When the Dav
Is Done
By DONNA GRACE

When you go home at night,
exhausted and weary, try exercises.
This may not sound reasonable,
but if you relieve the strain of
those tense nerves and muscles,
you will relax and the tired feeling
will pass.
1t is difficult, I know, to make
any effort when we are tired, but
why not try few exercises and
see what they will do for you?
Begin by taking the strain off the
back, the neck muscles and nerves.
First remove your street clothes
and stand erect. Inhale as you
exercise your arms and shoulders.
The arms are stretched out in
front of you, shoulder high. Now
as you inhale, raise the arms over
the head and strain on all muscles
so that you will feel a vigorous
stretching of the waist, back and
leg muscles, especially the knee.
AS you lower the arms to the
sides, push them back just as far
as you can and strain on the back
muscles between the shoulder
blades on the back of the neck.
Exhale as the arms are dropped.
The movement is a stretch all
the way and is done on the time
it takes to inhale deeply. You will
have to hold the chest high to
do it properly. Do 10 Of these
movements and then run on your
toes about the room for three to
five minutes.
After you have gone through
this routine, you have exercised
all the muscles but those on the
face.
Now put on a rubber cap. You
are ready for a warm bath, and 1t
is a nice time to use good pine.
Use a handful of the crystals or
an equal amount Of your pine in
any preparation.
The water should be rather
hot to start with. Then after ~
ing in in the tub from three to
five minutes, run the cold water
in and use a rough sponge or
brush to scrub vigorously with a
mild soap. Make a thick lather
with your hands and massage the
face and neck with it. You must
include the ears and noStrilS.
After you have let the bath
water run out, stand under the
shower until every trace of soap
is removed. Then dry carefully
and apply soothing skin lotion
all over the body, and follow with
a generous application of toilet
water, and then a bath powder.
You will lie down, if you wish.
You will find that the feeling OF
fatigue has vanished and you are
ready to dress for dinner.
I have a set Of Hip Reducing
Exercises which I am sure you
will find very helpful. I will be
glad to send them to you, if you
enclose a stamped, Self-addressed
envelop for your reply. Address

Entire New Makeup

GnClre new makeup
THERE'S something new
Il every day - sometimes we
even find six new things a day.
But there's not always a new
makeup every day. We've al
ready mentioned the fact that
summer makeup looks very
bad with your newly white
skin and your new dark
clothes, but we haven't gone
so far as to recommend a
whole new makeup, One of the
better cosmetic houses has one
out, though, and here's its
story. It's called "Mauresque,"
and it's deep and dark, in
harmony with the lavish eff
fects we wear in the evening,
with the rich, dark colorS we
are wearing both daytime and
evening.
DED VELVET is the name of the
~ lipstick for this "Mauresque"
makeup, and it is indeed lovely
color, almost like coronation red.
You can see how well it will look
with the whey tones, with green
and the blues snd rustS we are
wearing, not to mention our gala
evening clothes. It's dark, but
then dark lipstick is back again
in fashion, we mean. Incidentally,
it is recommended for blondes as
well as brunettes. If you want to
go all the way with the effect,
start with Town and Country
makeup film, add Mauresque
powder, Red Velvet lipstick and
Terra-Cotta nail polish. You may
be sure the effect will be not only
new, but stunning, too.

been copied in versions and AZ

we want, for behOld-theSe grand

There are envelopes of silver or

styles. all nicely done, nicely lined
and fitted with mirror and comb.
The envelopes have mirrors that
are large and fit into a pc ;ket on
the side-big enough to do you

Fur Gloves
TNHEY say that we are going to
l. wear fur gloves this winter. So
far they haven't been seen about
town, and are recommended
mainly for furless costumes. Suits
with only a touch of fur at the
collar or on the pockets may we'll
be worn with gloves of the same
fur. Suits or coats that are en-
tireIy without fur may be worn
with matching toque and gloves of
one of the flat furS, Persian lamb,
caracul or even klonSky or mink.
Watch for them-they'll be here
soon.

POSTAGE STAMPS
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
"The other day my brother re-
ceived q picture postcard from his
girl friend. She had the stamp
pasted on upside down in the lower
right-hand corner. Does this have
a special meaning?
81 would like to know the mean
ing of placing stamps in different
positions on letters, If you will be
kind enough to give it to me.
ct"
There's only one correct posi-
ton for a stamp on an envelope,
and that is right-Side-up and care
fully placed so that the top edge
of the stamp and the right edge
fit squarely against the top and
right side of the upper right cor
ner of the envelope.
The stamp placed Enthusiastically
upside down may mean Il love
you" to a very young and Senti-
mental beau-but the postal au-
thorities would much rather that
the sentiment be confined to the
inside of the letter.

Plenty to see when looking at

Our appetite for statistics is less
keen than that of other countries:
we have such a way of tabling
and pigeon-holding and going on
to the next thing, that looks excit-
ing
So the Metropolitan got their
chart from Canada, assuming
that daily living among the white
populations of these two close
neighbors is similar.
Here are a few items which
should speed bachelors into buy.
Ing that engagement ring, and
losing no time in finding out II
the best girl can make 81 do the
work of two. For married men,
according to the statistical table,
live longer than bachelors!
HIGHER DEATH RATE
Standardized death-rate per one
hundred thousand persons is 1923
higher for all single men over 10
years of age, than for married.
When the upper-age brackets
for men are reached, the married
show a distinct gain in longevity;
638.6 more single ones die against
the per hundred thousand be-
tween the ages of As and "a, than
of those who have been looked
after by the little woman"
And these simple reasons are
offered for the greater length of
life among the married than the
single. A married persons life is
better regulated than single
ones, as to sleep, meals and
recreation.
Again, most husbands have a
strong sense of responsibility to
their families, which makes them
avoid conditions likely to impair
their capacity as wage-earners. So
let men rage as they will against
coddling and wifely solicitude in
regard to health.
TIMELY ATTENTION
It often inSureS timely medical
attention, which, in single indl-
viduals, is likely to be deferred
until the slight cold has run on
into pneumonia, or the stomach
ache into appendicitis.
Other instances of death result
ing from diSregarded first symp-
toms insure the married man a
better chance of attaining old age
than his single brother.
The insurance companies are all
for the golden circlet on the third
finger of the lady's left hand.
There is no better way of quicken
ing the tagging steps Of the slow
lover toward the altar than by
presenting him with an engrossed
set of these statistics.
SOME PRACTICAL IDEAS
And here's an idea offered
gratis, to firms which get out
Christmas cards and waste elab-
crate art effects" on moth-eaten
platitudeS, stupid sentiments and
other verbiage which sooner or
later finds it's way into the trash
basket.
Let them get into cahoots with
life insurance companies and show
what the grand old institution Of
marriage will do toward prolong-
ing life!
Life insurance companies might
get in touch, too, with the various
Brides Schools" which are pop
ping up like mushrooms all over
these United States. They teach
girls to do the kind of cooking
which will keep man at home
rather than drive him to the high
chair at the soda fountain in the
nearest drug store.
