fat tat IB is Invariably ease and luxury loving aud and a long lont walk valk Is to her at first a hardship But sho be In this as ns In all things thinS's else discreet Her TIer first walk should be bo a short one It If f sho eho be one of women who always alas al al- al ways as take a street car or a a. carriage her ier first walk should hould be only eight or oren tea en blocks long I am computing by short hort New Nei York city blocks 9 Twenty of f these those are aro equal to ono one mile I have seen cen a woman unaccustomed to walking walk- walk Int ing ng come Into a room drop Into a chair exhausted and sa say I am tired to 3 death Ive I've walked eight blocks But this woman persisted or rather rathor her er friends persisted They Insisted that after a few hours she he take tako another an an- another other walk To ro their pleasure she achieved this time ten blocks In a walk the evening of the tho same day she covered twelve and came In with a pink glow low In her checks and a new light In her eyes B By the end of ot tho the week sho she could walk alk ono one mile each morning without discomfort Tho The second second sec sec- ond week w cJ she Increased Inert this to ono one and a hilt hlf miles Tho The third week It became two vo and when the tho second month of or her exercise began she walked three miles every morning morning and came camo home homo with heightened color a diminished waist and no complaints After two months her morning walk walk of ot five tho miles regardless of ot weather had become a necessity of ot her health and spirits It was waa amazing how as her girth decreased her beauty In In- In creased The cheeks that had been heavy and flabby grew rew firm and rosy At first though thero there was waa a perceptible percept percept- ible decrease In her bulk there was was title lit ti- tie tle difference In her weight Her Iler waist wals measure decreased ono one and a half hal Inches and her hip measure two Inches yet

Turkish baths for tor flesh llesh reduction That Thill advice advice ad ad- vice I must qualify qually by explaining how I they should bo ho taken for tor there thore are arc thin women who take Turkish baths to fatten them and with success As a reducing agent tho the Turkish bath should bo be taken In a more radical way than for mere cleansing and tonic action neLlon The bather should remain In Inthe inthe the tho room as long as possible that is until she sho is warned by faintness or fluttering of the heart that she has been in the abnormal temperature long enough These warnings she must Instantly heed The Tito length oC or time Is le governed by her temperament and health It may be twenty minutes minutes min min- utes but It should be from half halt to three-quarters three of or an hour After Arter the tite scrub and antI massago o that follow tallow she sha should go instantly to a n couch and be wrapped In many blankets ao so that tho the flow o of perspiration will continue Thus while she Is resting she site should perspire for another half halt hour This makes a 11 drainage at the pores for tor be between bo- bo tween one and two hours and reduces materially tho weight But I do not advise Turkish baths oftener than twice a week at most host Taken oftener I believe them to be weakening A cool or cold plunge ever every morning is prescribed b by some Home beauty experts Personally I am opposes opposed to them They are arc not cle cleansing Tho The delicate person person person per per- son cannot withstand them The They are area a tonic to the robust constitution that does not require them A gentle genUe laxative is a n. great grent aid in to reducing Various salts with the consent consent consent con con- sent o of your physician and und taken In a n manner he advises would bo be helpful in diminishing But Dut I Insist that whatever tH is done llano in this direction must have a physicians physician's approval I 1 will not unqualifiedly recommend It Tho The tendency of ot salts salta Is IB to render a person who takes take y them then anaemic anaemia Should tho the person who wishes wl to reduce bo al already al- al ead ready the
