-BEAUTX
 Gl0rUying Yourself
By Alicia Hart

Regardless of her size or weight, every woman should do relaxing as well as posture exercises now and then. One whose neck is tense or slightly aching and whose body seems woden simply cannot look as attractively smart in her clothes as the relaxed individual who holds herself erect but not stiffly so. 1 The business woman who has only two hours in which to get home from the office, bathe and dress and otherwise transform herself from a tired working girl into a charming hostess or the best dinner table companion in town will find that couple of relaxing exercises are fairly good substi- tutes for the nap she needs but can't have. She should do these just before creaming face and throat and stepping into the tub of luke warm water.
 Reach for the Ceiling Nothing eliminates that tired, tense feeling so quickly as good stretch or two. When you have taken off your clothes, raise up on your bare toes, stretching your arms toward the ceiling. Yawn if you can.
 Now lie flat on the floor with knees straight. Stretch right arm upward above head. Cross left arm over chest and, without nov ing shoulders, reach to the right as far as possible. Relax and re- peat, raising right arm and cross ing left over chest. This should be done five or six times or until you feel the stiffness begin to leave your legs and your shoulders become perfectly relaxed.
 Now assume a sitting -on-heels position. Arching back, bend tor so forward, and throw head back as far as possible. Then slump forward until 1t almost touches the floor. Pull in stomach muscles and slowly raise body to upright posi- tion. This should be done ever so slowly, with the up-pulling move ment beginning at the base of the spine and continuing upward until head is erect.
 Elevator Exercise
 Without the least bit of trouble to yourself, you can do posture exercise whenever you think of it, wherever you happen to be. h. stead of standing near the back of the elevator. nervously waiting to shout out the number of the floor at which you want to get off, stand about six inches away from one side of it, then lean back, pressing the center of backbone flat against the hard surface. All of your spinal column except three or four verte- brae at the base should be against the wall. Notice how this elimi- mates the exaggerated hollow in the midle of the back, how chest is elevated, stomach drawn in. Hips, of course, look smaller when one stands correctly.
 Also, if you will sit with base of your spine rather than shoul- ders pressed against the back of the chair - any chair - good pos- ture will follow quite naturally. One who always sits far forward with back of the neck against back of the chair is sure to develop sway back.
 NEXT: On the lookout for
 beauty.

men-the strain of trying to please.
 They know that aman has to be listened to, and when they are with men they listen.
 They know that a man needs flattery, and if they don't see that he gets it a smarter sister will And so they flatter.
 They know that a man is not naturally sympathetic and is cer- tain to be bored by listening to a woman's troubles - if he can be made to listen. And so women discerning women, keep theil troubles to themselves.
 They know that a man likes gaiety and lightness of heart - so even when they are feeling too low even to be interested ill a new hat, women let men see them gay and charming.
 They know that few men want to listen while woman talks, and so they have resigned them selves to the interested" role. :,
 But when these women get to- gether they figure they have nothing to lose since there are no men around-and they let go Is 1t any wonder they bore eaclJ other? Each one starts to talk about herself as soon as she can slip word in.
 Nobody fiatters anybody. In fact women are almost brutally frank, even with those women they profess to like most. ,

