my mind. When I go to work in
the morning I feel perfectly all
right but after I have been there
a while I start to lose confidence
and imagine the others are laugh
ing at me and making fun of
me for being so dumb.
Things have grown so bad, that
I can't talk to the other men or
boys or mix with them, Don't
think lam plain stupid, Miss Grey.
The few I know real well never
make me feel self-conscious, but
I am at a loss when I am with
the ones I am not well-acquainted
with,
Please give me your advice,
PROBLEM,
You have allowed a minor an
noyance to become a major one.
Because you have gone to work
in a noisy place and cannot get
used to concentrating on the
voices of your co-workers you
imagine they think you are dumb,
That is foolish, If you just for
get it and try to hear what thcyi
have to say you will find that
the time will come when you can
ignore the noise about you and
hear your fellow workers distinct
ly. When you do this you will find
your self-confidence returning, for
nothing can so rob a person of his
poise as the feeling that he ap
pears stupid to others,
When I first went to work, I
had to do typing in a very noisy
office. There were at least 30 other
typewriters going in the same
room, and many telephones that
were in constant use. When I
found that I, too, had to do tele
phone work as well as tpying I
was terror stricken, I was sure
I could never hear a word in all
that din, and at first I couldn't.
Many times I was cold with fear
when I would hang up the tele
phone, knowing I had not taken
a message correctly. But I hung
on and finally got to the stage
where the noise about me became
an accepted thing to which I
could close my ears while I took
my telephone calls.
We can all get used to nolse.
The thing we can't do is to let it
80 upset our nerves that it para
lyzes our power of control,
You can overcome your diffi
culty. Just keep trying and don't
let your imagination defeat your
common sense.

Thanksgiving
Dear Miss Grey: Now that
Thanksgiving approaches may I
suggest to the women of this coun
try that they have much to be
thankful for?
They can be thankful that they
are going to picture shows and
football games with their men and
boys, instead of seeing them ofll
to war,
They can be thankful that thelri
men have work and are able to
provide for them, .
They can be thankful for a gov
ernment that is the finest in the |
world, i
They ean be thankful for com
fortable homes,
They can be thankful to know
that their biggest clothes prob-l
lems can be solved by modern
m—mmuhoydon'thnvotol
ook to air shelters for covering.
And above all—they should be
thankful that their ancestors had
the good sense to choose to be
Americans, 0. L.

The Lady Is Reckless
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Within 10 minutes after his nar
row escape from death, Brock had
a new tire on the front wheel of
his car, replacing the one torn by
& bullet and was dashing for the
Park hotel.
Jill wasn't in her room when he
rang, and he was half frantic with
fear when the desk clerk said he
thought she'd gone out to a movie
by herself.
~ The nearest theater was two
‘blocks away, and taking a chance,
he walked quickly in that direc
tion, A few hundred feet from the
theater entrance he saw Jill ap
proaching, and stopped and waited
for her.
“Thank goodness, you're all
right!” he exclaimed.
“All right?” the girl demanded.
“Why shouldn't I be?”
Taking her arm, he walked with
her back to the hotel and quickly
explained that she was in danger
-real danger.
Cliff Road
“T know I am, and if they're
after me, they're probably after
you, too,” he said. He told her of
the bullet fired into his tire on
the cliff road as he was speeding
}home.
“If I'd been going just a bit
ilnur, or bhadn't been driving
‘carefully, I'd gone over the bluff
into the river, sure,” he said.
~ "Oh, Brock,” she cried, “what in
the world's the matter? What
have you done, why should any
one try to take your life?”
- “Wait till we get to the hotel,”
he sald, “and I'll tell you all about
lLi.
He found a snug spot in the
lobby far from any doors or win
dows, and settled down to tell Jill
what had happened.
Jig Is Up
“Fenwick has discovered whe I
am,” he said, “so the jig is up, so
far as I am concerned. My use-

\tulnm here is just about finished.”
~ The girl looked at him in amaze
ment.
“Why, what do you mean?
What bhave you to do with Fen
wick? What do you mean by the
11‘ ’. up?'l
“My real name is Bob Brock,
Jill,” he explained. “I'm not in
the investment business. I'm a
newspaper reporter for the Chi
cago Star. My boss is a close
friend of Judge Gordon here, and
‘when Gordon made him a proposi
tion to borrow me for a secret
investigation of affairs in Rawl
ton, we both agreed. That's my
meat, digging into hidden, crooked
messes. I've cleaned up quite a
few of them in the last couple of
years, and I thought that this
would be a cinch.”
“You're name is Bob Brock—
not Brock Landis?”
“Yes, you've been calling me by
my last name just like the Fen
wicks called you Talbot when you
‘worked for them. So that gives us
that much in common.”
He laughed, and then went on.
“You know Fenwick believes you've
been working with me, that get
ting the job in his house was part
of my scheme to get something on
him.”
“Why, that's silly, of course.”
“Sure, we know it is, but he
doesn't and I'm afraid you're in
danger, too. 1f someone already
has tried to bump me off it's a
pretty good sign that they'll stop
at nothing to get rid of me and
you, too, probably.”
Be Careful
“Oh, Brock, Bob, I do want you
to be careful.”
“You bet your life I'll be care
ful. I don't hanker to have some
one put a bullet through me, or
pull any other stunts like that.
But I'm worried about you. I
want you to be very careful.”
“Have you enough on Fenwick
to take any action yet?" the girl
wanted to know, .
“I have a mass of stuff, most of
it pretty flimsy, I'll admit. He's a
clever man.
“He's been in power for years,
and has been covering up his
tracks all that time. You know
yourself how slicl: he is. Anyone
who could put over the deal he
did on your uncle, must be pretty

