have two-piece suits in this country,
then at least let them have a little
skirt which can be dropped off when
one gets in the water. Let swimming
have show, and let the women Of
America have a chance to develop

american Women Lack Development.
Americans have the forms upon
which to build. They only lack de-
velOpment, and swimming is the only
exercise which develops every part Of
the body and which does not create
fat. You may look at an American
woman from behind and you will
think she is a Venus. but you come up
behind her and you find she is fear
fully lacking in development. That is
all simply development. 1t is not be-
cause they have not the frame and
the body upon which TO build, they
have that to perfection. And there are
hosts Of American women. / guess,
who are getting perfect form
through natural means who use other
methods. use them when il is absolute

to go TO the public baths in Australia
and so learned swimming. With the
aid Of IL I completely cured my de-

As the result of a little judgment in
eating I am now free from all the ills
and the happiest woman IN all the
world. Ny daily program is to arise

and indulge in a simple gymnastics in

consist Of lying on the floor and rails

meal Of a similar nature, and then eat
nothing again that day.
Ice Cream Healthy.
There are two things which I be-
lieve in and which I have found DO
not injure health These are ice
cream and candy. The former is made
Of cream and is really helpful, while

candy which is good. Chocolates and
other soft candies and the unadul-

which should be eaten. These and ice

the day and generally during the aft

Lemon and water is n splendid

Next to swimming I think dancing
