OTHING is pleasanter for a con- scientious author, who for years / has been turning out stuff that nobody reads, than to hit on a - subject which must infallibly rivet the attention of one and all from the opening sentence. It is with gusto, not un- mixed with vim, that I embark on this little effort, for I know that the title alone is enough $0 make you read what I have written. Nobedy can ignore an article on “How To Reduce,” for nowadays everybody is reducing. In a thousand restaurants a thousand lunchers are refusing potatoes with every evidence of horror, and many a prudent spender, who, in & mad moment, has invited one of the per- 1 of the chorus to sup with him, is mlng freely once more as the fair guest ganounces that all she is allowed to take is # cracker and a glass of water, The first thing every reducer must realize is the deadliness of proteids. Or is it phos- ? That is the worst of writing this rm. of article without a doctor at one’s elbow. am absolutely solid on the point that there §s something which the patient must avoid, but I can’'t remember what it is. I seem to fecollect some one saying something about earbohydrates. Perhaps that was it. At any rate, it is best to be on the safe side, so when #he waiter sidles to your chair and murmurs that the carbohydrates are very nice today, better refuse them. A 8 regards proteids, I am not so certain. It is essential either to take them or not %o take them—I cannot recall which. A simple method of solving the difficulty would be to invite to dinner some relative of little value— some uncle or aunt who would not be missed, if anything went wrong—give him some proteids and watch the result. If he secms to thrive on them, all right; go ahead. If, how- ever, he turns blue and expires in his tracks, will know that they are to be avoided. in nearly every other crisis in life, common sense will pull you through. There is one point, in connection with this matter of reducing, which the young reader would do well to consider. Too many people nowadays, on finding themselves a trifle over- weight, start without a second thought to rid »@hemselves of the superabundance of tissue, The prudent man, however, will pause and weigh the matter in all its aspects. The ques- tion which every young man must solve is whether he would rather take off a few pounds #&nd be slim, or whether it would not be better to feed up a bit and get stout enough to get slapsticked in the movies. We will arsume—or else it will be impossible fo continue this article—that, after pondering earnestly. you have decided to abandon the hope of an artistic career with the movies and to be slim. Very well, every article on the “Bubject which I have ever read has opened with a scries of specimen menus for reducers, I cannot do better than to follow the same method. Breakfast menu: Don't take any . Nothing but. . Third son of Jacob. . Belief in existence of spirit as distinct from matter. 97. Yield. 98. Idler. breakfast, Lunch menu: menu: Cut out dinner. Supper menu: Same as lunch. (Note: Should you become hungry during the night, go to sleep again.) Tl-ll question of exercise is inseparably con- nected with the subject of reducing. I append a few simple hints. Morning: Wind your watch. Afternoon: Read the base ball bulletins. Evening: Whistle for a taxi. Night: Undress. (Note: Should you be too fatigued by nightfall to do this, put your pajamas on over your clothes.) Most experts on the subject of reducing insist on plenty of air. The mistake they make, in Avoid lunch. Dinner why not to the same kind of food? At costs monotony must be avoided in these or the patient becomes peeved and bored abandons the course. We must have va- I append a few simple airs which are the reach of the humblest purse. Subway or street car: This fine, bracing tmosphere may be obtained all over the city the very reasonable cost of 5 cents a breath. is best to take it curing the rush hour, as then has a solidity of punch which it lacks less congested periods. Office: There are few more sustaining airs than that of a good, stuffy, overheated office. This atmosphere has the additional advantage in these days of the high cost of living that you are paid to breathe it, Apartment: Cost, nil, being included in rent. If the smallest member of a midget troupe inhaled these airs resolutely for a day or two, you would not be able to see him at all. The broad principle of reducing, as any doctor will tell you, is to adopt a system which will alter as little as possible your normal method of living. That is where most systems fail. They start off in a genial, spacious way by saying, “Eat and drink all that you want,” and then, just as you are reaching out for the menu, they add, “except—" and reel off a long list of all the things which you would rather be dead than do without. It occurs to me that I have been a little severe on the patient in my selection of menus. I accord- ingly append an alternative list, which will be found more appetizing. Breakfast: Steak, chops, boiled eggs, fried eggs, shirred eggs, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, muffins. Lunch: All kinds of soups, all kinds of fish, all kinds of meat, all kinds of dessert. Dinner: Start at top of bill of fare and go on as long as you can. Supper: Lobster, crab meat, strawberry sho:tcake, and a nut sundae. During the night: Welsh rarebit. BUT what’s the use of taking this reducing business too seriously? As nobody ever continues any system of reducing for more than a day, it makes no earthly difference what you take or don't take.

