 The Danger of Figure Neglect

AN ANY WOMAN afford to neglect her figure?

This is what a prominent style authority, recently said:

"I do not know of any woman who has carried naturally small hips and thighs and a flat abdomen past--let's say thirty.

"One of the first signs of age is usually a little thickening of the lower limbs, an inch or two on the hips, an inch or two on the thighs, and a little sagging of the abdominal wall. The woman whose contour below the waist isn't just what it should be (especially in this age of straight lines) has put her birthdays where anyone can count them. She isn't young, despite what the masseuse has done to her face."

Age is a treacherous antagonist, and it is well for those who really care about their appearance to remember that the properly corseted woman may retain her original grace long after the woman, who is careless about her corset, has become ill-proportioned and unattractive.

What about your friends and acquaintances?

Are they quite sure they are not missing something, when they look in the mirror, that others see only too plainly? Or, are they, by means of scientific corsetry, hiding those tell-tale lines? Are they carefully safeguarding those most priceless of all possessions--their health--their lovely, youthful lines?
