The other day one of these
"honey-sipping- at every flower"
boys had a rude awakening in
a police court. The amazing
part of this miscalculation is
that he was an English gentle
man with a title! You prob
ably remember reading about
the case.
This don't-waste-a-m m ent
masher was travelling in a rail.
road train to London. You
know, of course, that English
railway coaches are small, five
or six passengers sitting
opposite each other on benches.
Kiss on Train
The solitary passenger in
the coach, besides the ardent
one, was the complainant. She
was young, very reserved look
ing-from her picture
wore horn-rimmed spectacles.
No woman would ever have
failed to recognize her type
earnest, correct and given to
uplift.
The typical Lothario, how.
ever, doesn't make distinctions.
All girls are like tenpins wait
ing to fall for him. So, with
out further preliminaries, he
flung his arms around the
highly respectable young lady,
who boxed his ears roundly,
called the guard at the next
station and had him arrested.
No one was more surprised
than Sir, his foolish de-
fenSe being that he didn't think
the girl would mind!
They're like that-a good
many of them-and girls write
to this column and tell me
how they've been grabbed and
kissed by some comparatively
strange young man in whom
they haven't the slightest in
terest, and that it infuriates
or pores Cnem, as the case
may be.
Bear Hug
Every girl likes to be kissed
by the man she loves, but not
by some man she meets for the
first time on a blind date, or
the casual young man who
may happen to see her home
for the first time.
II want to save myself and
my kisses for my husband. I
don't want to go to him like
something off the bargain
counter, thumb-marked and
handled" a girl wrote me, after
an experience with someone
introduced as a man, but who
appeared to be grizzly bear,
from his hugging power"
This agreeable conceit-that
every girl falls for him immed-
lately and is dying to be hug
ged and kissed the moment

Fashion Questions

Miss M. S.:
I agree with you that an
all-black frock feels wrong" in
this season of gay colors.
Couldn't you brighten it up
with one of the many new ac-
cessories in high shades? Since
the style you sketched, has sew.
eral touches of velvet, I should
suggest one of the new velvet
Scarfs or kerchiefs in red, green
or any bright color that is be-
coming to you.
This would also smarter the
neckline, which is not particu-
larly new. Then you could
have a velvet belt to match,
and make a complete costume
out of it. Another idea might
be one Of the new flowered
collarS-also in vivid velvet
with a belt to match. You'll
be surprised how much brighter
you'll look-and feel!-with
these changes.
Mrs. H. L. S.:
Have you thought of a lace
cape for your black lace gown?
You could. of course. have a
tucked, TERED or flounced lace
skirt, but I do not think it
would be as becoming to your
type of figure as a perfectly
plain skirt. Lace cape or long
scarf would be more flattering
to you and very fashionable for
this type of evening dress. And
It is very simply styled, so that
you can still change it after
wards.

who wish actually to reduce the
size of their abdomens. This OF
course cannot be done by correct
posture.
And so for them I am going
to recommend an exercise. One
which has wide approval.
The most attractive of the
normal waistline frocks can be
made absolutely iu-fitting by a
poor figure.
Night and Morning
This exercise will reduce the
waistline as well.
Stand with feet we'll apart,
raise the arms high above the
head, at the same time bending
backward as far as possible.
Bring the arms forward, bend
ing the body, but keeping the
knees straight until the fingers
touch the floor in front of you.
In the beginning you may not
be able to touch the floor, but
reach down as far as you can,
and, as the body becomes more
supple, you will find it easy not
only to touch the floor with the
tipps of your fingers, but to lay
your palms flat on the floor.
This exercise should be done
every night before you retire and
again in the morning. Be sure
to have plenty of fresh air in
the room.
Spare tires" never could live
long under a daily diet of trunk
bending and twisting exercises.
After you have taken the eXer-
else I have recommended for
several weeks, here is one that
you may graduate to. It is
little harder.
Other Exercises
Stand erect, feet wide apart.
Raise the arms overhead, feel
ing quite a pull through the
fingertips of the right hand to
the left toe. At the same time
the left arm comes down to
shoulder level, palm facing back
ward. Back to position and re-
verse, touching fingertips of
left arm to right foot. Try it a
few times at first. Soon you
should be able to do the exer-
else at least 10 times.
Here is still another exercise
which will spell death to fatty
tissue. Lie face downward, pre-
ferably on the floor. Arms
stretched ahead, legs stretched
downward. First try raising
the upper part of the body.
Back to position. Not so easy,
is it? Now try raising legs. Try
raising both the upper part of
the body and the legs at the
same time. You should feel a
great strain through the waist.

about evening headbands-now

Full advantage should be

assortments available.
The average housewife, how
ever, I suspect, lets slip many an
opportunity to provide in
triguing dishes for her family
and so does not get the full
benefit of all the market and
garden has to offer.
Many have a habit Of boiling,
or creaming, the vegetables they
serve-by the way, only a limit

over and over until the family
taste has tired of them. Why not
bake, or stuff and serve some
of these otherwise humble and

will be enjoyed.

blase and you're matching that
with assumed indifference. This
little bit of drama may be very
entertaining to both, but there's
always the possibility you may
carry these roles too far. He

Beauty Queries
and Answers

Massage
Question: Can you tell me
just what 'petriSsage' is? I've
heard somewhere that it Is ex-
cellent for the hair and scalp,
and I'd like to see if it will
help to improve my hair any.
/ think it has something to do
with massage, but I'm not sure.
Can you aid me? M. F.
Answer: Petrissage does IN
deed have something to do with
massaging, as it is nothing
more than a method of mas
sage. 1t indicates deep.
kneading. pinching movement.
This form of massage is excel
lent for scalp and hair health,
as it stimulates the circulation
through the Scalp's tissues, and
increases its supple freedom.
Pinch your scalp between the
thumb and finger of each hand.
Hold your palms firmly against
your head, under your hair, and
lift your scalps from the skull.
Plant your fingers on your
head, and rotate your scalp so
that it moves freely over your
skull. All these movements will
help no end to promote hair
health and lovelineSS.
Long Face
Question: Will you please Sug-
gest a way for me to wear my
hair So that my face, which is
long, will appear at its best?
My hair is parted in the middle
with two dips on each side and
fish hooks on my forehead. Half
my ear is showing. E. d.
Answer: To give the illusion
of width part your hair about
an inch from center and comb
it back. Fish hooks are not
good style at present. Arrange
your hair in soft waves about
the temple and have it fluff at
tractively about the ears. Don't
have it cut too short.
Rinse
Question: What can I do to
bring out the light in my hair.
1t is brown. HI. G.
Answer: The vinegar rinse is
very good for bringing out the
highlights in brown hair. It
should consist Of half a glass Of
cider vinegar and pint Of clear
water.

HOMING PIGEON BACK
AFTER THREE YEARS

ATLANTA, Ga, May 2. (UP).
William Stoddard, prominent At
lanta dry cleaner, has reported
the return of a homing pigeon
that he had turned loose three
years ago.
Stoddard sent some pigeons to
Gainesville, Fla, 800 miles from
Atlanta, recently and clicked
them in their return flight. When
they arrived there was one extra.
Stoddard thought the pigeon was
a stranger, but it had Stocdar1
band on it's leg.
The pigeon even went to the
very nest it had left three years
before. Stoddard believes the
pigeon was caught and held in
another loft. 1t was thin and
bedraggled when it arrived here.
