Y. PROVES WONDERFUL to promptly relieve misery and kill cause* of ATHLETE S FOOT Here’s a product that really does what it claims. It’s a Doctor’s wonderfully soothing yet powerfully medicated liquid called Zemo. First applications relieve itching and burning between cracked, peeling toes and aid healing. Zemo actually kills on contact the vicious germs* that cause and spread this trouble. That’s why Zemo has such an amazing record of continuous success. First trial convinces. Buy Zemo at any drugstore. ZEMO You are quite right in assuming that I receive a great many letters from those tvho would like to take up acting. Vll repeat the suggestions I have made in this column many times. First of all. one who aspires to an acting career should secure a good education ; the candidate should finish high school, and two years of college would be useful. During that period, one should take as active a part as possible in all dramatic activities. Then one should specialize: Enroll in a good dramatic school and get experience in the summer theaters. One should start out with two priceless bits of personal equipment : Health and drive. Great physical handsomeness is not essential. Claudette Colbert Dear Miss Colbert: Before I went into the Army, I dated a girl a few times. When I left, I asked her to write. I confined my letters to news about the base, but her letters began to get soft with love. I answered about one in five or six of her letters but it didn’t seem to matter. She wrote anyway. Now I’m home and she is taking for granted that we are going to get married. I have dated her occasionally, and she makes it a point to drag me past a furniture store, pointing out her taste and asking me what I want in a home. This girl is nice and sweet — but I’m not in love with her and have told her so. Furthermore, I am only twenty-one. I am planning to become a doctor, so I have four years of college, a year of interneship, and several years of resident work and junior surgery before I will be able to think of supporting a wife. “Why don’t I simply avoid the girl?” Well, she lives four doors down the street, and is crazy about my mother. She drops in at all hours and is wonderful to Mom. How, without hurting her feelings, can I sort of comb her out of my hair? A wearied man. The answer to your problem can be supplied gracefully by your mother. She should tell this girl frankly that you have no intention of marrying for seven or eight years and explain why. Meanwhile do not ask her for dates, and when she is in your house, be friendly but distant. She’ll get the point eventually. Your mother may find that she. too, has lost a frequent caller. This world would move more smoothly and there would be less heartache in the long run if a lot of courageous though gentle candor were applied.
