The number Of specialists, mostly women
who treat women for supertiuous avoi7-
dupois is growing all the time. They
never seem to lack patients, and one or
two drive expensive turnoUts and import
dreams Of gowns. Each establishment
has its own method of restoring shape
and comeliness, but they agree i'll this
one particular, treatment is paid for by
the month and the reduction process IS
timed to your wishes-you may take 1t
fast or you may take it slow.

devote yourself to your figure, you are
trained down in three months, though
you may find it difficult matter to sum-
mon strength to walk three blocks when
the business Is fairly under way. II you
can't afford to weaken yourself in such
fashion, the period is doubled, and in six
