with sable fur on the full tail Of the
Jacket, in the shawl collar and in the
huge cuffs, was Dorothy Dwan.
A rich brown shade in shoes and hat

hair and clear skin as the Dwan pos

A very smart creature in oxford gray
cloth with seal collar rolling clear down
to the end Of the jacket watched the
parade with an indulgent eye. She
turned a moment later and proved to
be Louise Fazenda.
A quite long skirt was made with
pleats and a hip yoke, and very dignifieo
foot wear of gun metal kid and suede

Time was when little red-headed girls

Exercises for Knees.

do you think the women will really
accept the latest style edict and 60 back
to longer skirts?" This was the ques-
ton which fashion expert was asked
recently. well, suppose it depends
somewhat on milady's knees" was her
illuminating reply, those with attrac-
tive knee joints may cling stubbornly to
the shorter skirts, while those with ugly,
ill-shaped knees will hail the new mode
with joy"
She may be right, and as the knee
joints are seldom a particularly graceful
part of milady's figure, perhaps she
should greatly rejoice that now she will
have a chance to keep them in hiding
again. But whether ones knees can
be seen or not they demand some at
tention, as the way the knees are held
has more to do with ones figure than
is usually realized. Holding them in
correctly may cause a protruding abb
domen, a hollow or round back.
A simple rule for correct position OF
the knees will be neither curved back
ward nor bent forward and their
straight up-and-down position will not
only make the knee joints themselves
as graceful as is possible for that part
of ones anatomy, but will also help to
keep the figure at its very best.
No woman wants to be old, but the
woman who really means to keep young
must see TO 1t that her body keeps sup
pie, and she must pay particular at
tention to keeping her knees flexible;
for grace of movement in walking,
standing and seating oneself depends
largely on the responsiveness of the
muscles and tendons controlling the
knees. The following exercise should be
done at least 10 times day to promote
supple and graceful knee action. Stand
with both feet turned slightly outward,
one foot advanced little In front.
Rise on the balls of the feet, then slowly
flex the knees deeply; rise up again,
lower the heels. Repeat.
Many readers write asking FOR special
exercises for correcting bowlegs and
knockkneeS, Unfortunately, 1t takes
more than exercises to correct these de-
fects, for they are a bone condition.
If the deformity is very great its cure
should be put in the hands of ply
sician But in most cases there Is only
slight tendency toward these condi-
lions and then the best course Is to
accept 1t and cease worrying about 1t.
Quite likely those so afflicted will hail
the new mode Of longer skirts with
delight.
The position assumed when stand
ing has much to do with the appear
ance of bowed legs. Standing with
heels together emphasizes the curve

Snuff, music and dogs were passions
with Frederick the Great Of Prussia.
Marshal Conway, q British visitor,
reports that in the kings favorlte resi-
dence he saw on a table in his cab

each; in his bedchamber twice as many
boxes of snuff; and, alike in cabinet
and bedchamberr, three armchalrs IN
a row for three favorite dogs, each with
a little stool by way of step, that get
ting up might be easy"
Frederick had a higher regard for
dogs than for women.
After ALL" he said, "a Marquise de
Pompadour would cost me great deal
more and would be neither as attached
nor as faithful"
He fed his pets with his own hands,
nursed them when they were Ill, and
when they died buried them in his
gardens.
The death of Alcmena. a favorite
greyhound, Frustrated him with grief.
He would not let the body be taken
away until buriel was absolutely neces-
Sary.
"Old Fritz" as Frederick was nick
named by the people, was so contemptu-
Gus of the human race that he ex-
pressed a wish for his own buriel to
be with his dogs.

Trailing draperies and long lines are
accepted by even the accessories worn
with gowns this year. Notable among
these are the decorative handkerchiefs
fashionable to carry with evening dress.
These handkerchiefs are generally of
georgette, chiffon or some other dia-
phanous material. They are truly fairy
like In their appearance.
Since such handkerchiefs may either
contrast or match the dress with which
they are worn. they may be of the very
material Of the gown if the latter is of
very light texture. In purchasing the
goods for a gown, therefore, little
more than that absolutely required can
be bought, so as to allow for one Of
these smart n1ouchoirs.
The proportions of these handker-
chiefs for formal use are several times
those Of the regulation handkerchief.
They may be IS inches or more In
length and breadth. Some of them are
