Practice

You can get a much better
idea Of the way YOU sound to
others by standing in a corner
with the face close 10 the walls,
and talking to yourself in a CON
verSational tone. The two walls
throw your voice back al you
and you have a fairly accurate
gauge of the tonal quality.
The best way TO appraiSe your
voice is TO have a record made.
Only don't put your best tone
forward Just let yourself 60
and criticiSe your husband or
SC0td your children, and throw
in a sharp remark or two for
good measure. Then play the
record back and see how you
like listening to yourself

ture, modestly stretching the truth in
Rogers favor, so that Roger instead
of himself appeared responsible for
their many escapes.
But Miller couldn't resist bringing
up, to tease Roger, their conversation
of this morning. did Roger tell you
about his mystery? About the inter
national spy plot he unearthed?"
Roger tried to signal his friend to lay
off, but it was too late Show Miss
Cooke your little souvenir, Roger"
Souvenir? Spy plot?"
Roger scowled. Its nothing. A
little joke of Paul's."
But they both insisted. Roger had
no choice but to produce, with a
sheepish smile, the microfilm from his
wallet.
Cynthia took the film from him,
held it against the sunlighted win
dow. She stretched it at arms length,
squirting to sharpen her focus. When
she turned about, a cold glaze had
slipped over her eyes, her lips were
drawn back as from an unpleasant
taste.
What happened next took place so
quickly it was all over almost before
Roger could take it in. The door be-
hind Cynthia opened and shut, and
before she could turn two men were
standing behind her. Two men Roger
recognized: the Englishman from the

else the hip and thigh muscles.
But exercises need not be confined
to work done on your feet. While you
sit preparing vegetables, sewing or
mending, for example, you have an
opportunity to exercise neck and
ankle muscles. Move your head back
and forth from one shoulder tip to the
other - this will help to build love
lier throat and to safeguard firm,
young chin. To keep your ankles free
jointed and supple and even make
them trimmer, utilize this same oppor-
tunity by crossing your legs, first one
way and then the other, and rotating
the foot around the swinging ankle.
In rotating each foot, make circular
motions first to right and then to left.

FAUL MILLER and Cynthia got on
well together. Roger was glad to notice
Miller going out of his way to make
himself pleasant, and she, rather stiff
at the beginning, gradually thawed.
Miller was right: how ridiculous to
have attributed such sinister motives
to such charming young lady.
Recognizing again certain individ-
ual mannersms which he wasn't aware
he had remembered from yesterday
gave Roger an oddly comfortable
feeling, like sighting an old friend in
a crowd of strangers. The way her
nose had of crinkling when she smiled;
the suddenness with which she turned
her head when she shifted attention,
so that her bobbed hair swung out;
the quick British rush of her sentences.
Roger found himself waiting for these,
feeling each time they happened a
prick of private pleasure. Miller re-

So stretch as you reach to put dishes
in cupboard; as you put the laundry
away; as you dust pictures; as you

you lay tablecloth. or take one off;
as you make up a bed.
Stretch as you push broom,
mop, sweeper, or vacuum; and

Sit up and take notice of falls
possibilities for table decoration.
Cornucopias and centerpieces of
fruits and vegetables interlaced
with FURNISHED leaves and bright
ly colored flowers certainly have
a way with them and will do
very nicely for your luncheon Ia
BILE.
Take a tip from the outdoors
and make the most of the hum
BILE squash, apple, pear, or
spray of bittersweet. Let your
fruit glisten and shine by rubbing
with oil and then polishing to a
high luster. For more permanent
effects, have the fruit laquered.
Arrange pears, apples and grapes
on doilies of autumn leaves and
set on a mirror for the center
piece, or have the fruit arranged
from the opening of a squash.
Dusky red or bright chrysanthe-
NUNS look effective if arranged
in a small squash. Any of these
win give your table smart note
and also piece of grand con-
versation for luncheon guests.
Speaking of nice touches, put
a leaf of deep rich red, brown, or
yellow, or bit of bittersweet to

will be just fine to carry out the
