CHATTER TWENTY EIGHT

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT
II took Julie a little while to
adjust herself to her new status,
that of Kennedy Worthington
Spates affianced bride. Her ac-
ceptance of his hand had beea
deliberate. the result of persistent
mental argument The tragic cpl
sode just witnessed in her own
family, Ends anguish, Mikes de-
lection, had effectively tipped the
scales at just the right moment.
Love had proved itself a slender
thread upon which to hang a fu-
ture. The slender thread was prone
to break, leaving despair a. its
aftermath. Julie stubbornly chung
to the belief that she had been
right TO Danish love.
But there was Johnny. very
straightforward behind the wheel.
To jules sensitive perceptions his
attitude registered disdain. Well,
what Johnny thought was no con-
Germ of hers. The die had been
cast. She allowed Kennedy to hold
her hand. She returned his
pleased, confident smile.
Nearing Eightieth street on the
northward drive, she felt impelled
to stop at the Sheridan apart
ment Any excuse would do, Pru-
dence and an unconscious loyalty
restrained her from making the
excuse.
Some intuitive sense, the
feminine sixth sense perhaps,
assured her that Mike had not
jumped the track Of deceney
and moral conduct.
She could not have explained
her belief. It might have been =
throw-back to the days when she
trusted him above anyone In the
world, when his word had been q
kindly and indulgent law.
Despite the recent dire
events, despite the lack Of evil
dence upon which 10 base her
convictions. she felt safe
about Mike and Enid.
Johnny, sloof and naughty. car
ried her bags into the spate hall.
He departed and the closing Of the
door, a sharp sound Of finality. did
something to jules heart. For an
instant she was panicky with the
fantastic notion that she had
thrown him To the wolves. She
took a quick step toward the door
hating when Kennedy said. Did
you forget something dear ,"
She speedily pulled herself to-
gether. vresthing her bps in
smiles as Mrs.. spate appeared at
the arch. Julie went 70 her. hands
outstretehed, a sudden mist Of
tears in her eyes.
Mother Kennedy burst
out, almost boyishly, '-she said
zee. We are going 10 be mar
RED, Julie and L.
Julie trembled. A. Mrs spsts
put both srms about her, shs
buried terrified eyes on the Old
Isdy'a shoulder. Mrs. spste obyi-
ousiy thought this snow Of emotion
quite the correct procedure. The
great mole disappeared IN a de-
+ lighted smile.

Dear Miss Grey: am = con-
slant reader Of your column and I
wonder if you can help me solve
my problem.
I would like 10 know II you have
an exercise for reducing calves Of
the legs and one for the hips. NY
body is pretty well-proportioned.
otherwise. f. h. r.
Dear =. X. r: Going barefoot.
on your toes, for about ten min
utes every day viii tone mp your,
leg muscles which. by the way, IL
q very important step towards
attaining well-shaped legs. III
your legs are TO be shapely, your.
leg muscles must be In good con-
dition. Whether your legs are
pudgy or underdeveloped. they
can be improved by toning mp
your leg muscles.
And here's one way 10 do IL:
Slip off your shoes. turn up yonr
radio and skip around the room.
After you have done this for
while, rise on the toes of one
foot as You press the heel of the
other foot down. This exercise
Il good for reducing both the
calves and the ankles and also
serves to strengthen the ankles.
Also. try skipping rope on the
foes-twice on one foot, then
twice on the other etc.
Another good exercise Il the
deep knee bend. Keeping feet
parallel and the heels flat on the
floor, bend the knees as far Is
possible.
When walking mp and down
stairs, walk on the toes rather
than the entire foot. To give the
calf muscles good stretch,
stand on the edge of a step and
push the heel down below the
step level.
And now for the hips, From
= standing position, swing first
one leg and then the other, up
In front and away up In back.
Do this ten times at first, then
increase 1t 10 rs and later 10 100
times with each leg.
A good rolling exercise Is also
very beneficial. Lying on your
hack, roll from one side across
hips and back 10 other side. This
will smooth away the bulges.
