Camphorated oil is a splendid re-
ducing medium and will prove eff
fectual when used Immediately after
exercising. This oil should be slight
ly heated, making penetration more
complete; then, using an upward
movement, press the fingers firmly
against the flesh and run them
upward we'll past the joint of the
knee. If by chance your sudden
burst of exercise has caused the leg
muscles to feel stiff and tired this
oil will soothe and ease them for the
next exercising routine, as well as
serve to counteract after soreness.
For the under-developed or bony
knees warm olive oil should be used
in the same way as the camphorated
oil, and it will serve to soothe the
muscles and nerves, at the same
time nourishing and building up the
tissues and muscles around the
knees into beautiful feminine con-
tours.
If you wish to hasten the reducing

night and morning. followed by a
five-minute massage for each knee,
will bring wonderful results at the
end Of a month or six months.
The oil applied in the morning
may be massaged into the pores,
then, if you are going out, simply
remove the excess oil with a soft
gauze or cleansing tissue. The eve

lovely, but because they have not been displayed
long enough to be taken for granted, that their bad
points are so noticeable.
The hem line that reaches only to the knees is
indeed an awkward length, unless the wearer of such
q frock possesses unusually lovely and shapely
knees. Therefore, the skirt that reaches just a trifle
below the knees is far more attractive for the girl
whose knees are only average. IF the knees appear
too fat or too thin, moderately long skirts should
be worn until such time as the corrective treat
ments given below have perhaps changed these
members into shapely and more youthful contour.
Exercise, followed by the use of an oil mas
sage, is by far the best treatment for all types of
knees. For over-developed and bulgy knees, high
kicking proves extremely beneficial. Because Of the
