you.
MRS. r. M. o.
= Answer-1t would be perfectly safe
to agree with your husband on this
point If he would agree to wash the
ceilings the number of times neces-
sary to keep them clean. From the
standpoint Of appearance, the paint
ed ceiling is fine, but it takes great
deal Of strength and endurance to
scrub q ceiling and leave it un-
streaked. Kalsomine also is good, as
it can have a new coat of kalsomine
when it is soiled. You might as
sumo that using wall paper cleansers
on a papered ceiling is just as easy
and successful as scrubbing painted
one; since the appearance is as good,
you may use your personal pref
erence.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
I am making draperies for my
living room out of heavy fabric and
do not plan to line them. I have
put 3-inch hens at the bottom and
narrower ones at the sides. The
hens seem to pull up slightly and
the curtains do not hang properly.
Is there anything I can do to i'm
prove them without lining them?
MRS. D. F.
Answer-There are many decora-
tive trimmings and edgings which
you may purchase in the shops.
They finish the borders of your dra-
peries very nicely and give them q
little extra weight. They are also
much more fashionable now than
they have been since grandmother's
day. Why not band yours with a
matching or contrasting color? If q
little more weight is needed you may
sew small lead weights along the
lower hem, which will do the trick.
DEAR MISS NOVEL;:
have an L-shaped living room.
The entrance end has q fireplace
and is the usual size. The alcove is
9 by IL inches and has two large
windows. In this room I must ar
range the usual living room furni-
ture. Last year we purchased q
very fine grand piano, and this year
plan on getting radio-Victrola
with television. What would be your
suggestion for the room arrange
ment?
j. G.F
Answer-I would place the piano
In the alcove so that the light comes
onto the keyboard from the left. At
the right Of the piano place a deep
chair and a low table. A corner
seat. or rounded sofa would be
appropriate where the alcove juts
out Of the living room, SO that you
get the effect Of the music corner
without really shutting of the room

New Fashions
Require Tiny
Waistline
Correct Exercises
Help You Attain
A Good Figure
BY PATRICIA LINDSAY,

All of us want to be stylish yet
comfortable, and about the only way
we can be both today Is to attain q
figure whose natural lines are nipped
in at the waist, softly curved over
the hips and attractively full in the
bosom! A pretty tough order for
some of US, to say the least, but
where there is will there is q way!
Lie on your back and stretch all
you can. Stretch and yawn. Now
bend your knees and bring them up
toward your chest as far as you can.
Then clasp your hands together Just
below your knees and pull them
slowly up until you feel a pulling.
Then unclasp your hands and throw
your feet in the air, toes pointing.
Hold this position for a while, then
drop legs to bed and relax. Repeat
five times.
Stand with feet apart in front of
open window. Stretch arms high
above your head. Bend body from
the waist toward the left, pushing
your right side muscles and hip cut
to right. You bend only your right
knee. Don't twist body. Return to
position and still keeping arms
stretched high bend to the right.
Continue in this fashion for three
minutes.
Sit with legs spread apart and
hands on hips. Swing the body In
a complete circle-first clockwise 10
times, then counter -clockwise 10
times.
Now sit down and send a self-ad-
dressed, stamped (3-cent) envelope
to me care of this paper for my leaf
let, "Beautifying the Midriff," which
gives you some other simple but
efflcacious waist-slimming exercises

