These exeretsty This can be NE of the things that discour- agen a stout woman in her ef- forts to reduce more than any- thing else is the impossibility of her accomplishing a given exercise with anything like perfection. Especially is this true of exercises for the back. ‘The fat that has accumulated binds the muscles of the shoulder blades and hinders the arms from taking a good swing, It is just this fat that lnys across the shoulder blades that it is most important to remove not only because ft is a sign of maturity but because it takes away the nimbleness of the body and the Inclination to more active life. That is why I have chosen the exercise illustrated to-day. In the illustration you will see that not only does this exercise affect the fat that gives a round-shouldered ef- fect to the back, but it pulls up the sagging muscles of the bust and also wears away the fat under the arms that has such a tendency to bulge and to give an awkward appearance, pre- venting the arms from lying grace- fully at the sides. . Now do you not think that when one little simple exercise can accom- plish all of these results it is well worth your practising it every day? You will be surprised in a very short while how easy it is for you to give the extra jerk as the elbows como backward, which really breaks up the Jayers of fat around the shoulder blades, You know without my telling you that every pound gained makes it more aif cult for you to move nimbly and gracefully even tn your daily life, So I want you to be as sured that If you will only take ad- vantage of to-day’s lesson and learn to work the arms in the position illustrated, gradually working up to a rapid precise movement, that all of this stiffness and burden of weight around the back will disappear. Tho benefits of reduction by exercise in combination with diet are always two- fold, They pay you back richly In your improved appearance and alno improve your health, and this is cer- tainly truo of this exercise, for tt will expand the chest and nimble the pine, which is very, necessary to good health. In our last lesson we considered the subject of breakfast and I would like to-day to say a few words about what you eat for luncheon. You know there is quite @ trick in satisfying the eye. This is something the stout woman should try to cultivate, By this I mean that {f your food is arranged on the plate 80 as to give the impression of being all (hat ts necessary, you feel satisfied when you Courtship and Marriage By Betty Vincent have finished it, ~ Lettuce 1s one of the foode tliat ¥at) can eat, and it makes everything loot more appetizing and serves as a fo. a8 woll ag ‘a garnish, and #0 {t oug!t to have @ prominent place in’ oye} luncheon menu. 2 oekus x You may eat, without worry/it] about your weight, such foods i mixed vegetable salads, a bfothti piece of fish, or a fish salad, or &on¥> ese salad, if you have not faa oe egg tor breakfast; with an olive 2 some stalks of celery as an tizet? a piece of chicken, without the fat / kin, and a dish of hot voge' served with the water auce in whit it was cooked.
