MODERN TORTURE
WOMEN’S SLIMMING TRIALS LONDON, llth June. A refined torture chamber Inis appeared in Mayfair, says Lady Patricia Ward, writing in the “Daily Mail” after a visit to f lic latest slimming parlour. Here she changed into a bathing dress in a luxurious cubicle, and entered a huge room filled with every conceivable gymnastic gadget, on which many were concentrating, while many were' lying on mattresses jerking their arms and legs to the time of a jazz tune. Lady Ward first essayed the “camel,” a, curious humped saddle to which she clung while it. lurched, rolled, and swayed for three minutes. Then she mounted a stationary cycle and pedalled off miles of energy. Butov she trotted, cantered, and eelloped on a mechanical horse, rowed a stationary boat, and finally faced a percussion machine whose ‘ leather lists pummelled her body. She came out after losing half a pound in weight in half an hour.
“One certainly must suffer to lie beautiful.” she states.
