ASTKAIGHT, erect figure, and
Khouldors that' are guiltless of
even the slightest stoop these
must be yours If you are going- to look
your best in the new Spring: fashions;
in fart, for the woman with round
shoulders or an uncertain waist-line,
there is only despair ahead. 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.
