Place your foot on an ink soaked
pad, stepping down, and then stamp
the imprint Of your foot on q piece
of clean paper. If there Is a blank
space between the ball of the foot
and the heel. you have a good arch.
If the entire imprint of your foot
shows, your feet are fiat. This is
reminiscent of the footprints which
some hospitals make of new babies.
Of course there is much variation
between the good arch and the fiat
foot, but this will give you some
idea of where you stand as to foot
health and the probability Of trouble
ahead.
If your arches are weak, begin
your exercises. Many readers and
pupils have achieved wonderful re-
suits from systematic exercise.
Here Is one: Take q broom handle
and place 1t on the floor. Now step
on it with your right foot. Roll
backward and forward on it with
your foot. In order to do this you
will have to pull the toes under and
then raise them up. When your
right foot is tired do the same thing
with your left foot.

Stretch With Elastic

Pardon me, madam, but would
you like to do a stretch? 1t has
nothing to do with wearing a num-
ber and some pretty black and white
stripes; instead it's a famous beauty
experts formula for losing excess
poundage. You stretch like a cat
and grow slim and supple. It's as
easy as all that.
To make it even more simple
there's available an elastic-like cord
with two loops, into which you
put your hands or feet while you
do stretching routine. BY using
this uncomplicated line at home
you'll be able to stick to your ex-
ercises and so make your muscles

not only do the routines help to
give you poise and balance, but
they're actually relaxing, easing
tension and soothing your nerves,

of a moment or two before spirits
rise again, and parties to celebrate
the new freedom" become the order
of the day.
Such gatherings are usually infor-
NAL affairs, and confined to class
mates and a few of their outside
intimate friends. Fun. plenty of
chatter and speculation on future
careers are usually paramount-but
refreshments count lot, too, and
the wise hostess will see that her
guests are supplied with as tasty,
though simple collation. as her re-
sources can manage.
If the weather is hot, provide
good supply of soft drinks and iced
tea or coffee. If it's cool-then hot
tea, plain or spiced, and coffee will
fill the bill. If you're clever you'll
remember that sentiment and listen
ing to sermons and lectures Is apt
to promote terrific appetite in the
young-so be prepared with sand
wiches by the dozens.
1t might be amusing to have some
of the sandwiches rolled. to repre-
sent diplomas-"tied" with ribbons
of pimento. Cooked asparagus stalks
are good in these; butter the bread
lightly with creamed butter into
which a few chopped chives have
been mixed, and roll the bread slices
around the asparagus stalk. If you
will wrap the rolled sandwiches
tightly in waxed paper, and set them
to chill in the icebox before serving,
you will find that they stay nicely
rolled throughout the party. Water
cress stalks may be used in place OF
the asparagus-or you could cut long
fingers of peeled cucumber to fit the
rolled slices. Chill the cucumber fin
gers for an hour or so in salted ice
water before putting them on the
buttered bread slices.
Another filling that works well in
rolled sandwiches is made by add
ing some crisp cooked chopped bacon
to several spoonfuls of chutney and
spreading this lightly on the but
tered bread. Cream cheese, softened
with little cream and mixed with
chopped chives and paprika, is an
other tasty combination.
A different version of the "diplo-
ma" theme is accomplished by bak-
ing small link sausages in rolls of
biscuit dough These are very good,
especially if the weather is cool.
Other appetizers that win the ap-
proval of the college-age contingent

ard dipped in riced hard boiled egg

toes, chilled, inpaled on toothpicks

Do Not Interfere
Too Much With
Child's Affairs
By Leffice Lee Street,

The industrious juvenile painter,
seriously absorbed in coloring pic
ture of an apple, may have ideas
of his own as to what tints that
apple should have. Perhaps he will
paint 1t blue with pink leaves. He
knows that apples are really red or
yellow with green leaves, but this is
very special apple, his own crea-
ton. Just about then an adult is
apt to butt in and say: How silly!
Don't you know that apples are
never blue? Let me show you how
it should be-" Such ridicule and
unasked for criticism can easily
stop the flow of a child's imagina-
ton, hurt his feelings and make
grownups are pretty stupid people.
A child has every right to ex-
press himself in harmless little ways
like this. His likes and dislikes are
normal and to be expected, and his
Imagination should be encouraged.
His preferences for little things
should be respected.
For instance, if a child eats with
relish most Of the dishes put before
him it is dull and autocratic on the
part of the parents if they try to
force him to eat food that is re-
pulsive to him. A tug of war OF
wills always follows, needless and
upsetting to both child and parent,
and such nerve-racking scenes are
not worth q helping of squash or
spinach or whatever the dish is to
which the child consistently objects.
The food values and yitamins found
in one or two vegetables can be
supplied adequately in other foods.
A musical child, who is therefore
sensitive to sound, should be under
stood and not scolded If he weepS
when he hears a sudden loud or
ugly noise. A small girl who has
been blessed with an eye for color
should not be made unhappy by be-
ing forced to wear dress she does
not like or an ensemble of socks,
hair ribbon and frock that is dis
pleasing to her. Perhaps her sense
Of design and color is better than
yours. If so, be thankful
1t goes without saying, of course,
that it is up to us to try to teach
our children what is safe and what
is correct, but in the matter of
originality we should not interfere
too much lest we destroy talents
and imagination more lively than
our own.

Dear Miss Novel;: Can you sug-
gest way that can use candles
and flowers on a small table so that
there is still room for food? My
table is long and narrow, and no
matter what I do, there seems to
be very little room for place plates.
T. r. E.
Answer-Try setting your pieces
opposite each other on the long
sides of the table. Place your flow
ers and candles at the ends and
you will then clear the whole serv-
ing area for action. Try flower
containers like old-fashioned cake
plates which stand on foot. Place
a two-branch candlestick on the
plate and arrange your flowers at
the base of the candleholder. Or,
purchase one of the new candle and
flower containers that give you both
decoration and light and take UP
very little room.
