III Mil II, 'No Ceiling7 On 'Winged Victory7 Thrills BY BETTE STEVENS SMITH i I 16 ST.LQUIS STAR-TIMES Pec. 5, 1944. HESTER lUYJE DEAR HESTER WAYNE: WHY IS IT that some girls that aren't even very pretty get all the boys after them while the rest ol us don't get a chance? am considered very nice have a nice personality too, dress well, but at a dance I went to this month- where there weren't enough boys they Just passed up. I watched these other girls but couldnt see that they had anything that I didn't have. Some of them couldn't even dance but just romped around and had lots of fun.

Don't think I mean these girls acted fast, but why did the boys like them better than the rest of us who Just sat out watching mast of the night? JUDY. Yoa are not supposed to keep your gase on the girts at a danee, Ja4y. Of coarse it is wise to studr the methods of successful sirens but not at the danee. The girl with the pep in her feet and eye becomes a magnet. Next danee.

tidy, act animated even thoath your heart la lead inside yon. Break loose from the sitters and watebers, mare around the room, smiling at the boys, getting introductions by hook or by crook, and sooner or later, 1 promise ye. will come across some shy en happy boy lurking behind a pillar waiting to be led oat on the dance floor. Once yon get him oat don't talk abowt the weather. Tell him be dances divinely, say that yon had been waiting to meet him for the longest time Forget yourself and have fan is the rale of the dance.

I Li -tot- DEAR HESTER WAYNE: I AM CLAD you tell unhappy wives not to rush into divorce but wait and fight to hold the home together. I know, because I have been through that unhappy experience, and today have a happy home again.

Here's how looked at it we had been so happy together so many years I realized that there must have been a lot of good In my husband and that, as you say, this mad spell over a babydoll was like a sickness. When told my husband I was getting a divorce so he could marry the girl he looked so genuinely shocked that I knew he had never had any idea of such a thing so I came to my senses and decided to clean things up. Of course, things hurt and I think perhaps his biggest punishment was the fact that his own youngsters had got to know about it and so he's no longer the big man he once was in their eyes. This babydoll aith a husband overseas used to come right' to my husband's plsce of business and talk about how lonely she was till the men said she was too easy to resist. There wont be any need for us to tell her husband when he comes home because these babydoll who run along the street with that hungry look In their eyes wreck their own homes.

The think is not to let nem wreck yours. NOW HAPPY MOTHER. Tear signature is enough to make all unhappy wives read your letter, Mether. One thing more, though be sure yoa keep that cracked spot well cemented over. Hang over It a picture of dad when he was young and handsome just so the youngsters will forget all about the break.

DEAR HESTER WAYNE: WILL YOU HELP OUT in an argument that is threatening to break up our family? Our 19-year-old daughter, who is very sensible otherwise, met a soldier a few weeks ago at a canteen, has fallen madly In love as she says. is. planning to marry him on his next leave before he goes overseas. They have seen each other exactly 10 week-ends, usually dining together in a hotel. We feel they ought to wait till this man comes back but she is going on the assumption that she wont be able to hold him unless with a wedding ring.

We put it up to you. Do you believe in war marriages? DAD. Someone lately made the distinction between war marriages and marriages in war-time. Dad. The first are those rushed into, characterised by haste.

Impulsiveness and urgency. The latter are those which weald have taken place had there been no war. Weald your daughter have rushed Into marriage with this acquaintance had be not been in uniform? Both Army and Navy discourage war-marriages, claiming that the bridegroom worries too much and worry makes an inefficient soldier. And when wedding rings can be changed as easily as they are today, they count for little. A love which can't stand the test of a few months' absence is not the real thing.

Sim this is definitely a war-rharriage your daughter weald be much wiser to wait, go on with her job, fill her spare time with letter-writing and taking on of those splendid Canteen courses offered by the Bed Cross something which will fit her for that little new kitchen after the war. a a DEAR HESTER WAYNE: LAST SATURDAY NIGHT my husband left me for no reason at all. and I must have some advice. We have been married Just five months but he has been married twice before, has two wonderful children by hi3 first wife.

'THERE are two factors to be considered in the large thigh. One is slumping and poor muscle tone and the other Is fat accum-mulatton. It is surprising how many women with otherwise slim," slender figures, bulge at the thigh.

In fact, almost every woman has a tendency of this sort after her thirtieth birthday. Here are several first aid measures. However, let me warn you that this takes more time than the reduction of a waistline or the slimming down of a protruding stomach. In the first place, stand tall and contract your hip muscles. If you will look at your thighs as you do so you wui notice that they practically disappear or at least become much less prominent.

Hold this contraction for as long as comfortable. Relax for a few minutes and contract the muscles again. Do this quite a few times each day. Alo beat a brisk tato over the fattejst portion of the thigh while you hold the contraction THE fblioalng exercises aUo are 'after Ova: Ua on your bark appeal when you use plenty of Wilson's Evaporated Milk in your cooking.
