Remain_in this position until you count 15, then come to erect position before putting your heels down. Do this three to six times. Dancing Healthful. Tt has been proved tha ph slque can be improved by observing certain prineiples in dancing and that the physical deformities and irregu- larities of figure, which are so often due to our general slackness of de- portment and the attitude we gen- erally assume in our daily work, can he remedied by the right kind of dancing. There are a few precautions to ob- serve. For instance, the girl who| dances on several eveninzs eve week must be careful to take special care of her feet and ankles. Dancing is generally beneficial to the ankles and keeps them slim and supple, but the feet are apt to become hot and | tired, especially when a girl has to stand or walk for several hours dur- ing the d When this is the case it is advisable to dip the fingers in a little methylated spirits and ta massage the feet and ankles with it half an hour before dressing for the dance. Before puttinz on the stoc ings dust the feet with taleum horle powder, shaking a little the foot of the stockir Corns and callouses can 1 ed by soaking the feet for minutes at night in hot which a_handful of salt added. Such a foot bath is very freshing, if given before the feet massaged with the methylated spirits. If your face, neck first sponged with a little warm milk before ordinary face powder is ap- plied, it will be found to adhere more closely to the skin, and there will be less chance of the face appearing shiny during the evening. If your hands are inclined to be- come moist, it is an excellent plan to sponge them with very hot water, | to which a few drops of toilet vinegar | have been added, then rub the palms lightly with finely powdered .orris root. on hips, or | into prevent Be Interested and Smile. ! A bored expression is one of th most unbecoming thut any girl's face | can assume. Why? Simply because | she will be an o ject to instil de-| pression of spirits in those who look at her, and people do not admire any thing that depresses them. The plainest face becomes attractive when it 1s antmated and radiates cheerful- ness. It is a real tonic. The girl who | is keenly alive and in love with life who has a genuine interest to s her, will keep her churm :ndefinitely. | Don't let the corners of your mouth | droop. If you do, vou will make yourself 1ook years older and plainer, and those drooping corners will, in a very short time, draw the muscies of your face downward and cause the much dreaded wrinkles which run from nose to mouth. Every time you * feel the corners of your mouth droop- ing, smile, not enough to show vour teeth, but just that little lurking smile which raises the muscles of vour mouth and cheeks.

No wise gother allows her daugh- ter to make“friends indiscriminately, because she knows what good or what evil so-called friends can do. This is also true of books, those friends one picks up at will and which make one forget worry for a while, or sickness or sorrow. Their influence, although Insidious and difficult to t e, is great, as mothers and teachers can testify. Mo mothers take care that no coarse book or magazine falls into their daughters’ hands, but they arel not sufficiently aware of the harm | he trushy novel does, even though it ends by the villain's downfall and he reward of the just. Often a mother has complained of a grewing daughter's intractableness, her sulki- ness, her idleness at home, and at times her almost hostlle attitude. The girl takes the printed word in the t hy movel for truth, nd in comparison with the exciting adven- tures which fill the life of the heroine of the novel home life made up of helping mother and getting lessons seems very dull. If a girl has been reading a senti- mental book, it is best to talk it over tactfully with her without scoffing. Thus her sensitiveness will not be hurt. She should be carefully told how different things in reality, how ridiculous a man and woman would be if they behaved in real life as they do in sensational novels, not the best novels, and she should be shown how a great writer of fiction ha treated the subject. In this way a girl’s good sense is developed and an impetus given to her future happiness. Business Girl With Ideas. Originality is one of the most highly prized qualities in business and one of the rarest, but it can be cultivated. Often the most profitable ideas are improvements to the existing plans or organizations, short cuts that save hundreds or thousands of dollars a year In costs, or methods that increase productive ¢ is where the girl who studies her position with en- thusiasm will finally score. The modern business man always welcomes practical suggestions. New ideas are essential to progressive or- tions. No business is ever per- ew and quicker ways of doing things are constantly being devised by people who have trained themselves to_think. The girl who is keenly interested in her work will often be able to suggest useful economies. A slight saving in stationery, for instance, may represent a cumulative economy 'of hundreds of dollars a year in a big organization, and an emplove who puts forward such a suggestion is immediately rated higher and marked for promotion when the opportunity occurs. more specific the suggestion, the more certain it is that it will re. celve serious. consideration. Even if the idea is not practical or cannot be adopted for other reasons, the mere fact that a girl is alive to the interests of the firm carries weight. “PUZZLICKS” Puzzle-Limericks.

