FEATURES, The interest that has been aroused| by the articles on making money at home indicates that the subject a live one for women.

This is the business end, and making money with homemade articles is as much of & business proposition as any com- mercial venture. The commercial term | for this work is known as “marketing | one’s wares.’ In commerce there are no hard and fast rules governing the disposal of | goods for profit. Each individual con- cern has its own problems, and it is in| mastery of them that success is| attained. The home-maker is inclined | to feel that business men have some royal road to success. Ask any man who is head of a concern or any travel. ing salesman, bond salesman, etc. if he finds the way paved or smoothed | for him as he tries to market his wares. Does he find it easy to dispose of his goods at a satisfactory profit? Any one of them would believe you knew | nothing of business, even to ask such! questions. Business is a constant struggle to ereate and hold the market for your output. The home-maker :.1d the business men have this in common. But don't be discouraged. There are ways and means. - ‘There are some general rules that can be set down. For one thing, a person must know there is a market for what he (or she) has to sell, or feel an assurance that she can create a de- mand for something new or better ‘which she has to offer. This is a funda- lknema.l principle of “knowing the mar- et.” Women must consider this aspect, Selling of Home-Made Articles BY LYDIA LE BAR chilled cup cu: | trades is apt to be master of none. | you can “do almost anything” in what | was once termed “woman's work,” you have a wide field for choice of what to baby erbers Strained Vegetables WALKER. for without having a market wanting what you have to sell or being able to make a demand for your woman cannot expect to succeed any things a ore than a man.

Exercise for Hips. Dear Miss Leeds—(1) How can T re- duce my hips and calves? My hips measure 38 inches, calves 14 and my waist is 26. and my bust 33 inches. Don't you think my hips and calves need trimming down somewhat? I work in an office and do not take any active exercise whatever, but just walk- ing a few blocks at lunch time. (2) I ihave gray eyes, brown hair and a me- dium complexion. What colors may I ‘wear? SOMEBODY'S STENOG. . Answer—You need to take more active exercise, my dear, if you are sitting at a desk all the day. In a few years' time you will not be able to trim down the excess fat that is accumulating around those hips and legs. It is not such an effort to take from 10 to minutes every morning for setting-up reises and special hip-reducing exes In addition to the regular ercises you should plan to take a b walk every day and spend ohe or two evenings at & swimming pool or in a ncing class or gymnasium. In this way you can keep fit d trim down those excess pads of fat that seem to be the price a sedentary worker pays unless she makes & special effort to keep them at bay. Hip-reducing exer- cises include high kicking, rolling, leg raising sideways, backward and for- ward both while standing and in a supine position on the floor. Heel-rais- ing exercises are good for the calves. Raise on your toes and bend your knees to a full squatting position. Rise and repeat 10 to 20 times. Swimming, dancing and walking are also excellent for you. You should have my leaflets giving the exercises that you need, but I have not the space to reprint them fully at this time. Inclose ® self-ad- dressed, stamped envelope and ask for them when you write again. (2) Blues in soft tones are very becoming. You may also wear flesh, dull rose, dark greens, bronze, plum, dahlia, dull yel- low, warm tans and browns, dark and light violet, pearl gray with touches of coral, black if relleved with bright trimming.

Shall Girls Listen to Their Parents When They Advise Against Marriage? ])EAR MISS DIX: We are two young women very much in love with two young men who are urging us to elope with them. We love our parents and do not want to be yngrateful to them, but they oppose our marrying these young men. We are both of age, but do not seem able to decide what to do Can you please help us? GENE AND BETTY. Answer. T can help you & lot if you will only take my advice not to marry these young men, Apparently you are not in love with these boys, because if you were you would not be undeciced in your own mind about what to do. You would know that there was just one thing in the world that you were bound to do, and that you wanted fo do above everything else, and that was to marry them. As long as there is any question at all in a girl's mind about whether she loves a man or not, the answer #s “No."” The trouble with you is that you are in love with love, and you are so ious to find the hero of your girlish dreams that you are likely to mistake sort of commonplace chap for your Prince Charming. There is something very pitiful aboul a young girl's eagerness to love and be loved. She is 5o surcharged with sentiment and romance that she has to bestow on some youth that she is like a child with a dollar in its pocket. It has to spend it, and nine times out of ten it throws it away on something that it doesn’t even want. That is the way with a young girl who marries the first man who comes along and then spends the balance of her life regretting it. Don't make this mistake, girls. Wait until some man appears on the scene whom you feel you will die if you don't get, and then consider whether he is worth the price you pay when you give him your heart. Another thing that appeals to you is the adventure of an elopement. You think 1t is romantic and daring. Look at it again and see how sordid and underhanded it is. The men who elope with girls are practically always under in the full sight o Generally they don’t even make enough to support. their wiv their little werld. You have good, kind parents who love you and whom you love. Don't you think you are giving them a pretty rotten deal by running off with men of whom they disapprove, and don't you think you will be giving them a still rottener deal if you force on them sons-in-law whom they will probably have to take care of? Most. young people consider that their parents have no right to any say-so in their marriages, but considering that papa always has to foot, the bill for an un- successful marriage of one of his children, 1t looks to me as if his children might well listen to his volce. Occasionally, of course, parents may be prejudiced or unreasonable. Then, after a girl is of age, she has a right to use her own judgment, but when father objects to a youth because of his heredity, or because he drinks too much, or because he never keeps a steady job, or because he has a violent temper, or be- cause he is generally disliked by men, a girl does well to take her father’s judg- ment on him and refuse to elope with him. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright, 1930.) I dress my hair now? (2) I have dark blue eyes, olive complexion and black hair, What are my best colors? MISS WINIFRED S. Answer—A very good way to make hair like yours appear neater until it is longer is to wear a silk bandeau or a ribbon around the head. Part the hair on one side with long bangs that show below the bandeau. Let a lock of hair curl forward in front of each ear. The band will hide the short ends of back hair. When the hair becomes long enough, fold it over and pin it flat against your head. Or you may curl the ends upward in round curls and arrange them in two or more rows at the nape of the neck.
