Keep Figure
In Trim by
Bowling
Masculine Game
Popular Sport
For Women
By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

II your winter exercising can be
at the same time a recreation there
is likelihood that you will embrace
it more readily. Certain indoor
games such as tennis, badminton
basket ball and others, offer a solu-
ton to your problem of how to keep
in trim during the shut-in weather
Bowling is one sport which has
steadily grown in favor among
American women in the past few
years. Possibly because men like it
too. and it is not so strenuous as a
fast game of badminton or tennis.
While at the same time it does keep
muscles supple and blood circula-
ton aroused. And that, after all, is
what you need.
In Hollywood bowling is pastime
Of the feminine stars. They claim
that it relaxes their minds and
nerves and helps to keep their fig
ures svelte. At some of the larger
universities co-eds consider bowling
! good protection against sluggish
systems
Don't be misled into thinking that
only your arms benefit when you
bowl. Only about 20 per cent of the
actual work Is done with your arms.
The back, the hips and the waist
are all exercised easily and rhyth-
mically, and one hour of bowling,
twice week, will do wonders to
keep excess pounds under control.
In fact, If you do not eat directly
after bowling, it can actually reduce
your weight.
According to the experts there are
few things for the novice to learn
at once. The regulation bowling
ball weighs Is pounds. but If you
are beginner. you should use a
lighter ball. There is a special IL
pound ball made for women and
after you have mastered some of
the games f1nesse, you may gradu-
ally use heavier balls until a 16-
pound mineralite does not seem too
cumbersome.
And here's tip which will help
you to get high scores even if you
are little Miss Beginner, Do not try
for too much speed in rolling your
ball!
A slow ball will create just as
much havoc with the naples Tor
| pins) as q fast ball. You should
| aim for what the experts call the
N3 pocket. That Is the point be.
tween the pin at the apex and the
one at its right-as you stand ready
to roll the ball.
If you keep these points in mind
you will make a good bowler in a
short time and what is vastly more
important. you will be bowling your
way to figure symmetry.
Th1rtieth Day.
Today ends your diet. If you have
lost suf'icient weight repeat Part of
the diet. If you wish to reduce
more repeat Part II of the diet, vary

The idea back of all of this effort
is our attempt to extend the Christ
mas spirit beyond our own thresh-
old. Gayety. jollity and the CIV
ing Of happiness is a modern way
of celebrating the birth of the Christ
child. The star over Bethlehem,
the lighted candles in the cottage
in the small village, the illuminated
and decorated houses in the big
cities all express the same thought
in their separate ways. This is not
time for hamboyant effects, nor
an attempt to out-do the house next
door, but a real neighborly effort to
help your community do its share in
the Christmas cheer of the whole
city, which each house individually
expresses to all who pass that way.

Remember that the director is

Dorothy Dix Says
Jealousy and Accusation May
Make Husband a Philanderer

even ask his Aunt Jemlma to lunch
with him down town. Make him know
that if he is polite to his hostess at
a dinner party, or if he shows he
enjoys the conversation of an enter
tanning dinner partner, or if he asks
a girl to dance that you will have
Mysteries as soon as you get nome,
and keep him awake half the night
quarreling with him.
He will learn how to hide every
thing he does from you, and to tell
you falsehoods about where he has
been, what he did. and whom he saw
when he knows the price he has to
pay for telling the truth. But he
won't love you for it. There is moth
ing that makes man hate his wife
so much as being afraid of her.
Anyway. when you come down to
brass tacks, don't you think your
jealousy is pretty foolish? Your hus-
among all the other girls in the
world Isn't that enough proof to
you that you are the one he preferred
above all others? Can't you keep
your mind concentrated on that in
stead of thinking that you haven't
as beautiful eyes as Mary has, nor as
slim a figure as Sally has, nor as en-
tertaining line as Margie has? You
may wonder what he saw in you to
want you, but it was there for him. or
else he would have passed you by.
If you can hold on to that thought,
perhaps it will be cure for your in
feriority complex.
But take it from me. one thing is
certain. If you were as beautiful as
Miss America herself and as glamor-
Gus rs a movie star and as witty as
Dorothy Parker, it wouldn't offset
your quarreling with your husband
about every time he speaks to a
woman.

