Buckle Down And
Get Streamlined ~: By HELEN JAMESON
(Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.)

Curves are fashionable. Look at the ladies of the chorus
at the theatre, the movies and floor shows. No skinny rails
among them. Curves are neat, restrained, precisely as they
should be. Hips that are high and wide most certainly are
not handsome. Spread amidship calls for too much dry goods

and too much chair space. And it often happens that fat cells

land right there, leaving the rest of the feminine anatomy
of normal proportions. Too much sitting, not enough walk

ing, does it. But who walks these days? Nobody who can hop

into a car.

There are a lot of fluffy even-,

ing gowns being worn, but there is
also the stunning sheath effect
that shows off the ideal shape.

_An easy fit under the arms, hug
ging the waist line as if it loved its
smooth over tne hips, following
the lines of ~the thighs, afte

She. who is uniformly plump has
no djfficult problem. If she stops
feeding her adipose tissue, that
lives and thrives on fats, sweets
and starches, she can shuffle off
poundage. It is being done all the

the health. A restricted diet and
a little exercise will remove ~six.or

Lie on the back on the floor,

the right leg as high as ever you

Candidates for slimmer figures
who have not exercised may not
find it easy to buckle down to reducing~ activities. Time will help
that. As the muscles are strengthened, as adipose paddings evaporates, movements will be easier and
fatigue less
