Garden Work Reduces Hips.
Work in gardens l tell women who
come to me to have their hips reduced .
said the beauty woman, who certainly
improves the looks of those who follow
her advice. There is nothing better for
the figure than to work in stopping
position, as is necessary when garden
ing. 1t needn't be Il big place, for as
much muscular exercise can be secured
by working on a strip ten feet long and
four feet wide as when the garden is
large.
IF woman is really in earnest about
becoming slim, she will use just the same
muscles tending a flower bed as she
would in a gymnasium. OF course gar
dening is like everything else. It can be
done so there is no benefit to the figure
Even then. though. the work out of
doors helps to clear the complexion. The
extra amount of water drunk because of
the thirst gardening induces acts excel
ently for the system. I'm seriously CON
sidering having glassed in roof garden,
a real one, with deep loan and imple-
ments for working when autumn begins
1t will be an expensive treatment for
those who take it then, but now they
can get the same benefit free if they
are out of town
"Wceding seems prosaic, doesn't it,.
but it's a great hip and waist line re-
Queer. | know one woman who took
two inches from her girth by cutting out
her iris bed. She did the work partly to
improve herself, and she stood for it
properly. That isn't slang. It's a fact
The figure is not benefited By squat
ting on the ground to weed or prune, or
by being on the knees for it, 4 woman
must stand squarely on her feet and
bend down from the waist for her work
If she lets her knees give any she might
Just as well sit down.
Won't bending from the back and not
from the knees, make her lame? is the
first thought. And it is a true one, be-
cause she will be using cords and muscles
that are soft and habby. As she hardens
them. however, the waist line and hip
measurements will go down.
"One Of my patients came in here the
Iother day and told me she wanted to de-
veIop her arms and neck; they were thin.
Go home and run the lawn mower
told her. Stand straight while you do it..
and push from your shoulders Nothing
better for giving pretty arms and full
neck.
If. while she is doing this out of doors
work. a woman will learn TO breathe
deeply, she can make herself look ten
years younger in a season. It's a shame
