I spent years in study and research, analyzing my own defects to find what I needed. After many tests and experiments, I discovered the secret of progressive exercising. I increased my own arm over 6'A inches, my neck 3 inches and other parts of my body in proportion. I decided to become a public benefactor and impart this knowledge to others.

LIEDERMAN Dept. 112, 305 Broadway, New York City Dear Sir: I enclose herewith 10c for which you are to send me without obligation on my part whatever, a copy of your latest book, "Muscular Development." (Please write or print plainly.) Name Address City State FRIENDLY ADVICE From Carolyn ^Van Wyck "Babe," Newark, N. J. Of course fifteen is far too young for marriage. But since you did marry, against the wishes of your family, and since you have a lovely little baby, I think that you should not lightly think of divorcing your husband. Especially since he is not at fault. You, yourself, admit that he loves you devotedly and that he has done everything to make you happy. You should not have entered marriage so lightly that your love could soon pass away. If your husband has given you no cause for a divorce I think that you should try to love him and — if that is impossible — at least try to be a good wife to him. Frankly, I feel — from the tone of your letter — that some outsider has been interfering and putting divorce ideas into your head. Anita O., Baltimore, Md. Don't henna your lovely brown hair. Hennaed hair seldom looks natural, and often makes the face assume a hard expression. A henna rinse will give your hair a pretty glint, however, and is not harmful. Because you have brown hair and eyes and an olive complexion you should use brunette rouge, and powder in the shade rachel. Any of the creams advertised in Photoplay Magazine are reliable. E. R. M., Dewey, Okla. Yes, you should weigh more than you do. The correct weight for five feet, nine inches is about one hundred and fifty pounds. Your weight — one hundred and sixteen pounds — is quite inadequate. If you can drink milk I should advise three quarts a day. And some cream, too. See my answer to Evelyn S., West Virginia. Essy, Pittsburgh, Pa. I like the clear way in which you write out your questions, and number them. I will answer them in order: If a girl has reached a proper age there is nothing wrong in the fact that she leaves her parents' home to live in another city — especially since it will further her career. Of course doing so may make the parents unhappy— but that is a matter that must be settled in the family circle. I am looking, as you asked me to, at the matter from an outsider's point of view. And I can see no reason for any adverse criticism, even though the girl lives alone, so long as she is true to the best ideals of womanhood. Walter Camp's Daily Dozen is splendid exercise for an office worker. And swimming, in a good pool for girls, is also beneficial. It is not wrong for a girl to go alone to the opera, especially if she loves music and really wants to absorb some of the beauty of it. But why not go with another girl — if no masculine escort is available? A. S., New York City. Bathe your eyes with boracic acid three times a day. And massage the swollen places gently, every night, with white vaseline. Perhaps it would be good to also get the opinion of another oculist. Even specialists sometimes make mistakes. L. S., Connecticut. I do not know of any exercises that will do much toward straightening bow legs. There are certain operations that can be performed, but they should only be attempted by a specialist. I'm sorry that I can give you so little help on this subject. Wanda H. O., Darlington, Ind. As you are dark — for your black bobbed hair and your olive complexion counteract the green eyes — I think that your evening frock should be of some warm color: Flame, or tangerine, or rose with a bit of silver trimming; although you would be charming in jade, or in old gold! Low heels are still going to be smart — for sports wear and on the street. And baby Louis heels will still be worn for evening. But the high French heel and the Spanish heel are coming back. When a man tells you he's "glad to have met you" it will be quite proper for you to say: "It was so nice to meet you, too." Or, "Then I hope that we will meet again." Any slight, charming remark will do. Ruth W., Morris, Okla. Massage will develop your neck and shoulders. Especially electric massage. And the use of a good tissue building cream will also help.
