 108 pounds. CONSTANT READER. A woman of 36, 5 feet 2 inches, should weigh r-bout 123 pounds. You are underweight, but not very much so. If you have indigestion it would account for that, and probably for the hollow-eyed look, since indigestion will make anyone look old and rather peaked. PEGGY. A girl 16, 5 feet 2 inches, should not weigh more than 117 pounds. JUST SIXTEEN. A girl 16, 5 feet 6 Inches tall, should not weigh more than 128 pounds. You are not too old to wear your hair down, but you are rather tall. It would probably be more becoming to you If you adopted a more mature style and did it up. You need only comb it as you do now and make a simple knot in back. F. I. M. A girl 19, 5 feet 5 inches tall, should not weigh more than 125 pounds. You are a little bit overweight. If your hair is streaked it has possibly been sunburned this summer. Massage the scalp with oil the day before you shampoo it and massage the scalp with the fingers every few days. This will stimulate the roots of the hair and tend to bring it all to an even celor. FATTIE A woman of 27, who is 5 feet 3 inches tall, should nqt weigh more than 124 pounds. As you weigh 185, it will take you a long time to reduce. But of course it will be worth the trouble because you will look so much younger and feel so much better.

All inquiries addressed to Miss Forbes In care of the "Beauty Chats' department will be answered In these columns In their turn. This requires considerable time, however, owing to the great number received. So. If a personal or quicker reply is desired, a stamped and self-addressed envelope must be enclosed with the question.

A SWEETHEART AT THIRTY The Story of a Woman's Transformation BY MARION RUBINCAM

OUR NEW PLANS Synopsis of Preceding Chapters Knid Haines has been considered an aunt-of-all-work in the Haines family , by every one except her 17-year-old niece Violet. She is 35, looks 5ft, is hopelessly an old maid. She lives with her brother Jim. a farmer; his wife, Fsther, their daughter Laura, son James and Violet. Violet takes them out of the rut they had fallen into by insisting upon soing lo college in the city. Enid gives Vi her own tiny legacy to send her through, and pies to the city to take care of her. There is much comment at. home, because Mark Upjohn, a beau of Enid's youth, had returned to the village and bad come to soe her. In the city, the two suddenly discover I he possibilities life holds for them. Violet is much in love with Bud Pearsoll, from home. Chapter 31 Violet's collpge term began, and with her new work and the examinations she had to take to makp up for the deficiencies of our High School, the girl had little time for anything else. She

left early in the morning, after we had our egs; ?nd rolls and tea, promising to buy herself a nourishing lunch during the day. And she came home late in the afternoon, haying doni some of hpr work in the library on the collegf grounds. Then while I fixed supper, she (old of the day's adventures, and while we f te, I related all I had done. Mrs. Tupper at first did not likp us to have our meals' in this room, but after a time she agrred to it. "Nice people is always nice," she said, using her favorite explanation. "So long as the smell of cookin' doesn't go round the house, I guess it's all right. I had an actress once, here in this room. She asked to make foffee. Said she was a coffee fiend. I guess she was. She said she hardly ate a thing. They all say that. She weighed 300. I guess she was a cofee fiend. And a fried ham fiend. And a I'an cake fiend. i guess she must have cooked 10 course dinners here. So I had to forbid any cooking. In 1 tie rooms, that is. Smells so.-' Phe rattled on. making a pretence at dusting. And presently she began giving me the details of the last opernion she had, and then offered to let me wash clothes in her laundry. Violet and 1 had soon learned the mysterious ruses of the economical roomer, the petty, penny economies that soon heroine second nature. Even sn. our money went fast. In Ilenly Falls there was noihinu for me to spend money for: here I would hreak p bill and the change wouUi be gone before evening. And still we lived miserably in the disagreeable room. "The West Side is wonderful." I said to Violet one evening as I fixed a salad salads heins nourishing and healthy and needing no cooking, we ate many of them. "I'm going down there and hunt a flat." I went on. scooping salad dressing from a small jar, with a flat piece of wood for a spoon. "It would be nice to taste a homemade cake again, and have rare roast href for dinner." Her eyes looked wistfully into space. Violet was young

and had the healthy appetite of the country bred girl. So day after day I wandered up and

