The Right Road to Health $ & $. By Annette Kellermann
eg The Bathing Suit Figure, and How to Acquire It by Exercising $ §3 §3
A WOMAN with what I call the
New York figure was trying on
a pair of corsets. The fitter
mentioned in a deprecating way that
madam's hips were getting larger.
"Never mind; just make the corsets
longer and it won't show." returned the
customer, and it was done.
The latest corsets from Paris so 1
see by the advertisements -go right
straight down to the knees and press
every hit of flesh down or squeeze it In.
Sensible women wear these instru
ments of torture and then wonder why
they are not perfect physical specimens.
I have n<> special complaint to make
against a lot s, co--et or a girdle. Mod
ern dresses m essitate thepi and they
frequently prevent skirt bands from
foiling and .-Utting into the flesh, but

am going to tell you ju-t a few of the
harmful efb ■ ts it has on you.
In the first place such a coj-set is
bound to be so tight as to hinder the
circulation of the blood In the most
vita! part of the body, Many women
insist that their corsets are quite loose,
but I notice that the always breathe a
Jong gh of relief when they take them
off.
The fat which accumulates around
the hips and thighs Is seldom healthy
fat. simply because ft doesn’t get a
chance.
No matter how much you walk or ex
ercis« there can he no perfect circula

Then the more you force down the

ADVICE TO THE LOVELORN * By Beatrice Fairfax |
FIND OUT IF IT IS TRUE.
Dear Mias Pa 1 rfax:
1 have been going with a young man
about my. age for a year, and 1 love
him very much and he loves me. But I
have heard that he drinks a little, but
1 have never caught him Intoxicated. I
have also had it told me that we sit up
so late Saturday night that it is Sunday
before he leaves. This is true, but is it
wrong, or should I pay attention to
such gossip ' And should I quit him
because I have heard he drinks'.’
I'NDEi’IDEP.
Such late hours are not commendable,
but they do not constitute a crime. The
important thing is: Does he drink?
Bind out for yourself if he does. If
you find this gossip is founded on fact,
end your acquaintance without a mo
ment's hesitation. No girl .can afford
to think a second time of a man who
drinks. Marriage to such a man means
a w reck of her life

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp: of dandruff —that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of its lustre, strength and its very
■ life; eventually producing a feverish-
I ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes th- hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die —then the hair
fa'ls out fast.

would certainly give him up.
I meet the other one almost every
morning, and he always asks me to wait
for him coming from business. I have
never done -u, 1. rather, like him, too.
He is forty years, the other thirty, and
I am twenty-three. Which should I
give up? UNDECIDED.
Perfect love dispels ail doubt. Your
suspicion of the first man's motives
should take him out of your heart and
mind. Don't TRY to love him if you
doubt him. Rather turn your mind to
the oilier man.
dandruff will disappear, all -Itching will
cease ami there w ill be no more falling

Knowlton's Dariderine and they never
have dandruff, itchy scalp or falling

c& Not Always ”All’s Fair”
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
t AM 22,’’ writes "Heart Broken,”
and in love with a girl of 17. I
see her every day. but I have
never spoken to her. I explained my
love in an anonymous letter and re
ceived an answer of the same charac
ter. Then I received a second anony
mous letter, in which she invited me to
come to her house. I did not go be
cause I am not sure she wrote that let
ter.
"It seems to me she favors me, but I
can not find any way to talk it over
with her. May I talk to her on the
street, not being introduced, or Is it
better to name some place where we
may meet each other?”
That old saying: "All’s fair in love,”
has been responsible for uncounted fol
lies. All is not fair’ It is never fair
in these modern times for a man to de
clare his love in an anonymous letter.
Neither is the girl doing right when
she replies.
The anonymous letter was the inven
tion of a coward. One who would write
one. even w-hen in love, would be tempt
ed to use the same dishonorable subter
fuge on less honorable occasions.
No man should ever write one, and to
write one to the girl he loves insults her
good sense. I wonder at this girl, who
not only heeded, but replied. She must
have taken momentary departure of
every bit of wisdom she ever possessed.
L,ove affairs do not have the right
basis unless that basis is an introduc
tion through a mutual friend. This
may sometimes be difficult to secure,
and seem impossible. But the world
has yet to learn of a lover who pined
aw ay w ith his love untold for lack of an
introduction. It is one of the many
tilings that come speedily and surely' to
him who watts.
"Heart Broken " started wrong The
girl also started wrong when she re
plied. It would make matters worse if
a third blunder were committed by ar
ranging to meet on the streets. If a
man's intentions are honorable, his feet
will take him straight to a girl's door-
HOW I ENLARGED MY BUST SIX

A SIMPLE. EASY METHOD WHICH ANY LADY CAN USE AT HOME

Well do I know the horrors and intense
humiliation of being flat-chested; of hav
ing the face of a woman set on the form
of a man; and 1 can not find words to
tell you how good I felt, and what a ter
rible load was lifted off my mind when I
first saw my bust had really grown six
inches in size. 1 felt like a new being,
for with no bust I realized I was really
neither a man nor a woman, but just a
sort of creature half way between.

girl In that which is told to her on the

No circumstances ever justify sueh a

this inviolable rule was made for her

There is, in many men. the uncon

knows what happens to the sheep that
wanders beyond the fold. Its tragic
fate will not be a circumstance com

I make him this suggestion: Forget

start that both made. Then, when he
loves a second time (and men have
been known to do this though heart
broken), let him make the acquaintance
of the object of his phoenixlike affec

Let him seek an introduction.

I am sure he will not give his affections
to the sort of a girl who would reply to
an anonymous letter.

The discovery of the simple process
