LESSON XL
PHYSICAL CULTURE. _
To keep young and attractive looking, is the desire
of every woman as she approaches middle age. How
to be beautiful is the query of every girl nearing
womanhood. This passionate desire for physical charm
seems inherent in women of all ages and yet, paradoxi
cal as it sounds, comparatively few women are willing
to take the necessary pains, and exercise the healthy
self-denial, that means physical attractiveness.
THE PHYSIQUE HOLDS THE EYE.
While beauty of face generally first attracts us, it is
the physique that holds the eye. Every woman not
born a cripple or deformed has a right to a good figure,
correct carriage and easy, graceful movements. Un
fortunately, these are not always given by nature; in
most cases work is necessary to acquire and retain
them.
I believe everyone after childhood needs some form
of physical culture. Children in their play exercise
every muscle of their body, but after playtime is
passed only certain sets of muscles are used. This is
the time when It is necessary to supplement with
daily, systematic exercise.
Contrary to general opinion, hard work does not
make a strong, well-developed body. Manual labor
makes certain muscles strong, but it doesn’t encour
age general strength, grace or poise. If this were so,
We should find in farming communities the highest
types of physical perfection, for it is certainly the men
pnd women workers in the country who accomplish
the greatest amount of physical labor. But the truth
Is that farm work does not tend to grace or perfect
development.
THE WOMAN ON THE FARM.
As a rule women work Indoors and are even de
barred the advantage that the man has In working
always in the pure air. There is also a deadly monot
ony aljout the woman’s share of farm work, and work
done without lightness and gladness will make the
worker listless of movement and stooping of shoulders.
As a rule, however, farmers’ wives are healthy
women; their lot Is far preferable to that of factory
workers and under certain conditions better than office
or store employment. But farm-bred women age young,
in many cases they succumb to the sameness of their
tasks, and the body becomes bent and stiff while still
in the youth of life. Physical culture is as necessary
to the woman ou the farm as to the shut-in denizens
of a big city.
It Is Indeed difficult to point out any one occupation
that develops every muscle of the body. The child’s
games and the “sports" of the adolescent answer the
youthfuK demands for physical exercise, but few older
people feel this demand. They are comfortable as they
are, and as years go on there is less and less desire
for physical exercise. At the same time most people
admit that they are neither perfectly healthy nor well
proportioned. It should be borne in mind by every
body that weight and proportion can be controlled;
that muscular development is not a gity of nature, but
the result of systematic training.
NOT VANITY ALONE.
It la not personal vanity alone, but the desire for
personal efficiency that Is behind the cult for physi
cal culture. I have little patience with people vho
proclaim It a matter of indifference whether they grow
stout or not. or whether their figures keep young and
lithe. Indifference to one’s physical appearance Is
either laziness or a certain form of egotism, not at
all commendable.
Inertness, disinclination to exercise, a little aching
In the muscles are characteristic of middle age. The
man or woman who does not take systematic exercise
is the first to grow stiff and heavy and to put on an
undue amount of flesh. One who has always kept in
good condition, whose muscles are firm and elastic
has little to fear from middle age. At this period a
woman may have to work a little longer at her exer
cises if the disposition to put on flesh is present, but
her task is nothing compared to the woman who has
let “herself go” all her life.
THE YOUNG HOUBEKEEPER.
To Suggest physical culture to the housekeeper and
mother may seem at first almost cruelty, the adding
of another burden to an already too full day and to
muscles already overtaxed. Yet this busy, hard
worked housewife does need a certain amount and
kind of physical culture to bring vigor and elasticity
to her movements, and to exercise unused muscles
so they may aid and help out those which at present
seem too much used.
She should at least devote a few minutes each day
to restful physical culture. If she can do no more,
night and morning, let her go through the series of
breathing exercises outlined In Lesson X. This will
Invigorate the blood so that the bodily tissues are
promptly renewed,'and teach correct poise so that she
gets profit and not weariness from her dally tasks.
Housework is excellent physical culture, if it is prop
erly done.
Suppose the care of a house and small family de
volves upon an Intelligent woman who believes It her
duty to keep herself as well and strong as possible.
How would she go about this, regarding the home as
her gymnasium, and her broom and other household
utensils as her apparatus? This Is the regime 1 out-

Item 11.
We give and bequeath to our friends,
the Juniors, our best wishes and hopes
that the lives of the said Juniors will
be happy and content.
Item 111.
We bequeath to the said Juniors all
that we may leave behind us namely,
our favorite teachers, books, nooks,
plenty to do.
Item IV.
