rCKl TCKl SUCH ACRoBATTCsl

TCKl TCKl SUCH ACROBATICs!
 webster and other authorities to the contrary notwithstanding II blush at the thought that I'm SO often that way in respect to the authorities-a somersault is crouch ing as low as possible and rolling the body, forward or backward, without ever losing contact with ground or floor, and, if you can, coming up on your feet with Q smile at the finish.
 What Webster defines as a somer- sault--a leap or jump in which person turns heels over heed, for-, ward or backward, without touching the ground with any portion of the body-is really an acrobatic feat, what I call an air spring. I don't care what anybody calls what call a somersault, it's @ somersault and that is all therde isto 1t. If it is not perfectly clear to you now, send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for Invitation to the Somersaultauqua" This gives Q description of the physiological ef- fects of solnersaulting and movie of Q man getting some of the sag- nant blood from the splanchnic pool back into circulation.
 This movie is not an actual photo graphic reproduction, but 8 series of drawings by an artist, and while 1t gives e fair conception of the tech- nique of somersaulting 1t shows some faults (perhaps in the artists observation) which the novice should avoid: CD If ground or floor seems too hard, use pad or cushion at least six feet long, instead of 6 pile low under the head. @ Curl Up as tight as you can, with chin on chest, thighs on belly, heels almost touching blttocks, before you take of. (3) Naturally, you should come up on your hels, not on your toes-- and then so into your chuckle. For 1t is true, you know, that no matter how discouraged, depressed, exass perated on peevish you may be feel- ing over the state of the world or your own misfortunes, a few soHner- saults on the floor before your desk or behind the counter, on the lawn in the yard, on the rug in you; room. or wherever you can find two square yards or clear space, will seldom fail to restore your spirits, cheer you up and improve your morale. Don't take my word for t. Try 1t and see.
 One reader inquired: Do you ad- vocate rolling somersaults as Q daily health habit? If so, how is one past fifty to attempt such acro- batics?"
 That inquiry depressed and ex- asperated me so much that I had to get right up and roll c dozen beside my desk in order to recapture the equanimity with which one should deal with these queries. After all, some folks are pretty old ct fifty. They never have been young in mind since they got into long pants or began breathing in short pants.

YOUNG DIRNDL FOR TRIM FIGURES
PATTERN S6S

Strangely enough, in Q year of slim styles, the dirndl mode has made tremendous headwayI The younger set adores it--and Claire Tilden designs 1t for those young in figure as well as years, in Pattern 363. The simple four-piece skirt is gathered iEto the waist just enough to fiatter a trim figure. One reason dirndl skirt is so popular Is that 1t presents no fitting problems. The square, yoked neckline and the set- in belt of the same width are also peasant details, and there's a matching wrist-band to hold in the rather full, long sleeve. Short, puff sleeves are favored too-eSpecially when the frock is made with the skirt, the yoke and the belt of bright contrast fabric. |. for this version a gold, chintzy print with plain bodice would be suitable and very gay.

BEAUTY.

{ Thirty is the age at which make up does most for you-and does It gracefully. That's especially so this year, when fashion everywhere em- phasizes taste and the suitability of things to wear, to such an extent that Style is Fashion.
 Usually, there's a different. Fash ion changes constantly and em- phasizes change. Style Is the basic, lasting rightness and enhance ment-value of things. But now Fashions basic theme is: these new times are busy times, therefore let fashion put purpose first for a change.
 This is noticeable in makeup now. Manufacturers offer a whole new set of colors to go with new hues in clothes
 There's nut brown to go with the much browns and warm reds in clothes, and there's also q chestnut-toned nail polish for the same clothes and also for green. For purple clothes, cos- inetics again stress the purple un- dertone. And for black and blue dresses, there arc now clear reds. APPLY MAKEUP
 WITH CARE
 All these have & special use- fulness for the woman of thirty for at that age woman is ready to apply cosmetics with a gener- ois hand, and very often she needs them to keep looking as yivacious as she feels.
 But keep that makeup hand steady, as well as generous, with cosmeticsl Your powder base should be smooth, your cream rouge blend- ed so that there's no visible edge If you're self-conscious about your chin or jaw or any feature, you can minimize 1t with powder of a darker hue.

Probably 1t does seem hazardous, to one who has cultivated false dignity for most of his lifetime, to attempt to roll Q @ bull on his shoulder for exerci-e somersault.

 "Gag JeweIry' Uses Gold And Real Gems
A "Mod Money" Purse Thot Holds Only Two Bits Is A Luxury Item
By DEE LOWRANCE sA Service Staff Correspondent

NEA Service Staff Correspondent
 Hollywood-Gag notions in luxury jewelry have just hit Hollywood. And the stars are falling for them hard.
 The idea originated with Margery Cummings, wife of a producer. She didn't see why extravagant jewelry should be on the classic, stodgy side. So he took steps.
 First, she designed some giddy nonsense with real gems for her. self. Then her friends demanded she design for them. The next thing she knew she was in the business.
 You should be able to have fun with genuine stones and pre- cious metals she told me. "Gai- ety has always been confined to costume jewelry. I wanted to use real jewels, make pieces that would cost less than the really extravagant things and still be gay"
 T thought of iron in jewelry first" she explained. "ItS an old Chinese idea. And you know com lLlOlAp O4huAtbAy HUH SSoeo AAOAC " make into jewelry than gold or platinum"
 NOVEL USE OF
 AN OLD METAL
 She began by making ring for herself. in a massive dome in a soft, gunmetal gray, studded with minute diamonds. Then she made some mems cuff-links in iron, shap- ed like miniature horseshoes. with gold railstuds on them. Jock Whit ney bought her first pair.
 When Ann Sothern came along with the problem, what to do with the gold charms she had collect ed, but no longer wanted to wear on a charm bracelet, iron was used again. This time in a two-irch wide solid bracelet with the gold charms set in like a mosaic.
 For Joan Bennett and Margaret Sullavan both, Mrs. Cummings made lovely heart-shaped locket rings. Tn the center is 8 large diamond soli- taire, surrounded by pave rubies, set into gold. They open for a pie ture, like any locket.
 T call 1t my engaged-seven- days a-week ring" she said of a birthday ring she made for Joan Bennett. T got the idea from an old Russian custom. If a man wanted a girl, he gave her seven rings-one for each

1t is probable that the low
blood pressure in these people
is due TO lack of efficiency in
the veins rather than in the
arteries. In the erect position,
the blood accumulates there and
the heart has no blood to work

pressure drops.

A TYPICAL EXAMPLE
The typical example of the

are the people with certain
kinds of low blood pressure.
