Weight and Measurements.

Dear Miss Leeds: Please tell me what
are the correct weight and other meas
urements for 16-year-old girl who is
S feet 2 inches tall. A. B.
Answer-The average weight for your
age and height is 1l3 pounds. This
does not mean that all girls of this age
and height must weigh the same and
measure the same in order to be nor
NAL If you happen to be more heavily
built than the average, that Is, If your
bones and muscles are large, 1t is per-
fectly natural for you to weigh more
than 113 pounds. If you have an ex-
ceptionally slight figure with small
bones. your weight and measurements
should be less than the average Here
are good measurements for the average
girl: Neck. 1914: bust and hips, 80;
waist, 25; thigh, l9: calf. 13; ankle, 7la.

neels on my shoes over an inch and
half high. Is this too high? I am
10 years old. How can reduce INV
calves? ET.0PENCE
Answer-It is not uncommon for thin
glr. to have large legs. If you develop
the rest OF your body your legs will not
seem too large, however. II the calves
are not more than II inches around I
would not worry about them. To make
the leg muscles firm and well knit, take
a Tour or five mile hike every dav
When hiking wear comfortable shoes
with nat heels no higher than one and
one-Quarter inches. When you do not
intend to do much walking or standing
you may wear the higher heels, which
are dreSsier. Vigorous kicking and
knee-bending exercises are also good for
the calf muscles. Do heel-raising exer-
cises and skipping. LOIS LEEDS.

as though they have been badly bruised

about these pains. They may be caused

One mother says:

One mother says:
One day when my son whined and
repeated numerous excuses why he
could not possibly do an errand for me,
I calmly said: "Oh, very WELL" and
proceeded to find a neighbor lad who
was free and glad to be of service. OF
course, there was a bit or remembrance
for the new errand boy, and my own
son at his important game saw the pres
entation and heard the hearty way in
which the other boy declared he was
pleased to help me out This lesson was
far more beneficial than if had forced

shapeless. You must build up your
weight nearer to normal and then your
limbs will have graceful lines. The

excessive underweight. Drink quart
