are several ways in which this can be
done, including incision, freezing and

you should not attempt any of these

electrolysis to do the work. Vanishing

Reducing Fat Legs.
s. o. S.-There are many girls like
you who are thin above the waist but
very thick in the lower limbs. I would
advise you to take up swimming, If
possible. to improve the proportions of
your figure. Walking and high-kicking
exercises will also help you. There is
no way to straighten bowed legs after
early childhood except by an operation.
Unless the crookedness amounts 10 a
real defornity, do not think of an
operation. Take lessons In dancing
away from home. and then after you
have mastered the steps you can sur
prise your family by your proficiency.
My leafiet Care of the Legs" contains
number Of good exercises for reduc-
ing them. Send a stamped, self-ad-
