Summer has come, and has surprised you with its new fashion, which bares your legs up to the knee, unlike former years. Stand before your mirror and review your legs... Are they beautiful and well-proportioned, neither fat nor thin?

Dear reader: The Woman's Voice is eager to bring you the most precious and newest counsels of beauty, and you well know that it is not possible to obtain beautiful legs between one hour and the next; it can be done, however, after treating your legs for a month, if excessive fatness or thinness mars them — provided you persevere in the exercise...

To reduce fatness of the legs, reduce your weight in general with a moderate diet: little fat and starch, and plenty of protein and vegetables. Then do this exercise several times a day:

Stand straight, and raise the right foot to touch the left knee with the tip of the big toe; then reverse the exercise by raising the left foot. Steady massage over the fat parts of the leg is of great benefit, and olive oil is used to ease the massage.

To fill out thin legs:

Ride a bicycle if that is possible, or dance ballet; otherwise here is a daily exercise for you:

Lie on your back and raise your legs in a circular motion, as if you were riding a bicycle, while tensing your muscles.

And here is another exercise that fills out the legs:

Stand with heels together and bend your knees outward.

It is most important that you pay attention to your food, for you need plenty of vitamins, and need to eat slowly, giving your nerves time enough for rest and relaxation.
