~We ore wasting money trying

require extra time of téachers and
repeat grades. This is expensive
stupidity, but its. immediate. cost
to our~ educational system is as
nothing. compared to its: ultimate
eost to the nation. Something like

is our greatest producer of illhealth. SLike nearlv fresh fish, a

for their suverb acting ability.
Charlotte, no longer yourg,.can

Oldsters say that. Ethel, when she

did a dance that made her. long
legs the talk of the town. They were
pretty and slender and she moved
them with exquisite giace

Though a girl may not be tall,
still she should endeavor to cultivate the lone thigh line, a neat
curve from hip to knee. Foundation garments are designed to. produce this effect. so necessary to
the chic silhouette. Though skirts
cf many evening robes are bouffant
to the extreme~yards and yards

sheuth-lke to the knees, then

have a slim waist, gradually slanting. hips, trim thighs, This may

- Jon. never. sought a bask in

sue. We should be thankful for
that.

Designers help to prométe the
long thigh effect by creating closely fitted, bodices with lines that
give the appearance of a smal!
waist,. by making the robe extremely long, continuing the snug
fit over the hips, then letting tee
skirt live its own life. No cross |
Ines other than the tiniest belt. |

Well-fitted undies are essential

specially if the fabric of the gown;~

is thin, There shouldn~t be a rip- |
rie jn the under fabrics. Many
women of fashion have slips and
panties made to order, so snug
they~re just able to pack themselves into them. That, of course,
is the height of something or other.
It must make them feel rich and
indulgent.

CAN BE REDUCED

New. foundation garments confine the flesh where it is more
rebust than the laws of beauty
allow, yet give untrammeled freedom of movement. When vou make
a selection, find a fitter who
knaws her business. The correct
model is the making of @ woman~s
shape.

Heavy thighs can be ichacsed by
exercise, if the candidate for slenderness will do them regularly. One:
ctand with hands on hips, lift the
right leg at the side, as high as
~you can raise it~ without losing
your balance. When the foot returns to first. position, snap it
against the foot that is on the
flocr. Ten times with the right
icot,~ then with the jeft and repeat.

Two: hands on hips,.up on your
tees. scuat. resting the buttocks
on the heels. ~Still on the toes, réturn to first position. Forty times
night and morning.
