properly to balance herself.
The picture is from a series Of
charts on good posture prepared by
the extension service of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
These talks on posture include ad-
vice on the proper position for all
sorts of home activities, both out
doors and indoors. The charts indi-
cate by analogy with indoor tasks,
that for garden work, too, such as
digging, wedding, planting, and tasks
that require STOPPING, 1t is possible to
carry on the Job and at the same time
avert the fatigue that comes from
bad position maintained for long
stretches. Work close to the ground,
for example, can be done on kneel-
ing pad, with the back straight and
the shoulders fiat; hoeing and raking
can be done like hopping or sweep
ing, keeping the abdomen and hips in
the correct position and the feet
squarely on the ground. Pruning, wa
tering and gathering garden products
are, similarly, much less fatiguing if
good posture is maintained while car
rying them on.

Fruit Shortcake Is Tempting Dish

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture, )-WNU Service.
When strawberries are over It Is
time to adapt that fayorite of all des-
serts - shortcake - to other fruits.
Nothing is more tempting than a rasp-
berry shortcake, made with the large,
perfect, ripe berries, on foundation
of either biscuit dough type or sponge
cake-whichever happens to be your
preference. Whipped cream, of course,
is the traditional sauce for the top
layer, although the adherents Of the
biscuit school of shortcake often
maintain that no cream at all is need
ed to enhance the taste of this delect-
able dessert.
The bureau of home economics fur
nishes the recipes below for the bis
cult type mixture and sponge cake for
the foundation. Some people, in max
ing the former of short cake, divide
the dough into two thin rounds, and

Chiffon and Sequins in

Chiffon and sequins have come to a
novel agreement for the skirt of an

The chiffon is printed in large pink
roses on a black background. The
sequins agreed to let the roses stay
soft and pink and untouched If they
would agree to let all the black spaces
