Fashions of Today
Child's Hair.

All mothers are divided into two dis
tinct classes so far IS their taste In
babies Is concerned. There are those
who vastly prefer . baby with q well
established crop Of hair on his pate and
those who think little baby doesn't
look quite right unless he starts out
almost bald. And, of course, the point
OF view all depends on whether or not
ones own baby started out bald or hair
crowned.
Many women make q desperate strus-
gle with their children's hair, feeling
that somehow by constant attention,
rubbing, maSsaging and other Great

done to increase the growth of the hair,
but nature dispoSes Of these matters to

to keep child In as good health as
possible. Undernourishment does more
than lack of brushing to make hair
scant and stringy. And, Of course, curli-
ness OF hair is matter disposed Of
by heredity.
Some people seem to think that If the
hair Is brushed straight back from the
forehead it will tend to make 1t scant
above the temples. They incline to
think that the bobbed hair should he

caught rather loosely back In o CLIP or

children never look more winsome than

the correct amount necessary to make
ankles shapely. Unfortunately, there
are women whose ankles seem to have
tendency toward acquiring huge de-
posits Of fat, even though the rest of
the leg and body Is fairly shapely. Nat
urally, such q deposit Of excess fat
makes not only the ankle appear bulky
and ungainly, but it also detracts from
the beauty Of the entire figure.
These deposits of excess fat may be
removed by faithful exercise and by
daily massage. Please note that the
exercises must be faithful" for while
the treatments are by no means COM
plicated, the results are rather slow in
coming and milady must be willing pa
tiently to 60 through these exercises
every day II she desires results. Here
are few exercises which are very eff
fective toward building the shapely, trim
ankle necessary to an attractive figure
Exercise /. Stand on your tiptoes and
stretch upward until every muscle in
the foot and ankle responds, counting
up to 100. Practice 1t every day and
then walk around the room on the tips
Of your toes as long as possible.
Exercise 2. Stand erect, hands on hips
and heels together. Rise ON your toes,
inhaling slowly. Bend knees, sinking
thus to q half squatting position, and
legs, inhaling as you rise until you are
standing erect on your tiptoes; hold the
position for 10 counts and then lower
your heels. Repeat 20 times.
Exercise 8. After you have gained
control Of your leg muscles try the full
knee bend, lowering the body to a
squatting position used in the Russian
folk dance. Rise, inhaling as you do
so, until you are standing erect on your
tirfnAg hold fha Ya0SitiAYH fer IN N0IYVfr
and lower your heels as in exercise
above. Repeat 20 times. After you
have practiced these exercises execute
the following steps: Fold arms on chest,
rise on toes and bend knees deeply.
Extend right leg forward with heel OIL
the floor and toe pointed upward. With
q slight hop change the position Of the
legs quickly, so that the left leg is ex-
tended in front while the right one is
doubled up under you. Repeat the
quick leg changing with snappy mo-
ton 10 to 20 times.
Exercise 4. Do different dance steps
around the room, keeping on the toes
while doing them. If it is possible, have
music with these exercises, as music
and rhythm help to make. exercises en-
joyable.
Exercise 5. Sit erect on a chair and
point the foot with an upward curve,
describing Q circle, not with the leg so
much Is the foot, bringing all the
muscles into play. Do this first with
the left foot, and then with the right
foot, in order to rest the muscles. Per-

Dainty Ankles.

The woman who would be beautiful
has always been more or less concerned
about the appearance of her ankles.
At the present time, when knees have
run to cover, this part Of the figure
comes in for even more attention.
Mere slimness Is not absolute aSsur-

are inclined to havel large bones will
have ankles which are especially angu-
lar and ungfaceful unless they have a
Suficient padding of flesh. Even those
with small bones will find that Just the

make ankles as pretty as possible.
