one side, and they try to get across
the Delaware without being tagged
by one of the sentries. A successful
tagging between the lines serves as
a cut-in, and the displaced dancer
becomes a sentry.

The boys will get questions like
these: What two girls are wearing
blue dresses? Who has the darkest

| Why

By JOSebhine Lowman

Gone are the days when a loss
of weight must also mean a loss Of
freshness in the face. The time has
passed when one must experience
extreme fatigue or pay for a girl
iSh figure with the loss Of ex-
huberant spirits.
Regardless, a great many women
still hesitate to lose the weight
which would leave them with a
youthful silhouette because they
feel that said loss would be un-
becoming to their faces.
Of course, when We drop a large
number of pounds, we do lose some
flesh from the face. However, I feel
that the tired look which people so
often attribute to loss of weight is
more often the result of faddish and
extreme diets which rob one of the
necessities of health. This wan ap-
pearance in the face and general
f1abby condition may also come from
losing too many pounds too rapidly.
It's a question of straight arith-
metic. Less food and more energy
expended in physical activity add
up to a loss in poundage. If we
persuade the hips to a fast loss by
exercising the hip muscles and do
not lose too rapidly, we will fade
in the spots we wish to lose and re-
main very much the same in the
face.
1t also is important to give the
skin time to shrink to its new pro-
portions 1t is wise to see to it that
we-lubricate our faces and necks ex-
tremely well during the reducing
period. 1t is not a bad idea to rub
the entire body once OF twice a week
with Softening lotionzeE oil. Keep
the skinraszpHant as possible.
Scientific diet, which cuts calories
( but meets the requirements of
health; exercise to reduce or build
portions of your body, reduction
if you have many pounds to lose
spell success. ~ j. : * :

S"No. You cannot play basket ball.
The doctor said you could have no
hard exercise for months to come
because your heart is bad. Now
just be quiet and >read your book
like good boy"
"All right. You'll see if I'll be
quiet. I'm sick of being quiet. III
set fire to the place. You'll see"
The boy in his desperation might
make a grave mistake such as he
threatened. 1t is impossible to tell
a boy to be quiet. he is sick, and
leave him to his rebellious thoughts.
When boy is laid up it is our duty
to see that he has something pleas
ant to think about and more i'm
portant still-something to do.
Inaction is poison to children.
They have no ability to be still.
Nature does not allow it. Their
minds whirl and their bodies re-
spond to every thought 1t is i'm
possible for them not to try to do
something. If it is not a useful en-
deavor it certainly will be some
other sort; for act they must and
will.
When a child in his anger and
rebellion shouts his threats don't
lose your head and shout in return.
He will calm down if you stay calm.
Don't allow him to see that you
feel the least bit uncertain about
his behavior Keep still and hand
him a job. Work will restore him
to cheerful normality if it doesn't
do anything more.
In the hospital nurses keep push
ing work into the hands of the
convalescents. Rolling bandageS,
making sponges, folding cloths. keep
hands and minds occupied and pre-
vent brooding and i'll temper and
relapse. Beside the uplifting feel
ing of usefulness there is the feel
ing of health that comes out Of
working.

Threats of running away, COM

you cannot, explain why, and show

If there are indications of i'll

Children set fires. run away and

example, long has been a favorite OF
the mature woman, and every FASH
ion report indicates that it will be
the outstanding mode for us all this
spring. Not only is it comfortable,
suitable for all-day wear and easily
changed with accessories, but in
these days when requirements are
likely to be limited, it is desirable
because it usually is tailored OF a.
good, long-wearing fabric. Most
women prefer well-tailored suits
with longer jackets to give the
smooth hipline that's both grace
full and slenderizing.
There has been some talk about
dress-like suits with softly draped
shorter jackets, deep armholes and
three quarter length sleeves. but
since these are worn as dresses,
rather than as suits, they are not
as adaptable as the more tailored
versions. AS a matter of fact, the
ideal wardrobe includes a selection
of tailored suits and jacket dresses.
rather than numbers of dress
suits" Prints in jacket styles are
more interesting than ever this year,
many of them used in combination
with plain n-colored fabrics, and the
careful selection of an interesting
print costume can do wonders for
the larger figure. In other words,
by massing color at shoulder or hip,
you can minimize the bulky portions
of the figure. Consider border prints,
too, because some of them are used
vertically for an amazingly slender
izing effect. Prints should be the
proper size for your figure proper
tions, while the lines of the dress,
to be really successful, should give
you that smooth, long, trim look
that is so much part of the we'll
groomed Older woman"
Finally, don't forget that it's pos
sible to work miracles" with ac-
cessories. Choose simply tailored
blouses for daytime wear, frilly, fem
mime ones for afternoon, and keep
your hats and bags in the same
general mood With prints, spick
up" one of the predominating eolors
to "tie the ensemble together"
But most of all, remember that
quality is more important than any
thing else in your spring wardrobe.
It may be a wardrobe you'll wear
for a number of seasons.
