When standing before a looking glass

When standing before looking glass
notice II your shoulders are the same
height Generally the right is higher
than the left. The reason for this un.
evenness lies in the way one SITS. You
get into comfortable chair at your
desk, and at once you rest your right
elbow on the arm of your chair or
your desk. thus throwing one shoulder
higher than the other. This Is especial
~ the case where one writes a great
deal. When you notice that one shout
der is higher than the other the thing
to do is to change your way of sitting
at your desk. Two simple exercises
will be beneficial The arm Of the low
er shoulder should be extended up
ward, the hand grasping a dumbbell.
That Of the higher shoulder should be
lowered and made to support a heavy
weight.

Women Could Make Patterns.

There is no need for woman to
pay out money for a new pattern ev-
cry time a dress is made. says the
home economics department at Iowa
State college. With knowledge OF
patterns, any housewife can design a
pattern herself for particular dress
by altering a foundation pattern which
has been used before. The method Of
alteration is one of the principal
things in the dressmaking course for
home makers being given by the de-
partment at the 1916 summer school.
In few weeks the. women registered
in this course are able to design their
own patterns and then to make a
dress from it. A number of married
women, including wives Of the faculty,
are taking the course.
