In all cases, be sure to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope and send requests to her, care of The Miami Daily Neics. By DOROTHY DIX Dear Miss Dix: My best friend is a girl a year older than I.

She is a wonderful companion, and very popular because of her many accomplishments, such as singing, dancing, and playing the piano. She has also a keen sense of humor. We've known each other since grammar-school days, wirjt-. Ti By JOAN NIELSEN They might have been winded by the time they arrived at Lauderdale Lakes, but that's nothing to compare with the aftermath. Mr.

and Mrs. Rowland S. Holmbtrg, with their ten-year-old twins, Susan and Miry drove into their former home town at 11:30 a.m. At 2 p.m. they were nearly blown out of town, for a most severe tornado rocked the resort, lifting roofs from houses, damaging cars and buildings.

in the Great Smokies. Bliss For Clarissa Traditionally busy as any bride-to-be, Clarissa Cavalaris should be getting traditionally exhausted as well. With moon tjr' and we are both recent high-school graduates. She has one habit, however, that I find most annoying. She accepts, -almost casually, any favor done for her, says "thank you," and lets it go at that.

She's very willing to do things for others, but it seems to me she takes things too much for granted. Do you think I should mention this to her? Ellen T. Answer: The essence of good friendship, learning to take people over to our own requirements, is a futile task, one that rarely is justified. People have different ways of accepting favors; Sbme become so effusive in their thanks as to be almost embarrassing; others, like your friend, have the give and take attitude that accepts gracefully and sincerely, if not eloquently. I'm sure if your friend's attitude is too casual, she'd never have so many friends.

Even the most accomplished person would lose popularity were she too indifferent.

Perhaps many of the favors done for her are actually returns for the help she has given in livening up a party, or standing by a harrassed hostess. Look back over your school years and count up the times she has, perhaps, helped you get a date, or pepped up an evening for you. These intangible favors aren't always noticed at the time, and most certainly aren't usually followed with a "thank you." Weigh the pros and cons of your friend's position in your group, and see if you really think she's too casual. She certainly must have many fine qualities to have earned your devotion all these years. However, no matter what your conclusions, saying anything to the girl would be out of place.

If she thought your criticism unreasonable, your friendship might be jeopardized. Good friends are too rare to risk. Dear Miss Dix: Two months ago I met Bert and liked him right away. Recently, he said he loved me, and I know I love him. He's in the Air Force, and stationed in Europe.

Although I promised to wait for him, I haven't heard a word since he left here six weeks ago. Maybe it's foolish for me to sit home and wait for mail, yet I can't believe he has forgotten me so soon.

i things don't go to suit you. You do that, you know. The glitter of gold makes you a hard worker, too hard at times. If you have acquired red with its activity, you had better watch your health. You can't take it with you.

The gold 1 mean. Your love for a wide variety or people is in accord with red. If you are inclined to be a little jealous, and become a bit hardboiled. the impulsiveness of red should be watched. Think before you speak! Your word is your bond and your ideals will carry you over the rough spots.

Your deep religious feeling coupled with the love of fellow man and the sympathetic nature of red, makes a combination hard to beat. The best of the gold and the best of the red personalities go far to make up the realization of the ideals mm a When the Emil Sneidmans leave their 9461 E.
