Elusive, delicate fragrance like

ROUND SYMMETRY
RESULT OF
ACTIVE EXERCISE
BY Maria Jeritza

Aside from ali these advantages,
exercise is worth while just be-
cause 1t is good fun. II you
doubt this, start today, practicing
the various exercises that I sug.
gest in these little chats from
time to time. Do five or six Of
them from ten to twenty times
each while your bath water il
running each morning.
Here is an exercise that you
will find excellent for the muscles
Of your stomach and abdomen,
shoulders and upper back as well
as your arms. And 1t will even
give a vigorous little stretch to
the muscles about your knees.
Stand erect with your hands on
your hips, fingers turned to the
back, your heels together. your
back and neck straight.
Now raise your hands above
your head, palms facing.
Bend quickly, touching your
toes with your finger-tips.
Unbend, allowing your arms
to extend straight out in front.
From this position bend your
arms quickly, in a horizontal line,
palms down, until your finger
tips reach as near as you can
bring them to your arm.pits at
either side.
Now extend your arms out at
your sides. In order to do this
let them shoot straight out to the
front. then describe a half circle
as you stretch them out to the
sides. You are now ready to be-
gin the exercise again.
Do this exercise with as nearly
military precision as you can. 1t
is one of those used at a great
military school, and If you prac-
tice it faithfully each day, it will
add much to your grace, sym.
metry and beauty.

identifying effect upon over'large
arms.
In fact. the whole body responds
by lines Of symmetry to sys-
tematic exercise. You may be
naturally Of a large type. In that
case daily exercise should reduce
your size to proportions that are
pleasing and-best of al-should
enable you to carry your weight
with easy grace.
One the other hand, yours may
be the slender, willowy type of
figure. In that. case exercise
always provided you do not over
do 1t, but pause before you reach
the point of exhaustion-should
add the curve OF beauty to your
straight silhouette, accentuating
your grace and loneliness even
though it may not add much to
your actual weight.
And exercise does much more
than this. 1t helps to keep your
internal organs working normally
and actively and this in turn
gives you live, alert feeling
that is youthfuness, itself. Also
exercise is natural safety-valve
for your energy and hence is
refreshing,

We walked through a blistering

looked rather damp. At one side
of this moist spot was a muddy
pool.
That man didn't go near the

He started digging with his

should be called walking perch
because they leave the muddy
pools where they live and push
themselves along with their fins

this. Then they burrow in the
ground and go to sleep.

PEACH MELBA
DELICIOUS
BY Alice L.angelier-

BY Alice Langelier-t
THIS peach melba is one of
the best creations of the
famous chef Escoffier. It makes
a delightful summer dessert.
Choose firm. ripe peaches Of
medium size and poach in a
syrup favored with vanilla. Let
cool in the syrup. drain and cool
on ice.
Arrange the peaches in a
crystal bowl on a thick layer of
vanilla ice cream. Pour over a
PURGE of raspberries. Surround
the bowl with cracked ice and
serve at once.

They evidently stop breathing
and just absorb the moisture
which is in the earth. I'll tell
you how they got the name of
climbing perch. Centuries ago
some Arabs came here and said
they saw these fish climbing trees.
and then a man named Daldorf
wrote in the year 1891 that he had
seen a perch in palm tree five
feet from the ground. Now, we
don't doubt this writer's word. but
no one since has seen such a thing,
so perhaps that perch was an
acrobat"
Pretty easy fishing" laughed
Bobby.
ut certainly is" agreed. But
what surprises me is the fact that
these fish don't look like fish out
