Exercises for Shnzuess
BY Patricia Lindsay

Here are three effective exer-
cises to be practiced every day
preferably before the evening
meal. Each from 20 to so times.
EXERCISE /.
Stand against the wall with
heels about inches away from
it. Shoulders and spine should
touch wall; If you bend your
knees slightly it will help. Place
hands on hips; keep head back.
Bring right knee up to chest,
lower; bring left knee up to
chest, lower. Go slowly at first
and work into fast rhythm.
Raise each knee as high as pos
sible.
ExERCICE II.
Lie down on floor with shoul-
ders and small of back touching
it. Let arms at ease. Raise
right knee to chest, swing it
across body to left side trying
to touch floor with it (twist at
waistline keeping shoulders on
f1ooD, bring back to chest,
stretch out straight in midair,
lower slowly with toes pointing to
ceiling. Repeat with left leg. 1t
will take time before your body
Is hmbered enough to do this ex-
ercise expertly. The stretching
reduces all fleshy spots.

Shopping Around

BEAUTY IN THE BATH
Complete sets of metal bathroom
accessories may be found in one
of the speciality shops. These, as
every one knows, have been as
scarce as hens teeth, and, natur-
ally, the supply is limited-but
are they pretty! The items can
be purchased separately, but If
your budget can be stretched to
include all of the articles you
won't be sorry. Wall shelves,
tissue boxes, glass containers,
powder boxes, hampers and waste
baskets are in the lineup, and
each is finished in nice shade of
rose, yellow, blue or orchid. with
hand decorations. Gadgets of
this kind go long way in adding
to the appearance of a bathroom,
especially if it is a dark, old
fashioned room.
SILVERY -Whoops!
A new supply of precious sterling
silver pieces has recently been
received. This news certainly
should be interesting to readers
who must send silver wedding

ment are candy dishes, compotes,

feature about the salt and pepper

brass top which helps to distin-
guiSh between the two, and, also,
this type of metal will not be

Ais Fair-in Love and Leap Year!

Take a deep breath, girls. Re-
pair those running and jumping
shoes for the hurdles-'tis leap
year.
OF course, it's tough. But it's
been four whole years since
you've had a chance to pick a
husband and you have only $50
more days to make the grade.
Competition? It's keen. With
100000 men in the armed forces,
some 5000, 900 of the younger and
most eligible ones abroad and
100000 girls of marriageable
age-youll need all the fixin's and
trimmin's to get your man.
But what's poor gal to do?
He can't scent eau de cologne on
a V-mail letter. He can't see
your eyelashes flicker in the
moonlight. You've got to trap
him by remote control.
The answer is making love
through the mails with an okay
from Uncle Sans censor, using
some brand new techniques.
If he's the subtle type you must
plan your campaign with finesse.
Tell him they've just painted
your favorite park bench and
you've arranged to keep the wet
paint sign on it until he returns.
Or-they've chopped down the
old apple tree-and who cares
about picnics anyway?
If he's looking for somebody to
mother him-send him batch of
cookies made with your own little
hands land the help of mother
and some good shortening.

who is bothered by the high cost
of living, how about homemade

If the women to whom the

Of beauty would ask themselves
who are the happiest women

that the best gift that her fairy

This belief is based upon the
assumption that the good-looker
can get all of the balance of the
top drawer things in life for
herself, and that men, In espe-
cial, will vie with each other in
casting wedding rings and jewels
and limousines and such like at
her feet.
Undoubtedly the great ma
jority of both sexes fall for this
ancient fallacy, yet We have only
to look about us to see that while
we worship beauty in the alb
tract, it cuts very little ice with
us in the concrete, and that ex-
cept in certain specialized pro-
fessions, such as the chorus,
modelling and the cinema, excess
sive pulchritude is more apt to
be a hindrance than q help.
Certainly being Miss America
is no assistance to girl in get
ting a good job, for no employer
wants a girl around the premises
whose appearance is such as to
lead to Office flirtations and to
cause business acquaintances,
with amorous tendencies, to
make passes at her. I once
asked friend of mine why he
had parted with a secretary who
was not only exceedingly pretty
but exceedingly competent, and
he replied: Because of her
looks. Half Of the men who
came to see me on important
matters would dig me in the ribs,
and say: Who's the little queen
in the outer office? She is Ger
tainly an eyeful!' And that
wasn't good for the girl, nor for
me, nor for the business"
Furthermore. about 80 married
men out of 100 find that it saves
a lot of domestic friction to en-
ploy ladies whose age and looks
will arouse no heartburnings in
their wives breasts, instead Of
pin-up girls.
Even in marriage, where beauty
Is supposed to be the best bait
