Many women and girls spoll their i Mgure simply because they haven't learned how to sit correctly. The budy should be no placed that you ore well back on the chair or scat. In this way the support can be felt several inches below the small of the back.

But where- as the latter cramps the chest and weakens the Jungs, the former strengthens the muscles and liga- ments and the body is held erect, no matter if one be at work or at play.
