Beauty
Exercise for
SIendernesS
BY DONNA GRACE

Many OF us have the wrong
idea about being slender. We seem
to think that as long as we are
slender we have a perfect figure.
One must agree that a well-pro-
portioned and symmetrical, Slen,
der figure is lovely, but there is
a degree of slenderneSs no girl
can risk-the thin stage-we
mean. There is no special appeal
in a flat chest, or hips that Sug
gest bones rather than soft curves.
We must use discretion in re-
ducing. While no one wants to be
overweight, we will do well to
have a few extra pounds rather
than lose the feminine allure Of
a well-rounded chest and the deli
cate contour that is the acme Of
loneliness in every figure.
The thin girl loses poise and
personality when she reaches the
stage of weakness. Whenever re-
ducing is accompanied by weak
ness and lassitude, you must
either stop dieting or go slowly
in eliminating foods that put on
weight.
You must keep up your strength,
and that can be done easily if
the diet is combined with exer-
ciSeS.
The milk diet is very good for
reducing and keeping in good
health at the same time.
I have a splendid diet for put
ting on weight. 1t will help you
to keep the roundneSs you have,
or put on weight if you need it.
The bust treatment is one that
every girl should have, as it con-
tains information that is valuable
in either reducing or building up
the bust.
Try to make the most Of your
figure.
If you would like to have any
Of the above treatments, / will be
glad to send them to you, if you
will enclose a stamped, Self-ad-
dressed envelope for each and ad-

astray," as one well-meaning per
son wrote to me, urging me to
use my Influence to stop the
abomination."
WORD OF WARNING
AS well try to make the birds
stop singing! Dancing, like the
song of birds, is an expression Of
innate well-being and joyousness.
How many homely little Gin
derellas have danced their way
into the affection of some Prince
Charming, by their grace and
sense Of rhythm!
Not to dance is to forego one
Of the greatest pleasures of youth,
and the "beSt bet" for making so
cial contacts.
However, let me say one word of
warning-if you go to dancing
school or a dancing club, be sure
to discover in advance if it is
sponsored by what is known as
mice" people.
Unfortun ately, undesirables
dance too, and a rowdy dancing
place is an denomination" Watch
your step-your dancing steps
especially.

Sometimes they qualify with
IT don't dance WE'LL" Or a boy
will say something like:
II dance about as we'll as a
bear; 1 step on her feet, and she
refuses to dance with me any

I wonder, when I get such a let

one of the greatest croSS-cuts to

know how to dance we'll.
There's no excuse for awkward,
slovenly dancing. Keep after it
till your body responds in perfect
time and grace to the rhythm Of

I've never been able to see
why some people think dancing
is wicked. In the very earliest
religions, dancing was part of
the ritual.
Some years ago the eminent
English archeologist, Sir Arthur
Evans, excavated an ancient
palace in Crete, that long island
near Greece which is supposed to
be the cradle of Europe'S civiliza-
ton.
There in one of the rooms
which had been buried under the
silt of ages for more than 5000
years, was a wall painting
exquisite figure of a dancing
girl, her flying dark hair and
fluttering yellow draperies almost
as fresh as the day the colorS
had been laid down.

GRAND for boys, and grand for
VI mothers tOO-these new en-
sembles Of "tweedurOy'' which fill
nearly all Of q growing boys
clothing needs for the fall and
winter. You probably know the
fabric for its long wearing quail
tiles, and for its good looks. It's
soft and velvety, yet durable as
any material can be, and will last
longer than you can keep your
boy from growing out Of the gar
ments. This ensemble, shown In
sketches above and below is
priced each piece separately, 50
that you can buy as much as you
need or want. The jacket is $685.,
knickerS $2.95, nO-belt knickerS
the same price, OverallS $2.45, the
beret or cap is 81, and the shorts
are $1.95. Several new features
make them popular with boys.
The beret and cap are One-can
be worn either way, as the visor
just goes inside if you want a
beret, but appears again when
you prefer to wear a cap. The
jacket has a sports back, just like
the sports coats that men wear.
It has Upper front too, and is cot
ton caSha lined, to be soft and to
wear well. The whole business is
Cravanetted, so that it is water
proof, and will Withstand even a
heavy rain. The overall style is
very new, and quite popular with
boys. The nO-belt Knockers are
fitted around the waist, with sec
tons Of Iastex, so that you need
no belt with them.