APOLOGIES TO FARMERS WHO
 RAISE PIGS
 So you are human, after all, be- gins letter from farmer in the middle west. I prick up my ears and read on:
 You certainly slipped when you made that "crack" about the meager information of the farmers; They feed skim milk to the pigs. What you don't know, apparently, is that they do this in full realization of the part it plays in the ration they are taught by farm bureaus and their own wide reading and study is the best and most economical for production the bacon you growl SC much about as being too high in price,"
 What, I growl? My dear sir, may I not drop in and chat with you along about milking time some sunny summer afternoon? I'll bring my own dipper. We should really get better acquainted. suspect you are as intelligent as the average city slicker, and you'd hear me actually purring at the aroma of bacon, at any price. I simply do not groWl about such things, assure you.
 Tt is too high priced most of the time, but if you as consumer and the farmer producer could CO., operate it would not be too high priced at any time and the farmer would be satisfied with the price he gets.
 We tried to pay for a farm by raising 40 hogs year. Prices kept dropping and when it took 800 hogs a year to pay the overhead we could no longer afford the pleasure of their company. Little was left after freight charges to packing houses. The packing plants put some of the darling little porkers into fertilizer and the rest into cold storage and finally made you and the other cuS- toners pay through the nose for them.
 am really startled that your in- formation in regard to the modern farmer seems so meager. Meager: That's a good word. It applies to much in the modern way of living.
 That's what I call terrible let ter. It had me blushing right up to the place where the cowlick used to be. Reading it multiplied in fancy the writer by ten thousand and wondered what the ten thous-

 Cool mixture and fold in beaten whites of 2 eggs and 1-2 cup whipped cream. Serve with crushed fruits.
 That smooth suggestion comes from Nela Park, Cleveland, Ohio. So do these equally springlike hints for better living.
 Lemon Velvet Cream

 One pint milk, l cup sugar, 3 egg yolks, 3 egg whites, juice of lemons, rind of 1-2 lemon, 1-2 pint cream, 3 tablespoons sugar. Scald milk and lemon rind.

 Poor Mans Insulin
 Is the opinion that vitamin B is poor mans insulin," as you sug- gested, general or just your own? If it is so, wouldn't it be advisable for any one who is diabetic or po- tentially diabetic to take a generous daily amount of vitamin B? co. S.. WD
 Answer-All nutrition authorities recognize that vitamin B promotes carbohydrate metaboliSm. Many scientific investigators have deter mined that an adequate daily ration of vitamin B in diabetes makes less insulin necessary in cases under in- sulin treatment. Blushingly I con- fess called it poor mans insulin." " Insulin, you know, is a patented medicine, and even though some of the profits go for medical research and SO on, it is still against the written principles of medical ethics to patent medicine. But 1t seems the Code of Medical Ethics was written in the horse and buggy days of medicine. Yes, I believe every potential diabetic should make sure to get not less than 1000 units of vitamin B every day. Three ounces of wheat germ contains 1.050 units of vitamin B.

and well informed farmers think of poor ignorant or Doc Brady now.
 Honestly, though, I never thought of the pigs. was thinking only of the children, especially some un- happy farm children I had known long ago. Their father probably never heard of farm bureau, never saw a farm paper, never attended an institute or whatever the modern farmers call their scientific sessions where they exchange views and learn about new developments in agriculture, etc.
 I humbly apologize to all good farmers. Skim milk is half as nour- ishing as whole milk. Lucky pigs!
 QUESTIONS and ANSWERS
 Leg Cramps
 Some time ago you suggested calcium and vitamin D treatment for leg cramps. I tried it and it certainly did the work. I have rec commended it to several friends who suffered with leg cramps nights, and they have all obtained relief. (Mrs. M. M)
 Answer-Painful cramps in the legs at night generally indicate mild tetany. Calcium and vitamin D usually bring prompt relief and if taken for some time or for occasion al courses through the year will prevent recurrence. Instructions vii! be mailed to any reader who asks for it-do not send a clipping in lieu Of your own requeSt-and in- close a stamped envelope bearing your address.
 How long should I continued talk ing the calcium with vitamin D as you recommended for recurring hives. I have been taking it now for about five weeks, although my hives cleared up inside of a week and have not returned-the longest have gone without an outbreak showing in years. co. JD
 Answer-For eight or ten weeks two or three times year. Mono graph dealing with hives, nettle rash, urticaria, recurring hives, giant hives Cor angioneurotic edema).

