self up. is going to be the one girl
who sits home on Saturday nights
beginning with August.
1t isn't quite so bad if all the

put on their hats, or to powder their
noses together, and all stay out to-

to each other. When one is done
she grows impatient and starts
prodding her companions to hurry

But when one girl out of party
decides at the last minute to put on
another hat. or to take last look
at her skirt in the mirror, and then
stays for a half hour. she is playing

In Greece the bath was an at
tachment of the gymnasium. This
is as it should be. Today we follow
our exercise with a shower or bath.
However, there could be an even
closer correlation between the bath
and exercise. There are exercises
which we can take while in the
bath and while drying ourselves.
These take virtually no time, be-
cause they are Just an elaboration
of the motions We use anyway.
For instance. here is one: Take
a towel in your hands, one END IN
each hand. towel behind your back.
Now straighten the spine, reach for
the ceiling with the top OF your
head. and rub your back with the
towel. This is splendid for ffabby
arms and round shoulders.
Again. when YOU are ready TO dry
the legs. keep the knees stiff as you
bend forward Begin rubbing at
the hip of the left leg and 90 down
the leg to the left foot knees stiff .
Now lift the towel high over the
head, elbows straight. This time
start with the right hip and dry
the right leg. going down until YOU
reach the right foot Lift the towel
high over the head. arms straight.
Alternate legs. This vigorous rub
down stimulates circulation and YOU
are slimming your waist at the same
time.
Another: Take one end OF the
towel in each hand. Reach for the
ceiling with Your arms. Keeping
the arms over your head. rotate
the trunk first to the left and then
to the right.

Grownup people are usually able
to take care of themselves and if
thev like to burn themselves to the
color OF baked potatoes, why not?
But children, having tender skins,
far more susceptible to burning than
their elders. need protection. Sum-
baths must be taken in moderation,
with caution and better yet, under
the direction of the family physician.
would never let child expose his
body to the sun until I had the
opinion, and the advice of the
physician who knew him we'll.
Children differ in their reactions to
sunbaths as we'll as to other expert
ences and as exposure to the sun
can be dangerous, it is we'll to go
cautiously.
Some children suffer grievously
from sunburn. Their skins are so
sore that the slightest touch is
painful. They have fever; their
stomachs are upset, they cannot
sleep The physician must be called
to relieve them. How much better
for the children, and their people
to have consulted the physician be-
fore the bath? This is one situation
where a little is good, and too much
disastrous.
Don't send a little child out on
the ocean beach on a warm moist

enough for this purpose When not
in such use the long. pointed
sleeve-ends were confined by q band

Not until about the l5OOs did
women begin to wear gloves. Cor
geous things they were, decorated
with gold and silver thread, en-
crusted with jewels and finished of
with fringe and tassels. Small won-
der that they were treated as
legacies.
Perfumed gloves were the prod
uct of the Italians, Viennese and
Spanish, and travelling English
men of the Middle Ages brought
the sweet-scented gifts home.
Gloves ''knytt of silk" were another
foreign Importation of the 10th
century.
Bribery is also bespoken by gloves
of these days. Gift gloves were
so called because they contained
money as a token of thanks for
services or attentions rendered to
the giver. There is a well-krown
story of pair lined" with 40
angels" (an old English coin) pre-
Sented to England's famous cham
cellor, Sir Thomas More, by lady
in whose favor he had decided a
cause. He is said to have returned
the money with note reading.
Mistress, since it were against good
manners to refuse your New Years
gift, I am content to take your
gloves, but as for the lining I ut
terly refuse it
Gloves ranked high as gifts III
olden days, being one Of the most
popular presents subject could give
the sovereign.
AS a gentleman's gift, to a lady
they have ever been in impeccanle
taste.
In addition to emphasis on COM
fort and utility. gloves take on
daintiness with the years. Summer
models today are delight-fash-
ioned of hower-strewn silk, fragile
net or cobweb lace.
"Bien gantee. bien chaussee," runs
a French proverb that means to be
we'll gloved and neatly shod is to
be perfectly groomed. for "Beauti-
full gloves impart the coup de grace
to the formal costume of either
man or woman Even today
the wearing of gloves lends to the
individual a sense of dignity and
personal distinction"
