Perhaps the miracle was
performed by machines that
massaged and shook the fat
away. Or maybe it was
bandages that make you
sweat so that water is lost.
Or a rubber suit that can be
conveniently worn’ under
clothes, while pounds “drop”
away.

“It can’t be done,” says
Gordon firmly. “No one has
ever invented a passive form
of weight reduction that has
stood up to an examination
by the professionals.”

Rather than spend money
on useless equipment, Lynne
Gordon advises women to
realize that the only

Old sweethearts

MERIDAN, IDAHO
(UPI) - It took Margaret
Whittaker only a month to
make up her mind to marry
high school sweetheart
Claude Brown - not too long
for a courtship that lapsed
fof 68 years.

Brown, 89 and his 87-year-
old bride, had last seen each
other in 1912 after Mrs.
Whittaker graduated from
high school in Blue Springs,
Neb.

A program of reasonable
exercise and sensible eating
will create a more attractive

Cosmetic clinics often
offer legitimate treatment
for troubled complexions,
and their services are well
worth the cost. However,
says Gordon, “sometimes
when you walk into a lush

new you, with the face and
skin that promises love and a
fuller, richer life; no
wrinkles or acne or blotches
or scars; the beauty you had

at sixteen (or wish you had’

had). There are clinics that
will pander to your wildest
dream, and your money can
follow your judgement down
the drain.”

The best approach to
complexion treatment is to
be as realistic as you can
about what will be ac-
complished. Know the total
price, check the beautician's
reputation, and get as much
information ‘as_ possible
before you put your money
down.

While there are many
legitimate services catering
to a woman's desire to
remain attractive, Lynne
Gordon argues there are
many more which promise
unrealistic results. The best

way to avoid serious
disappointment, she
reiterates, is by teaching

yourself to be a careful and
well-informed consumer.
