Are You Fat?

You know you can not stay fat, don't
you? That is, you cannot be fat and be in
style. The day when a fat woman was
tolerated is passed. Nowadays all women
must be in proportion or be ridiculous This
does not mean you should become skinny,
however. You should not get below the
hard flesh line. All you ought to lose is
the bulky fat. That done you will find
yourself to be a we'll formed and therefore
handsome woman.
Now, how can this be done? BY exer-
cising and dieting? Yes and no. These
two means will bring some results, but not
easily nor soon. one is very hard work
the other is torture. Besides, neither can
be depended on to cause a uniform reduc-
ton. They may take off fleshy shoulder,
for example, and leave the double chin un-
touched. What you need, you see, Is some
thing pleasant to take that, without injury
to your health. will take the fat off uni
