KEEP IN TRIM

Waist ls Weight Barometer

HIIIAJIIIKIII

If you hate a favorite. skirt. the waist band of which fits snug and right when your waist is trim. but a mite Iii:)it. the minute the pounds spill iiti-r. use hat skirt as your weight barometer. .lust two pounds can add a full half inch to the waist measure. particularly on the short Vtaisted gal.

So when the figure begins to get a bit soft at the boundary lines, right then is the time to lake firm nicastircs, The waist is not only a likely spot for fat to

homestead, hut the most con- apiciious. Once tone is t'cstorc(l to the

middle muscle area. you Utlll feel svelte and lithe. and yoiilll feel like pulling your posture tip out of the dumps. Then there will be no slump at the waist . . . happy days!

Here is a trio of easy exercises that will work wonders in a single week. Try them and see. . .

Today": exercises are old fav- orites, but this time. put the em- phasis on the upstretch rather than

on tho down bend.

Position: Stand on kneel. than sit back on heels. Arms are out at sides, shoulder lavel.

Movement: Bending sidewardn to the right. aim at touching fin- ger: of right hand to floor at side, but areas the upward stretch of the left hand, Feel the pull all along the left side. Then bend to left, touching fingers to floor at left side, but again emphasize the upstretch. Half a dozen smooth. slow, stretclt-bends will do for a starter.

t Progress by doing this same exercise from a position of stand- ing on knees. Keep on the pos- yture beam by first pulling: snugly iup-and-in with the abdominal lmuscles and contracting with the hip muscles. As you bend to ,touch fingers to floor, reach for tlie ceiling with the other hand.

('inch iii the waist with the fam- iliar uliirter . . . l l"ositioll' sitting on floor, legs inutstretchcd. arms out at sides, lshoulder level.

i Movement: Using waist as pivot, twist gently to the right. and 'reaching forward. touch left tin- gcrs to outstretched right toes. l)on't cruiiiple through the mid- die or all slitnniing bets are off.

'Straighten up, twist at waist to ,lcft. and repeat. With daily exercise yoti can

,i.-lim a full inch of your waist in ten days - and that skirt baud twill fit like a charm.

All dreams of glory aren't mu. cerned with great accomplish- ments. as writing a first novel that becomes a best seller or as Wlltnintz a prize for painting.

For many humemakers, if we

friends, there's many who dream of accomplishing little things - things that could and should be done, if only we had more time,

Many of these tasks are not things that really have to be done. Rather theylre jobs which. once really tackled. seldom if ever have to be re-done. But they are jobs that make everyday liv- ing immeasurably caster. more pleasant. or even more luxurious. Dresser Drawers

Maybe you once caught. I glimpse inside of the dresser drawers of a friend and have ever since envied her the permanently bright and washable lining. She put it in herself you know and you could do the same. do even a better job maybe. if only you would! If you do get at it instead

You might often hate tliottght of how won- derfiil it would be if there were soaps inside your dresses and blouses for shoitlder pads and shields that could be easily re- moved and replaced for washing. This job you could do, too, if only you would. Replacing Buttons

Every time you've needed to replace a button for the past, four or five years you've thought how much easier this simple chore would be if your collection of but- tons were not such a jumble. But you never think of it until you need to sew on a button and then it: usually a hurry-up job, The

"Come. see the poplar leaves!” Granddaughter begged from the front verandah. She had come by after supper. skipping rope in hand, and there counting skips she tried to outdo her previous re- cord at the pastime while she awaited the moment when she must go to join her mother It the dish-washing. Of all meal- times. this is the only one in which she is obliged to join. "Not that I enjoy it” she chuckled I month or so ago when the new law was passed. "but then I guess no girl my age does, And", she nodded "if I must. I must!” "Isn't it strange?" she said pausing in her skipping to regard the twinkling leaves. "There's not one breath of wind blowing. and still the leaves move. Now,"
