Copyright, 1917, by The Pros Publishing Co, (The New York Eveuing World.) WANT to say a special word today about the course of lessons by means of which contestants will be enabled to either develop or re- duce their figures nearer to the proportions designated as perfect for their height. It ig a proved fact that certain exercises and cer tain diet rules operate either to incr weight or to decrease it, and also to correspondingly reduce or de- velop the figure. But general reduction or development or loss or increase of weight does not operate to give the figure so-called “perfect” measurements at all portions of the body. To accomplish this, carefully studied exercises I 2 must be employed to correct faulty measurements at Pauiine ruaome Whatever point they may exist. All this 1 have taken {nto careful consideration In preparing the lessons for the Perfect Figure Contest. There wil be two series of tllus¢ trated lessons published in The Eve- fing World on alternating days. One If you have any suoh prefer- atate it in your letter of applica- series will comprise diet rules and epecial exercise lessons for contest- Answers to Queries. ants who now weigh less than they should at their hetght. The other @eries will direct the women whose weight now is in excess of what it should be. First, diet and exercises de- signed to reduce or dev erally will be presented. in pre lessons which will fine the figure to or toward those Proportions which are called foot.” Each portion of the human figure fm these later lessons will be treated e@eparately, the exercises being direc- ted toward reduction or development @t certain points, By this means every contestant will be enabled to @orrect her own specific figure faults ‘and to control the tmprovement to- ward perfection of her individual measurements. HOW THE CONTEST WINNERS WILL BE JUDGED. @f course, it is understood that no @me standard of “perfect” measure- @ents can be made to apply to all @omen.

In all that time the current of life had heen frozen in him, not dried up and extin- guished.

After sitting a long while sullenty smoking in silence, he mattress and some covers, lay down 1 admired and envied this display of confidence in me, and heartily wished myself aa eafe in his hands as he was in mine. The afternoon passed, I was on ; deck a half dozen times, but never witnessed the least alteration in the ice. I sat before the furnace, ex- tremely dejected, while the French- man snored on his mattress, I could no longer flatter mynelf that the ox Blcsloba had made the impression [ ad expected on the ice. The sole ri of hope that gleamed upon me bro! out of the belief that this island going north, and that when we had come to the height of the summer in these seas the wasting of the coast or the dislocation of the sorthern mass would release us. When I was getting supper Tassard awoke, quitted his mattress, and came to his bench. “Has snythiog happened while I ) elep sal thing,” I anewered. “The ice no signs of giving?” “I see noni id I, “Well,” cried he, “have you any more fine schemes “'Tia your turn now," I replied. “Try YOUR hand.

I am not atratd of you. On the contrary, I look upon you as @ swaggering bully and a hoary villain, And I take God to witness that if you do not use me with civility I will kill yout" My temper had given way. I ap- proached him by another stride, He started up, as I thought, to selze me, but in reality to recoll, and this he did #0 effectually as to tumble over his bench, and down ho fell, striking his bald head so hard that be lay for several minutes motionless. I stood over him till Ne chose to ait erect, which he presently did, rubbing bis poll. “This 1s scurvy usage to give mate tn distress,” said he, life, man! I had thought there was fome sense of humor in you. Your band, Mr. Rodney~I feel dazed." I helped him to rise, and he then sat down In a somewhat rickety man- ner, rubbing his eyes: “I lost my head—this gunpowder ustnoss hath bocn a hellish dleap- pointment--look you, Mr, Rodney. Come! We will drink’a can to our tu- ture amity!" he said, Being wishful to show that I bore uo malice, 1 talked of pirates and thelr usages, and asked bim if the fetched bis I . to the present hour, Boca del Dragon fought under the red or black fi “Why, the black flag, certainly,” said he; “but if we met with resist- ance it Was our custom to haul it down and holst the red flag, to let our opponents know we should give no quarter.” “How is the plunder partitioned?’ asked, Everything is put into the common chest, as we call it, and brought to the mast nnd sold by auction— Strange!" he cried, breaking off and putting his hand to Bis brow; “I find my speech difficult, Do you ‘notice 1 halt, and utter thickly?"

He had drunk 60 much wine and spiri throughout the day that a would have been of no use to him. I sald, “'T expect it will be the blow on the back of your head, when you fell just now, that has produced this feeling of giddiness. Lat me help you to Ne down. The sensation will pass, I don’t doubt.” It he heard he did not heed me, but fell a muttering to him And now I did certainly rema quality in his voles that w: yw to my ear. It was not, as he had said, a labor or thickness of utterance, but a dryness and parchedness of old age, with many breaks from high to low notes, “Gracious Mother of all angels!" he exclaimed, crossing himself several times, “surely I am dying. O Lord, how frightful to die! holy Virgin, be merciful to me! I shall go to hell. © Jesu, I am past forgiveness! For ei the love of Heaven, Mr. Rodney, some © brandy!
