The Bathing Suit Figure, and How to Acquire It hy Exercising §3 §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
f longer and it won’t show,” returned th*
| customer, and it was done.
The latest corsets from Paris -so I
see by the advertisements —go right

’ every hit of flesh down or squeeze ft in.
Sensible women seal thejTe instru
ments of torture and then wonder v hy
they are not perfect physical Specimens.
I have no special complaint to make
against a loose corset or a girdle. Mod
em dresses necessitate them and they
frequently prevent skirt bands from
polling and cutting into the flesh, but
there is absolutely no need of a corset
which reaches down to the knees, and I
ftm going to tell you just a few of the
I harmful effects it has on you.
Tn the first place, such a corset is
bound to be so tight as to hinder the
circulation of the blood ib the most
vital part of the "body. Many women
insist that their.corsets ate quite loose,
but 1 notice that the always breathe n

The fat- which accumulates around
the hips and thighs is seldom healthy

ridge of flesh at the edg of the corset.
This flesh belongs above In its nat
ural position, When you force even a
particle of skin out of its correct place,
you drag with ft an accompaniment of
muscles and tissues and, In away, you
get the entire body out of gear.
All this tissue becomes weak and
sags, because ft is not vitalized by vig
orous coursing of the blood ->nd after a
while you have the woman who doesn't
dare wear a bathing suit without put
ting on the same corset she wore with
her dress.
Unsightly and unshaped limbs and
thighs make ungainly legs. That is one
disappointment of the bathing suit fig
ure.
Begin now to get your natural sym
metrical figure the figure that nature
makes and that the long corset ruins.
Stop pressing your vital organs down

duce them by exercise. You can do it if
you keep at it, but 1 wonder If you
have the perseverance I hope so.
EXERCISE I.
This exercise, if ft is done often
enough, will reduce the size.of the hips
and thighs and will build up the calf
of the leg Where you find very large
hips and thin legs, there is some stop

t>?<3 Not Always n All’s Fair 11
By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.
O T 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 J 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 when 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.
Love 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
away with his love untold for lack of an
introduction. It is one of the many
things that come speedily and surely to
him who waits.
' 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
INCHES IN THIRTY DAYS
After I had Tried Pills, Massages, Wooden Cups, and Various
Advertised Preparations without the slightest results.
A SIMPLE. EASY METHOD WHICH ANY LADY CAN USE AT HOME
AND QUICKLY OBTAIN A LARGE AND BEAUTIFUL BUST,
By MARGARETTE MERLAIN.
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 I can not find words to
tell you how good 1 felt, and what a ter
rible load was lifted off my mind when I
fir-t saw my bust had really grown six
inches in size. I felt like a new being,
for with no bust I realized 1 was really

flat chest- a chest like his Own! Can
such a woman inspire in a man those
feelings and emotions which can only be
inspired by a real and true woman, a
woman with a beautiful, well-rounded
bust? Most certainly not.
The very men who shunned me. and
even the very women who passed me
carelessb hy when I was so horribly flat
chested and had no bust, became my most
ardent admirers shortly after I obtained
such a wonderful enlargement of my bust.
I therefore determined that all women
who were flat-chested should profit by my

step. Use offers nothing good to a
girl in that which is told to her on the
streets and can not be told to her in her
own parlor.
No circumstances ever justify such a
meeting, and the girl should know that
this inviolable rule was made for her
own protection.
There is, in many men. the uncon
trolled appetite of the wolf. The girl
knows what happens to the sheep that
wanders beyond the fold. Its tragic
fate will not be a circumstance com
pared with the tragedy that will over
take her if she disregards the conven
tions.
And by “conventions” I mean the
safeguards that the social structure has
built around young women.
"Heart Broken” isn’t much of a man,
or he wouldn’t go about the joy of win
ning a girl's affections in such an un J
derhanded way.
I make him this suggestion: Forget
this girl. It is best, because of the bad
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
tions in a conventional way.
Let him seek an introduction.
him be above anything anonymous or
hidden or petty. Let him treat her as
he would want his sister to be treated.
And, when he has become a manly man.
I am sure he will not give his affections
to the sort of a girl who would reply to
an anonymous letter.
All is NOT fair in love and war That
which smacks of the dishonorable is
never fair, and an anonymous lifter
never smacked of anything else.
No Loss.
