~ ETwEEN the ages o: % and 20 a
woman should not grow Older in
W. her looks.
There IS no reason Why she
should not stand still, and be just as young.
as far as her appearance IS concerned. at
III" end Of these ten years. which are in 10
As at their beginning.
Again. a woman MAY take a halt at 80.
and from 70 to 80 she need not add a year
to her looks.
Thirty has always seemed a sort Of divid-
ing lIR, though for what reason no ore
clearly knows.
At 80 a woman begins TO grow fat; at %
her hands begin 10 lose their pretty plump
mess, and TO grow shaDelees: at 20 she loses
the modulations in her voice, and her skin
gets into little creaser.
It is the old maid line. y nature is al
lowed to say the word.
But nature Is thwarted these days and
a woman will slip past 30 without letting
you know that she has done so.
Chauncey NJ. Depew declares that he at
tended a wedding al which the bride DID
not look a day over %
She registered ~ on the marriage books.
He described her as blooming and slen-
der, with a figure Of e. girl Of i6.'
Probably the secret OF her looks lay in
her figure. for. with 4 young figure. a great
deal can be done.
IL you are slender you can look young
even though you are past 20.
If you are inclined to be dubious OF this,
take a woman of %. OF spindling figure. and
stand her with her back TO you.
Surely. she might nc -. But take a fat
woman of 20 and she will look her age,
face and figure.
II seems to be fat. after all. which is
the secret or age. Add pounds and you add
years. Take away the pounds and the
years vanish
NATTER OF DRINKING.
The woman who L. too stout want. to ger
accomplish this.
She tries one remedy and she tries an
other, but the pounds stick fast.
Too often. after awhile. she gives It up
as an impossible task. and settles down 10
Old age and fat.
To the woman who is a little too stout as
we'll as to the one who Is very much too
fat. there can be laid down one statement.
and that is the one which affirms that fat
can be removed.
Any fat woman can reduce her weight
and. what is more, she can reduce to any
extent she desires.
The woman who weighs lis pounds can
get down to 40 pounds. and she can 90 it
very easily. and as quickly as she wishes.
The woman who IS too stout knows that
she must exercise.
That is a fact beyond dispute. But. along
with the exercise. she must diet.
There is no royal road to the losing Of
flesh.
You must get rid Of # IN the same manner
in which you got II, through the medium
of the stomach. Fat is made of food.
You can starve yourself into thinness
in three weeks, but this IS bad for the
stomach ard bad for the system.
Your could. were you SO inclined, go en-
tirely without food in the stomach for two
whole weeks
II you are very short. you viii not starve
in one week longer. provided you have
good water to drink. =
But this is unpleasant and not lasting.
The fat will come again when you begin
TO eat
II is better BY far TO learn how to eat
nationally. and then YOU can keep it up
with a definite gain to the system in the
matter of strength 9
lar. while made OF food. is also made
largely of the fluid which goes with the
food "
were possible to do this. you would never
grow stout
But YOU are compelled to drink and it IS
through the fluid that the tissues are led
aad fat is built III.
The fat woman is usually very thirsty.
she drinks more than her lean sister or
lust as much, when. in reality she should
drink a great deal less
And 50 the evil work OF fat building.
