WhyGrow

Bv Josebhine Lowman

If women could rub Aladdin's
lamp and make a wish. a large per-
centage Of them would ask for a
slim Waistline, and wisely so! No
other figure attribute gives quite
the same impression of figure charm.
l have always noticed this when
measuring pupils. If a woman has
a truly slim waist she can carry
quite lot of weight on the hips
and still look willowy
The waist is one of the most likely
meeting places for fatty deposits
and it is therefore fortunate that
it is one Of the easiest spots to re-
duce. The condition of the ab-,
dominal muscles also affect the
waist. Posture makes a big differ
ence. You can decrease your waist
line an inch or more simply by i'm
proving your posture. {
However, special exercise is the
Aladdin's lamp for slimming the
waist. Here are a couple of rubs to
make your wish come true:
/. Stand tall with your feet a COM
Portable distance apart, arms raised.
overhead. Bend your trunk and
touch your left foot with your
fingers. If you cannot do this bend
down as far as you can in that
direction. Now raise the trunk, arms
again overhead. As you do so twist
the trunk TO the right, looking back
over your right shoulder. This time
bend the trunk and touch fingers to
the right foot. Raise trunk and
arms and twist trunk to the left,
looking over left shoulder. Con-
tinue, alternating left and right.
Remember that the twist and stretch
are important.
2. Stand tail with feet apart and
arms raised sideways shoulder
height. Bend your trunk to the
left and try to touch your left hand
TO the floor. Raise trunk, keeping
arms in same relation to the body
This time bend trunk to the right
and try to touch your right hand to
the floor. Raise trunk. Continue,
alternating left and right.
If you wish TO have my tested ex-
ercises which will take inches from
your waistline in a few weeks time,

Dear Miss Dix: We are two sis

that whenever we ask our friends to
our home our family. with whom we
live, camp in the living room and
monopolize the entire conversat ton

a regular routine.

new fall collections of New Yorks

creators are stressing high fight"

better rehash your medieval, Rem

on which, in some instances, whole
collections have been built.
At the food, fashion and fore
cast" luncheon held at the Metro
politan Museum, and at the opening
forum in the morning at the in
stitutes Offices, the editors were
given glimpse of the influence
that history is playing on this years

man of the Fashion Committee of

speech that America is now at the

She went on to say that American
fashion designing has become q
free standing, creative force which
not only America but the whole
world recognizes"

drawn on several of the most lavish

seems assured that here is a note
worthy fall trend.
BY snap judgment on this. the first
day of press week, we'll say that the
rounded feminine line is in, and
the more elegant the dress and the
trim the higher the fashion note for
fall. Well echo the words of Adelia

Institute who is shortly to turn over

SALAD DRESSING?


From F. M. P, Arlington.)
From time to time, contributors
to the column refer to Maine. There
is a particular brand of salad dress
ing that I was able to obtain at a
large grocery store at Congress
Square, in Portland. I have been
unable to get this brand or any
other brand Of salad dressing like it
anywhere except in Portland. When
salad dressings were more plentiful
than they are now, I used to have
a friend buy and send me Jars OF
this dressing. Now, however, none
Is available, and I am anxious to
try to duplicate the favor and con-
slstency in q homemade dressing
I have tried recipe after recipe, but
TO date l have been unsuccessful in
obtaining the desired result. Since
cannot mention trade names, I
will describe the dressing. and per-
hapS some Maine reader will recog-
nize the brand and maybe send a
recipe for dressing that will fairly
approximate the commercial kind
for which search. The dressing was
of the consistency of mayonnaise
but had no oil in it, and the fact
that the dressing had no oil in it
had much to do with tie trade
name. The favor was like that of
nice homemade boiled dressing,
with just enough mustard and
sWeetening to make it thoroughly
delightful. Does any one recognize
the article? And has any one any
idea of the ingredients? I might
say also that the dressing was man
utactured in Worcester, Mass, but.
strange to say, never could find
any in stores in or around Boston
nor even in cities as near as IS miles
to Worcester. Perhaps it was a
case of the article having to 20
away from home to attain glory! l
wish that some one could help me,
as miss that delicious flavor in my
salad dressings. I haven't the name
of the manufacturer. else l could
write direct and make inquiries
This was not an expensive dress
lng-ln the days of old. it used to
be % cents for pint jar.

BABY PROBLEM.

From Mrs. d. K. B., Bethesda
This suggestion is in reply to
Baby Problem" We had a SIM
liar experience with our infant
around 5 months and found the
baby was too hot When she was
too warm, she'd wake up crying, and
Of course, this tended to make her
hotter and she'd cry longer. Later
Oh, if too hot, she'd wake and cry
again.
Our solution. which has worked
beautifully. was to be sure she
wasn't tucked in with too many
covers or had on a gown that was
of too heavy weight for the weather.
Now, she's wearing a thin gown
during these warm nights and no
coverS-not even a sheet. She's very
healthy-never any colds and sleeps
from 7:30 pm. to $50 am. with
out waking.
Before she goes to bed she has
a play period" from about 7 to
7:30 pm. This tends to tire her
and makes sleep very welcome.
Also, before retiring, she is al
ways offered a drink of water (as
we'll as many other times during
day. and then you can feel she will
not awaken because of thirst.

COMMENT.

From Mrs J. H. H., Be(tSrilIe, Nd
Several days ago some one Won
dered how other people felt about
the soap operas that clutter up the
air waves all day long Speaking
for myself and also expressing the
opinions of numerous other women
with whom I have at some time or
other discussed tand cuSsedD these
programs, I think they are silly,
disgusting and tiresome.
Phooey! I nate EN-! I also dislike
the blues singer believing
like some calf that has lost mama
and her masculine counterpart who
sounds like a love sick Thomas cat
Why don't more advertisers get wise
and put on programs like the ones
sponsored by one of Washington S
Well-knoWn furniture companies and
a Tuesday night cigarette program
so as to provide sufficient variety to
let us all enjoy our radios? If they
did, though, Id be so busy enjoying
the nice music that I'd have no time
to do my work AS it is I'm not
tempted to turn on the radio at all
except for the pleasure I get in
turning it off in the middle of wall.
l trust I have made my ideas on the
subject quite clear?
Evening star., 1946-07-17

A great deal of emphasis is placed
by my contendants on motherhood,
it would seem, as though
they would make that most digni-
fed of relationships an excuse for
feeling sorry for themselves. In my
inexperienced opinion, that is the
one function in lite that should
raise one above all such pettinesS as
self-pity and the martyr complex,
no matter how tired and worn one
may feel, for it is the one job that
is exclusively a Woman's own, the
one job than man can't do, the
one Job without which there would
be no point in any of the others,
for, without it, there would be no
human race. tAnd We won't debate
whether that would be bad or goodD
To conclude. I do not think, as
Mrs. E M suggests. that all young
mothers are filled with an ebullienCe
of energy that never flags. l know
they are human beings and all hu-
man beings get tired and have their
off moments. and I do not think i
too, too terrible for any one of
them to ask occasional help in
household tasks from their hus-
bands, but I do think it terrible and
disgusting if that help is asked with
a whine or with a demeanor imply
ing that the big, selfish brute ought
to lend his overbTdened little vic
tim all the help he possibly can, as
of right 1t is not what one does
nor what one asks, in itself, but
the spirit and the attitude in which
it is done and asked that make the
vital difference between the gallant
comrade and the whimpering self
elected slave.
That's all I mean, and now let's
shake hands and our readers, If any
can decide who went down for the
count. Cheerio!
