In developing good posture of the spine, and therefore of the whole body, one must start at the founda- tion and tackle first the base of the spine and the "tilt" of the hips. The lower spine and hip region of the body is very stiff in many women, an. If rigidity is allowed to develop hero i can lead to an increasingly "hollow back,” and to pain and weakness in this region In later yours.

Here is a simple foundation exer- cizo which aims to counteract such

stiffness, and to pave the way for learning the correct "tilt" of the hips.

Hollow and Hump. Kneeling on all fours, hands directly under the shoulders (with straight elbows). knees directly under the hips, weight evenly divided between hands and knees, alternately hollow and bump the aniall of your back- as though you were a fractious horse wishing to unseat a rider! Avold any jerk, and aim for the maximum htt amount of movement at the base of the spine-not in the shoulder re- gion which should be kept as steady as possible,

The next task is to mobillso the spine. Suppleness spells youth. nigidity-of body or mind-is the first sign of advancing age. As soon as any part of the body begins to "atiffen up," its power of movement lessens and finally may even depart altogether, with resultant loss of health and strength. Movement, then, is one of the primo necessities for all parts of the body.

for All of them follow the current trend dresses that are pretty and fussy enough to be sunsuits, and sun-bathing sults that are proof against getting wet.

These new water-repellent wools and proofed cottons in belillant prints are designed to shake off the water, and dry out instantly in the sun without a crease.

Jean's personal favourite is this brief brassiere and pants in white jersey towelling (on left)... be. cause it allows maximum suntan- ning, contrasts vividly with her browned skin, dries quickly and is practical for swimming.

For example, the straight unäited coat which used to be called a "swagger" will, under the powerful influence of the New Look, have its shoulders a little narrower and its skirt a little fuller, and will now bo called the "tent" cont.

And the type of coat bulloned to a ntted waistline and then widen- ing to a full hemline, which used to be called a "princesso" coat, will have the waist a little tighter and the skirt a litle fuller, and will now be called "a wasp-walsted whirl- skirt" model.
