Normal weight is perfect weight
and symmetry Is the test Of q
good figure. To measure every
inch a lady, the hips must not
exceed the bust circumference by
more than two inches, and q
divine waistline demands an eight
inch difference between bust and
waist. Take your measurements
and see II all your curves are in
their proper places.
Normal weight is relative, and
structure alters curves. If nature
fashioned you on generous lines,
allow 10 pounds. for five feet, and
five and q half pounds for each
additional inch. If you have fine
features and small boneS,' 100
pounds is the basis for five feet,
with five and half pounds for
each extra inch.
Rounded SlimneSs
According to the beauticians,
100 pounds Of rounded slimneSs
Is ideal for the modern Venus Of
five feet four. However, it Is q
ridiculous idea that only one size
can be perfect. If your weight
is normal and your proportions
perfect for your build, that fig
ure Is perfect for you.
The world Is figure conscious.
It doesn't matter whether you are
a blonde or brunette-Short or
tall-but you MUST have a good
figurel And the unstyliSh Stouts
are not the only ones to sit up
and take notice.
Thin ladies, lacking in curves,
have cause for concern. The mere
possession Of slim lines does not
guarantee a good figure, as in
the good old days. Now even
normal weight does not guarantee
a figure for all enemy Jumps and
bulges must be SInoothed out In
the proper svelte distribution Of
the pounds.
Feminine curves without bulk
or unhealthy, flabby fat make
the silhouette. The purpose Of
this figure column is to help
you ito measure up-or down-to
today's fashion In figures.
Daily Menu
If you are carrying more than
your share Of adipose tissue, the
daily menu with the calorieS all
counted will help you to balance
the scales. UnderweightS can
pursue curves through the special
weight and health-gaining bills of
fare. For these who are too thin
in spots, and too fat in others,
we have special exercise for you.

like nothing else can on days when

which precludes anything and
everything for breakfast except
orange juice and hot coffee.

miles away. Flat and white

There Is nothing to compare
with the bleakness Of Illinois

Is beautiful only when it drapes
itself around hills and valleys.
