MME CAVALIERI tails to her Urge audience of readers to-day
on a theme of importance to all women, and it may be truthfully
added, to all men. We often hear the complaint "I am losing
my figure." The ilendemess of youth is lost in the enveloping blanket
of flesh that years bring to tome, or the roundness of youthful contours
disappears before the guanines of age. How to avoid both these evils
is included in to-day's valuable advice on "How to Improve Your Figure."

T Is well to scan your figure occa
sionally In the mirror to
satisfactorily do this you need a
full length mirror and decide what
are Its flaws and how to rid yourself
of them.
Perhaps you have a disfiguring
stoop. Rid yourself of this, It neces
sary, by wearing shoulder braces.
You can buy strong, reliable ones at
most drug stores, and you can make
them for yourself with two strong
stitched bands of muslin to which
"cross pieces are attached. Fasten
these to your corsets by safety pins.
Perhaps that apparent stoop is due
not to actual bending of the shoul
ders but to a roll of superfluous fat
that accumulates Jtut below the
neck on women who bar attained
thirty years, ot even before. Re
move this unsightly blemish by sev
eral methods. First, throw away
your pillow and lie with head and
feet on a level. Form the habit of
standing very erect Stretch your
arms sideways and on a level with
your shoulders and twirl thm rap- ,
Idly backward.
There are always several prepara
tions which can be used to advant
age If applied outwardly. Bathe
the shoulders every night with this,
rubbing It thoroughly Into the
shoulders:

If your limbs are too heavy, as is
liable to be the case In America,
where women's figures are not as
well proportioned as in many other
countries, the lower part of the body
being disposed to stoutness, walk
much. This will reduce the bulk of
the fat and make the muscles solid.
Occasionally I receive letters Siting
me to tell a girl how to make the
limbs larger and more shapely.
Massage with olive oil should en
large them. To inquiries as to how
to make the thin anklet plumper 1
nake the same reply.
No figure is attractive If the
hips ar out of proportion to
the rest of the body. They
should be neither too large nor too
small, but In perfect sccord with
the rest of the figure. If the rest
of the figure Is thin and the hips
plump the effect Is ludicrous. It
the body Is smple and the hips flat
the hips are incongruous.' Fashion
may dictate broad hips one season
and narrow hips the next, but their
ideal else remains the same. They
must look as though they belong
to that body and no other.
They should be amphora shaped,
as any sculptor will tell you. An
amphora, you know, is a large
Roman vase with lines exquisitely
curved downward. . Study the pic
tures of statues of the ancient
Greeks and you will comprehend
the beauty of the hip line tn the
natural figure. They are neither
over heavy nor too thin.
. The bones ahould be well cov
ered, 'but there stould be so fat
creases and no loose hanging skin.
It there is too little flesh applica
tion of olive oil will, Increase It
But the fault In the American
woman's figure Is that she is un
duly developed about the hips.
For this figure blemish It would be
absurd to bant, for her whole body
would diminish under It and the
hips remain proportionately as
large as before, Massage and ex
ercise are the hope of the woman
of overdeveloped hips. Rub briskly
and firmly, with a strong slapping
motion, this mixture, prepared es
pecially for each application.
