rclle Top Roll

By ldis Jean Kain

vlpring . . . Spring . . . SPRINGI LAt'I pull out of the winter plump. At this season one's figure is apt to look soft around the edges.; The waist has lost its clearly defined. snug contour. and there is likely to be a lax, girdlc top roll. The lateral muscles which bound the sides of the silhouette tend to lose tone. We habitually use some muscles over and over

and leave others untouched and; seemingly dead. i iEase into exercise by stretch-I log and bending through a single Iecord. Music stirs up the life blood. quickens energy and lifts the spirit. So turn on the music. and s-t-r-e-t-c-h. Make it a storm smooth elongated stretch.

bend:

Sianding with feet well apart. place left hand on ihighline. bal- lerina style. and arch right arm overhead. Bend smoothly side- wards . . . and hold the side- bend. Picture the way you want your waist . smooth. slim. svelte. Three times will be ample if you hold the movement at the height of the stretch-bend.

To banish the girdle top roll. execute a quarter twist at. the waistline. and stretch and bend from that angle. Here it is . . .

Standing, with feet well apart. arms stretched overhead. The ac- tion is to twist at the waist. but only a quarter of the way around. Hold the twist and bend to the sideback. pulling smoothly. Then. still holding the quarter turn at the waist. bend forward at that angle. As you can see, this helps to pull out fore and aft bulges. Do a quarter twist in the other direction. and bend sidehack. then sirlcforward. At the height of the exercise, hold the movement.

Stop exercise when you feel pleasantly tired. At this season there is a tendency to overdo. To- morrow you should feel better and more alive for having exercised today.

MARY IAWOB'I'I'8 MAIL

.....,......m Wiclower Says He's Too Old To Remarry

DEAR MARY HAWORTH: Af- ter having been a widow for four years. I have grown to care very much for an older man whom I have known all my life. But the question is whether there is too much difference in our ages to permit worthwhile mar- riage. John says he is afraid that he will grow old too soon.

I am 46 and John is M. a dif- ference of 18 years, you see. He lost his wife six years ago and has no children. After the death of my husband I went back to work. I have two lovely daughters. The elder, 19. is now away in col- lege; and the younger. 15, is in high school here.

John is as fine a man as you could ever meet. Our likes and dislikes are the same, and our families are very congenial. He is fi ' lly independent. so we forsee no problem there. If we marry. it would necessitate my pulling up stakes. and going to live in his city. But I believe my girls would make the adjustment.

Would it be better for us to con- tinue to be just friends? Or should we avail ourselves of ha,piness in marriage now. While we can. and refuse to worry about the future? Your comment will be much appreciated. D. Y.

Man Iii Jaded By Solitude

DEAR D. Y.: It has been said, waggishly but with truth. that a woman is as old as she looks. and a man as old as he feels. Thus John. at 64. could be older or younger than his calendar age. in terms of mental attitudes and vi- tality.

As for his present complaint.. that he fears he will grow old too soon as compared to you. I think we ought to remind him that creaky pessimism is a byproduct of living alone in later life. And by the same token. marriage for love in autumnal years tends to stablize health and promote a hap- py outlook. ,

Presumably John has lived alone the past six years. since losing his wife. Or at any rate. in an arrangement where he isn't a featured person in a family re- '---' ” I , '”y involved in a meaningful ius:sCTIaDge of de- votion. This kind of emotional isolation from people after middle age tends to undermine the Widowed individual's morale - causing him for her) to feel closer to death than to the living,

For Whom Is Mari Concerned?

I would guess that something of the sort is giving John pause about marrying you-fearful that he might be a disappointing bride- groom. But if you are strongly in favor of being his wife. due to a wealth of shared affections, and if he is thinking twice purely out of concern for you, then I'd say

A pretty wedding was solem- nized at Zion Manse on Febru- ary 25 when Joan Elizabeth. dough" ter of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Lewis of Charlottetown. was united in marriage to James Walter. son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Walker. Charlottetown. The Rev. Harold Brown officiated.

The bride chose a navy blue gabardlne suit with navy and white lCCC85Dl'lca and a corsage

that he ought to let you win the argument.

However. there is a possibility that John doesn't too much mind his latterday set-up. By now he may feel comfortably habituated to s self-reliant routine. Imagin- atively he may shrink from trad- ing his quiet self-indulgent pat- tern for a bustling schedule that embraces a new wife and two big stepdaughters.

He may figure that things would be easier for all concerned if your daughters were grown and married; and having had no chil- dren of his own. he may reflect that he has no aptitude tand per- haps no taste) for the father-role. So he may prefer to drift indef- initely as your friend.

If such is his private slant, it would be unwise to cajole him in- to double harness. Although to- tal immersion in family life might be wonderfully good for him, he'd probably be blind to the benefits if he felt roped in- as If he hadn't promoted the deal. So. for advice-I think you'll have to explore his views again. quite carefully, to learn which brand of caution you are dealing with.

"Mummy. why do some people object to having children in their house?" asked little Elsie.

"I don't know," her mother ans- wered sharply. "and I can't be bothered with such things now. Go and see what baby's crying about, tell Billy to stop aiming that cata- pult at the ornaments .on the mantelpiece, make Betty and Johnny stop sliding down the ban- isters. and tell Willie that if he doesn't stop blowing that trumpet I'll take it away from him. Go on. hurry up! And don't let me have to repeat it as usual.' '

BEEF STEAK SALJTE FROM THE CHEF

If cooking a sirloin steak. order it out at least 1" thick. Slash fat at edge in several places no meat will lie flat.

Heat enough butter in a heavy skillet barely to cover bottom. Put in steak and fast brown. Dust-with plain salt or onion salt, a little pepper and monosodium gluta- mate.

Turn to brown other side; then season and cook more slowly. Turn once again. Allow 15 min. altogether for medium rare steak. Dot with a little butter and let stand until it melts. or top with slices of maitre d'hotel butter.

ELLEht'S

A quiet leisurely day this Wis for us. until James came in dur ing the afternoon with a of saving. "Put it in the c off the dark room so I'll know exactly where to put my hands on it. if I want it in a hurry" he said. which brounht us to a spell of tidying baton we would add anything more to the miscellany already saved there. After school Granddaughter came up the stairs to Join us.

And "What's this?" she queri- ed. That was the lamp from the front anuy. a quaint thing of cloudy glass and brass. We had forgotten for the moment that she had been only a little girl when it was taken down and replaced by s new magic light.

"And whatever is thls?'--' That was the tall stone Jar which in the years of home dalryihg at Alderles”. held the collections of churning cream. Pretty in its soft shades of ivory and golden- brown. quaint in shape. truly to some. now a collector”: item, but we recalled quite heavy to lift when filled. to the churn. . Sometimes water was brought from the spring in the field across the creek to wash the butter. Should we take time to tell the child these nice old tales? Not now. with all this to tidy. some other day. Perhaps after all. there was more poetry for her in the sight of shiny taps.