We will to the aforesaid Juniors our
After a good night’s sleep In a well-aired room, risa
diffidently early to do ten minutes’ breathing exer
cises, take a cold bath or salt rub and dress properly
for housework. By this I do not mean a loose wrapper
thrown over an uncorseted or badly corseted figure
and run-over shoes. A woman who attacks her day’s
work clothed in such fashion hampers herself as much
as if she were to tie one arm to her side. Think a
minute of the many discomforts and useless move
ments that come from such slack dressing and you
will see that this statement Is not an exaggeration.
PROPER COSTUME FOR HOUBEWORK.
An Inexpensive working costume, comfortable to
-wear and easy to put on, consists of a one-piece belted
gown, fastening with a few buttons in front, made of
some wash material like dark blue gingham or gray
and white striped coutll. Have this finished with a
loose, turnover collar and three-quarter length sleeveß,
and the skirt should be quite three Inches from the
ground. If a woman ever wears corsets she should
most certainly wear them while doing housework; If
she wears them properly, holding herself out of them
Instead of sinking Into them, as so many women do,
she Is more comfortable with corsets on than without
them. She should wear well-fitting shoes with heels
of comfortable height and kept always In repair, for
footwear is of first importance to a woman who must
be on her feet all day.
MAKE PHYSICAL CULTURE OF HOUSEWORK.
A woman can turn her dally tasks to helpful physi
cal culture If she goes about them with light, elastto
step, keeping the head erect and weight poised on the
hall of the foot. While washing dishes do not lean
against the sink. If possible, have a sink so high that
stooping is not necessary; If this is not practical, place
something under the dishpau to raise It to the proper
level.
Turning mattresses develops the shoulder and arm
muscles, but do this properly, throwing rather than
pushing and tugging. While doing all heavy work,
use the shoulder and hack muscles rather than lift
from the waist. If you have cloths to shake, bold the
arms high while doing it, to develop the shoulder mus
cles and stretch the figure under the arms. Any exer
cise or work that stretches the figure, lengthening it
from the waJstltne, will correct stoutness and a ten
dency towards a thick waist.
Sweeping is a valuable exercise if correctly done.
Do not dig the broom Into the carpet, but sweep the
surface of it with light, swift movements, keeping the
body poised always on the balls of the feet
STAND PROPERLY.
A great deal of housework must be done on the
feet. Remember, that to rest heavily on them or drag
them does npt relieve but only increases fatigue. I
have known women to do dance steps while dusting—
an excellent idea.
While you are on your feet, stand property; when
it is possible to work sitting, do so. A high chair for
the ironing board is a necessary part of the kitchen
furniture and so Is a comfortable, broad, low chair
where with feet planted on the floor the housewife can
prepare vegetables or do work of a like nature.
Housework is hard work, but so long as It Is within
the measure of one’s physical strength, it can be done
with, profit to the physical well-being. The woman
who sits down at the dinner table so tired that "she
cannot eat” has either been wasting her strength, or
else her untrained muscles are not physically abie to
do the work asked of them. In either case, whether
it is to gain strength *or to use her strength more
wisely, she needs some amount of physical culture.
THE SEDENTARY LIFE.
Women who lead a sedentary life, who are con
fined In an office, shop or school-room during the
entire day, undergo a test for endurance that calls
forth a strain on the strongest constitution. Such a
woman is in great need of systematic physical exer
cise. If she can devote only ten or fifteen minutes
twice a day to this, that Is far better than Ignoring it
altogether, and I strongly advise such a worker to look
carefully over the exercises I shall give in the next
lesson, choose those particularly directed to her needs,
find practice them.
I advise her also to walk to and from her work. She
cannot use her time to any better advantage and after
a little perseverance she will find that the walk will
refresh rather than tire her.
To derive any benefit from walking, however, the
step must be light and elastic, the weight of the body
swinging easily from one leg to another. Hold tba
head erect, the chin well In as if a string were pull
ing from the middle of the head, lifting it skywards.
Take care to breathe deeply and correctly, through
the nose with the mouth closed, taking In long breaths
and retaining them some time before exhaling. Begin
by holding each breath while taking ten steps and
gradually Increase this until twenty steps may ba
taken In one breath.
Walking is.not a rapid reducing exercise, hut thera
is nothing better calculated to keep a person In good
condition and to promote general ease and health of
the body.

Inaugurates New Police
School; Use the ‘Movies’
Paris.—M, Hennion, Prefect of Po
lice, has just inaugurated the new po
lice school. The feature is the use
made of the moving picture machine.
