We, the Women—

Kidding About

Ruth Millett and Mary had started looking for her trousseau, than a blight tel on the ‘event they had ‘expected to be perfect. The people who worked in Mary's office started kidding her: “So you're marrying a ‘draft dodger.” And when she shopped, clerks weren't above getting chummy enough to say the same thing. Of course, it was worse for Jim. The wise guys in hig office even nicknamed him. Dodger. ® 8 = NONE of these people’ ‘knew that they were being cruel—as, of course, they were. They were giving in to the mean streak in human nature that hates to see other people com-

pletely happy and pleased with life. |:

‘Their determination fo spoil “things a little was so well cloaked in humor they didn’t even know they were being cruel. But they managed to take the ‘bright edge off the happiness of Mary and Jim. They. managed to dull a little the day the young couple had looked forward to and worked toward for four years. ' There has been too much of this kind of damage done already. What do we want young people to do? To quit getting married? + Of course not. We knéw life can’t -mark time; that it has to go on as usual. So let’s put a stop to wisecracks about draft dodgers.

“Give a room. a good sky line.”

How's Your Living Room's "Sky Line'? Here Are Some Tips on Improving It

® & 8 This is a well-known interiol

decoration rule which never changes, no matter what style and period

of furnishings are used.

A room should be planned as an artist paints a plcture—with an eye toward pleasing variety in height, hulk and contour as well as color contrast., A dead level is as distasteful in furniture as ‘it’ is in color

schemes. The right low lines and in-be-tweens are easily obtainable through chairs, sofas and small tables. In a large room, a big breakfront or secretary can supply the high line. For small living rooms high pieces which do not take up so much floor space may be used. One charming alternative, popular at the moment, is the curio cabinet. In the picture shown here (above) you see the curio cabinet at its best—in Queen Anne walnut. Considered: from any angle, this is an important high piece, yet one so cleverly scaled that it fits equally well into a tiny living room or a large drawing room. The photograph also shows several other pieces which, in combination, ‘make a good skyline for the

room. Notice how the long walnut:

table is placed at a right angle to the windows, building this group out into the room and avoiding any push-back-against-the-wali effect so common to window groupings. ” ® » 3 THE WING CHAIR rises to just the right height above the table and falls nicely below the tall cabinet. The walnut arm chair is another step in the skyline. Among the curio cabinets most favored are quaint replicas of the old walnut what-not—no longer black, but now in mellow, soft brown tones; French mirror cabinets; tall English tier stands, the open shelves and slender posts of which silhouette wonderfully against walls. : Modern designers are doing smart pieces in both wood and mirror glass, Victorian cabinets of various Commodes, chests and table desks with fret-

work shelves above them (books or!A

bibelots or both ¢ on the shelves) may be used to achieve an effect of height. Height may be obtained also by a pair of-tall, slender pedestals with bowls of ‘greens or ivy on top of them. The latter treatment highly recommended for small walls at either side cf a door or wide window. A picture group above a chest or even a nest of tables will give the effect of a tall piece. And watch carefully the space above the sofa. This spot should never be let down. If you do not have one worthwhile picture to fit harmoniously and graciously into the above-sofa area, try a shallow bookshelf with a print on either side or wall brackets with figures or ivy. In other words, it’s possible to create a good skyline without wrecking the household budget.

WHILE the majority of enti authorities in the East put much emphasis on exercises to reduce the thighs and hips, many of. the Hollywood figure experts insist that if you concentrate on routines to keep your waistline slim, the rest of your lumps and too-plump curves will disappear automatically, “Watch your waistline and you will have the key to complete figure beauty,” says Jim. Davies, one of the most famous figure experts in the film capital. “All exercises which tend to slenderize the torso will do wonderful things for the rest of your figure.” Mr. Davies—to whom goes at least part of the credit for the lovely figure of such stars as Madeleine Carroll, . Dorothy Lamour, Mary Martin and Ellen Drew—advocates the use of a slanted board in home

‘| exercising.

-- You need a board about one and a half feet wide and six feet long,” Jim Davies explains. “Pad it if you like. Across the higher end, at-

firmly.” : ” » f

HERE ARE directions for two of Mr. Davies’ on-the-board exercises to slenderize the waistline: Lie ‘on the board with head at the higher end, grasping the upper edge of it with your hands. Now, without moving head and shoulders, place’ ankles together, pull toes toward the body, then slowly lift legs until they are perpendicular to the body. Do not bend knees. Hold the position for 10 seconds, then slowly lower legs. Repeat 10 times, inhaling deeply as legs are raised, exhaling as they are lowered. Now lie on your back on the board with feet at the higher end and under the strap. Keeping knees straight and toes pulled in toward the body, raise yourself to sitting position and stretgh forward until you can touch toes with fingertips. Slowly return to eriginal position with head at the lower end of the board. Repeat slowly five times the first day, six

..|the second, seven the third, and so

on until you are doing the exercise 15 times a day. Both of these routines will slenderize the waistline and flatten the stomach, .whether: you do. them on a board .or not. tions apply when you. do them flat on the floor. - And Mr. Davies insists that they will slenderize hips and highs as well as walstline.
