Avgust 15, 1937 P L P MoK FETEN Drawing by Major Felten Beauty Brevities by MARTHA LEAVITT N SPITE of outdoor activities are you keeping in trim so that you cut a fine figure as you walk along the beach? Mary Carlisle has a brand new re- ducing system. It is called the “‘fifty- two card trick”’ and lots of Hollywood stars are practicing it. Here it is: “Every morning when you get out of bed and cast your eyes towards your breakfast tray,” she says, ‘‘re- strain yourself and pick up a pack of cards. Stand at one end of your room and throw the pack upward, outward, or any way you feel like, using com- plete abandon. Then get busy and pick them all up, one by one, until you have the whole fifty-two. It’ll surprise you how much fifty-two cards can do for the right muscles, particularly those that need stretching.” And what about your hips? It is a good idea to try out a few exercises for slenderizing them. You can do these while taking your sunbath: 1 — Lie on the back with upper arms at right angles to the body, hands under the neck. Bend knee in a relaxed condition and draw it into your chest as far as possible. Hold, relax, and alternate with the left leg. 2 — Lying on back, hands on your hips, draw knee into your chest, then extend it far across the right side, pointing your toes out. Come back to first position and repeat same with right leg. When the temperature rises, follow Ida Lupino’s wise counsel regarding diet: “‘Don’t get that loss of appetite. Beat nature to it by giving up all rich, heavy dishes until next fall and sub- stitute good, healthful summer con- coctions.”” Fresh shredded vegetables such as carrots, cabbage and lettuce, with fruit for dessert, help solve the hot weather menu problem. That Slim Waistline which every woman wants will be helped by our leaflet of five special exercises.

First Glimpse of Love Continved from page seven “Or simply, ‘Water, water’!” Ed- gar said. “‘Okay, Admiral!"”’ Clifford mocked. “Well,”” Edgar said, ‘‘what are you going to call her?”’ . The three boys looked at each other. « They nodded, then Clifford said: “We're going to name her The Isabelle C.” “Oh!’ This small cry of protest broke from [sabelle’s throat before she could stop it. She saw Edgar and the girls trying not to laugh. She saw the boys waiting for her response. “‘Oh,” she repeated quickly and with evident joy, ‘“‘why I never dreamed — w why, I don’t know what to say.” ‘‘Say you're honored,”” Edgar whis- pered loudly. “I am honored,”” she said as if she had no idea he was joking. “We thought,” Chester said, “if you’d christen her, Isabelle?” “Why,” she gulped. “I'd, I'd feel honored.”” This was toomuch. Couldn’t the boys see how funny the others thought all this was? She wanted to choke all three of them; no she wanted to choke those others. The boys had a right to their boat if they wanted it. But if she could some time, some- how, show that Edgar Bowen what she thought of him. ‘“When’s the christening?’’ Edgar asked. “That, bo’sun,” Chester Armstrong said, ‘‘is a matter you’re not in on.” ““What!’ Susie exclaimed. ‘‘The ceremony’s not to be open to the pub- lic.” “Strictly private, babe,” Clifford said. “‘Strictly.” THIS WEEK she protested. “After “But that’s mean, “It’s justice,” Wally said. all the kidding we've taken.” “You mean you don’t want a representative of the Navy to add dignity to the occasion?’’ Edgar asked. ‘“We mean,” Wally leaned across Isabelle and grinned at his brother, “‘that we particularly do not desire the presence of the Navy. If the Navy does not remain away the Navy will be forcibly propelled from the scene.” And that, Isabelle thought, was the end of it. She’d go to the lake, she’d christen the boat. She’d wear her organdie with the long full skirt and her big hat with the blue ribbon. She’d look and behave as much as she could like those girls she’d seen christening boats in newsreels. She could do it if Edgar Bowen wasn't there. Two days later she drove alone out to the lake. The sun was setting and a wind ruffled the water into waves that slapped against the shore. Holding her skirt close about her, she picked her way through a wild tangle of growth to the boys who waited for her beside the boat. When they saw her she was glad she’d put on her best dress. The way they were looking at her made her feel sort of different about the boat. It looked different, too, from what she had expected; sort of big sitting up on those trestles or whatever they were, and her name painted on the side and the bottle hanging from a ribbon. She was actually beginning to feel like somebody in a newsreel. “Well, what do I do?” she asked. “You stand up here,” Clifford said, and lifted her to the