CHILD'S PRAYER.
By Evelyn Hayes

more Importantly, in fatigue and
muscle ache as well.
What her course can do for the
body beautiful was dramatically
demonstrated at the luncheon by
the before-and-after pictures of
four graduates of the course. Slides
showed the size 40 and up proper
tions B. G. (before course) and the
girls were there in person to show
their current size IA sylphlike new
figures. One, now "a years old, said
that she had always hated to have
her picture taken, especially in a
bathing suit-and a slide showed
why. When she finally decided to
do something about 1t she was wear
ing a size 40 Gmagine-so young
and so highland getting bigger but
not better every year.
One exercise that the girls said
was most effective is designated as
a Figure Eight" and would prob
ably be a good one for you to try.
/. Lie down on the floor on your
back, stretching your arms out at
shoulder level. 2. Pull your bent
knees up on your chest. 3. Picture
yourself describing a figure 8 with
your knees. 4. Keeping your knees
bent, drop them to the floor to the
left of you, keeping your right
shoulder fiat on the floor at the
same time. S. Pull your knees, still
bent, on the floor up toward your
left elbow, working hard-and hard
er-to touch that elbow with your
knee. Even trying to do it Is good
exerciseD 6. Then, keeping your
knees together, raise them back

lover your chest again and do the
same thing to the right side. Alter
nate sides.
As one of the guests remarked,
Imagine doing that in an apart
ment with q nervous woman living
in the apartment below!" Our sug-
gestion is that you choose your
working surface wisely-the housing
situation being what 1t Is. Anyway,
keep at this-and you'll be q better
girl for it. Specifically this exer-
cise-from the Success Course
should do wonders for reducing and
improving the muscular tone Of
thighs, hips, tummy and waistline.
Here's a quickie for slimming the
waist-and one that you can do sit
ting down, for which you'll give US
silent cheers. Sitting up straight,
raise your arms above your head,
palms facing the ceiling, hngertips
touching. Then twist from side to
side as far as you can go In either
direction. You might try this while
listening to the radio-if you're will
ing to risk your husbands COM
mentS.
OF course, you don't have to do
these specific exercises. Any that
are scientifically planned-that Is,
directed toward certain muscles
will do the trick if-and this IL q
big IF-you have the will power to
do them regularly and to eat prop
erly. You certainly can't expect
results If you satisfy the hunger
that exercise stimulates with cream
puffs and ice cream. As Miss Della
field pointed out, most people don't
inherit fatness; they just inherit
big appetiteS.

Dorothy Dix Says

Undoubtedly much Of the friction
between husbands and wives that
makes so many marriages nothing
but a perpetual scrapping match
Is due to neither one having any
real, first hand. personal experience
Of the others Job, and that keeps
them from having the sympathy
and understanding and appreciation
that takes the WEAKNESS out of labor
and sweetens sacrifices.
I have often thought that II hus-
bands and wives could swap places
even for a single day it would revo-
lutionize the marriage relationship.
No man who had ever put in a 16-
or-18-hour day cooking, washing,
scrubbing, tending and an
swering the eternal call for
m-o-t-h-e-r would ever belittle
woman's work in the home again.
He would marvel that any one with
a lesser physique than Joe Louis
could survive it.
No woman who had ever Sweated
and toiled at manual labor until
she was ready to drop with fatigue,
VI AIdN IAC1 FC1y oO04 WILL OuI WALL
anxiety about how she was to meet
the note in the bank, would ever
feel herself ill-used because her hus-
band was not a bright and CHEEKY
companion Of an evening. They
would know how 1t was themselves
and have that fellow feeling that
makes us wondrous kind.
And, perhaps, the war, which has
taken so many women out of the
home and put them into factories,
and that has forced so many men
to add taking care Of the children
and doing the cooking and washing
the dishes to their other work, is
going to perform this miracle of
teaching husbands and wives to be
more patient with each other be-
cause each has worn the others
shoes for q little while and found
where they pinched. .5.,

