Keep house comfortably, keep
looking slim and neat and keep
your budget within bounds, too, all
by making and wearing this ex-
tremely practical, good looking dress.
You can turn it out in a few hours
the diagram shows you how simple
1t is to cut out and put together.
A few simple darts on the shoulders
to take care of bust fullness, a few
more at the waist to give you a
slim, trim line-that's all the fitting
there is to it. Deep armholes and
unbelted waistline give plenty of
freedom for action.
Gingham, calico, percale and
broadcloth are sturdy cottons for
this practical design.

Fashionable
Bustline Is
Exercise Regularly
Will Strengthen
Your Muscles
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

A woman's bustline can be vastly
improved by strengthening the mus
cles which control it, just as easily
as other parts of ones anatomy
can be nodded into appealing lines.
I'm convinced that exercise is the
only means of improving the bust
line, whether you are fiat chested
or are too heavy.
First of all good posture is nee
essary, and if you do not as habit
walk proudly with head up, abdo-
men in and chest out you must
begin at once to develop the habit.
I have seen girls increase their
apparent fiat chests several inches
just by learning to walk correctly!
If you will learn to forcibly push
your bosom outward by inhaling
deeply and holding the muscles
tense you will beautify this line.
The thin woman will find she ex-
pands noticeably, and the fat wom-
an will gradually firm her breasts
which reduces them slightly.
Another grand exercise is a very
simple one: Stand erect before an
open window, shoulders we'll back,
heels about 3 inches apart, arms
held out even with shoulder line.
Turn your palms so they face
the ceiling and twirl your arms
20 times backward and 20 times
forward, keeping the action in the
shoulder joints. Then inhale deeply
20 times to raise the thorax.
Clasp your hands behind your
head and stretch first your right
side and then stretch your left
side. AS you stretch, your elbow
will point upward, and you can &C
tually see the breast pulled upward
at least 2 inches. This should be
practiced regularly every morning
and whenever you feel like stretch
ing a kink out of your back!
These three exercises are planned
to firm your pectoral muscles
whether you are thin or fat. The
bust problem is always the "up-
lift" We permit ourselves to droop
and our busts sag, pulling on the
muscles which hold them. If we
conscientiously exercise to firm
those muscles we will uplift our
busts, pull in our diaphragm and
have figure lovely to behold.
But no bust exercise will do you
a mite of good unless you give it a
fair chance. Every day for a month
(during which time you correct
your posture) is about the only
way you can judge the efficacy of
any exercise.
In the meantime you might shop
around and purchase brassiere
which will help to hold you up.
There are those with adjustable
shoulder straps and various sizes of
pockets. Take the time to be fitted
at the shop by the buyer of the de-
partment, who should be able to give
you an intelligent helping hand.
Do not, however, buy one which
binds you across the diaphragm,
for good posture demands full
breathing, and you cannot breathe
as deeply as you should If your
bras is too tight.
There are some splendid ex-
ercises in my leaflet, "How to Ac-
quire . Fashionable Bustline."

