How LAUGH?

do you

AVE you ever really listened to your own laugh? Probably not, but it is worth studying. An attrac- tive laugh is rare.

Many women pitch their laughter far too high. It should be on the sume level as, or little higher than, the speaking voice, and should fall gradually in tone. It becomes irritating if it ends.on a high note. Other laughs to avoid are the nasal one, the explosive cne, the monotonous "ha-ha," and the too-frequent "fit of the gig. gles." Words and laughter must be separated--however funny the story-otherwise both are lost on the listeners! Notice the Stars.

Any one with a fairly good "en" can follow the example of those actresses who learn a clear, pleasant singo laugh by practising it to a musical scule-first slowly, then rapidly, finally without the music. Do not fear that these attentions will develop, that worst laugh of all, the affected one.

This good habit, like any other, becomes natural with repetition.

This Curry tastes like Would You Swim the Streamlined Crawl?

a real Indian one

TERE is a way of preparing and serving a curry, which looks and and put it through a mincer. If a fresh coconut is not obtainable use two tablespoonfuls of desiccated coconut.

Huastes like those you get in India. Cut half a coconut in small pieces

Add to the coconut a blade of garlic chopped fine, one tablespoonful of curry powder and one level tablespoon of cayenne pepper. If you like a very hot curry add a little more.

Mix all to a paste with water or coconut milk, pat two tablespoonfuls

of land in a pan over a low flame and when very hot add the curry mix- ture and a half onion sliced,

If you are making a chicken er meat curry add this, also cut into mall pieces. If it is an egg curry the hard-boiled eggs are added just before serving.

Fry the mixture for at least fifteen-minutes or until all the smell has конс When fried sufficiently you should not be able to smell the curry at all. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Add two to three cupfuls of water according to the amount required. Put in a casserole with aliced tomato on the top.. Place in a slow oven and cook for an hour or more. It will not spoil by long cooking, and If it appears to be drying up more water can be adited. Just before serving add a teaspoonful of vinegar.

Serve the rice in a separate dish. A dish of split peas cooked and mushed goes, well with it.

Ty the fasiest way to swim and,when properly "IT

done, it is the easiest way to swim fast," said by well-known American coach when asked recently to dis- cribe the stroke, which was perfected by Johnny Tar- zan Weissmuller, Ethel Lackie, Albert H. Schwartz and others.

The statement has some of the earmarks of conundrum, and the coach was asked to elaborate for the benefit of those who know a little bit about swim- ming, and might improve considerably with a picture of what a good stroke looks like.

"A motor car engineer," said the conch, "has been quoted as saying streamlined cars are of little value until a speed of 80

body knows an an hour is schleyed. Every

from which the streamlining

of care was derived, takes off from the earth only when it has built up high velocity. Likewise, the speedboat does not reach full effectiveness until it goes fast enough to lift its prow from the water."

So there in such thing na a streamlined crawl Alroke, comparable in his view, with the resistance- avoidance features of these modern vehicles; a stroke which, after curtain speed and position la achieved, becomes more efficient, due to a kind of take-off from limitations otherwise retarding progress.

This is what has been, called the perfected Ameri can crawl stroke," the speaker said. "It is a speed stroke, developed by logic and experiment. Its advan- tages are not fully exploited until crough speed is developed for this take-off. It requires youth and its emotional and physical energy to generate abundance of the primary speed."

In analysing the stroke, a pupil entered the pool, floating the body face down. The hands were stretched out forward, the legs to the rear close together, with the toes pointed straight

"Now," said the coach, "we have the human body floating, stretchell out in its narrowest, shallowest

plane, It is a flat, fish shape, streamlined to encounter ihe least resistance. You will notics the head and shoulders are high, and the legs have a tendency to sink. The body right now is at a slight angle from the surface of the water..!

"We will aim to preserve this angle, and to elevate the body as a whole, so it will be higher in the water and encounter even less resistance.

"Say we have here a plank floating on the water: "Now we want to make it move, make it travel over the By this we mean water, in the most efficient manner. the most speed for the energy expended. This requires reduction of resistance to a minimum and mechanica! efficiency.'

"All right," said the conch to his pupil, "let's sec the arm action, without breathing, and without the use of the legs.'

He pointed out the hands were lying on the water, extended forward, about 18 inches apart, each hand directly in line with the point of the

As the left arm started forward in recovery, the right amn began its under-water drive, duplicating the performance of the left arm. The body moved through the water.

Stretched out again after a period of rest, the papil ut the coach's direction rotated the arms as be fore and at the same time thrashed the legs up and down gently, keeping them close together, the toes pointed, and holding the width of the thrashes to about 18 inches.

With the leg beat added, the body rose in the water, it was easier to clear the arms out of the water in. recovery, and the speed, improved markedly due to leasened resistance. The legs came up higher, fatten- ing the angle at which the body faced progress.

Now the breathing is done in and out of water. The inhale must be made above surface through the mouth, and the exhala is under water, through the nose. He Instructed the pupil now to add breathing to the stroke. As the swimmer's left arm reached the end. of its power stroke, the head was suddenly turned to the left, the mouth cleared, a wide-open gulp taken, and the face turned back into the water, where bubbles at once began issuing from the nose, continuing until the mouth was again turned clear for air.
