World. By Pauline Furlong Conrrig’its 1917, by The Press Publicning Co, (The New York Evening World) HE EVENING WORLD'S new Perfect Figure contest has an abso- lutely unique object—not to discover and reward women who already have perfect figures, but to perfectly proportion women whose figures now are radically out of proportion for their height by reason of either excessive overweight or underweight.

It is perhaps needless for me to point out to women who are now many pounds too stout, or too thin, the advantages of possessing a properly propor- tioned figure. But 1 cam and will remind them that the opportunity now is theirs to acquire the good figure ede; every one of them undoubtedly desires by entering this Praisre roaiox® contest and following the illustrated diet and exercise} leweons it will present Any lingering doubt as to the em &8F Of proper diet and exercise in re NIKE Noa eoute wean? lifg the human figure was di ‘AT YOUR HEIGHT. pélled by the results of The errr ae a World's recent Figure Improvement, §> “ Y% 108% “ contest in which the winning stout 350 { iin a woman reduced thirty-nine pounds In se ay) 3 @ight weeks and the winning thin 395 « a Woman increased her welght tweaty 33° “ pounds, cach with a correspondingly 33 4, ee extensive change in ail figure meas-) 35 « gy, 2 Ob urements.
