REALITY.
Gloriying Yourself
By Alicia Hart
Nea Service stah Writer

Nea Service Stan Writer
 For one who wants to lose more than a very few pounds, there real ly is no extremely simple, extremely amusing way to get rid of them. And unless you are just naturally thin, the rules for keeping slim and trim through the years aren't exactly conducive to fun either.
 However, losing weight without endangering your health or keeping from gaining pound upon pound year after year aren't impossible. And either can be less unpleasant than one would think from some of the diet conversations that go on. Staying slender is a simple, even though slightly disciplinary, matter of eating sensibly and taking 8 req sonable amount of exercise. Losing several pounds is 8 matter of get- ting along on a good deal less food than you are accustomed to eating, exercising regularly and energetical- ly.
 The girl whose waistline got slightly thick during the holiday season might, for the next few weeks, have only fruit and a hot beverage for breakfast, salad and fruit and a glass of milk for lunch. For dinner she can order whatever strikes her fancy-but no second helpings and, of course, fairly light desserts. She ought to walk at least a mile day. do limbermg and stretching and bending exercises every morning.
 The woman who is greatly over weight might, if her doctor agrees, go on a liquid diet for three days, then figure out way to eat enough every day to ward of disagreeable hunger yet not add up to more than 1000 calories. Calorie charts are easy to obtain, and anyone who is seri- ous about slimming down ought to get one.
 Exercise, unless the doctor ad- vises otherwise, Is just as important as the right diet. She. should learn how to do three or four exercises especially recommended for the hips, as many for waiStline, arms and thighs-then do them every single day. It is a mistake to plan to lose much weight by diet alone. Unless you exercise while you are dieting, you are likely to end up with fiabby muscles and sagging skin.
 NEXT: New exercises.

 Your
 Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

Marie had always wanted to learn, music, so on her eighth birahday a van backed up to the door and men carried in Tom Thumb piano.
 She was wild with joy and im- mediately sat down on the stool, crashing out wild discords, as chil- dren will, and pretending she knew all about it.
 Next day she was taken to Miss CarrolPS studio and enrolled as a pupil, the first lesson to begin the following week.
 Marie, in the interval, with little ear for tune, which some few chil- dren are born with, could not even pick out Peter Peter or even Chop Sticks. She went through the mo- tions of playing grand concertes, because she thought that was what she would be doing in no time.
 Then the Rebellion
 But, of course, Miss Carroll began at the beginnings and Marie was given the usual ABC books with assigned lessons and consisting of notes and easy scales,
 She would not practice, and after g month of very dull work, or what she decided was dull, she announced that she was not going to take any more lessons. 7
 Her parents talked it over, and finally decided that perhaps another studio across town, that was teach ing a new method, could do some thing about Marie. This studio used the ear method at first, and taught appreciation of sound, before both- ering too much with the technical part of it. This had to come, but first the children were being con- ditioned to a love of music.
 So Marie was given another start. At first all went well, but then something happened. As before, she said she didn't like lessons and had decided that she thought a violin would be better. It had only four strings instead of a million keys to remember. But no violin came her way. Instead, she got good lecture on work, and on nothing worth while being easy.
 A Lesson In Learning
 There is no magic. my dear" said her mother. "that will make you into player in a month, or year or even several years. You can't go through public school in less than six or seven years, and more after that. It's the same with mu- sic lessons. A little at a time and going over and over what you al- ready know. Patience and work, this is the only way"
 Docs everybody have to learn that way? Did MT. Smith at the church learn the same as me? And Sally's mother? Did she have to do her do-re-mi's first, and just poke along?"
 Exactly. Now make up your mind, Marie. You don't have to study music, not if you are going to hate it. But let me know tomor- TOW. Think it over. want you to talk to yourself and decide whether you are going to do easy things, or be a real worker"
 Marie, at her own request went back to Miss Carroll. She walked in like a real soldier. "I am going to do whatever you tell me" she announced, land I'll practice real hard. I've made up my mind" | Copyright, 1888, NEA Service Incl
