street. etc, etc. Life was just one
gloom and disappointment after an
other to her.
Then the husband died and she
lost her children in a terrible auto
mobile accident. Her property was
swept away from her by the depres-
sion. Now she is a lonely and for
lorn old woman who spends her
time talking about how happy she
used to be, how good her husband
was, how she adored her children
and what a fine home she used to
live in. But she valued none of
them at the time.
A lot of women are like my friend.
They acquire the self-pity habit
which is every whit as demoralizing
as the dope habit. They get drunk
on their own tears and they get a
sadistic pleasure in torturing them
selves over imaginary wrongs.
I am continually appalled, over the
little things which women let ruin
their lives and the way in which they
can conjure up bogey men with
which to scare themselves A woman
will break her heart, for instance
over her husband having ceased to
love her because he doesn't act like
Clark Gable in the movies instead
of an overworked business man in
real life. She will consider herself
poor, neglected creature if he for
gets her birthday, and she will think
Of divorce and that life with him is
impossible If he turns on the light
when she has a yen for the dimness
of candles.
Certainly 1t is the irony of fate
that We so often never realize how
much we love our husbands or wives
or how kind they were to us until
they are gone where our remorse
and our grief cannot follow them
and when we pour into deaf ears the
appreciation and the admiration
that would have made them SO
happy while they were living.

Poor Posture
Will Cause
Fat Spots
Exercise COrrects
Any Signs of the
Old Age Hump
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY.

Dropping shoulders, hollow chest,
and flesh forming high or your back,
are all due indirectly to lazy control
OF your midriff muscles In other
words, your posture is poor and has
been poor for some time!
Contrary to belief, a dowager's
hump is not sign of old age. 1t
is unlovely, yes, and it is unually
pronounced when a woman reaches
her 40s. But actually, a dowager's S
hump begins to form when you are
very young if your posture is not
erect.
BY allowing your abdomen muscles
to become f1abby. your bosom falls
your shoulders drop and your chest
narrows. simultaneously your head
and chin are thrust forward and the
unlovely, aging pad of flesh forms
at the base of the neck. That flesh
should be distributed proportionately
down your back and on your chest
Leaning over desks and type
writer's, wearing clothes so heavy
that they pull you forward, or too
thick collars which do not allow your
neck and head to be held erect,
should be avoided. Shoes with too
extreme heels for easy and correct
carriage, sleeping with a very thick
pillow, walking in slouch, or wear
ing heavy bob of hair resting on
the nape Of your neck all tend to
round your shoulders and hollow
your chest. You should correct such
| tendencies and determine to carry
yourself tall" with regal grace at
all times!
You must strengthen the weak
ened muscles between your shoulder
blades and try to develop the pee
toral muscles at the sides of your
chest. These muscles help to firm
and hold the breasts in place and
permit your abdomen muscles to
grow strong enough to make correct
posture very natural Few women
have we'll developed pectoral muscles
unless they swim a great deal OF
play such arm games as tennis OF
badminton.
! Once dowager's hump has form
ed it requires patient exercise tc
Danish it, but if you will exercise
that obvious middle-age droop will
disappear.

This eaflet is also good for those

the upper body may be corrected.

Dorothy Dix Says
Many Never Appreciate Their
Possessions Until Too Late

Dear Miss Dix-I lost my husband
several months ago and the bitterest
drop in my cup of grief is that I
did not appreciate him until he was
gone, Like so many other wives,
was given to self-pity. I felt myself
neglected if my husband did not
come home bringing me candy or
flowers. or if he forgot my birthday.
1t never occurred to me to remember
that he had never spoken a cross
word to me and that he was always
kind and thoughtful and loyal I
write this in the hope that some
other woman married to a good man
will appreciate her blessing before
it is too late. LONELY.
Answer hope so. too for it al
ways seems to me that one of the
greatest tragedies in the world is
that so few people ever appreciate
the blessings they have, or know that
they are happy when they are happy.
1t is only after sorrow comes to them
that they realize that they once
held priceless jewel in their hands
and that they never noticed it or en-
joyed it while it was in their posses
sion.

kindness and tenderness itself to her.
She had fine children, a beautiful
home and enough money to supply
her with every comfort, but she was
always unhappy, discontented and
fretful. She found continual fault
with her husband. He didn't like to
go to parties. He liked to read of
evenings. He wasn't romantic. He
was too much interested in his busi-
ness.
She was always wailing over being
tied down by the children: about
their being noisy and mischievous;

and outgrew their clothes. Her

the human body as we'll as textures
of materials. During the renais-
sance and up to the beginning of the
10th century Brussels was the CEN
ter of all tapestry making When
the craft showed signs of decay in
Brussels because of overproduction
at the expense of excellence, France
became the great center of the art
and up to the present day her
prestige has never been questioned.
America has led the field in in
terest and purchase rather than
as artist and weaver. To museums
and private collections in the United
States have come some of the finest
examples of this work that the world
has ever produced. Because of this
you and I may feast our eyes on
what the world has accomplished
in this highest form of the weavers'
art.
Old Pieces Portrayed
Historic Events.
Long before books were written,
the history of civilization was por-
trayed by tapestry; after books were
written the story was still told more
beautifully and more forcefully in
this medium. The great Italian
artists interpreted the life of Christ
in tapestry. The art at Brussels has
kept for all time the delightful cos
tunes and fairy-tale events of the
middle ages. Years went into the
making of these pieces: needless to
say they are almost worth their
weight in gold.
The Corcoran Gallery of Art, here
in Washington has as fine a COL
lection of the various periods OF
tapestry making as can be found
anywhere in the world. The four
Gothic tapestries, part of the w. A.
Clark collection, are very rare and
very fine; they may be found in the
Clark wing. They are hunting scenes
of the Duke of Burgundy and you
may stand before them lost for some
time in the wonder of the costumes.

both of which are equally efficient
and the results almost identical
During the years when the finest
tapestries were made the high loom
was used, and because of this it
is often termed the better, but
there have been notable examples
from the low loom also, and the
weavers themselves cannot tell
which they prefer.
Originally tapestry factory was
under a director who commanded
various persons required for the
work. Each tapestry had director
who made the cartoon" for the
piece. He also had the power to
select the silks and woods for the
proper Interpretation of his idea.
Under him was an artist weaver
and under him the actual weavers.
Then there were the apprentices
who fetched and carried and did
odd jobs for three years before
they were permitted to try their
hand at piece to show their own
skill. In addition to the actual
work on the loom there were the
dyers who prepared the thread
for the tapestry. AS the color in
the thread served the weaver as
the tubes of paint serve the artist
it was necessary that the dying
be carried out with the greatest
precision. That they did an ex-
cellent job cannot be doubted
when our eyes rest on the rich
colors that have withstood dust, sum-
and air for five hundred years
with no change in tone.
Guild Controlled
The Industry.
The whole tapestry industry was
guided, protected and controlled by
a guild which was very strict and
kept the art up to the highest
standards. The guild set up laws
to keep competition out, and as the
years went on and they had more
work than they could handle they
began to speed up at the cost of
the quality of the work, with the
result that their business was soon
destroyed.
The early Gothic period between
l475 and 1920 showed the first great
difference between the fiat pictorial
effects of the aboriginal type of
tapestry, such as those made by the
Indians of Peru, and the modelled
effect which came with better draw
ing and improved weaving methods.
At that time human faces and fig
ures instead of being distorted
blank now were able to show subtle
shades of expression and motion of
