If you have been getting careless about your figure, or neglectful of your shoulder lines, listen to the advice of Miss Marie f'urtls, the cute little jockey in "Kerry Gow." at the Marquam for the past week. "Brace up! Get to work on your shoulder line, straighten out the kinks in your spine!" urges the little actress. "If you don't, your new Spring suit will make you look like an "elongated pretzei and you will be calling down maledictions upon the head of your innocent dressmaker when you ought to be calling them down upon your own; if your spine 'loops the loop' through your backbone, and your chest sags in under two hunched-up shoul ders, then you'll have 'only your own self to blame'!" "It's ten to one," continued the lithe little "Kerry Gow" jockey, "you are doing a little every day and putting in regular hours at spoiling your figure. For instance, aren't you guilty of this?" and she illustrated by dropping down in a chair, with a booklet spread over her knees, in the familiar at home - and - nobody - looking position shown in picture No. 1. "four hours at a "time," said Ml3s Curtis, "girls will sit like this, por ing over a novel or the absorbing gossip in the columns of a society weekly. They apparently never give a thought to the havoc being wrought in the lines of the whole figure, to say nothing of cultivating unpictur esque habits. Why, if you'll peep under the tables at any fashionable cafe you can see the effect of this sort of position, knees crossed and feet turned over on the side, in most un graceful and most unwomanly fashion. Above the table, too, you . will see figures tilted forward, shoulders drooped, and all the starch, apparently, gone out of the backbone!" "There are several variations of this bad reading position," continued Miss Curtis. "Have you ever seen ; young girls sitting like this?" and she perched her heels upon the -rungs at the side of her chair and leaned for ward with her elbow upon one knee, chin in hand, as shown in No. 3. "If you want to realize what a strain your are putting your whole body under when you sit this way," said she, "just let your elbow slip off your knee for a moment; the support will be gone, and you will find yourself bumping your nose iipon the floor, if you are not very quick in catching yourself. - When a young girl whose figure is not yet firmly formed takes to sitting in this position, . do you wonder that she grows hollow-chested and assumes a sort of ln-bent crescent line from the back of the neck to her heels? For the young girl this posi tion is particularly bad, but for the older woman it is bad enough, and if kept up long enough will- shuffle up the arrangement of the vertebrae ap pallingly. "Now, here's another thing we will do, unless we keep close watch upon curselves," explained the actress, as she unwound her smart little boots from the chair rungs and slid out to the extreme edge of the chair. "Did you ever get right Interested in a magazine story, and Just keep on slid ing and sliding and sliding, until you get away down like this? Lok how it ruins the shoulders, and see what a strain on the spine, and note how un gainly the positions of the limbs! This kind of thing spells ruin for the figure. Don't do it. "And don't forget the importance of the hip line," concluded Sliss Curtis, as she sprang up and assumed the position shown in No. 5. "This sort of thing not only tends to run the natural curve of the hip, but throws the whole figure out of kelter, helping to sag down the shoulders and crook the spine. Any rriodiste will tell you that there Isn't one woman out of ten whose hips are the same size and who has the same hip line' on both sides. This is because of too much standing with the weight thrown on one foot: it is natural to throw the weight on one foot most of the time, leaving the other hip and leg lax, and this, of course, makes a difference in the curve and the size, in the course of time." Miss Curtis' own trim little figure, and its adaptability .'to the straight back line of the advance Spring street suit, is shown in picture No. 2.
