We aren't making this up!
However, before you jump to the
conclusion that our young friend is
a hopeless case, let us tell you lit
tie more about him. The summer
before last he got job selling hot
dogs and programs at a ball park.
He figured out half-dozen novel
ways of increasing sales, and this
last summer he was placed in charge
of all the boys in the park. Thus
he got a commission on all their
sales. and still sold more than any
of his helpers himself.
With some of his earnings from
this job, he bought secondhand
car, vintage 1885. When we saw him
two weeks ago, he was planning to
start out on a cross country trip in
the jalopy, working whenever he
could get a job, seeing all the sights
along the way, and generally going
where or doing what seemed an in
teresting idea at the moment.
But, obviously, the car had to have
some work done on it before he left.
since it already had close to 1000
miles on its speedometer So our
friend had taken down the motor,
and Wnen we saw him, he was
painstakingly scraping the carbon
off each valve. putting in new piston
rings, and completely overhauling
the motor
But one of the most interesting
things about this boy is his family
and their attitude toward him. His
father is a newspaper executive to
whom a misspelled word is nothing
less than poison. His mother is a
newspaperwoman who has written
scores of articles and stories for
national magazines. His older sister
only two years out of art school,
has charge of the whole art de-
partment of the company for which
she works.
A few years ago they thought
this boy would also study journalism
He had worked on papers in grade
and high school, and had shown
other signs of interest in publish
ing. He started to college with a
newspaper career in mind, but the
results of his contacts with the
faculty pretty effectively killed that
idea.
Under the circumstances, you

We also can become fit physically
as We mold our figures to better
proportions. If you are troubled
with a hipline which is too large,
exercise will snip off the inches and
build stamina and vitality for the
days ahead.
A large hipline spoils many an
otherwise lovely figure. Hip reduc-
ton is a matter for special exercise
and is easily accomplished l said
easily because hips are perhaps
easier TO reduce than any other part
of the body.
Do this exercise and watch the
hipline shrink: Sit on the floor
with legs out in front, hands on
floor, at sides. Now bend knees up
close TO the tummy, lifting heels
from the floor. Lean backward
slightly, just far enough so that
the weight of the body falls directly
over the largest part of the hips
Now roll from side to side. catching
yourself with your hand. with
right hand as you roll to right
with left hand as you roll to lefto
If YOU do this on the bare floor, it
may be too uncomfortable. 1t is
still effective when done on a mat
or lightweight rug.

BY Josephine LO1Cman
Femininity always is attractive
for woman. Whenever she de-
serts it for masculine gestures,
postures and language, she loses
some of her charm.
When I say feminine, I do not
refer to the clinging, fainting variety
of yesterday, sor to the too-sensitive
you are so strong and l am so
weak" type which will be with us
as long as there are women.
Femininity as I mean it reflects
an inner charm. poise. subtlety and
grace. 1t is much more an attribute
of the woman than it is of her
clothes.
Truly charming girls look as femi-
nine in their Stacks as they do IN
their flowing evening gowns. For
instance, Paulette Goddard'S en-
trancing personality shines forth
whether she is wearing the rags of
her role in The Dictator" pair
of tennis shorts or Hattie Carnegie
glamour creation.
However, in these days of rugged
duty and severe tasks and obllga-
tons it might be well TO swing to-
ward more and more femlninity
for relief. Edith Head, who is chief
stylist for Paramount Pictures, says,
With Americas young men march
ing off to Army camps, women
should accentuate femlnlnlty as a
balancing influence amid the grow
ing severeness of the martial at
moSphere. I think Miss Head has
something there!
l think we women could do with
more of the masculine viewpoint
today. Women worry more than
men. We could take things as they
come, one at a time.
We could organize our days with
more efficiency so we will have time
for our hours at the Red Cross and
Bundles for Britain, and any other
demands our country may make
upon us.
We could try to stay less emo
tional and more casual, keeping our
minds free from panic and senti-
ment for cool, logical reasoning,
Women are VIGOROUSLY the more
emotional sex.
We could broaden our viewpoint
of world affairs as we should have
done years ago.
Along with this stiffened mental
attitude we can use more perfume,
wear flowers in our hair and
dramatize our clothes. This Will
make a pleasant and helpful COM
bination in this wartime which calls
| on the nerves to such a tremendous
extent.

