Thank you, Miss Isabelle Lengel.
OF course, If there is one girl who

Miss Lengel Is II and weighs H.
For pastime she toys with so pound
dumbbells, swings on rings and
takes a turn In making a punching
bag beat ragtime against an over
head platform.
But when Miss Lengel gets down
to real exercises, she lifts 700
pounds, and does it with the grace
and ease that astonishes.
Miss Lengel has the appearance
of most any ordinary well developed
girl. Still she Is more than that;
she Is q bundle of bone and muscle,
nodded in the graceful curves of q
perfect physically developed
woman.
