Silhouette Has to Be Slimmer for New Skirt Standard BY IDA JEAN KAIN A preview of fashions for the du-latlon is enough to make a girl forget the humidity and start rolling.

Skirt silhouettes are startling they are so snug across the der-riere and the hemline is frozen at 16 to 17 inches from the floor. When you don't have either width or length, you can't have breadth. The easiest and quickest way to alter your hipllne is to roll right straight across It. If you will do 25 full rolls a day, you will have a smoother line within the next seven days. Lie on your back, full length, on the floor.

Start with a good stretch, then relax, then get rolling. Go away over on one side, back across the hipline, and over on the other side. Keep on for the count of 50, then relax. This takes so little effort you'll wonder why you haven't been doing it all along. Short skirts expose the leg contours so mercilessly that you can't stop at hip slimming.

You want a lovelier calf-to-ankle contour without having to work too hard for it. Here is an easy exercise for a better taper: Lie on your back on the floor with legs stretched straight down. Bend the knees and, holding them together, raise feet off floor. As you do. flap feet up and down from the ankles, one up, the other down, as if you were paddling.

Keep paddling and slowly raise legs until they are straight up from the hips. Then paddle down. Rest feet on floor and slide downward until legs are straight. Finally, curl toes up toward insteps for a good stretch of the calf muscles. Relax completely, and repeat.

Five times will do. Finish your hip and legwork by giving yourself a massage. Here is a way to smooth the outer line from hip to knee: Stand up with feet slightly apart, legs straight. Begin by pullinp the hip muscles down in back, the stomach muscles up in front. Hold it.

Now slowly force hands down hips and thighs as you bend the knees. Straighten up and repeat 10 times. Do the exercise slowly and concentrate on correct position of hips and stomach while massaging hip and thighline with long firm strokes. Use a similar technique for leg massage. Lie on your back on the floor with your feet elevated on a stack of pillows, knees straight.

Let right leg rest. Bend the left knee until you can grasp the ankle with both hands. Now, pull both hands up toward the knee in a firm stroke as you straighten the knee. Relax and repeat six times. Then relax for a couple of minutes and continue with right leg.

Vary the exercises above with those in the leaflets "Rolling Exercises" and the "Leg Normalizing Exercises." Send a large stamped return envelope with your request. Spiced vinegar mixture which comes with pickles makes a good seasoning for cooked beets or carrots. Add the vegetable to the liquid, cover tightly and simmer 10 minutes. Cool and chill. Pair Reg.

Good Taste Today BY EMILY POST A not at all unusual point of view-is that of the girl whose engagement is supposed to be a secret, and who expects those in her confidence to keep the secret but at the same time give her certain rights that belong only to one whose engagement has been announced. A certain girl writes me that she feels slighted because she is not invited to the small breakfast for the bridal party and families, which to follow the marriage of her fiance's brother. "We do not want to announce our engagement until we can set the date for our wedding, but our families both know of it and my fiance is to be best man." Unless you are a very Intimate friend of the bride, your presence among none but families and fewest friends, would actually announce your engagement. In other words you have no cause to feel grieved by having your engagement kept a secret, until you are willing to let everyone know It.

Wedding Invitation Dear Mrs. Post: Making wedding plans Is an old atory to you. but since It is a brand new experience to me I would like your belp about this particular detail: My mother and father are divorced. Mother remarried last year. I do not live with either parent but see and love both equally.

They are both giving me my wedding and trousseau. Naturally. I would like to have the Invitations go out with the names of both: Mr. John Smith and Mrs. Everett Hale request the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter, etc.

Is this utterly Impossible? I do not want to hurt either one and It will be unavoidable If I can't use both names? Answer: Im sorry but this wording is a shocking disregard of good taste. The invitations must go in your mother's name alone. Your father does, however, take more of a part than she. He drives alone with vou to church, goes up the aisle with you and gives you In marriage. Your mother's present husband's name should not be put with hers on the invitation, but your father's cannot appear either.

Announcements may be, however, sent by your father to his family and friends as well ax by your mother to hers. It Is important that they divide the people known to both into separate lists In order to avoid sending dupli cates. Emily Post's booklet. "The Eti quette of Weddings." will answer all the questions about the ceremonv and the reception that you have been asking yourself. Send for it.
