NOW is the time for all wise girls to begin to get in trim for the bathing suit season ! In winter, especially if you live in a cold climate, you are inclined to be less active, partly because there's not much you can do outdoors except scurry around with your shoulders hunched against the icy blast, with an occasional chance to iceskate, skii, or toboggan. The thing I notice about winter sports is that people who engage in them work up an excellent circulation but pay very little attention to posture.
When the thermometer is down below freezing point, you naturally require more and heavier food to combat the chill, and there's no argument that this sort of food will put on pounds.
So take a critical look at yourself in your mirror. Get on the scales and see whether or not you are above the mark you've set for yourself as ideal. Take out the measuring tape and go over your measurements. Have you a little
roll of fat around the waist ? Or are your hips too large ?
A group of famous artists compiled a list of ideal measurements for the ideal girl not so long ago. They are supposed to be for a girl 5 feet 6 inches tall, built on what the screen would consider too generous lines, so when you consider them in relation to your own, remember that. a Hollywood figure would be somewhat less. However, here they are :
Perfect ankle 8 inches
Perfect knee 14
Perfect thigh 20
Perfect waist 26
Perfect calf 13
Perfect hips 34
Perfect bust 34
Perfect upper arm 10
Perfect wrist 6
