Put-of-till-tomorrow calisth enics make- good conversation but bad figures. Easy chairs are full of 'em. . Sometimes a pep talk by an expert who paints a flowing fu ture picture of the shape we could be in inspires action. Just such an expert passed through here the other day on her way from a day-long calisthenics demonstration in New Jersey to her own bodyshaping headquar ters in nearby While Plains, N.Y. Ten Minutes- a Day '"Give me 10 minutes a day and within two years I can take 15 years off the age of your fofy," she said. Tvlaturally, we- immediately promised to provide the 10 daily minutes. q Bonnie Prudden looked un convinced. Promises she gets all the time. But people who ac tually do devote 10 minutes each day, "not every day but Sunday, but every day," she said, to proper exercises for their figures are hard to find. Miss Prudden is 42 years old with a figure at least 15 years younger. She is a director of the Institute of Physical Fitness in White Plains, and the author of a book soon to be published called '"Is Your Child Really Fit?" She says '"forget how much you weigh," when you start try ing ta re-shape yourself. It's the measurements that count. She gets as many people who (We the proper weight, yet out of shape, as she does overweight people. Her pupils are from four years old to 80 years old.

"It is sometimes easier for me to get a woman of 35 in shape than to sheipe her 13-year-old daughter," Miss Prudden said. She says the average woman past 30 who comes to her in stitute has weak and soft ab dominal muscles and is begin- ! ning to get excess fat at the j hipline and the waistline. Many ask her how to keep the upper part of their arms firm. She recommends "simple pushups" for the latter problem, begin ning with only letting your body down to the floor slowly to strengthen your arms, adding the pushing up later. "I give women a variety of exercises," said the body build er, cliff climber, ski expert and mother of two daughters. "You should see women of 65 skp across the floor and do African jumps after a few months."

Cold's hE2 Pain I TOOTABLETs' 49C ' Monday, March 5, 1956 Lack of Royalty At Rites Worry To Monegasques By ROBERT AHIER United Press Correspondent Monte Carlo, Monaco UPJ How much royalty is going to show up at the big royal wed ding next month. This question is bothering a lot of tourist - minded Monaco residents as preparations go ahead for the April 18-19 nup tials of Prince Rainier and Grace Kelly. There's a grim possibily that Prince Rainier himself may be the only royal personage for the 100,000 wedding visitors to look at. British There? "Do you think the British royal family will come?" total strangers are asked by worried Monegasques. Ditto the royal families of Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy, Spain, France and other Euro pean countries. Most of them don't have thrones, but their presence would do a lot to liven up a wedding. The reason for concern is Prince Rainier. Europe's royal families it is feared, may give him the same brush-off which he, on occasion, has given them. Slays at Home Out of shyness or lack of in terest, the handsome bachelor prince always has found an ex cuse to avoid royal shindigs out side his own small storybook realm. He even dodged the corona tion of Queen Elizabeth II, and everybody who was anybody went to that one. Besides Rainier's aloofness to royal society there is the matter of publicity. A lot of Europe's bluebloods are said to be turn-' ing up their well-bred noses at their wedding invitations be cause of all the advance bally hoo. Their complaint is that the oc casion will be less a royal wed ding than a final scene from an MGM musical.

ON PHYSICIAN'S PRESCRIPTION ONLY Men's New Spring Clothing Shows Far-Eastern Influence By ELIZABETH TOOMEY United Press Correspondent New York (U.R) Don't be surprised if your husband comes home this spring with a puggree band on his Easter hat, Chines lettering on. his bamboo-colored socks and a Mandarin xollar on his new sports shirt. It's the Far-Eastern influence, the same one that has women wearing turbans, Oriental sheaths and Indian saris. , Men get a gentle introduction to any "new look" in their wardrobes. So behind the scenes in the men's fashion industry the Oriental influence is referred to in cautious terms. "We're starting with the hat bands," a hat manufacturer said. "We use the puggree drape, copied from the scarf wound around an Indian helmet, new colors and occasionally sneak a bow in the back. Changes in men's fashions are slow." Madras plaid shirts, introduc ing the muted Oriental shades in sports shirts, are one shirt manu facturer's answer to acquainting men gradually with Far Eastern colors. . New Colors Another fnen's hat manufac turer has' named its spring felts colors "teakwood, hemp, Malay and coffee bean." Sock manufacturers aren't so subtle. Men will be able to buy nylon stretch socks in that bam boo shade mentioned' above, with Chinese lettering down the sides. They also can purchase socks in an Oriental shade called Navy Mothers' Club Announces Meeting Tuesday Morning Rogue Valley Navy Mothers' club will meet at the home of Mrs. L. C.

Or they can cross their legs and reveal lacquer red socks with a Chinese bird em broidered on each ankle in black. One men's hat manufacturer has - hired a woman whose job it is to acquaint other women with these new style changes. "We are continually troubled with women's influence in our business," Caye Christie, fashion consultant for Lee Hats, ex plained. "She buys shirts and ties and socks with confidence. But when it comes to hats, she is unsure. She is afraid her hus band will look ridiculous in a different style." More . Dimensions Miss Christie's company set tled for subtle new Oriental colors in felt. They're also try ing a new "three dimensional'' brim which' should be a solution for men hesitant to try the new narrow-brimmed hats. The brim is two inches wide oh the sides, one-eighth of an inch narrower in front and one-eighth of an inch wider in .back. . . . The other . ' foreign flavor that's creeping - into .men's de signs comes from Italy. Horizon tal stripes on dress shirts will be one new spring time example. Narrow-brimmed hats and slim cut suits and tapered, calf length sports slacks also come from Italy. New Shoe Fashions Show Influence Of East in Both Color and Material St. Louis The Shoe Fashion board oi SV Louis believes that Eastward lies the new shoe di rection. This direction is indicat ed by Orientally inspired ready-to-wear such as side-slit caftan coats, frog-fastened mandarin jackets, coolie hats, tunic coats copied after those of Indian princes, and ankle-length trousers. While costume designers are Americanizing the fluid fabrics of " -dian saris, the intricacies of Persian embroidereies and the intensity of indigo, Chinese' red and gold, the 'lure of the Orient also captures the imagination of St. Louis shoe designers. They're turning tapered toes to the East in low-sided' slippers, pumps, and mules taken from authentic examples of . Oriental shoemaking. Thong sandals, banded or twisted sandals ex press themes they've borrowed from India, Tibet and Japan. For play and leisure footwear, they turn toes .upward and cut wedges to-exotic new slimness. But-.it is through the use of resplendent colors and Far East ern materials that St. Louis de Your Guests Attend; Duplicate Club Mrs. Harold Jaffrey, Camp White, Chester Kurzet, Portland and Berg Marten, Medford, were, guest players for the last, .meet ing of Riverside Bridge club.

Just imagine leathers reflecting water clear colors copied from Japa nese water tints . . . the pale yellow of cane, the pink of a cherry blossom, the blue of a morning glory, the peach tone of an azalea, or the soft green of a chysantheum leaf. Rising in the East, too,, are the brilliant sun colors: Persian pink, Mandarin red, turquoise, gold and jade ... these and other vivid leather tones travel the southern, fashion orbit now and will ascend with the sun to a northern spring. In leather as well as in fabric, shoe designers also make excit ing use of tapestry, prints bor rowed from all parts of the Orient. Intriguing gold touches hint further of an Oriental mood. While gold kidskin frames these Oriental prints, it also serves as underlays and piping for solid leather tones such as Persian pink and cane. - : - ' '- Natural silks in the pale biege tone of unbleached flax or in the cool grey tone of unpolished rice tell a texture story in footwear.
