Round Out Thoat Line
Dear Miss Shelby:
Can you describe a routine
that will help to round out the
lines of my throat and neck?
Sincerely, L. V.
Dear Mrs. L. ":
First cultivate correct posture.
When walking, working or sit
ting, keep your shoulders back,
your chest high, chin in, head
held up on a straight neck.
Stand erect, hands at sides.
Inhale slowly, counting 1884
while you tilt the head back
gradually. Stretch the throat
as far as possible till the back
of the head touches the back of
the neck on count 4. EXhale
slowly, counting 1884 as you
raise the head to an erect posi-
ton. Repeat five times.
Lie flat on your back with
your head hanging over. Raise
head until Cnln touches chest.
Lie face downward and raise
head backward and upward as
far as you can. Then stand and
twist head from side to side.
Tilt head back and go through
an exaggerated chewing motion.
Massage throat and neck with
a good cream. Work from point
of chin downward, then up
sides to the ears and back of
neck. Then pat briskly under
chin and along the contour.
Finish by tying up the chin with
a band of thin cloth wrung from
ice water and drenched with
astringent.

Just Ahead
We think the burdens Of age
are many,
That the old are bowed by the
weight of the past,
Lacking youths promise OF Joy'
and any
Hope of a dream to come true
at last.
We cannot know how the skies
must brighten
And the tired feet move with a
braver tread,
We cannot guess how the load
must tighten
With the end of the journey
just ahead.
We are prone to forget how new
strength is granted
When a prisoner learns OF his
sure release;
But a strange glow shines, as
from lands enchanted,
In the eyes of the old who draw
near to peace!

Advice to the LoveIorn
Bv BEATRICE FAIRFAX

out from headquarters what's
really the matter. There are
weekend excursions to the city
in which this girl lives. Why
not avail yourself of the cut
rate and find out what has hap
pened. Not often do girls go
back on a boy friend because
they can't find a job.
Sits on the Front Porch
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm a girl in my third year at
high school, love athletics and
spend as many free hours as
possible in the gymnasium.
There's a young man (not too
old for me) who lives near my
house, and 1 think he's quite
nice. Also, he has very good
job.
Every night he sits on the
front porch and talks to me. He
says nice and very flattering
things, but has never asked me
to go out with him. Should I
stick to athletics and just be
friends with him or should
try to win him? I'D.
I think for a young lady in
the third year at high school
you're making very fair prog
reSS, indeed. in having a nice
young man sit on your front
porch and say nice and flatter-
ing things to you.
Don't try to rush things too
hard, and why should you think
of giving up athletics? Perhaps
that's one of the things he ad-
mireS you most.
Plant of a Woman Office Worker
Dear Miss Fairfax:
When my husband and I were
married, we agreed that it was
o. K. for me to keep on work
ing, and we put quite a sum
away in the bank.
But now he has the money
craze, and insists that I keep
on working. I'd like to have a
home somewhere in the sub
urbs, SO that We can have chill
dren, a garden, and social
circle of nice people.
Do you think a woman ought
to keep on working indefinitely,
when she marrieS?
OFFICE WORKER.
If your husbands salary is
sufficient for you to have those
things on which you've set your
heart, why not quit? The other
side of the question is that
you're probably keeping some
man or woman, who really
needs a job, out of it.

Why Has She Changed?

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'm "a years of age, and have
been corresponding with a girl
in another city for over year.
Everything seemed to be o. K,
from her letters, until the last
one came. This one proves
that she has changed COM

Don't Hold Them on Too Short
a Chain
Dear Miss Fairfax:
1 have gone with a young
man for almost seven months
and have learned to care for
him very much. Sometimes he
seems very devoted, other times
he acts quite indifferent. Re-
Gently, we went to a party; the
next day I met one of the girls
who was there, and she told
me that my young man had
asked her for a date.
1 didn't have time to talk to
him about this, for he left on
his vacation the next day. He
has been gone over a week and
haven't heard from him-not
even a postcard. What shall I
do?
A little while later, several
other boys asked me to go out,
shall I go? 1 haven't gone with
any other boy since l met him.
r. M. H.
If you're not engaged to this
young man, you're as free to
make engagements as he is, and
you won't hold him, my dear,
if you try to hold him on too
short a chain. They" rebel
and naturally. I'm glad you
didn't have an opportunity to
ask him about the date with the
other girl, as it would have
made you seem too possessive.
If he doesn't write, you can't
do anything about it except to
be good sport and pretend
that it doesn't disturb you. And
by all means, accept the other
invitations.

Plain Back Checked Jackets Worn
With Flannel Stacks

At the smarter resorts, such as
Newport and Southampton, some
of the best-dressed men are
wearing sports jackets that are
made Single-breasted and with
plain back, in contrast to the
= many fancy-belted types that
are seen both there and else
where.
With white flannel slacks they
are seen at all gathering places,
and the jacket is put on after
golf, tennis or other activity in
the sun. The rest of the cos
tune may be as gay as you
please, and the check may be in
rather noticeable size and
colors, but the coat will be
simply cut.
Jackets are around and about
now that are made of a cotton
material that closely resembles
these Shetland or tweed jackets,
in the same colorS, made the
same way. At a distance you

Flannel Suit Ideal
For Travel

No matter where you travel,
whether to the mountains, to
Europe, to the Pacific Coast,
you must have one suit at least
to fall back on when all your
washable things are at the laun-
dry, or when you meet a gusty
breeze, of find a welcome cold
night.
The ideal suit is a gray flan-
mel, with or without a tiny
chalk stripe. With the stripe it
is the favorite Of the Prince Of
Wales, so widely copied by men
all over the world. And with
the stripe it is usually made
double breasted.
To be really smart, have your
suit made with rather long
jacket which drapes gracefully
at the shoulders, and is slightly
fitted at the waist. An extra
change or ticket pocket will
make it look very new, and
there may be a slight taper to
both the trouser legs and the
sleeves.
Patterned Shirt Good
To be like the Prince Of
Wales, wear a tab collar shirt,
but to be typically Washington
ian in summer, wear whatever
shirt pleaSeS you. Patterned
shirts will go well with either a
plain gray flannel suit, or with
one with chalk stripe.
Be individual in your choice
of tie and handkerchief, and it's
all the better if you make a
colorful choice. Why not some
red in each? If you wear blue
shirt, blue tie with large red
dots will look well, and a blue
handkerchief printed in red.
Something with a dash Of yel-
low in it will go well to. And as
final touch, why not red
carnation in your buttonhole?

Paris, which starts about Easter
time and is now about to end,
with all the smart set leaving

First and foremost is the use

orite. 1t is sponsored by Au-
gustabernard, Vionnet and
Mainbocher, all first rank cou-
turiers, and Lelong uses it some,
too.

usually used, but some heavy

the bell silhouette or a skirt
flounce that flares widely.
Coat Of Stiff Satin

Of stiff black satin, that is

women in Paris. It is floor
length, has no collar, but has
big sleeves to make up for it.
Sounds marvellous, doesn't it?

Evelyn Brings 1903
Costume Up to Date

In Mrs. Wigs of the Cab
bage Patch" Evelyn Venable is
wearing costumes Of the 1903
vintage. They are quaint and
old-fashioned, which makes the
fact that Evelyn is adapting
one of them into her personal
wardrobe most interesting. A
white organdy printed in red
cherries is trimmed by a red
velvet sash and has yards and
yards of ruffling. It really is
a delightful affair and Evelyn's
idea is to remove the puffed
sleeves and use it as a really
different summer dinner
frock.
