O you give as much thought

to beautifying your poor back as you do to making up your face? Unless you're one of the notable exceptions, you don't. Yet bare back beauty Is casy if you're prepared to exert a little patience, spend a little time.

The back in the photograph is lovely because it is neither to podgy nor too muscular, the shoulders are broad, the

backs to the fore

One of the first rules to follow when you want to acquire a lovely back is to alcep flat on a fairly hard mattress, without either a

bolster or pillow.

To correct a round back and protruding shoulder- blades, lie stretched out un your back on the floor for a · quarter of an hour a day, and slip between your body and the ground-under your armpits--a sausage- shaped pillow.

Instead of doing your "daily dozen" lying on the ground, do them hanging from a bar, which your local car- penter can fix up in your bedroom. Excel- back lent for your muscles and you'll be doing your "tummy" muscles some good, too.

It's Good Fun If A Girl Learns Her Hair Treatment With Resultant Soft Tresses

If you have protrud- ing shoulder blades. you're sure to be round- cheated, too. Insuffi- ciont breathing is the chief reason for these. tino figure faults. Prac- lise breathing exercises regularly, and go in for outdoor sports.

If you're ashamed of the size of your seat, give yourself a sort of vibro - massage every day by wriggling along the floor on your back, legs stretched out in front of you. The pic- ture shows you how.

CONCERNING the bath

Ah, that's better!' you'll say when you've put a fow drops of Scrubb's in the bath water. Scrubb'a is a luxury that costs so little-it softens and purifica the water, refreshes your body, removes all traces of perspiration (and ind- prickly heat dentally relleves too). Book in

Heels, generally speaking, will be lower and larger, and altogether very much more comfortable for women who And it difficult to walk comfort- ably in the old type of spindle heels, And by-the-way there will be fewer all-white shoes during the coming seasons; instead we shall have white combined with bright; colours.

Italy, as a nation, of course, speaks with one voice, although through many

It well-known newspapers, Issues from the mild, charming, and amiable Virginlo Gayda-In the Giornale d'Italia-always quoted as the mouthpiece of Mussolini. Which he is.

Italy, however, has another voice, not directed by Mussolini. It is colled L'Osservatore Romano..

That is the voice of the Pope---from Vatican City.

Take it that what these news- papers say is what-within limits- the countries that read them THINK.
