EAR MISS LEADS—Can you give me a few exercises that will help me to feel polsed? My weight is correct for my height wnd age and I am well proportioned. but I always feel ill at ease and ankward in company, espe- | cially when I try to dance. I feel stiff and it is hard for me to co-ordinate and dance gracefully. Thank you for MISS W. J. T. Dancing is a splendid ex- your type. Of ctice and take ring-up ises regularly. If possible, take a few private lessons and practice in your own room the various dance steps that you feel bother you Play soothing music, which will help you to relax. A splendid exercise for giving poise and good carriage is to balance & book on the head. The head must be in line with the spine and the ribs lifted buoyantly above the ab: comen, which is well drawn in. A other exercise that will help to make the spine loose and supple is as follows: Stand erect, with feet slightly apart knees together, hands on hips. Kneel cown and drop the chin as near to the s possible. Be careful to keep stomach well drawn in. From this around and up to the 1) the front and up- 'd t> the left Repeat five to 10 times, swinging rhythmically in a half MENU FOR A DAY, BREAKFAST.

LOIS LEEDS Choosing Shade of Powder. Dear Miss Leeds—(1) My problem is to find a suitable shade of face powder to blend with my rather uncommon | coloring. T have jet-black hair and = medium fair skin, ‘and find that rachel shades are much too yellow for me. Will you please advise me the shade of face powder to use? Thank you for your helpful column; it is so practical MISS ANN D. Answer.—Your coloring is not un- common, my-.dear, and I think that you will find a ilesh rose or tea rose shade of face powder suitable. This rose color will give a flattering, healthy | glow to your type of skin. Or you may have a face powder blended that will be suitable. This individual powdei- blending service is obtainable at any large beauty salon or cosmetic counter. LEEDS. Mrs. W. G, F.—Please send me & | self-addressed, stamped envelope and | ask for my leaflet on specisl rinses for | blondes and bruncttes. The blonde | rinse that you refer to is given in de- tail, together with the shampoo for your type of hair. I have not the space to reprint the beauty treatment at this time, but if you remember the date on which it appeared, you ean ob- tain a copy of the newspaper for that day. LOI8 LEEDS.

Handwriting What It May Reveal. BY MILDRED MOCKABEE. Y ahfun Lo WW%—U HIS appears to be the writing of a_very interesting pPersonality. This very large, heavy style is frequently used by a forceful type of person. This writer seems to be one who would attract at- tention no matter where she might be. | She would apparently never be a “cling- ing vine,” but would desire to lead others. Though she undoubtedly has & keen appreciation of what to do and when, she should not intrude these good ideas too strongly on others. Too great insistence upon her own plans might antagonize those whom she was trying to help. The tightly closed “f” suggests good management. She does not seem at all stingy, but she would surely de- mand full return for her money. She would seemingly desire the best to be had and would gladly pay for it, but she would quickly detect any attempt | to sell second-rate goods at first-class {prices. The long lower loops and | shorter upper-ones emphasize this prac- | tical side of her nature. | She probably enjoys travel. Though she would always desire an estab- lished home to which she could re- turn, she appears to be the roaming type. No corner of the globe would be too obscure to attract her. As her interest in human nature seems great, she possibly enjoys the different types of people encountered as much as their countries. Seemingly she would not be content to settle long in any one |place away from home. While away she would probably always want to be on the move. When at home she perhaps enjoys a very pleasant social life. Probably & suburban life would suit her best. Here she could have out-of-door sports | which would provide an interesting outlet for her energies. She would ,?trhlpl desire her friends to visit her requently, wanting to have them enter |into her pleasures.

