I have spoken before, I think, of BEAUTY CHATS Caloric Values. In compiling tables of caloric values 1 find it practically impossibie to work it the caloric value of the hors @'oeuvre portion of the menu. So many of the appetizing titbits are eombined with oil, while mayonnaise is used so lavishly on eggs and vege- table salad, that all I can tell you 1s to avoid hors d'oeuvre if you wish to reduce. Even the apparently harm- less sandine is packed in ofl, and one @essertspoonful of oil has a caloric walve of 100! Three olives are 50 calories; a table- ®poonful of mayonnaise, which is the Jeast amount that ever goes on half of @& hard boiled egg and which looks so tempting on a plate of hors d'ocuvre, equals another 100 calories: while the half egg itsell is about 40, Then when you consider that hors dceuvre is oply to give you ‘hn aypa!;]eylor a ean’ see how rapidly your ealories wil go up.

'AR DOROTHY DIX: T am a man of 45. beautiful and talented woman about my own age. Some years ago I met a I fell violently in love with her and have reason to think she cared for me, but a miserable bashfulness has prevented me from ever having spoken to her of my feelings. I have never even taken her anywhere, although I should be very proud to do so. Because of this, her manner has completely changed toward me. To this @ay I am petrified whenever I see her coming, and my heart beats like a trip-hammer and my speech fails me. What can I do? Answer: You certainly cannot be ‘SORRY HAL. afflicted with pen-paralysis as well as dumbness, 8o if you can’t summon up enough courage to tell the lady of your love, for heaven's sake, write it to he Of course, proposing by letter is a makes every woman want to say ‘“no™ cold, fish-blooded way of doing it that because it robs her of the thrill that comes but once in a lifetime, and takes the kick out of her great moment. Still, it will do in an emergency, and it is better to have the question popped by mail than not to have it popped at all. 8o write and ask the lady to marry you, concoct a love letter, do it by wire. That's all that really counts, anyw: reflection that, once you have nerved nd if you haven't the nerve to Telegraph her the 10 important words. And comfort yourself with the ourself to take the plunge, the worst is over, and ail the balance is easy swimming. You can't wonder that the lady’s attitude toward you has changed, and that she must regard you as a very faint-hearted lover. Evidently she has waited for you until she is worn out, and her patience is exhausted and her nerves reduced to a frazle. | With ' real stone. I could weep for her when I think how many times she has led you up to the proposing point and you have turned and run aw you were tongu million times, v from it, how many openings she has made for you to speak and She must have felt like batting you over the head a But she Was silly herself not to do the proposing when she saw that you were too bashful to do it.

DEAR MISS DIX: Iam a young girl, 16 years of age, and T am beginning to realize that a girl's happiness depends upon her reputation. Will please tell me a few things that will ruln a girl's good name? PE( o Answer: It ruins a girl's reputation to go with a wild crowd. “‘Birds of a feather flock together,” says the old proverb, and a girl is judged by the company she keeps. It ruins a girl's good name to keep unseemly hours and to roll home with the milkman. It ruins her good name to drink and pet and neck and sit about in parked cars with boys. Tt ruins a girl's good name to meet boys on the street instead of receiving them in her own home. It ruins a girl's good name for her to “pick up'” men, and to go riding with strange men in automobiles. * It ruins a girl's reputation to accept the attentions of married men. ruins a girl's reputation to dress immodestly, to dance vulgarly, and to be loud and boisterous in her conversation. y (Copyright, 1928.) It DOROTHY DIX. PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BY WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Hokum Bunkum About Pores. A pants manufacturer contributes this letter: Dear Doc: I am a constant reader of your column and believe a good deal although not all of what you advo- cate. Knowing your views on the sub- ject of pores, I thought you would be interested in the clipping which 1s inclosed. This seems to be in direct con- tradiction to vour teaching, and I shall look for your comment in your column. Yours very truly, ARMAND. The clipping Is an item entitled “Skin Forms Third Lung.” It solemn- ly assures the reader that the skin is even more important as a purifying agent of the body than are the two lungs within the body. After citing some figures which few readers will venture tq challenge, such as the esti- mate that the skin of a normal adult has 7,000,000 pores, which. if placed end to end, would extend item goes on to tell the g that each of these 7,000,000 pores is a “window to which blood flows, emp- ties its waste matter and takes in oxygen from the air. As the fellow who gave out all this startling information warms up to his work he becomes more and more im- aginative and less and less regardful far anatomy and physiology. Shucks, he knows as well’ as I do that the average pants manufacturer has never studied human anatomy or hu- man physiology and therefore, like most other laymen, will probably swallow any yarns one pleases to hand him, “If you were to cover your body with thick paint or varnisl this re. markable item winds up, “and so to close all the pores, death would follow quickly.” Several other readers have sent the same item or the original from which it was taken, namely, a newspaper contribution and requested, urged or advised me to start a controversy about it. Life is too short for that. Let the writer take on the anatomists and physiologists if they care to take no- tice of his astonishing teachings. There are people who imagine that a coat of paint or varnish would do just what this self-styled “doctor” says it will. If any one who harbors such a childish fancy will set a defi- nite time within reason for the fatal effect, and put up a reasonable bond or wager on the effect. I'll submit my body to a coat of any kind of paint or varnish within reason, provided only that my one big pore, under my nose, be left uncovered, and suitable warmth be available for me ile the paint or varnish is doing its “deadly” work. Now let the plausible fellows who take advantage of popular ignorance of anatomy and physiology to mar- ket their ridiculous wares either back up their fool notions or lay off the nonsense about the ‘‘pores. Once more I would remind readers who want the truth that the human skin excretes practically nothing but salt and water, and the purpose of the sweat is solely to regulate the body temperature, and there is not o tilla of scientific evidence that any- thing, neither air, water, gas, oil, foods, medicine or poison, is ever taken in through the “pores.

OUR CI’IILDREN By Angelo Patri “I Want.” Dear Children: Please stop saying “I want.” Your father and mother are work-~ ing hard to make you comfortable, to keep you in school, to give you hape piness as far as lies in their power. No matter what you get, no matter how much you have, the very next thing you see you want. g Don't you know that you don't want those things at all? "And don't you know that each time you say you want something that your parents cannot buy for you, you make them feel bad. Want means lack. Something is missing. Something Is needed. As you use the word it means that your greedy eyes have seen something and your greedy stomach or mind has reached out for it, although the lack of it did not make you suffer in any way. You see I am trylng to show you that if you want something that you do not need you are heing greedy and selfish, You are forcing your tather to work harder, your mother to save harder, your brothers and sisters selves more, just for the sa) groody nelt.
