to Gain Weight" explains diet and
exercises that will be helpful to you.
Besides eating the right foods and
taking moderate exercise to stimulate
your circulation, you should cultivate
a placid disposition. Many women
keep themselves thin by nervousness
and worry. You must also have suf-
ficient sleep each night. There Is no
magic formula by which one may de-
velop a skinny figure into a well pro-
portioned one, but one must work in
natures way toward physical per-
lection. (2} The slow rate OF growth
of your hair is probably due to your
underweight and general lack of
physical fitness. Excessive oiliness of
the scalp may also be traced to the
same underlying cause. Build up
radiant health, my dear, and most of
your beauty problems will solve them
selves. Massage your scalp for at
least 10 minutes day. You may use
the following tonic on your scalp twice
a week before the MASSAGE: One ounce
bay rum, grams quinine sulphate,
Is drops tincture of capsicum, l dram
tincture cantharides. l ounce cologne
water, ! ounce distilled water. (3) I
do not recommend the daily use of
mascara because it is almost sure to
get into the eyes now and then and
lnf1ame them. When 1t is used ii
should be removed thoroughly at bed
time with vaseline. 1t Is a better plan
to darken your lashes slowly by using
olive oil or vaseline on them every
day; this will not. of course, make
them dark brown II they are natur.

them darker than they were origi-

Your Baby and Mine
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Because there is so much interest
in food these days, it is natural that
the prospective mother should also
take serious considerable of her needs.
However, she should not make the
mistake of becoming a food faddist or
of starving herself of fatmaking
foods, in order that she may reduce
the weight of the child and make the
birth easier.
1t is extremely serious for mother
to omit fat-making foods from her
diet in order to bear a thinner child.
1t is equally as bad to omit limerick
foods in order that the bones may be
soft" Nature has a way of circum-
venting this last effort by taking the
necessary lime from the mothers sup
ply in order that the baby may not
suffer: but in the case of the carbo
hydrates, the energy foods, whose sur
plus is stored as fat. failure to give the
body a sufficient supply of these will
result in real injury, If carried to
excess.

go to make up an adequate diet. She
need not overeat Of anything. She
must supply her body with some Of

hydrates, fats and minerals. and she
can do this without any mental eff

Question of Knees.

The question as to the proper length
petual bone Of contention between the
conservatives and those who consider
themselves modern Once it was
immodest to show ones ankles; now,
even grandmothers are abandoning
long skirts. One wonders whether
the knee will soon be as freely exposed
as the ankle is.
OF course, no one objects to short
skirts and socks that expose the knees
of children, but when a girl is over
feet tall and still clings to "bobbed
hose" as the short stockings for large
girls are sometimes called, there are
many who disapprove. From the
standpoint of health and comfort alb
breviated skirts and socks are better
than long stockings that have to be
held up by hose supports hanging
from shoulders or hips The round
garter is also bad. The sock should
have a firm knitted cuff at the top to
keep 1t In place above the calf of the
leg.
The knee Joint is not so beautifully
formed as the ankle. 1t is likely to be
knobby on slender people and too fat
on overweights. The skin covering
the knee when exposed becomes rough
and discolored like the elbow, unless
it is massaged and bleached regularly
There is nothing pretty about scaly.
lumpy knee. Even when it is de-
corously covered by a long stocking,
the contour of the knee is not attrac-
tive and in the interests of beauty Il
should not be mercflessly exposed to
view.
The fat knee is perhaps the most
unsightly. There is a bunch of muscle
on the inside and the whole joint is
swathed in fat. ! am often asked

walking is excellent for the purpose
Here are few exercises that may be
done for about 10 minutes night and
morning:
Exercise stand erect with hands
on hips. Raise the right leg out to the
side as high as you can. Bend the
knee sharply and bring the foot behind
the knee of the left leg. Straighten
the right knee and bend the leg bring

with vigorous kick and repeat 20
times.
Exercise 2-Stand erect with heels
together and toes pointed far out to
each side. Hands out at shoulder
level. Bend knees deeply, hold the po.
sition a moment and then rise. Repeat
20 times.
Exercise 3--Stand erect, one hand on
hip, the other resting on the back of
a chair. Raise one knee obliquely for
ward. point the toe down and rotate
the lower part of the leg in wide cir
cles, keeping the knee fixed. Rotate
10 times in each direction.

My House.

There is no such joyous sound in
childhood's world as the triumph and
shout of my house." He is safe and
in his voice rings the deep joy of
one, who, threatened by danger. has
escaped to the secure refuge of home.
Every child is entitled to know and
feel the security of home wrapping
him about like a mantle dropped by
ministering angels. Home offers the
cropping, weary, often fearing child
the security he must find If life is
to be in the least bearable.
Many a child does not find this Sc.
curity to which we all agree he is en-
titled by the very fact of his birth.
How can one feel secure if the rock
upon which he set his faith shifts
under him. How can he feel safe If
the father or the mother a child
trusted betrays him?
No parent would. Not knowingly.
but unwittingly, many do. A child
runs in to his mother breathless with
a tale of discovery. He is sure his
mother is going to be as thrilled as he
is. In full confidence he shouts.
Look. mother, see what I got" and
he holds up a very dead bird for his
mothers delighted inspection.
