IF YOU’RE TOO THIN.

While most women and girls aspire to an elegant slimness, they draw the line at being considered ‘skinny,” and wish to acquire the happy medium. As a rule, thin’people feel the cold because of their lack of normal fat, and they are, many of them, perpetually hungry, complaining that their food does them no good. In some cases this means that the thyroid glands are rather too active, while in others there may be some constitutional ailment present, which would account for a poor condition. These cases require special medical attention. But the majority of the too-thin are so because they have not the energy or will not take the trouble to make good their deficiencies. What they need first of all is a good muscular foundation to build upon. This can be obtained only by exercising the muscles in one of the many sports or pastimes now at the disposal of the sex. Exercises will fill out unoleasing hollows, and will help cover too-prpnoun "edly thin limbs.
