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.

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.

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.
