Beauty Chats gyE9es Kent FORBES
To Grow Slender

BRnLAT-SAyARIN. a philosophic
Erenchman of the Napoleonic era,
once remarked that the fate of a
nation depended upon how It was
fed. Underfed nations improve
faster than overfed ones-for the
> nation, Ike the individual, who
grows fat, is marking time IL
progress.
Fat means easy living, lsziness,
or eating too much-or a combina-
ton OF all three. Many a woman
Who takes little exercise, works not
at all, and who eats a lot, remains
thin; the reason here is usually
that her metabolism is low. And
many a woman, on the road to fat
ness, has almost starved herself,
and has continued to get fatter.
Her metabolism IS high-that is,
she extracts a great deal OF nour-
ishment from her food, before it
passes on out of the body.
This matter Of metabolism enters
= great deal into any reduction
system But one thing is funda-
mental-if you eat less in food
than you consume by energy, it is
Inevitable that you viii reduce, for
the body will make up its food
from its own superfuous flesh.
Yet no sO-ys, a woman need
not go actually hungry; the science
OF food and food combinations is
50 well known, that all she need do
IS to follow certain set menus.
Otherwise, she may eat almost as
much as she likes, and almost any
thing she likes-with a few excep-
tons. These will be given in z
later Chat.
