EDWARDS FRIDAY, JUNE 19,: 1931.. A i The Intelligencer's Daily Society aiid Feature Page i cys Ruth Cameron THE ASK-RTJTH-CAMERON DAY Question: I have a daughter who suffers from depression. Sometimes we are afraid it may develop into melancholia. She is 22 years has finished school, and doesn't need to. school of forestry? There are certain' good erough in mathematics.

Can you suggest some occupation he might learn? Why not send Him to a' work, as we are very comfortably well off. She has few friends, as she is very reserved and hard to get acquainted with. She drives around alone in her car a great deal. Can you suggest anything she might do to take mind and create an interest for herself? Being Loved Would.Make Her Lovable Answer: I should think a splendid thing for her to do would be to use her car, and part of her 'allowance, to bring- cheer into homes where 'it would be an untold bleasing. She could get a'list of names from almost any social service worker.

The people who are shutins or too poor to indulge in luxuries are often very Interesting. She might take a young mother and her baby for a day in the country, -bring a box of flowers from her garden and a jar marmalade to some wheelchair invalid, carry a carton of cigarettes to the veterans' hospital. (I have been told that the flemand for cigarettes at these institutions is the request most made by these forgotten heroes who are still paying the price of victory.) She would be sure to find some girl her own age who would be delighted with the gift of her discarded frocks. It give her a sense of gratification to find herself appreciated and needed, and even loved by these people, who would call down blessings upon her for her interest and kindness. A Profession For The Outdoor Lover Question: I have a son 18 years old who will graduate high school in June.

He is not very good at book learning, but he is intelligent and he wants to be out of doors all the time. We hoped he might take up civil engineering, but he is not large forestry concerns which have apprentice 'schools where they train young men in wood lore, tree culture, tree surgery. It seems to me it would be an excellent line for your boy. The young man who spraj'ed and' trimmed my elm trees last' week was! such a bronzed, healthy young chap, and seemed to enjoy his work so much. Question: What do you think of young girls going bare logged in the summer? I mean girls around 16 and 17.

Answer: It all depends on the. occasion. I think legs at the theatre (where I saw them recently), or in'a dance frock, are in bad taste. But the fad of wearing low tennip socks to match a sports dress is attractive, comfortable, economical, and healthy. But Post Morteins Weaknesses Question: My daughter earns $20 a week.

I think she ought to budget income, but she just laughs and says: "It gets spent anyway, so what's the use of bothering with post mortems?" Don't you think I am right, and if you ao, what do you think would bea sensible division of her wages? Answer: I certainly do think you are right. -The habit of thrifty spending as well as saving can be acquired no other way. A budget doesn't necessarily need to be iron bound, but it should serve as a pretty good guide to the best way 'of getting the most out of what one earns. I should say that a rough estimate of a budget for $20 week might be $8 paid to you for room and board, $5 for clothes, $2 for lunches, $1.50 for carfare, $1 for savings, 50 cents for gifts or charity, and $2 for amusements and. vacation money.

About this time of the summer a lot' ot women are worrying over the problem of superfluous hair, and what to do about it when they put on bathing suits.

My suggestion is for you to investigate the different types ot depilatories anil then use whichever one suits best. You will probably find different kinds stutable for different purposes. For under the arm, for instance, I can think of- nothing better than shaving. Small safety razors are made now in special attractive patterns for feminine use. They come apart and fold flat into neat little boxes that look like vanity cases.

Personally, I see no reason why safety razors cannot also be used on the legs. The only difficulty is that they must be used every day, or every other day if the legs are covered with dark hair. You can, however, use the powder or paste depilatories, which dissolve the hair at the surface of the skin. If you buy good quality, the skin Is not in the least Irritated, and although the hair grows back, it takes longer to put in an appearance than if you have shaved. There is a wax type ot depilatory which is excellent for arms or for superfluous hair on the face, which is, however, too expensive to use on the You can pay sums to have this stuff applied, or you can get a package and experiment yourself--there are various makes, and so far as I know, all of them are good.

The wax Is put on at a certain temperature in strips, and the strips are pulled taking the hai: wi.tluthem. It sounds extremely painful, but really isn't and its great advantage is that the hair cornea out by the roots. Other hairs come in, but this takes some time. Gradually this process weakens the new hairs so they die out. M.

purchase almond oil in any drugstore in any amount, as it is sold by the ounce will not encourage hair to grow on the skin, but it is advisable to gat the very best grade of the oil to have thoroughly satisfactory results from using it in the place of a cream. Miss J. the bones in your legs are perfectly straight and the little curve below the thighs is just some natural characteristic, or some muscles developed more than others; in either case, it is nothing that spoils the shape of your legs. Sally--You may easily use the ep- som salts treatment once a week for your skin. Tomorrow--The Week's Economy By Annebelle Wor thingtou Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Furnished with Every Pattern Quite a number ot-smart women are taking advantage of the waistcoat blouse, because ot Its slimming qualities.
