tifs are to be noted in many Of the
ornately trimmed gowns, and the
empire style-high waistline and be-
ribboned square neck-is also new
and smart. One of the most attrac-
tive gowns we have seen recently is
the satin style trimmed with three
tiers Of exquisite lace on the bodice
and lace around the hem. The girl
who delights in this type Of gown
will also be pleased with one Of the
tiny and very fancy bed jackets
often made of maribou or sometimes
Of velvet. as the one of white tufted
velvet trimmed with lace.
Slips stress embroidery and lace
in the new styles and the tailored
types are cut to flt the figure well.
The marvellous thing about new slips
is the length-they are made much
shorter and even in half sizes to
conform to the dresses.
Naturally, it is just as important
to match up your robes and gowns
with dainty slippers as it is to buy
shoes for your street ensembles.
Boudoir slippers can be just as fem
inine and frilly or serious and Sc
we're as you want them. The satin
slipper trimmed with matching ruff
f1es which was so popular last year
is still being shown, and there are
a number of other models such as
the quilted velvet boot which closes
with a upper and has fur around
the top-both warm and attractive.
Others feature the wedge soles, plat
form soles and open toes often seen
in evening slippers. A smart and
really new style is the one of black
satin with blue platform, open toe
and blue chiffon tie to hold 1t on.
Others Of silver or gold mesh are
equally as attractive.
There is no doubt that lingerie
fashions this season make us pre-
dict a Christmas of luxurious gifts.
Gowns, robes, slips-all the lovely
things that women so delight in re-
ceiving are more beautiful and fash
ionable than ever.
You'd better sit down and write
that letter to the famous bearded
gent in the red suit-just to remind
him of the exquisite things you'd like
to receive.
You, and 100000 others -.

Here is great news for you. Two

Diaphragm
Exercise
For All
Will Power Needed,
But Results Will
Be Gratifying
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Next to good posture at all times,
those exercises which strengthen
your diaphragm are the most essen
tial to master, II you want to recon-
tour your figure into one Of beauty.
Perhaps it is because women tend
to lean on their stomachs in of mo-
ments, or get lazy about their pos
ture, but the common complaint OF
women whose figures are unattrac-
tive is: II cannot flatten my stom-
ach."
The abdominal region contains
nearly all of the vital organs OF the
body. Therefore it is imperative
that the muscles which cover them
and hold them in their correct posi-
tions, should be strong and elastic.
These very muscles aid the organs to
carry on their natural functions
and thus permit you to be healthy.
If you allow them to grow weak and
sag into what is termed "a protrud-
ing stomach" you not only have a
wretched figure, but you are inviting
poor health.
The following exercists which
strengthens the stomach muscles,
is one every woman should do daily
at home.
Lie fiat on the floor, arms at sides
and stretch your feet down and your
head up. In other words grow
tall" while you are lying on the floor.
On one count bring yourself up to a
sitting position with feet about 2
inches above the floor and arms
stretched out at shoulder level.
All the work is done with the stom-
ach muscles! Do not push your
arms. Learn to rise up in rock
ing motion and balance on the end
Of your spine, feet off floor, back
straight, chin lifted. shoulders high.
1t is difficult at first, but keep try
ing for once you master it your
stomach muscles are that much
stronger and your stomach within
three weeks will be much, much less
obvious!
Before going on this reducing diet
be sure you have your physicians
approval. While reducing follow

Continent the brightest spot and the

high and gas oil and fuel oil reserves
swelled DESPITE an unbAlance between
supply and reduced demand.
Reductions this week In Pennsyl-

LONDON, June l5.-A rush to buy
gold for boarding In place Of cur
rencies continued today, spurred BY
wholly unconfirmed r,lmors Of impend-
ing currency devaluation.
The morning offering Of more than

sorbed by worldwide demand. chiefly
emanating from France. although
some American deposits in London
have been converted into gold. Yes
terday's turnover was 100000, more
than twice Mondays.
At one time the premium on gold
over the daily fixed price reached a
shilling, half-penny, highest since
March 5.
The price today was fixed at 140
shillings and Q pence an ounce, COM
pared with yesterdays 140 shillings, 3
pence, and Mondays 140 shillings. 61a
pence. (The Axed price was equivalent
to $34.99 an ounce, and later, as dollar
exchange sagged, to $35.03, or 5 cents
above the official United States Treas
ury price Of $3.50
Following the price fixing sellers Of
fered bar gold at n pence over the
fixed price. As London banking and
ofiicial sources denied impending de-
valuation rumors and dispatches from
the United States and Italy bore like
denials, the market was quieter, with
buyers apparently chary Of following
the advance. especially in view OF the
large premium.
The dollar was weak at 4.97h to Y
to the pound, compared with yester.
days close of 1861.
The British exchange equalization
fund was understood to have released
gold to absorb the demand.
Today's gold bar sales at fixing time
were the largest in more than q