“Why don't you leave town,
then ?” she suggested. *“Why stay
around here if your life is in dan
ger and you haven't a chance to
get much more on Fenwick ?”
“I hate to give up, once I start
on a job he confessed. “I've been
working here for nearly six months
and everywhere I've turned, I've
bumped against a stone wall
There is one chance, though, one
final chance to lay Peter Fenwick
by the heels.”
“What is it? What do you

Confession

mind for a moment. She wonder

Starvation Diets
Are Great Mistake
Rigid, starvation diets are a
great mistake, as any doctor or
‘reputable exercise salon will agree.
‘The smart woman manages to lose
‘a few pounds without endangering
her heaith for a second, or, for that
'matter, without being continually
hungry or causing herself actual
discomforts or boredom,
She simply eats minimum
‘amounts of the high-caloried, rich
foods but adequate quantities of
‘the low-caloried, more or less non
fattening ones. She doesn’t elimi
nate any particular type of food.
She just consumes a little less of
everything at each meal.
For instance, she stops induilg
ing in second helpings. When she
‘has had one medium-sized portion
of everything on the menu, she
stops eating. And that is that. If
;lhe gets hungry between meals,
she nibbles fruit or celery, raw
‘tomat,oel, carrots or cabbage, in
iltoad of pastry or sweets,
~ If she feels that she must go
on a diet, she knows that the light
‘breakfast, light lunch and regular
dinner diet is a good one to follow.
MAINTAIN NEW WEIGHT
BY CASUAL EXERCISE
This allows for fruit, one slice
of lightly buttered tiast and a hot
beverage for the first meal of the
day; a light soup or vegetable
juice, a large green salad with
precious little dressing, one slice
of toast and a beverage for lunch.
For dinner, one portion of every
thing on the menu. No second
helpings, of course, and no dessert
at all until salad has been eaten.
Only fruit is allowed between
meals or before going to bed.
Once she has lost the desired
amount of weight, she tries to get
a little more exercise each day.
She walks to market a couple of
times a week, instead of driving
the car or taking a bus. Or she
finds time to do a few special waist
line exercises every other day. Ex
ercise keeps the lost weight from
reappearing all too quickly, of
course,
She'll be the best-dressed girl of

able coat-style frock by Anne
Adams. Quick as a hop, skip,
jump to stitch up is Pattern 4246,
for it's made on easy princess
lines. The neckline crosses over to
the side-front buttoning, and you
might sew a row of buttons op
posite for a snappy, double-breast

Dance During Holidays
Dear Mrs. Post: We want to
give a party during the holidays
for our young daughter. That is,
I mean a real party, inviting about
a hundred young people. Here
tofore, she has had small parties
at home but she has invited her
own guests. This will be a dance;
we are renting a ballroom in &
local club, and hiring a small or
chestra. The invitations present
the first major problem. Our
daughter would like each boy to
stop for a girl and bring her to
the dance, and we wonder how
this information can be given on
the invitations, and what kind of
invitations should be sent.
Answer: If 1 were you I would
send formally engraved invita
tions. Even those that are printed
to simulate engraving would be
‘entirely suitable. The wording:
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jones
Miss Alice Jones
request the pleasure of
(name written in) 's
company at a small dance

twentieth of December

If each boy is to be expected to
stop for a girl, the only way to
arrange for this is to enclose your
visiting card and on that write,
“Will you please stop for Kath
erine Blake?” A different name
would of course be written on each
card.

Maid of Honor in Wedding Dress
Dear Mrs, Post: My two sisters
are to be my only wedding at
tendants. I am wearing bride's
clothes—satin, very simply made
—and am wearing a plain tulle
veil. My older sister is married,
and as her husband is earning
very little, she has suggested that
I let her wear her white wedding
dress. This is just a year or so
old and she has worn it only one
time since her wedding. However,
the dress is white-net over satin.
If she may wear this dress, then
what do you suggest that my
younger, unmarried sister wear?
Answer: A matron of honor in
her wedding dress would certainly
be a very detracting figure—very
unfair to you., She might perhaps
take the train off and change the
appearance of the dress by put
ting colored flowers on it. But it
would be best if she could have it
dyed a pale color, As a matter
of fact, your two sisters should be
dressed exactly alike. Couldn't
they get simple clothes, which
they would find useful after
wards? They probably have to
have some afternoon or semi
evening dresses for this winter,
One can get such lovely things for
so very little money today, it is
to be hoped they can add to the
beauty of your wedding and not
detract from it. Can't they?
