Importance
Good
Posture

SCHOOLGIRLS, having varied
~ interests, all of them inn
portant, are sick and tired hear
ing about posture.
But with posture playing so
large part in ones appearance.
something further should be said
on The subject.
Women fling money for grand
rags, then wear them clumsily.
1t is a crying shame. It's not
only the gown, but how the
gown is worn that counts.
Good posture is more neces-
sary to good appearance than all
the makeup turned out by cos
metic chemists.
TO improve your posture, Try
this
Lie flat on the hack on the
floor, no pillow under the head.
Passing your hand under the
waistline you should find an in
ward curve of the spinal column.
Hips should be well on the
floor, not lifted, the chest high
and full. legs straight. Then
stand tall letting the body
assume the same position and
outline.
Keeping the matter OF posture
IN mind and carrying the body
beautifully will do more good in
the long run than going through
caliSthonics every day, though
If one would feel dutiful and
righteous one must do both.
The girl who does her daily
dozen and then sits IN a lumpish
manner, walks with her Shout
ders forward, might just as well
stop her torso twisting and arm
swinging. She is off the beauty
road

A Difficult Choice

AS tough as this decision Is on
all concerned it seems the only
way TO maintain any sort OF
faith in the theater. The mo-
ment a prize is given for the
sake of expediency- is the mo-
ment it ceases to have any
honor in It.
To assume that II would do
any one any good for the critics
TO dress up a bad season with
a phony laurel wreath. beat the
drums, and blow the trumpets is
no more sensible than to assume
that the newspapers could
change the status of the stock
market by classifying the market
quotations. The values would
remain the same, and the whole
thing turn into shallow and
meaningless mockery.
1t may be argued that stock
prices are facts, while criticism
is merely opinion. but criticism
also becomes a fact once it is
published. BY that I mean that
if 1 described Junior Miss" last
fall as a pleasant, highly enter
tanning, but extremely unim-
portant little comedy that opin-
ion is a fact which confronts me
in voting for a prize play.
The extremely difficult rules
for voting at the critics circle
were drawn up to protect just
such personal variations in opin-

NEW YORK. April Is.
ON THE matter of the giving
" prizes there are. as usual
two opinions. and. while / de-
plore the fact that there was no
new American play this season
worthy of the critics circle
award, / applaud the decision.
am glad that the judges felt
their prize too good for casual
giving.
The easiest way TO corrupt a
prize is to give it because II Is
there to be given. II the prize
itself has any merit it is only as
a recognition of merit in the
recipient. When that merit is
not there. and the prize is given
anyway the whole business be-
comes an empty gesture.

While I would not for a mo-

it was an afterthought. a sort
of complimentary postscript on
the part of a concern organized
TO honor American playwrights
and encourage native drama

There are those who feel that
in giving the foreign citation TO

adroitness with which he has
