WOMAN,S REALM <
BEWARE WHEN THEY SAY My, She's a Good Housekeeper"
MAYBE YOU'RE NOTHING ELSE

First, study your family. Are they happy in your perfectly kept house? For it is YOUR house. The house of a perfect housekeeper is always HER house-the rest of the family, and all the neighbors, know that.
 Chances are, in your concern over the way your house looks. you haven't made it especially liv- able for those who share it with you. They may have given up their pet hobbies and interests long ago because you complained so much about the mess they made.
 CLOSER TO HOME
 THAN TO FRIENDS
 And wht about your friends? Have you kept yourself from grow ing closer to them because you were never able to leave your house at a moments notice to do some thing for them or share their fun?
 Take stock of yourself as 8 per- son. You may find you've paid a high price for the reputation ot being a perfect housekeeper. If you think you have, make up your mind to win a reputation for something else. Whoever heard anybody say sI'm so anxious to meet her. Every one says she's a PERFECT house. keener"2

 EstrG Linen Closet
 in Bathroom
 And speaking of extra space consider if you can put small closet in your bathroom to hold the bath linen thus keeping the linen closet for sheets. pillow cases, blanket cov- CTS and blankets. In quite a small space, two dozen towels, a dozen wash rags and six bath towels can be kept. Of course, it's the bathmat and towels which are bulky, so the Studio suggested to our readers a few months ago to keep a good pile of towels on towel racks. This needn't make the family extrava- gant with towels if you set some rules. But for many, closet is wise, so use your ingenuity, and look over mail order catalogues to see if you can find what you need-pre-sup- posing you need more space. If you don't there is no question.

Black is good and she knows it, but
that doesn't mean she must cling
exclusively to black. She dodges
little girl" fashions and coy clothes,
even as she disregards "siren-types"

This is the young lady whose
clothes never scream loudly for
attention but who always gets plenty
of it because she's trim. Her hats
are perky, her clothes fit we'll with
out hugging the figure with an
undying devotion. Her shoes are
lacking in bows and fur pom -poms,
but they're not lacking in style,
and they may be high heeled! She
usually manages one attention-get-
ting detail such as a smart costume
pin or other eye-catching gadget to
pep up" her costume. She buys
good clothes, even if she must buy
fewer, for she has learned that
very bargain n-basement-ish clothes
give her sense of inferiority, and
that it is much better to have two
or three chic costumes in which she
feels confident.
AS a matter of fact, most of her
clothes are worn to Office as we'll as

main part of her life revolves around
her job and that the chances are
she will make her important i'm

buys them with an eye to what
will look as well at 8 am. as at
pm.
Above all, she watches well-dressed
girls around Washington and gets
ideas from them. She searches
the papers, magazines and stores
for ideas, modifying them to suit
her needs. And she goes to the
office feeling that if that important
engagement happens to take place
suddenly this afternoon, she can
step from the Office looking poised,
smart and very much the career

Never Leave Child Alone
Ask Reliable Friend or Relative
To Stay During Your Absence
By A AnqeIo Patri

Little children should never be
left in the house. Never. Mothers
who have to go out on errands cam
not leave little children alone in the
house while they are absent. Most
of all they must not lock children
in a room.
this should never be done. One
emergency Is not likely to be cured
by another. One never knows what
is going to happen in the shortest
of absences. 1t takes but a second
to strike a match, turn on gas
burner, fall down the stairs and the
mischief is done. The most unex-
pected things happen and If no
grown person is present grave results
may follow.
Some people wait until the chill
dren are asleep and then slip out
of the house, leaving them alone.
That's dangerous. Little ones have
a way of wakening in the night
and calling out. If there is no re-
assuring voice to reply panic seizes
them and they become hysterical
with fright. Such happenings leave
their marks on children's minds.
They breed distrust of their parents
And they set fears that work havoc
though they are hidden fears that
even the children scarcely recog-
nize.
Parents must sometimes leave the
house and the children Somebody
must be in charge when that hap
pens. If there is no granny willing
to stand by, no aunt or uncle or
grandpa, maybe there is a kindly
neighbor who can be trusted. Or
there may be nursery that cares
for such children for a reasonable
price. Or high school student
who can be trusted. There is usually
a way.
The selection OF the guardian is
important. One must be certain

Fleshy Upper
Arms Need
Reducing
Follow Routine of
Daily Exercises
For Muscles
Bv Patricia Lindsay

