Lying on her back on a hassock or wide
stool Of any kind is good exercise for the
short girl. 1t strengthens the muscles

The girl who is short should practise
stunts, but with the arms, as well az with
the feet. The leg motions alone Will not
greatly benefit her, for it is usually In tho
waist that she is short.
There are very few short girls who are
conspicuously short in the legs The
great shortness occurs at the waist line
and above.
If the short girl will try to lower her
waist line by exercise she will find that she
has raised her shoulder line at the same
time And her shoulders, inst lead of growing
square and ugly, will take on very nice.
