Slouching Shoulders
Girls, it is neither smart nor healthy to go about with slouch- ing shoulders. Slouched shoulders is just a bad habit and there is nothing we can say in favour of them. How much more beautiful is a high, Arm bustline and ' straight spine!
Growing girls, and those in their early twenties, should endeavour to attain good posture as a natural habit. So much of your future good health and hap- piness depends on that good pos- ture! You will want to have ! pretty figure in your thirties, good health in your forties and fifties and grace and charm until you die! So build for all that now by correcting your shoulder-slouch if you are guilty of one.
Do This Every Day
From time to time I give you an effective exercise to improve your bustline and to straighten your shoulders. Add to-day's ex- eréise to those you already have and do practice them every day until your. back and shoulder muscles have been strengthened and forced into their correct posi- tions. Then good posture will be unconscious.
Begin this exercise by holding a rod or bar one yard long, high over your head. Make your eyes look level and that means your head back, poised on the tip of your spine!
As you stand thus, draw your abdomen in and up. You can do it-if not the first time, the sec- und or third time.
Then swing your upper body
