With the return of a somewhat more shapely silhouette with accent again laid on the waistline, there is even more urge to acquiring or retain- ing slender proportions. Waistlines as we know them today are always indi- cated in one way or other. Sometimes they are very much emphasized, but in any event they must look natural. ‘There must be no indications of tight lacing. And what adds somewhat to the complication, hips must remain as slender as they were in the straight- e era. And so while doctors protest that drastic reduction is injurious and that young girls would be better off if they took on a little more weight, fashion still insists on a slender silhouette, and ladies of more than ample contours, no matter how well proportioned and beau- tiful they may be, are still protesting that the designers and dressmakers dis- criminate unduly against them.

RIED in the sand at the bottom of the posthole dug by Farmer Brown's Boy, peace came to Old Mr. Toad. True, he was at the bottom of what to him was a frightfully deep hole, but that was far, far better than going down the long gullet of Mr. Blacksnake. From that there would be no escape, while from this difficulty he was sure he could find a way out. It would take him a long time to get out, and he was impatient to get to the Smiling Pool to join the happy chorus and to let Mrs. Toad know that he was there waiting for her, but better to keep her waiting a little while than forever. The sand ‘was damp, which was to Old Mr. Toad's liking, so when he had recovered from his fright he really was very comfort- able. Along sbout dusk he dug his way out to the bottom of the posthole and looked up. It was a long distance up to the edge of that hole. He sighed. He sighed again. Then he set to work digging. Instead of digging down, he dug into the wall of the hole slanting upward and off to one side. It was slow work, and he took his time about it. There was no use in getting tired out at the start. It was along toward noon of the fol- lowing day that Farmer Brown's Boy came to set a new post in that hole. Before dropping it in he looked in to make sure that there was nothing in that hole. You see, he is a careful and a thoughtful boy, and the thought came to him that some one might have fallen in there. No one was to be seen. He was just about to turn away to pick up the post to set it in the hole when he noticed a little hole in the smooth wall close to the bottom, and a little higher and off to one side another lit- tle hole. “Now, who could have made those two holes, and what for?” said he to himself, and squatted down that he might see better. “Holes like that don't make themselves,” he continued. “1 suspect they are connected. Hello! ‘What is making that sand fall from that place just above and to the left of that upper hole?” He looked more close]y. Sure enough, sand was trickling wn from that point. He squatted on his heels and watched. The sand trickled faster. He felt sure that something or some one was digging out at that point. Pretty soon a tiny hole appeared. Then the sand appeared to be pushed out, and & moment later he laughed aloud in pleased . There at this newly made hole was the face of Old Mr. Toad!

