ers Of the groups could keep IN
touch with each other and arrange
for exchanges of ideas, equipment,
etc. Periodic announcement of fu-
ture meetings or appeals for assist
ance on any particular project in the
Clearing House would help bring in
new readers.
For M. BIS immediate use, I would
suggest that she go to the Library of
Congress and look through files of
such magazines as Woman's Day
Country Gentleman, and American
Home for ideas, instructions and
patterns. Frequently, detailed direc-
tons and full scale patterns can
be obtained from these magazines
for only few cents. And interesting
ideas can be further pursued in
books located by the card index.

Why Grow Old?
BY Josephine Lowman

Here I come to help you keep
those New Years resolutions! I do
not know whether you will love me
or hate me for 1t because you your
self are going to have to supply the
elbow grease! Did any of you decide
that you are tired of a protruding
back hip line, that it spoils your
entire silhouette and that you are
going to do something about it in
1916? Well, there is no time like
the present and here are two ef-
fective exercises for that problem!
No. l. Lie on the floor on your back
with your arms resting on the floor
at your sides. Bend both knees and
place your feet on the floor, with
your heels fairly close to your hips.
Lift your hips off the floor, twist
to the left and slap your left hip
down smartly against the floor.
Now twist to the right and slap
your right hip against the floor.
Continue, alternating left and right.
You will discover that this is one
OF those Lowman-sent exercises
which are two purpose. This one
also is splendid for the waist line.
No. 2. Another motion for pretty

Do you believe in the So
called enemies - lobster and
milk? Do you know how to
battle that bulge for a stream
lined figure or add a few pounds
for curves? Can you whip up a
tasty balanced dinner for your
returned hero - husband or
steady date? Can you expertly
utilize all the quick meal de-
vices in the market? Are you
familiar with the foods the boys
returning from combat like? If
not, we can teach you in 10 easy
lessons-believe it or not!
The Nutrition Service of the
District of Columbia Chapter,
American Red Cross, is starting
a food fashion workshop-open
to the public and free.
1t will stress the answers to
the above as we'll as food facts

SUGGESTIONS ON HAND CRAFT
(From L. F. M, Arlington.)


The two correspondents who have
recently expressed a desire for ham
dicraft courses are, I'm certain, typ
ical of large numbers of persons In
the Metropolitan Area. 1t is unfor-
tunate that there are not more
courses available for such persons
but I think frequently, more can be
gotten out OF meetings of group of
interested people, exchanging ideas
and contributing. in experience with
something already familiar, or by
making a study of a subject. Gin
Vulnerable books are available in
the Library of Congress- A high
school class in home economics
which I once taught, turned out
professional looking work with just
a few hours experience in several
different crafts. Couldn't the Clear
ing House help get interested per-
sons together? I would suggest that
interested persons send in name,
address and telephone numbers to
you, indicating their interests, times
they could meet, etc. You could then
send the names to one or more
readers who have indicated a will
ingness to help organize the groups,
to arrange meeting places, times,
etc. Probably outside speakers to
demonstrate particular hobbies could
be found occasionally, and the lead

back hip line. Lie on the floor on
your back, legs straight and your
arms stretched out on the floor over
head. Raise your trunk and try to
touch your fingers to your toes. Lie
down returning arms to overhead
position and lift your legs, rolling
over so that your toes touch the
floor behind your head. Continue
This is like rocking in a rocking
chair except the rock Is more ex-
IRENE.
If you suspect that your back hip
line Is out of proportion and want
to see how 1t stacks up land can
it stack up quicklyD with your other
measurements, get a tape measure
and measure around the largest part
of your lower hips. Remember that
there should be about 10 inches diff
ference between your hips and your
waist and that your hips should
not be more than inches larger
than your bust.

attitude of their husbands since
they came back from overseas. They
say that their husbands letters from
the front were filled with express
sions of affections for them and
the children and of longing to be
back home and with plans for the
many things they would do together
when they returned.
But now," say these fearful wives,
that our husbands have come back,
they are restless and dissatisfied and
irritable. Nothing We do seems to
please them. The childrens noise
gets on their nerves. Our talk about
domestic affairs bores them. They
won't take us out anywhere. They
crouch over the high cost of living.
And they are no more like the gay,
Icompanionable, understanding hus-
bands who went to war than if they
were another race of human beings
And the husbands, on their part,
are just as much disillusioned in
finding that their wives have
changed from glamour girls into set
tied women, as the wives are in dis
covering that their Sunny Jims have
turned into grouches. And it Is all
very pitiful but inevitable, for none
of US stay static. No man and
woman who went through the war
either on the home front or the
battle front, remained unchanged
Danger and death and work and
worry took their toll of them an6
left their ineffaceable marks upon
them.
Perhaps the main reason why hus.
bands and wives have found it hare
to adjust themselves to each othel
after the war is because when the,
were separated each idealized tn,
other and created a man and WON
an with virtues that are not of thi
world, and set them against back
ground of luxuries and beauty. II

Etiquette

don't know whether it is a Sec
tional or merely an individual trait,
but the wife who thinks that her
husband must sit beside none other
than herself is not unheard of. A
letter says: my husband feels that
when we have another couple out in
our car we women should sit in the
back of the car and the men up
front. I feel that I should sit up
front with him the way I did before
we were married. Just because we
are married should be no reason for
me to take a back seat! Please ad-
wise If there is a correct rule to go
by"
There is no rule as to which guest
might sit next to your husband, but
there Is certainly very definite
rule against your sitting with him
when guests are driving with you.
To sit beside him, for such reason
as his not knowing the way would be
the only excuse for this discourtesy
to your guests.

Fathers Sound Advice

She would. Wonder how she

they get the stardust fellows to ask
them is what I'd like to know. She's
no star from any point of view"
That's what I said and Pa said
he hoped I'd do half as well for
myself as she did. 1t made me
wonder what she had that Pa
thought I hadn't and I got to think
ing how she looked and how she
acted and how measured up along
side"
She's a droop. Hardly a trace of
lipstick, hair plain as one of those
tailored mannikins in Booths win
dow. She has good taste in clothes
I'll hand her that, but its plain, too
plain for me. She's got old maid
manners if you ask me-"
Yeah. But she isn't an old maid
and Pa said her man got a bargain
and he hoped I'd do as well for my
self and knew he was thinking
wouldn't. so I'm worried"
You, too. And if we're thinking
of toning down our style and slack
ing our speed maybe we'd better take
another look in the mirror before
we go to class. After all when you
think that prize like that gets
away from you, makes you think"
We'll, we wouldn't have had a
chance anyway, with him. But Pa
said a girl ought to look ahead a
little and where she was heading.
And I thought he meant me- Some

it was not advisable to get over
