TO ATTAIN GRACE
SIMPLE EXERCISES THAT WILL 7. AVAIL MUCH.
Symmetrical Curves Demanded by FashIon's WhIm-Good Offset to Conditions Brought About by
 sedentary Living.

While the ideal figure in the world of art and fashion to-day is tall, slen- der and willowy, there is an utter ab' sence of angles.
 Merely because woman has good height and is sparsely built does not place her in the fashionable class. Her figure must not only be of symmetri- cal proportions, but possess those long, graceful, sweeping curves which characterize the ideal figure.
 Starting at the shoulders, the line passing over the bust must be full and round, tapering to the waist. then gracefully curving over the hips and sweeping away to the feet. The ex- auisite beauty of such figures is best appreciated when studying the lines from the back or profile.
 The right kind of exercise and proper nourishment are the two mediums that will accomplish the ideal figure, both for the angular, un- developed woman and her sister who is burdened with her too weighty avoirdupois.
 Leanness is due to lack of stim- ulation by properly diversified move ments-exercise.
 Of course, there are constitutionally slender and stout people. which is usually a question of inheritance, but not always. Yet both classes may work up to an ideal figure when each pursues a course according to it's needs.
 A very simple exercise is to rise on tip-toe, holding this position for a few seconds, then lowering the body again. Try this alternately, first with one foot, then with the other, and finally both. This exercise, if persist ed in, will certainly do much for de- veloping and rounding the calf muscles and is so easy that it may be performed almost anywhere.
 Walking upstairs when properly done, is an excellent means of devel- oping these muscles, so also is noun tain climbing, but it will be some months before we are able to scale the giddy heights.
 The tip-toe exercise makes the feet and ankles supple and corrects an awkwardness of gait that some wom- en possess Try it, taking deep in halation before your open window in the morning.
 Many women complain of that tense, tired feeling about the waist. Various causes may contribute to this condition. Women accustomed to sit or stand all day are the ones
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1907-04-08

likely to be so affected. Too much in door living and lack of vigorous ex. ercise will also do 1t. When the cor. sets are worn too tight and not enough freedom given to the muscles, a sim far condition arises.
 This weakness of the muscles is disastrous internally, the pelvic or. gans, the kidneys, liver and bowels all suffer in consequence.
 A simple exercise to strengthen and develop the muscles is pictured in the sketch. Stand with feet close to. gether. bend the body slowly forward without bending the knees, allowing the arms to hang loosely at the sides. After lowering the body as far as pos sible. raise it few inches. then bend forward again. Try this exercise five times, then maintain correct standing position.
 Remember to breathe deeply as you take these exercises. inhaling at the start and exhaling as you finish.
