knee and from the knee to the ankle
should achieve the same curve as does
llogarth's line of beauty The instep
must be high, and IN standing the per-
feet figure should be able to achieve
what is done by the finest model in
French studio; that is, have a silver
piece thrown at her, which, lodging be-
tween her knees, remains there, while
the ankles, because Of their smallness,
permit another coin to pass between
them and hit the wall behind her. Eng

apt to be most beautiful above the waist,
but striugy and fiat below it.
VENUS ADMfREs THE AMERICAN BEAUTY
The American woman has the hand
soonest hips in the world, and if an Eng
fish woman could be cut off at the waist

Then he sat down. One of the women
said "The trouble is that. while the
average woman wants to know how to
have beautiful bust, she isn't willing

used by her on the girl children Of her
mistress from the time they were 12

with soft towel-by-the- harsh
towels were never meant for women,
only for athletes and dogs. After this
she PUT a little olive oil in the palm of
her hand and rubbed each side spheric-
ally. Then the girl child was allowed
to go to bed and to sleep. The next
morning, when she got up, the bust was
again washed in VAIN water, and then
given spray with cold, which was to
make it firm. This treatment is simple
but sure. How many people remember
that the most beautiful pictures of the
nude invariably show small busts.
llenner's lovely modest women would
lose their modesty if their busts were
not small and rather low. Swinburne,
Dante, Rosetti, indeed, all of the great
poets, have written of beautiful women
as small breasted, liihe, with hips like
flowing curves However you may
have the most beautiful figure in the
world, and ii will be as nothing if you
walk badly. Make your girls try this

the basin filled to the tor and walk
rapidly without spilling drop.