Manners
of the
Moment

The way some girls can twist
their legs around each other and
around the rungs of chairs is really
something astounding. In a way
have a great admiration for the
acrobatics of it. For that reason
I hate to discourage a twister from
twisting. 1t is not only trick, but
it is also probably good for the spine.
But there are times when a girl
should try to unwind and sit more
or less straight. Somehow, in COM
pany, it looks odd for a girl to curl
herself up into knots. Some OF the
other people around are very likely
to stare at her and wonder whether
she received her acrobatic training
in the circus or at college.
OF course, once caught at it, a
girl can smile up at her audience
and say, II bet you can't do that"
That will put everything on a par
lor trick basis.
But If the crowd is even semi
formal, 1t is probably better for q
girl not to Be aerobatic. JEAN.

might have expected his family to
be bitterly disappointed. You might
have thought they would reproach
him, and try to shame him into
doing better in his classes.
But they weren't-and they didn't.
They had enough sense to realize
that this boy was an individual,
that his talents weren't necessarily
their talents, and that it would be
useless and harmful to try to force
him to follow in their footsteps.
So they are letting him work out
his own salvation, with no fears for
his future. They know him, they've
seen how he can take hold of job
and make it roll. They feel sure
that, having the right stuff in him,
he'll find his own work eventually,
and make a success of it.
We hope your parents read this
column. And We hope you. your
self, won't be too discouraged if
you don't seem to fit into the pro-
gram which a well-meaning family
has laid out for you.

Kiwanis Ladies View
Skillful Showing

1t was skillfully- planned and
fashion wise show that the ladies
of the Capital District of Kiwanis
Clubs saw on Friday. While they
enjoyed their luncheon at the Shore
ham, a local store presented dresses
and coats rejecting the latest In
fiuences, and accented them in an
exceptionally smart manner with
hats, bags and shoes.
Primarily, the bouquet went to
furs. In addition to all the
old favorites there were some new
treatments and ideas that were
especially outstanding. A parade of
mink included several coats with
turned-back cuffs and deftly-manip-
ulated collars. Ermines ranged from
short, simple jackets to new-look-
ing coat with cape effect. Also in
Guided were two 'one of a kinds"
in this case natural Norwegian
blue fox coat and a "rhumba coat"
of silver fox with the skins worked
horizontally in the skirt and verti-
cally in the bodice. Twas a mere
$500.
Dresses in black and color made
use of the new slender silhouette and
there were q number which utilized
the current vogue for sequin trim.

she had either to be yes-yeS woman
or a first aid to divorce in her chill
drens homes. She who had been
busy. festered in idleness. She who
had been somebody in her own COM
munity was just Johns or Mary S
mother, with no companions of her
own age. And. in any case, she knew
herself an enforced guest and that
her children would be happier with
out her.
And so with nothing to do, with
no interests, no independence. often
with no money of her own, 1t is no
wonder that mother grew morbid
and developed martyr complex and
became hard to live with. Unhappi-
ness does not tend to sweeten the
temper.
But there it was-grandma sort
of old woman of the sea on the FAM
ilys back. held there by family duty
and family pride, but hating 1t worse
than the family did, and nobody
knowing what to do about it until
finally an inspired woman arose and
said the magic words that freed
grandma from her curse.
And these words were in effect:
Lets form a grandmothers club.
Let's quit thinking that life is over
for us and that the door Of oppor-
tunity is closed to us. Let's get busy
and keep going"
And that idea was the nucleus OF
the Grandmothers' Club that is
spreading like wildflre all over the
country and that is galvanizing old
bones into action. giving old skills
a chance to function and making
life worth living again for innumer-
able women.
The Grandmothers' Clubs have
dragged women down of of the
shelves in their children's home
and busted them of and put them
in circulation again. They have got
grandma a job at whatever she knew
how to do They have made her age
and her experience and her knowl-
edge count.
They have established exchanges
where she can sell her handiwork If
she is too old and rheumatic to get
about much. They have awakened
her lost faith in herself and she is
busy and happy and no longer walt
ing for death. She is living.
But to my mind the most i'm
portant work the Grandmother
Clubs are doing is in making womer
realize that life isn't over for them
at so or so or even at 70. and that
there is no reason for them to be-
come parasites simply because they
have had certain number of birth
/ day anniversaries.

