| Show t Diet and Health J r II By Lulu Hunt p Peters MB tI d almis I p- p II V TO WRINKLE OR NOT TO WRINKLE Recently when I was out walking an overweight ungainly woman waddled toward me with her hand outstretched ched She greeted me affectionately affectionately affectionately af af- af- af by name I responded with evident embarrassment for 1 I could not place her No wonder it had been years since I had seen her last and she certainly had hadi i changed her physical appearance I completely Good Heavens Ella I after arter our first greetings were over over why have you allowed yourself yourself your our self to become so fat and why dont don't you reduce Oh Im I'm afraid to reduce Hate to look wrinkled Nonsense girl there Is no nee need of ot your wrinkling and even though you rou ou should wrinkle some wouldn't the regaining of your girlish figure and grace compensate for a few wrinkles I notice that your arches have fallen tallen so that it is evidently painful for you to walk Oh yes that's another thing I cant can't walk very much now and I would have to get most of my re reduction reduction reduction re- re through dieting and Ml- Ml gosh love hove to eat eat Before I left Ella I certainly got after her I felt elt privileged for tor she was a Yf very y dear friend You will willbe willbe be glad to know that she did re reduce re- re duce duc duce and rand and she did not wrinkle I know there are many of ot you like my friend who are afraid to reduce because of looking a a. little older in t the e face Like Like her you are allowing yourselves to become deformed de- de formed and crippled and are headIng heading heading head- head Ing tow toward rd serious disorders Even though you were to wrinkle the advantages gained by reducing will so far offset the Wrinkles that the thought of them should not be a stumbling block Must 1 you wrinkle while Must you look older I No and yes Probably 50 Per ner cent of those who reduce do look drawn and unhappy unhappy- I during the process The othe other 50 per cent steadily improve in looks I If you are at the age when you would normally have wrinkles and they are not showing simply be because because be- be cause your skin is puffed out with fat tat they tey will undoubtedly be De more marked while you are reducing But if It you are under the age of wrinkling wrinkling ling that Is the age where the skin Is still elastic there is no reason reason reason rea rea- son at all why you should be wrin wrin- kled I can give you this hope even if you are over 40 40 No matter how badly you look while you are r re reducing reducing re- re after you have reduced reduced- and gotten back to your maintenance e diet your face will be the first to plump out a little and show an im- im So do not allow the thought of wrinkling and looking older oWer to stan stand in your wa way And dont don't allow the adverse comments of ot your friends to affect you There are some precautions that you should take take- and they are Dont Don't reduce too rapidly rapidly not not over one and one-half one to two pounds a week after the first weeks week's loss when when when- llen ij lf yo u w wenton pt on the

you youcan youcan youcan can c'an can take them at a beauty parlor if 11 not you can yourself give your face a tonic treatment three times I each day of so some e smart slapping over cold cream with light patting around the eyes The smart slapping slapping slapping slap slap- ping and patting are now used at most of ot the beauty parlors Instead of ot the stroking movements Then follows the

ar- ar title If your skin has lost all its elasticity elasticity elasticity elas elas- and If your face has been very much puffed out with fat a skillful plastic surgeon not a beauty beauty beauty beau beau- ty specialist easily can remedy the loose folds I believe however that if you will reduce retuce very gradually and keep your skin toned up you Wont Won't have to resort to this We must remember rem that we cannot cannot cannot can can- not always be as smooth skinned as when we were young red reducing or not reducing As I have told you before I dont don't believe that nature intends
