Through long continued bad posture, particularly in the | growing child, the skeleton of the body may be so deformed that seri- ous results will follow in adult life. A great portion of our time is spent in the sitting position and at | 1east one-third of it lying down. The posture of the body under all of these circumstances is important. Various muscles and joints are involved in any position that the body may assume. The experts who have studied fhe subject have analyzed the posture from the ana- timical point of view. They realize that the manner in which one atands or sits has to do with the position of the organs of the interior of the body and with the v in which they function, Chest. Depression An habitual depression of the chest cavity makes impossible deep | breathing; interference with venti- | lation of the lungs makes them sus- ceptible to various diseases, Downward and inward pressure jon the abdomen interferes with the action of the stomach and intestines. Cramping of the chest and abdomen throws an extra load on the func- tions of the heart. Habitual bad posture resuits in curving of the spine with inability of the back to function properly in work. Furthermore, our views of beauty are definitely, related to certain con- ceptions of ' posture. The things that we admire are those associated with correct posture; namely, up- rightness, level-headed. chesty, well- balanced and poise. The things that we dislike are as- sociated with had posture, slouchy, narrow chest, stooped, shuffling, shambling. A man who stands and sits correctly is said to have back- bone. The weak and incompetent are called spineless. Occasionally bad habits of pos- ture become a national fad, as in the case of the debutante slouch, the use of the bustle, and the straight front. These things are, however, unexplainable, and sooner or later humanity returns to a proper conception of physical con- dition. Proper School Seats Since much of the life of the child is spent in school, educational in- stitutions are giving more and more attention to proper sitting and to lessons in posture during the school hours. A properly designéd seat is not vation at the rcar of the seat to slide the body forward and the back is fitted comfortably to the natural | curves of the spinal column, A child who sits correctly in a proper seat is able to put its feet squarely on the floor without slump- ing; there is no tendency to slide forward on the seat when the child relaxes. The shoulders tend to hang out- ward and back, and there is no in- clination of the body to topple for- ward. If a seat is properly built, it is mercly necessary for the child to sit well back in the scat to be assurcd of good posture. |Large iiandkerchngfs Popular With Women Paris, July 27, () — The new handkerchiefs arc man-sized, lut | feminine style.

Today, Isobcl and Margaret have only memories, but h ambition | undimmed. They exist in poverty on a discarded and rotting river barge. It wouldn't even float were it not jammed in the mud of stag- nant Sherman Creek, near the Dyke- man street landing in New York. “No,” Isobel insisted, gamely, | “it isn't because we love the great | out-of-doors, or are being eccen- | tric.

Asked No Al | “You sce, my sister and 1 didn't run true to form. We both love art and have aspired to artistic carcers, We haven't asked our rich relatives for help. So wo will hav to find our own way out of our| poverty."” Isobel is dettermined to make a name for herself on Rroadway. Margaret, the sister, who was marricd some years ago to Richard R. O'Neil and later scparated from | him, has fittcd up the old cabin to resemble a studio, where she models all day long. “If T had my life to live over, I'd prefer to have to struggle more in my early years, and then possibly by now, I would be self-reliant enough | to hold my own on Broadwa: Isobel went on. “I'm convinced that you have to be hard boiled today to make your mark. If women are dangerously 80, it is not from choice lut from necessity. Irench, riding, music, art and travel are all very well for drawing room life, but a career de- | mands the go-getter spirit and the | ability to give as good as is sent.” A Scanty Wardrobe In appearance, Isobel is what most people would call “arty.” Her | | extraordinarily lovely red-gold hair, | her best feature, is cut a la Green- | | wich Village, up one side and down {on the other, and she wears one | heavy. old silver earring. Tall, slim | {and graceful, she doubtless would | | wear clothes stunningly, though she | admits that now her wardrobe is | not dictated so much by her taste | as by her finances. At best, the barge is a dismal | { looking, ramshackle affair, outside ! |as well as in. The furniture was, lett behind as not being worth mov- | {ing. The kitchen stove was par. tially concealed and its original pur- pose blocked by a vellow cover. Opera_scores, musteal books and | writing pads indicated it now was | doubling as a work tahle. | One Trace of Beauty | The only suggestion of beauty was a green Spanish shawl draped | over an ugly mission rocker—one her mother had purchased ycars ago in Madrid. When ex-Governor Stone dicd, eight years ago, he left an estate valued at $200,000 besides an $85,- 1000 life insurance policy. Through { litigations and unfortunate invest- ments, this evaporated until there 1s | | nothing lert. “Naturally, opera is my goal.” said Tsobel. “But just a good sing- ing job that pays a little money | would be welcome.
