"Ageless Youth," gives a new slant on the subject, She says "Indolent habits must be overcome, and motion from the hips must be encourag- ed, Will as well as thought re. sides in muscular tissues; To Suard against a tendency which is ruinous to the slender effect that is so artistic and so sought after today, the will must be directed by powerful thought to these structures; they must be awaken-| ed from their lazy inclinations and made to work, Persons with this téndency have an innate dis- like for locomotion." Weight charts are deceiving. The width as well as the height st be taken into consideration, After all, it is the hips that count, Unless the width of the body is normal, weight calculations don't mean a thing. Those poor dears who tramp several miles a day in the hope that they can get rid of hippiness would do better to take up stren- uous exercise that will discourage fat cells, We offer some exercises Jecommenden by reducing special- sts. Lie flat on your back on the floor, Raise the right leg, cross it over the. left and stretch it as far as you can, touching the floor with your toes, Then roll. over on your hips. Ten times with the right Teg," then with the left and repeat, The pressure of the fleshy hips on the floor, together with the stretching of the hip and thigh muscles, will lessen. mea- surements in the course of time, Here's an active one that may make you pant a bit, so don't do sit to the point of fatigue, It's good 'fun and the family will love to ga- ther round and watch you do it, Clench the fists, Stand tall. Bend your elbows in at your N Ovary Kg Pus Symi, No woman has to be told that she is spreading amidships, LAN 3 J sides, Raise the knees high, first one, then the other, Increase this motion to running speed, remain. ing in a nearly stationary posi- tion, You're running fast while standing still, as it were, ¢ The' back.roll will reduce the rear, lower portions of the ana- tomy as well as the hips, Lie on our 'back on the floor. Lift your 'egs, see how far you can send them up.and over your head. Blender women of. athletic tenden- oles can do this stunt easily, toucaing the floor beyond the head with their toes, The wood-chopper's exercise has a slenderizing effect on ab- domen as well as 'hips. Clasp the hands above the head, bring them down between the knees, The feet should be placed ten inchés apart.

It has been calculated that 30 pounds of fat re- quire 25 miles of extra blood ves- sels, and this puts tremendous ad- ditional work on the heart, According to Dr. Richard A. Faust of New Orleans, many symp- toms which overweight persons have, though apparently due to heart disease, are actually caused by increased weight, fat around the heart, and interference with breathing, due to upward pressure on the diaphragm,by fat in the sbdomen or liver, The diaphragm is the large muscle that separates the abdomen from the chest, Affects Blood Presgure Overweight also affects the blood pressure, It is well known that high blpod pressure in obese persons of- ten may be reduced by a loss of weight, A less serious complication of overweight but one which inter- feres with comffrt is increased sweating, The extra fat under the skin interferes with the normal loss of heat through the skin and thus more" sweating to get rid of this extra heat occurs, Diabetes as well as gallstones oc curs much more often in those who are overweight. Complications of the delivery of the baby are more pregnancy as well as difficulties in likely to occur in overweight wo- men, Persons who are overweight do not withstand operations as well as those of normal weight. The actual mechanics of an operation are more difficult and sometimes almost im. possible in obese persons. Thus, in all operations which are not of an acute emergency nature, the pa- tient should be reduced to normal weight as nearly as possible before the operation is carried out, Persons who are overweight can- not afford to retain their burden of excessive fat, They should get rid of it as soon as possible. Of course, the best method of reducing is by ry | means of a restricted diet, employed under the direction of the physician, and it should not be a starvation diet. I have outlined such a diet and shall be glad to send this informa- tion to all those who will write, en- closing a large, self-addressed, stamped envelope.

