ANONAA1NN S-~N
Opera Company. One OF the Most
Beautiful Women Of the Day.
Some OF the most popular manni-
kins of Paris are 50 thin they look
emaciated positively boriy. Also,
they are pale, with tense face,
shoulders held high. And they
walk with quick. nervous strides.
Does this mean that the ideal of
modern fashion and beauty is the
woman who looks frankly a nerv-
Gus wreck? Not at all. 1t merely
means that so many women have
ruined their nerves, injured their
health by extreme dieting, that
their needs and wants cannot be
ignored by fashionable dressmak-
ers-hence, emaciated models to
display styles suited to emaciated
women,
The tragic part of this over-diet-
Ing is that too often the victim
reaches point of shattered health
where she cannot gain back, try
rs she may, the normal curves of
health and beauty. Meanwhile.
she is ready victim of tubercu-
1osis or any other threatening dis
ease because of her weakened con-
dition. It is ridiculous to imagine
that a woman in this state of
health is either beautiful or allur-
ing. She is, at best, an object to
call forth pity because Of her pre-
maturely aged, drawn face and
the nervous suffering 1t indicates.
II you are distinctly underweight
and cannot gain the needed pounds,
put yourself under your phys1.
clans care and follow instructions.
You may have formed the habit of
breakfasting on several cups OF
black coffee ; order to keep up
your strength without the neces-
sity OF eating-a pernicious dieting
idea. AS a result, it may be you
no longer care for anything else
but coffee in the morning.
Reduce your coffee to one cup,
and take, in addition, the juice OF
two oranges, a slice of buttered
toast and, even though you may
prefer not TO do so, a saucer Of
cooked cereal with sugar and
cream.
Halfway through the morning,
treat yourself to an ice-cold milk
and-egg drink-an egg nogg, egg
chocolate and egg matted milk.
Sip it slowly. Add to yourzfavor-
ite salad at luncheon, mayonna1se
dressing and, omitting coffee, order
q bowl of cream soup.
At night, eat. fresh creamed
vegetable, potatoes, bread with
plenty of butter, a little meat,
salad and ice cream or any. other
cream dessert. A cup Of hot choc-
oIate before retiring will be wise,
or IL you prefer it, a cup Of hot
milk.
But nourishing food Is not the
only agent that will help fill in
wrinkles and change bony angles
to beauty curves. Exercise in the
fresh air is essential. Stroll along
the pleasantest path or avenue
available, in order to enjoy your
walk and build up. not use up
energy. Breathe deep, for you
need plenty Of fresh air in your
lungs, and oxygen in your blood
to keep normally well and plump.
Decide that you will not waste
your energy by fidgeting. fretting
and fussing. Chase away worry
thoughts, laugh them off. You can
if you win. Take life as a pleas
ant adventure, always ready for
whatever comes expecting the
best.
Night and morning pat a nour.
ishing cold cream onto your race,
neck, ears and where you wish to
pad the muscles with little more
fat.
The following cold cream Is ex"
cellent for this purpose.
Oil OF sweet almonds, ounces;
pure Ianolin, / ounce; cocoa butter.
1 ounce; spermacetf, n ounce;
white wax, Y ounce; rose water. ,
ounces; oil of roses, a few drops.
The young woman with suffi'
cfent padding of fat to keep her
nerves nourished Is. other things
being equal, lively. poised;
charming comrade. Her figure
has natural, slender curves OF
beauty and health. Her breath is
wholesome, her eyes are clear.
She is the kind Of girl. whether
she be blonde or brunette, that
gentlemen prefer.
