girls or women whose bony frame
work Is naturally big. Loss of normal
weight makes such people look gaunt
rather than slim with the slenderness
of youth. The large girl should there
fore think twice before she embarks
on a reducing program. She should
realize that her type of figure should
be developed, to be most beautiful,
along the Vines of the Venus de Milo
instead of those of the modern happer.
Nature gives each of us definite
type of beauty, but when we try to
make ourselves over in imitation of
a different type the result is always
failure.
For the naturally sturdy, big girl,
being true to her type means keeping
her weight i'm correct proportion to
her age, height and natural build.
During the teens some degree Of over
weight is usual for this type, but it
should not be allowed to develop into
bulkiness in maturity. Thinness is
just as unbecomtng as excess of fat
when ones bones are thick and long.
Given her correct weight, the large
girls most pressing beauty problems
are the selection OF suitable clothes
and the cultivation of a graceful pos
ture. These two points can make or
mar her beauty. Incorrect posture
increases the girth of her body just
where it needs to he kept in, at bust
and abdomen, and also causes double

Since her feet and hands are usually
large, the choice of gloves and foot
wear Is an important item. Not only

HIM. 1t was a long watch and most
tantalizing one. You see. every now
and then a Merry Little Breeze would
dance along and blow down some
feathers. Just seeing those feathers
made Reddy so hungry that it seemed
to him he just couldn't keep still.
But he did, and in the end he was
rewarded. He saw Hooty fly away in
a certain direction, and he knew by
the way in which he flew that Hooty
was headed for q particular place.
Ordinarily Hooty would fly to one of
his favorite watch towers and there
sit, every once in a while hooting to
frighten any Of the little people who
might be near at hand. This is his
favorite trick BY hooting suddenly
and very loud he startles the little
feathered and furred folk who may
be near by. Then they are very apt
to move ever so little, and his Won
derful ears catch the faint sounds,
which tell where they are. But this
time Hooty was not headed toward
any of his favorite watch towers. He
was flying in a very determined way
and in a way which indicated that he
was going some distance.
Reddy arose, yawned and then trot-
ted off i'm the direction Hooty had
taken. Already he guessed where
Hooty was bound for. You see. Reddy
knows all the country for a long dis
lance around He knows exactly
where every farm is and where each
building is. So he knew by the direc-
ton Hooty had taken that he was
heading toward a certain farm some
distance away. 1t was late in the
afternoon, almost dusk.
Those chickens ought to be shut up
by the time he gets there" thought
Reddy as he trotted along. "He prob
ably got that chicken this morning
when the hens were first let out. He
doesn't know much about hens or he
wouldn't be fooling round over there
now. 1t will be dark by the time he
gets there and they will have all gone
to bed. / think I'll keep on over there
just the same, thought, for 1t may be
there is a way into that henhouse.
1t is long time since I've been over
there, very long time. In fact. /
had quite forgotten chose hens. am
much obliged to HOoty for reminding
me of them"

knowledge.

Doris asks a perfectly natural ques-
ton when she wants TO know what
good it will do her to gain knowledge
of books and pictures and music.
She says that you can't air such
learning in the presence of the modern
boys. for fear they'll consider you a
bluestocking.
Doris has read a lot and picked up
a few good ideas. She has theories
and loves to talk about them.
Occasionally, when a crowd of
young people has been gathered
around the fire, talking and laughing
some one has venturcd a remark OPP
posed to one of Doris pet theories.
Instantly, because she's interested,
she has broken out into speech-ear-
nest, intelligent speech on the subject
near to her heart.
She's told carefully how she feels
and why she feels that way--and her
young friends have stared at her in
blank amazement, while she poured
forth fiery oratory.
When she's finished there has been
an awkward pause. Boys and girls
have looked at each other agnih'
cantly.
Presently Nell, the wisecracker of
the party, has remarked, We'll, now
that we know all about that, have
you any other remarks you would
care to address to the meeting, Doris2''
OF course, that's embarrassed the
earnest young speaker terribly.
She tells me that after few snubs
of that sort she's come to the conclu-
sion that the less you read the better.
"All the good my books have done
me is to earn me ridicule. I'm going
to try to forget them and become just
a beautiful dumb-bell."
You're a dumb-bell' right now, Doris
"a full fledged one-if you think that
what you've learned from books will
never do you any good.
Why, you're understanding people
better every day, because your read.
ing is giving you vision and sympathy.
You're bound to make friends faster
when you begin to understand what
people are all about.
You mustn't think that all the world
despises a girl who likes to think now
and then-just because a fireside
group of kids laughed at you.
You couldn't expect to break in on
their mood Of gay fiippancy with a
heavy speech and receive thanks and
praise for 1t.
You might have known they'd re-
sent your dragging the conversation
into serious topics. Young people like
to be silly when they're all together,
and you must be silly with them.
But the chances are that several of
the people in that party, if alone with
you, would have been willing to dis
cuss things intelligently and earnestly.
You most choose your time carefully
for advancing weighty theories. You
must pick your companions, too.
But you mustn't give up loving
books and other beautiful things be-
cause you feel lack of sympathy In
your young friends.

