Beauty Chats
BY Edna Kent Forbes

Ever since short skirts have been
in fashion one notices a peculiarly
of appearance about many otherwise
very pretty women. That is, the leg
seems to begin at the ankle and goes
straight up without curve or a pref
tily rounded line for as great a dis
lance as the skirt reveals it; which
parenthetically, in these days is nc
inconsiderable distance.
Many women who weigh about
what they should and who live mod
erately active lives are badly devel
oped in the calf of the leg and ankle

son for this unless il is that they

exercise is swimming; and still anoth-

which any woman can practice is as
follows:
Stand as much on the toes as pos

in a pair of heelless, soft-soled bed
room slippers that will allow the toes
to spread Raise yourself up on the
toes, remain SO for ten seconds, relax
SO the body rests on the entire foot
once more Repeat this 80 or more
times and practice it twice a day as
