Taking alks

The Hips
Wear Comfortable
Outfit That Gives

By PATRICIA LINDSAY.

There is only one way to reduce
your hip measurement-that is by
persistently exercising, walking, and
dieting sanely. And this late autumn
weather Is ideal for the job
have q leafet for you which gives
you rolling, rubbing and rocking ex-
ercises to take the offending inches
from your hips. Choose the two or

bulges, and be loyal to them daily.

were not active enough to use up the

do mat exercises every day and get
out and walk.
II you can, walk as many as five
miles 4 day. Walk steadily for As

clothing. That is If you can. Other
wise. il you are busily engaged during
the day, gradually develop the habit of
walking to and from business, on small
errands, and just for pleasure As /
told you before. walking has become
fad in New York City. You make
1t fad. Get thinking you want" to
walk, not ride. But be sensible and
wear appropriate shoes. High spike

wearing them, don't walk far. But
do exercise more on the floor at home
One famous physical culture coach
once told me-"No exercise Is benefi-
cial to you unless you work up =
good sweat!" And that Is true. You
walk to discharge body poisons and to
work up good circulation so excess
food will not settle on your hips and
elsewhere in excess pounds! So you
see, freedom of movement without a
girdle, and a couple Of warm sweaters,
and skirt which permits a good stride
comprise the best walking outfit. Get
into them for a good hike over noun

One of the curious choices that most
women have to make Is between their
husbands and their children. Few
women ever realize this, but with the
advent of the first baby there are con-
f1icting calls made by their husbands
and their children upon their time,
their attentions, their interests and
their affections, and they have to de-
eide to which ones they will give the
most, and whether they will be most
mother or most wife.
OF course, in some families this prob
lem does not arise because the man
has the paternal instinct SO highly
developed that he joins his wife in
making a double sacrifice on the altar
of the children. The majority Of men,
however, look upon their offspring from
4 biological point OF view and regard
them as just part Of life, not its
whole, and they have no desire to give
up their wives just because they have
become fathers
Nor does a man expect to. and he
gets the surprise of his life when he
finds out that after the arrival Of
Junior his wife has literally no time
for him; that his taste and pleasures,
comforts and convenience are of no
consequence to her whatever as COM
pared with those of the little godling in
the cradle.
This Is the more of a shock because
until up to the minute OF the babys
birth the man has been the center OF
their little universe For him the wife
has adorned herself; for him she has
been bright and gay; for him she has
got up delicious little meals. His
pleasure has been her pleasure and
she has always been ready to step
out with him, or 60 OF cumming with
him.
There are plenty Of women who
never see their husbands as men again
after their first babies are born.
Thereafter their husbands are merely
the children's fathers whose sole func-
tion in the world Is to provide Injuries
for the youngsters. There are plenty
