In the present system the commits

When the waves who had had adj

now, to have grumbed about their
home.
1t wasn't until they had gone to
other places that they realized that
they were so happy at home and that
they had just grumbled for no reason
at all.
"Oh Mother, we never want to leave
again." they cried. 1T was awful"

My friend, Mr.. Wind. promised he'd
bring you back to me again, and he
did,"
Just then the waves heard some
children laughing as they ran towards
the ocean on the southern part of the
coast where it was very warm.
"Oh, ocean, how we love YOU" they
cried.
Later in the day many people
came and swan in the beautiful ocean
and the fairies sang as they rode over
the breakers in their boats of foam.

LEG DEVELOPMENT
BY John Kendrick Bangs.

THE human body should be covered
l. evenly with a layer of soft fatty
tissue. But in some cases, there is
an extra amount of the tissue settled
in some parts. and not enough in
others. One reason why some women
have fat hips with a slender body Is
that heavy or tight clothes are sus-
pended from the waist, which by its
very weight cOmpels this tissue 20
settle further down upon the hips.
Girls who work long hours In sitting
positions frequently have large hips
for much the same reason.
In the same way tight carriers are
often responsible for stopping circu-
lation into the lower leg and therefore
prevent the fatty tissue from accum-
ulating there. Exercise Is the only
way to develop the legs, the more
exercise the better the shape of the
legs. The leg swinging movement is
excellent to develop the entire body

dance is on the toes. Swimming and
walking, too, will develop the leg;
tennis playing is excellent as well.
The girl whose work keeps her sit

find that bathing the leg from the

saying it vigorously while the skin
is still hot and wet, will help to
overcome lack of development or fab,
