Sn i 5 hi ah Standing Tall Helps Health Correct Posture While Walk ing, Sitting Makes You Feel, Look Better Authorities .agreo that walking, standing and sitting correctly will make any girl feel as well as look, better. If you doubt this, make a simple test. Just let your shoulders sag, pull your head back into the collar of your coat -- in fact, allow all of your body to slump, then walk for a few minutes, Now lift your chest, hold shoulders up and back straight, but not exaggerated: ly so, carry head high--in other words, assume a perfoct posture, At the end of the second walk, stop then walk another few minutes, and analyze your reactions during that time. = No matter how nice your clothes, you felt slightly down-trodden, during the first half of the walk, didn't you? During the latter half, your spirits as well as your chest and head seemed to bo up- lifted, too, didn't they? It's a well-known fact that bad seated posture produces fatigue rather quickly. [t's important that you sit far back in the chair with end of spine (not necessarily shoul: ders) touching the back of the chair. Stomach will then be up and in. Feet should be placed fiat on the floor. When you stand, try to Keep backbone in as straight a line as possible with chest high, stomach in and head up. It's possible to stand with weight on one foot without throwing the body out of balance or having the hip on the opposite side stick out. Practice shifting your weight from ono foot to the other.

CHAPTER II As they sat down, out of sight, Darcy moved into view and iounged disconsolately against the wall. The dance over, Bingley joined him. "Come, Darcy," he remarked. "I hate to see you stalking about by yourself in this stupid way. Why don't you dance? The place is full of pretty girls." Elzabeth and Charlotte, hid- den in the alcove, but completely within hearing of the conversa- tion, exchanged glances. "I've only seen one -- and you've monopolized her," Darcy replied. . "Isn't Miss Jane lovely!" Bing- ley said happily. "But there's that sister of hers--Miss Eliz- abeth. They say she has a lively wit." "A provincial young lady with a lively wit!" Darcy exclaimed. "Heaven preserve us! And that mother of hers--"" "It's not the mother you have to dance with, Darcy," Bingley interrupted. "It's the daughter. She's charming." "Oh, I admit she's tolerable enough -- (onsidering the class she comes from." Davey shrug- ged as they started to away, "But I'm in no humor for low life this evening." Elizabeth rose from her chair and peered out after them. "Well ---what a charming man!' She set her mouth angrily and fan- ned bnerself to cool her temper. "You mustn't be offended, Lizzy," Charlotte . consoled.. "He didn't know you could hear." "What difference does that make?" demanded Elizabeth furi- ously. "It's not my hearing that matters -- it's the fact that he said it! The complacent, self- satisfied - arrogance of the man! Oh, it makes me so angry!" A young man advanced. claimed Charlotte for the next dance. Elizabeth took a scat along the wall. In another moment, Sir William approached with = Mr. LR "l Beg To Be Excused" "Miss Elizabeth," beamed Sir William, "may I have the honor to present Mr. Darcy? He is eag- er to invite you to dance." Darcy smiled at her. "Now that you have been forwarned of my cagerness to dance with you, may I hope you will do me the honor." Flizabeth smiled back cooly. "I'm afraid the honor of stand- ing up with you is more than I could bear, Mr. Darcy. Pray ex- cuse me." He stared at her in amaze- ment. "Are you saying you don't cara to dance with me, Miss Ben- net?" Elizabeth's smile gave way to stony. pride. "I'm begging to he excused, sir." "It's my loss, I'm sure," swered coldly. "You perhaps know best about that, sir," was her calm rejoiner. At that mement, Mr, Wickman, Lydia's officer, appeared. He greeted Elizabeth, then. turned to Dasey with smiling good humor. he an.

"The man must be mad," she said. "Mad?" Wickham smiled. "You're too charitable, Miss Eliz- abeth. If you were better quainted with him, you would' see another man."

This Is good news for mothers, who must feel like smart managers when they take off a child's soiled pinafore and disclose a cleanly dressed--little girl ready for company or for supper with the family. Pinafores can be bought separately, to wear over any dress, or they come with dresses in at- tractive 'combinations of fabrics, Particularly practical are the navy, brown or wine pinafores that come separately, Then there are. count. less dresses in the 2-to-6 age range, and algo in the 7-to-12 group, in washable cottons in, solid colors, with striped pinafores repeating In the stripe tho color of the dress. It is naturally more practical to have the pinafore of the striped material, as stripes show spots less than solid colors do. AND JUMPER DRESSES Jumper dresses are-in vogue in small sizes, too, Some are of lav- ender washable cotton, with lav. ender-and- white striped shirting waléts, The 'dresses are cut. prin cess stylé with fullness in the 'back, a new note, or have skirts that are full all the way arofind.

Use Shortcuts When Sewing No Need To Do Everything The Hard Way Sew rickrack to the underside of the hem of pillowcases or other articles which you intend to decor- ate with a hand-crocheted edge. Ar- range the rickrack In such a way that only a bit of the points will show 'on the right side. When cro- "cheling catch the hook into "the points instead of into the mater- "jal. When the article wears out, it is then easier to rip off the rickrack braid and use the hand-made lace in something else. WRONG SIDE OF PATCHES When patching use garments made of washable prints; use the wrong side of the new patch in- stead of the right side. Such a patch is less noticeable since it matches more nearly the somewhat faded material. To Insure an even hem on nap- kins use the hemmer of tho desir- ed width on the sewing machine. Do not thread the séwing machine needle, This will fold in the hem evenly and it will then be Yeady for hand sewing.- When cutting anything from. wy yeot, pin the pattern to the wrong. side of tho velvet and the velvet will be easler to cut..

Social Justice Should Be Our Post-War Aim Writer of Poem King George Quoted In His New Year's Ad- dress Speaks to Canadian University Women ¢ Aim of' governments after the war must be for social justice, Miss M. Louise Haskins, of Banff, Alta, formerly ot London, England, sald in addressing the triennial conven. tion at Calgary of the Canadian Federation of University Women's Clubs. Miss Haskins, who became fam- ous when the words of a poem she wrote some years ago were quoted by His Majesty in his New Year's radlo address, held that the charac- ter of general government which whl come after the war may be show to emerge but its nucleus should appear in terms of a peace treaty. HEALTH BIG PROBLEM The former London School of Economics staff member sald that certain necessities of the post-war world could be forecast. The world would face after the war most of the conditions of the last war but those conditions would be in- tensified, with tho most serious problems those of health. Any remaining luxuries of life must be strictly curtailed as long as the vital needs of good health were unfilled, and housing pro- jects would be a part of the health scheme, she believed. Great private fortunes would not have a part in tho post-war world, she predicted. Why Children, Enjoy Noise Children like noise because-the instincts of the primitive man who is born again in all of us have not yet been subdued by training or teaching. All prim- ---itive-ones like noise, and the rea- son for that is perhaps that the carly men they were afraid: of solitude and silence. They raised their voices partly to raise their spirits and partly to frighten away the evil spirits they feared so much, STRIKING DRESS WITH TURBAN By ANNE ADAMS A striking ensemble like Pat- tern 4512, by Anne Adams is in- dispensable, The colorful turban, cut in just two pieces, is a fash- ion "headling"., The dress is strikingly. simple, with a to-the- waist back buttoning'. . a high, round neckline and a panelled skirt.
