Please enclose a stamped addressed envelope for a postal reply. I can give you more space in a letter than can be spared in this page. AST week we talked about diet for the too slim. This week we will consider exercise as a cure for the same trouble. These exercises aim at a better all-round development, while there are many others — far too numerous to mention here — that aim at the development of special parts of the body. To improve the appearance of the upper arms and fill out those ugly hollows known as salt cellars, practise the following : Stand easily with arms outstretched at the height r.f the shoulders, palms facing downwards. Completely turn the arms from shoulders to fingers, so that elbows and palms are uppermost. Repeat ten times. With both arms outstretched, swing them in as wide circles as vou can, both outward and inward. Next, with arms bent at the elbows, and held as a runner holds them, rotate the shoulders. Push them backwards and forwards, trying to make the shoulder blades touch. Here is a ball exercise for improving the arms. Stand with a ball held in the right hand, the arm extended level with the shoulder. Simultaneously bend the elbow and bounce the ball on the upper arm, catching it again with the hand. Repeat several times with each arm. Chest Development The actual size of the bust is a matter over which we have very little control. But the girl who is too slight for real beauty can aim at a better general development of the chest. The improved carriage and posture thus gained goes a very long way to make up for the deficiencies. A walking stick or a cane should be used. It must be about 4 feet long. Hold it behind the shoulder blades. Push the cane to the right by straightening the right arm and to the left by straightening the left arm. Then raise with both hands above the head and return to the original position. Repeat this exercise with a regular rhythm several times. Those of you whose school days are not far behind will recognise this as one of the elementary exercises. It is very good, nevertheless. Here is another excellent exercise for chest development : Lie flat on the back. Lift the left leg till at right angles with the botly, and at the same time throw up the right arm till it touches the floor above the head. Repeat with alternate arms and legs fifteen times. Sit on the floor with feet straight out and knees unbent. Raise the arms level with the shoulders. Twisting the body to the right, try to touch the right ankle with the left hand, stretching the other arm backwards as far as it will go. Repeat with the other hand and ankle Improving Leg Contours There is nothing like vigorous kicking for improving the shape of the legs. It is best performed while holding the back of a chair with one hand, while the other hand is placed lightly on the hip. The kick should be backwards. Next, lie on your back on the floor. Make large circles with each leg alternately. Stand with feet together, hands on the hips. Raise the body on the balls of the feet. Sink to original position. Repeat ten times. Massage with olive oil will also help develop the legs. The oil should be warmed by standing the bottle in a basin of hot water. Place a little oil in the palm of the hand, and beginning with the knees, massage the legs downwards to the ankles. Continue the rubbing with quick rotary movements for about five minutes. General Massage Olive oil may be used as a general feeding massage. If you dislike the odour — and, personally, I do — substitute a feeding cream. I have given the recipe for this on many occasions on this page. First of all soak yourself in a warm, soapy bath. If your water supply is hard, use some bath salts to soften it and make the bath thoroughly pleasant. Having opened all the pores, dry on a soft towel and then rub in the warmed oil or the cream. Rub in all over the body till all has been absorbed. Massage the neck with tissue oil or cream, rubbing it in with a kneading movement. Leave your face till later on, and for goodness" sake don't use olive oil, lest it help to grow hair. Tend your hands just as carefully, and massage them, too, paying special attention to the fingers. Hands that are too thin invariably look old and withered before their time. Answers to Correspondents Lizette (Wimbledon). — Vou may eal lean meat without fear. It is the fat of butcher's meat that should be avoided. But while you are slimming, do not take pork or bacon. Take your fish steamed, boiled and grilled, but never fried. Take clear soup, and no.t thick, and reduce butter to a minimum. Eat plenty of apples, celery, spinach, watercress, cauliflower, cucumber, tomatoes. With the aid of the cameraman Maureen O'Sullivan shows one complete movement in her daily routine to keep fit and keep her figure. M. B. (Walthamstow). — Barky water is an excellent spring beverage for clearing the skin. Vou can make it from patent bailey, or more easily still from barley kernels. Also, take a cupful of the water in which greens have been cooked. This purifies the blood. A. L. M. (Hove). — Brittle nails are generally associated with a tendency to rheumatism and its allied complaints. Anoint the nails with olive oil nightly and take a course of mineral water. Any chemist will recommend you to a suitable one. May (Christ Church). — Vou can < > I > t 11 1 the Buty-Tone gramophone record from Robei, Ltd., 109 Jermyn Street, I^uidon, S.W.i, by sending 3d. — the cost of return postage. This record explains an entirely new method of home beauty treatment, and should meet with your requirements. M. J. N. A. (Liverpool). — Sorry your query is too long to answer in detail here. In the February 10 issue of this paper, page so, Jean Harlow gives an excellent exercise for the cure of your trouble. M. S. (Liverpool).— Vou can buy suede reviver at any shoe shop. Worried Girl (Liverpool). Wear a chin strap during sleep. They can be bought from all large chemists. Billie (Liverpool). — As you have given up the bad habit, Nature will soon straighten the lip. Jane (London). — Massaue vour ankles with a reducing cream. Always walk upstairs on tip toe. A court shoe is probably the most slimming. Have moderate heels. Kxtra high heels tend to aggravate the trouble. Nom de Plume. — Peroxide of hydrogen may be purchased from all chemists. Price approximately a shilling. It bleaches the hair, and tends to weaken the growth, but it will not destroy it. Only electrolysis will do that.
