FOR LEG
BEAUTY
Famous Prima Donna Of the Metro
pOIitan Opera Company and
q. One of the Most Beautiful
Women of the Day.

" T is much easier to move
gracefully and efficiently
u when ones body is symmetrf.
cal.
The woman with symmetrical
legs can walk and dance more
gracefully and with less expendi-
ture of effort. than she could
were here limbs overfat or under
developed. For symmetrical legs
mean well-balanced, evenly.devel-
oped muscles.
Walking is the exercise par ex.
cellence for healthful and beauti-
full leg development-that is, cor
rect walking. OF course, awk-
ward walking wastes energy and
tends to lack of symmetry in the
ankles, legs and whole body.
When you walk. your back and
neck should be straight. This
will throw your shoulders into
their correct position, which is
directly underneath your ears.
Your weight should rest not over
your heels, but over the balls of
your feet. And the balls Of your
feet should touch the ground first
followed by the heel. Your heel
should merely touch the ground
for an instant. OF course, this
correct flexible movement Of the
foot is impossible with very high
heels, hence the Importance Of
walking in moderately high or low
heels.
Don't toe out in walking. The
primitive woman with feet un-
spoiled by shoes, always points
her feet straight to the front.
This means direct, graceful steps.
To toe out throws your whole leg
out Of its natural position and
means that in walking a given
distance you cover the ground
almost twice over because of the
outward angles your feet form
instead Of straight forward steps.
Here is an exercise you will
thoroughly enjoy. It brings into
play nearly all the muscles of
your legs and those Of your hips
as well.
Lie flat on the floor with your
hands at your sides, your legs
spread apart. Lift and circle
your right leg to the right with
your knee straight and your toes
pointed, keeping your leg clear
off the floor. Repeat from five
to ten times, then reverse, cir
cling your right leg to the left.
Now repeat. circling your left
leg to the right. then to the left.
To reduce the size Of your legs
and hips, practice this exercise
vigorously, accurately and rapid
ly from ten to twenty times
day. for a period of several
months.

His heart may have been "syndicated;" and as
his wife, woman may have been only zone of a
crowd" but to everything he said or did, Solomon
gave the personal significance" so dear to the
sentimental heart of a woman.
Doubtless he told each wife that he had
"never loved like THIS before;" and, as there are
thousand different varieties of love, and no
man experiences the same kind twice, it was
the truth!
According to all records, Solomon was
"snappy dresser" and a man you could be proud
of when you took him out evenings. He didn't
have to be blindfolded and backed into his eve
ming clothes. He went "in all his GLORY!" And
any married knows what a comfort
THAT is.

To one attending the Parent-Tea-
cher association last Friday after
noon it is a question whether to
think of it in terms of the parents,
the teachers, the children or as
happy elimination to a period of
mutual cooperation. This last is no
doubt the most suitable viewpoint
if one wishes to come into apprecia-
tion of the school as a factor in the
community life.
Miss Warren and the sixth grade
might be looked upon as the hosts
and hostesses since they presented a
little play, Good Citizenship" This
revealed the ideals OF the children
with regard to their civic duties to
the United States, to North Carolina
to Watauga County, to Boone, to the
School and to the sixth grade.
A timely reading in the form of
questionairre for parents was Civ
en- by the President Mrs. l. G. Greer
touching many little ''home habits"
that make or mar the child's chances
for progress at school. By suggestion
at least, it pointed to Utopian day
toward which these good parents are
striving.
Interesting and thought provoking
talks were made by Professors Will
son and Williams touching the ad-
vantages of mutual understanding
on the part of parents and teachers.
The attendance count showed the
fifth grade winners of the itinerating
picture; the treasurer reported 85.5a
on hand; Professor Wilson agreed
to speak at the next meeting, and
the association adjourned.
On every hand it was being remark
ed, "this is the best attendance we
have ever had" Teachers and par.
ents seemed engaged in rivalry OF
politeness and appreciation the crowd
slowly dispersed and we are looking
forward to the next meeting.
