Eve’s Evolution
pitOM hour-glass curves to the angular proportions of an inverted pyramid-—that is the trend of the feminine figure. So says the president of tlio Chicago Board of Health after examining tho measurements of many, girls taken on Chicago’s bathing beaches. The figures showed that “Miss 1932" has, in many instances, wider shoulders than hips. The president also expressed the opinion that Chicago, with its many athletic facilities," has rather hastened the slowly-turning wheels of scientific change. “Greater freedom of the body, sunshine), proper eating, and the lack of constricting clothing,” said Dr. Bundcson, “have done much to produce straight bones and firm muscles in the modern girl. “She burns up so much fuel in her active life that little is left as superfluous fat. Therefore her hips are smaller.
“This is a great biologic advance," said the doctor. “It fits women for the strenuous demands of present-day life.”
