AND II you are visiting a nearby
city for a few days. you could say
to friend, TITS nice Of you to ask
us out to spend the evening. but
we get to the city 50 seldom, we
count on spending every evening
going 10 plays" instead Of having
to say you are leaving town before
you really are.
II we do 60 in for honesty. YOU
could say to the woman who wants
you to go with her to look at
antiques. Il don't know anything
about antiques. and I hate to shop. .
instead Of saying you have a head
ache.
And when you have dinner with
new acquaintance and decide they
are terrible bores, you could drop
the acquaintance right there in
stead of calling them up to say
how much you enjoyed the evening
and can't they have dinner with
you.
II would really be so easy for
US to start telling the truth. And
feelings needn't be hurt-any more
than they are hurt by the truth in
business.
The lies often hurt feelings. any,
how. Once you find out that the
friend who said, "A few people
dropped in unexpectedly" really
gave a bang up party. you are
more hurt that she lied to you than
that she didn't invite you to the
party.

Large Hips
Dear Miss Grey; Is II terribly
difficult to reduce in spots I hesi-
tate to undertake a strenuous diet
for If do my face (which always
shows it first) is bound to look
haggard and old.
However, I am one Of those
women cursed with tremendous
hips and l would do anything to
streamline them-but not at the
expense Of my face and the upper
part of my body. Ny bust Is aver
age and I don't want to be any
smaller there for I don't fancy be-
ing a flat-chested beauty.

Yes. according TO those in the
know" reducing in spots is COM
paratively easy.
Try rolling exercises There is
no form of exercise more effective
for doing away with excess pound
age than rolling.
Lie flat on the floor with hands
grasping the end of a rope which
Ii tied to a hook on the wall or
ceiling. Holding the rope will help
you keep head and shoulders
slightly off the floor.
Lift feet upward about eight
inches, keeping ankles together.
All of your weight will now be
directly on hips. Roll to the left
as far as possible, then back and
to the right as far as possible. Feel
the pressure on the rolls of excess
weight on your hips. Do not make
the rope do any OF the work for
you. Simply use IL to help main
tain balance. Repeat the exercise
twenty times a day for two weeks.

Road Plans

Continued From Faye One)

Continued From Faye One)
ditures absolutely necessary tc put
the flood-hurt roads back in paSSable
condition but these fears are grow
ing less acute in view of continued
revenue increases and evidence that
the Governor and Highway Commits
sion officials are determined to car
ry on with all phases of the road
program.
The Mount Mitchell plan grows
from surveys which have already
been made by the Highway Com
mission, and there is every reason to
believe that location Of the new road
has been definitely decided upon.
Details have not been made pub
lie, but it has been learned that plans
call for routing the new road en-
tirely over land of the Federal Blue
Ridge Parkway and the State-oWn-
ed Mount Mitchell Park, with the
exception of a strip only few hun
dred yards in length.
This land is owned by the Wilson
interests, which used to operate the
old toll road to the Mitchell peak;
but it is not expected that much diff
ficulty will be found in obtaining a
right of way over it at comparative
ly small expense.
