no foreign quarter. Washington s
greatest Industry is government. and
It's greatest product Is politics, but the
issues are all national. II is the only
American city where there is no local
party politics; In fact. Il is the only
city of the civilized world which can.

Merely because woman has good
height and is sparsely built does not
place her In the fashionable class. Her
figure must not only be of symmetri-

characterize the Ideal figure.
Starting at the shoulders, the line

and round. tapering to the waist. then
gracefully curvIng over the hips and

appreciated when studying the lines
from the back or profile.
The right kind OF exercise and

mediums that Will accomplish the