Discussions
On Women
Mothers Should No1
Be Deprived of
The PRIVILEGE
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Women, being people, have many
OF the instincts, gifts and abilities
that men have, among them the
desire, the spiritual need. to work
for their living outside of the home
Some women do not have this need
others feel 1t keenly and the career
OF motherhood does not lessen it.
The financial needs of today have
made many mothers continue In
their outside work. Many husbands
are working on reduced pay; others
are out Of work. The children are
to be provided for, and under the
circumstances the mother, who has
work or who can find it, does the
best she can with her two jobs
Necessity knows no law.
What I would point out here is
that this necessity is not only ma
terial one, active only in times of
financial stress, but a spiritual one,
urgent in good times and bad. To
some women their chosen work is
as vital as their need of home and
children. To deprive them of it
would be the height of cruelty for
it would be the denial of their souls
great need.
Work Is mans highest privilege.
1t is not to be denied any man or any
woman. 1t is not something to be
granted by any ones favor, but a
human need to be recognized by all
concerned, lawmakers, employers
and workers alike.
AS I see it nobody should be de-
MED his right to work because of
sex, social position, race, color or
creed. 1t is wrong to dismiss good
worker because there is some one in
great financial need. Garry that
principle into the social fabric and
you have snarled result that helps
nobody and Injuries everybody. No
body should be deprived of work be-
cause of marriage, motherhood, or
bachelorhood. Who is to judge?
Depriving people of work because of
the color of their skin or the SYM
Dol on the church they attend is too
stupid for words. All this notion of
making persons work depend upon
anything but his ability to perform
it is stupid, and the sooner it is for
gotten the better.
am especially interested in the
cause of working mothers. Mothers
as rule do not neglect their chill
dren. They are usually found lean
ing far to the other side. They
sacrifice themselves for the family.
When mother goes out to work to
earn money to give the children
better home, better education,
better start than they could have
otherwise. they ought to be cheered,
not stoned.
Marriage has two partners. The
two work together to establish
home and rear a family. If the
mother stays in the house she works
as hard and often much harder,
than her husband does in his out
side job. She scrubs, paints, cooks,
washes, irons, mends. nurses, shops,
manages, from daylight to dark and
between times carries and delivers
the children. Measure that job
alongside the one in Office, shop or
studio. Then be quite candid about
saying that woman ought to live
the sheltered. secluded. protected
life of the home. And be quite
honest and say, along with me, that
after all. we know little about the
matter because it is every woman's
own business.
That's the situation. Each wom-
an, every mother, should be allowed
to make her own decision. without
unjust criticism. They have enough
to bear without that.

SO, you girls who are all tied up
IN a TOO exclusive friendship with
another girl, loosen it up! Spread ont
a olt. Remember you're now at the
age when you should be acquiring a
knowledge of many maids and men
broadening your knowledge and vour
understanding, enriching your ex-
perlence, adding to your insight into
human nature. You can't do that bv
confnlng your contacts to one per-
son.
Boys are not quite so apt to oct
involved in these closer-than.a.
brother combinations as are girls.
But the same tip on having as MANY
1rlends as possible of both sexes
applles to them.
A girl will get pretty sick of hsv-
Ing you call her for date. and then
invariably asking her to fix things
up for your pal, Mortimer. She'll get
just as annoyed if you do the fixing
yourself. but always drag along
Mortimer and his girl Geraldine,
whom she may dislike enthusiastic
cally.
Even though you double-date fre.
quently. break it up now and then,
A girl likes to think that she can be
entertaining enough to interest YOU
all by herself, without the help OF
another couple.
And other fellows won't be as
likely to include you in their gang
doings If you and Mortimer are such
lnseparable friends that you can't
loosen up and merely be other fell
lows in the crowd. So keep your
bosom buddy-but don't make him
too bosom.
Here Is Good Advice
For Newlyweds.
There's good sense in the above
advice for young married couples, too.
If the Browns and the Smiths always
do everything together, they won't
often be invited to do other things
with other people. A hostess would
like to feel that. once in a while,
she could invite the Smiths without
including the Browns. 1t may be
that she just hasn't room for both
couples so. rather than invite one
and not the other, she omits both.
And that won't help either the
Smiths or the Browns to have fun
and get around.

Dorothy Dix Says
Tact and Common Sense Assets
Daughters.in.Law Need Most

DEAR MISS DIX: I have found
that the greatest amount of un-
happiness among young couples
comes from the belief that so many
young wives entertain that the
mother-in-law is the young wife's
enemy. When you get under the
surface you discover that the rea-
son for this state of mind is
lot of curious theories that have
gotten into print and have been
accepted as facts. I have two nieces
who are the victims of the hate
your mother in = law propaganda.
Anything that degrades a mans
mother fits right in with their
point of view. They are spoiled,
and all the sins that go with spoiled
youths are theirs, and they don't
even attempt to get along with their
mothers-in-law. And I know many
other little bird-brain girls who
treat their mothers -in-law as If
they had leprosy. I have had
long and happy married life, and
for nine years my husbands mother
lived with us. She was just an
average old lady who loved her only
son, but she was my husbands
mother, and that alone made her
something very special to me. I
made her last years happy and
never looked upon her as an in
truder or an outsider. She was my
family. You should impress upon
your readers that a boys mother
has just as much right to be hon.
ored and respected as girls
mother, and If you can make young
wives believe that there will be
fewer divorces.
A WOMAN OF SIXTY.
AnSWer-TheSe are wise words
that my correspondent writes and I
wish that every young married
woman would read them. It is true
that most brides do 60 into their
husbands families with a chip on
their shoulders that they dare any
OF his people to knock of, and
that they look upon their mothers
in-law as potential enemies upon
whom they should keep a wary eye.
OF course, it is also true that

