There was d knock at the door Of the
beauty specialists private pariors.
Come in said she, but don't ask
me TO turn around. Be seated. l can
hear you and | can talk standing. l
vas expecting you and wanted you to
see me at work
AT work." Queried the interviewer,
timidly. WIZ, you are looking out oil
the window
But [ am working just the same. l
am p.acticing the back strengthening
exercise. and | must do it standing. l
want to see how long | can maintain this
back position.
Now you see l am started upon some
new crank Of beauty. But if you doubt
the goodness and efficacy OF this, my new
cure-the Identification Of the back
| will invite you here 10 the window.
See. here comes my latest pupil in back
Identification. She has come in from
her country place to take lesson. Now
watch her get out OF her carriage. Sle
merely touches the sleeve OF the foot
man lightly, and, behold! what lovely
carriage of the back she maintains
GRACEFUL BACK.
Sure enough, from the carriage in
front of the modest apartment house
stepped a girl whose graceful figure and
lovely bearing would have won the way
anywhere without her pretty face.
She will not come in here said the
beauty specialist. She will take her
preliminary exercise in another room.
Then she will be ready for another les
son. This makes her twelfth lesson.
Twelve lessons &aaaRlete the course.
You will notice. if you are interested
in beauty" said the specialist. how
few women have a good back. The de
feet ia their makeup lies there. Their
shoulders are too high, il not uneven,
throwing out the bust too much. Or
the back is fiat. and there is an ugly,
broad lCok to tie belt. That is what
makes the shirt waist unpopular with
some women, because il gives them such
Q homely waist line at the back.
That can all be remedied, but it must
be done by rounding the back. You
will tell me l have just criticised a
round back But l did not. | criticised
round shoulders. The two are different.
4 round back means a round waist. and
if woman has a round waist she is
pretty sure of a good figure.
TO tell you what l mean, l have a
stout woman who comes here for the
identifying of her back. Her waist
measure is thirty inches, and she can
not lace. BY the time l Sc; though
with her that waist measure will appear
TO be only twenty-five inches. l shall
not materially reduce the waist, but
shall make it round and it will look
small. | have even padded small, fat
waists until they looked round, be-
cause roundnesS at the waist line takes
of four inches every time
LOW SHOULDERS.
ITO make the back take on its first
curve of beauty the shoulders must be
lowered. Thu pictures Of the famous
be7uties show those low. slOping should

lie this a little. but only slightly. In
fact. | have heSitated whether they did
affect the general shape at all. They
arc merely a pretty broadening o. the
shoulders.

sh,ulders as high "a pCSS.0'e. Then
r-u-Pr them. After she has done this a
fozen times she will find that she can
