New Spring suita won't look right, unless you get your waistline in trim.

This exercise pulls your waistline and better yet, even- tually holds your waistline atretched by strengthening the muscles that do the trick.

Stand erect, feet apart, clasp your fingers behind your head and step forward with your left foot, holding your weight on the back one. Now pull your head forward, clear down to your knee on your extended left leg, if you can get it that far. You probably can't--the first day. But keep per- severing. That is your alm.

Before you start stretching your head down, drop your head backwards onto your clasped hands. This stretches your abdomen first, then gives you more of a back stretch As you bend forward,

TELLING ADOPTED · CHILDREN THE TRUTH?

'By Olive Roberts Barton

Should parents tell children that they are adopted?

It is one of the most difcult problems that arise to face the man and woman who have taken a baby to love, and cherish as their own.

If you had opened your heart and home to a warm little bundle of humanity, had told yourself from the beginning that from now

Why Need the Child be Told?

Also, if it is best, at what age he should be told. Is it better for his parents to tell him before the news comes from schoolmates, or to take a chance and wait until his judgment and reason will come to the rescue and soften the blow.

Again, Is it necessary to tell him at all? Why need he ever know? Why cannot his parents reach old age secure in the love a son would give his real parents, even though he has married and has other in- terests in life? If he knew he were adopted this knowledge might affect his relationship more or less with them. In a busy man's life even blood parents often como in for just such time as he Now what had happened wax can give them that on a windy day he had been This matter of telling, the child outside in a little short sleeved I believe must be decided by the suit and his tender skin had parents themselves.
