Possibly there are other mothers like our friend, Mrs. Brown, who are taking a little time, now that the holidays are over, to do & bit of little girl dressmak- ing. We hope so, anyway, because of all the attractive dresses we have seen recently one that seemed most attrac- tive was a little girl’s dress just arrived from Paris. It was made of pastel pink crepe de chine, with a picturesque little fichu of net edged with very narrow frills of net. The dress itself is of extremely simple construction—a straight gathered skirt a plain little bodice, puffed short | sleeves. The charm of the little cos- tume depends on the fichu, and this is | | as simple as can be. It calls for a right- | angle triangle of cotton net. To make cttern start with a plece of paper | 25 inches square. Fold diago- |nelly and cut a plece like the triangle | thus obtained from a piece of old sheet | or other soft material, and try on to | see whether it is of the 1ight size to go | around the shoulders and cross as shown in the sketch. Make the plece larger or | smaller. as required. Next make frills of the net not more than an inch wide when finished with a narrow hem Sew two rows of this frilling to the | sides of the fichu.

It is nagging. As long as a woman refrains from reminding her husband of his faults she might get as old as a female Methuselah and as stout as a fat woman in a circus and she would still look slim and young and beautiful o him, and he would pay her bills and eat her cooking with thankfulness of heart and still consider that he had drawn a prize in the marriage lottery. It isn't the loss JFOR there is no other fault under heaven that gets on a man's nerves as does his wife's nagging. It is the pebble in the shoe. It is the con- tinual pinprick. It is the never-ending drop-drop-dropping of water that wears away the hardest resistance. It is the continual pressing on & tender place that turns it into a malignant sore that poisons domestic life and kills everything that was sweet and wholesome in it. Every wife looks good to her husband so long as she wears & pleasant s honey on her lips for him. Is she extravagant? He can s she a poor housekeeper?

That is something else yet again. That is utterly and entirely hopeless, because no woman ever yet admitted that she na only tells her husband things for his own good, and she has to ke peating them because he does not listen to her advice. Goodness knows it is no pleasure to her to have to tell him every time he comes into the se, as she has done ever since the day they were married, to wipe his feet on the doormat and put his hat in the closet.

Her idea was to continue the ex- ercises just long enough to remove the excess fat. She did not wish to “waste time and energy on exercises” unless she was assured that they would bring quick and permanent re- | | sults. Many people have the same mis- | taken attitude toward exercise. They | appear to think that their bodies are like marble statues that can be carved into slim, graceful shapes that will re- main the same for ever after. But a moment’s reflection will show how fool- ish such a notion is. The tissues of the body are being constantly re- newed. The muscles soon lose thelr tone if they are allowed to become weak from disuse. The ever-present force of gravitation affects living bodies as well as apples. It makes cheeks and abdomen sag when muscles fail to support them properly, and its action never ceases. This is why a short course of exerciser for improving bulky walstlines eanmot give permanent results. The eighteen-inch waistline was once & ecriterion of feminine beauty, but nowadays a twenty-four-inch walst is considered slim and youthful, while twenty-eight or thirty inches is not too large for a mature figure of aver- age height. No matter what her waist | measures, however, healthy woman | needs exercise that bring into play | the muscles about this part of her | body. Here are a few exercise sug- sition, twist trunk as far as you oan to the right, then to the left. Repeat six times each way. Exercise 4.—Lie on your back on floor with knees bent up, arms out at sides. Raise chest, inhaling, and at the same time strongly contract the abdominal muscles. Hold a moment and repeat ten to twenty times with short rests between. Exercise 5.—Same starting position on floor. Raise trunk to sitting posi- tion, swing arms front and bend for- ward to touch the toes. Slowly lower body backward, rest and repeat five to_ten times. Remember that constant practice of correct posture is essential to main- taining a slim walstline.
