WOMAN’S PAGH' MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS. ‘Weight Chart. Just how much one ought to weigh 48 & question which is so_frequently asked by my readers that I have de- cided to publish the weight chart. ‘Though there is an average weight for girls and women of different ages the weight chart must not' be considered as an absolute standard for every one, despite the fact that it is used by phy- sicians and life insurance companies. ‘There are some girls and women who| 3 ft. have heavier muscles than others, and 4t s perfectly natural for such a one to weight more than a girl or woman of a lighter, daintier build with smaller bones and lighter muscles. In the last few years of dieting, slim- ness is earnestly sought after by many seekers after beauty. Nevertheless, un- derweight or sudden loss of weight is highly undesirable in girl or woman, and when it occurs without definite cause is always to be viewed with suspicion. Each individual has a standard weight, ‘which for his type may be regarded as | mormal. It is that weight at which he remains when in the best state of health. Suppose any sudden falling off | of weight occurs. No matter what the cause, the first thing to do is consult a physician for a thorough examination. Special attention should be paid to the state of the lungs, heart and alimentary capal. If organic disease is discovered the next step is to examine the diet. Per- trying to lose weight ynu have got into the habit of taking less f till in the end you are undernourished and are really going through a semi- starvation period. This very often hap- pens in the case of young girls and women who try to keep their weight below normal and acquire an unnatural slimness. Sometimes people who live alone feel that they cannot be bothered to take as much food as they should to_keep them in health and strength. In other cases, enough or too much food is being taken, and yet there is malnutrition. Sometimes chronic con- stipation, the t enemy of sedentary workers, is to blame. Attention to these things and a diet under your physician’s instructions will enable the digestion to_make a fresh start. PP Even when one feels quite well, how- ever, an effort should be made to keep the wight up to normal standards, re- gardless of fashjon’s dictates, in case a sudden {liness should make a call on your reserve energy, strength and vitality. _Your health should be con- sidered first, last and always.

Perhaps it could be hung in the bath room above the scales kept | there, so that members of the family can watch their weight. It is impossible to lay down hard and fast rules regarding weight and meas- urements for the various ages, because persons of the same age and height may vary 20 pounds in weight and both types be normal for their particular build. A large-boned woman with heavy muscles weighs more than a woman of the same age and height of lghter build. The same rule ap- plies to growing girls. A woman or girl who is long-waisted has generally a body that is long in proportion to her legs, and is heavy for her height. Whereas a short-waisted woman may have long legs, and has a tendency to be light in weight for her height. Seek your ideal weight—a few pounds omm{. oy 'fr::l..h \‘.ae ngura given in the e of may expected and a few pounds below or above the average is permissible, but any devia- tion greater than 10 to 15 pounds should make you question whether you are lines.

Remember that both undeb weight and excessive overweight are detrimental to health beauty. s | I has hurt baby's beelin's, but if her don’t stop cryin’ some uvver feller's beelin’s is goin’ to be hurt in a different . | place. | (Copyright, 1930.)

History, the long story of their service to mankind, gives them a halo of ro- mance and romance is beautiful. There are, too, some ugly words, and they, 00, | have a history, not so beautiful, If we would make our speech pleasant to the ears of others—and why speak other- | wise?—we need to select beautiful words. Listening to people talk gives us a great deal. In a few moments we decide whether or not we care to listen longer. ‘1{ the words of the story teller have no beauty for our ears we turn away. If they have beauty we gather in the words | that seem good and treasure them as our own. In that way boys and girls learn to choose fine words. Fine words are not necessarily big ones. To me some of the best ones are very short and simple sounding like man and woman and child; love and work and play; sweet and blithe and bonny; grand, majestic and noble. Those words have a music to my ears that no sub- stitute word can reach. When a slang word is used for any such word it hurts my ears and I close them promptly, being very choice of them. Reading poetry is a very good way to gather good words, beautiful word* I mean the poetry of the masters. You will find beautiful expressions used in the Psalms of the Bible, in Shakespeare, Tennyson, Shelly, Stevenson, Millay. The list is a long, long one, and the language stored in the poems a veritable treasure. Prose writers who love their work select fine words. Have you read Hud- son’s “Far Away and Long Ago”? Are not the words of the title beautiful? Say them over to 1Y«mrulf slowly and think what they call to your mind. I wish every boy and girl who can read an | eighth grade book would read that book of Hudson's and after he has read it through, go over it for the beauty of so0 fitting, And do you know Christopher Mor- | ley’s writing? Take any of his books and read it swiftly through for its de- lightful story and then again, go halt- ingly through, stopping at each bit of lovely prose to get its full value in word DAILY DIET RECIPE MAYONNAISE BUTTER.