It might be wise then to do a little hair conditioning. Permanents do not dry the precious wool as they did in the past but, even 80, certain attentions will put it in such a shape of = relaxation and the new undulation will be stronger, This' is the time for a spree with the hair brush and ap- plications of hot mineral ofl that has a kindly effect upon the growth and helps free the scalp of dead skin scales that may have collect ed, Spare twenty minutes on the night before the shampoo and your glorious thatch will be grateful. Use a narrow brush with bristles set in groups, Groom a strand at a time. Don't slap the brush down hard on the temples. Hair is al- ways thinnest there and some of those baby fuzzers may not sur- vive rough treatment. Part the hair at various places, trickle the + * oll along the partings--you can use a medicine dropper or a small ofl can for this purpose--and then give your dome a rousing old massage. It doesn't matter what kind of a permanent you get; all methods are good these days. The main need is to find a conscientious operator. The cold wave is more comfortable than the old-time methods, gives a curl closer to the scalp, But it takes more time usually, You may have decided on a change of hairdo that necessitates a bit of trimming and tapering. If 80, allow plenty of time for your appointment. Don't try to hurry the operator. Beauty questers who fly into a shop, expect to get out at a certain time, are likely to make an operator fussed so she doesn't do her best work. If you gef a wave set that de- lights your soul, have the same op- erator do it whenever you seek pro- fessional services, The hair will soon be trained, then will fafl into pleasing lines of its own accord. This World We Live In (By the Woman's Editor) One of the most frequently heard exclamations these -days is, "Oh, I'm not nearly ready for Christ- mas!" learns the speaker refers to Christ mas presents which are not yet wrapped, perhaps even not yet bought. Our preparation for Christ mas seems to centre largely--unless we are housewives and have to think of food--upon Christmas gifts. Is that really what Christmas should mean? The answer, it seems to us, depends on the spirit lying behind our gifts, on our remem- brance of the Gift. Just to refresh our minds of the significance of this great festival, it might be worth our while to read once again the Christmay narrative as told by Matthew Luke. Sometlyng else any of us who) have to"lo with children might like to read, is 'the following editorial which is now 40 years old but is n old at all, although dealers may tell you an article becomes an antique when it is 50 years old. Francis P, Church's letter in reply to Virgin ia O'Hanlon's question, "Is there a Santa Claus?" has become a classic, The writer could talk to children while not talking down to them. Thege days children still ask this question and a wise answer will lead them beyond themselves. Church's article originally ap- peared as an editorial in the New York Sun, Sept. 21, 1897. It is now found in some anthologies. It is as follows: "We take pleasure in answering at once and thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratifica- tion that its faithful author is num- bered among the friends of The Dear Editor: I am 8 years oM. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus, Papa says "If you see it in 'The Sun' it's so." Please tell me the truth, . is there a Santa Claus? VIRGINIA O'HANLON 115 West 95th Street, New York City. "Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Vir- ginla, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours man is a mere in- sect, an ant, in his intellect, as compared with the boundless world about 'him, as measured by the in- telligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy.. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Vir- ginias. There would be no chiMd- like faith, then, no poetry, no rom- ance, to make tolerable this exist- ence, We should have no enjoy- Upon inquiry, one usually | ed ment except in sense and sight, The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguish- "Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see, Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unseeable in the world. "You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise in- 98 | side, but there is a vell covering the unseen world which. not the strong- est men that ever lived could tear apart, Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that eurtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. "No Santa Claus! Thank God he lives, and he lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten times ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood." W. L.

By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECEMAN "Noel, Noel"...a Christmas-Carol Party Dear Mrs. Beeckman: On what day and at what hour is a Christmas Carol Party given? The other day I heard someone mention this kind of party, and although I had never heard of this before, I would like to consider giving one, for my family and I love to sing Christ- mas carols, Will you please tell me anything else about this kind of party? For example, what refresh- ments are served? Thank you, OC. EM. A Christmas-Carol Party--and it is a wonderful kind of party!--is usually given about five o'clock in the afternoon, or sometimes in the evening after dinner, of the day be- fore Christmas. As many relatives and friends are invited as you wish, and if the party is in the afternoon, e guests may be of all ages, The living room in which the tree stands already trimmed, is usually gaily de- corated with Christmas greens; the curtains at the windows are drawn; happily, there ts a fire in the fire- place; and very often, as the guests are arriving, the only other light in the room is from tall, festive, long- lasting Christmas candles dramati- cally placed around the room, When all the guests have arrived, the can- dles are lighted on the Christmas- tree; if there is a plano, someone is assigned to play for the carol-sing- ing, and if not, someone gives the pitch and the carols begin, (There are little paper-covered books of ca- rols that may be purchased very in- expensively; or the words of the ca- rols may be typed and distributed to the guests.) The refreshments may be tea and/or coffee and/or some festive drink, tiny sandwiches, often chicken or turkey and slices of fruit cake; and for thé children at the afternoon party hot cereal and milk, or creanied chicken, for older children, vanilla ice cream, cookies in Christmas-y shapes. Gifts to the Hostess: Week-end, Dinner Dear Mrs. Beeckman:' 1, When I am invited to a week- end visit of one night (Saturday night), should I take a gift for the hostess? 2. Is it necessary to take any kind of gift to every dinner to which you are invited? P. N. 1. This is a usual gesture, though nota necessary one, It may be such a simple gift. as a box of candy or a book or a group of current maga- zines; or it may be something more consequential, as the guest wishes. 2. No. Only dinners for certain oc~ casions suggest that guests bring gifts; for example, birthday dinner, wedding anniversaries, and so forth. Widow's Name in the Telephone Direc Dear Mrs, Beeckman: Our telephone has always been listed in my husband's name. Two months ago my husband died, and now I am wondering how I should list my name in the next telephone directory, Should I request the list~ ing "Mrs. Mary Field" (for example) or "Mrs, John Henry Field?" .
