There are too many fat FOLK IN
the world. They say so them
selves, and complain of the dis
figurement and discomfort or eN-
cess flesh. There was even fat
flapper at dance not long ago,
shaking u frenzied skirt that, scant
though it was, the circular dlmen-
sions were twice the longitudinal

means, it was short and she was
wide. Her big sport heels came
down right-smart hard. Dancing
was q serious business TO hef.
THE poetry of motion was hlgh
brow stuff in her young life. It's
awful to get to the place where
YOU never can see your Walsthne'
save in mirror; terrible TO see
your neck shrink TO a shoe-strlhS
line around your throat and watch
yourself grow an assortment OF
chins when one is all you need for
good conversation. When your
arms get as large as the legs of a

to the kid now is it? There is
one nice thing about n fat person,

| lust shakes out on the air as

nothing stingy about that.
Do you know there is a beauti-
| full country. filled with treasures
of art. wonderful buildings, cities
beautiful mountain scenery and If
you live in some parts of 1t a few
weeks you can get thin, Q so thin?
You can almost look through your
skin and watch all your interior
furnishings at work, only, by this
| time, you're not interested in any
| thing much but food. Where can
you get it--any kind of food? You
don't order it in Russia; you steal
it, kill for it, grovel for 1t like the
beasts. But you don't want to &c
| to Russia to reduce. 1t doesn't
sound inviting. Well, try this
then. Pause with the last forkful
of food, you don't need it, Eat
half your dessert; quit the table
feeling a little hungry. Tell your
| wife you like T-bone as well as
porterhouse, one slice will do for
two, give her the 2 IL by Pinch
piece of tenderloin on one side OF

/ have saved about 80 cents: go RICH,
now and put it in the handkerchief

of Europe. Do you like to have q

Very fattening. Get an all-daS

and your figure. DO you, lady
dear. grab off your hat, catch your

and buy another dollars worth OF
nets and don't bother? A triflinp
thing, but in a year those extra
hair nets, reduced to money, would
buy warm little red soX for blue
little legs. And you, Mr.. Daddy

are, in that gesture, putting your
personal indulgence above q very
precious thing? OF course you
