Mary?" Is it all right to intro.
duced people that way
3. Would it be all right for me

THERE'S nothing like a snow
storm to test cosmetics, and
so Rosalie is Drawing baby bliz-
gard just to find out if the new
eyelash dye does everything and
withstands. everything as it prom
ises on the box. It is supposed to
last until a new growth come in
and that's lot to expect of an
eyelash dye since eyelashes seem
to grow so slowly, If the dye
doesn't live up to her expecta-
tions, Rosalie may resort to some
of the new artificial eyelashes that
are made especially for street
wear. These curtains" for the
windows of the SOUL are easily
applied and are supposed to stay
stuck" Thinking of such arti-
fices brings to mind the new
face lifters for which RosaIie
has, as yet, no need, They are
worn beneath the hair and lift
sagging lines almost like a surgi-
cal lift.

How to Obtain a
) Symmetrical
Figure
BY Maria Jeritza

READER of my column told
"A me in a recent letter how
she achieved and retains slen-
DER, symmetrical figure.
This young woman. it seems,
has little time to devote to ex-
ercise. Her work requires her
TO stand all day. But she has
found a way to exercise her mus
cles while standing quietly at
her post of duty.
When she has half a moment
to herself, she lenses the muscles
of her body. She tries to enumer-
ate all the muscles she can con-
sciously control at such a time,
to make sure she has flexed them
her toes, foot joints. ankles,
calves, knees. thighs. hips, stom-
ach. abdomen. chest. spine, neck
fore-arms biceps, jaws. While
she lenses them. She inhales
deeply. then holds breath and
tenseless several seconds. Finally,
she relaxes gradually, relaxing
control consciously of one muscle
after another while she slowly
exhales.
Many times each day she re-
peats the tensing exercise. which
supplies and lmbeTs nearly all
her muscles. 1t is surprising
how this exercise. if practiced per
rfgtnva4Irr ,;t.oa11o tfC,, nf
blood through the tissues, burn
ing away superfluous fat.
The wise young woman to
whom / refer gives especial at
tention to fleXing the muscles of
her abdomen. She constantly
pulls in these abdominal muscles,
then tries to draw them upward
as well. As a result the muscles
of her waist. hips and abdomen
are slim and hard, forming nat
ural corset and giving her the
slender, graceful athletic silhou-
cite which is so highly regarded
today.
One great advantage for you
of the tensing exercises l have
just described is that you can
practice them at odd moments, as,
for instance, while you are wait
ing for street car, without at
tracing the least attention,
The abdominal muscles hold the
vital organs in place, which is an
other reason for keeping them
strong, supple and active. The
first sagging of these muscles
brings a thickening look of age
and deterioration to the body.
Here is another invaluable ex-
ercise for the muscles of the
waist and abdomen; stand straight,
your heels within an inch of eacn
other, neck and spine straight,
your arms extended TO your sides
on a level with your shoulders.
Draw your abdomen in and, hold
ing it tightly, rotate your trunk
as far as you can TO the right.
then to the left. without moving
your hips. Do not hold your breath
while you practice this exercise.
Repeat it from five to ten times.
1t is really a strenuous exercise
and should be taken slowly at
first
You should. of course, eat SEN
sibly. of non.fatening foods as
well as exercise, if you are trying
10 remove a roll of superfluous
flesh from your hips, waist and
abdomen. Your reward should ne
not only increased youthful sien.
derness but wonderful sense of
well-being and joy of living, which
Is the very essence of charm,
beauty and youth.
