How t,o be happy and hlples simply roll

Thla la the hint brought back to Omaha
by a young woman who has been visiting
In England during tl Bummer, and the
Idr, has penetrated Society like a load of
bird shot would a scare-crow. Some "su
preme authority" f fashion whispered it
lo the Omaha woman w hile she waa In
the irle of tourlstry and ahe haatened to
give the Idea circulation aa soon as ahe
reached Omaha. t
But. like lot of i games which the
women play, there Is no such thing as
n elng the players, though two game for
cne admlnsiolr would not have to be ad
eitised to ' draw a large crowd of en

From -on of the women who rolls her

learned thst 'be method is quite satisfac

mrnt that it will soon be possible to pick
the women out when they are seen on the
street who have been Tolling on the floor
to put their hips where well, where they
won't clash with a decree of faahlon for a

1 "Wilti o Waist Talks."
By a young woman who knows, it la said
some of the won en have tacked long strip
of linen crash over the carpeta, either In
thclr own rooms or In the attic. Hera they
go svery morning and take the exercise.
They roll up and down the floor until they
are out of breath and then they aland up
and bend themaelve backward, throwing
the . head r well back aa though they were
gargling their' throats. But they are not.
Gargling the throat has nothing to do with
reducing the hips, but leaning back ha
some effect, and those who are willing to
jlv "watst to waist talks" on the subject
say ,the fat women have a great chanc:
and' the only direct Ion a given are to "roll