Chances are it's you and not the
fashion that's to blame when your
clothes don't fit, said Ann Della
field-of the famed Success School
in addressing the Washington
Fashion Group at recent lunch
con. Most women rationalize their
defects by blaming fashions for
what are really their own short
comings. For example, when they
cry that materials don't wear, that
seams split, that wartime dresses
are not wearable, the true hidden
fault is usually that too much wo-
man Is stuffed inside the dress. By
the same token, complaint that
skirts are too short usually indi-
Gates that the complainer has bad
legs (Grable doesn't bewan brevity,
we're sure). and the great hue and
cry about the new ballerina waist
line is usually impelled by the fact
that, the lamenters have figures
that are far from ballerina pro-
portions.
To point up this theory, Miss
Delafleld told a story Of woman
who went to her wailing that war
time clothes were simply not wear
able, that skirts were too short and
skimpy, that necklines were unfiat-
tering, that dresses didn't At prop
erly. Said she, why, they're so
bad I just haven't bought a single
dress since the fall of Paris!" Miss
DeFafield said she looked the wo-
man up and down, and said with
a smile, Madame, something else
has fallen since Parisi"
For fashions to be fun, figures
should be fit, said this slim expo
nent of physical fitness whose the
ories have paid of so well. Her
six weeks correspondence course is
based on sound, scientific princi-
piles of physical fitness which she
learned in her training as a licensed
physio-therapist. In other words,
she understands thoroughly how
the human form is slung together.
1t is probably this training that
makes her emphasize that lack of
good healthy muscular tone mani
tests itself not only in fatness, but,

The old saying that one-half OF
the world doesn't know how the
other half lives is never so fully ex-
emplified as it is in marriage, and
this simple fact is responsible for 9
large part of the discomfort and
and spats that leads to
divorce. For, incredible as it seems,
many husbands and wives are jealous
Of each others role in the family
setup. Each believes that he or she
was gypped in the matrimonial bar
gain and was practically sold down
the river into slavery, while the
other leads the life of Riley.
When a wife complains of being
tired at night, her husband doesn't
pat her on the back and poor dar-
ling" her, and tell her that he just
doesn't see how such a frail little
creature manages to get through
with so much work. No, if he is the
common, or garden, variety of hus-
band, he poohpoohs her bids for
sympathy and tells her that if she
had done the hard days labor that
he has, she would have some
thing to whine about, and he wishes
HE didn't have anything to do ex-
cept to keep house and take care
of the children and could stay at
home and take it easy as she does.
And there are millions of wives
who never see their husbands start
ing to the Office of a morning with
out being green with envy, for to
them going down town means going
on a spree and they think it means
the same thing to their husbands
They picture their husbands as do
ing something thrilling and exciting
or lolling at mahogany desk and
exchanging good stories with other
men, and going out for leisurely
lunches at restaurants. And, fol-
goodness sake, they don't see what
men have done that makes them SO
tired they are never willing to step
out at night to party.

The Young Idea

If we live to be q hundred we'll
always be intrigued by q dollhouse.
Looking ct one, we mentally be-
come Lilliputian, and claim the
house for our very own. Recently
We stepped into that enchanted
world Of minute-sized rooms and
tiny furniture built to scale when
we saw the Model American Doll
house at the Children's Museum.
This green-shuttered, three-story
house, which has belonged to .
Washington family for three gen.
erations, Is many q little girls
dream come true. The walls of the
rooms are either beautifully pa
pered or painted, and the floors
and stairs-that actually run from
tho first floor to the attic-are car
peted. More truly q home than .
house, it reproduces the details Of
modern living with charming &C
curacy.
We wish we had space to mem
ton the many details that intrigued
us-among them the double fireplace
between the living room and sun
porch, that glows brightly, with tiny
filled coal and wood hods thanking
It; the miniature drawers that actu-
ally open, with telephone books and
note paper inside; the luxury
items, q can Of pineapple juice and
q bottle Of ketchup, in the kitchen
and the miniature bars Of soap. A
Duncan Phyfe table high lights the
dining room, but your child will also
love the Chinese red screen and
the tiny knives in the knife chest
We were fascinated by the grand
piano in the living room, decorated
with two graceful candelabra. Ac-
tually q music box, we had feel
ing that the tiny mistress Of the
house might be at the console when
lit plays the Beautiful Blue Dan
ube." The storeroom in the attic is
a story in itself. 1t looked for all
the world like our own room fol
castoffs, with old pictures proppee
|up in one corner, discarded skates
hanging carelessly from a hook
odds and ends that smacked o1
dust-gathering and disuse every.
where.
We hated to leave. We walked
around to the front Of the house
to take one last look as our COM
panion folded the back and side
Of the house into place, and oul
attention was caught by the shut
ters on the front. At this point w

Just put back into the oven (Which
Is not on). A few minutes-about
|20-before the hamburgers are
ready, the potatoes and buns may
