The Women's Institutes in South- ern Rhodesia are flourishing. The first branch. Essexvaie and Balls, Balls, held a. picnic recently in thei Matopos, where Cecil Rhodes ls bur-i isd. The picnic spot was close to, ths site of the famous “Indabafl or~ ‘fTalking Placs" which ended ths Ma- ' p tabeis Rebellion in 1807. To show how very recent is the time, when this country was wild, and savage! natives wsnt about murdering thei few white folk, the husband of chef chairman, Mrs. Richardson, was the‘ man who went out alone, night after night, into the Matopos, to try io got ths "indunns" tomakc peace. La- ter ths courageous Cecil Rhodes. ac- companied only by Col. Colenbrand- er, did discuss pcacs terms. The site was also near Umugulu, one of the rebellion battle fields, where many were killed on both sides. And to- day, thirty-two years after, ths Wo- men's Institutes are firmly establish- ed. They are taking up child wel- fare and public. health, the Umtaii branch having secured o. district nurse. They have organized a fed- eration and are marching steadily forward under the universal Wo- men's Institute motto “For Home and Country.”

THE “MODEBIW FIGURE .

There has been a great deal oi talk in recent years about the "modern" feminine figure. Borne people seem to think it possible for women to change the type of their figures from ons generation to the next. Fashions in clothes give color to this illusion; psnnisrs. bustlss and tight bssquss made the waist seem small and ths hips largo in proportion. Corsets r squeezed the figure together in tho i '.' middle. Rufiles made the bust ssem large; tight brassieres made it seem fiat. Through all these hangs! in feminine ideals of beauty, Old Mother Nature goes on producing the normal typo of body that is suitable for per- forming its functions in life. Stud- ents cl’ biology know what the aver- age woman seems to have forgotten. namely, that it takes ages oi’ time for variations oi’ bodily structure to be-i come established.

Yet some of my readers write to ask how to develop a “modern figure" without bust or hips. This is im- possible. There is a. type 0t figure. however, that is normal and that may also be called “modern? This ls the strong, lithe, athletic figure of the girl who enjoys outdoor sports: there is no flabbiness about it; the muscles are firm and the contour graceful. This may be acquired.

The so-called “modern figure" with its straight, boyish lines is an im-

The Fact That a Man Can Date a Girl is no Sign That She Loves Him, but if She Watches His Health and Takes Care of His Pocketbook it is Time to Buy the Ring

A young man wants to know how to tell whether a. girl is in love with ‘ him or not. Well, son, you can't absolutely. There is no infallible test; that you can apply to a girl's affection that will unmistakably register its precise degree of warmth and let you know whether it is at fever heat or subno his]. In the snd you have to take her word for the statccf her heart. and you ‘can't always believe even that. You see, women have played at the love game for so many centuries that they have become adapts at it. Their bread and butter, and cakes and ale, have depended on their making men believe what they. wanted them to believe, and they have developed such finesse in simulating love, and hiding love, that it is not easy for s. man to tell when they are leading from a full hand or merely biufling.

cause in these petting-party days most young women's lips are on the bargain‘ counter and are givemto every Tom, Dick and Harry in exchange for a joy ride, or n ticket to the movies.

However. in spite of all this, there are certain signs of love by which s maiden unconsciously reveals her real feelings toward a. man and which should enable any astute youth to judge how he stands with her, and whether she looks upon him as her Prince Charming, or merely as a joy ride, or s. meal ticket. . ' ' As the first straw which shows which way the wind of a. girl's atIec- tions blow observe whether she brightens up at your approach, or nails on her face the smile that won't come off. Observe whether, when you take her to places she keeps up a desultory conversation with you, but becomes full of pep when some other man approaches, and whether she gives you just enough dances to pay you decently for the money you have spent on her. and give her o reasonable assurance that you will take her out again.

No girl ever fails in love with s. man who bores her, and dull and stupid or bcsctted with vanity must the youth be who cannot tell whether a woman really enjoys his society, or just endures him because he is an easy mark and a. good thing.

