“Every Woman Who Is Not Afflicted With an Organic Malady or Deformity Can Create or Banish Fat.” “If a Woman Exercises as I Do She Need Not Diet to the Extent of Going Hun- gry at Any Time.” Third in a series of daily arti- cles based upon interviews with Miss Russell and her own writings. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall, LTHOUGH in the early days A of her long and successful career as actress and beauty Lillian Russell was known the country over as “Airy, Fairy Lillian,” she herself admitted later that her tendency was to get too fat. Since It also fs the tendency of thousands of other American ‘women—and a tendency which they fare striving to combat by every means in their power—they un- oubtedly will be interested in ding Miss Russell's own success- ul solution of the problem of HOW TO REDUCE. “I was too stout. You know that Is my tendency. I had not then learned that the question of avoirdupois is finally a question of will power. I know to-day, and I do not know from books or hearsay, but from persona: experience that every woman alive who is not afflicted with an organic malady or deformity can create or banish fat. “The only way to reduce fat is by exercise and diet. If a woman exer- cises as I do she need not diet to the extent of going hungry at any time, Bhe should select her food with judg- ment, but she need not entirely de- prive herself of any favorite dish. She may indulge in fat-forming foods with discretion. *[ discovered without much experi- menting that exercise was the key to health, and that health ts the essen- tial to good looks. But there are so many systems of physical culture that I very nearly lost my head de- eiding which one:to adopt perma- nently. “There are scores of” alluring s0- ealled treatments which appeal to the woman who hates exertion, and we hate it in a ratio to our increase kk ‘avoirdupois. systems of this sort, but I really have ommon sense, and I knew, much as I wanted to think otherwise, that the rational treatment for reducing fat was by oxygenating the blood, which ean only be healthfully done by physical culture and by cutting short or controlling the food that supplies the carbon or body fuse, which must be destroyed by oxidation “I tried doing physical culture ex- ercises without method, and the re- s were unsatisfying. “I made up my mind to work out my own salvation and I did it. It took time and self-sacrifice. The woman who wants to look and feel her best must devote time to the necessary work. She must be willing to do rou- tine work not for a day or a week but every day and every week, not of one month or year but every month and every year. “Exeroise, bathing, sleeping, eating —I do them all by my self-made rules, TI dailied with a few Courtship and Marriage By Betty Vincent What LILLIAN RUSSELL Has Said About ‘‘How to Reduce” “It is, if you please, precisely 8.30 o'clock in the morning when my maid brings me my coffee and toast. I drink a big cup and eat my toasted bread—the only sort I ever touch. I read the morning papers and my letters till 10 o'clock—I am speaking now of my working season. I get up earlier in the country during my resting time. “At 10 o'clock every morning except matinee days I go to my private gym- nasium, which I had especially fitted up in the basement of my house. I al- low no one to interfere with my gym- nasium work. “My ‘gym’ dress consists of sills bloomers, a golf skirt, sweater, heavy stockings and laced shoes, “I punch the bag for a good solid hour, sometimes longer, for, 1 love it; and let me tell you I am an expert at the punching bag. “Then I take a turn with the medi- cine ball or fencing foils or play with the tether ball—good stiff exercise, in any case. In the country I do a lot of tennis. “At the end of an hour and a half I am in a profuse sweat. I now wrap a blanket around me and get what the trainers call a ‘second sweat’ by sip- ping a pint of hot water. There's nothing in the world like these profuse perspirations for driving all impuri- ties out of thé system and keeping the skin in a beautiful condition. “After the second sweat I undress and my masseuse gives me a hot all- over scrub from head to foot. After the scrub I take a warm spray, gradu- ally cooled until I get the splendid tonic effect of the cold water. Next my masseuse gives me a full massage treatment—twenty minutes for the face and forty for the body. “After the massage I dress and eat my second meal. It 1.30 and I am fairly ravenous. I a good luncheon—chicken, chops or steak, potatoes (of which I am very fond) a salad and a sweet. “I drink nothing whatever with any of my meals except the coffee at breakfast. If you notice, an ani- mal never drinks while eating. A horse will eat leisurely; an hour or so later he walks up to the trough and drinks until his thirst is satis- fied. I am convinced the members of the animal kingdom may teach us a lesson in this respect, and I am not above taking a valuable health hint from my dog or horse. “After luncheon, a walk or a drive. I keep out of doors two or three hours at least. I go shopping or visit my friends, but most of the time I am in the fresh air, At 5.30 I dine— a comfortable, simple dinner, I do not like highly seasoned French cook- ing. Not a drop of wine. No woman can look her best who drinks wine os a regular thing each day.'’ is then about At another time Miss Russell adopt- ed the Turkish method of reducing by rolling, which she described as fol- low: “I spread the big bath towel on the floor as soon as I rise in the morn- ing and roll over and over from right to left.

