Perhaps that is why today‘s women appear to have slimmer limbs! Superfluous hair causes shadows and its actual fuzz does increase the girth of the leg calf, so meliculous women who are conscious of body beauty remove it. Active sports and shorter skirts make sleek legs essential, and if yours are not you cannot be rated as @a modérn woman. A few minutes with the aid of a cream, wax or emery will qusckly banish any unwanted hair and the woman who says, "IT‘ll not reâ€" move it T‘ll remain as nature intended me to be," is only robbing herself of happiness and not living up to her qduty to society, For it is a woman‘s duty to be as lovely looking as possible. How Long Do You Wear Your Skirts With legs that are sleek and slim vou may wear skirts as short as you likeâ€"â€" even those jaunty skating outfits with flared skirts above the knees are not to extreme.‘ ‘But, if your legs are not the most beautifully shaped then you must wear your skirts of a length most flatâ€" tering to your measurements. No two girls have limbs formed exâ€" actly alike, so it follows that no two girls should wear their skirts exactly the same number of inches from the floor. If fashion dictates "skirts eightâ€" geen inches off the floor," then you must modifv her rule to suit you. If your knees are teoo thin or too fat wear your hemline at least four inchâ€" es below them. That is one good guiding rule. If the calves of your legs are heavy avoid too short skirtsâ€"let yours come down to five or six inches below your knees. Too long legs, or too thin legs call for skirts which just reach the upper parts of the calfs. Standing beâ€" fore a full length mirror will help you getermine which length is most flatâ€" tering. Large Number of Interested Mothers and Fathers Hear Talk by E. J. Transom. Another point to consider is your waistline. If you have a high waistâ€" line you can wear your skirts shorter than the girl with a very low waistâ€" line. If she wore her skirts very short she would look unbalanced. You might make another test if you are truly interested in leg beauty. The next time you shop try on several cuts of skirtsâ€"a very full flared skirt, a full gored skirt, a straight skirt narâ€" row from waist to hem, and a skirt with a low flare or pleats. By so doâ€" ing you will be able to judge which cut of skirt does most for your legs. Too many women go about wearing unflattering skirt lines and their legs take the rap!

He stressed <he best points and essential differences between the old course of study and the new and progressive form, and showed how the present sysâ€" tem of study tends to develop the child as a wholeâ€"academically, civically, and sCcially. His talk was followed by a very mtel- esting round table discussion, during which Mr. Transom answered the quesâ€" tions of parents, and the group disâ€" cussed grading, examinations, and proâ€" motions. Another point brought out was the manner in which teachers dealt with backward pupils.

The good fortune of two young plowmen from Hornby, Ontario, in 1940, has become the topic of conâ€" versation among plowmen all over Onâ€" tari0. ‘As a reward for their prowess they were given a trip which took them to points of agricultural interest in the United States and Canada, from Toronto to Vancouver. They saw cowboys, sheepâ€"herders and miners in the "copper‘" town of Butte, Montana. This was a live, almost wild city, filled with the unexpected. In Towa they sat in on a conference with farmers and answered questions about Canada and her mEthods of farming. Every minultg of their trip was an education and they learned many new methods of farming which they are using to considerable advantage on their own farms. Gordon McGavin, Viceâ€"President of the Plowmen‘s Asâ€" sociation, accompanied them as guide and manazer.