Style Chats

Paris (UP)-Romantic or classic either one is right this season.
 From Chanel the Baroness Eugene de Rothchild, a veritable barometer of style herself, has chosen a thoroughly romantic black lace gown. The tight bodice, com pletely strapless, is held up with ribbon facing, while ribbon marks the bodice and the cuffs of match ing black suede gloves. (Mlle. Chanel is particularly fond of rib bons this year)
 In complete contrast to the lace model, the baroness has selected a classic black silk jersey dress with long tight sleeves, from Paquin.
 Princess de Faucigny-Lucigne also favors the Paquin speciality of silk jersey. She has a black model with full gathers in front and a large bouquet of white violets on one rever of the bodice; also a rose silk jersey with fulness gathered from the flat bands which form both girdle and spaulettes.
 Mrs. Anthony DreXel Biddle's eve ming choices fall in the romantic category. She has chosen from Pa uuin a full-skirted white tulle gown, decorated with crossbars of crystal beads. and a billowing black tulle model with the skirt and decolletage edged in green faille. She also has selected one of Paquins popular Spanish fan models of rose-printed organza, the skirt made in tiers Of fan-shaped organza.
 Mrs. John Marriott, the Ameri- can popular in English circles, will attend Mayfair parties in one of the black lace and white organza combinations which are so popular for evening gowns. She also has or dered a dinner dress of toast-col- ored crepe and organza with short puffed sleeves and full gathers over the hips.
 The Duchess of Westminster achieves a happy medium between classic and romantic with Chanel model in finely pleated white lace, worn with a short black lace bolero.
 Lady Crewe has chosen an inter esting print gown, the slim skirt of black and pink flower print, the pink flower print, the pink chiffon bodice bust shaped and outlined in separate flower cut-outs of the print.

making windows the center of interest. Plan a charming little group around every window and give each a new, light costume, even though you have to use nothing more costly than sprigged marquisette or bargain chintz.. Also Venetian or Mayfair blinds, and the latter are quite inexpensive. You, may think that, with a heavy dining room suite in brown walnut or one of the other dark woods that little can be done to make the dining room summery. But one New York decorator solved such a problem nicely by giving the floor covering of ivory linoleum, bordered with a simple band Of blue.
 Flowers Give
 Summery Air
 She then papered the walls in Wedgewood blue with festoons and large shell-vase motif in creamy white Woodwork was painted off-white. The windows received ruffled white ninon curtains hung criss cross fashion from ceiling to floor. No re-papering job will be necessary next fall. Heavy drapes and rug which covers the entire surface of the floor will change the character of the dining room from summer to winter.
 Naturally, arrangements of ferns and frivolous flowers are simple way out of the pre-summer decora- ton dilemma. A three-tiered fern stand, filled with beautiful, feathery ferns, is the keynote of one striking summer dining room. The walnut chairs were covered with white leather (white fabric could be sub stituted) and white screen, decor ated in two shades of green was added Thus, without even taking up the rug. the desired effect was achieved.

A new sitter, sturdily constructed, sifts three times in one operation, thus saving time and eliminating the possibility of scat tering the four.

REDECORATE
 IN GAY MOOD AND YOU'LL
BY MARIAN YOUNG
 NEA Service Staff Correspondent


 New York-Its spring-and the pale golden sunshine ands sofl breezes that pour through your open windows deserve to find a more suitable background for their light hearted charm than heavy, dark draperies, formally austere vases, quantities of warmly clad pillows and other wintry effects.
 This is the time to begin planning a summer decoration scheme for every room in the house. Contrary to expectations, it isn't necessary to discard heavy winter furniture in order to give the house a summer character. There are sub- tie things that can be done to walls and windows to create cool illusions. Reducing" Clothes
 For Furniture
 The same chairs look gay, not to mention pounds lighter, when hot weather slip covers hide their up- holstered backs and seats. Windows seem wider and more in the spirit of spring and summer when light, frothy curtains replace more or less formal draperies. Clear crystal and pale pastel glass bowls substituted for the heirloom vases you prize so highly can change the feeling of a room.
 You begin practical creature that you are - by communicating the entire family to your cause. Father agrees to oil the screens, locate the awnings and brush them, take down the storm win dows.
