Every woman does not belleve In a variety of designs and colors in the blouses that are to go With her suit. She wants many for the sake of cleanliness and different fabrica for the sake of amusement. But if she likes white or biege, stripes or polka-dots, she is apt to make up four or a half dozen blouses in the one color and design. She changes the fabric in each.

More About Reducing. The last time we were discussing reduction we said that the body ac- quired 1in amount of energy every day in the form of food. Italso Jost & éertain amount of energy ¢ through work and exercise. 1f it acquires 1 7 it expends the curplus energ ymes fat. This is as simpla and absolute a rula as the fact that two and two make four, and there are no exceptions. That is why it is always possible to reduce either by eating less or by working more. This brings us to the problem of how much to eat and what. There are some people who turn food into fiesh quite easily, and others iwho can eat the same amount of the same sort of food and stay thin, but this is not an exception to the rule that if you cut less you must reduce. r if the = woman who grows fat on a certain s, 1f amount a day eats le she exer- cises as much she will reduce hecause che will be consuming more than she | The woman who would is gaining. etay thin on the diet that makes the | fat woman fatter must eat more if possible, and if not must eat a dif- gerent type of food.

For instance, the professor's wife, who is planning a little after- noon spread for some of her hus- band’s students who have met at his house, should take into consideration the proverbfal hungriness of stu- dents, the fact that they usually spend considerable time in outdoor exercise, and that dormitory fare is seldom overabundant. Her plans should be different from what they would be were she serving refresh- ments to the ladies of the sewing cir- cle who had met at, her house. Unless you know the taste of your guests, it is better always to have a choice of beverages; that is if you are serving tea, it is a good plan to have a little hot chocolate ready, so that any who do not take tea may select the chocolate. In warm weather you might have grape juice for those wro do not like lemonade. Various sweet sandwiches may be devised that aro a pleasant alterna- |tive fo= cake, and do not take so {long in preparation. If you can buy i good bakers' bread, the task is sfm- ple. Many of these are put together {with slices of whole wheat or gra- ham bread. One good mixture is made by mixing together finely chopped walnut meats and scraped maple sugar.

Wherever ed women have foregather- result of ed. one sees the and one hears more gossip about the variety of blouses than for several years. A young girl created enthusiasm by wearing a crepe georgette blouse which had a lace panel down the front that hung longer than the back. It was round in the neck, it had full slecves that were left open at the back. but the front was held down to the wrist by a deep, tight cuff of the lace. This was worn with a biege crepe de chine skirt, a plain skirt with slight gathers across the hips and back. Another young woman almond green georgette crepe with lattice work trimming of the ma- terial, arranged in the fashion to which France paid so much attention Jast summer. This lattice work is made from strips of the fabric. It wears an forms = shallow yoke. leaving the ck bare; it also edges the sleeves and the flaring hem. There is a girdle of green ribbon tled in a loose bow in the front. Still another blouse of the kind that turns the skirt into a costume is of white crepe de chine with an em- broidery design of the material. There are two novelties in this blouse, both of which are worth copying. One is the full peplum gathered to a thick cord that goes ahont the hips. which finishes the upper part of blouse. The other'nov- elty is the use of narrow picot rib- bon which is wused across the showlders to end as a cravat and about the wrists as a way of holding down the wide sleeves.

The savant, if such he was, who first coined that platitude about the man being as old as his arteries was all wrong. The arterles are as old as the man. And old age is not a ques- tion of years. It is a state of mind. Any one who ever investigates old age or studles shining examples of persons who have long escaped it knows that old age Is a state of mind Honestly, I feel almost foolish about this somersaulting business. It does seem so childish, doesn’t it? It does— if you are an old one. Young folks are discovering day after day that it isn't foolish at all, In practice. They are learning that it 1s rather foolish not to indulge in a few rolls every day. Tt appears that it is possible, within reasonable limitations, as I am careful to say, to reverse the proc- ess to some degree—that is, while the child somersaults because he feels the joy of living, the dignified adult may recover some of the joy of living by somersaulting every day.
