will add not a little but considerable, to
your inches
There are different ways of making your
self taller. from standpoint Of physical
culture, and the easiest of all ways Is by
taking little of your waist.
This adds TO your apparent height. II YOU
are dumpy you will look short. but II you
are slender you will look tall.
This Is a universal rule.
The girl who is too fat for her height Will
always appear sawed off; while the girl
ywho is a little too slim will look a great
ideal taller than she really is.
You can only tell by measuring her. that
I she il a short girl *
The second way to make yourself look
tall is by lengthening your waist lire.
The long-waisted girl Will. Invariably look
taller than the girl who Is short-waisted.
When she is seated She will sit higher
and when she stands she viii appear to be
much longer. and all becadse OF that lovely
Icing waist line, which gives her grace and
height
