0LORIFYINo YOURSELF
By Alicia Hart
3l95S E5 NEA SERVICE INS

The relief stout women may have had when fashion notes spoke out loud about the return of curves was premature, to say the least.
 Certainly no styles ever counted more on good framework to hang new clothes on. Just let yourself accumulate a neat spare tire about your diaphragm and see how squat you look in a trim spring suit.
 Take off that spare, is the first and soundest advice. Eat less food is the only sane way to do it. Go on liquids for breakfast and lunch and then eat sparingly of dinner. Nothing between meals. No fudge sundaes or chocolate eclairs either!
 The second best thing to do is to get the right foundation garments, body gloves, if you please, as the de luxe new corset -brassiere com binations are called.
 Particularly interesting to wo- men with Q little fat is the new brassiere. manufactured by several companies now, that is made of material that gives in both direc- tions so you aren't uncomfortable, yet designed to do the trick of sup porting you in handsome manner.
 If women only realized it, the right brassiere can work wonders. A good one does lot for the stout diaphragm. Wear the right bras siere and you look fiatter through the diaphragm, which all women want to do.
 Another aid to beauty is the good fitting corset or girdle.
 Don't make the mistake of thinking you can drag in your hips until you look slender. when you aren't. You will simply bulge over the top and be fatter than you really are right where you need 1t least.
 However, a well-built founda- tion garment, fitted perfectly, does give you far better line than an ordinary one. If you yearn for n svelt figger. remember the corset or girdle is first essential.

"When can I expect the baby to obey me?" asked the mother of Q seventeen-month-o boy recent ly.
 ,"As you have him on a regular schedule of habit" told her, "he will probably know the difference between obedience and disbedience very soon, by two years of age, I'd say. Sometimes 1t takes longer, of course, when child is living in haphazard surroundsing where he doesn't know what to expect. ing and a regular time for every
 "Then you think set rules of liv- thing make discipline easler?" she inquired.
 1T certainly do. When he learns to expect or accept things as rou- tine, that habit of mind extends to other things. There is a blend there cannot explain exactly, but 1t is the mechanics of life that make for self-control and self-discipline. After all, real discipline begins with self" A Few Negatives ,a Bobby is getting very head strong. He wants an ash-tray and | bdyt 1NO-HOs uOH tVuCu Als AAO looks at me out of the corner of his me closely while his little fingers inch over and touch the tray. l say, No, so,' again, and he hops off but in five minutes or less he is back again and 1t is all to do 0ver."
 When did you start saying,
 "No, no'?" onb o,ass a,,ar .;ooa r.. cn,,1a reach. Before he was a year old. You'd think by this time he's know"
 He will know soon. Give him time. You began at the right age and that is half the battle. unless," added, there have been too many nos and he thinks they do not mean much"
 I'm careful about that" she said. T have put nearly everything out of reach so we won't have set-to every minute about some- thing or other.'
 Exploratory Age That's right" I approved. "For after all he is at the exploratory age when he thinks the whole world belongs to him. No only ap- plies to one things at a time. And he cannot tell the difference yet between the things he can't touch and the things he may. By the way, has he learned any one thing that he must let alone?"
 Then don't worry. For a while he will learn one thing at a time. Then gradually he will learn a command ngative at first then positive, when he hears one. He will probably be three years old before he knows obedience in the abstract-I mean, that he must do what you say. In the meantime you will have to be patient, and go at one thing at a time. Just don't make too many object 1essons--or he will ge impatient. That is what we call thwarted impulse and just about half of all disabedience comes from that. Too many com- mands kill their own purpose"

The formalized print on the left has the new square neckline and two huge buttons mark ing the corners. The other has the huge white organdie bow that many of the best dresses show as a first sign of crisp spring.

 Gordon ?" asked one of the girls "A bathing suit?"
 There was a sudden sally of laughter at this, instantly quelled by Gordon in a sharp command. Evidently the bathing suit joke was well known. Sheila decided
 "Number IT, Rosie" Gordon called. Turn around now, child.'
 This last was to sheila. "You wear your hair we'll" N.

The folds billowed down to the sheet with which the platform was swnthed. Mirrors told Sheila that the dress was beautiful. It fitted her exquisitely and the col ors became her.
 Let's see you step down from there" ordered Gordon when not a wrinkle remained to mar the perfection of the frock.
 Fearfully shcila obeyed. Tt can't be worse than the stage" she should fa'l Harrel would sure- Ixr y,I inh fnr her hpra
 She swayed across the room, not with the suited manner of a professional mannequin but with natural grace. "You're hired right now!" murmured the girl named Thelma, looking up from fastening q belt about her smart black and white walking suit.
 A moment later Sheila stood before Henri. She moved across the room to the mirror, turned and walked back again. Henri nodded.
 "You'll do," he said. "The sal ary is $50 a week. Gordon, have her put on Number 12 and let me see her."
 The other girls listening showed their surprise. Fifty dollars for q beginner! It meant that instead of displaying gowns, appearing and disappearing as different cos tunes were requested. Sheila would mingle with the customers. She would appear to be another shopper, slipping tea if it was served, sitting, standing and talk ing to the women and girls who had come to buy Henri's gowns. Wearing the designers most hand some creations, she would be a model incognito.
 Customers would think her an- other patron. like themselves, and hurry to inquire secretly of Henri what was the price of her wrap or frock, whether it could be du- plicated.
 The prospect alarmed Sheila. It was welcome news, indeed, that she was to earn $50 week but when Gordon explained what would be expected of her she doubted her ability. ., her.

