Diplomatic Dinner at White House

At last the chiefs of for

and their wives are to have

House. For this evening the
President and Mrs. Hoover
will entertain at the annual
diplomatic dinner in their
honor.
The dinner was scheduled
for last week but was post
poned owing to the absence
Of the Chief Executive and
First Lady from the city.
The annual reception to
the members Of Congress
originally had been planned
for this evening but that,
too, was, postponed when
the White House party left
for the South.
The Congressional recep-
ton will take place Thurs
day Of next week, cards
having been sent out this
morning.
After Easter
Usually the most brilliant Of
the annual levees, the diplo-
matte reception has not vet
taken place and, according to
rumor, may not be held this
year. r
The remaining four are sched-
uled to take place in March, but
It is rumored thta they will be
postponed until after Easter,
promising an unusually brilliant

EQUINE Farewell

Wha was regarded as very signifi-
cant incident and a sad farewell to the
horse, at least as far as the cities are
concerned, was an auction sale of a
long-establiShed livery business in New
York known as Bickmann's, which took
place few days ago. The business
was started 60 years ago by the father
of the present proprietor with one
horse, but it was not very long before
he had large number Of horses and
many equipages of all kinds which
were called for by the fashionable
clientele which patrOnized Bickmann's.
His drove numbered at one time more
than 100 animals, but in recent years
the demands for horse-drawn vehicles
has dwindled and the business of the
stable declined to such an extent that
it offered no profitable returns and the
present Bickmann decided regretfully
to go out of business.

Importance Of Good Posture


prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Good posture throughout her active
day is matter of more importance to
the homemaker than she may realize.
1t makes all the difference between
WEAKNESS and freshness when her
work is done. Faulty ways of stand
ing and sitting cause much unneces-
sary fatigue, backache, tired feet, and
general feeling of slump which
must be quite out of proportion TO
the amount of work done. If bad pos
ture becomes habitual the spine may
be affected. the shoulders become,
round" the ankles may have a ten
dency to run over" or other defects
may develop Sometimes these are
sufficiently serious to cause displace-
ment or cramping of internal organs
leading to many physical ailments.
1t is fairly easy TO catch oneself
STOPPING unnecessarily over the sink.
the kitchen table. the wash tubs, or
ironing board. Sometimes a little ad
justment i'm the height of these work
ing surfaces is what is needed. Good
sitting posture is often neglected be-
cause a natural tendency to relax iD
a chair if one is already somewhat
tired. Putting the feet squarely on
the floor and sitting with the base of
the spine well back. helps to throw
other parts of the body into good sit
ting position.
Perhaps the least noticeable and
most frequent tendency to slump the
shoulders and chest and thrust the
hips out of place occurs when one is
doing work that requires continuous
standing, sweeping or mopping, cook
ing at the stove. and so on. When
one is making some dish which must
be stirred constantly" ii is easy TO
forget about posture and allow the
body to sag.
