Walk Tiptoe hat the years will not tr-at her If she is no longer interested in the make-up box, she is slipping. If every few years she gets dresses a size larger, she is really on the down grade. amidships, bulging hips bent shoulders and slow movements are more distressing give-aways of accumulated birthdays than facial seams and silvered topknots. This is just too bad, considering that, with proper exercise ana due regard for diet, the feminine frame can retain youthful contour and grace of movement. Women whe started in their young days to be interested in physical educetion who have been ever' ful of the charm of erect carriage, aren't afraid A woman of seventy can slip off ten years, *> oP of the report of the bathroom scales. No rounded shoulders will be lugged around by these wise girls, They have kept their hack and shoulder muscleg strong. Strenuous exercise ig not for mid- dle-age, or is if n ary. But there should be a certain am.unt of muscle-workout each day. Walk- ing on the toes will help keep fat cells from making calves and thighs larger. Walk on tip-toe whenever you are going upstairs, Mrs. Forty. Whenever you have a few minutes to spare, stand erect, lift up on the joes very slowly, come down on the eels, Crosby Hall, Royal Residence, Slave Market, Now Houses Grads By BETTY ROSAMOND The 15-year-old black girl stood alone, dumb before the next move of an unpredictable fate. She was for sale. Around her, visitors to the public mart in Crosby Hall in the City of London in the year 1678 assessed her potentialities in just the same way as they did those of the furni- ture, woollens, and sundry odds and | pieces, ends. "Will she work hard? Will she eat much?" pondered the mistress in search of a dawn-to-dusk slavey for the kitchen. No one cried aloud at this viola- tion of human dignity. The fana- tics and the "pale shrimps of mez" had a hundred years' agitation to wage before public opinion could be awakened to the realimation that mankind is born to freedom and not to the degradation of a com- mon market. Tlustrious Tenants If any regrets marred this colour- ful noisy scene, they were only that Crosby Hall, the former gathering place of kings and queens, should have so come down in the world. Erected in 1468 by Sir John Cros- by, rich wool merchant and Mem- ber of Parliament, as a town resi- dence, Crosby Hall was later ten- anted by the sinister Wicked Uncle, Richard III, who is alleged to have arranged for the disappearance of his two nephews in the nearby Tower of London. In 1523 the mansion of Crosby Place was purchased by Sir Thomas More, the Lord Chancellor, later to die at the stake. Illustrious tenants followed down through the years, but soon after the Great Fire of 1666 the hall was never used again as a residential mansion In 1678 it was being used for pub- lic sales; in 1839 it was loaned for a bazaar for the benefit of women prisoners and convicts, presided over by the famous reformer Eliza- beth Fry herself. drug furs, rugs and 5 BERLOU irre: Stone by Stone Its end, however, seemed near when, in 1907, the Hall, then being used as a restaurant, was sold to make way for a bank. But, thanks to the efforts of pub- lic-spirited men and women, who formed themselves into the Univer- sity and City Association, the anc- ient fabric was saved, taken -to and re-erected stone by stone at Chelsea in the garden of a former home of Sir Thomas More, overlooking the River Thames. During the 1914-18 war the hall housed refugees from Belgium, and in 1927 it was declared, with its newly erected residential wing, by HM. the Queen, then Duchess of York, to be an international club house and residence for university women of all nations. 'The oak refectory tables were laid ready. for dinner in this lofty hall as I stood in the minstrels' gal- lery recently. Above was the su- perbly carved ceiling that had look~ ed d through the ages on the cavalcade of history. Through the glass windows of the vaulted oriel window filtered the pale spring sun- shine. On one stone wall was draped a 17th century tapestry said to have belonged to a former King of Poland. Soon those seats at the table were to be filled by women of all aations from all parts of the world. Women free, women contributing a most significant quota to the hap- piness and betterment of the hu- man race. As I stood by the reception desk in the new building watching the arrival of a very soignee Australian graduate (she had such a becoming hat), my eyes glanced over the no- tice board. Clever Women The names: "Jensen, Nanarutty, Damgaard, Lionaes," witnessed to the true internationality of this centre. The varied activities of the residents were proof of the emanci- pation of women. . In the years 1927 to 1939, grad- uates associated with Crosby Hall were Dean Virginia Gildersleeve, of Columbia University, later to be the only woman member of the United States delegation to the San Francisco Conference; Professor Lise Meitner, outstanding for her contribution to the development of atomic energy; and Dr. Harriette Chick, one of the pioneers in vita- min research. What has the future in store for the world's clever women now studying and exchanging ideas in this famous old hall? There is modest and gentle Ag- nete Damgaard, of Skoldsgade 56, Esbjerg, Denmark, studying astro- physics at University College, Lon- don, There is Professor E. D, Ait- ken, of Hayuersot University Col~ lege, Wellington, South Africa, here with a Carnegie fellowship, to study educational methods at the Univer- sity of London. It 1§ a moving experience to Tired and irritable? A Physician Advises You WATCH FOR CANCER SIGNS WE are making real progress in cancer control and can say today with great