 "Neither do our clients. They'll think you are one of themselves"
 In another five minutes Sheila was dressed and ready. "Youl II be all right. It's easy" the red haired girl treasured her.
 Sheila stepped again into the soft glow of the outer salon: She hesitated, then moved on. AS she did 50 her eyes fell on a familiar figure directly across the room.

One of the most important ad- vances in our knowledge of teeth has come in recent years with the establishment of the fact that proper foods are as important perhaps more important - than cleanliness in preserving the teeth of grownups, and that correct diet is absolutely essential in the for nation of good teeth in children.
 Fortunately. the foods necessary for good teeth are of the simplest kind. They are readily available in all communities and are both inexpensive and palatable. These foods are principally mikl. green leafy vegetables, and fruits, sup plemented with some good sources of Vitamin D which Is found in egg yolk, cod liver oil, sunlight and the various irradiated foods now on the market.
 These foods are valuable to teeth because they supply the vitamins necessary for the proper develop ment' of teeth, and also the neces- sary minerals, principally calcium and phosphorus, from which the hard structure of the teeth is made.
 In a leafiet entitled "Help Your self to Good Teeth" which many dentists throughout the state of New Jersey are now distributing, the following suggestions for good teeth are made:
 Eat Proper Foods
 Milk--a quart day.
 Fruits-especlally oranges to- matoes, apples.
 Vegetables-one cooked, one raw
 Bread and at least one whole grain cereal.
 Cod liver oil October until May)
 Butter and cheese; eggs, meat,
 Keep Your Teeth Clean
 Brush them morning, night and after meals
 Brush all surfaces
 Massage the gums; upper and lower.
 Have Your Teeth Examined
 Visit the dentist regularly, be- ginning at the age of two and con- tinuing through life,
 Protect Your Health
 Your body demands exercise sunlight, sufficient sleep, proper food in adequate amounts, proper care of teeth.
 The leafiet being distributed under the auspices of the Council on Mouth Hygiene of the New Jer- sey State Dental society, contains

Sue had promised to send tho manuscripts that she had copied for Arnold Page to him early tho next morning. She had intended to have a messenger boy call for 1t and deliver 1t. But suddenly she decided that she would deliver 1t in person. Nancy's voice drifted through her sleep all the rest of the night. Nancy's troubles were real now, not just vague, shadowy imaginings.
 A maid admitted Sue to tiie Page house. She nshered her in- to the study where the explorer did much of his work. He was surprised that Sue had come in person he made no comment or sign.
 "I's been to the hospital Sue explained. "Jack Is resting. l thought 1 would come over ana see if the pages are perfect. Be- sides, there might be changes you would want to suggest and can do them while I'm here" Page leafed through the pages. "A good job," he said. "Beauti- fully done. I don't think we need worry about any corrections. Blu, when did you find time to finish it?"
 Last night" Sue answered. The man must never know that Nancy. with her breeding green eyes and low throaty voice had told her hearts secrets while those pages had waited to be fin ished. T went down to the pail try, closed the door, and worked "Alone?" the man asked. Weren't you afraid?' She ignored the first question. She answered the second one. "The house was warm and safe. I was all right" You have had breakfast. have you not? ?" Page asked. But you will have some more coffee with me. won't you? It's mighty good" When Sue had received cup of the fragrant beverage and been persuaded to try a toasted muffin. too, she relaxed.
 What are you planning to do | when your book is done-and this series of articles is ready?" she asked.
 q don't know. What should plan to do." he smiled quizzingly
 "Get married. Find a wife and settle down."
 "Where?"
 "Are you asking me where you can find a wife or where you should settle down?" Sue asked again.
 Both" He didn't smile now. | "Well. you should settle down right here, of course-"
 "A man with one leg is fairly well settled, my child. He can't do much gay philandering. I'll probably have my headquarters here for some time to come. But what about the wife?"
 Isn't there any one who would meet your requirements?"
 "I can't think of anyone at this particular moment. That is, any one who would want me. Any l suggestions? It was an idle question, expecting an idle an- l swor.
 None at all. But watch your step, my dear! Now that you are growing famous--more famous, I mean-the city gossips are resur- recting an old tale of mysterious lady that you loved long, long time ago. You know, one of those always-in-the- e-background things, no matter who else came along"
 "Where in the name of com- mon sense did you get that?" he asked. "Who told you? I have right to know!" His voice was stern. His eyes were hard. "Tell mel"
 Next: Sue cvades the question.
