ever you wish to call it. has been
taken out of the invalid class.
For a long time, there have been
supports especially designed for
various needs and defects.
Actually girdle should apply
the same kind of support which
good muscles do. The pressure
should start at the groins and
work upward. OF course, I think
you should develop your muscles,
but most women do not do this,
and even when they do, a cor
rectly fitted foundation is an aid.
Take abdominal exercises and
do not buy your foundation gar
ments in a "hit and miss" fash
ion. For the first time, so far
as I know, X-ray has been used
to discover just how external sup
port affects internal organs.
Be careful in the choice of your
girdle or corset or foundation.
Your health. as well as your sill
houette, may be affected. If you
can take advantage of those
houses which give you individual
design, do so.
If you should like to develop
your own natural girdle a bit, send
"a stamped, self-addreSsed enve-
lope, with your request for my
leaf1et No. 2, Abdominal Exer-
cises," to Josephine Lowman in
care of The Evening Star.

The girdle or foundation gar
ment you buy is much more i'm
portant than most women realize.
1t is easy and convenient to dash
into a store and purchase a little
1895 or $5.95 model. which holds
the rear tenders in a bit, and
somewhat constrains the pro-
truding abdomen and lessons the
wobble! Perhaps you take your
girdle buying a little more seri-
ously and have one fitted to you.
OF course, you should do this!
Even then, the garment is not
actually designed to your individ-
ual figure. your figure eccentrici-
ties, or your individual measure
mentS. Figures are as varied as
f1ngerprints!
Gone are the days when you
expect to have your ribs punched
by lnf1exible stays; when you are
afraid to move naturally because
you will burst either the girdle
or something vital that belongs to
you! 1t would be wonderful if
we could all have girdles made to
order! That is a bit more ex-
pensive, but it would pay out in
beauty and in health and it is not
prohibitive to many women.

IDENTIFYING HOUSE.

from Mrs. T. w. M, BeltSUille. j
To j. c. W., jr., regarding the
home of the director of the Belts
vile Research Center, it is one of
seven Snowdens mansions built
for members of the family.
The name is Walnut Range"
and it was built about 1785 by Col.
John Carlyle Herbert, who mar
ried Mary Ann Snowden (daugh-
ter of Thomas Snowden of Mont
pelier. Col. Herbert was from
Virginia and his home there was
called walnut Grange" and pos
sibly he just called his home here
after his Virginia home, but this
farm was purchased by Richard
Hall about 1859 and he changed
the name to Walnut Range, be-
cause of the many walnut trees.
The United States Government
purchased the farm in 1910. The
walls are 18 inches thick. Part
of the house was destroyed by
fire. 1t was once called the But
terf1y House, due to its shape.
I believe these are the names
of SnoWden homes around Laurel,
Birmingham Manor, Fairland
Manor. Snowden Hall 1785, Mont
pelier 1740, Snow Hill 1786,

"Who Gets the Best Jobs in
Your TOWN." asks the Woman's
Home Companion, in an article by
Janet Letter, dean of women of
the New York Institute of Applied
Arts and Sciences. Those who
have had specialized training in a
field where there is a demand for
personnel, is her reply, as she goes
on to describe New York States
new program.
Five institutes of arts and sci
ences-or state techs" as they
are usually called-have been set
up as part of the new State Uni
versity of New York. These
schools provide two years of free
technical education for high
school graduates, but they are not
Junior colleges in the ordinary
sense of the word nor merely vo-
cational school. Any resident of
New York State with high school
diploma may apply for admission
Age is no barrier, and although
the majority of students accepted
are recent high school graduates.
some are as old as 60.
Each applicant is carefully
screened, with a series of aptitude
tests and personal interviews
lasting seven hours. The program
is planned to provide the answer
to the dilemma of the many stu
dents whose high schools degrees
are not enough to guarantee a
good living with a future.
Training in IL occupations
in all is offered, including course
in hotel management, drafting,
dental hygiene, retail distribution,
executive assisting, training as a
chef and so forth.
This magazine also explores
"The Truth About Nervous Break
downs" in an article by Murray
Campbell that is a straightforward
explanation of this subject in a
layman's language. What psy-
chiatrists and psychiatric treat
ment are really like. what it will
cost one and how one can go about
locating a psychiatrist are clearly
discussed.
Don't Let the Rules Brighten
YOU" declares Mrs. Arson Howe
Smith in House Beautiful, and
goes on to explain that exhibiting
ones flower arrangements in a
show can prove means of learn
ing more effective arranging. De-
sign, color harmony. distinction
condition of flowers and relation
to container are the features con-
sidered by the judges. Her elabo-

HAMMOCK FOR BABY.
(From Mrs. F. D., WaShington)
We just got foam mattress in
October and think it's wonderful.
I've never been bothered with the
bedding slipping out f.-ld c.
tainly don't find it too soft.
However, since then I've seen
ads for foam mattresses with a
Upper around one end, which ours
doesn't have, but which seems
like a good idea for either clean
ing the mattress or the cover.
Quite a while ago some one
asked about travelling with baby.
I imagine the inquiry was an
sWered, but in case some one else
is interested I thought I would tell
about the hammock we secured at
one of the auto supply stores,
though I imagine other stores
carry them by now.
It was a canvas hammock which
hooked on the bottom of the VIM
dows and stretched across the back
of the car. We used ours in a
two-door (club coupe) and also
in a four-door sedan. 1t can be
used by hooking on chairs, too,
though we've never used ours that
way.
We went to Missouri from D. c..
when our baby was 3 months old
and We couldn't have done without
it. 1t was safe and comfortable
for her to sleep in and convenient
for changing diapers. We have
made round trips for the past
three years and she is still able
to use it when she needs a nap
or gets tired of sitting on long
trips.
