with colored cords. We tried this
but the shelves were not rigid as
the cords stretched. So we used
wire and the result has been a
substantial set of shelves strong
enough to hold reasonably heavy
articles.
A little less than 1914 feet of
wire was used for the shelves
shown here. Two sizes of spools
were used. Shelves, spools, wires
and all were finally painted to
match the brightest tone in the
room color scheme-in our case
it was peacock blue. There are
picture directions like these on ev-
cry page of Book No. 1-SEWING,
for the Home Decorator. If your
house is your hobby, it will be
full of thrills for you. Don't go
through the holidays with shabby
curtains or slipcovers. This book
illustrates every step in making
new ones. Book 2: Novelties and

odds and ends of material. Books

Ostrich Restored
To Ancient Glorv

Comes again the ostrich upon the
fashion scene, as naturally it must,
since the current season is one of
greater pomp and splendor. It is
true Edwardian elegance that the
new ostrich trims now bring into
the fall and winter millinery pic
ture. The tiny hats with the sweep
of single ostrich plume from back
to front are amusingly quaint and
wonderfully f1attering. Have the fun
of trying one on, you'll probably de-
eide to buy it at first glance in the
mirror.
Those cunning little tips of yore!
See them this season clustered.

triguing ostrich neckwear and os-
trich-trimmed evening wraps will
frequent the winter fashion scene.

HINT-OF-THE-DAY

If you are the nervous, high-strung
type of individual, why not learn
to relax your way to poise. Take
things easy. Rest. Exercise to re-
lax only. Stop worrying.
1t is never the thoroughly relaxed
person who suffers from insomnia.
Lack of sleep is usually a symptom
of a harried mind or a nervous dis
order. Much can be done to over
come insomnia.
Regular sleeping hours are quite
necessary. Make it a habit to retire
the same hour and to arise the same
hour until you are relaxed.
Do not overeat or eat too fast.
Both are likely to give you restless
nights. You can skip a meal day
if you wish. Or substitute for two
meals each day, a glass of milk ev-
cry four hours and glasses of fruit
juices in between.
Do not resort to nerve sedatives
unless your physician advises them
for you.

Child Owes His Life to
His Long Golden L locks

READING, ENG. -Three-year-old
Clifford Sunderland owes his life to
his golden hair.
The boy was playing on the bank
of the River Kennett with four-year-
old Daphne Bryant when he slipped
into the water and was carried into
midstream.
Daphne rushed to the shop of his
father, a matchmaker, $50 yards
away shouting, "Clifford's in the
water!" but Sunderland could see
no sign of his son.
Suddenly there was burst of sun
shine, which caught the golden hair
Of the child just under the water.
His father jumped in and brought
him to the bank.
Clifford was unconscious, but he
recovered after artificial respira-
ton.

The double breasted REFER new
longer" jacket centered in the
group is in rich Persian lamb. This
is an ultra chic style with the new"
look that makes it convincingly of
1888 vintage. The hat worn with it
is also of Persian. 1t has an insert
Of bright grosgrain and little red
leather motifs held with silver en-
broidery.
The smartest fashion going is the
fur-jacket costume. There are such
legions of fur jackets this season
and they embrace every silhouette
from bolero to the widely exploited
"longer" jacket and the furs en-
ployed in making them run such a
gamut of luxury and novelty, that
the best one can hope to do is to
touch few highspots in describing
them.
A new fur to some of us, guanaco
by name, is receiving a lot of atten-
ton this season from the spectator
sports angle. This tawny fur is at
tractively streaked with white. It
is a natural guanaco that is so
smartly used in the youthful sports
jacket pictured in the foreground.
The Breton worn with it is of multi
colored hand-woven wool shaped
into a rounded brim.
AS to hats of fur if you keep pace
with fashion a fur headpiece to COM
plement your fur coat or your fur
neckpiece or the fur trim on your
dress becomes necessary luxury.

G EEING the beauty, the ele-
y gance, the artistry, the charm
and versatility of this seasons
fur fashions it would seem as if
each and every designer is pos
sessed with the idea that nothing
short of masterpiece must be
turned out in order to meet the
demands of a fastidious public.
1t is fact we are growing more
exacting each year in regard to
the furs we wear. We have come to
expect of fur that it be styled with
all the versatility of supple fabric,
and that every phase of fashion from
hats to shoes and even dresses livery
smart ones are being turned out
made all of thin supple fur) be ex-
pressed in terms of fur. The en-
couraging thing about it is that the
new fashions in fur not only come
up to expectations but they 60 far
beyond.
This season it is not only that
there are coats and jackets and va
rious apparel wrought in fur but
especial emphasis is being placed
on "little furs' as they are often
called. By which we mean the most
charming little odd neckpieces and
hats with bags to match and as for
muffs, to be properly stylewise you
really must carry muff from now
on until spring.
The new fur showings give the
impression that furriers find it no
'trick' at all to manipulate furs
with as much sang-froid as if it
we're the most tractable and supple
fabric. Note to the left in the pic
ture an ultra smart suit tailored
of black galyack. The pelts have
been rendered as pliable as cloth
and are here expertly worked in
achieving this new box-jacket style
with its graceful trin-fitting slen-
derizing skirt. The high hat is Of
black suede and galyack.

Follow These
Exercises to
Keep Figure
By PATRICIA LINDSAY


vT7HY is it necessary for the mod
w ern woman to use an artificial
method to strengthen her muscles
and to promote good health? 1t is
because our manner of living Of
fers almost no opportunity to use
the larger, important muscles of
the body-the abdominal, back and
thigh muscles.
We live inactive lives. We travel
by motor or train more than we
walk. We do our homework with
electrical aids or have servants do
it for us. Most Office jobs demand
eight hours of sitting and frequently
in poor posture. Selling work in
stores requires the over-use of the
legs and feet. Sewing, writing,
bridge and many other so-called ac-
tivities are actually inactivities!
Games No Substitute.
You probably think that recrea-
tional sports such as tennis, bowl
ing, badminton, golf and riding are
sufficient exercise. But they are
not They stimulate the body
through increased circulation and
allow the skin pores to secrete
waste but they do not build the body
syn1metrically because they are
tone-sided.' Seldom is a woman
adept in using both her right hand
and her left hand in sports.
Walking can be an excellent ac-
tivity if it is done on soil which al
lows spring to the step and if the
body is carried with good posture at
steady pace and if you wear loose
clothing and correct walking shoes.
Swimming is the exception in rec
reational sports. It exercises all
the muscles of the body providing no
one stroke is overpracticed, and it
develops the body synmetrically
and beautifully.
