She developed a real flair for the picture quatlty In a scene, and spent many hours taking and de veloping pictures of her home and the surrounding country to send her mother. ?"I expect the walls are covered with i them." she said laughingly to Tom, as ^whe wrapped a package of her latest shots to send them. ? "Of course they are! You didn't j suppose Ma Cummlngs would put them out of sight, did you? He had taken I to calling his mother-in-law "Ma Cum-' mlngs."

They really do It! I saw one, the other day.?a lady with an initial em broidered on her blouse! Some time ago I saw a picture of this new fashion and the other day at a dance I saw the faehion in action for the first time. (1'erhaps I am very behind hand In this. Maybe veu have been seeing Initialed ladles for some time Maybe you have been wearing Initials yourself.) Shall We Tattoo? ^ T wonder what we shall find to put Initials on next. We have them on all our accoutrements, now on our clothes; shall we take to tattooing next? Probably not. Not because Its pain ful or uglv; no?a little thing like that would never prevent anything from becoming the fashion. But be cause Initialing ourselves would hard ly fit In with the reason why we like to put Initials on things. That, as I take it. Is to express our personality and to stamp our possession. And our possession of ourselves doesn't seem to peed asserting At least, we don't think it does. I suppose it would be more In line wjth the idea of Initiate for a wife to ha?e her initials tatoocd on her huslind and vice versa.

Once upon a time initialed linen was ;ha perquisite of the rich, but to-dav the humblest bride has her Initialed towels and napkins, and as we rise a bit more on the financial scale we find Initials on sheets and pillow cases, on face cloths and bedspreads, on lingerie, and toilet accessories ?When I was a little girl mono geammed paper was something that the wcJKto-do gave each other for Christ, maa Today the possession of mono grammed paper has hceome so common tha* the well-to-do have had to And ^ eome other way of expressing them ^^aaN*s. a*?d have taken to having their ^^?Cd^vse* engraved or even.

I am normal In all parts, except in my arms atul bust. As 1 am only a young: girl. 1 am most conscious of it, and although I base dieted, It seems to n" avail. Also you mention something regarding a fruit diet, but do not give details. 'I ean't tell von bow many or mv friends are on your diet: in fart, it Is one of our main discussions Don't we anti-fats love and dote on you!?Tour unknown friend It." This question of localized fat I am | hearing from very frequently, so please | take notlco of my ndvlee to my unknown friend. (Thanks, dear.) t'sually it will be fonttd that the fat of the fattest plaees goes first when I you are on a reducing diet and it l? ' simply a qnqestlon of time before you I will see the results. In the case of a large bust, the corseting may be at | fault rather than the bust. Unless the | corset has no bust, or a very low but. I it will push the roll of fat on the abuo- ] men up. which pushes the bust up and makes it look even larger. This gives a very top-heavy effect. It is much better and more graceful to wear a cor set that does not do this. T will give you a paper soon op cor sets and go into this uestton furtner. In the question of massage for th" heavy breast: Because the breast is one of the seats of cancer in later life and bacause cancer sometimes seems trace, able to injuries, you must be very care ful In handling the breasts. However. I think firm, evenly applied masagc could do no harm--and we. are not go ing to be so in danger of cancer If we keep ourselves in a normal, healthy condition and do not get, or remain, overweight. Our cancer statistics show that can cer Is much more prevalent among the well-to-do?those who are presumably more apt to over-eat?than among the i poorer classes who do rot 'have this t cndency. As far as fat arms are concerned, it Is said that if we will take rare of our muscles, ilir fai will take care of itself. Heavy massage of the arms will ue beneficial as well as special exercises for them. For fat hips and abdomen, the trunk exercises and kicking and' rolling are indicated. Some people com plain that they get dizzy when they roll, hut it. Is not necessary. You can lie on your back, roll over on your abdo men on "tie side, then to your andomen on your other side?sort of a rocking motion. This does not require much space and is a very good exercise. l-'or heavy ankles, the exercises that exercise the muscles around tne tinkles, such as standing on your toes and com j Ing down on your heels. dancing, etc.. t are good Peep massage of the ankDp: given hv yourself. will give n good! trunk and arm exercise at the same time The size and shape of ankles are more or less Inherited characteristics, like the shape of the nose or the color of the eyes. However, tnere ta no doubt that rolls of fat on ankles can be eliminated. Fruit Diet. There Is no better way for a quick reduction than an exclusive fruit diet Tou can use a mixture of fruits, or jus; one fruit.
