You are constantly handing out never-failing recipes which enable gitls to land their men. You render us helpless by revealing our weak points. Now, be a spert and tell us how we may successfully pursue our dream girls. Tell us what lines they fall for and explain their likes and dislikes, | BRUTIS, H HERMAN. A AND 5 Amwer—?ms are so easily pleased, as you will see if you observe the kind of boys they Tfall for, that it seems a waste of effort to give young men any pointers about how to be winners with the fair sex. Practically all that a boy has to do is to throw the handkerchief and the girls will scramble for it. So far as dates and love making and marrying are concerned, men get all the breaks. | As for asking' what kind of boys girls like, I can answer that in two words: Any kind. Boys pass up a homely girl. They won’t take a girl out if she isn't 8 good dresser and doesn’t make other boys rubber. They will not ask one to | dance unless she is a peachy dancer. They will avoid a girl who is dull and | heavy and hard to talk to. i Girls aren't so choosy. A boy may be fat and dumpy and have freckles and carroty hair and they will fall in love with him and think him a fairy prince. A boy’s clothes may look as if his worst enemy bought them for X but that will not keep girls from going out with him and flaunting him in their friends’ faces if he is pleasant and agreeable, A boy may trample a girl's feet into a pulp and ruin her new satin slippers at a ball, but she would rather suffer martyrdom with him ghan sit on the side lines. And a girl will even put up with a fool who bores her to tears rather than not have any date at all. It is easy enough to please girls in general, but to pl requires a study of her individual tastes, and that is easy ent never chary about talking of themselves and their likes and hopes and dreams and irations. But yol must, of course, vary your technique to suit the ar girl you are trying to attract. ‘There is, for instance, the vain girl who wants to be flattered continually and who will listen by the hour while you tell her how beautiful she is and how her eyes are like stars and what a Cupid’s bow her mouth is and how slender and graceful her figure 1§ and how there is something different about her from any other girl in the woléd. a particular girl h, since girls are | ‘Then there is the soulful girl who craves to be an inspiring influence in a man's life. She is just a born uplifter with a reform complex. Tell her about all the sins that you ever committed or are contemplating committ When | you get the time and money, and impress on her that but for her resi ing power over you you would go to the dogs. ‘Then there are the sporty girls who try to make imitation men of them- selves. They are putting up a bluff. They are trying to act as if they were your kid brother because they are afraid that they haven't enough charm as women to get by. Pretending that they want you to treat them as men chums is just their defense mechanism. Don't be taken in by this. The last thing in the world they really desire is to have you regard them as fellow men to whom you can confide how much in love you are with some other girl. They don't really want you to think of them as belonging to your own sex. They are almost pathetically anxious to be made love to. ‘ Then there is the business girl who is always boasting that she can stand on her own feet and that she is married to her job and that she wouldn’t give up her pay envelope for any man.

OUR CHILDREN BY ANGELO PATRL Health is the foundation of all happi- ness.. Upon it depends the mental at- titudes of the human being who is striving to keep his place in this world. ‘Those mental attitdues reflect them- selves in the conduct, in every action.

Public nursing, clinics, mothers’ clubs, earnest physi- clans, enlightened boards of education, boards of health, all contribute to the education of the mothers and fathers so that our children are being well cared for physically. But the mental side of the child is not so well guarded. People do not know so much about that and a great deal of what they have heard is not as dependable as it might be. The new phrases—complexes, conditioned emotions, and the like belong to the experts, not to everybody who chooses to be modern. No child should be Home in Good Taste JBY SARA HILAND.

It you want €5 get down to the facts about a living personality, study his handwriting under pressure for time. Hurriedly written messages are often full of meaning. But how are you to know when one has written hurriedly? When a person writes hurriedly, he writes with heavy strokes, and the first part of a word is always more legible than the last part. If he is a habitual slant writer, slant increases. The t-bars extend far to the right. The pe- riods look like commas. The i's are dotted too far to the right. The lines tend to slant upward, and the hand margin keeps . There is a tendency to crowd a lot of writing at the bottom of the page in- stead of taking time to turn it. There is also a tendehcy to change the style if the message is a long one. This means that early habits as well as their later modifications are cropping up. And when they crop out, it means that your subject is exposing an un- usually large section of If in try- to express what he has in mind. pid writing reveals one’s true na- ture because it brings out one's natu- ral gestures. One's personality is scat- tered all over the page. The compli- cated rules o:zrfnm can be ap- plied to such ting with great success. To all this you should add a study of the writer's statements. What one says under pressure is just as impor- tant as the form of one’s expression in t. Every one tends to ex: te, to_philosophize, to pronounce settled convictions, when he writes hurriedly.

The best way to keep our children mentally fit is to_allow them to live simple, peaceful, happy lives. Easier said than done, but it can be done, if we mean it shall be done. We can, far more of us than do, rear our children in the suburbs rather than the city. We can even get into the open country if we make a great effort. That immedi- ately removes a load from the child’s mind. Noise and dirt and overstimula- lon many sorts are eliminated. Clean, fresh air, a fine play place, healthy companionship, happler asso- clations, become possible, at least to a greater extent than in a crowded city. ‘The family attitude is always in the control of the parents. If they decide that for the child’s mental health the atmosphere shall be harmonious, that no bickering, no scolding, no confusion, is to be known in the home, the chil- dren will stand a good chance of being healthy-minded.
