ERE PE ERA TAT A EXERCISES slope, near to your own home. If you can’t go skiing, ski exercises at home are beneficial, The first two exercises are for limbering and control: Put on slacks or pajamas so your movements will not be hampered. Open the window and breathe deeply while you are these move- ments: Stand erect, then drop to the knees and rise by placing the right foot and the tips of the left fingers on the floor. Rise, and down again, using the left foot and the right hand, and g0 back to the standing posi- tion. Do ten of these drops, alternating right and left. Stand in your stocking feet for this one, one foot a little ahead of the other, the should- ers relaxed, eyes ahead, knees locked and weight on the balls of the feet. Dip forward, al- ways bringing your knees well in front of your toes. Repeat 10 or 20 times. This limbers those knee muscles which are especially important in skiing, for they serve as springs and shock absorbers when you glide over the bumps. If you want to do the Arlberg ski-running position, try this exercise. Sit forward on the edge of your chair, your weight forward on the balls of your feet, knees well in front of your toes. This gives you the “feel” of the correct position. Now, for the exercise. Your feet should be slightly apart, toes straight ahead. Squat to a low crouch, pushing the knees for- ward as much as you can, keep- ing the heels on the floor. Rise and repeat. practicing HEE HARE MODES and MANNERS Q. How should firm pud- dings be eaten?

EO AA EL CHIFFON LEADS FOR EVENING WEAR WHEN YOU ASK what women are wearing or buying in eve- ning fashions, the answer in- variably is ‘something with a sparkle to it.” And when you snoop around trying to find out what is being worn down South the answer is the same—white or black with glittering aec- cents. Authorities also say vacation- ing ‘women . favor sparkling sheers in colors and in feminine shades of blue, with embroid- eries- matching the gown. Chif- fon is cited as a favorite fabric for evening gowns, in solid eol- ors, including pastels with em- phasis on gray, also in ombre treatments, with interesting ranges such as pale violet to ggplant mentioned as signifi- cant. Chiffon allied with another fabric is a favorite, especially. chiffon with satin. This texture contrast, it is pointed out, finds approval with the satin ‘and chiffon in matching colors, the satin used sometimes as a trim- by ELEANOR GUNN ming and also as skirts and bodices. In general, it is the skirt with width that women are asking for and pleats are still popular. Crepes, sheers and satins are all included in pleated fashions. The long waistline is regard- ed as a possibility for the near future, but for mow it’s the natural waist with sash, just like you wore when you were a little girl. Ever so many of the new dresses, both for town and resort. careers, are sashed with wide and often very bright ribbon or fabric. These, being newer, are rivaling the corset- like girdles that are often sug- gested with jewels or with a duplex waistline or some con- trasting medium, One is safe in assuming that the current vogue for two fabric or color costumes, one above foundation and one below the waist, will continue, It is a fashion that: requires care, since it isn’t every figure that can stand be- ing cut in half. However, there are ways of doing it harmlessly. MISERABLE? R. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription stim- ulates the appetite and thru the greater intake of food you're built up.