Dear Miss Dix-I have been mar
ried two years to the finest man God
ever let live. but my trouble is this:
When my husband looks at another
girl it makes me feel as if he is COM
pairing me to her to my disadvantage,
and this makes me envious of her
clothes. money and looks. He thinks
I am jealous and We quarrel over it.,
and this makes me unhappy. But he
loves me dearly. Please suggest a
cure for this attitude of mine.
MADAM x.
Answer:
Well, I don't think your husband
will love you dearly very long If you
continue to torture him with your
senseless jealousy. There is nothing
that man reSents more than in
justice from his wife, and nothing
that you can possibly do will kill
your husbands affection for you so
quickly as for you to be always ac-
cusing him of sins he has never
committed.

surest way to do it by making him
believe that he is such devil among

plans AS soon as possible so that
you will not be calling for the cleo
trician when every one else wants
him, too!
Make plan for the decoration of
your house, utilizing and accenting
all its best points. If its entrance
door is gracious and in fine design,
make that the focal point of the
plan, setting it off with evergreens
and lights to express to each arrival
the hospitality and greeting of your
household before the door is opened.
If your doorway is at the side
or is unlmportant, you may use to
advantage little balcony under a
window. filled with lighted Christ
mas trees, or serving as an excellent
point from which to drape evergreen
garlandS if it is on the second floor.
Maybe you have lovely arched
window, or group of three that
might frame a beautifully illumi-
mated creche. There are dozens of
ideas that may be worked out after
you have selected your best outdoor
point of vantage. After that, pro-
ceed to do the actual decorating in
the simplest, most effective manner,
keeping in mind the fact that the
finished effect will be viewed at
some distance and all intricate de-
tail will be lost.
Expressing the
Christmas Spirit.
No matter what new gadgets are
Invented there is still nothing that
SO expresses the spirit of Christmas
as a profusion of evergreen with
its fragrant odor. If one wishes to
get the decorating problem down
to its simplest form, two lighted
Christmas trees at either side of
the front entrance are always ef-
fective.
If you have a houseful of roll
licking children. and you have
brought them up to like good
old-fashioned Christmas, let them
IN on the fun of decorating. Gone
are the days when you piled them
all in sleigh and drove out into
the woods to gather the Christmas
greens, for trees in the vicinity of
cities must be preserved, SO that
the next generation may recognize
them. But you can order your
greens from the market, and the
young guns can make the garlands
and the wreaths, dashing around
in the cold to put them up. A
rough sketch from your pen of
what you would like carried out
will guide them, and house trim
ming party can be as much fun as
a tree trimming party.

Books Ideal
.Children's
Present
Be Sure Contents
Is Suitable for
Youngsters
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Books are ideal Christmas gifts for
boys and girls. The gift each child
should find on Christmas morning,
among the toys and caps and nit
tens, is the one that will last through
the years. The better the book the
more the child will like it, and the
longer he will cherish it.
No doubt you still remember the
first time you read Tom Sawyer.
You would give a great deal to be
able to buy that first time again.
Failing that, you can buy it for an
other child, one in whose delight you
can thrill again to the fine story.
You cannot bring back that first JOY
that thrilled your inmost being, but
you can warm your heart once more
in knowing that you helped a child
to have this pleasure. You will feel
something of the old glow as you dis
cover yourself forever associated in
the memory of this child, with one
of the happiest hours of his child
hood. The price of good book is
cheap in consideration of what it
buys for you, who give it this Christ
mas time.
Good books cost money, plenty OF
it. usually. One must think twice
about spending two or three dollars
for one. especially just now when
things are so expensive that neces-
sites have to be skimped. But a
good book is necessity to the soul
of q child and this is rare occasion.
Stretch things, if possible, to cover
the book.
Search among the reprints and
you will find some splendid books at
lower prices: some of the very best
can be had for much less than q
dollar. Look at the authors name
and be sure of what you get. A poor
story is not worth buying at any
price: the child who gets one Is dis
appointed in it and is prejudiced
against all books In consequence.
Christmas books have a bad name
among the youngsters because some
mistaken friend got a bargain, There
are bargains. but one must know the
bad from the good or he will make
all unfortunate mistake.
Some of the old books ought to be
in every child's hands. Captains
Courageous Treasure Island" I"
"Davy and the Goblin" David Cop
perfield," "Silas Mariner" the Bible
and the Dictionary. For the girls
add to these "Rebecca Of Sunny
brook Farm" Anne Of Green
Gables" and "Girls Who Dared"
They will love the others, but they
will like these, too.
Among the new story books is one
I like hugely. 1t brings new boy
friend to the circle of American boys
and girls. He is truly an American
boy, who was born in this country,
who grew up right in his own village.
one of the crowd. You'll like Jerry
of Seven Mile Creek" You just
can't help liking him. Knowing him
is going to be treat for any boy or
girl who can read.
Whatever book you buy make sure
that it suits the child who is to own
1t; don't give scientific text to an
athletic youngster who does not
know one chemical element from an
other. Make the book fit the child,
for it is certain you can't make the
child fit the book. And be sure of
the print, the paper and the binding
First of all. make sure of your
author. He signs his book not only
with his name, but with his soul,
something extremely important for
you to remember.
