FIGURE MOULDERS

Exerase and Diet SCHOOLS DISAGREE Dominion Special Service., (By “Mavis.”) London, May 4. There Is some disagreement between the two schools of “figure moulders.” But one side at least is confident that it will be settled before the olid of this week. Taking pity upon those unhappy, mistaken women who hope to obtain a beautiful figure by means of a drastic diet of dates and lemons, the “physical jerkers” are going to demonstrate to them how it is really done. To this end some five hundred city business girls, barefooted and clad only in shorts and skirts, are to gather in Hyde Park and give an exhibition of the “elephant roll.” They do not pretend that the “elephant roll” in itself is beautiful —it consists of • propelling oneself as heavily as possible ,on all fours? But they assert that no amount of “starving” will produce such a marvellously slim waistline. ; ; ■ . ■ . .• ■ J Then there is what might .'be called the crab crawl —guaranteed to produce legs as beautifully proportioned as those Of the Venus of Milo. And all you have to do is this exercise; With knees straight,- body bent forward, and palms planted firmly on the ground, you proceed ‘to shuffle backwards—the hands reinaining planted on the ground—until you find yourself stretched flat upon the grass. Having achieved this, you reverse and return to your first position. Strenuous, perhaps—but then you need never be hungry.
