THE NEW WAISTLINE

SLIMMING EXERCISES li: you want to acquire the new slim wai>t without undue discomfort try these three exercises, which are given by a fashionable London slimming expert to all her clients. The Drop: (1) Stand with your hands at your sides and feet together; (2) bend down with a sweep until your hands touch the ground, or get as near as possible; (3) straighten, and repeat 10 i;imes. If you have taken no exercise recently you may find it difficult to touch the ground at first, but after a week or two it comes easier. The Twist: (1) Stand with hands on hipa and feet together; (2) bend from the waist, first to the right, then forward, round to the left, back, and up again, making a complete circle; (3) repeat from left to right up to 10 or 20 times. The Slope: (l). Sit with legs stretched out in front and hands on hips; (2) raising your arms backward, bend down until your head touches your legs; (3) straighten and repeat six times. Take a breather after each of these exercises by placing your hands on your hips and bending your knees to a sitting position on your heels. Straighten and repeat six times. _ The only cost attaching to this slimmirig course is time- —and most of us have more time than money to spend these days. Also, it makes one feel extraordinarily fit.
