DOING AWAY WITH THE HIPS

Exercise Is Essential and It May Be Obtained Outdoors or In One’s Room Morning or Night. Exercise is essential if you would reduce the hips. In case it is impossible to walk or exercise outdoors during the day, you can obtain the same results by exercising In your room morning and night, says an expert on this subject. Even a few minutes will produce results in time if this exercise is taken regularly. It sounds very simple, but you may find it hard at first. Walk rapidly around the room on your tiptoes, raising each knee as high as you can without losing your balance. Continue for at least five minutes, and then take a cold sponge and a brisk rub. At night, after you have taken the exercise; dip a Turkish towel in very hot water and drop it about your hips, placfng a dry towel outside and keeping it in place until cool. Repeat this at least six times; the effect will be much the same as if you had steamed your face, and you should apply alcohol to close the pores.