Various requirements of police duty
are shown to recruits by an ingen
ious and even amusing series of pic
tures. Here, for instance, .by-laws
are being contravened by a housewife
who is shaking a carpet out of a win
dow or hanging linen from er win
dow eill. There a chauffeur is pass
ing on the wrong side of a tramway,
or a peddler lias illegally spread his
wares on the ground.
On the other hand a ipolieeman is
required to aid the public as well as
to summon or grrest ill-doerß. And
the movies show how he can give
first aid in a variety of accidents and
restore apparently drowned persons.
There is also information to be given
concerning a geography of Paris, and
the film exhibits the correct attitude
towards women when they ask ques
tions.
The pictures teach also jul jitsu
and the methods of tackling an armed
Apache and burglar, and finally gives
what one may call the history of a
crime. A house has been burgled,
the police are called In. and the pic
tures explain what the young police
man must do.
In his speech before a representa
tive gathering M. Hennion insisted oh
the necessity of developing by in
struction all the faculties of the po
liceman. It was not sufficient to
thrust him into his duty without spe
cial knowledge.
An Interesting Story of
the German Crown Prince
Berlin. —An Interesting story of the
German Crown l’rlnce and the Trip
oil campaign has just come to light.
A reviewer of Dr. Paul Liman’s book
on his Royal Highness suys in the
“Frankfurter Zeltung" that, when the
Tripoli war broke out the Prince
went to the Foreign Secretary, Herr
von Kiderlen Waechter, and laid be
fore him proposals for active inter
vention In the affair. Herr von Kid
erlen-Waechter would, however, have
nothing to do with the suggestion.
The “National Zeltung” confirms
the story and says it Is Informed by
a friend of the late Foreign Secre
tary hat the latter olten spoke In a
circle of Intimate friends of the
Prince’s proposals, which were pre
sented to the minister In great de
tail.
His Royal Highness’ main argu
ments were that Italy’s action had
created a new state of affairs and
that an opportunity was provided
whereby Germany If she intervened
might reap a reward which would
compensate for the rebuffs she ex
perienced In the Morocco affair.
DERBY RECENTLY WON BY
AMERICAN NAG ATTRACTS
MORE MONEY THAN EVER
London. —Gambling on ths Derby—
recently won by an American horse—ls
believed to have attracted more money
thin year than ever. The first prize of
the Calcutta sweepstake lottery, which
Is the most popular method of risking
one’s money, amounted this year to
about $300,000. Ten years ago the in
vestments in this lottery warranted a
prize of only SIOO,OOO. The prize as
It now stands Is probably the largest
offereil by any reliable form of lot
tery In existence.
The Calcutta Turf Club started
this lottery as a more cluh affair rnnny
years ago, but when the sals of tickets
was thrown open to all applicants the
investments rapidly grew until this
year saw them coming from all parts
of Europe, all the British colonies and
the orient.
The J-smdon stock exchange had a
sweepstake this year which offered a
first prize of $12,600. This also was
originally a friendly affair among
members but It haa become almost a
public business. Members subscribe
for batches of tickets and sell them to
outsiders at a premium. At the par
value of $5 the tickets brought five
sixteenths premium this year.
Nearly all the London cluhs hava
their Derby lotteries One pound fss)
Is the favorite price for a chance, but
in some wealthy clubs there are five
pound tickets as well, while in the leas
opulent club houses chances tray be
tak'-n for one dollar. Many of the
gamblers are men who know nothing
about raring, and In some clubs prac
tical! every member hns a small In
vestment. Even the King’s name Is
put down at tha cluhs lit which he
belongs.

Summer Advertising
From the New York Times.
The most valuable asset in advertising is age. It
is something which cannot be rushed or bunched. It
has no overnight competition. The new advertiser
can't date back.
Advertising cannot take a vacation without a loss.
The cumulated values of previous months or years im
mediately begin to shrink or evaporate. Tt, will invari
ably cost more to make good the shrinkage than to omit
the vacation.
Good advertising is a continuous performance bo*
fore the same audience. No better definition was ever
invented. It admits of no exceptions or variations. /
Buyers are not so firmly attached to buying tradi
tions during the summer months as at other seasons.
They go about more, enjoy more freedom, are interest
ed more in variety. The new advertiser finds it easier
to break in; the old advertiser finds it necessary to be
more persistent and watchful. The province of adver
tising is to attract new customers, as well as to hold old
ones, and the vacation season, more than any other, is
the season of changes; the season, more than any other
when the advertiser can least afford to permit his
goods and his service to be forgotten. The trifling pur
chase of July or August is often the forerunner of a
much larger purchase in October or November.