down the streets from Fourth Street south, and over aimost to the river. There were clean places, dirty places, some without light, but finally, one that I loved. It was the top floor of a funny, old-fashioned, three-story brick house. The ceilings were low, but. as those in the farmhouse had been low too, we liked that. The wall paper was atrocious, in design it was red roses large as cauliflowei heads but I (lhought I could paint the walls. The woodwork was dark brown but I was going to make i white. The main thing was that it gave us a small front room with two windows, a tiny bedroom next, with one window, and at last, a still smaller room with a wall thrown across to make a kitchenette on one sideband a bath on the other. .. The woman who owned the house Lad had her third floor done over this way to make an apartment of it, and she wanted $25 a month. I took it gladly, and even signed a lease the first time in my life I had ever put my name to a legal paper. "We'll write home and tell Mother to send us in some of the furniture from the garret," Violet, said. It took quite a bit. of money, of course, but by that time we had agreed that it was better to be comfortable for a short time, than miserable for a long one. We moved in with no furniture but two cots and some kitchen things bought from the ten-cent store. But Pearsoll, delighted to have us move to a real home, spent his evenings with us, and helped us tear paper from the walls and paint them a pale yellow-, and do over the woorwork into glossy white. Violet helped, too, but her eyes rarely left thp boy. Sometimes f worried over this. Violet had an intense nature, but fewknew of it. George Pearsoll was a charming lad. but I wondered whether he was old enough yet, or mature enough, to understand and to appreciate the sort of love that Violet quite evidently gave him. But I did not let myself worry over this problem yet. I was busy getting us settled. And in a few weeks we had a very charming place. Our two cots, with patchwork quilts thrown over them, and an old-fashioned bureau from the attic, a rocker and a rag rug furnished our bedroom. A large rag rug from home, a cot with my Paisley shawl for a cover, a really very good antique table from the garret, and some old-fashioned chairs made up our living room, also used as a dining room. As the winter went on :nd we learned more. We added Japanese prints and brass candle slicks and the other little details that cost little in themselves, but that makes a place artistic. New plans developed every dav. I began to feel a new power in myself. To-morrow I Am Awake.

Heart Problems )

Dear Mrs. Thompson : We" are girls 16 and 17 years of age and go to high school. We are from the best families and are considered good looking. We both are thoroughly disgusted with the boys of today. All they seem to go with girls for Is for a good time. We have one date with a fellow and then he does not ask for any more. We always have good times, but we aren't speedy and they seem to like that. Why is it, Mrs. Thompson? They say they don't want that kind after while, then why do they act so silly now? We both have particular friends whom we are interested in, but they both persist in going with the "other kind" of girls. We both are crazy about dancing and good times in a nice way. We have both tried to forget our friends but find it impossible. How can we girls go with these fellows and have a good

influence over them?. Thanks, so much. BLUE and BROWN EYES. You are doing right. Pay no attention to them and persist in doing right for it will have its reward, even if not at once. The time will come when the boys will see their error. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am 17 years old and have been in this coun

try six months. Needless to say I

love it. Since being here I have met a boy a little younger than myself. ' I have been seeing him steady for five months. His feelings toward me are different than mine toward him. He thinks of me as the one and only girl, while to me he is just a friend, no more than any other boy. I am with him so much that all the boys around town are under the impression that we are "steady." I know certain boys who would like a date, but being gentlemen, they decline from asking through their own wrong presumption. There is one boy who I know is anxious to meet me. For instance, he was speaking to an elderly lady recently, but the whole of the time he was looking and smiling at me, even though my other friend was there. I am very anxious to meet this boy. but I cannot see how. I am never alone and dare not go out alone , owing to the fact that wherever I go, no matter doy or night, an elderly man follows me. TROUBLED TRISC. I would advise you to let time guide your destiny. The fact that the young man looked at you and smiled is not an indication that he is eager for your company. He would not be shy about finding a way to meet you if he were really anxious to.

P I A HE Sonora is wonder-

I fully beautiful, a joy to JL listen to, with a tone that i9 sweet, true, clear and incomparably lovely. The Sonora is the leader in the phonograph world and has won its supremacy because of its matchless tonal value. At the Panama-Pacific Exposition "the only jury which 'heard and tested all of the phonographs exhibited recommended that the Sonora be given a marking for tone quality higher than that given to any other phonograph or talking machine." Plays all records The Sonora plays all makes of disc records perfectly without extra attachments. Long-running motor The splendid design and construction of the Sonora motor is of great importance and the Sonora is famous for this extra-long-running, silent, powerful motor. Tone modulator The tone of the Sonora is regulated at the sound source, the correct place, and only the volume and not the quality of the tone is altered. Superb design The Sonora is famous for its "bulge" design lines (made by a patented process) and these curved lines are found only in the finest examples of woodworkers' art. Automatic stop The Sonora automatic stop is carefully designed, is effective in operation, and is decidedly convenient. Motor meter The Sonora is the only instrument equipped with a motormeter which tells how many more records can be played before rewinding is necessary. (Models Invincible and Supreme.) When you hear the Sonora, its magnificent tone and its valuable features of construction will instantly convince you that it is unequalled. Superb standard upright and period models are now available.
