WOMAN'S PAGE. Fashion Decree BY MARY *“More material"—"Plus d'ampleur”— says Dame Fashion speaking to her followers here and in France, and it will be interesting to see in which coun- try this new edict is received most willingly., Few women, I am sure, wear short, scant skirts now for the | skirts and snug bodice. | 1 1 | A _NEW FROCK FROM CHERUIT| WHICH BEARS OUT THE PREDIC- | TION THAT THE NEW CLOTHES | WILL DEMAND MORE MATERIAL | THAN THE OLD.

As some one remarked the other day, women'’s legs are all pretty much alike and the public has become perfectly used to seeing them. But women do cling tenaciously to the short, scant skirts because they find them comfort- able and feel more youthful and less dowdy when wearing them. | It is very hard to dance vour best in a period frock 5 yards round the hem and almost down to the ankles s Longer Skirts MARSHALL. material, T am sure we—or rather the costumers and designers who make the {trocks for the period plays that gain : popularity—will have the stage to thank |or to blame for the change.

And if you marry him. not loving him, he's due for a heartbreak sooner or later anyhow. It may come at a time when he’s not strong enough to stand fit.

The part that is being massaged should be relaxed. Proceed up the arm to the shoulder With kneading and stroking movements. Manipulate the other arm in the same way. Then take each foot and leg in turn. The gen- eral direction of the massage should be from the extremitics toward the heart. Massage the trunk and neck muscles with a rotary, kneading motion. A good substitute for body massage is a hard rubdown with a coarse, dry towel. The massage, however, performed by a sec- ond person, is more restful and is espe- f’nlly beneficial to people who are phys- ically below par. The person who suffers from cold hands and feet very often is of a nerv- ous temperament. Nervousness that ex- presses itself in worry and mental res lessness Interferes with a good circula: tlon just as effectively as lack of exer- cise or wearing tight clothing would do. Students and other mental workers also have poor circulations frequently be- cause they neglect exercise. forgetting that they have hodies as well as minds. | They become so much, interested in using their brains that they overlook the necessity of using their muscles.