Younger
Sister
Embarrassment Is
Often Mistaken
For Cruelty
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Bruce is II and his sister Agnes is
10. Since the day that Bruce saw his
sister clearly he has done what he
could to make her life miserable.
If she looks at him he makes q
hideous face. rolling his eyes, stick
ing out his tongue. waggNng his
hands by his ears for finer effects.
Agnes fatters him by bursting into
tears.
Whenever Agnes speaks her mind
before other children Bruce informs
them that she is goose, a silly, a
Dumb Dora. and to pay no heed to
her. He completes his contribution
to his sisters unhappiness by making
a series of noises like zoo on the
rampage. all the time making faces
at her More tears.
At home he shoves her aside every
time he gets the chance. Father
and mother are alert to help Agnes,
but Bruce is usually ahead Of them
Agnes turns on the radio. Imme-
diate Bruce has to study, or prac-
tice, or has a severe headache that
clears like magic once the radio has
been turned of. Then he turns on
his program. Agnes seldom COM
plains about 1t and father and
mother seldom catch him at it.
why do, you cry for him2" they
demand. why don't you pay him
back In his own coin once In q while?
II you did he would not be 80 ready
to bother you. Stop crying and get
after him. Hold your own" But
Agnes shakes her head and weeps.
Not for the world will she hit back,
or complain, nor cease to love her
tormentor.
But there is hope. One afternoon
when the streets were full of chill
dren returning from school, Agnes
and another little girl were walking
toward home in the close intimacy
that little school girls enjoy so much.
Two lads, bigger than they, ran into
them, pushed them off their feet,
snatched their hats and kicked their
books into the gutter, having a good
time.
A thrashing whirlwind, seemingly
out Of nowhere, descended on them
two young bandits. It knocked their
heads together, punched them right
and left. rolled them into the gutter
after the books, and sent them run
ming for their lives. That was
Bruce.
"Pick up your things, you two.
Wonder you wouldn't look where
you're going. Walk ahead of me. And
don't snivel. Nobody hurt you" That
was brother Bruce, too.
Brothers are funny animals, even
the best Of them. They seem to think
that sisters are born for their spe-
fcial penance. Many of them feel
their brotherly responsibility so
keenly that they watch every move
ment their sisters make in an agony
Of fear lest they do something to
disgrace them. Sisters showing of,
failing in lessons or sports, attract
Ing unfavorable notice Of other boys
Is 50 painful to brothers that they
Eappear merciless when they are only
fearfully embarrassed.
BY and by this all passes over. II
the parents are wise and UNDER
standing, they keep directing the
boy by instruction and example to
better understanding of his sister.
Sister, in time, goes the rest Of the
way. Is very trying while 1t lasts,
but it does end happily most Of the
time.

those Of you who don't care for
mesh hose 1t may be interesting
to learn that at the distance from
your leg these look like chiffon
so that you may have the benefits
without the appearance you dislike
BY the way, it may also be Joy
to hear that these stockings come
in evening types as well as dressy
or sport weights, so you can Just
imagine how fine they are.
New Process for
Longer Wear.
OF course, one OF the finest
processes yet to be introduced is
the one which is said to insure
twice as long wear for your hose.
A new treatment of the silk makes
the hose more elastic, with stronger
f1bers, consequently assuring you
less snags and longer wear. The
girls in the department selling these
stockings have been wearing them
| to test them out, and unanimously
report that they get twice as much
mileage out of a pair. The process
is said to be rediscovery of q
Chinese method of preserving silk,
and they tell us that Washington
women-those who have thus far
discovered them-are hearty in their
approval. Can't say as we blame
them.
In addition to all these things,
stockings sized to fit your legs, as
well as your feet, are certainly grand
items. We have number of types
which come in short, medium and
long lengths, but were especially
interested in the story one buyer
told us about a certain well-pro-
portioned stocking. It seems that
the manufacturer sat down one day
and thought about building" hose
to suit every woman. He decided
that if girdles and corsets were in
dividually sized, stockings should
be the same, and proceeded to pro-
portion stockings in small, medium
and large leg sizes as we'll as q
classic" or super model. So
accurately are these made that blue
prints and plans are used in the
same manner that an architect
plans house. We have the word
of an eyewitness!
OF course, no story on hosiery
would be complete without word
on socks. Monogramming is the
big news here and every sock from
the ankle length to those knee-high
ones made for above knee skirts
are initiated. These longer stocks,
as you know, have been q great
favorite on the campus this year,
and with the added attraction Of
monograms worked in various man
ners there's just no end to the en-
thusiasm for them.