‘The next sign of love that a. girl gives is when she begins to manifest the fireside companion complex. As long as a girl comes down with her hat on when c. young man calls she is not in love. she is looking upon him merely as a purveyor of amusement. He is only a. means to an end and any other ‘man with the price in his pocket would do lust as weii- She wants to dance. or to go to the theatre, to be in the crowds in the bright lights,

Whenshc fails in love she wants to gegregate her man and monopolize him. She wants to get him away from [other women who may be better looking and more charming than shc is, and her idea of o. perfectly thrilling evening is one spentfon a sofa under a pink-shaded lamp at home, listen- ing to him tell her how perfectly wonderful she is, and how different she is from all other girls.

The ncxl: sign of love a girl gives is when she begins to consider a. man's pocketbook As long as a girl sulks if a man doesn't get the best seats at the theatre and orders all of the most expensive dishes when he takes her to a restaurant, and can't dance at a place where the cover charges aren't $10 per, and hints that a sapphire bracelet would be a suitable birthday present,

she is merely gold-digging. _

, When she fails in love with a man it is a different story. She begins to r look upon his purse as her purse and feel a. proprietory interest in his sav- iings account. So, when a giri. commences to suggest tuning-in 01'! the 1651f’ i instead of going to a symphony concert; when she pYODOSBB 114i"! °n '- jstreet ear instead of taking a. taxi. anddevelops a taste for sandwiches in- i stead of lobster newberg. it is a safe thing for the young man to begin pric- i int; wedding rings.

Th: next. indication that a girl gives of being in love is when she en- courages a man to talk about himself, when she begs him to tell her all about 1 what he did when he was a little boy with warts on his hands and pale BT88" ‘ freckles on his nose, and when she hangs breathless on his account of how he i sold a bunch of bonds, or an automobile, or got off a trial balance.

The movement has spread to other countries. In Belgium, where there are over 700 Csrcles do Fermieres. Germany, where the C- ntrywomenb Association was formed just one year after the beginning of ths Canadian Federation in 1919, and where there are now 1.313 associations; Poland, 900; Finland. 400; Czechoslovakia, Francs, Sweden and Holland. Many- represcntatives from the United states have looked into the Canad- ian idea. of bringing education to the very door of the countrywomans home, and commented on its super- ior advantsgw to that of the Home Bureau. which is being carried out in many States. The Home Bureau idsa is to send short courses to the country districts, but ths classes are worked up at ths great expense of sending an agent, advertising and or- ganizing the district. In Canada, the appeal is simply sent by letter to the institutes, who in turn provide the hall and got the class together. A thorough survey is made, for the Woman's Institutes extend from coast to coast, and as for north as Fort. McMumy~and south to the boundary line.

She also, bought two "Save the Country- side" posters to be prescnicd to her own institute, the Sandringham branch, of which she was ths first president. The present president of the Sandringham Women's Institute regretted that she had forgotten to wear her badge, especially since Her Majesty nevsr forgets to wear this when she attends Women's Institute meetings.

l-"Ssvc the Country-side" posters are the material methods many Wo- men's Institutes were using last sum- mer to promote an "anti-litter" cam- paign. ‘rhese were placed in con- spicuous places and told plcnlcers and others that "a little landscape was a shame u» England," and urged upon all to "clean-up" before they left.

Drama and music are being en- joyed and studied as never bsfors by rural England. Woman's Institute delegates are sent to tho British Drama League School whsrs they ra- csivs special training in putting on plays and pageants. In the littls village of Offcnhsm, whsrs tradition goes back to King Offs. who ruled Mercia in the eighth century, ths members looked up all that was known of ths ancient king, then wrote a play and pageant, which was produced on the village playing field. At Christmas, carol choirs were form- ed and in many places the soft sweet music of ancient carols was revived.

And now comes a call for interna- tional orgsnization. The Marchicn- ess of Aberdeen and Temair. who is president oi’ ths International Coun- cil of Women, is calling s conference of rural woman to meet for a fort- Drams and music festivals are an- night in London, April 30 to May 14. nusl events in numerous places. 5n gppggi l; egpggjally ma“ w gm-