There were times when Lois thought she would go mad. Here was her only child, 2-year-old Ann, just running all over the place and getting into mischief 20 times a day. From the moment the little girl was up until she went to bed it seemed to Lois that she could do nothing but scold the child, run after and punish her. As a result when Roger came home Lois was a wreck. She poured all her woes into his ear during dinner time. Occasionally Roger wished that the baby had never arrived, for she certainly was working havoc with his sweet-natured Lois. As a wife she had seemed to be perfect, but as a mother and wife she was not satis- factory in either role. He and she sat down one evening and tried to talk it over. But Lois’ feelings were hurt. She said things she never meant to say and went crying to bed. Next day in the hours when Roger was at business she tried to think things out. But she was always interrupted by something Ann did. At last she listened to herself as she scolded the baby. She heard herself going on and on: “Now a big girl like you ought to be ashamed of acting this way. Don’t you love mother? Don't you realize you are hurting her> Don't you know if you run out into the street that way you may get killed?” She seemed to hear herself with new ears. What did all that scolding mean to & 2-year-old? Nothing at all, except that every time she did something wrong she was able to hold her mother’s undivid- ed attention. And that she adored. The words meant nothing to her. She was not old enough to be reasoned with. Being killed meant nothing more to her than being fed or put to bed. She had | no conception of what happened when | one was killed. | Lois turned right about face. She punished sharply and quickly—no talk- ing, no wordy scenes. Ann soon found fun to be punished and e e Mrs. Matilda Hiller, aged 72, who is a | grandmother, and Arthur Wilkinson, 74, | both of Crewe, England, who were mar- ried recently, first met in a cemetery. Thornton “some one did fall into this hole, after all, and you are that one. I suppose that if no one gave you a helping hand you would keep on digging your zigzag passages until at last you reached the top. It would take you a long time, Mr. Toad, and be an awful lot of hard work, so I am going to help you.” His hoe was not far away. With this he reached down and managed to slip the blade of it under Old Mr. Toad, and in a jiffy had him up on the ground. Old Mr. Toad looked up and blinked at him with those beautiful golden “NOW, WHO COULD HAVE MADE THOSE TWO HOLES, AND WHAT FOR?” SAID HE TO HIMSELF. eyes of his, which was the only method he had of expressing his thanks, Then he shook himself and started off, hop, hop, hipperty hop, and he was headed in the direction of the Smiling Pool. Farmer Brown's Boy watched him for a few minutes. Then he went after him. “I know where you are bound, Old Mr. Toad,” said he. “You want to get to the Smiling Pool. That is harmful, provided, of course, that it does not get into the eyes. The in- gredierits are not expensive ones. How- ever, it would be more satisfactory for you to use mascara or & ready-prepared eyelash dye of the correct shade. The recipe you quote would deepen the color of your lashes while it remains on. LOIS LEEDS. Hairs on Arms; Pimples. Deer Miss Leeds: (1) How can I get rid of hairs on my arms? (2) I have lots of pimples on my face. How can I take them off? A READER. Answer.—(1) The most practical way to handle this beauty problem is to remove the hairs at intervals with & Permanent removal of the electrolysis would be_ too tedious and expensive. If the hairs are not very numerous, it would really be a better plan to bleach them with 17-volume peroxide instead of trying to take them off. (2) Pimples require two kinds of treatments carried out at the same time—namely, external and internal treatments. ~ The former includes thorough cleansing and antiseptic meas- ures. A boric acid pack at least once a week is often helpful. Mix two table- spoonfuls of the boric acid powder with enough water to make g thin paste and then blend in one fablespoonful of facial cream. Spread the skin after it has been cleansed and leave it on for half an hour. The fol- lowing skin lotion is also helpful for pimply skins: Four ounces rosewater, 1 dram glycerin, 1 dram spirits of cam- phor and 1 dram precipitated sulphur. This may be applied several times a day. It is best to avoid using make-up on a skin like yours until it is cleared up. Be sure to wash your face morning and evening. Mild sunburn will be beneficial. Internal treatments are just as neces- sary as external ones. First and fore- most, you must watch your diet. Make it a rule to eat some fresh fruit, a large serving of salad and some vegetable like hairs spinach every day. Do not eat meat oftener than once a day. Omit from your diet all rich pastries, foods fried in deep fat, between-meal snacks of candy or other sweets, thickened soups and graVy. Avoid constipation. Drink six _or eight glassfuls of water during each day, but not at meal times. Exercise outdoors every day and take setting-up exercises in your room to stimulate your circulation and make your body supple. mtl&)g‘!fly. " MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST.

Then he started straight for the Smiling Pool. When he reached it he gently put Old Mr. Toad down on the shore. Mr. Toad's eyes looked as if they would pop out of his head.

If you haven't one of these devices, you may find that the best way to cook asparagus is standing up in a deep kettle.

Recent laboratory tests show that BRAN supplies “bulk” to ex- ercise the intestines, and Vitamin B to help tone the intestinal tract. In addition, ALL-BRAN contains twice as much blood-butlding iron, by weight, as beef liver. ‘This “bulk” in ALL-BRAN is much like the “bulk” in lettuce. Inside the body, it absorbs moisture and forms a soft mass, which gently clears the intestines of wastes. Special cooking processes make ALL-BRAN finer, softer, more pal- atable. It is not habit-forming. Think how much better it is to enjoy this delicious cereal than to take endless pills and drugs, which | often lead to harmful habits. Two tablespoonfuls daily — in| serious cases with every meal—are ' usually sufficient.