which finds a benefic star dominant.
Women are well directed under
this configuration. The rule is most
fortunate for romance. and it gives
to be a strong reaction toward senti-
ment and love making of the poetic
sort. it is foretold.
Great extremes are to mark the
coming months, when women will
dress in the most masculine manner
or will return to the most feminine
attire, the trend being in favor OF
what Is artistic and picturesque.
Astrologers say that the recent
reign of short skirts and cropped hair
is but q sign of preparation for many
sorts of public service, made necessary
by world upheavals.
Theaters are to continue to multi
ply. for the drama is to serve as a
reconciling force during times in
which men and women suffer severe
life experience.
Music is to become more and more
a solace of all the people, and orches-
tras, as well as bands, should prosper.
Again there is to be renewed in
terest on the part of women in all
the household arts.
Persons whose birth date 1t Is have
the augury of a year in which much
love Is expressed.
Children born on that day are likely
to be visionary and fond of occult
studies. They should be diverted to-
ward practical interest.

There are elephants. eagles, ducks,
ostriches, owls, dogs, cats and many
others to choose from. These interest
ing handles may be found ready at
tached to some of the less expensive
umbrellas, though the woman who
spends lavishly on such details as her
umbrellas selects a handle from the
jewelry shop first and then has it at
tached to an umbrella of the size and
color she desires.
Shortness still seems to be a virtue
in umbrellas. The long, thin ferrule
is but seldom found, and there is
japanese look to the tip of most of the
new umbrellas. 1t A:ed to be the Gus
tom to stand umbrellas up in racks
when not in use, and hence the long
ferrule. Now every umbrella is pro-
vided with a cord, which serves to
pass around the wrist when the UNI
brella is carried or to use as a loop by
which it may be hung when not in
use.

But neither Hooty nor Mrs. Hooty
seemed inclined TO fly. You see. they
had been hunting long and hard and
they were tired. Now that they had
plenty for the babies at present, they
decided 10 rest. Reddy was impa-
tient, but long ago he learned that
impotence seldom gets him anything.

Problems of the Large Girl.

1t cannot be denied that the girl
with a slight figure looks younger
than the one constructed on more
generous scale, and this fact is caus-
ing unhappiness to some of my read
ers who are large and we'll built. 1t
is only the young girl in her early
teens who likes to look more mature
than she is; the rest of us do not
relish being taken for older women.
And this feeling accounts in large
part for the popularity of various re-
ducing systems. Subtraction of
weight is often equivalent to a de-
duction of years from milady's ap-
pearonce.
But this simple mathematical for
mula does not hold true in the case of

girl needs substantial, roomy shoes II
she wishes to avoid flatfoot, bunions
and other foot troubles.
Dark blue is one of the most be-
coming colors for the type we are
discussing. 1t makes smart cos

crepe, georgette, twill. jersey or cash

for making the large girl seem more
slender. Medium and light colors in
neutral tones are permissible for Sum

fireplace is on one of the long walls.
These two short sofas. however do

effective against the room walls
which are painted a light shade of
old blue. This use of blue on the
walls is distinctive because It is I'M
usual. and the room is too sunny to
allow the blue walls to give the room
cold appearance.

Handles Of some of the new UNI
brellas serve a double purpose. They
may hide a lipstick and mirror, or a
mirror and powder puff while the lip
stick is hidden in the tassel of the
umbrella. Some of them serve as
cigarette cases.
But this idea Of giving the umbrella
another use beside that of keeping off
the rain in case of a shower is not
as new as you may suppose. Some
one pointed out the other day that in
