MAGAZINE PAGE. Negligees in Modern Wardrobes BY MARY MARSHALL. EGLIGEES are increasingly im- portant in the modern woman's I wardrobe. You can tell that by the space devoted to loung- ing robes, pajamas and other rts of negligee garments in any smart lepartment store. In place of the single le or counter that was devoted to ] ghem a few years ago you will now find many counters and many showcases— with & variety of negligees to suit all | tastes. Don't think of them as luxury items in your wardrobe that you cannot af- ford when your dress allowance is| strictly limitéed. On the contrary, an | adequate supply of negligees is really | an economy. By wearing an attractive | megligee of some sort during leisure | MENU FOR A DAY, BREAKFAST.

Also get a diction- | ary, take odd words and practice them clearly according to the directions for pronunciation at the top of each page. You will find that after a while you do it unconsciously and it will become a part of you. There are many technical exercises for improving the voice and I will tell about a few of them in a later piece.

It is grating and grinding. Most girls in our big cities are under a great handicap with their voices. They are struggling to be heard against the fearful noises of motor horns and machinery. They are struggling to speak when they're tired and worn out And so their voices are either harsh or they are strained (Copyright, 1982.) Everyday Psychology BY DR. JESSE W. SPROWLS. Judgment of Children. Nowadays psychologists are saying that children are older than adults. That is, they are older in a psycholog- ical sense. It is said, for example, that the basic mental processes are inborn and that we outlive these to some extent as we grow older. “The child is father of the man.” There is much to be said for this point of view, 4 Take the matter of judgmen{ in re- spect to sizing up the personality traits of others. It does seem that children surposs adults in that important re- spect, Children reason by intuition or “hunches.” Adults are more or less guided by appeerances, which are often very poor substitutes for facts. When it comes to jucging personality or char- acter traits in another, our best judg-| ments are of the “snap” variety. Chil- dren stick to their intuitions. Adults, looking for other “signs,” are likely to lose sight of the fundamentals. Of course, adults think they have learned by experience that their hunches are not reliable. ~But thelr, hunches aren't real hunches. They | aren't based on purely intuitional| grounds. Adults read past judgments and similarities into every mnew| acquaintance. Children, as a rule, are not so incumbered { (Copyright, 1932.)

Chatterer the Red Squirrel is, as you know, a small person.

But he makes up for his small size by his | quick wit. Were it not so he would have been caught by one of his hungry enemies long since. He thinks quickly and moves quickly, as those who_have tried to catch him well know. He is smart and he knows it. Perhaps it is this knowledge and his confidence in | his quick wits that made him the saucy | little rascal that he is, for there is no| more impudent little person in all the | Green Forest. | Now as Chatterer, all atremble from | his narrow escape from great claws that had all but seized him, crouched in the safety of an opening under the stones R\ [TV “AS SURE AS I AM ALIVE, THAT IS AN OWL,” THOUGHT HE. | of the old stone wall, he was thinking fast. “Now, who could that have been?” thought he. “All I saw were those big feet and claws. No one but members | of the Hawk family have feet like those | excepting Owls, and they do not hunt by day. Yet I didn't hear the sound of wings and that is queer. I didn't| hear anything. If I hadn't turned my | head when 1 did I wouldn't be here now and I wouldn't have known who caught me. I ought to find out who it was, so as to know who to watch out for. The sooner I find out the better.” So very, Chatterer very cautiously ,crept to a point where he could peep | out, yet be safe. Al first he saw no one. Then, with just the faintest gasp | of sheer surprise, he discovered sitting | motionless on a big stone of the old wall, watching the opening through | which he had dived to safety, a big| stranger wholly unlike any one he ever had seen in all his life. “What a fice!" thought Chatterer “What & face! I didn’t suppose there was such a face in all the Great World If it were round I would say that that fellow is an Owl, but it is long rather than round. And what long legs! The legs of all the Owls I know are hidden by long feathers when they sit, but this fellow's legs have such short feathers that they look almost bare. And what big feet and long, sharp| claws!” Chatterer shivered as he thought of how narrow an escape from feeling those claws he had had. “He doesn't look like a Hawk. He"— Chatterer didn't finish. _That stranger had turned his head. He had turned | it until he was looking straight behind him and his head looked as if it were hindside before. “An Owl!" gasped Chatterer. “No one but an Owl could turn his head way around like that!"

All the time he was doing some fast thinking. “As sure' as I am alive that is an Owl," thought he, “‘a newcomer to these parts. But what is he doing out in the middle of the day? That is what I want to know. Hooty the Great Horned Owl hunts by day sometime in the darker parts of the Green Forest, especially when he has a family to feed, but never before have I had to watch for an Owl over here near Farmer Brown's. That fellow must be half starved or—I know! He has a nest and young. That is why he is hunting in the daytime. It is dark end gloomy today and he is out hunting. And he must have a mate. Probably she is out hunting, too. With those Owls hunt- ing in the daytime it is going to be exciting around here. I guess I will get back to the Green Forest and stay there unless the sun is shining. I don't be- lieve they will hunt on a bright day.

However, this seeming discrep- ancy can be explained by realizing that the author, in a apparently has two very diffarent sides to her person- ality. In her handwriting each side struggles for expression It is probable that she is engaged in some business work that she has been able to do successfully. This commer- cial tendency is the more practical and matter-of-fact trait in her character. Along with her business abilities would be a capacity for attention to detail; a tenacity and determination which would probably qualify her for some executive position. In apparent conflict with this busi- ness and work-a-day side of her nature, there is a 7 love of the beautiful and artistic. She. perhaps, is deeply moved emotionally by music. Painting and poetry may give her a pleasure never found in her world of business. It would not be amiss if she could combine these two divergent traits of character in some voeation that would on to each.

MILADY BEAUTIFUL BY LOIS LEEDS, Postures. EW of us realize how much our bodily well-being depends on correct posture and correct walking. If we stand correctly the body is in such a position .hat all internal organs are well sup- ported and no undue strain is thrown on any one structure, the weight being distributed throughout the whole framework. Correct posture is more a matter of habit than anything else. If the habit has been acquired in early childhood the muscles are unconsciously held in a state of tonic contraction, so that the spine is properly supported. but the habit also can be gained later in life by the aid of exercises and constant practice of good carriage. In a correct standing position the spine is at its full extension and the shoulders are well back to allow full expansion of the chest muscles. What happens when one adopts a slouching position is that the head and shoulders are poked forward so that the chest is contracted and the lungs have in- sufficient room for expansion. Result incomplete oxygenation of the blood with resultant lack of pep or vitality The spine is unduly curved out at the shoulders and in at the waist, a con- dition known as “lordosis,” which re- sults in relaxation of the abdominal muscles. The stomach and other ab- dominal organs tend to drop lower than their normal position and the processes | of digestion are delayed. Every girl or woman who wishes to cultivate a graceful carriage and to walk correctly should take special ex- ercises daily. She should walk a cer- tain distance every day in the open air also. The exercise will have an in- creasingly beneficial effect as she learns to carry herself correctly. Keep a watch on the position of the head and neck and the action of the legs. In correct walking the legs should be swung from the hips, not from the knees. Thus a graceful swing of the whole leg propels the body easily and smoothly. while a short swing princi- pally from the knees is awkward and lacking in rhythm.

A person with an erect carriage has no difficulty in keeping the book balanced A good posture exercise is to drop the body forward from the chest to the waist in a relaxed position, then slowly raise it upward, bringing the arms sideways and upward at the same time until the fingers are clasped over the head.
