Old?
By yosebhine Lo,Dmas

No matter how often write abouk
bust development the letters stiu
pour in asking for help In develops
ing q more feminine silhouette. AZ
I have said many times before, the
only way you can increase this
measurement is to gain weight
(Which often puts rolls where yoq
do not want them or to indulge
in exercises which build up the chest
muscles. It Is entirely possible to
increase the bust measurement
through exercise but this takes tirne
and must be faithfully executed
You must not expect results untn
a few months have passed.
Today I am going to give you .
splendid exercise. Stand erect. Place
your hands in q prayerful attitude,
with the palms and fingers together.
Turn the hands in until your finger.
tips are pointing toward you. Press
your fingers and palms together
hard. Hold q few seconds. Relax.
Repeat about IS times the first day
and gradually increase until you are
doing this exercise about rs times In
the morning and Is times before
going to sleep at night.
It is q good idea to stand in front
Of a mirror when you do any Of the
bust developing exercises. If you
see your chest muscles jump you
are doing the exercise correctly. II
there is no motion at this point,
then you are not executing 1t as In.
dicated. In most all Of these exer.
cises the arms should be raised fair.
ly high In front of you. II they are
too low your muscles will not move
as they should. Watch your mir
ror TO find the position your arms
should take.
Poorly fitted brassieres, child bear
ing and poor posture are the three
main factors In the loss of an at
tractive bustline. A bra should sup
port rather than hatten, and hav-
ing q child need be no reason for
loss Of attractiveness in feminine
contour.
If you wish direction in protecting
your bustline even though you are
an expectant mother, send q
stamped, self-addressed envelope
with your request for my leafiet No.

Versatile Volunteers Create Craft Shop
By Betty Miles


To be or not to be-social work.
ers or social butterflies? That was
the decisions Mrs. Harry Bernton, a
former president of the Council of
Social Agencies, asked so young
women to make one day in 1899.
Would her acquaintances be in
terested in organizing q service
guild-designed to help, with money,
time and effort, the hospitals and
organizations that needed their aid?
Their answer was yes. Over the
past 10 years, the Service Guild of
Washington, now three times its
original size, has donated $4,000 to
she Health Security Administration,
and approximately 5000 to the
Drug and Serum Fund of Children's
Hospital, the two principal recipients
of its money. And each member has
been asked to give so hours of serv-
ice a year to the community. They
have worked at Children's Hospital,
manned booths during city-wide
drives, worked as interviewers and
field workers for the Red Cross, and
play cards weekly with the men at
Walter Reed Hospital. Some men,
bers have worked at st. ElizabethS,
at the Warwick Cancer Clinic and
with Girl and Boy Scouts.
A month ago they launched their
latest project, the Service Guild
Craft Shop, located at 3404 Con-
necticut avenue NV.
They discovered that many mem
bers we're skilled with a brush and a
needle when Mrs. Henry Fox and
Mrs. Julian Cohen set up a craft
shop in the "sub-subbasement" Of
the Chevy Chase Ice Palace last
year. There, members trooped down
five flights of stairs to the shop and
went to work. They rehabilitated
old toys, put new bows on bears and
bunnies, gift wrapped the toys and
gave them to needy children. (This
work is still going on. incidentally,
and cast of toys are still most well
They also did the type OF
work offered in their shop now on a
small scale.
The shops profits will 60 toward
the projects that the Guild supports.
Shop furniture was donated and q
friend has supplied the rooms rent
free, too. Bookkeeping and inven-
tory are being taken care OF by the
members husbands.
Twenty-Five members turn out
the work personalizing and decora-
ting place mats, shower curtains,
tooth brushes. waste baskets, guest
towels and other items in a thor
oughly charming and distinctive
way. The artists will do work TO
order, monogramming, painting
names, designs, gay sayings or other
motifs desired by the buyer. There
Is no additional charge Tor this
work, and the items themselves sell
reasonably. For fee the artists
will also decorate items not bought
in the shop. /
One set Of place mats, designed
with an eye for a child, features
mat for every day Of the week, and
each one is decorated with q diff
ferent animal. Mats in another set
are labeled breakfast" lunch" and
dinner" The mats come In trans
parent or white plastic, and In
cork. Monogrammed hot plate
stands are attractive, too.
A slender, monogrammed tortoise
shell shoe horn would enhance any
Christmas stocking. The shop Is

