Ordinarily the woman who is too fat
enjoys good food, but some people who
iiu- II l>\ eat Very little; w ben they do
lilt. However, they always choose just
tlK.se foods which make flesh. Then
they like liquids, soda water, plenty of
watei uith meals, ice cream, and half
watery foods. The amount ol’ fluid
oni-hikes has much to do with increas
ing th'- w< Ight. and I suppose one
thing c\cry woman knows by nun is
that alcohol in any form promotes a
false apj.tite and aids in storing up
fat in the tissue-, of the body.

that tend to make one grow fat. First
of all, then- is a dumpy way of sit
ting as when one falls to pie'ces o.ver
the top of her stays and slumps in at
the waist just as much as her steel
armor will tillbw. Now, if you want
to keqp your figure, you cannot afford
to slump/at all, but should cultivate
a good s’raight backbone and hold your
shoulders back naturally, not stiffly,
but so that you are never sitting in a
round-shouldered position.
I have seen so many girls of eighteen
or nineteen whose shoulders were
round, whose backs Already looked
old just because they do not sit up
straight When sitting at a desk or
sewing table, when you are reading or
wiiting, place your ehair sufficiently
far from the table to allow you to sit
well back in the chair, and then bend
torn .rd from the hips. This’position
i-- ri . fly- more restful than the hollow
chest ami round-shouldered one, and
it is just a matter of habit to get ac
customed to it.
There are all kinds of braces-sold
now which hold the shoulders back
and ke p one from getting a broad and
round-shoulder, d back. They are good
tor the fat woman, because they remind
her to hold herself correctly, which
will make her look taller and less
dumpy. Tlte same kind of a brace is
made by the English army officers of
three handkerchiefs. Knot the ends of
two of Hie handkerchiefs together, slip
these over the arms and around the
shoulders. Now pass the third hand
kerchief across the hack rind under the
two arm-circles, and have some one

knot this together,' drawing the shoul
ders back by pulling the handkerchiefs
which bind them.
Another bad habit which the stout
woman easily falls into is that of go
ing around with her head bent down so
•that she soon has two or even three
chins. Chin straps for reducing the
eh.n are sold everywhere nowadays, or
one can make them of a piece of linen
cut about three inches wide, with tapes
at the end. The linen should pass un
der the chin and tie over the head, and
press the flabby part of the chin in, as
• well as holding the mouth shut while

The Way to Sleep.
! Young people often lose the pretty
r contour of the face because they sleep
1 with their mouths open, while the wom
an who is inclined to be fat if she
will form the habit of sleeping with
• her head up, instead of bent very far
1 down, or with such a chin strap to hold
the mouth shut and the chin up will
i not acquire the dreaded double or triple
' chin.
1 Another bad habit is for the fat
’ woman to consider herself fat: the
r minute she fays “I am too fat to run
r upstairs, too fat to walk much," that
’ is Just the time to begin work to de
t crease one’s flesh; to walk and run up
1 and down stalls as much as possible,
1 for indolence invariably accompanies
■’ the fat woman, and that is the most
1 difficult thing to overcome.

would help reduce the weight, and face
1 massage will do much toward dispers
t ing the fatty tissue that disfigures the
1 youthful face.
i But, alas! the fat woman does not
1 care about strenuous exercise, and
i much prefers applying medicated soaps
5 or trying to melt down fat at the
s Turkish bath, or by spasmodic hard
f work encased in rubber garments un

? to keep it up long enough to feel the
good results.
An excellent movement for reducing
the waist and abdomen is the follow
ing:
Valuable Exercises.
t Die flat on the back, preferably on
I the hard floor; extend the legs stiffly.
, then raise first one leg, then the
other, stiffening all the muscles and
getting some action in the muscles of
the waist, which with the fat woman
are usually unite weak and flaccid.
After repeating this exercise several
times, bring both legs together to a
position as nearly as possible at right
angles with the body.
The woman who will roll <m a hard
floor a hundred times night and mom-
• ing will soon find her flesh melting
! away, but it isn’t a comfortable way
! pf doing it.
I Skipping the rope; usually considered
quite a childish game, will also reduce
flesh, but if there is anything the mat
ter with the heart, it is not. advisable
to try it.
Riding, tennis playing, bicycling and
■ especially swimming all will reduce
weight.
The woman who wants to get thin
must never take nap. - ? in the daytime,
and she should not sleep more than
seven hours at night. This applies, of
course, only to the fat woman of robust
constitution.
Dr. Arnold Lorrand advises abstain
ing from meat entirely, in order to re

iof it. w hile for the rest of the diet.

Starchy; sugary and fat-forming foods
which she shouldn’t eat, and which she

and Sister Mayme Was to a
swell party the other night,”
said the Manicure Lady. “It was gave
by a artist that has just opened a new
sttidio. the same as the studio that I
was telling you about a ft'w weeks
ago. We had a grand time.”
“I think you are wrong in going to
studio parties,” said the Head Barber.
' I have told you that before, and you
know when 1 tell you anything. I mean
it.”
’ I can take care ot myself without
any bone-headed barber telling me
where to get off,” said Manicure
Lady, frigidly. “This artist was a per
fect gent. The pnly thing I didn’t like
about the party was one of his lady

Wilfred when she started making eyes
at him, because she had heard the poor
kid telling that he was a poet, and I
guess she thought that poets makes a
lot of dough. Goodness knows they

thought so I suppose that ain’t neither
here or there, but to get on with my
story.
“The mintue Wilfred noticed that
this blond beputy' was shining up to
him he swelled up like one of them
poisoned puppies that you read about
in the story books. 1 guess in the
next hour after he made the flash he
must have recited about seventy of his
worst young poems. Don't you see,
George? He was trying to make a hit
with .her and con her into giving him
a little dough, but he was waiting for
a good chance to approach her, and all
the time she was playing the same sys
tem. I had more than one good laugh
before the two of them found out that
there wasn’t a quarter between them,
and probably wouldn't be for some time
to come. Wilfred was telling me on
the way home that in the old days
poets used to have patrons and patron
esses. He said that any time a poet
was on his uppers he would go and
dig up some rich old guy or guyess and
tell him the facts in the case are
these;’ 1 think it was a pretty good
system at that, George. Barbers and

How One Washerwoman Was Converted
to the Fels-Naptha Way.
Ant>i Dimclge— ‘Why, bless my soul! Mrs. Old School,
the washerwoman has seen the light at last and has
adopted the Fels-Naptha way of washing.”
Grocer's Boy—“ She was forced to it, Anty Drudge.
Mrs. Millionaire, her best customer, told her that if
she didn’t use Fels-Naptha she’d take her washing
away. Was tired, she said, of having her clothes
come back all yellow and some with streaks of dirt
still in them.”
A generation or so ago, if a woman
had an errand she walked—she had to,
there was no other way.
Later she could do it in half the time
by riding. Now she can do it almost
instantly, by telephone.

I’cls-Naptha is science applied to the

scientific washday—isn’t a washday at all in
the old sense; merely an incident in the
routine of household duties.
