BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

The average woman in the days
when the Venus was modelled never
thought of taking exercise. The tend
ency was toward full bust and hips
and would have been for a large
waistline except that the styles made
the women lace in to such an un-
healthy degree. The tendency Of mod
ern athletics is to develop a longer
and leaner figure. with firm muscle
taking the place of soft flesh, with
fiat hack and abdomen. thinner arms
thinner waist and hips. All our mod
ern standards of beauty are based on
health.
Willamina. +. D.--You are correct
in assuming that you would not de
rive much benefit from a hot oil treat
ment, If you nlassaged the scalp
shortly afterWarl. For this reason
most people apply the Oil at night
and shampoo the next morning. If
YOU do this you should cover the
head with an old soft towel so that
the oil Will not get on the bed linen.
This oil treatment will help make
your hair less brittle. and inclined to
break Off. and daily massage will
help grow new hair, even though
you do have the uric condition in Your
blood. Do everything you can to i'm

rid OF the rheumatism you will have
less work to do on your scalp. New

Beware of Starvation Diets.

In q collection of stories about food
William Caine remarks that food may
not seem noble subject, but the
only other matters Of universal appeal
are love and disease.
There seems to be q notion that a
group OF women discuss nothing but
foods, clothes and children.
Men don't spend very much time
thrashing out the problem of the
French debt, the English strike. the
italian Fascist. To be sure they may
start off with 81 see by the papers"
and toss off some Weighty t?) reference
to world problems. But they don't
linger long before they haul in some
thing about "nly diet The personal
problem il the subject Of interest to
women and men.
In one OF our evening papers a
short time ago on the sport page
there was run a series of articles on
diet and exercises by a noted trainer.
In one he warned about the danger
Of starvation diets. though he thought
them useful in some cases But he and
all other authorities emphatically
warn people against undergoing
lengthy fasts for reducing without
being under the care Of Il physician.
a personal physical examination is
the only thing that can determine the
state OF a PERSONS blood pressure or
the condition Of the heart. Rapid loss
of weight means lowered bodily re-
sistance.
The safe method is not to eat the
fattening foods, but to keep nourished
by eating in moderation of the foods
allowed on q reducing diet.

Shades for Your Porch.

In order to make your porch really
livable at this time Of the year it
should be cool and shady. You'll be

that will protect against both the

hot sun. Yet your shade also will
have to be proof against strong winds
and wear.

The American splint shade is gen.

are woven together with. cords Of fish

There are ventilating spaces to pro,

air rises to the top, and the cooler
air enters in the spaces below. A
properly constructed shade Will smut

When you're buying your porch
shades make certain that they Will
be easy to set up. Some OF them
come with special staples, which you
must only drive into the porch beam
or screen frame, and then hang the
shade to them. The shade may be
instantly lifted on or of. Each shade
should have at least two adjusting
cords for raising and lowering; one
cord won't hold It securely in place

The evacuation of Boston py the

carried out under Thomas direction

Canary Birds and Pneumonia.

For many years express companies
all over the country paid heavily for
losses in shipments of canary birds.
The express companies undertook to
deliver livestock satisfactorily packed
for shipping and provided with food
and drink. in a living condition. II
was found, however, that nearly all
canary birds sent by express died on
the way. Presently they discovered
that the birds were all dying OF
pneumonia, and this was traced down
to the fact that they got themselves
wet and consequently cold in the car
by taking baths. as birds arc prone
to do, in their water dishes. Their
lowered temperature allowed them to
succumb to pneumonia germs which
are found everywhere in dust. Finally
the question was solved by a clever
man who installed patent ink wells
for drinking vessels for the birds. Sc
that by pecking the bird could get a
swallow at time and no more.
Now what do you know about

Making Birthday Cake Attractive
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.
1 or else wrapped

be washed and dried or else wrapped
in waXed paper. -,
Whether a cake for an adult shall
have candles on or about 1t Is a mat
ter of individual preference. The one
important thing to remember Is that
the candles are then for ornament
solely, and are used to carry out the
traditional custom of lighted decofa-
ton. To have the candles indicate
the age by duplicating the years in
number is not to be thought of. The
one exception to this is when a per
son is so aged that it is Il matter for
rejoicing that he or she is still in good
health and able to enjoy the celebrsl-
tion. Even then Il less number, such
az II, Is or 20. are quite as satisfac-
tory. Incidentally, the cost is decld-
edly less To have 90 candles. for eX-
ample, means nice little sum to eX-
pend for the ornaments. and a real
difficulty IN getting them on and
about the cake.
Flower Suggestions.
Color as we'll as light may he used
TO accent the decorative element or
the cake For example, the cake may
he frosted with green icing and the
candles be pink, and they will re-
semble wee flowers coming from foli-
4
pecially a really old person, the can
dies may be lavender in green icing.
and then they suggest a. carpet of
violets on a green lawn. yellow can
dies on chocolate icing Sprlnkled with
minced piStachio nuts to give a touch
of green will hint of daffodils grow
ing from the ground where the grass
is just beginning to grow. Or the
candles may he i'll green holders on
the chocolate icing.
Color Effects.
When color alone is wanted without
any floral suggestion, the icing may
he red and the candles white. This is
an appropriate idea for a birthday
cake when the anniversary comes on
or near the 4ti Of July. A rainbow
effect is produced by having the icing
white and tiny candles of many col
ors Hetking the surface.
Good Luck in Candles.
Good luck may be typified by green
candles arranged TO resemble the con
tour Of n big four-leafed clover. Then
icing may be chocolate. plain white
or any contrasting hue. To get the
shape and size right for the leaf. lay
the cake tin on a piece of plain paper
and trace around l.. Cut out four
triangles from folded paper. With
the scissors cut the points that are at
the base and opposite the line Of the
fold to furm curves. Open the tri-
angles and YOU will have the lobes or
leaf sections. Arrange on the icing
and put the candle holders around
the edges. Insert the candles. and
they will be ready 10 light when the
time comes.