kitchen should do in both cases.
Times and gadgets do change, so if
you are new at the game here Is
what it takes" and if you are an
old hand this is chance to keep up
with the younger generation and
hold your own against the new COM
petitors.
First of all, you know by now
what your life will demand and
what your husband likes to eat. If
you are going to have a cook she
will have her pet gadgets, and no
matter how much you may be
welded to yours they will never be
right for her. Planning your
kitchen is like washing your face
no one can do proper job on it but
you. However, you must start some
where, and since the main require
ment of kitchen is to have enough
utensils to cook two-vegetable
meal for four or six, let's start from
there with list of requisites.
POTS AND PANS.
/ Large heavy metal frying pan with
cover to fit.
l Small heavy frying pan.
/ Non metal double boiler.
2 Large pots with lids.
! Deep fat frying basket to fit one
of the pots.
2 Small pots with lids.
! Rooster (covered) with steam
vent.
! Tea pot.
] Baking dish that can come to the
table.
! Pie pan.
2 Cake pans-same size.
/ Angel cake pan.
l Muffin pan.
l Ring mold.
l Cookie Sheet.
/ Coffee pot.
! Large tea kettle.
Is there anything you couldn't
concoct with this, from breakfast
through luncheon, tea and dinner?
But here is one suggestion: Buy the
best that the budget will stand. If
you are caring for them yourself it
will be an eternal satisfaction; If
not. they will stand poor treatment
and like it!
Investigate Materials
Before Purchasing.
Many of these are lifetime invest
ments, so don't start behind the
times. Find out something about
materials, old and new, for each has
definite advantages. Copper is the
best conductor, but unless you love
to spend the sunny days polishing,
buy it topped and surfaced with
something else. Enamel is beauti-
full and colorful and can now be
purchased in heavy gauge, guaran-
teed against chipping. Stainless
steel is the easiest of the metals to
keep clean. Glass is easy to clean
when the surfaces are kept simple,
look out for tricky edges, deco
rations and handles. Earthenware
is inexpensive, durable only in care
full hands and conducts very evenly.

son to whom you feel that YOU can
tell everything" We know the 10y
OF condolences fully shared, of long
giggling talks when you should be
studying or sleeping. We under
stand how important 1t is to have
some friend whom you trust i'm
pllcitly. Such friendships are fine in
themselves, and every young person
I should have them.
But, for the sake of your popular
lty and your personality, don't overdo
it.
Grace and Elviria can't understand
why they aren't more popular. They
are as attractive as most girls they
know, but their dating books con-
tain nothing but blank pages. And
when group of girls in their neigh
borhood recently formed club. they
were left out. 1t has never occurred
to Grace and Elvira that their
friendship is such an all-inclusive
and al-exclusive affair that neither
fellows nor girls have the courage
to trespass upon it.
1t Is Very Obvious That
They Must Branch Out.
The only way that these two girls
can correct this situation is to start
branching out bit. Probably they'll
have to talk things over frankly. ad-
mitting that something must be done,
and have the courage to do it-for
the sake of each other.
Then Grace will have to walk
home from school with some of the
other girls, without Elvira tagging
along. Ervira will have to call up
Mabel or Dorothy or Babs to talk
about a class assignment. instead
OF merely calling Grace. They can
still continue to be together often,
but not constantly. They can let
their friends know, subtly and grad
ually, that they are not Siamese
twins. They can show that they
are ready and eager to have other
friends and other contacts. Not as
substitutes for their existing friend
ship, but in addition to it.
And what will happen? Because
Grace and Elvira are both attractive
girls, the other maids in their class
will welcome them into their good
times. They may be little slow
about it. because this closed cor
poration" has existed so long that
it will take some time to prove that
the bonds have been loosened bit.