/ too early. They would be happier
and healthier if they rolled up their

Vaccination
For Tots
Smallpox Now
Held in Check
By Process
Br Leffice Lee Street,

by LPfffCP Lee SrPPn
Years ago it was rarity to see
young men and women who were not
SCARED with the marks of smallpox.
In those days this horrible disease
was so general that the great ma
jority Of people were attacked by 1t.
Those who were not diSfigured by it
were numbered either among a few
fortunate people who did not catch
it because they were naturally i'm
niue or for some strange reason were
not stricken by the disease in sum-
cient strength to make them really
sick
The number of fatalities was high.
and during certain periods of in
creased virulence of the disease the
mortality was alarming. and those
who did recover suffered horribly.
In England, at about the time of
| the American Revolution, a doctor
named Jenner noticed that smallpox
practically never attacked COW
herders, particularly dairymaids and
dairymen. Perhaps this is where the
old expression. Her cheek was as
smooth as a dairymaid's" came from.
He noticed scars on the hands of
these individuals, which they all
agreed came from the cows udderS.
He then reasoned that this disease
which they picked up from the cows.
gave them immunity from the
human form of smallpox He OBJ
tanned permission to innoculate a
large number of people, who had not
/ contracted smallpox. with these scabs
/ obtained from the COWS.
He must have been a man of great
character. bravery and determina-
/ ton, because he was ridiculed and
abused by many of the so-called
intelligent people of the time. How
ever, he was able to organize an
experiment on large enough scale
to convince himself and others that
If children and adults previously
uninfected with smallpox were in
noculated with the disease we now
call cowpox that they would not
contract the dreaded human form of
the infection.
/ Since then a great deal Of expert
mental work has gone forward 1t
is now possible to vaccinate all of the
human race against this dreadful
malady
1t is important that all individuals
be vaccinated for the benefit of man
kind Those who are not are in a
position to contract, keep alive and
spread the disease. People who do
not permit their children to be vac
cinated are either deliberately or by
ignorance endangering their own
children and others.
As truly as one can say OF any
biological treatment, vaccination
against smallpox is a safe procedure,
and since its use the disease has been
among ignorant or stubborn peoples.
Some baby doctors want the in
fants in their care to be vaccinated
between the third and sixth months;
at any rate, you should ask your
doctor about this if your baby or any
of your family or children have not
been vaccinated. 1t should be done
with all haste If there is an outbreak
of the disease in your vicinity. Vac
cination does not make the baby
very uncomfortable, and does make
him safe against smallpox.

On Wedding
Marches
Good Substitute
For Lohengrin
Suggested
By Emily Post

Some time ago published a letter
from prospective bride who wanted
music other than the "Lohengrin"
or 'Mendelssohn" wedding marches.
Today received a very interest
ing and helpful reply from Mrs.
NewlyWed. who answers my column
of that day:
Il thought you would surely be
deluged with suggested wedding
marches" she writes, but since the
only reply you have printed was that
Of the correspondent who suggest
ed Sousa's wedding march or song,
may I tell you that for my own
marriage ceremony I preferred
Grieg's Wedding Day at Trolhau-
gen to anything else, But our or
ganist could not learn it in time,
so We compromised on Percy Grain
gers Country Garden, which is ded-
icated to Grieg. 1t was played more
slowly than Mr.. Granger PLAYS it
for concert use. The motif for the
bride, incidentally, gives the same
melody as the here comes the bride
that Is, the first three notes of
that theme are the same. I would
also like to suggest famous 'SWed-
ish Wedding March'-sorry I can't
think Of the composers name-but
there are some fine photograph
( records of it. At any rate. no bride
has to walk to the Lohengrin or
Mendelssohn wedding march if she
/ doesn't wish TO DO So any more
than she has TO have lilies of the
valley in her bridal bouquet"
/ Dear Mrs. Post: I am a recent
divorce and a prospective bride
I had not intended to print any
thing in the papers about my mar
riage ahead of time. because I
thought many people might think
such a notice so soon after my di-
vorce In bad taste. Imagine my
surprise when I read all about my
coming wedding this morningl VIII
you write something IN defense OF
people who know better but are
victims of the publics interest in
them?
Answer-If your parents were
making the formal announcement,
as they probably did before your
first marriage. then this would be in
questionable taste. But if the society
editor-even possibly a news editor
considers your engagement of suf-
ficient interest to the papers readers
10 write about it at length then the
very people who would be likely 10
criticize you for bad taste would be
the first to realize that it is a
write-up with which YOU had moth
/ ing TO do. In other words, an item
about a prominent person is news
| and is recognized as such. I wouldn't
worry about this if l were YOU, be-
cause I think the situation is per-
fectly understood by all Of Us who
are-the reading public!