confidence that early cancer is curable. But in order to cure cancer, it must be discovered early. Although cancer has been studied by many scientists for many years and is the object of much of today's research, it is still true that the only successful way of treating it is to remove or destroy the cancer- ous tissues completely. In One Place The best chance of doing this is while the cancer is all in one place, before metastasis occurs. We say a cancer has metastasized when some of the cancer cells have been carried by blood or lymph to other parts of the body to set up mew cancers in these locations. This does not usually occur in the early stages of the disease and that is why we say early cancer is curable. Take breast cancer for example. According to Dr. Eugene P, Pender~ grass of Pennsylvania, the patient herself is the first line of defense against breast cancer. It is her job to watch for those signs of cancer which can be seen or felt, such as a lump in the breast, and to consult a doctor immediately if she notes any of them. Whether or not a woman has signs or evidence of cancer she could have an examina- tion made by her doctor regularly every six months. It is suggested by Dr. Pender- grass that any woman past 35 years of age should examine her breasts for cancer signs once a month. These signs include a lump in the breast, any deformity of the breast, such as attachment of the skin to the tissues underneath. This causes a slight depression of the skin. Other signs are retraction or pull- ing-in of the nipple, bleeding or & discolored discharge from the nip- ple, and enlargement of the lymph glands in the armpit. Because many of these signs may indicate some condition other than cancer, a woman should not he overcome with fear if one of them is discovered. In fact, no one should fear cancer but rather remember that, if the condition is diagnosed early enough, it can be cured. How=- ever, lack of fear should not mean carelessness or keep patients from consulting the doctor at once if suspicious signs are present. Only the physician can make an accurate diagnosis. If the condition is not cancerous the patient's mind will be put at rest. If it is can- cerous, no time will be lost in secur- ing proper treatment. Pain, as a rule, is either a symp- tom of late cancer or of some other abnormal condition. If a woman has a lump in her breast, she should not wait until pain develops to have an examination made. By then it may be too late. stand in the ancient hall, and to contemplate the progress of civil- ization from the time the little black girl stood in the market for- lorn and alone unto the present day, when women everywhere are taking an active and increasingly important share in the manage- ment and betterment of the world.

J GLAMORIZING -- Clean Your Nails Carefully By HELEN FOLLETT Scrubbing with a good nail brush is an excellent way to get nails really clean, J J ALTHOUGH we shouldn't tell it, a manicurist tells us that some of the cash customers are not as fussy as they might be about the care of their talons, covering up neglect with the rosy polish, not passing the orange wood stick under the nail eaves once or twice a day, a practice that should never be side- stepped. Germs may be lurking there to be transferred to the skin or the lips where they can set up housekeeping and do mischief. Scrubbing with a good nail brush is an excellent way to clean the nails. It is especially necessary for the boss of the domestic works. to keep her coral finger sheaths in splendid condition, She handles food and the careless cook, like' the cas- ual dish washer; can hand along bacteria that brings sickness into the family circle. Creaming the nails, keeping them L J beautifully clean, means that they will retain their pristine coloring and the surrounding tissues will not cling, break and form hangnails. Believe it, or doubt it, but neglected pink shells will look old and for- lorn as will hands that do not have proper attention. If you have a buffer left over from the remote period before li- quid polish struck the popular fancy, use it freely on your nails before you apply a cuticle cream at bedtime, The buffer will act as a massage agent. It will stimulate the underlying blood streams that give pleasing coloring to the nails. It will help keep the malrix in a healthy state. From the matrix emerge tiny over-lapping cells that create the new nail fabric. You'll find some lovely new shades of polish among the spring offerings. It will be worth your while to give them a look-see. J struggle of helping to rebuild the broken places.

M. Hutchinson, is slated for conversion to the screen, Too often these writers have a macabre holiday with butcher knives in their hands when they go to work on a perfectly fine novel and the result is enough to make you either stop reading or going Noted example of rational treat- ment to a classic story was the cel- luloid version of "The Razor's Bdge" but it was a too rare excep- tion to the general format. Here's hoping they let winter come all by itself. Slated for lead roles in the screen version are Walter Pidgeon and Deborah Kerr. The story concerns a soldier, wounded in battle, who returns only to be charged with infidelity by his wife and who is sued for divorce All but broken by the injustices heaped on him, Mark Sabre (Wal- ter Pidgeon) finds happiness in the affection of a woman he has known and loved since youth. The fact she is the bride of another thickens the plot to a pliable consistency and makes the resulting events strictly for adult entertainment. Like Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd doesn't make a movie often, but when he does it is usually qual- ity material.

