Four Things Add Up To A Beautiful Figure By JOHN POWERS Four things add up to a beautiful girdle. The may mere figure--diet, posture, exercise, wisp but it is sure to delineate the difference between a curve and a bulge. And thats the difference between the beauty and the bumptious. Easy Slimming With current fashions, what a girdle does for the waist is most important. The new models fit above the waistline in a way that smooths the diaphragm and helps to pull your waist out of your hips at all times, whether you are sitting, walking or standing.

You can augment the effect with this waist slimming exercise: Lie on the floor with your knees bent, soles on the floor, and hands ing lightly on your thighs. Sliding your hands toward your knees, lift your head and shoulders as high as you can. Roll them back (don't drop back) to the floor again. Work up to the point at which you can easily do this twenty-five times daily--and then 'be sure that you do! When you see the snug and upping waistlines of the new spring fashions you'll be glad you started this exercise in You'll also want a slimmer thighline to grace those new fashions that have rippling skirts. A fourpanels will help, but this exercise section foundation with firm side.

performed ten times a day will help even more: Assume the same starting position mentioned above. Drop both knees over to smack the floor, first right and then left, letting the inner surfaces of the thighs slap with each fall. As a dividend, this will reduce your derriere, too. Posterior View If you are really worried about your posterior view, choose a girdle with a staunch, down-stretch back. panel.

Also, start counting your calories and pull your buttocks taut in under your body as an exercise whenever you are standing or walking. Don't depend on any one element alone--diet, posture, exercise, or a girdle to proportion your figure. It takes all four to achieve the form divine! If that's for you in '52, get busy!
