IF YOU'RE SHORT ACT TALL
by Sylvia Blythe

RF YOU are the half-pint size - five
feet-four-inches and under - you
have many odds in your favor.
You can play the feminine role to
fare -you-well. be as beguiling as you
like in little girl' clothes, and spur
the ego of every male escort. But be
sure to make every inch count.
Many little woman has stretched
out her length with commanding pos
ture and tall-making clothes. An
example is Lily Pons, who is only
fve-feet-two-inches tall, but who acts,
walks and dresses tall so convinc-
ingly that opera and concert critics
have often referred to her as the
legal Miss Pons."
- Good posture is essential she
says. 1T can't be ignored by any

vice, and pull up all slack flesh and
muscles that sag around the bone

your shoulders back. Mark off the new
posture on the wall, and see If you
have not actually added two inches

Miss Pons walks out on the stage. her
carriage makes up for any deficiency

Concentrate details at the neckline

m HE most efficient housekeeper
of our modern day, it is feared.
would probably be entirely
dumbfounded should she, by some
trick of time, suddenly be cast back
into an early American household.
The quaint household terms so
common in colonial days would hold
little meaning for her. She might be
told that the 'snit" sorely needed
polishing and not know that the
object referred to was the candle
snuffer. The expression "snit" or
"snyte" was adopted from the old
English "snyten," meaning to blow
out or put out the candle.
She would hear small cups called
sneak cups" and sugar bowls called
sugar boxes" She would find that
vegetable dishes were known as
basins" and milk pitchers as levers
She would discover, when asked to
help with the 'twifflers, that she
was expected to fill up the pudding
dishes. A carpet, she would learn, was
not a floor covering but rather cover
ing for a table or chest.
ow relatively simple it is for us
to outfit ourselves with pair
of shoes. The frstcomers to
these shores had to be content with
homemade shoes, generally the handi-
work of a father or brother.
1t was not long, though, before the
itinerant shoemaker appeared on the
early American scene. His equipment
usually was limited to few lasts,
an assortment of avis, hammer and
a stout leather apron. The house
holder-customer furnished the leather
for the family's shoes - purchasing it
from the nearest tannery. The cob
bler's services were always booked
and contracted for in advance. His
sojourn at the customers home was
determined by the number of pairs he
was to produce. Generally, part of his
nav would be in board and lodging.

THE SPEED-UP IN THE D. ].

The difference in activity in the
Department of Justice since Frank
Murphy took charge is almost in
credible. Records of crooked federal
Judges are being overhauled-Man-
ton is merely the first though possibly
the worst. A sane, determined effort
is being made to enforce the anti
trust laws. Among the many moves
on this line is an inquiry before a
federal grand jury in the Southern
District of California on the oil mo-
nopoly.
The majors" meaning the COM
panies which control 85 per cent of
the gasoline handled on the Pacific
Coast, in April, 1886, raised prices
of gasoline from to Az cents a gal
lon throughout the coast area. In
March, 1887, another one-half cent
per gallon was added. No good rea-
son exists why a grand jury shouldn't
have probed this business three years
ago-except the absence of Frank
Murphy from the top of the depart
ment.
