PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE


Girls and women are more disposed
than boys and men to yaric0sities, by
reason of their unhygientc clothing, !
believe. They should practice abdominal
breathing q few minutes every day.
This little health habit has brought
relief to thousands of young women.
This abdominal breathing exercise was
introduced 10 years ago by Dr. Celia
Duel MosheT. health adviser to STAN
ford University women. l have reiayed
DR.. Mosher's suggestion to q great
many young woman readers and from
their comments on the effects OF the
habit I am sure 10 Is q valuable one
Purely on theory ! recommend the
same exercise TO any one who has
varicosities.
The Mosher habit: Undress or remove
all restricting clothing Lie on your
back, with knees drawn up. Rest your
right hand on your abdominal wall
Take slow. deep breath, and try
TO see how high you can lift the hand
by expansion as you draw In the air.
Hold the breath . moment. then
slowly expire. and try to see how low
the hand will fall as you expel the air
through nose, or nose and mouth II
your nose is not normal.
Repeat from 40 to 30 times at each
seanee Avoid all hasty efforts. and
avoid all fake expansion-that Is, strive
only for such real expansion as will
happen naturally with natural breath
ing.
Do not interrupt this health habit al
any time unless. your doctor advises It,

Smartest of Evening Silhouettes
BY MARY MARSHALL.

Another thing in It's favor Ia that II
really Is original. Usually So.called
new silhouettes are merely rcvivals Of
something that has gone before. The

skirts borrow from 1880. There have
been empire and directoire Silhouettes,

its effect Of graceful. sweeping motion.
is really without precedent In the his
tory of costume.
The freck shown in the sketch is of
black georgette and the fiaring train
was made without any sort of stiffen-
ing Sometimes such rufIies are mount
ed on a foundation Of light crinoIine
and in some of the new frocks starch
ed" chiffon is used for the flares and
rufles with unstarched chiffon for the
rest of the frock

When Tom Allen sold his house to

essence Of this contract"
The settlement of the transaction
had been scheduled, In the informal
writing Allen had prepared, for so days
from date. The period was one month
over and Ellis had still neglected to
make Anal payment. Allen himself had
arranged to buy another house when
he had sold his old home and the delay
was proving irksome.
Consulting an attorney for advice in
the premises, Allen was informed as
follows.
When time is made of the essence
in a contract to sell land or business
IL means that both the seller and pur-
chaser must be ready to conclude the

The little girl, poor child. was once

change his clothes ON the stairs. He
never wore his black garb in his home