In order to have a digestible com- bination of cheese and tomato suit- le for children (not under school age) a little care is necessary. Use American cheese that is dry enough to grate. Strain the tomato juice and melt the cheese, a spoon at a time in the hot strained juice. This makes a smooth and perfectly blend- ed sauce and when spread on toast is sufficlently nourishing to consti- tute the chief dish of the meal. Children of three or four may have cheese prepared in this way if stirred into hot milk. When plan- ning the cheese and tomato toast for older children and grownups it is well to reserve a little of the juice to make a speclal cheese toast for the runabout. A good proportion for the cheese and hot liquid whether milk or tomato juice is two. tablespoons of grated cheese for_each cup. | i More Shine That's Solarine, the easy, quick and safe polish that women all over the world have used for genera- tions, Buy acaato- day at your grocer, Jfor Sore Skin THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

When the old woman heard that Jason was going to lolchos to regain his father's throne she begged him to take her on his back and carry her across the turbulent river. .| “But, good mother,” Jason cried; “the river is exceedingly boisterous, I would gladly help you if I could, but I doubt if I am strong enough. We should be both swept away.” Then,” said she very scornfully, “nelther are you strong enough to pull King Pelius off his throne!” And the old woman took up her staff and | started to enter the raging torrent by herself.

HOME NOTES BY JE WRI There is great allure for lovers of old-fashioned furniture in a four-post bed of this type with its traditional tester and valance. Although its val- ue {s purely decorative it nevertheless makes a bedroom seem very quaint and cozy. The hangings for such a bed may be of many material: For the simple room there are muslin, dotted swi frilled net, chirtz, calico and other printed fabrics; for the more elabo- rate room such fabrics as taffeta, sat- In, damask or some of the new sunfast materials. This particular bed has a tester, top valance and spread of crimson and cream toile de jouy, while the lower valance is plain, cream-colored chintz. The crimson is repeated in the lamp base and dressing_table accessories of ruby glassware and in the braided rag mats on the floor. (Copsright, 1925.) Cottage Pudding.