From Mrs. M. T. L., Ldnhdm.J
For O. M. p, Silver Spring and
others who would like Christmas
material.
An annual book Christmas
compiled and edited by Randolph
E. Hangar is produced at the Ans
burg Publishing House in Mime
apolis Is, Minnesota. The hrst
volume was issued in 1881. Each
volume is complete in itself and
each volume contains different

Christmas season, articles, stories,
poetry, Christmas carols, Christmas
art and photography Christmas
music, etc. Some in color. 1t has
been priced at s10O paper back or
$500 cloth back. Hutzler BIOS
Be,timore, Md, advertised a book
whose description reads very much
like the one I have described. It's
name, too, is 'Christmas-An Amer
ican Annual of Christmas" They
may be the same.
I have a copy of 1.-The Book OF
Christmas" issued by the Macmillan
Co. New York 1910. 1t has an intro
duction by Hamilton Wright Mabie
and contains stories, some unusual,
poems, hymns, carols, etc.. under
the headings Signs OF the Season;
Holiday Saints and LORDS" !;
christmas Customs and Beliefs;
christmas Carols; Christmas
Day; Christmas Hymns; Christ
mas Revels";; when All the World
Is Kin; christmas Stories';;' New
Year; Twelfth Night" J.. "The
Christmas Spirit"
Most of the stories are by we'll
known authors. although some OF
the stories, etc, are not so well
known. If this book is out OF prin'
1t would be in our libraries.
Then there Is The Other WISE
Man" Wan Dyke) than which there
is no finer Christmas story.

FLOWERS VS.. GAS HEAT
From Mrs. E. B. w., Tall Ttmbers.) >
I was reared in a gas heating
district so maybe my experience
would help Mrs D. S. T., who want
ed to know about raising flowers In
a gas-heated house.
At home we always kept a large
number of house plants Of all kinds
and descriptions. Our home was
heated with open gas stoves. We
always kept the flowers on low
benches near the windows. Keep
them in any room, just so they will
not freeze. Often at night we
would hang a heavy spread between
the window pane and the flowers
so the foliage would not touch the
glass and freeze. The only trouble
we ever had, If the room was too
hot the leaves would fall of the
plants; also they seem to require
more water.
QUERY.

Some time ago there was an item
giving directions for restoring color
to garments faded by perspiration.
I clipped it at the time, but have

preciate some one sending a repeat. !

RE: CARPETING.

From Mrs. c. G. r., CheUy Chase.
From housekeeper Of IS years
experience wall to wall carpets are
the easiest and most satisfactory
floor covering I've ever had. But
do, get light colors, and the Twist
or somewhat patterned, style for
practical use. I have had both pale
and very dark colors, and the light
colors take hard use such as in
halls or from children's hard wear
best of all.
Get best quality, deep pile, for
stairway. I am still using 16-year-
old stair carpet which shows no sign
of wear. Use pads under this as
we'll as room floors. 1t Is not only
more comfortable to walk on, but
saves wear on carpeting.
To increase look of size in room
have all woodwork painted surface
one color. Use enamel whenever
there will be finger marks. In a
powder room where there was no
protection to wall paper from splat-
tered water I used wallpaper with
excellent results. 1t was practically

Ministers Hit
Randolph On
Stand

ATLANTA. (NNPA) An or
ganization Of clergymen took
issue last Friday with A. Philip
Randolph. president of the Broth
erhoou of Sleeping Car Porters.
The difference arose over his
advocacy Of civil disobedience
to any compulsory military train
ing or service law Congress may
enact unless race segregation Is
wiped out of the armed forces:
The INSTRUMENTATION Min
isters' Alliance issued a state
ment saying II agreed with Mr..
Randclph'S stand regarding seq
regation but regretted that he
presumed TO give the impression
that the Negro majority share
his extremist view of seeking
the abolition of racial discrimi-
nation in the armed forces by
becoming disloyal traitors TO
their country"
Ths statement added that The
Negro has never been guilty of
treason and we believe that the
Negro race will not give their
assent to such an act now"
