mature. She liz nervous, narrow chest
ed, round shouldered and she tires
easily. Her poor physique stands in
the way of social as well as business
success, because a tired, drab, nerv-
Gus woman is never attractive.
A girl should be full of life and en-
thusiasm in her 20s. II she is not.
the usual reason is that she does not
eat wisely or get sufficient outdoor
exercise or rest. The remedy is sim
pie. Sedentary workers need daily ex-
ercise To keep them healthy. Setting
up exercises should be taken for at
least 10 minutes night and morning.
A daily walk and some form of out
door exercise during week ends should
ne planned for. The underweight girl
may not be able to walk far at first
without fatigue, but she should begin
with one mile a day and gradually in
crease the distance to four or five

Ornamental Needlework Baskets
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

larly mentioned because both are large
enough to he kept when folded in a
basket. They do not lend themselves
to being stuffed" into a work bag.
There are kinds OF work best housed
in bag before their completion and
in considering a container for fancy
work the nature Of the work itself
should be a decisive factor.
Advantages.
There are two reasons why baskets
are particularly good. One is their
convenience and the other is their pop
ularity today. Fancy baskets have
many uses besides being work con
tanners and it is not necessarily a sign
of domestiCity TO have them about as
at one time. They have become fea
lures Of decoration as we'll as practical
containers They may add to rather
than detract from the appearance of a
table, window ledge or dresser.
Convenience.
IT is Of Importance to see to il that
the basket for pickup fancy work is
left where it is handiest, near a chair
comfortable TO sink into when tired
from household tasks. or by the bed
if YOU wish to take few stitches be
fore dropping into siumber.
The Cover.
The desirGbility of a cover should ne
emphasized Unless it is something
very ornamental. such as fruit or
flowers which a basket contains. it is
better for the sake OF beauty to make
certain of n pleasing effect by having
an attractive cover to the basket
This has a fortunate feature from an
other standpoint. as it serves to pro
tect from dust any delicate needlework
that is inside
Decoration.
IT requires no special skill, either in
painting or designing to decorate a
basket, for d mere application of a
coat of paint OF color to be pleas sing
in the surroundings where it is to be
used may be sufficient. Silk or felt
flowers may be glued. or caught with
thread to the side and cover. Raffia
IN contrasting tones may be employed
