Why Grow Old?
Be Svelte for Slim Skirts
By Josephine Lowmon

Are your hips in shape for the
pencil slim skirts which are SO
much the vogue? Earlier this fall
gave you hip slimming exercises
to get you in shape for the fall
fashion forecasts. In case you
did not take these seriously I am
going to repeat again today be-
cause by now, you probably know
what I meant tif you have tried
to get any of the slim skirts over
the bulgeD. Nothing looks fun
nier than a fat woman in a
skinny skirt! If you observe the
comics you will find that this is
regulation costuming.
Many times women are not
overweight but do have fatty de-
posits on the hips. If so, you can
exercise them away. If you are
really in a bad way so far as hips
and tummy are concerned. you
would do well to use a regular
routine. However. as temporary
measure, I am giving you another
exercise today.
This exercise is fun to do. Lie
on the floor on your back, with
your legs straight and your arms
resting on the floor overhead.
Raise the trunk and touch the

Fashion Notes

According to Mrs. George ".
Denny, jr., who travelled round
the-world with the World Town
Hall Seminar group, you can't
miss II you include red in your
wardrobe plans. She found that
red went with everything In her
wardrobe. Since the group ira
yeled extensively in the Near and
Far East, Mrs. Denny also discov-
cred that cottons are the best
bet there. A simple cotton frock
with jacket is practically an in
dispensible item. For her travel
suit. Mrs. Denny used a cotton
tweed fabric. Accessories she
limited to pearls. These she used
for day and evening with great
success. While in Paris she Wis
tied the Dior atelier. And as she
put it, II couldn't resist buying q
navy faille dress" She explained
her purchase away by saying that
it was O. year-'round dress, ex-
tremely simple, and a real
love-"
A new makeup is causing quite
q commotion in Paris right now.
It is said that this new Partisan
makeup magnifies the eyes ire
mendously. According to Jean
Despres Of Coty, the new way Of
making up is still the closely
guarded secret Of a very few Of
the most chic women In Paris
According to Mr.. Despres the new
eye-enlarging makeup is some
what reminiscent of the effect you
see IN Egyptian drawings Of eyes.

From Mrs. w. H. D., Barstow.J

house break a toy Boston terrier.
We have a thoroughbred fox
terrier: we got her when she was
two months old. We have used
every method in the dog book.
She is walked around big lawn,
allowed to smell all the bushes,
yet she will come in from a walk
and sit down on the porch in spite
of whipping with rolled papers,
and other methods she seems to
fail to understand.
She has a good disposition. she
is sharp. and very cute. But at
five months, am at a loss. Can
any one suggest what might help
the situation?

Iron, Mrs. A. o. M, WASHINGTON
I want to express my sincere
thanks to the many kind readers
who sent in their recipes for
stretching butter. and to give a
hint that might help someone.
I used homogenized milk by &C
cident in stretching butter, and
it was very unsatisfactory. Per-
haps did something wrong, but
I followed the directions exactly,
as to having milk at room tempera-
ture, amount of gelatine, salt, etc.
The mixture did not combine as it
should. Anyway, I shall try the
other recipes also given, such as
using one half pound Of mar
garine with a pound of butter, also
using milk only, whipped into the
butter. Thanks again.
