One of the psychological reasons
Tor the marked success of this

as long as possible the effort of ris-
ing. In those happy days before
ones body became sluggish and fat
there was a feeling of lightness in

one felt youth coursing through every

Not until miladys figure begins to
grow too heavy around shoulders,

realize that there is something wrong
with her diet or manner or living.
The Discrimination toward physical
activity that has been growing on her
for years passed unnoticed, but it
has been the underlying cause or her
beauty problems; il this lazy tendency
had been checked as it began to show
itself in her twenties or early thirties
her figure would still possess the 1.-the
grace Of youth.
The quick, jerky motions of the
nervous person should not be con-
fused with the spontaneous liveliness
of those whose physical perfection is
a well Of youth and vivacity. NerV-
our types seldom have good figures
or correct posture, because they do
not know how to relax and balance
the weight of the body gracefully.
The point / wish to make today is
that unbecoming deposits of fat al

of activity to be supplanted by mid