McCardell Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co. Gladys Cackleberry Proves That a “Poor Fish” Is Not Necessarily Kept Out of “the Swim’—or the Matrimonial “Net.” ISS GLADYS CACKLEBERRY M of Philadelphia was still visit- ing the Jarr family and was still engaged to dashing Jack Silver, the erstwhile chronic bachelor friend of the Jars, But when Miss Irene Cackleberry, the sweet sister of the fair Gladys, received at her happy home in Phila- delphia the news of Gladys's engage- ment to Mr. Jack Silver, she was t overeome with joy. At least that was what her mother hastened to write to Mrs. Jarr. But when the stepfather of both the Cack- leberry grils—the engaged Gladys visiting the Jarrs, and the unengaged Irene in Philadelphia—met Mr. Jarr hig report was that “Irene threw a fit.” And small wonder, for Miss Irene Cackleberry, the elder sister, had in- tended Jack Silver, the most prosper- ous bachelor of her acquaintance, t be her own victim. In a burst of con- fidence she had told Gladys how she intended to ‘bring an engagement about the first time she ever went riding alone at night in an automobile with Jack Silver. "ll have my scarf or fur neck- piece fall behind my back, get him to reach for it,” sald Irene, “Then I'll scream and ask him how dare he to hug me when are not even engaged; get hysterics and press so hard he can't get his hand away. He'll have to stop the automobile, other motors will stop—and if he doesn't say we are en- gaged I'll appeal for protection and have some one else drive me home, sobbing. “phen I'll sue him for breach of promise. There'll be lots of witnesses, Jack Silver has money, and if he doesn't marry me I'll make him pay for it, I'll be that much ahead. He thinks he's so smart and foxy that no girlcan ever make him propose to her. T'll show him, and if I,don't marry him I'll make him pay for it. It's the only way to do with these hard-boiled bachelors—make them marry or make ny tice” Gladys Cackleberry had re- garded her sister with horror as she listened to this policy of ruthlesness, “Qh, Irene, you cat! You could not do such a dreadful, bold thing like that, just like an adventuress or a vampire in the moving pictures! “Yes, I could, and so could you, and so would you, {f you had brains enough to think up such a plan, you poor fish!" the loving elder sister had retorted. “If Jack Silver was @ young cake-eater who did not know any better, I'd have some mercy on him, but he isso hard-boiled he thinks no- body can put anything over on him. vel how him!"

HPRE are already only three standard kinds of salad dress- ing, but a hundred recipes have been evolved from these three. The basic essentials of a salad dressing are acid, fat and seasoning, and @ change in one or two of these elements pro- duces a variation in the salad. The three types of dressing are the French, mayonnaise and boiled dressing. FRENCH DRESSING. This is the most easily made, therefore the most common in use. To make it, use half as much acid as oll and seasoning to taste, For the average family use four tablespoon- fuls of olive oil, two tablespoons vinegar, one-third teaspoon salt and one-fourth teaspoon of pepper. Lemon or grapefruit juice may be substituted for the vinegar, which may be the cider, wine or tarrapon vinegar, Put the Ingredients into a glass jar and thoroughly shake be- fore using it. , MAYONNAISE.
