BY LILLIAN YOUNG.

At this season, when outdoor sports
and exercises are molding figures for
better or worse, and when low necks
and transparent blouses are in order. a
hint or two concerning shoulders may
be considered timely. Violent exercise is
bound to affect these parts of the anat-
omy particularly. because in practically
all games requiring exercise OF muscles
the play Of force is most emphatic across
the shoulders Accordingly the danger
is in overdevelop.ng them, and what is
desired is to keep the development OF
muscles and flesh evenly distributed, so
that 1t effects a nicely rounded contour
instead of punches and knots, which are
very apt to result unless guarded against.
The best advice is to learn to distribute
the force used in swinging the clubs or
in welding the racquet. In some In
stances, as in rowing, it is difficult to
regulate the force so that the bulk of
the strain does not come upon the Shout
ders but by training 1t can be divided
between the elbows and shoulders, which
will help considerably.
Another pitfall of the outdoor woman is
the tendency to duck the head and slump
the shoulders. Especially in summer the
lassitude which the most energetic feel
at times causes this attitude and. per-
sisted in round shoulders will result. Ill
health or weakness has the same effect.
Practice keeping the chest up and out
always. and especially in the exercise OF

problem is beaded chiffon or net. with
the beads arranged in some artistic

Pearl beaded white chiffon combined
with lilac charmeuse is used for the
handsome dinner gown shown in today s

FACTS CONCERNING
BRUSHES AND BROOMS

Brushes and hrooms repay their owner
for systematic and intelligent care. For
one thing, they ought always to be hung
on a door or wall. instead of being leaned
against a wall. Hanging keeps the bristles
even and straight A stout cord can be
tied tightly about the handle Of the brush
or broom or else it can be run through
a hole bored in the handle with a gimlet
and the brush or broom can be hung by
means of this cord to hook or nail fas-
tened in a door, wall or under part of a
shelf
Brooms should be washed frequently
whenever they are soiled or full of dust
in hot soapsuds until they are clean and
then rinsed in clear. hot water. They
should then be dried thoroughly. in the
sunshine If possible. before they are used
again. Washing helps to lengthen the
life of both brooms and brushes.
Several bags of different materials and
shapes make an ordinary broom useful
for many different things 4 big, square
canton flannel bag can be slipped over
the broom and tied in place by the draw
strings in the top of the bag when the
broom is to be used on oiled polished
floors. The broom will wear for longer

Powered Lace Sunshades.

The use of pompadour silks is augment
ed by lace flounces festooned over the
top of the parasol and caught up with
tiny clusters of satin roses. The handles
to these are of ivory. Except with the
oriental silks there is always a covering
of some filmy fabric to the Powered and
patterned coverings. Figured net as well
as rlain net is often used. rarely in one
deep founce like the methods Of older
days, but in more fanciful ways.
The pleated white net which has be-
come such factor in the trimming of
hats finds it's way to the parasol, and one
sees a great deal of it on those intended
for country use.

NEW PARASOLS HAVE
HANDLES OF VELVET

One OF the oddities In the new French
sunshaces Is that they have handles OF
velvet These are exceedingly long. after
the manner OF those used In the direc-
tore days. and therefore the velvet is
quite conspicuous It IL in q different
color from the parasol itself. Vivid col
ors are omitted. but black and white Is
uaed great deal. With the exception of
the original Japanese parasols and their
sevsra; limitations in silk. the long direc-
toi.e handle Is the choice evidently of
the manufactures.

Once a Part of Every Bible

from HarperS Magazine.
The name Apocrypha now attached to
these IA books means primarily The
Hidden Originally the word apocryphal
meant simply the books whose origin
was obscure or whose usage and mean
ing We're secret. Neither among Hebrew
scholars nor in the early Christia n
church did the word imply that these
books were either untrustworthy, spir-
rious or unworthy of religious use and
reverence. They have been printed,
therefore, as part of Holy Scripture in
the Septuagint, the Vulgate and most
Roman Catholic Bibles up to the present
time in the Lutheran, Reformed mad
English Bibles for nearly three centuries
after Luther's break with Rome they
We're printed, and they have been read in
Protestant Pulpits during the same pc
riod as useful and good for edificatou,
although not authoritative In proof of
Christian doctrine, Homlies of the An
glican church are still full of citations
from the Apocrypha on an equal level
with the canonical Old Testament.
II was not till the year 1926 that the
British and American Bible societies ban
1shed them as uninspired from the COM
pany of the other biblical writings with
which for is centuries they had been con-
tributing to the moral Instruction and
spiritual nurture of Christendom.
Have these ancient books between the
Testaments deserved this sentence of
Punishment from Christian knowledge
and service? The customary reason
given for this ecclesiastical boycott has
been that they were "uncanonical7
Many Christian scholars, however,
doubt both the wisdom and the Justice
of this sentence. For with the rise of
modern biblical criticism the reasons on
which theologians had leaned, such as
that they We're written in Greek not in
holy Hebrew; that ancient rabbis and
scholars, like Jerome. had doubted their
canonieity. and Protestant councils ques-
toned their inspiration, have one by one
lost their former force. Modern scholars
think that the Divine Spirit was quite
as likely to dictate religious revelation
in Greek as in Hebrew, and that, in re-
spect to scholarly knowledge and iudg-
ment of what is spiritual truth, modern
critics and theologians are as competent
to decide as ancient rabbis or the doctors
of divinity of one or two hundred years
ago.
