IT TOOK the ski novices TO
stumble upon a beauty secret
that has evaded the average
woman. In the course of train
ing for their first venture on the
snow, they have found that leg
contours eaH-be- NiSibly- inn
proved.
Legs that are too thick or too
skinny or Just poorly shaped as
sumo much lovelier lines as the
result of regular stretching foi
thigh and calf muscles. These
exercises can also be done by
those who never have seen a
pair of skis but who would like
more streamlined figure.
To a ski enthusiast. all that IS
Incidental. The object, Of course
is to learn to perform withouf
mishap. and that is the idea back
of the special exercises, based
on kinesiology and ski skill
worked out by Esther A. Clark
instructor at the Central branch
of the Y. w. c. A. in New York
City.
Master Balance
Before she is allowed TO go
near a ski couyse. the beginnef
must be in superb condition and
have mastered the trick of bal
ancing. But the training that
enables her to ski like veteran
also gives her a beautiful figure
and a much better pair of legs.
Miss Clark has given me
condensed sci of these exercises
TO be passed along to you. II
YOU will do the exercises accu-
rately and will really work, you
will be delighted with the re-
suits. Low-heeled shoes = or
should be worn.
Sit on the edge of a low
backleSs chair with knees a few
inches apart. feet flat on the
floor and parallel. Without
spreading the knees, slide for
ward until the weight is entirely
supported on the legs. knees
still flexed. Slide back on the
stool and repeat AS you come
off the stool. the trunk is in
clined slightly forward. but the
spine should be kept straight
with hips tucked under, lower
abdominal wall pulled up
throughout the movement.
For Symmetry
2-Same beginning position on
backless chair. This time slide
forward with weight on one fool
the other leg straight out in
'front.' heel just clearing the
floor. Bend only at hip joints
and keep trunk as erect as pos
sible.
3-Now for the sake of vari-
ETY., do this one: Stand with feet
parallel. arms held out in front.
about chest-level. Arms should
be straight, but not stiff. and
knees should be slightly flexed.
Now moving the entire shoul-
der girdle in the effort. fling
arms up for about 10 counts.

Why, he is a shy, little fell
