The Evening World’s \Perfect Figure Contest ' Conducted by Pauline Furlong To Make Pertectiy Proportioned tor Their Height Women Now Fifteen or More Pounds Over or Under Their Proper Weight. Copyright, 1017, by The Pree Publishiag Co, (The New York Evening World) Body Turning and Twisting Exercise. Reducing—Lesson XXXIV. BODY turning and twisting exercise, which strengthens the muscles A at the sides of the waist and those of the back and abdomen, 1s shown with this lesson. This {s @ trifle different from the other body twisting exercises which have been shown, in 80 far as the arms and legs are also brought into play with this movement, which naturally causes it to affect practically all parts of the body. Practice this ex- ercise as follows: * With the legs about two fect apart, swing the body and right arm around with a sharp, strenuous turn until the right arm is about twelve inches or more behind the right hip. Throw the left arm up’ as shown as the body turns. The wotght of the body Pawn roaion® is now on the right leg, and from this position throw the body around to the left side, turning on the foot until the left arm is back of the left hip and the right arm extended upward. Twist to each side at least five times and more if you are a sufferer from constipation, indigestion and torpid liver. | From the many kind testimonials I am receiving from readers and women who have entered the contest I am encouraged beyond my fondest hope and am looking forward to even better results than the letters have expressed, during the final measurement week. I feel confident that most readers who have followed the course this far can master all of the advanced exercises with ease, but it is not neces- sary to do these after desired results have been attained. Just a f minutes each day devoted to any of the movements and careful attention to djet will keep the body and health normal and readers must make these important things a habit and not look on them as a disagreeable and tire- some necessary task; to believe that good health {s essential to successful and happy existence and consider it your greatest asset, because without ft nothing else in life {s really worth while, | SUMMER BATHS—MRS, W.
