The Mirror

Requisition Of Being Well-Dressed

English management of the mirror is sadly lacking. There is no feel for mirrors, chiefly owing to the Victorian or perhaps Puritan- |ical conception that mirrors were satánica conception based, maybe, Jon the atill remoter idea that to make a representation of." someone was a deadly and dangerous win.

The Briton has learnt to be vain, but he and she atill böth regard the mirror as something decorative, Įdespicable, useless — anything, in short, but utilitarian. French and Itallana revel in the mirror. The mirror is distinctive of the French and Italian restaurant, if only bo cause. It makes smaller premises look larger. There is never a French wardrobe without its full-) length mirror, whereas in the English varloty the mirror la often hidden shame-facedly on the Inside of the wardrobe with a door that refuses to stay open unless propped [up by a chair;

In English houses it is half the time impossible to get the final glimpse which-shows-that-one-is-tidy, Small mirrors are skled-obviously not for use. Where there are large mirrors these are ostentatiously to be in the new mode, and are not for mere human beings.

And so English people are ever trying to secure surreptitious glimpses in shop windows or in the new chromium steel to see whether hair and heels are tidy, which is too often not the case. The mirror, the full-length mirror, is a neces-

HIP REDUCING EXERCISES

DIET SHOULD BE CONSIDERED

One of the questions a beauty editor had to answer most frequent- ly is how to reduce the hips."

In the first place, learning to stand correctly with no hollow in your back will take a couple of inches off your hips. After you have mastered that arf and there still is an evident excess of weight about your hips, the thing to do is to consider a diet and some exercises.

Cut out starches, desserts and candy. Substitute fresh vegetables for the starches and fresh and stewed frults for the pastry and candy. Be sure and drink ten glasses of water each day. Try and drink two glasses just before (not with) each meal.

.

There are several exercises which help, to get rid of extra weight about the hipe. Probably one of the best is known as the rolling! exercise.

Le flat on your back on the floor with your hands clasped together high above your head. See that your hips are planted firmly against the floor.

Keeping your shoulders in place, roll your hips from ens aide to the other. Do it slowly and repeat the exercise twenty or thirty times each night.

Stick to your diet and keep up the exercise and in a few months you'll begin to notice the difference in the size, of your hips.
