Please married quite happily I - several years and have two lovely children. I get along famously with elderly folk and children, and I suppose with men too. I just feel at ease with them, as with grandmothers and babies. However, young married women, especially housewives, generally seem pretty cool towards mt. They more or less stand off and "eye" me even when we are chatting. It disturbs me quite a bit, but I haven't the least idea how to cope with it. I know I have a pronounced inferiority complex, and once I thought I was imagining this re- moteness, but lately it seems to be getting worse, or I am building it up in my mind. advise me. R.J. HURT BY AMBITIONS Dear R.J.: Shyness and uneasi- ness in social situations are rooted in hostile feelings, actually. Be- neath a purring manner, you are unconsciously competitive -and an- tagonistic towards comparable wo | men your age, and they sense it, which accounts for their wary scru- tiny, even when you are being your sweetest. Your disposition ig to stand apart from girls your age, rather than to merge with the group, because you want to be noticed, to be out- standing. Moreover, you'd like your accomplishments to seem off- hand, as if they just happened, without design or striving on your I am never to my knowledge | part rude or catty in any way. heaven forbid! I have a nice face and figure, nothing outstanding, and on rare occasions have bubbled with personality (I am told). But those wary looks never fail to fluster me, so I usually keep my mouth closed, and put on what I hope is a nice "Oh-you-interesting-per- son" expression with these women. In school days I had similar dif ficulties and my daddy said it was envy; he told me to just ignore it. I sing very well and have par- ticipated in numerous plays, oper- etas and radio shows in this town, and at present am finishing a home study course in radio engin- eering, in addition to doing all my housework, a routine I enjoy, per- haps because I love my husband. I can't sympathize with the woman who gripes over endless chores. Please don't think I am horribly conceited; I'm not . . . At times I'become so discouraged with my- self that I look in a mirror only to apply make-up. This is all rather aimless, isn't it; but I am rather much that way myself, aimless. I try and try, and never get any- where. Maybe I even try too hard Your aimlessness suggests that you don't know what you are after, when you "try and try, and never | get anywhere." Maybe you even try too hard to make people like you, you add. These few sentences, indicate the nub of your social handicap, I think. Your private urge is to be a prima donna in a nice way, every- body's favorite, including the also- rans. You are insistently aggres sive in this, if only in the sense that comparisons and calculations are always stirring in the back of your mind. And this characteristic of never being 'offguard or un- studied when popularity is at stake has a steely impact on less am- bitious young matrons, even though they may not be able to explain their defensive recoil. _ The remedy for your difficulty is to become more aware of the ambitious nature of your behavior. Then make up your mind what you really want, these matrons' liking or their admiring envy. To be pop- ular, one must be sincerely and fondly interested in others, with- out critical bias, and without the itch to impress. M.H. A KEEP IN TRIM Dietitian Advises Overweights How to Reduce By IDA JEAN KAIN Your dietitian has been chal- lenged to help overweights reduce on lean budgets. Many of you point out that no calorie chart lists the inexpensive common dishes that form the backbone of the daily menus. It is possible t. 'educe on any budget.

BUDGET MENU Now to budget fare. A menu built around. an inexpensive dish still be low enough in calories ducing. Here are some main that can be included for 300 calories per dish -- macaroni liberally with cheese; cup of meat.stew with vegetables. With any of these dishes you might | have cole slaw or a dark green {leafy salad with vinegar and sea- soning; and a glass of skim milk i (or buttermilk to supplement the protein. For dessert, have a small serving of fruit, or gelatine. Be sure to leave out bread and butter and keep dessert within 75 calories. That meal totals 500 dinner cal- ories. Fish, frozen, fresh or canned, is made to order for budget dieters. A large serving of cod, flounder or haddock contains only 150 cal- ories.

Evening gowns, suits and coats in leathers as light and supple as satins and wools had cll the facets of high fashion. Many were, in fact, designed by member: of Lon- don's big ten of couture. Star model in styles shown dur- ing the first national leather week was Michael Sherard's embroidered evening gown of orchid pink kid over a tulle crinoline. The dress the first of its kind, received much applause. It's years now since women of hot tea with a weege of cheese; or a glass of buttermilk. Keep total calories around 1200 a day. You can reduce on' regular family menus if you will eat one- third less food than you are eating now; limit bread to three thin slices and skip dessert other than fruit. I know, from letters, that successful reducing brings the tri- umphant feeling that nothing can gver defeat you as long as you ve. thought of leather in terms other than gloves, handbags, shoes and other accessories. At most they have bought an occasional suede sports jacket or leather beret. Not since the flapper days of the 1920s, when leather motoring coats and suits were the rage, have British women bought leather clothes in quantity. Now, following a trend for lea- ther styles in North America, man- ufacturess here are out to prove that leather wear comes at cou- ture level. Not every girl could afford the £368 ($1,030) required to purchase the Sherard evening gown, but many will want the waterproof suede jackets with shot sil': linings priced at 13 guineas ($52.90).

Manufacturers were quick to point out that the heat of leather was excellent protection against cold winds. So, for extra warmth, they showed chamois and leather linings in tweed coats and suits, matched to hats, gloves, handbags and jewelry of leather.
