Until this condition is reached, it will be impossible to put on flesh. First, you must get the body and the digestive organs into a condition to absorb the food that is put into them. When this stage is reached, it is but a matter of time and a careful observation of the diet until you will attain the degree of plumpness desired. Be sure, to start with, that you actually wish to gain weight. I know some slender women who are very eager to fill out and get plump — even fat — and I think they are very wrong in this desire, for they are women of medium height with very small bones and are not so thin as they appear to be. If they should add many pounds they would soon look round and "rollypolly." Hold in mind the ideal for a beautiful figure — proportion and symmetry. One cannot actually effect one's height in any way yet discovered by science, except by wearing French heels and high ornaments on the hats, but one can get one's body into proportion to one's height and keep it there by means of the proper diet and exercise. "Exercise," once said a very lean, angular woman to me, "is not meant for thin people. It is good only for stout people who wish to become thin." And she humped her shoulders and bent over her knitting while her needles clicked, her lips drew down at the corners, and her eyes kept count of the stitches. Looking at her, I wished to tell her a few of the simple fundamental facts I had gathered from observation and from reading. She did not realize she was engaged in an exercise requiring a constant expenditure of nervous energy. However, I refrained from speaking at this time, but later induced her to give up knitting and play golf instead. She is now very enthusiastic over the game and is gaining in weight, health and general appearance. There are certain exercises that will help thin people to put on weight, in spite of the general supposition that all exercises tend to reduce. Learn what exercises you need and take them regularly. The right exercises improve the general health. They get the body into a normal condition. The food will now be assimilated. Now, with the health at normal, and not before, the full benefit of the nourishment that is put into the body will be realized. When this condition is reached, it is easy to gain weight. A description of these exercises would make my talk too long, so I shall wait and tell you all about them another time. The greatest agent for promoting fat, regardless of the condition of health of the subject, is sleep. Just as a fat man or woman should sleep only as much as they absolutely need, so thin people should sleep as much as possible. They should indulge in the afternoon nap immediately after luncheon. If they cannot go to sleep at once, they should form the habit of lying down for an hour after luncheon anyhow. If this is kept up regularly, sleep will eventually come, and the afternoon nap will become a habit. While school-girls and business men and women have not time for this indulgence, they can spend their noon-hour quietly, and should form the habit of retiring soon after dinner five nights out of seven. I cant emphasize this too much. Sleep is the only absolute rest there is. My last bit of advice concerns itself with regularity of habit. Have regular hours for meals, for exercise, for work or play and for sleep. The only irregularity I would recommend is in the waking time from sleep. If you' are still sleepy when the usual time for rising comes, then sleep on. This advice, of course, is only for the very thin person who is anxiously trying to gain health and a rounded figure. A person of normal health and weight should have a regular time for rising. Now, if you are actually thin and wish to get plump, follow these directions carefully. If you find no difference after a month, or two months, there must be some organic or constitutional trouble, and a doctor should be consulted. In nine cases out of ten, this will not be necessary ; that is, ;'/ you are faithful and sincere in your own efforts. Remember, the diet, sleep and exercise are your best friends. Cultivate them. We Interview Camille (Continued from page 25) not sound as tho I were tragic, does it? A. W. F. : Dont they ever call you "Alia" ? Nazimova : Alia — ah, that is something reserved for my husband, my mother and my sister, perhaps. And Madame — that is for the theater, for the studio. G. H. (insistent — she never gives up) : Have you ever had any great sorrow? Nazimova (abruptly) : How old do you think I am? A. W. F. (ever politic — feeling this a moment for diplomacy) : Twenty-nine — thirty. Nazimova : I am forty. G. H. (still endeavoring to untangle the mental pictures of Nazimova from the picture of Nazimova as she really is — as, most strangely, "Peter") : Aren't you afraid of old age? Nazimova: Not a bit. I wouldn't be young again if I could. Youth ! (She shudders.) Youth is so great a zvaste. One squanders precious things so. To me the greatest of all pities is the inability to reach youth and give it experience. Most of my friends are young girls. If for one of them I could do that — make them realize. Age is feeling. While I feel young, I shall be young. A. W. F. : Do you believe children restore woman's youth? Do you believe in having children ? Nazimova : Not for creative women. A woman living a creative life is bound, necessarily, to do things sometimes defiant to convention. In order to fulfil herself, she should live freely. Children bring fear, and in that way arrest personal development. (A. W. F. and G. H. feel at a loss. This is not the Nazimova they had prematurely visualized. No incense wreathes in serpentines about her definite, boyish head. She wears no chiffons, no morbidities. She thinks, succinctly, as a man thinks. She speaks without evasions.) A. W. F. : How did you feel about playing "Camille" ? Nazimova ; Always, I said that I would never play "Camille" until I had forgotten how I had seen "Camille" played. I saw Bernhardt as Camille — and Duse. I kept faith with my determination. I had forgotten how they portrayed the Lady with the Camellia when I began my own portrayal. G. H. : Do you think a woman like that would have loved the boy, Armand, in the way she did? Nazimova : It would take a woman like that to love Armand — just as she did. It was Youth she loved. G. H. : What do you plan to do next ? Nazimova : Repertoire. By that, I mean there will sometimes be more than one story in my film. In my next picture there will be two stories, for instance — Oscar Wilde's "Salome" and Ibsen's "The Doll House." A. W. F. : Have you what you wished