There BY HELEN Whose uniquely successful career, enables her to speak wi How About It, Mothers? “Dear Helen Woodward: When I read your article about wives making homes and keeping their jobs, I simply had to write you. Of course, hundreds of women are doing both beautiful But there are still many who balk at it. Some of them are just mentally . 1azy and some are bound down by traditions. They have forgotten or never knew that the home in the old days was & fac- tory in which the wife had to be a skilled workman and executive. But those times are past. “Here'’s to speeding the day when women as well as men will seek the job for which they are best fitted, and stick to it regardless of marriage and children. I have managsd a home and & job together. And for short periods I have merely kept house, I'll take the former combination every time. A job takes the edge off the dullness of house- keeping “And any woman who becomes ex- hausted because of having a home and & job has perhaps chosen the wrong outside job. Or she needs a vacation Or she foolishly tries to shoulder all the household drudgery instead of hiring some of it done. Nelen Woodward. ¢“TEXAS ROW” in the House Office Building on the Hill—long a fixture in congressional circles—will be broken up within & few days if the Democrats come into control. “Texas Row" is that line of offices on the fifth floor where Represent- atives of the Lone Star State are fond o 1 establishing quarters when they come to Washing- ton. The fifth floor is attic-like in ap- pearance. Main elevators do not go there. 1t is nec- essary to take side elevators to reach it. The cellings |are low and the = g/ corridors a bit is not the finery there which une observes on_the other floors. Each Congressman occupies small rooms partitioned in half. His secre- tary sits in the first half, he in th other toward the back. The entrance is through a white painted door, the upper part of it white glass. Walking down one corridor, glancing at the stenciled names on the doors, a visitor gets the impression that he is calling the roll of the Texas delega- tion in Congress In office 538 there is Daniel Garrett of the modern woman. A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK BY HERBERT PLUMMER. WOODWARD, both in business and private life, th authority on problems | “Does it not seem strange that we chould still think the mere act of par- cntage fits & woman for what should be the highest pald job in the land— the care and training of children? To me it is perfectly maddening to see what some well meaning but incompetent mothers do to their children. “I live in an average middle-class neighborhood. One neighbor, a sweet woman who would be a jewel in an eat- ing house, keeping the public well fed, has made her four children a spoiled | and helpless lot. Another woman, who would make an excellent gardener, tells boastfully how her son spent her money |for candy when he was sent out for groceries. The best behaved child in the neighborhood is the son of a woman who has her own job outside the house. She hasn't time to spoil him. “Child raising requires experts in nutrition, nursing, psychology and teaching. What parent can qualify in all that? Surely future generations will look back upon us and laugh. “I wish, Helen Woodward, that you would print a gquestionnaire in your column to be filled out by the women who hav~ kept their jobs and the wom- | en who have not. The results should be interestine. Thank you for allowing | me to get this off my chest.” I can't print a questionnaire, but I'd Jove to hear from other women who | have worked and kept house.

I | When the Democrats organize the | | House in the coming Congress, there will be some moving in this section. Bigger and better offices are in atore for | some of them—offices which are appro- priately termed suites. Three of the group will become chair- men of major committees and inherif office space and equipment the like of which only the privileged may enjoy. Sam Rayburn, for example, will move from his little cubby hole on the fifth floor down to the second in the space allowed the chairman of the Committee | |on Interstate and Foreign Commerce. | | His offices are perhaps the swankiest | of the lot. Hatton Sumners will be installed in the quarters on the third floor reserved for the chairman of the Judiciary Committee. The room in which his | committee meets resembles & court | | room in appearance. | | Marvin Jones, who becomes chairman | of the Agriculture Committee, will get | the agriculture suite on the second floor, oceupied for so long by the ven- | erable Haugen of Iows, dean of the | House.

IT ALL DATES BACK to a few months ago. As you know, I have my hands pretty full with three small children— and Jim really works awfully hard at the office. We were both becoming increasingly run-down, nervous and finding it hard to sleep. So we decided to give up coffee at supper, because of caffeine. One day I was talking to a friend of mine who teaches dictetics. She told me that we had acted very sensibly as far as we had gone. That we were wise to give up caffeine — but very unwise to give up a soothing, relax- ing, warm beverage at supper. She advised me to begin serving Kellogg’s Kaffee Hag Coffee—because it was just as satisfying as the finest coffee, but free of caffeine. And its warmth and cheering flavor would aid digestion, help us relax and induce restful sleep. Well, I followed that advice—and Jim and I really do look like two new persons today. Kellogg's Kaffee IHag Coffee is nothing but the purest, finest coffee—rwith 977 of the caffcine~—and with the indigestible wax removed. Wonderfully improved in both blend and flavor — the price has also been reduced again, to where Kaffee Hag Coffee now costs practically the same as any other fine coffee. And think of the extra benmefits! Try Kellogg's Kaffee Hag Coffee for a week and see if you do not sleep better, feel better—put more enthusiasm snd sest into your work, Kellogg’s Kaffee Hag Coffee is sold by your grocer in vacuum-sealed cans. Try a pound. It is guaranteed pure coffee, free of caffeine effect. If you aren’t entirely satisfied, return the empty can to us and we will refund your money. Roasted by Kellogg in Battle Creek.
