There wasn't anything wrong with the young eligible who proposed marriage to this girl. But still she had 10 say “no” to his proposal of marriage. There was no doubt about his character, his love, or his ability to make a fine husband and father. But she had to refuse him For her part, she loved him as much as the average girl loves the man she {opposed to marriage and the home. But something stood in the way of that fine match, It was the job. She had that and. much as she wanted a husband, she'felt that she had to stick to the boss. It wasn't because of any sentimental re- gard for her employer, whom she seldom saw.” It was just that he was the boss. It was a case of house against house, the business house versus the suburban cottage, and the big concrete building put it all over the bungalow. For there was something about the job that wasn't to be found in marriage. This fatal “something” was nothing clse than freedom. The firm, the b the job gave her this which her husbal could not supply. It was her will at war with her heart, and her will won.

In all the annals of recorded time there is not one case in which on thing has been gained or one love preserved by yielding to the sin of jealousy, but any lawyer can tell of instance after instance where homes have been wrecked and lives blighted by it. i “Men have written descriptions of the horrors of war, the ruin wrought by | pestilence and the wretchedness of slaves, but no one has ever® adequately ! portrayed the ruin wrought by jealousy.

Two years ago my father | and mother passed away. leaving me the sole support of a little brother of 10. He is very talented and I feel that I must continue his violin lessons at | any cost. A wealthy young man, who is everything that is good and kind. has been helping us ahd wants to marry me. If I married him I could give my little | brother the advantages he should have, but I am in love Wwith a poor boy and | feel that it would break my heart to give him up to marry the rich man. What | is my duty in the matter? SHERON. | . Answer: In old-fashioned novels and melodramas it was held to be a noble | and a herofc thing for a young girl to sacrifice herself for her family and marry a man she loathed in order to pay off the mortgage on the old homestead, or to Fortunately, in these practical days we look at the matter from a saner standpoint and we see nothing fine and altruistic in a girl wrecking three lives | for the sake of some possible benefit to her family. For that is what she does if | love and to whom she can never possibly be a good wife. Look at you in this light. T Consider the wrong you will do yourself. Consider the violence that you | he knew your heart belonged to another man. Consider the long, sodden years | of misery you will have to live, dragging through a marriage that is nothing | but an endurance test. 4 Consider the young man who loves you and whom you love, who will have his faith in women wrecked, his life embittered, his ambitions slowed down by | your leaving him for a richer man. . Consider the rich young man who has been so kind to you and who certainly deserves something better at your hands than just to be turned into a cash register for you to punch for your brother. It is a poor return for his goodness to you to give him a cold and unloving wife who can never make him happy. | As for the little brother, why sacrifice three lives for one? Is it any more | important that he shouid be happy and successful than that you and the two men should be? Why should three lives be ruined that he should learn to play | If he is a great genius the way will be opened for him. It he has only mediocre talent it isn't worth breaking your heart over, There is nothing that we exaggerate more than children's ability.

He has always had what he wanted and I'm afraid he will get despondent and do something he shouldn't if he doesn't get it. What should I do? A TROUBLED MOTHER. Answer: Absolutely refuse to go on his note or to give him a cent. Let him be badgered by bill collectors and lie awake wondering how he is going to That is the only way he will ever find out the value of money and the necessity for living within his income. 2 . T Also, it will not be fair to the other children, who are not yet self-supporting, to deprive them of the things they need in order to give the money to this big, husky lad who is perfectly capable of taking care of himself. Your son has come to the parting of the ways and on your having enough backbone to refuse to give him money now. no matter how he pleads or what he threatens to do, will depend his whole future, So buck up and snap your purse shut.

Not 'so many years ago psychologists of high reputation were writing articles and books to show that all the common phobias (obsessional fears) were hang- overs of what they called the primitive mind. If, for example, a person dreaded go- ing ‘into a small room, a compartment of a sleeping car, a closet, or any small inclosure, these psychologists observed that, the person was the unfortunate possessor of claustrophobia. Translated into common words, he had a fear of inclosed places. Not every one has this fear. very many do. Is this fear of inclosed places an in- stinct? Or is it a habit? Are those who have it born that way? Or did they acquire it? The older psychologists said it was an instinct. ‘They account for claustro- phobia as a vestige of a fear which our ancient ancestors often experienced. But FEATURES.

These reacti n patterns took the form of anxieties whicn were gradually laid down in their nervous systems. and passed on from generation to gener- ation as real inherited tra Then they reason that since we are their descendants, we have inherited this old fear along with everything else we_owe to the race For some of us today this claustro- phopiac inheritance is very weak.

I have been hav- | ing hot treatments once a month for three years, but do not feel they have helped me. I decided to do something about. this condition myself, so now I massage my scalp with hot olive oil twice a week and work it out once | a week. My hair still comes out, !but my scalp feels better now. Am I | doing the right thing?—R. L. M. | Answer—I think you have solved your i problem very well. If it brings results, ! follow it. I have a suggestion for you. however, that will obviate the necessity | of washing your hair as often as once a week. Rub a very little vaseline into your scalp every other night. Lubricate your scalp all over but do not oil yourl hair. Shampoo your hair every two weeks. The night before the shampoo apply warm oil to your scalp and to | the full length of your hair. Steam | it in with warm towels and leave on | overnight. Wash your hair next morn- i ing. As a final rinse, use a pint of | water mixed with one tablespoon of ‘olive oil. 14 LEEDS. Finger Waving, Bleaching. Dear Miss Leeds—(1)How can I fin- |ger wave my hair. which is very straight? Does a finger wave look like {a marcel? How long will it stay in? 1 (2) How can I bleach the hair on my iarms and legs? | Answer—(1) I do not think that | very straight, stiff hair can be success- | fully finger waved. A wave can be put {in such hair provided plenty of sticky curling fluid is used, but the effect |is likely to be stiff and the wave will not stay in long. In naturally wavy | hair a finger wave should stay in at | teast a week, possibly two. A finger wave does not give the same effect as | a marcel, but each is pretty in its own. 1 Go to a beauty shop for the wave. A marcel would probably be more success- ful in your type of hair. (2)Use perox- |ide with a few drops of ammonia in {it. For bleaching purposes use the ! strong peroxide (at least 15 volumes) | land the ammonia sold in drug stores. I not. household ammonia. Look on the | peroxide bottle and note the statement | regarding the number of volumes be- fore buying. Weak peroxide will not bleach the hairs. Apply the bleach once a day or every other day. LOIS LEEDS. Warts, Pimples, Freckles. Dear Miss Leeds—I have two small warts on my right hand and I have a few pimples and freckles on my face. How can I remove them? I am 15 years old, 5 feet 3 inches tall and weigh 94 pounds. NANCY ANN. Answer—Sometimes small warts on the hands will disappear if you apply lemon .juice to them several times a day for several days. Do not try any- | | | thing more drastic. If the w: inot go away after this simplc treat- | ment. have a doctor remove them for (you if he thinks it advisable. They | will probably leave you of their own ac= |cord in time. Pimples are often due to | eating too much candy, rich pastries |and heavy fried foods, or to constipa- |tion. Make sure that your digestive ‘trnct is in order and keep your skinm very clean by using plenty of warm water and soap to cleanse it at bed- time. Wash face and body daily. You might try a commercial freckle lotion or cream to fade the freckles. It is |not always. possible to remove these blemishes entirely. Protect your skin with a powder base and face powder before going out in the sun and wear a hat that shades your face. You are 21 pounds underweight and should try to build yourself up.
