Perfect posture IS one ot the flrst requisites of real beauty. No matter how pretty her face or lovely her hair and eyes are, the girl whose stomach protrudes backward simply won't be a beauty in the fullest sense of the term. If one is to be thought really beautiful, enc must sit, stand and walk corr5c:iy-beau- tifully.
 Begin by strengthening out your backbone. No exaggerated curve in the center of it, please. Just for get all you have been told about keeping shoulders back, chin up and in and think only of your spinal column. Once you have learned to hold your spine in as straight a line as possible, the other points of good posture become nothing at all tc worry about.
 Uncurving Your Backbone
 First of all, lie flat on the floor with arms at sides, knees bent so weight of legs rests on balls of feet. Now tilt the base of your spine slightly upward from the floor, at the same time pressing the rest of the backbone firmly against the hard surface.
 Notice how stomach disappears, how chest is elevated. If there is any space at all between the center Of your back and the floor, you are not doing the exercise correctly. Keep on trying until you can feel pressure on every vertebra except the four or bottom ones.
 Now get up and stand about a foot away from the wall. Let your body fall gently backward until the center of backbone touches the wall. Hold the position few seconds. When it no longer makes you miser- able to have the middle of your spinal column fiat against the hard surface, straighten shoulders and knees.
 Stand Against Wall With Spine
 Touching
 Do the two posture exercises for five minutes ever day for two weeks. And whenever you are stand ing against a wall, try to keep the center of your backbone against it. Sooner than you think, you'll begin to stand, walk and sit more grace fully. And if back is straight, chest will be high, stomach fiat, hips tilted forward
 Always sit with base and center of backbone against the back of the chair. When you walk, hold your head up, making the muscles at the sides of your neck support 1t. Imagine that you are suspended on slender wire, one end of which

Paris Style

NEXT: handsome.

Paris (UP)-With two skirts and seven blouses, smart French women, with budgets to worry about, are managing a different ensemble for street, sports, afternoon and eve ming wear every day in the week.
 One of the skirts is of silk jersey, pencil slim, ankle-length, slit up the left side to the knee; the other is pleatles street-length, and with straight lines. Each of the blouses goes with the street as well as the ankle-length skirt.
 Bruyere's finely pleated crepe blouse with short sleeves and tiny sports collar, fastened with a large jeweled clip, is good for sports or semi formal wear Another versatile crepe blouse is of printed material, with parallel navy blue inserts gath cred at the shoulders, bust and fitted waist. For evening wear a long, wide, detachable belt goes with it, and is wound three inches below the high waist, tied in front, with the ends flowing to the floor.
 Heavily embroidered, buttoned all the way down, three-quarters long blouses are popular for daytime and evening wear with either full-or- just above the e-elbow-length sleeves. Mannish tailored jackets, in plain or contrast-color stripes, are being worn with long and short skirts. The always important feminine touches are large, jeweled flower buttons, mammoth beaded necklaces with ends dropping into the breast pockets, huge net or chiffon hand kerchiefs hanging from the hip pockets.
 Lucille Paray has designed a dressy waist with a high, untrinmed neck line. Wide ruffles are at the shoul- ders of the puffed sleeves. and eX- tend to the yoke Jean Desses is showing an all-over diagonally striped blouse, fitted at the waist, with high flare in front suggest ing collar. The same flare is used on the sleeves.
 One of the newest blouses IS long, fitted satin one, with inch wide horizontal pleats from bust to hip. For afternoon wear, the sleeves are long and full. with six rows of pleats at the cuffs. The neckline is without trimming and plainly buttoned. For evening wear, the all-the-way-around zipper, hidden under the first pleat at the bust, completely unfastens, separating the top part of the blouse, including the sleeves. Thin shoulder straps are. then attached.

White Russians Observe
Belated Christmas TODAY
Faithful Gather At
St. Alexdnder'S
For Prayers

And that, in case you have for
gotten your Russian, means
'Merry Christmas"
For today is Christmas, under
the old Russian calendar, and
members of the Orthodox Church
living in the Capital gathered in
tiny st. Alexander's Church to
celebrate.
But in the great Soviet Embassy
on Sixteenth Street, where once
upon q time the day was cele-
brated with feasting and merri-
ment in the days Of the cZariSt
ambassadors, it was just another
day.
PRAYERS FOR CZAR
Those celebrating today are the
White Russians, those who fled
following the Bolshevist revolu.
tion, and as they gathered in the
church today they heard prayers
for the repose of their slain Gar
and his family, and they prayed
that the royal family might be
returned again to power.
There was only a handful OF
persons to attend the service.
Some were former officers Of the
army and navy, men who served
their country with honor.
Some bore high titles, members
of some of the most distinguished
families of the nation. Now they
are residing on foreign soil
some occupying menial positions,
in order that they may live. for
estates and wealth were confiS-
Gated in the revolution.
USE JULIAN CALENDAR
But today they gathered in their
church-the church that has been
abolished by the Soviet govern
ment on the MARKHAM theory that
religion is the opiate of the peo-
ple"-to pray, to exchange gifts
and to celebrate the great religious
feast Of the year.
The Orthodox Church still uses
the Julian calendar, placing the
Christmas celebration two weeks
later than that of other Christian
churches.
Father John Dorosh, priest of
the little church, did not mention
the political situation in Russia di-
rectly, but he did preach on the
need for world peace and he Of
fered prayers for the royal family.
At the Soviet Embassy no recog-
milton Of the day was given. At
taches explained that there are
mo religious holidays" recognized
any more.
To take the place Of Christmas,
the Soviet government has urged
the celebration of the new year,
and New Year Eve is the time of
feasting and merriment.
Trees, similar to our Christmas
trees, but known as New Year
trees" are erected, gifts are ex-
changed and the comrades greet
each other with:

This greeting is a wish for new
happiness in the new year."

COUPLE PLACED
ON PROBATION IN
PASSPORT CASE
Dancer, Musician Admit
Guilt in Court Here

Changing her plea to guilty"
an attractive young dancer, known
to the theatrical world as Hope
st. Clair, was sentenced by Justice
Joseph w. Cox in United States
District Court today to a suspended
prison sentence of one year to 10
months for presenting false aft
davit to the passport division Of
the State Department.
Harry Weiner, a musician, whose
band recently returned to the
United States from war-torn
Shanghai where they filled numer.
Gus engagements, previously had
pleaded guilty to the same charge
and was given similar sentence.
PUT ON PROBATION
Both were placed on probation
and must make routine reports
to Probation Officer Joseph Y.
Reeves.
The attractive young blonde was
indicted as Jane Doe, since the
Grand Jury knew the name Han
nah Weiner" she had given the
State Department was false.
Discovery of the offense was
made last July by the American
consul general at Shanghai. when
he radioed the State Department
that a young woman, believed to
be Polish national, was travelling
in the Orient under a false pass
port.
Investigation developed that
when the dancer and Weiner went
to the passport division Weiner
submitted the birth certificate Of
his sister, Hannah, and represent
ed it to be that Of his companion.
The passport was granted and

RETURNED TO U. S.
She had returned to this coun.-
try by the time the investigation
was completed and was located
in New York. Weiner was arrested
two months ago in Honolulu when
the President Hoover brought his
troupe, with other refugees, from
the war zone.
Attorney Robert I. Miller, coun-
sci for the pair, told Justice Cox
their crime was motivated by the
necessity for employment and was
not due to a desire to defraud the
Government. The jurist agreed.
Shortly after the passports were
issued to them the couple were
wed in New York, Miss st. Clair
stated at the time of her arrest.
