The Secret


this pop The turkey in The
oven early in the morning, Civ
ing it plenty of time to roast and
be well done before dinner time.
Then you can m a k e up the
gravy and leave it steaming in
the electric rooster.
Cook the potatoes an hour or
two before dinner; whip them
up with lots of butter, hot milk,
pepper and salt, and place in an
other pan in the rooster. If it's
mashed turnips you're having,
they, too, can be mashed and
seasoned and pla &c d in the
rooster.
AS for the salad, relishes and
sauces. they come direct from
the refrigerator at serving time.
Happy Thought
After every one is assembled
in the living room. you, the hos
tess, can sit slipping cocktails
knowing tn t as every one
gathers round the dining room
table, you can open the oven
door and the rooster, and take
the complete meal out piping
hot. Simple. isn't it?
If you're having house guests
over the holidays, be sure to put
your electric or gas oven or cleo
trio rooster again into good use.
Some of the following combina-
1iens may be helpful to you.
A planked steak with border
of mashed potatoes, buttered
mushroom caps, quartered toma-
toes dipped in buttered crumbs,
and glazed onions would be just
right with ice cream and cake
for dessert.
Luncheon Specially
A dandy luncheon combination
might include a spaghetti cas-
serole topped with crisp broiled
bacon, lettuce salad, sponge cake
and hot chocolate sauce.
Roast duck with peanut stuff
ing, giblet gravy, currant jelly,
mashed potatoes. b a by lima
beans, mint glazed carrots, pine
apple salad and fruit cake form
another combination which the
electric rooster viii help you to
turn out to perfection.

Cool Romance
Typical Of
Our Era
BY HELEN ROWLAND

REAM LINED RO-
MANCES, with their frigidaire
love-making and languid kisses,
may not be as good box office al
the old dramas of the jazz
decade, but they are as typical
of the age as chromium furni-
ture and as soothing as an Ice
bag on a fevered brow. -
A MAN Is never quite sure
what type of girl would make
him perfectly happy until he has
married the other kind. =, IF
HEAVEN created
love, the devil decided that it
would make lifegtoo much like
Paradise for man, so he invented
jealousy, to give it touch of
hell.
A WOMAN'S TEARS don't
affect man any more. He
merely waits for the shower to
let up, and then walks off, In
dignified disgust, like a cat after
a bath. That is why girls never
cry unless they are angry.
AGREE with that famous
actress, who remarked, II would
not be such a fool as to marry
any man, who would be fool
enough to marry a woman who
is already welded to her pro-
fessional success"
THE TRAGIC thing about
love is that if you do not love a
man too much for your own
peace of mind. you do not love
him enough to put UP with his
idiosyncracies-
TO ESTIMATE a girls age,
first ask her what ii is. Then,
ask her best friend, who win add
10 years to the figure. Then split
the difference and get the right
answer. Simple arithmetic and
applied psychology.
HEAVEN KNOWS why, but
what some women seem to love
most in a man, is his ability to
make them suffer. That's why
the sort of man who is poison
to women Is always quite sure
of his charm. He knows he's as
fascinating as a murder story.
A BROKEN HEART Is not
half so painful as a sprained
vanity or a bruised self-esteem,
these days.

Figure Alignment

f'NNA 80 ACCRf
Figure Alignment
This little trick of lining up
your figure correctly throws the
support of your weight partly
on your bones and takes the
strain off the muscles.
To get the feel of the right
line in the middle of your figure,
try this: Lie down on back on
floor, knees fleXed, soles of feet
flat on floor. Now, pulling up
and in with the lower abdofff-
nal muscles, dig the small of
back into the floor. Hold and
release. That pulls you slim
through the middle, lifts the
chest and rests your back. Re-
peat half a dozen times. and
end with a good big stretch,
arms overhead stretching up.
legs straight down-s-t-r-e-t-c-hl
Good Posture
Then stand against the edge
of a door, facing it, with only
the chest and toes touching the
door.. Pull back a tiny bit with
the muscles at the back of the
neck. Now walk away from the
door in easy posture and go over
to the mirror. Don't try too
hard, or hold your shoulders
rigid-easy does it. You are not
conscious of oholding the tummy
and chest up, but they are up
and hips are under. shoulders
relaxed.
Don't forget that a lovely car
riage can make a good figure
superb and a mediocre figure
quite attractive. You can never
look dumpy or humdrum if your
posture shows il. HAPPY HOLI-

Silhouette v Worries May Be
Caused by Poor Posture
BY IDA JEAN KAN

PERHAPS YOUR silhouette
worries are caused by careless
posture more than anything else.
Ordinarily, verbal reminders TO
straighten up are of little value.
but there is posture trick or
two that will help you to look
your lovelieSt over the holidays.
When you get all dressed up
for some special occasion, and
look yourself over in the mirror,
the impulse will be to minimize
that tummy by yanking it in.
Don't do it, That would make
you look like the Gibson Girl
of the Gay 90'si Remember, she
carried her chest out and for
ward, instead of up. And she
pointed her etoes out instead of
straight ahead. and that's why
she walked like a duck.
Head Erect
- Instead of trying to hold the
tummy in, hold your head up.
Forget about every posture rule
but one, and that is up--up with
the curls on the top of your
head. Hold your head proudly
as if you knew you looked very
elegant.
All the rest of the figure
hinges on the carriage of your
head. With the head held beau
tifully-that is. Squarely on your
shoulders. with the line at the
back of the neck straight. chin
level--the shoulders will fall inte-
lovely line. the abdominal wall
will automatically be retraced
and your back will be straight.
Try it in front of a full-length
mirror, just to get the full effect.
Stand in careless posture as if
you didn't care much how you
looked. Now make believe
fairy tapped you on the top of
your head TO transpose you into
