POiSe
Rx DONNA GRACE

At a recent and very important
social function where many Of the
charming members of the younger
set and seasons debutantes were
assembled, we observed a same
ness about them both in looks,
speech and manners.
That is not surprising, as we
have a changing vogue in speech
and little mannerisms that seem
to 60 with every change of sea-
son, and each social set strives
to use it's own popular language
and expressions.
The hair styles, makeup and
gowns, of course, are usually in
accordance with the latest die
tates of fashion. They were all
so smart and lovely and just as
we would have them, but began
to notice some of the girls more
than others.
A few of them in these groups
stood out in distinctive way and
they had an air ana charm that
some of the others lacked. AS l
watched them moving about, I dis
covered what it was that gave
them this distinction. 1t was their
correct and pleasing posture.
They stood and walked with an
ease and grace that gave them
this assurance and poise so desir-
able.
Posture has so much to do with
our success in every walk of life.
The girl who holds her body in a
confident, upright position com.
mands attention and admiration.
Why not be claSSed as a girl
with poiSe and look like the little
ariStocrat that you are? We have
recovered from the old-fashioned
debutante SLOUGH, but there are
still a number of young persons
who are not so concerned as they
might be about their posture.
When you have permitted your
self to SLOUGH and become a bit
careless, you may be surprised to
find that it is difficult to assume
and hold the correct posture. You
will need some exercises to relieve
the tension of the muscles.
Here is your posture: Stand
up tall and stretch the neck;
pull the elbows to the back so as
to drop the shoulders; then drop
the arms to the sides. Hold the
abdomen in, but do not push out
the hips toward the back. The
chest must be round and high,
but there is no apparent effort
in this movement and no groove
in the back.
We have found the exercises
necessary to assure the easy grace
and charm; they are some of
the easy ones in my nOrmaIizing
set. There is no charge for it,
but please enclose a stamped,

To quote from Mems Wear, )"

some of it direct. European in
fluence upon American affairs is
painfully apparent to statesmen
and economists when war clouds
darken skies. To hat men, an
other European influence brought
about q resuscitation of trade.
Alpine Influence
1.-THE Tyrolean hat has been
modified in many of the spring
hats, but the style features OF
yodel bonnet have left their i'm
print upon the trade, and will
probably be noticeable for a long
time to come. There are-in
addition to such obvious things as
feather mounts, perky bows and
tapered crownS-evidences in the
spring models that the basic con-
struction of the fur felt itself has
been affected by the Tyrol, and
that we will have new textures
and surfaces"
We can see for ourselves that
many men here are wearing Tyro-
liam types, and if you watch the
snow trains go out of New York,
you'll see that men there have
taken up even the more extremely
Tyrolean hats in earnest, for
winter sports. For street wear
they are much modified, but for
active sports, they needn't be.
Wider BrimS
Another evidence of a new hat
is a slightly lower crown and wider
brim. This will not be very notice

Asks: Has Debut Party Become Just Fine Free Lunch?
Health
Essentials of
Good Diet
BY LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

by LOOAN NAGANOG4NAANOb n. AZ
In speaking of the fundamental
requirements of a natural diet we
have emphasized this week the
tissue-replacing qualities and the
merchandising qualities, but
there are some other things that
a diet must do which lie outside
the range of these fundamental
requirements. One is that it must
furnish bulk, or roughage.
A concentrated diet, or diet in
which all the food elements are in
such simple forms as they are in
milk, would leave in the lntestines
substances which ferment and pos
sibly intoxicate the body. say

not certain that they will, and a

ton of the intestinal contents,
and this is best accomplished by
those parts of foods which are not
broken down in the process of d.
gestion and are not absorbed.
They act as a foreign body in the
intestinal tubes and stimulate It's
muscles to rhythmic movements,
which result in evacuation.
Desirable in Diet
The principal form in which this
bulk Of roughage occurs in the
food is in the fiber, or cellulose,
of vegetables and fruits. 1t is for
this reason that these substances
form such a desirable part and
such a large part of the average
dietary.
It is quite easy for anybody to
estimate the percentage of bulk in
his foods. Anybody can see that
milk or candy contains none cf
it and that an apple, or cabbage,
or sauerkraut contain good guam.

rotS, as is evident by the way they
feel against the teeth, contain a
large amount of indigestible sub

When I say "indigestible," this
is the opposite of meaning that
they cause indigestion. Although
these are the elements which fire.

