KEEPING SLIM

SOME SIMPLE EXERCISES. (By Gym). If you wish to be in the prevailing fashion without injuring your health with noxious drugs, keep your diet within reason and attain the slim silhouette by means of exercises. The following, if faithfully and regularly performed for five minutes night and morning, will considerably reduce your hip measurements and enable you to slip into the “little frocks” you ad* mire so much on other girls. EXERCISE NO. I. Remove all hampering garments. Take a firm footstool and place it in the centre of the room where it will be possible to swing the leg freely without smashing the furniture. Stand on the left foot only upon the footstool, letting the right leg hang limply at the side. Then svying the right leg outward as far ns it will go and backwards. Do this ex excise five times, and then repeat the process with the right leg placed firmly on the footstool and tho left, leg swinging. Continue the exercise for five minutes, changing legs after each fifth swing. EXERCISE NO. 11. Stand firmly on both feet in the middle of the floor with head raised and body erect. Rest the hands on the hips. Raise the right leg and kick as high as you can, resting your weight upon the left leg. Return the right foot to the ground and rise on the toes with both feet.

Now return to the original position,— that is with both feet firmly planted upon the ground and kick as high as yovt can with the left leg. Continue this exercise, changing from leg to leg, for at least five minutes.
