THE BODY BEAUTIFUL

SECRET OF NATURAL RHYTHM If you’re a woman and over 40 and feel pangs about the passing nature of beauty, you are the sort of person a group of middle-aged suburban women is out to succour, says an English writer. These women gathered recently in a London film studio. They were filmed at their usual everyday occupations—sewing, making beds, washing, cooking, cleaning and gardening. It was the first scene in a new series of instructional films, "The Body Beautiful,” which will show how people from 25 to 75 can keep the beauty of youth. "We shall show as one film a day in the life of a young married couple to prove that what most people consider a natural and normal life is often any-

thing but natural and normal,” the general manager said. Then the same couple will carry out their same tasks without stress. The secret is a return to the balance and rhythm of natural man which has been lost In most modem occupations. A city typist will demonstrate the wrong and the right way to go about her work to show other typists how to keep their shoulders and necks straight and their faces free from the ugly ageing lines of tire. A bank clerk will show how the man who pores for eight hours over a ledger every day may be as fresh at the end of it as he was at the beginning.
