Normal Feminine Figure.

Dear Miss Leeds: / am much trou
bled by an eighteenth century"
figure. which refuses to be slenderized
into The straight lines now in vogue
Here are my measurements: Height
5 feet 912 inches, weight. 144 pounds,
age. 19 years; hip, 491a inches: thigh
%; waist, 2S; bust. 81; calf. 13l2 Am
overweight? | do not seem to he
able to get below thi~ point without
feeling undernour:shed and tired. l
do quite hit of swimming AMI a
normal amount of exercise.
r. A. c.
Answer.-The figure you describe is
not a peculiar characteristic of eigh-
teenth century womanhood, but it is
natures age-old pattern for the femi-
nine form. In The male figure the
shoulders are wide and the hips small:
in the well developed female figure the
hips are the widest part. This will
always he so, no matter what the
fashion dictators over in Paris may
say. OF course, if you want to make
yourself i'll YOU can starve your figure
down to n bag of bones without the
curves that make Il WOmans body
the most beautiful work of nature.
l think the trouble with you is that
you want to do the imposSibe-that
is, you want to change your type of
physique. which is that of a tall, well
built girl. to the physical type of a
naturally small-boned, underdeveloped
young woman. You are not over
weight for a healthy girl of your age
and height. If the swimming and
exercise are to do your figure any
good, you must give regular times to
them every week. Swim twice a week
and attend a gymnasium class one
evening a week if you are employed
during the daytime. Spend as much Of
your week ends as possible in active
outdoor exercise. Walk four or five
miles each day. If you lead seden-
tary life. you also may need special
hip-reducing exercise, such as the fol-
lowing: Lie on one side on the floor
and swing your legs vigorously as
| though YOU were walking fast. The

10 were studying something. Murphy
had completed a course in dentistry,
but couldn't practice, for the reason
that he had no money to set himself
up in business. Well. "Murph" blew
into town yesterday, appearing corpu-
lent and opulent. He deserves a story.
Murphy never had any luck until he
had wreck. One night shortly after
leaving Buffalo Murphy's train side
slipped into ditch. When the res
cucrs found Murphy they had to un-
wind him from ribbon of iron piping
and separate him from a pane of win
dow glass. Murphy smiled upon being
lifted from the debric.
Several months later his smile be-
came a laugh, for he received $500
for his injuries. With this sum
"Murph" began the practice Of his be-
loved dentistry, and he is seeing

breaks" as the boys say.

One can imagine how the silver and
crystal and dainty china sparkle.
This kitchen has very striking
color scheme, which was borrowed
from the breakfast china. The walls
are clear, pale green. The table and
chairs are dove gray, with landings
of turquoise blue. The cupboards are
lined with blue and the inside of each
cupboard door has a gayly painted de-
sign in rose red and green. The cur
tains are turquoise blue and the

to negotiate a better clearance. Just
as he did so, another driver spied the
vacant spot and shot into it. Each of
the motorists was accompanied by a
lady. but this deferred neither from
engaging in an interesting contro-
verSy
Il suppose you rate yourself as a
gentleman" said the first motOrist.
"Yeh. What about it?" replied the
second.
"Well, you're a road hog" said the
first.
"Yeh! What about it?" replied the
second.
"You saw me trying to get in here
and vet you delberat tely drove into
this space" said the first.
"Yeh, What about it," reiterated
the second. BY this time a dozen per-
sons had gathered to witness the
affair.
"You are just one of those guys
who would 'gyp' his grandmother
out Of her last dime" said the first
driver in a more or less vain attempt
to squelch the other.
"Yeh, What about it?" returned
the second driver.
Obviously the road hog" was inn
nune to the bawling out. For per-
haps 10 minutes the verbal battle
ragged on the part of the first driver,
even though the only response was,
"Yeh! What about it?" The anus
ing climax occurred, though, when it
was discovered that the second driver
had fiat tire which was caused by
running over a board filled with nails,
said board being in the gutter Of the
space into which the party of the
second part parked himself.

Twice year, one might say almost
by the clock, Sir Charles Higham
visits America and Washington. Sir
Charles is a handsome, gray. haired
fellow, who might easily procure a
job at Hollywood. His offices in Kings
Way, London, are unique. Immedi-
ately back Of his spacious desk a real
fireplace offers a glowing welcome to
the visitor. Charles Higham was
knighted for his services to his coun-
try during the great war. His pen
was mighty during that colossal con-
flict. He induced thousands to join
the colors through his advertising
sense. A few years ago he ran for
Parliament and was elected. His op-
pOnent charged that Higham had
never fought in a war nor smelled
powder. Sir Charles listened to the
attack with amused interest Then
Sir Charles took up the cudgels in his
own defense. He produced his honor
able discharge from the United States
Army. He had fought in the Spanish
American War. Prior to that event
he had lived in the States for 16 years.
