GETT AVE you ever watched a fish
breathe?' asked dark eyed
zoe Barnett, Of Lew Fields
"AlI Aboard" company, who was seen in
FL PasO two years ago in The REQ
Rose" mo. I'm not bringing the role
OF coincidence into this interview; I
am about TO tell you the greatest
beauty secret I know. A fish breathes
visioly-yOu can see its little sides ex-
pand and contract as ii breathes deeply
and all over its body. But most women

or expand their diaphragms as much as
their stiff corsets viii let them Now

How to Breathe.
Now [ viii give you q little eLhi-
bluOn of proper breathing. and then
you would probably like a little sermon
on Just what il does for you" went on
Miss Barnett, making the intervfewer's
lot an easy one indeed.
please put your hands here on my
ribs and feel them press out and out
tn they are fully expanded by my
fun lungs and till my chest is pushed
way up by those same lungs. and all
the hollOVVs in throat and neck are
padded out and filled by the splendid
diaphragm. That is deep breathing.
Deep breathing helps you have a fig

headache starting or find an attack Of

everything about me is me and ex-

Il is worth while bringing earnest study

And in the fine glow Of an indie
pendent spirit that dares preach be-

Guided: Work hard at deep breathing [
AID at deep feeling and thinking and F..

being q woman and a worker, and a 1
