They write of blushing, getting all mixed up when they talk to strangers and even to old acquaintances, or of many other ways in which they feel and act miserable when with people.

They tell of sitting and brooding over their failures to be SOcially comfortable. Some say their sufferings increase AS they consider how carefree and gay others of their age can While teachers, close friends and family associates might help these sufferers by building them up to feel more while, bringing out the best in them, about all I can say as I write these unhappy souls is, "You can help yourself." News modern about WOMEN MORNING Friday, Dec. 31 Page 7 If you are one of them, first get it out of your head that you the only person in the world with this problem. Thou.are sands of others are like you. Quit pitying yourself SO much and taking yourself so seriously.

When you find yourself dwelling on your social failures, take yourself by the scruff of the neck, as it were, and make yourself go over your own successes and personal resources. Instead of keeping away from people, discipline yourself to go where others are. Take your feelings off your sleeve. Expect some people to be cruel. Be too proud to let them hurt you.

Make yourself listen: attentively to what others, say, enjoying what you with your eyes and ears. Lose yourself in 44 Film Lines Go Simple You'll Dress Like Movie Queen (Because Movie Queen Will Dress Like You) HOLLYWOOD-(P)-The average American woman is going to look a lot more like a movie star during 1944, thanks to the OPA, which is about the only thing the OPA ever has been thanked for. That's on the authority of Edith Head, chief fashion designer at Paramount. For years, Miss Head said today, fashion designers have been seeing who could pile the most ruffles, tucks and what not on feminine movie costumes. But the OPA has been looking fishily at such doings, and during the next 12 months, she declares, the movie queen will dress just as you do.

Miss Head listed these essentials: One all-season suit, with a flock of sweaters and blouses and at least three hats, so you can switch them around and make them look like a lot of outfits. One basic dress, to be worn with the above-listed hats, separately of course. One topcoat. Shoes. Whatever the OPA will let you buy.

HERE'S YOUR HOROSCOPE FOR TODAY ASTRAL indications are not very encouraging or THE propitious for a felicitous or pleasant passing of the old year. There are several signs of reckless, ungoverned, irregular and activities possibly imdangerous, physical, emotional as well as financial and social security. Accident, loss, unpleasant and sensational adventures are probable, unless rigid brakes be put on all forms of celebration and conventional behavior. Sudden events and duplicity may mark domestic or romantic affairs which may be beset by illicit intrigue, strife and other regrets. Those whose birthday it is may have a year of moderate success if they will hew to the line, especially with the encouragement and solid support of elders, employers or others in standing.

But there is much menace from the unusual, irregular and dangerous both in business and private affairs, with many hazards to reputation, social and physical safety. Sudden illness, accidents, estrangements and reversals are shown, with particular stress from unconventional, subtle, and sinister machinations, the emotional life being particularly affected. Betrayal and duplicity threaten peace and happiness. A child born on this day may be subject to many and diverse hazards in its business, social, emotional and physical life, although it can count on the approbation and friendliness of superiors. Mrs.
