THE 18-DAY DIET

SLIMMING CRAZE FASHIONS MADE FOR SLIM WOMEN. “ Fashions in the new collections are made for slim women/’ said a London dress designer, who had .just returned from Paris. “The mannequins look superbly elegant, for their figures are like yard-sticks. “To the stout woman the Empire silhouette is merciless. My clients of filin. hip measurement will fare badly this season.” So it looks as if slimming is to continue. In certain London restaurants all you have to do is to ask for “first day’s lunch,” “second day’s dinner,” and so on, and you are served with the approximate slimming menu. 'Phis chart is printed with the stipulation that the scheme should be embarked on only if your doctor sanctions its use in your individiWt ease. THE DIET TX FULL.
