Wake Up Routine

Those who are troubled with
early morning fatigue, might
like to try Lucia CAROLS wax
ing-up system. Miss Carroll must
keep slender camera lines for
her role in Captains of the
Clouds" so she begins her ex-
ercises just as soon as she
awakens.
Here are the movements:
First she draws In five deep
breaths and expels them quickly,
then five more which she expels
to the count of 10.
With feet wide apart, she
bends from the hips and touches
left hand TO right toe and right
hand to left toe.
Her knees are held rigid and
abdomen pressed in fiat. This
is an old standby but will do
the slenderizing if done regu-
larly twice every day-more for
overweights.
Exercises should be done with
energy and vigor. The movements
that require no muscle strain
will do nothing for the figure
and are more apt to increase
measurements than reduce them.