WHAT SHOULD I DO ABOUT -- Wearing Orchid On Raincoat? By MRS. CORNELIUS BEECKMAN Dear Mrs, Beeckman: Would it be proper to wear an orchid on a dressy black raincoat, on a cloudy day that is threaten- ing rain? L.D. If you want to have fun wear- ing an orchid as a "prophecy of sunshine" on a rain-threatening day, why bother with the stuffy idea that it's a formal flower? Wear it as if it wer. a "rainbow on your shoulder!" Stork Shower Correct Also For Baby Number 4 Dear Mrs. Beeckman: We are a group of five women who would like very much to give a shower for a dear friend of ours who is going to have her fourth baby. She has lived in our town only two years, but we all have come to love and admire her, and to be practical, we rea- lize that a baby shower would undoubtc dy be a help to her, for we are quite sure that her bud- get isn't a very "flush" ome. But two women who are close friends of ours and of this mother-to-be insist that a stork shower is per- missible only for the first baby. Are they right about this? Five Friends No. You and your friends have the right idea: in the first place it'n entirely proper to give a stork shower for Baby Number 4, just as for the first baby; and in the second place this baby show- er would be, ag you and your group of friends feel, a particul- arly practical and to be-welcomed plan in this circumstance. Best Form For Bridegroom And Best Man To Enter Church From Vestry Door Dear Mrs. Beeckman: Is it ever permissible for a bride to walk up the church aisle with the best man, the bride- groom walking with the maid of honor? At an informal wedding I attended the other day this was the procedure, In this case the bride's mother and father are living, and she also has brothers and other close relatives. Would this have been proper if both her parents were dead and she had no relatives? I have always been under the impression that it ig proper for the bridegroom and best man to b iting at the altar, rather than to walk down the aisle, Am I right or wrong about this? AK. You are right , . , it is correct form, customary procedure, in any type of wedding in church, for the bridegroom and best man to come into the church from the vestry door at the right-front. In an informal church wedding the maid of honor may come up the aisle first alone and then the bride on the right arm of her fa- ther or whoever is to give her in marriage. Or she may walk alone, or with her attendant. Or if the church aisle is a long one and there are to be only a few guests, the bride may enter from the side door at the left of the altar, eith- er alone following her maid of honor, or with her father or other male escort, or with her maid of honor, She May Have A Bridal Cake At Her Second Wedding Dear Mrs. Beeckman: My first marriage was at an Army camp .., no "fuss and feathers" and, alas, no wedding cake, You may wonder why I par- ticularly mention the wedding cake . , . it's because it hag al. ways been my dream to have a wedding cake, to cut the first slice and share it with my bride- groom. Now I've been divoreed for two years, I'm going to marry a wonderful man, and . , , at our small very informal wedding at my parents' home, I want to have a wedding cake. But several of my friends have told me "No, this is 'only for the bride-for-the first-time." Please say this isn't true, Norine Indeed this isn't true, I'm happy to make you happy by say- ing that you can have your "dream come true" , , you can have your bridal cake, white cake, iced In white, in two lay- ers if you wish, and crowned with the dressed-for-the-wed- ding figures of the bride and bridegroom, Or it may be one of the now very popular type, one layer iced elaborately with white accents and pas* 1 pink or yel- low. Or a cake in the form of a wedding ring, or of two hearts joined together.

She can't wait to try out new de- corating ideas on her home. Her hair styles change with the dictates of fashion. But it has been years since she has consciously done anything to brighten up the pattern of her mér- riage--which by now is pretty dull and drab And there are thousands of wo- men like her. They create a pattern for living in the first few years of married life and never bother to change or improve upon it. They know the right touches of color can brighten up a living room. But they don't see that the right touches can keep a marriage from growing dull and commonplace. It too, hag to be brightened up occa- sionally with a new shared interest perhaps, or with new and stimulat- ing friends, or with the setting of some goal toward which both hus- band and wife can work. Keep Up To Date A marriage has to be kept "up to date," too. Five years ago when her children were little and her hus- band's inccme small, the marriage wag pretty much set to one pattern from necessity. But a husband's advancement in his work and a wife's release from the constant care of children offers an opportunity for changing the pattern, This is the time for more and varied companionship, for wi- der interests, and for more ambi- tious planning.
