JUMP THE ROPE.
Ii You Would Restore Figure to IT'S
Former Sylphlike Lines.

II YOU would retain the sylphllke
form, or attain one, in case the ac-
emulation of Gdipose tissue has dis.
torted your former slenderness INTO
unsightly lines, jump the rope.
This Is what certain New York
women are spending their spare time
In doing nowadays. When you see
a woman who once tipped the scales
at 200 and now balances them at
135 you may be sure hat she has
been following the latest form of
beauty culture.
From Paris comes the beauty Gull
turist who introduced this simple
method of flesh reduction, and
though she pretends that some mls-
terious medicinal virtues emanate
from the handles of her skipping
ropes yet those who have tried the
system with ordinary skipping ropes
report remarkable results from the
sport.
AS matter OF fact, this reformcr
herself might recommend almost
anything in the line of beauty cul-
ture for flesh reduction and her adj
herents would follow it, even to
standing on their heads. if that
would do any sood, for she has
sylphlike form herself. Encased In
sheathlike corsets over which hangs
eaily princess gown of white broad
cloth she presents picture of grace

Biography.

Max Pemberton, noted az an author
and editor. was born in Birmingham,
England, June 10, 1863. He received
an excellent education in the best
of preparatory schools and at Cam
bridge University. After leaving the
university he tried his hand at several
vocations before he finally decided to
devote himself to literature. His frs
novel, THE Diary of a Scoundrel, was
published In 1891, and met with con-
siderable success Since then he has
written more than a score Of romances
of adventure and through them he
has become well known in America as
we'll as in England. That Mr. Pember-
ton has found time to write SO many
successful stories is somewhat sur
prising in view of the fact that for a
number of years he has been the edi-
tor of one of the big London maya
zines
