ROYAL ROAD TO BEAUTY.

There is just one royal road to
beauty, and that is good health. To
try TO mold a beautiful figure and a
pretty face out Of an unhealthy body
is as impossible as it would be for an
architect TO build his foundation on
a bed of sand. Before you try your
beauty exercises 10 reduce the hips and
waist and to fill out the hollows of
the neck stop and think if you have
the physical foundations to build on,
If you find you are anaemic, exhaust
ed and tired, postpone the beauty ex-
ercises and pass your time resting and
getting strong. Sleep as much as you
can, take long walks, drink lots OF
water and do not eat many sweets.