Seven Ways to Keep a Husband $] AM soing to be married next month.” said a girl to me the other day, and I want to be a good wife, and, not-only do my duty in that station ;.;t }:fe to which I have been pleased to call myself, but 1o add a few thrills o it. I have listened-in ‘on the conversation of ladies who have ver weddings, the consensus of opinion seems to be that the one sure way to retain a husband's affection is to feed him and starve yourself. I can't believe, however, that every man’s appetite i8 his god or that he finds a feminine rack of bones perennially fascinating. There must be more to being a good wife than being a good cook and retaining your girlish figure. So what shall I do to keep the man I marry thanking his lucky stars llhtml {10 got me for a wife and looking upon me as an asset instead of a otal los: “\Whenes celebrated thy “eeding the brute is good advice that is not to be despised,” T responded. “Love has to be nourished on beefsteaks as well as romance. When a man is hungry he is thinking about the state of his stomach and not of his heart. “Believe me, many a bride's cooking has changed love's young dream into a nightmare, and the first time millions of young husbands have asked themselves, ‘Why did I do it? was when they rose up from a dinner of overdone meat and underdone bread and watery vegetables. 3 “Nor has the wife the right to blame the husband for this or scorn him for being too material. She has fallen down on her part of the matrimonial bargain, which was making a comfortable home for him, and she would have an equal disgust for him if he was an incompetent who could not make enough money to provide the food and pay for the upkeep of the home. Therefore, the first item in being a good wife 15 to be a good housekeeper. C¢THE next item is to keep on cutting balt. Don't deceive yourself into thinking that because you have captured your man he will stay captive. It is a_job that has to be done over again every morning. “You know the arts and wiles with which you lured him into matrimony. You recall the pretty dresses you wore, the glad, sweet smile with which you met him: the pleasure you showed you took in his society. “A man doesn’t put on blinders when he gets married.. Hesstill has an eye out for a pretty woman in a gay frock, and he likes to feel that his wife still cares enough for him to want to make herself attractive to him and that his coming home is the big event of the day to her. “Item three in being a good wife is to be a loving wife. Women are always talking about being heartshungry and seem to think that it is an exclusively feminine complaint, but there are just as many men starving for affection as there are women. Don’t expect your husband to take it for granted that you still love him because you haven't applied for a divorce. Tell him so. Give him a kiss now and then that isn't just a peck on the cheek. “But love with discretion. Don't smother your husband with afle(‘flnr:. Don't surfeit him on it. Keep your love as a sweetener for matrimony. Don't make it the whole diet. Remember that the most-loved husband in the world sald: ‘Feed me with apples, stay :ne.vrlih :lugun!!, for I am sick of love. /THE fourth item in belng a good wife is not to expect the impossible of vour husband. Don't demand that he be a demi-god. Accept him as a poor, faulty human being, even as you are. Don’t have hysterics cvery time he topples off of the pedestal on which You have placed him. Help him up, dust him off and give him a seat beside you. Don't and u his man “Humor him in his funny little ways. Sidestep his little prejudices. argue with him when vour opinions clash. Laugh at his blunde; | sympathize with him when he makes mistakes, and he will make confidant and tell you the truth, which is the finest tribute that an ever pays his wife. i < to be -iative. When the average “Item five in being a good wife is to be appreciative. W v man gets“murried he sells himself into bondage to his family. The remainder of his life he spends tofling to keep his wife and children =oft and safe. And whether all of this work and sacrifice {s worth the price and is a glorious reward depends altogether on his wife's attitude. i very. ts him 5 , takes it as nothing but her due, it is slavery. But if she le see e\'lerr;'h;a;inhe\‘ery way that she thinks that he is the finest and noblest tman that ever lived, and that no be-medaled warrior has anything on him in heroism. it makes it all worth while and causes him to feel that being a husband and father is the finest career on earth. = ix in belng a good wife is to Keep yourself good-natured. Thnu:“:e?ousn;m\y"s all Enher virtues, yet are a high-tempered virago or a nagger, vou will be a failure as a wife and your husband will curse the day he marrled you. “Item seven is to be a good sport.

Over here in Burope people are con- tinually commenting on the fact that while American women are, as a rule, | much prettier than BEuropeans, they age muclt more quickly and so have less time to enjoy their beauty. Many are the reasons given there- for. Some it's the steam heat; the p others the lack of outdoor exercise, | ete. By far the most sensible expla tion I've yet heard given was t lack of sleep brought on many of the wrinkles and lines and gray hairs that rob a woman of her most precious possession—youthful beauty. And ft's | probably too true that you all need a good lecture on the subject. No, there is no intention on Mimi's part of telling you that you must giv up your partles and your dates and | vour movie nights. But even the most widely popular girl in the world has a _couple of | evenings a week to herself and proh- ably two other evenings during which | she has quict ds t is to say, there {s nothing more exciting on the | program than an early movie or a caller who ate i€ he knows what's what. Well, then, what does the average girl do with these three or four | avenings when she might reasonably be expected to get to bed at a decent hour? She arrives home from the movie at 10:30, says good-night to the escort, and meanders fnto the house, desiring | food After a leisurely and protracted meul of bread and cheese, by which time it is 11:15, she goes up to be and decides that since it's still go ear she might as well give her “hair 10-minute brushing, her skin a 1 minute face message and her nails a4 10-minute polish. After all this she wonders if it wouldn't be better 1o decide now on which dress she'll wear for tomorrow’s dance—and she goes carefully through her wardrobe, examining each dress critically. By the time she’s made up her mind to get into bed, it's easily 1, and the much-needed beauty sleep has been lost, while she was just fussing. On the evenings when she has no date at all she picks up a book and becomes so engrossed in it that she simply can't lay it down until it's way past 12. And, woof, another good dose of beauty sleep has heen wasted.
