Good Posture Will Make
You Sizes Smaller
BY IDA JEAN KAN

ONE OF the cleverest tips
that ever emanated from Holly
wood has to do with, girdles. A
physical trainer to the stars
thought il up. He says to stretch
so slim through the middle that
your girdle is too big for you.
Do this many times a day-and
in a few weeks the girdle will
be too big.
What this does is to case you
out of the lazy habit of leaning
against your foundation gar
ment for support. OF course.
your girdle affords a certain
mechanical support. And it
gives your figure a smooth
finishl But don't depend on il
TO uphold you in your slumping.
or TO confine your curves re-
gardlesS. You have a muscular
girdle of your own that is sup
posed to do those things.
Strong Muscles
Your midsection muscles need
to be strong. They have 10
resist the constant tug of grav-
ity, hold you in shape, and keep
you functioning efficiently. But
the little exercise they get in
the course of everyday activity
is so inadequate that they tend
to grow weak and flabby.
Special exercise for these
muscles is not a whim thought
up for your discomfort by the
exercise experts. It's a down.
right necessity-not only for
streamlines. but for health rea-
sons. Here is a set of condi-
TONERS which, added to your
stretching slim trick. will really
put you into fine form:
Lie on the back on the floor
with the feet propped on chair
or bench. legs straight. In this
position there is not the slight
est strain on the muscles COM
prising the abdominal girdle and
IT is easy for you to push down
against the floor with the small
of the back. Try il. Again!
Relax after each attempt. and
try harder the next time. You'll
notice that as the small of the
back is pushed down and out,
the hips come forward a trifle.
