Burba one evening for a swimming party. 4 Shorter skirts are causing the comeback of the jewelled garter. One New York jewel ry store is featuring the jew elled leg bands for wear just above the kneecap. The firm said the price range is any where from $125, for a garter with amethyst buckle, to $12, 000 for one with a glittering diamond flower set in a black rosette on a red velvet band. Ironing is quicker if you use circular or ' curved mo tions instead of jerky back- and-forth strokes.

By PATRICIA McCORMACK United Press International New York (CPD Try imi tating the physical feats of an 18-month old child prefer ably male for just one day and, I guarantee you'll wind up deader than a door-nail. But it's the best exercise In the world, if you don't mind discovering that your body isn't as young as your spirit. I speak from personal ex perience and have the black and blue marks to prove it And when he learns to write, my 18-month-old Chris will tell his version. It will start out "What fools . ; ." At any rate, I lasted only until a little after noon be cause I had turned purple and feared that parts of my ana tomy never would recover from running about like a minute-miler. Besides, just then came time to stand on a bed and make like a ping - pong ball. No bounce. I ran up the nearest thing to a white flag a diaper and collapsed on the bed. May be it's all those vitamins and smashed bananas the child's been getting. Thirty - pound Chris didn't run out of bounce not until nine that night! Early Start I started out at 6 a.m. and at a slight advantage. I didn't have to climb over the rail of a crib, when Chris woke me. Bui from then on, I tried to imitate his every motion. First we padded up and down the hall and knocked on every one's door. After we had done that 10 times, we established a beach-head in the kitchen. On all fours we rooted un der the cabinets, pulled out drawers and for a while flat on our stomachs, pushed around the dog's water pan. I cheated a bit during break fast. In the interests of diges tion, I refused to wave both arms in the air with every spoonful. To cooperate in the experi ment, a smirking father did the dishes and I continued my child's play. For some season, the time had come to roll on the floor and preferably, un der the furniture. Another breather. I didn't fit. But time wasn't on my side. Chris quickly tired of that sport and we suddenly were running back and forth across the living room. He called it "peek," and I just panted after him. The room is 20 feet long and I figure it took him two and one-half of his steps to cover a foot. I tried to shorten my steps to that and it was tiring. So much so, he lost me after the seventh round trip. I figure my son covers a good five miles each day. Takes Breather Later, we both stretched out on the floor, to gaze a while at a bird on the porch. Relaxing this way, to an 18 monther, means' waving both legs in the air and playing patty-cake. This is followed by several minutes of meditating on the beauties of the floor. The po sition: feet flat on the floor and palms and head down in front of them. An upside down "u" which I can make only on a broken typewriter. Chris had even worse things in store: reclining on the floor and making a side-ways "U" bringing both legs up over the head. I failed that one, too. The phone rang and I thought a breather. But be fore I could pull myself to a standing position, he had sprinted through two rooms and had started a monosyllab ic conversation, the phone hanging over his back. So went the first and my finest hour. I failed the walk ing - along - the - arm-of-the-couch test and there just was n't room for both of us on the cocktail table. In the interests of fair play, I tried hoisting myself on and off a kitchen cabinet later while he climbed on and off a chair. After all, he's only three feet tall and chairs, for my five and a half-feet, are kid stuff. 1 "S ii'-t ( Modeling a back to school plaid Dan River gingham dress is Cheryl Ann Summers, 1958 Little Miss Cotton.

Good Meat Needed For Steak Broiling Chicago (UPD Steak ex pert Al Farber says the sec ret of a good charcoal-broiled steak lies in the quality of the meat. It should have a marble coloring of white and red and there should be a ring of fat around a sirloin or a porterhouse. To prepare, pre-heat the broiler including the grill to at least 750 de grees. Then lay the unseason ed steak over the grill. A rare steak takes about four minutes to broil. Farber cooks one side for three min utes and the other side for one minute. He says this method seals in the natural flavor and juices so they won't run out when the meat is turned. Medium rare steaks should char for about six minutes, he says, and medium steaks take about eight minutes. Steak well done? Farber gives no advice, because he never prepares one that way if he can help it. MEASURING CUPS . i Can you tell the difference between cups designed for measuring dry ingredients such as flour and sugar and cups designed for measuring liquids? Both types are made in glass and metal. They may be flared or straight-sided. However the right cp for measuring liquids, such as oil or milk, has an extra rim above the 1-cup line. The ex tra space guards against spill ing when the cup is handled. It also provides more accurate measure when the cup is at eye level. Measuring cups for dry ingredients must be filled to the top. They can be level ed with the edge of a knife. If you are looking for rec reation, information or educa tion you will find it in books at your Medford public library. ailUlWilUIMUillililUillWUiiii America knows its bourbon and its I i JLH.l'VJLJLt ACJ i PRICE REDUCED! novo only SQ15 $485 flf light, mild 86 proof Old Crow by , far outsells any bourbon in the land a,,,niniiiiiiflHiimmmmnmnmimiii"miiinmiMiiMMiimiinHniHin THE OLD CROW DIST.
