"FIGURE MOULDING"
SNAKE-LIKE SILHOUETTE
Women are getting into training for the spring fashions (states a writer to the "Daily Mail"). Those demand even more slender outlines than, the modes of last season. One dress salon in Burlington Gardens,. London, has started its own "slimming" centre, where clients can bo prepared for a "figure moulding" process for tho snake-like silhouette. Three trained masseuses attend tli« client, taking turns of ton minutes each. The "patient" lies on the floor on blankets and wears a tightly fitting bathing suit. Describing one of these treatments, the writer says: "A masseuse seized the patient by both ankles and moved her outstretched legs to and fro, sometimes bending the knees to tho chin, and at ethers moving them iv a circular direction." Tho course covers, roughly, a dozen movements, and only the patient's legs are moved. One movement, which has been christened "Plumpudding," is mado by bending the legs from the thighs while the rest of the body remains flat on the floor, then the legs are given a stirring motion, like the movement of a spoon in tho stirring of a pudding. Another movement consists of the legs being moved to the side and used in a rowing motion.
