Friendless Woman Can Only Put Blame—On Herself, Says Writer By RUTH MILEETT Girls who write letters complain ing that they have few friends or none at all always try to justif.' themselves. Thty say their homes aren’t as good as the homes of the othe-, more popular, young people in town. Or they say they can’t afford nice clothes. Or they say that they were not able to go to college—and that ac counts for their lack of social sue c^ss. The first thing that any girl who wants to make more friends than she has should do is look down her nose at the alibi she has been feed ing herself—no matter what it is. Because if she is laying the olame on something outside herself, she isn’t hitting at the real cause for her lack of friends at all. Not having money or living 'n the wrong part of town may keep a girl from being friends with a few people, but if she is interested only in that few, she is as snobbish as they. She doesn't really want friends—she wants social recogni tion. Few people care whether or not anyone has gone to college if the person speaks good English, 1 r.o what is going on in the world, and reads good books instead of trash or no books at all. DISCARD ALIBIS AND MAKE FRIENDS No, none of the alibis is any good. The two questions the girl wlfo lack’ friends should ask herself are. Have I made the most of the looks and mind I was given? Have I actually liked other , -ople and been rebuffed when I showed it, or have I been trying all along to impress people I secretly felt were above me? Any girl can have friends, as many as she wants, and good friends. But not until she is honest with herself. Mrs. D. McP.

One of the tunes which will go down through the ages is "Hail, Hail, the Gang’s All Here.” There isn’t a living being in the country who hasn't heard or at one time sung those joyous words and music. Another piece which "belongs to the ages” is “The Pirate King.” A scene which should ring in the head for a week afterwards is the introduction which Maj'or General Stanley, "the model of a modern major general,” givey himself. Another equally comic piece of Gilbert and Sullivan foolishness, which has made generations laugh, is the discovery that the hero, a likely lad named Fredric who was apprenticed to a gang of pirates by mistake, is only “five years and one-quarter years old.” For sheer beauty and color and lilting music the shov the way Al bert Brown, choral director of N. H. H. S., has handled the book in rehearsals w'ill make it a real treat for all grammar and high school students, as well as adults. Assisting Director Brown in his work is Mrs- J. W. Grise who re poned yesterday that the costumes for the principals arrived from New York yesterday. Miss Ruth Davis, another member of the high school faculty, is among the coaches. With Glenward Bloome making the scenery, the show' is slated to give the 1,500 or 2,000 people ex pected to attend it the thrill of a lifetime. Local Naval Recruiting Office Is Given Quota F. L.

FRIDAY” MARKS CAROLINA THEATRE BILL With Cary Grant and Rosaiind Russell in one of the maddest, mer riest whirlwinds of a romance ever brought-to the screen, “His Girl Fri day,” opened yesterday at the Caro lina theatre. A Howard Hawks' pro duction, with Ralph Bellamy head ing a splendid supporting cast, “His Girl Friday” rates all the encomiums in the lexicon of a critic. It's gay, it’s delightful, it’s fast and furious, it’s wild and witty and outrageously racy. It sparkles, and it possesses as well, an undertone of tragedy which finds expression chiefly in the swift paced action of the well-knit plot. Miss Russell, the stunning spitfire of "The Women,” is the central point of the unique triangle whose story is told in "His Girl Friday.” Grant and Bellamy, that sensational come dy team of "The Awful Truth,” are reunited in the current film, again as embattled suitors for a lady’s hand. Grant, of course, wins—but then he doesn’t play fair! Artie Shaw and his band entertain on the short program and there is a Pictorial Novelty, as well as the News reel. “CAT AND THE CANARY” IS OFFERED AT ROYAL A spook-and-spoof picture which provides that gagging screen and radio comedian, Bob Hope, with the funniest material he has ever had was presented to local audiences for the first time yesterday at the Royal theatre. It’s production of “The Cat and the Canary,” starring Paulette Goddard with Bob, and featuring a host of players admirably suited to the alternately gay and chill-inspir ing moods of the picture. Among them are such favorites as Johr Beal, Douglas Montgomery, Gale Sondergaard, Elizabeth patte,.s and George Zucco. i011 In addition to the talent? 0f Hp and Miss Goddard—thev mr, , , . ,. • - irivobi ed in romantic as well as eerie d ings, incidentally—the picture ■°' much to recommend ii.

It is based on the fact that head aches, nervousness, cramp-like pain are often symptoms of functional dysmenorrhea due to malnutrition. Help for this condition so often follows the use of CARDUI, be cause it usually increases the ap petite and the flow of gastric juice; thus aids digestion and helps build physical resistance. Usual result is less periodic distress. i Many who take CARDUI a few days before and during "the time" have found this also helps ease periodic discomfort. Women have used CARDUI for more than il fears! Adv, I HAD THE I * SPOTLIGHT JITTERS! Whenever we have “Amateur Night” in our town, everybody tries for a chance! I practiced my dance for weeks. But when the big moment came, it proved to be one of my “difficult days.” And I always chafe so badly, I was afraid I just couldn’t dance. So . . . I was going to give up the whole idea, when my danc ing teacher came to the rescue. “Little goose," she laughed, “wait till I get you some Miracle Modess. It now has ‘Moisture Zoning’—a wonderful new feature that acts to direct moisture inside the pad, keeping sides dry and comfortable longer than ever beforel" g' ' Then she rounded up some Modess and showed me why Modess is softer, too. “Look,” she said, as she opened a pad. “Modess is entirely different from layer type napkins—it’s made of fluff. And its moisture resistant backing guards against accidents. So go ahead and dance with a light heart.” Well...
