Can any little girl have too many

Leading from the center panel

sashes which fit this frock firmly at
the waistline, adjust the skirt full

across the diaphragm smooth! The
panel is cleverly detailed by button
trim at the top and the scalloped

frock, you see, which can be whisked
on over the head-so that it simpl-
fies dressing.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lo,vman

Thighs and signs not only rhyme
but often appear at the same period
in a woman's life. BY the time
a woman has reached 80, and some
times long before, the thighs have
often begun to bulge, thus throwing
the shadow of things to come on
the wall of her vanity.
This Is unnecessary. You can
sidestep what used to be the fate
of all women-that middle-aged
spread.
If YOU are a lot overweight diet
will help, but the result of long
continued diet without exercise
usually is a wan look in the face
and thighs that remain very much
the same.
The following exercise will reduce
the thighs if done regularly each
day: Stand with your left side
toward the wall, arms raised side
wise, shoulder height, fingers OF left
hand touching wall to steady you.
Raise the right leg sidewise upward
as far as possible. Now swing the
right leg down toward the floor and
across the body to the left as far
as you can without turning the hips.
Continue with smooth swing
straight sidewise-upward and then
down across. When tired turn the
right side toward the wall and
swing the left leg.
Form the habit of contracting the
muscles of the hips when standing
and holding the contraction for a
few seconds. Then relax and con-
tract again. This helps to remedy
the slump of the muscles.

said that The abundant crop of
strikes which our Government is
harvesting this season has been
sowed and cultivated for ali the
years this administration has been
in power. They are not the weeds
and briars in the field of labor
relations. They are the crop that
