The Book

The Bicycle Man
Each child lies on the floor,
hands over head and chin drawn
in. The players move their feet,
as though pedaling a bicycle as

Upright Posture Games

BY IRENE HERVEY

Quite the incest part of win
ter in California to me is going
to Lake Arrowhead or Big Bear
for winter sports. While skiing
still seems to "get me down" at
every opportunity, I adore to-
bogganing and exploring on
snow shoes.
Perhaps because I am still an
amateur at snow sports, I like
my snow clothes to be made so
no snow can sift in and easy
and comfortable to wear. You
can see that my ski suit was de-
signed with just this idea in
mind.
The jacket-blouse is of gray
and brown, worn with brown ski
trousers that fit about the waist
but don't bind, with ribbed cuffs
that fit down over my boots
and keep snow out. The blouse
has a arm high collar that tips
up in a hurry with a taSSel zip
per. I like the way the sleeves
are cut in one with the body,
they are more comfortable and
give more room for movement
than tight armholes.
X X
The big pockets also faSten
with the same tassel zippers, so
they are easily opened or closed,
even when your hands are cold
and stiff.
I wear a gray stocking cap
with this skiing suit that has a
tassel atop in the brown of the
costume.

Child Health
Questions
Negative Period

Negative Period
Q.-My child says mo" to
everything. 1t doesn't make
any difference what the re-
quest is. He says mo" appar.
emily automatically. He isn't
a troublesome child, but this
habit worries me. B. G.
A.-Many children go through
this negative period. It may
be in part imitation of his
parents who say mo" to so
many of his wants or it may
represent his first feeling of
independence. You will gain
little by argument or punish
ment and your best course is
to ignore it as much as pos
sible Give him few oppor-
tunities to pull it on you. This
negative phase will pass when
he discovers it is not gaining
him attention.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1933-11-30

are a practical buy because you
can wear them with your black
street or fur coat, and with a
simple black hat. A white hat
will increase their look of
formality, if you so desire.
Of Messy Crepe
We have a lovely dress
photographed which illustrates
our point perfectly. It is Of
black messy crepe, which as
you may know, is like ex-
tremely dull uncut velvet.
It is rich looking, but makes
dress look all right on the
street if you want to make 1t
do double duty.
Pleated FlOUnceS
This dress has a ruffled
circular collar, and ruffled
flounces inside the wide sleeves
of white rough crepe. 1t is
priced $29.75 in a downtown
store, in misses sizes.
AS you can see. it looks
smart, and suitable for an
afternoon Of bridge or a tea
worn with white hat and
gloves. If you want to make
it look less formal, select black
hat and gloves for it.
All costumes shown by Miss
Laville are available in local
stores. For more information
about them, write her en-

brocade jacket-the kind that's
buttoned to the waist a Ia
Basque. 1t can be worn as a
perfectly good evening wrap in
its own right. and also as a
means of making an informal
costume out of a formal gown.
Wear one of these cloSe-fitting
little jackets over a low-backed
evening frock-and, presto! you
have a dinner dress that would
do you proud at any restaurant.

THIS DRESS is quite formal when
worn with white hat and gloves, and
will double for street wear when you
select black accessories.
The collar is made of a pleated
flounce of white rough crepe, and so
are the sleeve ruffles, which fit inside
wide cuffs. No other ornamentation
is needed.

He reaches up straight toward

Do you know what is straight?

Fairy Wishes
The children all lie flat, listen
ing for fairies. They hear
fairy call. The fairy promises to
change each one into something
straight and tall. Each child
chooses what he wishes to be
a mountain, tower. big tree, tall
Indian or a giraffe.
The fairy waves her wand and
each one has his wish. Each
then acts his part, standing on
tip-toe in the best position he
knows. The best may be re-
warded by a simple little prize.
Sometime in the near future
we will discuss games designed
to straighten and strengthen
specific muscles.
