TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR. GIRLS

1—Be pretty. If you have been blessed with a pcachcs-and-cream conv- plexion, naturally wavy halr and a classic proﬁle, thank heaven for its mercies, and preserve them. If you were passed over when good looks were handed out, get busy circumventing nature. Camou- ﬂage your defects. and turn the spotlight on your good points. Learn how to dress, which is nine-tenths of being easy on the eyes. Find out what lines and colors flatter you and stick to them.

Acquire the art of make-up. It is a virtue to sug- gest the bloom of roses on sallow cheeks and to give a warm glow t o pale, thin lips, but it is a crime to daub your face up with color like a circus wagon, and to slap on lipstick until your mouth looks like a cut of raw beef in a. butcher shop. Above all, be neat - and well groomed. More attractive is a splck-and-span homely girl than a slovcnly beauty who looks as if she needed to be run through the laundry.

2—Be feminine. When God made both men and women. He knew what He was about, and He implanted in our breasts some instinct that makes either one of them repulsive to us when he or she apes the characteristics of the other. Every one feels a contempt for the effcmlnate man and dis.-

gust for the mannish woman.

The prettiest girl in the world turns herself into a. scarecrow when she puts on breaches, because the feminine ﬁgure is not designed for pants, If shc is fat she looks the shape of a turnip. I! she is thin enough not to have any hips she appears to be an undernourished street gamin with tuberculosis. At best the girl who copycats men in clothes and manners is but a poor imitation of the real thing that has neither allure nor worth,

When a girl casts aside her femininity, she has thrown away her one best bet, especially where men are concerned, for her sex is the thing with which a woman conjures. Every woman who has ever been a great vamp has had femininity raised to the ‘nth power. Shc dressed like a woman, talked like a woman, and acted like a woman. Probably no man svcr asked anything

in trousers to marry him.

ti-Be sweet. Be gentle in your judgments. Be tender and pitiful to old people and little children. Keep your faith in everything that is holy and beautiful. Hold on with both hands to your cnthusiasms. Keep on believing in love and romance, and that some day a. fairy prince will come your way.

Don't get bitter because you have to stand behind the counter instead of buying chlffons over lt. Don't let yourself got hard-boiled and cynical. Don't make the mistake of thinking it_is clever to be sophisticated and like Lady Kswk daughter, who was 40 years old and had heard all there was to tell-

Nobody aclmlres that type of girl. The girl that we want about us, and that we go out of our way to do nice things for, is the sweet girl who is gentle and tender and loving, and whose starry eyes are still filled with the

illusions of youth. _

4-Be Amlable. Therevls no other virtue in the world that pays such heavy dividends as amiability. 1f you are beautiful, your rivals will envy you and backbltc you. If you are witty, people will laugh at your wisecracks, but they will avoid you because they are afraid of you, but good nature makes no enemies. It rouses no Jealousies. It inspires no fears. Nobody ever tires of

a good-natured girl. Everybody likes to have her around because she is so pleasant and agreeable, and every one plugs her game.

It is the girl who wears the smile that won't. come oﬂ, the girl who can laugh at mis- adventures. the girl who Jollies usalong and says the pleasant thing to us

“IHETHER your ~ baby is one your’:

that we long to hear, who has hosts of friends and dates to burn, who can marry whom she pleases and who never figures in the divorce court,

5-Be Intelligent. Don't make the~mlstake of thinking that good looks is all the capital a woman needs to do business on in life. It isn't. True, beauty may get her a husband, but it won't keep him. Shs needs brains for that. No man can spend. forty or ﬁfty years gazing rapturously at a living picture. He is bound to grow tired of it in time. Besides which, living pictures deter- iorate with time. Their colors fade, their outlines blur, so that what was once one of nature's masterpieces onlytoo often turns into a chromo.

The woman who is beautiful but dumb is bound to loss out in a few years, but tho woman who has intelligence grows more and more fascinating because she adds continually to her charms. She reads, she studies, she thinks. and so she bccomes a companion of whom we never weary because shc keeps us always interested.

.__, ‘ IQQJ) ‘EXERCISES FOR. WEAK FEET

It has been estimated that more than three-quarters of the popula- tion enter adult life with some sort of acquired foot trouble. Among girls this weakness L; largely due to wear- ing the wrong type of shoes—shoes too high in the heel and too narrow and short in the toe. Such shoes de- form and cramp the feet so that they cannot correctly perform their nor- ma] function of supporting the body and propelling it forward in walking.

In his book on "Preventive and Corrective Physical Education" George T. Stafford has written a valuable chapter on feet, which in- cludes a. long list of useful exercises for strengthening weak feet. While exercise alone cannot cure all types of weak feet, especially those in ad- vanced stages, it is a very valuable aid. Many of my readers have asked for such, a list of exercises, so I am describing some of them below with the hope that those who are inter- ested ln them will turn to Mr. Stuf- ford's book for s more comprehensive treatment of the subject than‘ I can give here.

Two types of foot exercises are recognized, namely, nonweight-bear- lng and weight-bearing. In the for- mer class are the foilowin;

(l) Sit on a chair with the outer side oi’ your right ankle resting,on your left knee. Grasp the right foot in your hand and bend it inward

ancs. This is called adducting the right foot. Relax and repeat with each foot.

(2) Sit on a chair and stretch both legs out in front, knees straight and feet together. The toes are pointed strongly downward (plantar ﬂexed) and the soles turned inward until they almost face each other. The feet are then bent upward at the

Ourl the toes in strongly, attempting to raise the arches as high as possible but keeping the heels on the floor. Relax and repeat.

After the feet have become accus- tomed to the exercises in the above group,the following "weight-bearing" exercises may be begun:

four inches apart and parallel. Roll

borders of the feet. Curl the toes under and hold the position for thirty seconds. Relax and repeat.

(b) Stand erect and place hands lightly on the back of a chair. Bend feet upward (dorsi-ﬂex), resting weight on heels only. Relax and repeat.

(c) Stand erect with feet about ten inches apart The forepart of the right foot is adducted (turned in- ward) and rests on the end of a towel Try to draw the towel toward you by clutching it with the tocs of the right foot, using the heel as a pivot for the action. which occurs at and below the Illlllc Only.

A refreshing drink ls made by adding freshly beaten egg to lemon- ode. Two or three slices of lemon in a cup of strong hot tea will cure a nervous headache. As a remedy for hoarscncss lemon juice and loaf sugar are excellent.

To make lemonade for a cold, use two tablespoons lemon Juice and one tablespoon sugar to three-quarter cup boiling water. The old-fashion- ed method of adding the sugar to the boiling water and letting it dissolve before adding lemon Juice will be found better than adding sugar last, as usually done.‘
