rvo YOU know of anyone, man
ww or woman, who doesn't admire
the slim symmetry and grace of a
tapering pair of ankles? Whether
they appear on the screen, on the
stage, in an
a dvertisement
or merely
strolling down
the street,
p r e tty ankles
are an asset—
something
people see and
remember.
Nicely pro-
portioned an-
kles are n »t
only beautiful
but suggest
strength, grace
miss hint and usefulness.
And certainly
they are far more efficient than
thick, fleshy ones. Exercise salons
pay a great deal of attention to
this problem. Often the shapeli-
ness of the ankles can be restored
with simple exercises.
Exercises—simple ones that you
can take at hi are probably
your solution for ■rtovely ankles,
bo not expect walking to do the
trick for you unless your ankles
are too thin and bony. Walking
will merely develop the muscles
and make the ankles look thicker.
Tennis, golf and bicycling, which
are so good for reducing thighs
and calves, will help develop the
skinny ankle, but are not of much
value for reducing overweight an-
kles.
To make thick ankles slim and
graceful you must start the blood
circulating to burn up excess fat.
Take most of your exercises lying
down, your feet In the air so the
pulling will all come on the fatty,
dnused tissues rather than on the
By JACQUELINE HUNT
muscles you already have. This
exercise is one of the simplest and
most effective if practiced daily:
Lie on your back, flat on tht
floor, cross one knee over the
other Now take the crossed foot
first and stretch the toes over tc
the right as far as you can. then
down, over to the left, then bring
them back toward you. Practice
until you can move the feet in a
complete circle easily. Repeat with
the other foot. Do the same exer-
cise, turning the ankles and toes
at the same time.
A good exercise for both too-
thin and too-fat ankles is taken
while you stand. Both feet should
be flat on the floor, your weight
evenly distributed. Try to kneel
without raising your heels from
the floor. You can feel the pull on
the muscles and pads of flesh lust
behind the ankle bone.
A little massage will facilitate
the exercise. Sit In a chair with
one knee thrown across the other.
Grasp your ankle with both hands
and hold the flesh firm while you
rotate your foot at the ankle Joint,
and waggle it up and down. This
Is a splendid exercise, but go at it
slowlv at first or you'll have stiff
muscles.
Beautiful ankles should be not
only slender and sh^ely but
smooth-skinned and soft. Give
them a beauty treatment occa-
sionally. When »ou come home
tired from walks* or shopping
give your feet a tepid bath, then
massage some of .vour softening
cream into the skin, giving you)
ankles a gentle but Arm massage
at the same time. This treatment
Is as restful and reducing as it U
beautifying to the skin. Wipe oft
the excess cream and pat on cool-
ing eau de Goiojne.

Britain’s readiness to aid Poland
in event of war, and said that the
tense situation in Europe had not
abated since yesterday when Hit-
ler awaited the British reply to
the message sent Mr. Chamber-
lain during the weekend.
The door to peace was still
ajar, statesmen believed, hut there
was little room through which to
squeeze. Diplomats from practic-
ally, every nation wore doing ev-
erything in their power to avert
the impending conflict.
Soldiers Captured
Tension was increased on the
Slovakian frontier today when
Slovak troops killed a Polish of-
ficer and captured 150 Polish J'
troops which Slovak authorities
claimed had crossed the border.
Germany notified Denmark and
Rumania that their neutrality
would bo respected in event of
war. The neutrality of Rumnnia
would bo of distinct benefit to
the Nazis, but King Carol was
calling more men to the colors.
More troops have been eal'ed
by Belgium and in Danzig Jews
were panicy with fear that they
might be thrown into concentra-
tion camps at any time.
Wilhelm Is Mum
In Doom, former Crown Prince
Wilhelm of Germany, in exile,
followed European events closely
but remained silent nn what he
thought would he the outcome of
the German-Polish differences.
Paris prepared for any eventu-
ality and war-time preparations
were underway by the govern-
ment. In Rome, Paris and London,
Americans were evacuating as
rapidly as transportation allows. |J
Americans already had been asked '
to evacuate Warsw and Berlin.
Poland was tense today, and its
entire western front fncing Ger-

party to mediate between Poland
