Play and Laughter

Beneficial Effect on Mind and Body Soya Authority
So Get Your Share of Fun Each Day.
By ROYAL S. COPELAND M. D.
United State* Senator from New York.
/ Former Commiuioner of Health \eta York City.
SINCE the beginning of time man ha* been thinking of his needs
and what is good for him. Yet there are persons today who do
not know how to play or to laugh except on rare occasions.
Such a person may say that play is a waste of time. He may

think he hasn’t time to throw away on it This
is a great mistake.
Both body and mind are greatly helped by
joyous play and a good laugh. A normal person
turns instinctively to play. Just so long as men
and women love play and embrace every op-
portunity to play old age will be left behind.
There isn t the slightest doubt that play fun
and laughter are agents of health. The nerves
are soothed by them digestion is promoted by
them the circulation of the blood is quickened
and stimulated. The heart is made stronger.
Every kind of laughter from a giggle to a
loud “haw-haw” has a favorable effect on the
one who laughs said Dr. Frederick D. Strieker
Secretary of the Oregon State Board of Health
in a recent discussion of the subject. He says
that one of the most favorable influences exerted
on the heart when a person is depressed is whole-
hearted laughter.

He explains also. Its effect on the
.lungs. The jerky movements of the
jdiaphragm in hearty laughter cause
fthe air within the lungs to be brought
to a somewhat higher pressure than
usual. This reacts upon the heart
and helps to stimulate It. More
oxygen reaches the blood in laugh-
ing and this too. has its beneficial
afreets.
You know how you feel when you
are depressed. All the world looks
dark and everything seems hopelees.
Xcw is the time to drop what you
are doing if you can. Go to the
theatre and see the funniest play

for a good game of golf or some
pother form of play. Have a good;

Stretching the rubberized method
of waterproofing over a wide variety
of fabric* la fashion’s way of raining
smartness during April ahowara
Nearly every fabric that Is approved
by fashion is offered In a rubberized
version and developed Into coate that
are both sartorially smart and light
enough in weight to be comfortable.
For instance cotton printed in a
multi-colored floral design la partic-
ularly appropriate for the flowering
season. Dispatching drabness on a
murky day I* another model of rub-
berized white rayon shantung
trimmed with black buckles and but-
tons. Purple and cximeon splashes
are prophesied by raincoats on a
fabric printed to simulate leather.
Even the popular knitted materials
are included in the group. Several
coats of rubberized Jersey and celan-
esa in plain weaves were outstand-
ing features of Avenue displays. It
does seem that this Spring the clouds
will have a colorful material lining.

Peek-a-boo decolletages are
glimpsed in many of the Avenue
windows and are sighted as a new
adjunct of the smart evening gown.
They have a coy way of half-con
cealing. half-revealing a lovely white
back that is quite alluring in effect.
Sometimes the bark seems to be a
usual low-cut decollete until one dis-
covers a cut-out of rather sizeable
proportions under the arm and
toward the berk. Sometimes the
bark Is cut with a long end. which
is pulled through the strap and per-
mitted to haag loosely over the ex-
posed portion. Again lace is cut In a
loose bolero ant flutters over a bare

Costs are dotting a new figure.
The idea seems to have its inception
at th* very centre of tho silhouotto

The nipped-in waistline achieved
either by fitting by means of 11ns
cutting or by a belt has been estab-
lished for some time. Heretofore
however fulness has been low-
placed. and now the latest style
move Is to elevate It to a higher
plane. In fact among the newly-
arrived models fulness usually de-

Smart Chapeaus For
Spring and Summer
THAT tired feeling so common in Spring can
be easily and successfully combated with
the aid of a new and good-looking hat and
a weary wardobe can be given a new lease of life
through the same prescription which is a never-
failing tonic.
The bevy of hats shown on this page show
in a delightful way just what is what for Spring
and early Summer. The first model is for present
wear as well as for later in the season. It is
of dark blue felt the upper part of the
brim being of dark blue with light blue dots
while the underbnm reverses that scheme. The
hat immediately below is of dark blue belting
and is for wear with a large coat collar. The
hat in the center circle is of hair braid in rose
beige with brown velvet ribbon and yellow and
brown velvet flowers. The jaunty little model
beneath that is of black straw lace looped up at
the side and edged with grosgrain ribbon.
Linen and ballibuntl are both very popular
millinery mediums this year and so we show you
a model of each material. The fir*t depicted in
the black square is of white linen with an
edging of smoky rose ribbon and a matching
hat-band. The other model is of blue ballibuntel
with a very cleverly manipulated brim. It is
turned up m front and is smartly draped at the
sides.