Besides the actual bulk, great
many fruits and vegetables con.
tain in their juices chemical
elements which have a slight
cathartic effect. Sauerkraut juice
has been proved by Gerlen to be
decidedly laxative in character.
The fats, by promoting the
flow of bile, may act somewhat
in the same way, although they
contain no roughage in them.
selves. Probably the juices Of
apple and cranberry have this
same sort of action.
The other element which Is re-
quired in foods is freshness. No
one can subsist on completely
cooked or preserved foods in

This, of course, means essen

much of coming out parties.
Such functions, to quote The
late Oliver Wendell Holmes,
father of the former associate
Justice of the Supreme Court,
are cases Of gable, gobble, git. "

girls come out" But the DEBUT
as a social function seems to be
languishing.
College girls, and others who
have had the advantage OF
sound educations, seem to see in
such an affair the equivalent Of
announcing I'VE are ready for
proposals."
And while the debut party has
called many a lovely young
creature. a pitiful number OF
these never make the matrl'
monial altar.
Better Chance
College-bred. modern girls, rich
in the wisdom of Eve, know that
their chances of making deslr-
able marriages are better in the
business world than at the coun-
try club or the cocktail party.
Your young man who is climb
ing the ladder of success doesn't
have much time for these gay
cites, and if his eye strays TO-
mantically, it's likely to focus on
some good-looking. clever girl at
an adjacent desk, who really
knows what's going on in the
world, rather than Miss Fluffy
RuffleS.
So many girls from rich and
imp or tant families-graduates
from the best colleges too-have
gone into a certain department
store in New York that it is
known humorously as the rich
girls range"
But to return to Miss Medora
Roosevelt. She certainly ratified
the teacups when she said:
'MaIe butterflies are m u h
more interested in gOrging them
selves at debutante parties than
they are in dancing with the girls
or making any effort to keep the
party going"
"Medora's De-bunking" might al
most serve as the title of best
seller. It's so revealing.
Why come out" at all, when so
many Of the poor dears have to
stay in, in later life?
Sound Tactics
The modern girls best bet seems
to be to vault into the vast hop
per of the business world and take
a chance on meeting some worth
while young man.
Occasionally a letter comes to
this column in which a girl be-
means the fact that her family
cannot afford to give her a COM
ing-out party. And here's hoping
that the remarks of Miss Medora
Roosevelt, of Park Avenue, a
cousin of two Presidents, may
prove a comfort to such CORE
spondents.
My personal advice to all girls
IS, learn how to dance well, create
personality, dress as well as your
purse affords, and know what's
going on in the world around you.
Don't be a Dumb Dora. And you'll
come out, whether you wear silver
sandals and a billowy chiffon
frock, or just put on your tailor
made suit and go downtown to
business.
Make your own coming-out
party, and make it a success.

COCKTAILS

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

the host and hostess refuse also,
or is it proper for them to drink
one if they see fit? r."
1t isn't necessary for the
hostess or host to do likewise
when a guest declines a drink
either before dinner or during
dinner or after diner. The choice
of the guest is taken for granted

about it, and no urging to change
your mind" Then the guests

SNOW AND COLD WEATHER
KILL MANY GAME BIRDS
About Half of Quail in State
Died, State Game Warden Says

Approximately half of the quail in
Maryland were killed by the cold and
snow of last winter, T. Lee LIE Compile,
state game warden has estimated. !,
LeCompte said that in Frederick
county 80 per cent of all ground nest
ing birds had been killed by winter or
their natural enemies.
Throughout the state about five per
cent of the rabbits were killed and
about Is per cent of the deer.
Deer Trapped On Railroad
He reported that many of the deer
were not killed directly by the cold
weather, but indirectly by the snow.
In Garrett county, he said, there is
long railroad cut which becomes
filled with snow. Only enough room
is cleared for trains. He said that
at least five deer wandered into the
cut and were struck by the trains.
LeCompte said the loss in water
fowl was severe, but not as great as
expected. The loss in the winter of
1934-35 was greater than last winter,
he added. Most of the waterfowl
killed, he said, were frozen to death.
The state operated three feeding sta
tons in open water and managed to
give them enough to eat.
Three Years of Bad Weather .
Game in the state has suffered from
nearly three years Of adverse weather,
the game warden stated. The heavy
rain in the fall of 1888 drowned rs
per cent Of the ground-nesting birds,
which includes quail and wild turkeys!
The following winter was the coolest
in fifty years, and it killed many of
the young birds which survived the
floods.
The wet summer and fall of 1884
further depleted the numbers, and
then there was another cold winter.
