trying to be a bag OF bones.
The doctors say that from fat
you get most of your endur-
ance.
l sometimes wonder just where
this craze for being thin started.
1t is quite as prevalent and most
as silly as that fad of our grand
mothers of enjoying poor health,
thank you" 1t has come to the
time when two or three women
cannot gather together without
mourning over their fat.
And the things they discuss!
From what they recommend you
get an idea that they will do any
thing but the rational thing to
reduce their fat, which is to diet
and exercise.
You seldom see a young girl
who is too fat, and that is because
most girls nowadays take plenty
of exercise. The only way to re-
duce ones flesh is to burn up by
exercise little more energy,
which means food that one eats.
Don't try to make yourself into
a bag of bones. The rag and a
bone and a hank of hair" woman
has gone out of fashion. Look
at the Venus de Milo, who since
the time she was found has been
the standard of womanly beauty,
there is not bone to be seen on
her beautiful body. She is a series
of beautiful curves from the top
of her lovely head to the end of
her broken foot.
Don't sniff and say that she
may be all right for a matron,
but her body is too big for a girl. "
This all may be true, but at least
the young girl must give pro<ise
that in time she will become a
beautiful matron; that she will

have that greatest beauty of
woman-a body that will be able
to bear strong, healthy and beau
tiful children. She must have
fine, broad chest, for with this
she can combat almost any i'll ex-
cept a broken neck. With a chest
equal to holding big lung power
she will mend a broken heart
much quicker than the little girl
who only breathes to the top of
her corsets, no matter how much
she sobs over her lost love and
broken dreams.
The girl of today who would
be beautiful must have throat,
shoulders and the line under her
arms from her bust to her feet
must be nearly straight. She
must hold her head high and her
chest up, so that she can get all
the good possible from deep
breathing.

Cover your bones with a good
coating of fat and then carry
it as if you were proud of
it, for it bespeaks good
health, as well as beauty.