low dock that straggled out into the lake. At this height, she saw, the boat’s prow or the stern — whichever it was — came level with her face. “You take this.”” Wally handed her the bottle. Her eyes widened. Why, it was champagne! ““You crack it over her and say, ‘I christen thee The Isabelle C.”” She nodded and became very grave and dignified as she grasped the bottle firmly by the neck and lifted it high. She let it swing down and proclaimed. “I chris’n thee, Is’belle C! "’ ‘The bottle crashed and champagne spattered. She didn’t see the boat slide into the lake for she was straight- ening her hat and mopping the cham- pagne from her face. When she looked up the boat was bobbing on the choppy water. “Boy " Wally shouted. “Boy I"" Clifford and Chester echoed. “Come on, Isabelle,” Wally pulled The Isabelle C. alongside the dock, “‘you’re to be the first aboard.” ““Hey "’ an amused voice called from somewhere close by. His voice. Isabelle drew herself up to haughti- ness while inside she shrank and shivered with embarrassment. So all the time he’d been watching and laughing at her! She turned and faced the shore. The boys turned with her. They found Edgar Bowen lean- ing against a tree behind which he had evidently been hiding during the en- tire proceedings. “For gosh’ sake — ** Wally began. “I knew you guys’'d slip up some- where.” Edgar grinned. ‘‘But nothing serious,” he reassured them. “Just a matter of etiquette. You see, the owner is always the first one on his boat and the last to leave her.” “It may interegt you to know that we are all utterly aware of the eti- quette for the occasion,” Isabelle announced with an icy politeness. ““Wally's saying I was to be the first aboard was a mere figure of speech meaning I was to be the first after the owner got on.” “Yeah! Wally nodded and the boys looked gratefully at Isabelle. Wally eased his great bulk into the boat, Chester and Clifford followed him. With difficulty they stood upright and held out their hands to Isabelle. “Isabelle.”” Edgar’s voice was sharp, “Don’t! She’s not safe. She’s — Isabelle turned her back on him and putting her hands in Wally’s, stepped grandly from the dock to the boat. Instantly the world swooped upside down amid shouts and the wild splash- ing of water. She clutched at Wally, who was suddenly not there. Every- body, everything had disappeared except the lake. She was struggling in its muddy ten-foot depth, weeds smeary across her face. Then she was caught under the arms, pulled up into the air and set down on the dock. Coughing and sputtering she yanked her dress straight and with her first clear breath, snarled like an enraged kitten: ‘““This was just what 1 thought would happen the first time I heard about that boat and this — this mud puddle!” “You feel all right now?”’ Edgar Bowen asked and lifted a trailing weed from her hair. ““Boats!” she raged on. they know about boats!”’ They were coming up through the weeds, their hands clutching for the dock. Their heads appeared and Edgar greeted them with: “Why she didn’t sink when the first two hundred pounds hit her, I'll never know.” Wally attempted a feeble grin, Chester gurgled and Clifford spoke through the water in his nose: “We're sorry, Isabelle. Gee!” She swallowed back her rage and made herself become calm and pleas- ant. “It’s all right,” she said. ‘“Per- fectly all right.” “But you aren’t and I'm taking you to some dry clothes now.” Before she could protest she was up in Edgar’s arms and he was striding off the dock. He said nothing more until he reached his car parked by a thicket. “Now!”’ He put her down. “You strip off your things, put on my coat and wrap yourself in the rug I'll get you from the car.” It dawned on her that everything was turning out to be pretty exciting. Very exciting, for he was treating her like a real person. He was really being marvelous to her and she would thank him, honestly thank him just as soon as she got out of her wet clothes. When she emerged from the thicket he gave her no opportunity to thank him. Picking her up as if she were a blanket-wrapped baby, he put her in the car, got in beside her and began rubbing her sopping hair with his two handkerchiefs. “Fool guys!”’ he muttered. “They could’ve drowned you. Tangled up with those weeds with those three ‘“What do .gorillas thrashing around you.” His voice softened, “And you didn’t want to go through with the crazy stunt in the first place — funny kid "’ There he was — starting it again, ° showing her she was a mere child in his eyes. She bent forward, cringing (Continved on page'15) Beauty authorities agree that the most impor- tant step in the care of your complexion is thorough cleansing.
