CLEVELAND. MYERS It looks as if some mothers agree with what I wrote a while ago about teen-age girls playing with dolls. Here's one response: "Dear Dr. Myers: On reading your article on 'Teenager who plays with dolls,' I felt; I should tell you about my daughter, who is the pride of our lives. THREE CLOSE PLAYMATES 'From about the age of four, playmates just the same age. They went to the same school and all were bright students. "I had always noticed that one of the girls wasn't quite as in- terested in dolls as our daughters and the third te. In fact, she tired of pl g with dolls very soon and would try to divert the other two toward some other play. "At 12 years of age, there was a definite change. The one (we'll call her A) became very interested in boys while B (our daughter) and C still loved their dolls. A's mother encouraged her daughter by giving parties for girls and boys and not ever inviting B or C. A's mother explained to me one day that A was more mature than B. Indeed she was -- our little girl never even noticed the parties, or at least never mentioned them. AT FOURTEEN "When B was 14, I bought her a doll that was the oy of her life a big baby doll that wore Year old clothes. What a lot of fun t was for the two girls to go downtown shopping for that doll! our daughter had two very close|y What a kick they got when a saletiady asked how old the baby was Readers' Letters Strengthen Views On Dolls for Teen-Age Girls "B kept her doll in the doll car- riage right in her bedroom until she became engaged, which was at nineteen. AN SUTETANDING, gd - ege, our r was an tatencias student, graduating with the highest honors. She was chosen Queen of the Campus, member of an honor society and president of her college sorority. "After her marriage she was provincial chairman of her sorority and did some travelling for two ears. "She is now a very busy mother with a daughter of her own and an adopted son. Both she and her husband had hoped for a large family and expected to be adopting another child very soon." Here is another illustrative letter when I received: 13 aro £10) playing mith dolls a ar-ol Pl g 0 and her mother who is afraid this girl is mentally deficient. Doesn't at mother have any imagination at all? A DOLL COLECTION "My Jean is 13 and she still loves her dolls. My niece, 18, has a fine collection of dolls. She spends many happy hours redress- and arra her dolls in the cabinet her stepdad made for her. "Each year, my buys her more dolls (of a miniature type). My sister spends many hours sew- ing doll dresses for all her nieces for Christmas and she's a grown woman." Those of us who have visited in a girls' dormitory at a boarding school or college have noticed the large number of dolls some of these girls have. And so far as 1 can ascertain these girls are not considered queer my their asso- ciates and friends. KEEP IN TRIM By IDA JEAN KAIN As every dieter soon discovers, there's a calorie gremlin that de- reducers. His theme song Just this once won't count." And he'll work over- time this first week-end of your diet, so be alerted. "Just this once" counts--heavily. Fact is, there never was a more fattening alibi. It's true you don't count it, and a kindly heaven won't hold it against you. But psy- chologists make it clear that each repetition grooves the habit deeper. Use this strategy. When tempted | by a fattening food this weekend, remember the choice is yours. Ask yourself, right out loud: 'Which do I really want--five minutes of fleeting pleasure from eating the piece of devil's food cake or to get down to beautiful normal weight? Once you weigh the one choice against the other, it will seem silly to allow a miserable little piece of cake to stand between you and" a smaller size. There is noth that sustains enthusiasm for a slimming course like being able to slip smoothly into the next smaller size dress. So this week-end chart your course. Aiming at the next size brings the oal nearer. OW DO YOU CHECK? What are your present weight and size? The standard number of pounds between sizes is 10 to 16, depending upon structure. There is a ten-pound difference in the small s; 12 to 14 in me- dium sizes, and 16 pounds in the larger sizes. To estimate the num- ber of pounds to your next dress size, take into account how near you are to the top weight limit in the size you are wearing now. All this information is Siven in the Perfect Dress Size art. Maybe a mere eight pounds off will turn the trick for you. But face it, if you are crowding the Chart Your Course and Head Towards the Next Smaller Size you'll have slightly more than the standard number to reduce to the next size. Knowing where you stand makes the goal more certain--and will help carry you triumphantly through the weekend. The 'grem- lin" hasn't a chance.

I have a steady job and a nice house in the best residential district; in fact, everything that ought to make 3 happy Mnafr e. But a chain of even! 3 has spolied tis, chance at comp! appiness, and given me years of torture instead. After we had been married I heard on different occasions that my wife had been associated with uestionable crowd at an a Bother me then, As Dap: pened before we met, I felt was water over the dam, and for- got about it. A The next disturbing event was a few years later, when I saw evidence on my return home from work, one day, that a man visitor had been there. When I asked Kate who had been there, she said, '"No- body." I didn't elabroate on the subject, as I felt an argument would reflect on the children and ssibly spoil their lives. So again tried to be normal outw: H but inwardly I was very hurt, knowing someone had been there. WANTS PERSPECTIVE Some time after that, during a family spat, my wife informed me that our boy wasn't my son. Im- mediately she said she was sorry, didn't mean it and didn't know why she said it. Again I let the matter go, for reason stated before; but my mind auomatically reviewed the preceding pattern of events, and somehow they all added up, tho I tried to tell myself it couldn't be true. I might be quite wrong in my deductions; but the pattern has stuck in my mind and lots of time I have wondered how it would be to live without such thoughts con- 5: stantly weighing on one. Can you straighten me out, and help me back to proper perspective? Does a wife do and say such things impulsively, to hurt her husband temporarily, not realizing she spoils his life? A.R. Dear A.R.: It seems you are a pessimistic introvert type, predis- to collect fuel for worry, and thus overlook the nutriments of happiness that might have been found in the same day's journey. The sketchy circumstantial evi- dence you report against Kate sug- gest a potential flightiness, yes. But, before you jump to negative conclusions, consider the fact that she has been your wife for 17 years, a record that refers to some stability and staying power. | Whatever Kate's shortcomings or irregularities, evidently she feels genuinely related to you; she likes, respects and d ds upon you. But also she fears your moral judgments and dreads your disap- iproval, as threats to her security. As 1 get the picture, there is mutual lack of confidence and rust between you and Kate, which probably makes her resentful at times -- shicurely rebellious--and may account for her mistaken ac- tions, as well as her self-defensive evasions when challenged. How- ever, it is possible that you have been her salvation, socially, hold- ing her on a steady course of fam. ily life by your solid (if taciturn) example. SELF-DISTRUST SHOWN By and large, Kate's essential Distrust of Wife's Character Has Spoiled Man's Happiness trouble is immaturity of charac- ter; she's really no worse than childish, She isn't callously sinful or cynic deceitful, as m have Poa. during thene Yours of Houta self Jortufe, when you ve been ha an eh to her, if igh a - person.
