WhyGrow
Old?
By Josebhins Lowman

We always seem to be hepped up
about hips! Nobody likes to stick
out In awkward spots, to the ruina-
ton of q lovely figure. Weight dis
tribution varies in different indi-
viduals; however, hips and stomach
and waist usually feel the impact
of too many pounds.
Some women retain a fairly slim
hipline, but become thick through
the waist and fat over the abdomen,
while others remain fairly slim IN
these latter proportions only TO be
harassed by q bulging, shelfnKe
hipltne. There's no justice! We
either "get it" from one side or the
other II we gain too much weight
or allow our muscles to become lax
and to slump.
A letter before me says: II have
lost az inches from my hip meas
urement in a month by doing some
of your rolling and stretching exer-
cises. I feel wonderful, too. I am
in my early Cos, but am not ready
to slump over and spread out!
Here is proof Of the exercise. You
really do not have to keep that big
hipline. If you have the correct
number of pounds you can redis-
tribute your weight through exer-
else. II you have too many pounds
you can decrease the hipline by
diet and a resulting loss of weight
and can speed the loss in Inches
by special hip exercises.
This Is one exercise the reader
whom I have quoted used: Lie on
your back for the double cross
That is what I call it, because 1t
will double cross those hip and
thigh bulges. Lie on your back on
the floor. Your arms are resting
on the floor, extending out from
your shoulders. Your legs are
straight and your fingers cling tc
the floor. Swing your left leg ovel
your right and try to touch YOU
left foot to your right hand. Re-
turn leg to place. Swing your righ'
leg over your left and try to touch
your right foot to your left hand
Return to place. Continue, alter
mating left and right. Keep you
knees straight throughout the ex
ercise.
Another: Lie on the floor on you
back. Roll from side to side as yol
lift your trunk and your legs from
the floor. The body weight fall
over the largest part of the hips.
This is all you need If you ar
hippy, but not happy, but If yo'
would like to have my complet
routine for hip slimming to Civ
you variety, send a stamped, self
addressed envelope with your re
quest for leaf1et No. 3 to JOSEPHINE

II you haven't already bought
Christmas gifts for every one on
your list-and we honestly know
some one who has-the December
issues of the women's magazines
have been eagerly edited to help
you.
There are many charming sug-
gestions, toos for decorating your
home inside and out with very little
money spent. For example If your
door is red, The American Home
points out that with clever ma
nipulating by you Of few pieces

For wives who are interested In
working outside the home, there are
several suggestions. With PAY for
PARTIES" by Polly Weaver, Made
moiselle tells of the adventures OF
four businesses run by several en-
terprising young women who make
q business Of helping small fry throw
parties. Ingenuity, energy and vi
tality seem to be the major require
ments, and, Author Weaver adds,
definite business sense.
As q full time or part time job,
as q partnership or as lone wolf
venture, the original investment Is
quite small. Actually sold by these
businesswomen are ideas (themes,
stunts, things dood, favors, chairs
and 50 forth, performers, and their
own presence to see that things run
smoothly. Government pamphlets
offering advice, suggestions and the
possible pitfalls OF small business
including pamphlets designed tor
veterans-can be secured by the
young businesswoman.

say about "Ethnic Dances" IN an

into these fabulously tender and
rich cookies.

Note, the recipe calls for superfine

However, you can use confectioners

creaming, Mrs. Heuck' uses q wooden

you need bake up only as much as
you want. Before rolling, however,
it's best to warm the dough in your
hands a minute or two to make 1t
malleable. Mrs. Heuck usually
works with small dabs at a time.
Roll out dough very thin and cut
with a 2-inch cookie cutter. Place
cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet

slow oven Is to 80 minutes or until
the edges begin to turn a light

place a small dab Of currant jelly

cookies and cover each with another

Frosting: Mix up enough confec-

BLESSING HOMES.
(From Mrs. W. II. s.. Arlington
Many folk may not be aware OF
the following privilege and custom
that I am quoting from my church
bulletin. ION a very few occasions
the rector has had the wonderful
privilege of visiting home to have
q brief Office Of blessing upon the
home and its inhabitants. The be-
stowal Of Gods blessing is the most
important possession we can bring
to our homes and merits the con-
sideration of those so concerned.
The rector will be glad to have this
office upon request"
Perhaps all churches do not have
this service but I'm sure any rector
would comply with such q request.
This Is not meant for new homes
only but for the new owner and
occupants of any age house.
