Limbering Exercises

By DONALD LOOMIS

If you have time for just one exercise some morning, I'd advise you to try this one which helps keep you flexible, › limber and graceful; stretches the back muscles and takes the fat off hips and thighs as well.

As you will see from the picture, posed by Jean Chatburn, you stand with feet well apart, arms folded and knees stiff. Bend forward, and as you go down keep twisting your body from side to side as you work your- self lower; then twist again as you work up. Be sure you feel every muscle in the back getting stretched, also feel the pull in the hips and thighs.

'Girls who work in pictures must keep their weight six to eight pounds less than would be considered 'cor- rect for the average girl. Because they cannot put on the extra pounds, picture girls are nearly always hungry and would eat like wolves if given the chance. If you are overweight and want to lose a few pounds, try following the advice I give these girls.

What The Stars Foretell

By MARY BLAKE

If you permit yourself to do un- necessary worrying this day, your physical reaction is apt to be bad. Keep your mind occupled 'with con- structive ideas and optimistic hopes, and your results may be gratifying. Friends, probably in more ways than one; will prove their friendship this day. Watch your footsteps, for if you are absentminded they may lead you into danger. Fatigue will be the prin- cipal cause for the average person's sense of irritation, so make it a point not to overexert yourself. Most quar- rels this day, are likely to originate from trifling inisunderstandings, so before anger dulls your sense of justice analyse the reason for your being upset. Haste will perhaps do more harm than good, so It is advis able to take your time in doing any- thing worth while. Married and en- gaged couples, as well as those who ar in love, will find that an un- bridled tongue is conducive to trouble, and a carefully curbed one productive of much good.

If a woman and September 2 is your birthday, you should be a born stratagist, particularly in planning social or business activities. Being diplomatic, your friends may tre- quently ask your aid in straightening Unless she is scared into dieting out their personal affairs.