As one natures and is less active,
fat tends to accumulate on the upper
arms. This area of the body is
most susceptible to fat. This fat
is called hard fat" and is not easy
to Danish unless one combines pro-
fessional massage and muscle firm
ing exercise.
Correct massage Of fleshy upper
arms does not mean pounding away
at the fat bulges, it means reach
ing deeply to the root of the cause
and breaking down the fat-maker
This requires toning, Tightening and
strengthening of the muscles-juSt
as one would do by playing tennis
steadily. The task calls for an eX-
pert masseuse who understands the
formation of arm muscles.
Along with massage treatments a
woman should practice daily arm
exercises such as rowing, or the old
fashioned stretching ones-placing
hands on shoulders and then fling
ing them out to the sides, back and
up and back. You know, one. two,
three, four.
Here are a few more to add to
your reducing routine.
Hold arms out at sides shoulder
level. Make fists out of hands. Then
holding arms high, shake fists back
and forth rapidly so fleshy part
OF upper arms shake like jelly!
Shake hard, relax, shake again.
2-Hold arms out as in exercise
|. Swing fists in wide circles as
high as possible. First clockwise
and then counter -clockwise. Relax,
repeat.
3Stretch and grasp hold of the
top of an open, sturdy door in your
home. It should be high enough to
permit you to hang without feet
touching the floor. Hang as long
as you can then drop down and relax.
Hang whenever you think about 1t.
This exercise is not only good for
giving the maximum of stretching
to your arms but it also limbers and
strengthens your spine.
EFor very fleshy arms on over
weights this exercise is suggested
Sit on the floor, place right hand
fiat on the floor palm downward,
about 8 or 10 inches from body
Without moving the hand a trif1e,
make your elbow describe small fast
circles-a rapid shaking of the up
per arm. When you begin to feel a
strain in your upper arm, stop and
relax. Do the same with left arm.
Alternate for at least 10 minutes.

Frankly, we don't see that any one
girl can do much about solving this
problem. What's needed is a general
change in attitude toward exclusive
dating in that school or that COM
munity. And such changes aren't
accomplished overnight.
OF course, if you are very likable
and extremely popular, you can
pretty much make your own rules.
You can let Johnny know that you
like him and that you enjoy his
company, while still maintaining
your right to go out with any other
nice boy who extends you an invi-
tation. You can point out that you
have no intention of settling down
to any one boy until you've learned
more about all boys, that you aren't
ready for any serious romancing
and that what you want is lot of
boys with whom you are on a
friends" basis, and not just one
with whom you are all tied up in a
going steady relationship.
But if you are just an ordinary
girl and not a popularity princess
any attempt at sticking to such a
program in the face of whole COM
munity's opposition is likely to bring
you little but headaches and heart
aches.
In this emergency, what you need
is the support of other girls. It's
one of those situations where indi-
vidual effort is useless, but where
group action can prove extremely
effective It's United we stand,
divided we fall" setup, if there ever
was one.
Undoubtedly there are number
of other girls in your group who
feel the same way you do about
going steady. Talk the matter over
with them, and see if you can't Sc
cure their backing. Resolve that
the members of this group, and any
other girls whom you may later
enlist, will henceforth insist on
their rights to accept dates with
any nice boy, without being penal
lied by some possessive chap who
has already taken them out a couple
of times.
Don't be militant about it. Don't
lay down any ultimatums to the
male half of your crowd. Just let
them know, in reasonable discus
sion when the opportunity offers,
how you feel about things. Many
of the more sensible boys will agree
with you. You'll also undoubtedly
find eager allies among your moth
ers and fathers, who are seldom
pleased by having their daughters
develop serious crushes while they
are still in high school.
BY such united action, you can
eventually change the general atti-
tude of your crowd toward going
steady. Of course, you won't be
able to prevent some fellows and
girls from backsliding. And why
should you? If boy and girl really
get it bad, and have no desire to
60 with any one else, you can have
no logical objection to that. It's
their concern, not yours. What you
are trying to prevent is a setup
which practically forces girl to 60
steady, whether she wants to or not.
It won't be easy, but we think it's
worth the effort. And always re-
member, if the going gets tough.
that boys are just as eager for your
company (or almosD as you are for
theirs. You can lay down the rules,
and insist on their observance, just
as well as they can.
But you girls will have to stick
together to do it,
