How to Obtain
Curves of
Grace
By Maria JeritZa
Prima Donna Of the Metropolitan
Ouera Company, One OF the
Most Beautiful Women

Most Beautiful women
of the Day.
NUMEROUS inquiries reach me
~ regarding the best means or
reducing the contour Of the chest
and bust to slender symmetry.
Too often this inquiry is a yelled
way OF asking how to achieve g.
''boyish" silhouette and flat chest
which some women seem to mis-
take Tor the line Of beauty. So
7 may as well explain from the
outset that I do not believe in
drastic measures for reducing
natural curves to unnatural
straightness.
The lovely curves Of bust ana
chest must be retained Il perfect
bodily symmetry is to be achieved.
There never was a greater fall
Iacv than the idea that tightly
COMPRISING the bust will reduce
its size. All that is accomplished
by this tight binding Is to weaken
muscles from firmness to ugly
flabbiness. and ultimately increase
rather than decrease their size.
Moreover there is grave danger.
when an extremely tight brassiere
Is worn. that glands OF the neck
as well as Of the bust may be IN
1ured.
Beauty is not won in a day ex.
cept when some great illumination
of soul. some profound unselfish
emotion may transform a woman
almost instantly to an expression
Of spiritual beauty. But for the
most part. we win loneliness slow
w. surely. through wise thinking
and living and sensible, systematic
care OF the body.
All exercises that develop the
chest. are excellent also as a
means Of firming and slenderizing
the muscles of the bust. Deep
breathing. taken before your open
window the first thing in the
morning and the last thing at
night-will possibly help you more
than any one exercise, to achieve
lovely lines Of neck, throat, shout
ders. chest and bust.
The following simple breathing
exercise is as good as any for
this purpose:
stand erect with your back and
neck straight, your weight bal
anced over the balls OF your feet,
your toes pointed forward, your
arms at your sides. Raise your
arms sideways, slowly, to shoulder
level and as you do SO inhale
deeply until you can expand your
lungs no farther. Then lower
your arms to first position while
you exhale slowly. Repeat the
exercise four times, gradually
working UP to ten.
All shoulder and upper-arm ex-
arcises, as well as chest exer-
cises, tend to symmetrical chest
and bust development. Swim"
ming, rowing a boat. canoeing,
tennis and hanging washing on
q. high line are equally good
exercises for this purpose.
After your deep breathing, exer"
cises and bath in the morning. be
sure to sponge your chest with
cold water to firm the muscles,
for cold water is an astringent.
II you wish to reduce your bust,
guard against rich, fattening
foods. II you would like to in.
crease its size, drink an abund.
ance OF milk with the cream left
in.
Wear a brassiere of soft silk,
not too tight for comfort. A
rubber garment worn only when
exercising may induce perspira-
ton and so aid reduction.
The contour Of the shoulders,
bust and chest should be very
lovely, and you can cultivate this
natural beauty by simple, sensible
Bnea assures.

HORSESHOE
CUSTOM
FROZEN CHEESE SALAD

DEOPLE who believe in the
= horseshoe superstition are not
all agreed on the manner in which
IL should be hung or nailed up.
There is a wide difference in prac.
tice. One way is to hang or nail ii
toe down $50 the luck won't run
out" Others say that theory IL
all wrong. The correct way, they
maintain. is to nail IL up with the
heels pointing downward. This Is
