Of us are too slow physically for our
own good.
Skipping rope, rowing on an indoor
rowing machine and somersaulting
are pre3cribed for keeping college
boys physically fit by a Swedish ath-
letic coach with whom / was talking
recently. These forms of exercise are
also fine for girls. The first is espe-
cially good for our purpose. because It
is not too hard and it is familiar to
all. The skipping may be varied to
avoid monotony.
Skip first on one foot for several
counts. then change to the other. Now
skip on the toes. raising knees very
high hat each jump and pointing toes.
Skip around in a. circle to the right
and then go in the opposite direction.
For indoor work where there is not
much room one may exercise with an
imaginary skipping rope. Nothing
could be easier.
Wear light clothing while exercising,
unless you need to reduce greatly, and
keep the windows wide open. If con-
venient, skip to music from a phono-
graph or radio. Play at being a little
girl again, and before long you will be
expressing youthfulness in your face,
figure and JOY I'm living.

they were caught under this crust,

had soft snow for so long that l am
afraid they had formed the habit of
plunging down into it to sleep. If
they did that last night, they surely
were caught by this crust. Oh dear, |
wish / knew where to look for them. :"
He couldn't get Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse
out of his thoughts. He was still
| thinking of them as he tramped along
the edge of the Old Orchard. Sud
denly he stopped. He stopped and
stood perfectly still. Over in one of
the Oldest trees in the Old Orchard,
well out where the smaller twigs grew,
were two big birds. He could hear the
tirrkle OF tiny bits Of ice falling. He
knew those big birds instantly, of
course. They We're Mr.. Grouse and
Mrs. Grouse?
They are budding. exclaimed Farm
er Browns Boy under his breath.
They are eating the buds on the
apple tree. My, it does me good to
see them. There may not be as many
apples on that tree next year, but
don't care. I'm glad they had sense
enough to come over here. Yes, sir,
I'm glad they had sense enough to re-
member these apple trees and come
over here. IT must be pretty hard
picking for them now with all that ice
on the buds; but If the sun comes out
and guess it's going to-the ice will
melt from these trees over here in the
Old Orchard sooner than 1t will from
the trees over there in the Green
Forest"
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse saw Farm
er Browns Boy Do you think they
few away? Not bit of it. They just
went right on chipping the ice off
those buds and then picking off the
buds and eating them. They knew
that not for the world would Farmer
Browns Boy harm them. So they
calmly continued with their breakfast.
What they didn't know was that they
were doing any harm. They didn't
know that that apple tree would have
fewer apples because of the budding
they were doing. No, sir, they didn't
know anything about that. To them a
tree was a tree, no matter where it
grew.
SO Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse went on
eating buds as fast as they could.
Farmer Browns Boy continued on to
the big red barn. Do you know what he
was going for? He was going for
buckwheat. He understood the need
of Mr.. and Mrs. Grouse and he was
going for buckwheat

BEAUTY CHATS
Thick Eyelashas.

IT your eyelashes look a little thin
or short. there is one way to make
them seem thicker than they really
are. That Is 10 cover them with Ordi-
nary cold cream OF petroleum, This
makes them glossy, SO they are much
more noticeable: also 1t makes them
look heavier. And If they are only
medium dark. 1t actually makes them
several shades darker and therefore
more prominent.

Mix this with Il little cold cream or a

set black cream. Take a very small
amount of this between your thumb
and forefinger and spread 1t over the
lashes. 1t darkens thepl their full
length, which makes them seem much
heavier and much longer than they
were.
What it actually does is to make
visible the full length of the hairs.

scheme. and. If desired, even the small
tin containers can share in the trans
formation.
All That Is Needed.
White paint and a small paintbrush,
are the first requisites. The cans to
be painted should be stood on their
heads" while the painting process is
going on, so that the paint will not
drip inside. The paint should be well
sth red with wooden stick in order
to NIX il evenly before it is applied
TO the surface. Enamel paint or var
nish Is needed for the final coat
Two coats of paint and one of enam-
Ell will give a finish that will wear a
long time. Or varnish can be used in
stead oil the enamel paint. Use the
kind that is not damaged by hot water,
for the containers must be washed
often enough to keep them bright and
shining.
Porcelain Finish.
If you wish to have the marvelously
smooth finish found in the white con
tanners in the stores, extra pains must
be taken. After each coat of paint has
thoroughly dried 1t must be rubbed
down with fine sandpaper. This takes
evenneSs in the surface. Wash the
container after sandpaperng, so that
there are no particles to get into the
next application of paint. Even the
final coat of varnish or enamel must
have this sandpa perinG lightly done
or brush strokes will be visible.
Final Treatment.
AIoisten a cloth with furniture pol
ish and rub the final coat well with II
after SandpaperingS order TO clint
nate any least mark of scratching.
BE sure the sandpaper is of the finest
grade Wooden boxes can be given
this same treatment. If containers
have motifs stenciled on them, or even
if they have lines OF color put about
them in the shade of the color scheme
of kitchen. there is harmony of de-
tail that is effective.

Skipping to Keep Young.

1t is easier to stay young than to
capture youth after it has gone. After
one has lost the art of reacting to life
with youthful enthusiasm it is hard,
though not impossible to retrace ones
steps. The better way is to determine
early to cultivate the habits that keep
mind and body young.
