SITTING DOWN GRACEFULLY

(BY DONALD LOOMIS) Jean Chatburn illustrates how to sit in a chair properly. When you sit in a chair have the lower back pressed firmly against the back of the chair, the feet uncrossed but in re- laxed position. The hands may lie in the lap. Jean's arms are crossed in the pic- ture so as to show you that she is sitting back in the chair.

A good many girls look at them- selves in their mirrors when they are standing up ready to go out, and feel that they approve of their stand- ing posture. They also frequently watch themselves in shop windows as they pass and feel that they walk well.

A bad chin or throat line may be the result of sitting with your head thrust forward. Go to your mirror now and see if your head is leading your body. You may have acquired this habit because you didn't see well

as a child. If your eyes need to be fitted with glasses, have this attended to at once; but by all means overcome this unattractive habit.

Hold your head up and your chin

The double-chin menace may come to you when you are quite young if you do not pay careful attention to posure. A clean-cut chin line is a mark of beauty and you can't afford not to have one. And fortunately you can acquire one with much less. effort than it takes to get rid of a large abdomen.

Because multiple chins эге the result of bad posture you must learn to hold your head high so that your chin is horizontal, your neck straight, your chest elevated and your shoul- ders well buck.

If you are easily frightened do not watch yourself in the mirror when: you do exercises for riding yourself of the extra chins.

We have what we sometimes call the English bulldog exercise for the under chim: Thrust out your lower- jaw like this breed of dog, as far as it will go. Then bring it back and repeat. Feel the pull of the muscle- under the chin.
