Beauty
Short Skirts,
Slim Ankles
BY DONNA GRACE

BY DONNA OhACE
Ever since last spring we have
been hearing rumors of a
change in the length Of the
skirts. The fashion directors
told us that long skirts would
be only for formal wear. There
was such a vogue for the very
long skirts for any occasion
that we paid no attention to
any such rumors of a change.
Perhaps we should have list
ened to them more seriously,
for it seems it was more than a
rumor.
Short skirts are here almost
before we realized the change,
and when short skirts are in
vogue we know they simply de-
mand pretty dainty ankles.
Ankles should never be permit
ted to become large and un-
Shapely, and it is not impos-
sible to train them so they will
always have that slim. graceful
contour that is so attractive.
We must remind you again
that food is the one means of
building weight and size, so
when we find it necessary to
reduce ankles because of ne
glect or over-indulgence, we
must begin with a restricted
diet.
Large ankles must have in
conspicuous hose. The smooth,
sheer silk styles instead of cords
and mesh Weaves, are correct,
and rather dark shades are
preferred.
If you really have large ankles
why not do something about it?
They are so aging and awkward
that every woman and girl
should be willing to make a real
faithful effort to be rid of them.
You will be amazed at what a
little of the right treatment will
do for these diversified extrem.
tiles. We are a little out of
patience with any girl who pla-
cldly accepts a condition that
detractS so much from her style
and charm.
The method I have worked out
for reducing ankles is just what
you need. 1t has been used sue.
cesSfully by so many persons you
would do well to have a copy
and begin at once, so that slim,
graceful ankles will be yours.

Homes being the backbone Of
every country, it becomes a seri-
Gus business when they are
broken and children thrown out
into the world to fend for them
selves, to such an extent as is
now happening in these United
States.
So, waving aside the patho-
logical patter Of the punditS
who have been delving into this
question of unhappy marriages
and broken homes, the out
standing fact remains that the
woman who keeps the home
fires burning is a cheerful per-
son. She is not given to tears.
She has sense of humor, and
she doesn't enjoy poor health
or kindred miSerieS.

among any other order. Except in a
very few and not very well authen-
ticated instances, have never heard
of albinos among the meat-eating
animals, the carnivores- Sometimes
albino monkeys are reported. and we
have had a platinum blond ring tailed
monkey at the Park.
There is a famous herd of albino
white tailed deer on Grand Island in
Lake Superior. and for long time we
have had few albino fallow deer in
the Park. But among the rodents
records of albinism are more frequent
in certain species, though not in all.
1t is fairly frequent among the bushy-
tailed tree squirrels, for instance. but
quite rare among chipmunks. 1t is
common among American porcupines
- and rare among prairie dogs. Yet
the closely related woodchuck very
often turns up in albino form.
I should say that albinism is fairly
common among reptiles generally,
though not among rattlesnakes in par.
ticular. We have exhibited albino
blacksnakes. milk snakes, garter snakes
and Central American palm vipers.
One of the most startling albinos
remember was an almost pure white
alligator with few vivid black mark
ings on his back.
A good many years ago the Aqua
rum had big tank full of lovely
albino lake trout, 50 colorless that the

Of course. lies in their oonspicuousness.
The life of almost every animal is one
of preying and being preyed upon. and
protective coloration plays a very i'm

Imagine the plight of a white tad

inky black tadpoles! What chance has

said, there was an albino swallow in
my neighborhood. 1t was a lovely
white thing. and for weeks I watched
it coming and going. Then. all at once,
it disappeared.
"A couple of weeks later learned
what had happened to it. In my town
there was a merchant with sort of
local reputation as bird lover. He
didn't believe in shooting birds, of
course. But I was going past his win
dow one day and there. in a glass bell,
was my albino swallow. He was a
friend of the birds, but he couldn't
resist shooting that one and stufiing it."

All summer long I waited for word of

day I opened letter from my friend
and few lines informed me that he
had caught the albino and was ship

The creature arrived in perfect con-

most prominent display cage in the

the story is that just year later my

That first albino frog we exhibited
at the Park in 1856 was captured

keepers. 1t was an albino of the COM

but it grew rapidly during the months
it was on exhibition. At first it was
extremely nervous and timid and
inclined to jump against the glass sides
of the cage when people stood close
by. but after about three months it
became perfectly accustomed to public
life and used to sit for hours in the
center of the cage without stirring.

