Graceful Figure.

There has been great deal Of talk in
recent years about the modern fem
mime figure" Some people seem to
think 1t possible for women to change
the type of their figures from one gen.
Grafton to the next. Different fashions
in clothes give color to this illusion;
panniers, bustles and tight basques
made the waist seem smaller and the
hips large in proportion. Tight corsets
squeezed the figure together IN the
middle. Ruffles made the bust seem
large; tight brassieres made it seem fiat
Through all these changes in fashion
and in feminine ideals of beauty, Old
Mother Nature goes on producing the
normal type of body that is suitable for
performing its functions in life. Stu
dents Of biology know what the average
woman seems to have forgotten, namely,
that It takes ages of time for variations
of bodily structure to become estab-
lished.
Yet some Of my readers write to ask
how to develop a modern figure" with
out bust or hips. This is impossible.
There is type Of figure, however, that
Is normal and that may also be called
modern" and it Is a graceful, we'll
portioned figure. This is the strong,
1.-the, athletic figure Of the girl or
woman who enjoys exercises and out
door sports; there is no flabbineSs about
It,; the muscles are firm and the con-
tour graceful, no matter whether the
individual be tall, medium or small in
stature. This type of figure may be ac-
quired.
While 1t is foolish for a woman to
expect to have figure like beanpole,
she need not let herself become so
padded with excess fat that she loses
grace of line. The line down the side
of the body from the armpit to the