AS young men in your position

a girl, not her family. But your

about it to me. And I'm wonder

MORE THAN PUPPY LOVE
Dear Miss Fairfax:

eve went to school with each
other, and have been in love ever
since we were in the eighth grade.
After 1 graduated from high
school, 1 went to one Of the big
colleges in another city, and met
a great many girls who seemed
to take an interest in me, and
would have made good wives in a
worldly sense. But I always
thought of my old schOOImate.
Her people are distinctly down
atheel folk. Her father drinks and
her brother is an undesirable con-
nectiOn. Still the girl seems to me,
in her shabby surroundings, as
lovely and lOvable as she did when
we fell in love, in junior high. In
spite of her environment, she has
had a great deal of attention from
eligible men, because she is beauti-

A CURLY top for children
"A that's one of the advantages
of this new type waver, and an
other is curlS while you sleep,
achieved easily and comfortably.
The wavers are Of green rubber,
soft and pliable, so that you can
cover your whole head in them,
and go right to bed. There's no
pull or weight to the hair while
it is being transformed into ring
lets. For children, it is both safe
and sure, for they can run about
and play while their hair is being
curled, without danger of injury
from the curriers', and without dis
comfort. It will train their hair
into ringlets or into soft finger
curls. There's a slit in the mid
die, in which you put the ends Of
the hair. Then you roll the hair
on the curler, and put one end
through the eyelet in the other
end-and it lays flat against the
head. A card of 4 is 10c.

WANTS TO BREAK UP
ear Miss Fairfax:

DGdE NA1SS II dAAA~As
81 have been going steady for
10 months with a boy two years
older than 1 am. When we first
started going together, We were
both very happy. 1 know he cared
for me then. He was very dOmi-
neering, but I didn't mind doing
as he told me, because / loved him.
Lately he told me he didn't love
me and that he wants to break up.
"Still he comes over and takes
me out and gets very mad if 1 go
where there are any other young
men. / am still very deeply in
love with him, and / would do a
good deal to gain back his love. l
am very unhappy, and 1 don't
know what to do. d. p"
This strikes me as being a typi-
cal case of dog in the manger."
The young man wants to break
with you and tells you so. He
comes to see you when he gets good
and ready, and is "peeved" when
you go out with others. This is a
situation which only you can
handle. Have a little backbone
and some independence. Let him
dance to your tune, my dear,
rather than continue to dance to
his piping. He's probably lost in
terest in you because you're too
yielding.

GOING STRAIGHT
Rv WiCKES WAMBOLDT

From childhood they have seen
their parents and other persons
whom they respected, tolcrating
certain conditions or cOndonng
certain things which should never
be tolerated or condoned. Bring
up a child in the way he should
not go and when he is matured he
will probably keep right on going
that same way-and consider 1t
the proper way.
Every person in every commun-
ity has a definite responsibility to
help every other person in that
community to go straight. Let a
sizeablc and influential percentage
of the people Of a community be-
come resolved that such and such
should be done or should not be
done; let them come out squarcly
and openly behind their dctcrmi-
nations and they will sway the
attitude Of virtually the entire
community.
Probably, you will get tired Of
hearing me say this thing-and |
shall not blame you if you do
but | say it because know from
sad experience that it is true.
There is no force, no influence in
our localities which so affects our
lives as the kind Of local govern
mcnt we have.
And the kind Of local govern
ment we have is determined by the
attitude Of the people in the local
itv toward their local government.
They get eactly the kind of gov
eminent they deserve; for they
pet exactly the kind they believe
in and strive for.
Unsound, corrupt local govern
ment carries its evil influences in
to the churches-and makes them
either impotent or worse. 1t at

THE MACHINE"

North Carolina has her political machines, al
wsvs has had and always will 1t is the desire OF
every candidate to have the backing of machine.
Each campaign year, there is revival OF the
talk of the machine in North Carolina. Yet, none
is able to put finger on olfe man as the machine
man. ANY machine which operates successfully
must have head machiniSt."
We are unwilling to believe that any person on
group of persons III North Carolina attempts to
pick the governor of the state. Every man who
desires to campaign for the nomination from the
Democratic party selects himself group of adVls-
ors and campaign assistants These men, therefore,
are the machine
The strength Of the machine is the strength OF
the individual "cOgs" operating together. Politics
is like business Leadership is necessary. 1t Is I'M
derstandable then, that when the campaign Is at
midseason intensity, it is the desire of each of the
contestants to weaken the machine which is pro
polling the other candidates toward victory.
&c. in our estimation, if Mr.. Hoey, Mr. Graham
Dr. Mcdonald and Mr.. McRae are not machine can
didates they have little business seeking the office
of governor in North CarOlina.-Oxford Public
