(Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Ine. ) If a woman will devote fifteen minutes each day to a few simple exercises she will never have to worry about the middle-age efigure catching up with her. The man whose muscles are soft ercise as much as nifen do. ~Women need ex and flabby, who leads an easy, settled life, is the contempt of his fellows.. It can be said, in safety, that few women | stick to-exercises after they have started them. They~re too | busy, or they forget. But they will rue their neglect. Slack muscles destroy youthful outline. the belt, the back and shoulders thicken. The bulge appears below There~s. plenty of time to be found for complexion tinting and hair curling. Why not ~; few minutes for the preservation of sound mus culature?: There is the important matter of posture. Posture is not something you get by kicking your heels in the air or swinging your arms. It originates in the mind; the body will respond. It is the desire to assume an attitude of courage; spirit and zest. The rest is habit. Feel -alive. on yourtoes. Don~t slump or slink. The slumper and the slinker are the failures. among the sisters, because erect carriage gives style and manner to the simplest attire, and they haven~t got it. We offer some ~suggestions for figure mo:ding. When picking up an object from the floor, when tying a_ shoelace, bend at the hips, not at the waistline. Hips are natural hinges. When you bend at the hips, the abdominal muscles tighten; that tightening movement keeps them strong. The bend as the waist thrusts the fibers forward, relaxing them, and forces the flesh up in a roll under the bust. Make a habit of hip bending, if you would retain the slim waist line and the flattened tummy. Treat your backbone with respect, make it operate as nature intended. Posture is dependent upon the vital pose of the spinal column. There is a pleasing inward curve at the back of the waist that must be maintained if the silhouette is to be attractive. Lose that curve and the shoulders fall forward, the chest contracts. Be ever conscious of~ the: fact Fulda ~ap "all helghe Whee ie see silliency of muscles and ease of movement.