"WOuId it be necessary to
serve drinks? If so, what kind?
"W."
Yes, it would be entirely correct
for you to have this informal re-
ception for your relatives and
friends from eight-thirty on" If
you can stretch your budget a
bit, I suggest that you also have
small sandwiches, of assorted
kinds.

is entirely a matter of personal

Such strict rules for a self.

The pity of it is that parents
feel, in locking a girl up, and
building a wall around her, that
they are excluding temptation.
This policy leads inevitably to
girls meeting young men outside

And how are parents to tell

How to Stay
Slender
BY DONNA GRACE

We are all quite familiar
with reducing routines that call
for exercise and diet, and every
one knows that the principal
factor in all reducing is a re-
stricted diet.
Since it is food that repairs
and builds the body, we try to
cut down on the amount OF
food we eat, and the result is
a rapid reduction of weight.
We find, however, when the
hips are very large they are
slow in responding to any gen
eral reducing course. They do
not change as we expect them
to, without special treatment.
The special treatment large
hips need is exercises that will
keep them supple and discour-
age the dormant, inactive con-
dition so conducive to weight
accumulation.
Nearly all middle-aged per-
sons do put on a little extra
weight about the hips and abdo-
men, and girls also, whose work
requires hours of sitting at a
desk day after day may easily
acquire hips out of proportion
to the rest of the body. They
tell me they are secretaries
hips" but no matter what we
call them, they are not beauti"
full, but are generally awkward
and ugly.
You must not have the big
bunchy pads that give one an
questionable. dowdy appear
ance. Just think what would
happen to the average screen
star if she we're careless enough
to acquire big hips. She would
be dismissed or sent away to re-
duce, would she not?
Well, how about ourselves?
We are just as important in our
own sphere as they are and we
may have beautiful figures if
we will just stay slender. It is
really not difficult at all to take
off this excess weight if we will
just begin.
After the first few days you
will find the routine will give
you a light, buoyant and COM
Portable feeling and you Won
der how you ever managed to
get along without such exercise.
MY set of exercises for reduc.
ing hips, and also the easy re.
stricted diet, have helped thOus-
ands of girls to acquire 1.-the.
slender beauty. Why not begin
now and restore your figure to
its youthful lOvelineSs? Ask for

acteristic lines. The comparative
disadvantage under which the
internist suffers is easily appre-
ciated. He has to say what is
the matter with a liver which is
hidden from him by several lay
ers of abdominal skin, fat and
muscle, through which he can
barely feel, let alone see.
But this especial advantage
which the skin specialist has en-.
joyed is being challenged in
many fields. All the exits and
entrances and cul-de-sacs of the
body now claim their especial
tubes or periscopes so that the
dark internal caves and inti-
mate recesSes of our human
fabric have yielded one by one
to the same close inspection
which the dermatologist enjoys
with the skin.
Hard to Inspect
The stomach has been a rath.
er difficult organ to inspect di.
rectly. True, for many years we
have had so-called castro.
scope, a rigid steel tube which
can be thrust in the stomach If
the patient is sufficiently com.
placent and pliable, but the
procedure is uncomfortable and
unsatisfactory.
These disadvantages have
been overcome by the invention
of flexible gastroscope by DR..
Rudolph SCHNEIDER, visiting
professor of medicine at the
University of Chicago.
This tube will bend, and
hence does not make the patient
as uncomfortable as examina.
ton with the stiff old-fashioned
gastroscope.
Looking into the stomach
with this instrument, the walls
are thrown sharply into view.
Every small pigment spot can
be seen distinctly. The exit
from the stomach at the pylorus
is a scene of fascinating activ.
ity.
Compartment
Seen from the inside in the
living patient, it is evident that
the stomach practically divides
itself into two compartments
by means of a circular muscle.
This has never been seen be-
fore, because when the stomach
is viewed during an abdominal
operation the muscle is relaxed.
Various diseases of the Stom-
ach, such as ulcer, gastritis and
mucous gastritis, can be
plainly seen. All of them have
characteristic appearances.
