time losing only one pound of flesh.
He did this by curing the gaseous
condition that kept his body inflated
and his circumference much greater
than it should have been. Refusing
to materially change his diet, claim
ing that he was past forty-five and
that after that age any radical
change in habits, especially if sudden,
is dangerous, he was induced to eat
a little less meat and to chew well
whatever he ate. He promised to
give twice as much time to con-
Stunning beefsteak as he formerly
had done and, strange to say, self
indulgent man though he was, he
kept the promise. Beside this, after
each meal he swallowed an even tea
spoonful of what in the kitchen We
call baking soda. or in the dressing
room bicarbonate of soda, in a small
glaSsful of water. This simple
remedy aided digestion and prevented
the formation of gas. In fort
night there was a noticeable change
in his waist line. In two months
the waist was reduced by five inches,
and the banished inches have not re-
turned because he still follows the
plan l have described.
Another reason for the dispropor-
tionately large waist, | have told
you, is that the waist muscles are
overlaid with fat. This has hap
pened because the waist muscles are
among the least exercised ones of
the body. The fat must be disposed
Of in just the opposite way from that
in which it was acquired. Idleness
of those muscles caused the fat. In
dustry must remove it.
There are three exercises which.
if persevered in, will certainly dis
solve the fat at the waist line
The first is known in Paris by the
whimsical title, One hand following
the other" 1t is simply standing

erect and holding the arms hori-
zontally before you, the palms about
six inches apart, swinging the arms
from right to left and back again,
until weary. This places a direct
pressure on the seldom used muscles
of the waist, hardenS and diminishes
them, and by causing pressure upon
the fat slowly dissolves it.
The second is a more difficult one,
which can be practiced on your bed,
and is best done on awaking in the
morning. Place your feet beneath
the foot railing of the bed, and hold
ing the body securely in this way,
gradually raise the body to a sitting
posture. AS slowly settle back into
a reclining attitude. Raise and
lower the body thus at least twenty
times, unless warned by a strain
upon the muscles that you are too
greatly taxing them. This exercise
must always be taken slowly and
smoothly lest one of the internal
organs be displaced or strained by
abrupt movements. The health de-
ponds largely upon a perfect balance
of the internal organs. The displace-
ment Of one of them by fraction of
an inch may cause illness.
The third and most difficult waist
movement is that of rocking the
body. Squat as boys do when max
ing a sitting jump. Sitting thus
with the weight evenly distributed
on the muscles of the legs, place the
hands behind you with the backs of
the hands resting against the heels.
Then fancying yourself a rocking,
chair, rock evenly back and forth.
-Four times are enough for a begin
ming. Practice will enable you to
repeat the exercise twenty-five times.
Violent exercise is seldom found ben
etical to any one. But the symmetry
OF a woman's body, the soft outlines
that are so important IA part of her
charms are destroyed by any exer-
cises that unduly develop any set Of
muscles.

- INCE fashion for women is the
most fluctuating of quantities it
behooves awoman not only to
suit her figure to the mode but to
know how speedily to change it with
any change of mode. While the
woman well endowed with common
sense never made any encroachment
upon her health fund to suit the
needs of fashion nor her conception
of beauty, she keeps herself informed
as TO sound methods of increasing or
lesSening her weight. Such women
will be glad to know of the modes
that have come into vogue for making
the waist smaller. 1t is always well
to proceed from cause to effect and
the reasons for the prevailing larger
waist than the former wasplike one
are several.
First. women are enlarging the en-
tire body by Aner and more hygienic
living.
Second. whereas they used to com
press the waist to keep it down to
artificial measurements they are now
letting it out to its normal size be-
cause fashion permits freer figure.
But there are two other and basic
reasons for the large waist, neither
of which is desirable. One is a
chronic gaseous condition in the in
teStineS, which distends the waist to
far beyond its normal size The other
is the layer upon layer of adipose
tissue for which we give the shorter
word fat" that lie upon and about
the muscles of the waist. Suppose
that you learn to-day how to reduce
the waist measure from the size
gained through either or both of
these means.

Of our color madness, and | am sure
hat you in your country will be cured

Therefore | advise you to have at
least one all-black gown in your
wardrobe-preferably one of the bro

permits, be sure to get brocaded
chiffon cloth, but there are many
other figured materials which are not

bounds of possibility. Of course, these
supple skins do not wear as well as
the old-fashioned skins, but nova
days we do not buy clothes for their
wearing possibilities. We do not
hand down our gowns or furs as the
previous generations did
Perhaps the hardest blow we have
struck at economy has been the dis
carding Of the all-black evening gown.
In New York this serviceable costume
is no longer the standby of the smart
woman. But in Paris the pendulum
has swung back, and the black gown
is creeping back into favor. This is
a perfectly natural development

sheer and lovely, draped gracefully
so as to give long, straight lines.
The shades of the chiffon are just
the shades in the pearls as the light
falls on them. There is simplicity
about this costume which is very
appealing.
