If ou @an t 7ind Romance in a JQ.ockina (?kah By Mrs. Penrose Lyly <<T OIS of girls save money all through the year for a two-weeks vaca tion. They have just enough for their hotel hill and car fare. When they arrive, they deposit their room and board rent with the manager, keep out enough for their fare home, then they sit on the porch in rocking chairs and just wait for something to happen. 1 “ I hey wait forte Hows to show up, take a fancy to them, and spend money on them. That's what they cal! ‘waiting for romance.’ It's one of the saddest sights we see in our business. And I’ve racked my brains trying to find some solution. Hut I can't. Only the winter vacationists, the skiers and snow enthusiasts, seem to bring their own crowd along. That makes everything rosy for us. We supply tin- hotel, the food, the sports equipment. Hut the girls seem able to supply their own men. So when the snow falls, our headaches vanish.” Such is the mature ob. ervation of Irwin Shinnen of Mountainhome, Pa. Twenty four years old. graduate of the Depart ment of Hotel Administration at Cornell University, and now assistant manager of a resort hotel in the Pocono Mountains, fce »iinks the resort business is a coming field for young men. Even so, he still can t figure out what to do with the girls who just sit. "Some hotels employ college men as waiters with the understanding that the boys must squire the girls about after hours. But squiring costs money and the fellows have their own girls back home, or else are working their way through college. “I know of one place where the man agement arranged with the girl vacaition ists to pay for entertainment costs when the college boy waiters took them out. It worked pretty well, but some of the fel lows balked.” The future of the resort business? First rate, according to this youthful manager. "But resorts are becoming depots lor sportsmen and sportswomen, not places to sit in rocking chairs.” he says. “A hotel man used to put most of his investment into his building, furniture, kitchen and porch chairs. Today, with the American enthusiasm for outdoor activities gaining every summer and winter, the successful hotel man must invest much of his cap ital in sports fields and equipment. "We have to have a swimming pool with a life guard for summer, a ski slide and a toboggan slide for winter, several tennis courts, bowling alleys, horses lor riding, trails cleared over the mountains for both summer and winter hikers. That all costs money. But the young people want it and will go elsewhere unless you provide it. ‘‘Young people—more and more of them —who come for short stays, that’s the new type of hotel customer. Older folk used to come early in summer and stay and stay.” Spring's Coming! £§&&£>- jjSL 4 ..

It really won’t be so long now. Ask the designers. 38l ’ s ' ■■ ~^ \% v^, * , ** , *^* Ni » iS^H CLIMB THE LADDER TO BEAUTY DO YOU want to be as trim and as slimly rounded as a Follies girl; to carry yourself like a princess? Then start climbing the ladder to beauty to day. Use Swedish bars. They may be found in any good gymnasium. Here’s how it’s done. Note the lass in the Grecian get up at right top. She’s doing the “Whiplash,” a little exercise that whips off superfluous flesh from sides and hips, and also has away of making the back straighter and more supple. Hanging straight down from the top rung, swing feet out and away from bars, toes pointed, knees to gether, head thrown back to form a perfect arch. Repeat three times, resting after each swing. The “Pendulum Swing,” as demon strated in the pho tograph below, has away of shooing off those unwieldy curves over the ab domen and hips. And if you desire a waist of Victorian proportions, this is one certain way to get your slender little wish. Hang from top with back to bars. Swing legs from side to side, pendulum fashion. Relax after each two complete swings. Repeat twice. The "Egyptian Stretch” is recom mended as the first exercise for the be ginner.

TIFWfTTHi ■MB Wllllf i| C A* «|ll ture exercise that unwinds more kinks than you thought you had. For the relaxed shoulders, straight upper back and balance of the ancient Egyptian beauty, this exer cise is what you should take. Facing bars, hang from top rung with shoulders complete ly relaxed Gradu ally tense back and shoulder m usc les until body is raised two rungs Relax with feet on which ever rung is most comfortable. Repeat three times, resting after each. “Monkey on the Bars” may not sound like a pretty name for a beauty exercise, but just try it. It will in crease your femi nine suppleness and stretch the leg muscles which too often tighten as a result of wearing high heels. Facing bar, clasp rung at eye level and begin to climb. But for every step up made with the feet, take a step down with your hands, straighten ing knees after each step. Continue, if possible, until there is only one rung be tween hands and feet. In clasping rung for this exercise, be sure that the thumb is on oppo site side from the other fingers. The rung is thus com pletely encircled. The girl doing the “Whiplash” in the above photograph has her hands about the rung in this proper fashion. A LUNCHEON is a pleasant occa-ion. It can be either formal or informal, but it must be amiable and unhurried. The handsome table shown at left might inspire you to do likewise. The sterling silver is in an early American pattern. The photograph above shows a simple, informal luncheon on a table which Is set near the fireplace. The silver is ar ranged in a neat row, the plates are stacked, the coffee server and cups are at hand. The hostess sits near the toaster, serves from the chicken and ham cas serole on to hot buttered slices ol toast passes coffee, and that is all there is to it. For either of these luncheons, a Ver mont Chicken Pie would make the perfect main dish. Ingredients for 6 to 8 por tions: 1 fowl, about 5 pounds, from l l * to 2 years old: w r ater to cover. 3 celery stalks, 1 medium onion. 2 tablespoons salt. 2 tablespoons butter, 4 tablesoons chicken fat, 6 tablespoons flour. 3’4 cui>s chicken stock, '*4 cup milk, l teaspoon salt, % teaspoon pepper. Clean and wash fowl, place in kettle, cover with cold water and add salt, celery and onion. Slowly bring to boil and cook until tender, about 2'k hours. Remove kettle lrom stove and let fowl stand m broth until cold. When ready, remove fowl from oroth, drain, bone and cut meat into desired sizes. Lay in bottom of casserole, arrang ing white and dark meat in alternate lay ers. Skim fat from broth and measure out quantity needed for gravy. Place in kettle. Add milk and bring to boiling point. Cream butter, chicken fat and flour to gether until a smooth paste is lormed. Add paste to chicken broth and cook thoroughly. Add salt and pepper. Pour over chicken in casserole. Place in oven. When gravy begins to bubble around edges, place individual biscuits over top. Bake in hot oven (450 degrees F. i for 10 or 15 minutes. For Cold Nights KEEP your feet warm. That’s a sensible resolution to make. And if you really want to carry it out. get yourself a pair of M. M. No. 4 needles, 14 inches long, and two balls of Germantown yarn. The scale is 5% stitches to an inch. These are the instructions: Cast on 30 sts. and work in plain knit ting for 12 inches. Bind off. Fold over one corner and sew as illustrated in above photo.
