Exercises Will Help
/ Strengthen the
b. Shoulders
By Maria Jeritza
Prilna Donna of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, One of the
Most Beautiful Women
of the Day


Here are a few facts straight
from the shoulder:
You cannot look we'll in the
most enchanting and becoming
costume unless you carry your
neck. back and shoulders straight.
When the spine and neck are
straight, the shoulders naturally
fall into correct. easy position.
II your health is vigorous, it
should be easy for you to keep
your shoulders erect.
Is your right shoulder lower
than your left? This is often the
case and may be caused by
carrying all heavy weights with
the right arm by standing as a
rule with the weight on the right
leg or by playing games such as
tennis. which bring the right arm
and shoulder into play more than
the left. You can correct the de-
feet by removing the cause.
Swimming or rowing every day,
and the daily practice of shoulder
and arm exercises will help
straighten your neck and should
ers. Regular exercise will reduce
superfluous flesh and also add
needed pounds to scrawny arms
and shoulders.
Here is an exercise which
should flatten and strengthen
your shoulder-blades and straighten
your shoulders. provided you
make 1t a part of your daily
setting-up drill:
Stand with your feet about six
inches apart, pointing forward.

your feet. your back and neck

spiration and oil, exuding from
the pores, soil the garments,
which in turn rub against the
skin cuticle and cause blackheads.
The merest suggestion of lace
or chiffon draped over the upper
arms of a sleeveless frock will
help mask scrawniness, over
plumpness and blotched skin until
The Washington times., 1928-06-14

you succeed in banishing these de-
fects. A liquid powder may mask
the blackheads. Or you may pre-
fer to use vanishing cream and
powder. But the liquid powder
and also the vanishing cream are
emergency measures. They may
block your pores If used too often.
One more important point: Be
careful lest a straying shoulder
strap slip down over your arm

arms on line with your
shoulders. your elbows bent, your
fore-arms up and parallel. Re-

daily, carefully scrubbing this de-
post from your pores with a long