Herring, is doing excellent work in arranging for this and other exhibitions and, most lately, in providing free, both for students and others interested, a series of lectures on art by local authorities. A ONE-MAN exhibition of oil paintings, water colors and drawings by Natalie Hays Hammond, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hays Hammond of this city, will open at the International Art Center of the Roerich Museum, New York, tomorrow, December 1, to continue through the 15th. . Miss Hammond has achieved considerable success in her work in this country as well as in Europe. In 1927 she was the youngest ex- hibiting artist of the Royal Miniature Society in London, and after her second exhibit there in 1928 she won the much coveted title of as- sociate of that society. In Paris, Miss Ham- mond’s work also met with success, creating interest when shown, and certain examples be- ing acquired by the French gowernment. Miss Hammond was commissioned by Mr. Nazimova to design settings and costumes for her one- act play, “India,” and in 1928 she also designed the costumes, it will be remembered, for the bicentenary pageant of St. John’s College, An-_ napolis. Miss Hammond studied at the Master In- stitute of the Roerich Museum, and also under Sergei Soudekine, a Russian. The collection to be exhibited in New York will include 70 canvases. DURING the past six years the Carnegie Corporation of New York has appropriated a total of $2,300,000 to its program in the arts which began with the report upon the “Place of the Arts in American Life,” issued in 1924, According to the annual report just published, there is probability that this program will see further expansion in the immediate future. It is the habit of the Carnegie Corporation to work through other organizations rather than to set up organizations of its own. In the field of the fine arts instrumentalities of this sort capable of rendering the desired co-operative service have not been numerous. To quote from the report: “The past year, however, has wit- nessed thres important changes which may modify the whole situation in this regard. The acceptance of Frederic A, Whiting, for 17 years director of the Cleveland Museum of Art, of the presidency of the American Federation of Arts gives to that organization the full-time service of a man of wide experience and great in- fluence; the College Art Association, which, in its more limited field, is the outstanding Ameri- can agency, is contemplating an administrative reorganization which should greatly increase its availability; and, finally, the election of Dr. Suzzallo brings to the service of the Carnegie Foundation one of the leading spirits of his generation in the broader aspects of art educa= tion. \ ] 112.

Constellation. “These changes, plus the larger share of the income of the corporation which will shortly be available, combine to make possible a period of larger activities in the arts for the future, and such a program, if authorized by the trustees, may prove that the justification for the ex- penditures during the years of what the author of a recent magazine article has described as ‘fingering somewhat gingerly a program in the fine arts’ lies not so much in the results di- -e.tly obtained, though it is believed that these have been substantial, as in the foundation of friendly relations established and experience gained, upon which the larger program may be ‘This, indeed, suggests many interesting pos- sibilities, real progress in the arts in America. FREDERIC ALLEN WHITING, elected to the presidency of the American Federation of Arts last May, has, with Mrs. Whiting, takem up his residence here in Washington. He is the first president of the American Federation of Arts to give his entire time as a salaried officer to the work of this national society, and under his leadership tangible expansion of the feder- ation’s program is anticipated. Mr. Whiting as director of the Cleveland Museum of Art achieved signal success, not only in upbuilding the museum, but in humanizing art museum service. There is probably no museum in the country which is conducting to- day so wide and effective a program for public benefit—education, recreation—and the influ- ence cf this work successfully conducted in Cleveland is widespread and effectual. That Mr. Whiting has come to Washington with the expectation of permanent residence, has pur- chased a home and will identify himself hence- forth with local as well as national activities 18 a distinct gain to Washington, and matter for congratulatioh. Rubinstein Concerts. 'HE Rubinsiein Club has announced its two congerts for this season. The first will be held January 20, with Laurence Strauss as solo- ist. Mr. Strauss has spent much time abroad and has studied under Jean de Reszke. At the second concert, April 21, the club will present Va'entina Aksarova, Russian soprano from the Petrograd Opera House. This will be Mme. Aksarova's first appearance in Washing- ton. Dance Recital. ‘HE Lisa Gardiner dance recital, next Sunday evening, December 7, at Wardman Park Theater, will present Miss Gardiner in both classic bolict and national or character dances, assisted by a group of the Gardiner D. n-ers, with Ka'lioryn Mullowney featured as soldist in a Chopin interpretation. Alice Louise Hunter, Christine Stewart, Maurine Mulliner and Faye Rogers will be among the ensemble dancers.
