Fancy Dress
First there are the fancy
dress costumes dolls dressed
in silks and satins, as though
they were going TO a party.
Needless to say. little girls like
these dolls.
But il is not necessary to
dress your doll extensively.
They also like dolls dressed in
perky little prints and ging-
hams. Nothing delights the
heart of a little girl like
a coat and hat for her doll.
Baby dolls, we are told. are
popular and many of these
come TO us with complete
wardrobes with extra bonnets.

blue blankets :. TO wrap the

No Pat Rules
Concerning
Figures
BY IDA JEAN kahn

IF YOU have decidedly
slight or stocky frame. you
couldn't possibly get down or
up to the specifications that are
supposedly standard for your
height. But don't let that worry
you.
Any attempt TO standardize
measurements solely on the
basis of height is the height of
of the ridiculous. The width Of
your bones is just as tangible
a factor as their length.
And not only that, but your
frame makes a difference in
what you should weigh for your
height. and there's something
else to be reckoned with.
Rules Misleading
So you can't 60 by the nice
pat rules TO the effect that the
girl five feet tall should have a
l25-iHch waiStline with an extra
half inch of waistline for each
extra inch of height, or that
she should measure 30 inches
around the bust with an allow
ance of another inch for each
inch of height
Both rules are so simple that
IL seems too bad not to be able
TO follow them. But the 25-inch
waistline standard wouldn't
work out for the slightly built
girl - and the 30-inch bust
standard wouldn't work out for
anyone else.
Proper Proportion
What you want is symmetry.
That means nicely proper
toned difference between your
measurements, with structure
and weight given their due. You
have lovely figure If
Your weight is within 10 per
cent of normal for your struc-
ture.
Your waist is from eight TO
10 inches smaller than your
bust.
Your hips and bust tally. or
the hfpline is not more than
three inches larger.
But you can't have any such
proportions unless you take a
certain amount of regular ex-
ercise. A few minutes exercise
daily will make a much greater
Improvement in your figure
than an hour of exercise now
and then.
Get Into Shape
When you take up exercise
after a lapse of several years,
you will have a bit of recondi-
tioning to do before you can
expect visible results.
II takes about week for you
TO get into shape to exercise.
The soreness in your muscles
doesn't usually leave you for
another three. After that you
will begin TO see changes.
Even before your measure
ments register loss, your
figure will have smoother lines.
Once you are in good condi-
ton. it should be easy for you
to slim an inch a month off the
waist. half that much off the
hips. and gradually improve the
bust contour. At that rate. the
results themselves will spur you
on toward perfect proportions.

Character Dolls

A great many dress their dolls
in character last year we
had Red Riding Hood, Cinderella,
a hula lady from Waikiki
and dolls in authentic foreign
costumes.
Then there. are the knits and
crochets. Some do snow suits.
some knit sweaters and skirts
and others dress their dolls in
pretty dimity dresses with a
knitted coat and hat.
Please remember when dress
ing your doll to provide fasten-

removed and then put back on
again for it's not much

Wardrobe
Most of all, little girls like
extra clothes for their dolls
Because many kind hearted
women make complete ward
robes for dolls, we have in
cluded a special prize for them.
Dressing dolls for The Old
Newsboys has become an in
stitution in Detroit. Detroit
ers look forward TO it each
year as eagerly as they do TO
Santa Claus himself. They've
been telephoning for weeks in
quiring where are our

Right now my ambition is
to get the guys that are doing
all the striking back home
and put them aboard the
ships out here, and let them
go with us.
IF they want a fight, this
is a DAMN good place to get
it. Maybe if they saw what it
was like out here, they would
get busy and give the guns
we are going to need to save
their hides.
ITS a good thing that i
have something more to fight
for than those birds or there
wouldn't be any fight.
Say hello to everybody for

"The way those poor people
are showed around is terrible.
In all my life l have never
seen anything like it. The way
they keep coming back for
more, they show no feeling
at all.
They are helpless against
the Jap's bombing because
they have no air force, and
what they do have is busy
trying to protect the Burma
rOad-the life line of China.
IL have talked with fellows
who have come down from
Chungking that were on the
Tutuila, and they say they
have seen one Chinese plane
60 up against as high as
thirty Jap planes, and that
takes CUTS.
They are fighting for the
real thing, and it will be a
pleasure to fight alongside
them. They said the way they
keep the Burma road open is
a miracle. 1t is bombed every
day but the Chinese fix it up
again, and that road isn't on
a plain where you can drive
around the bomb holes. 1t is
all i'm the mountains and is
tough going. But still they
keep going. The Chinese have
been known to attack small

less against. While was
