Four Parties Set For Weekend
A trio of spring suits which combine all the new styles of the season. The first, in pin stripes, has the new long tertso line in the jacket. The second takes advantage of the popular touch of white by having a stiff white collar. The new longer bolero which made its appearance this spring is shown in the third suit.
Bad Posture Results From Copying Models
Boston (UP)—Ninety out of 100 women stand and walk incorrectly—and clothes models are to blame—says Miss Ruth Constance Duffey, Boston University's director of physical activities for women.
"A slinking mannequin looks like a million." Miss Duffey says, "and women try to imitate her—but from the waist down the beautiful clothes colt is askew.
"Her curves are right but her lines are wrong. And her influence on the average female's posture is to be lamented."
In her work Miss Duffey analyzes about 2,000 female forms a year and she has found that the average woman stands like she thinks the models do—hips forward and chest concave.
"That's bad," Miss Duffey says, "the body should be balanced around a straight line that would pass from the ear, through the shoulder, hip, knee and ankle bone—or a point slightly in front of it."
High heels are not harmful for women, if she wears them in moderation, according to Miss Duffey. But she insists, women should vary their shoes, wearing high medium and low heels as the occasion demands. The best height heel for a woman is $1\frac{1}{2}$ inches high, she believes.
Miss Duffey believes the critical improve posture and she also suggests the following rules:
Expand ribs
Put ear over shoulder by pulling
back your head.
Push shoulders down towards the floor.
Relax knees.
Lift high spot on chest. (Everyone has a high spot, she says, and if you try to put your finger on it you can't miss.)
Closing bours will be 11:45 p.m. today in order that women of the University may attend the world premiere, Othene Huff, c'40, president of the W.S.G.A., announced today.
