The Rage for Physical Development
Among Young Women.

The Rage for Physical Development
Among Young Women.
From New York Letter to Washington Star.
The rage for physical development
among young women is increasing.
Glasses are forming In gymnasiums where
young ladies' an,: girls are taught, and al
so small clubs which receive instructions
in private houses. One of the latest
phases of this mania is an Unsuitable de-
sire on the part CT many young ladies' to
learn fencing. It has become q fashiona-
BILE accomplishment in Europe, which is
quite enough to make girls here ambi-
tious to &C luire it. Last year there were
only few classes and they were
small. This year there will scores of
young women poking swords at each
other. One Of the best known gymnasi-
ums in the city is within stones throw
of the Windsor Hotel.
The young ladies who 60 there for in
struction and practice have little retiring
rooms similar to bath houses. When
sisting Of basque or jacket and trousers
the various exercises is astonishing.
They are quicker to learn than boys, /
am told, and tduch more graceful at
everything they undertake.. At first
they are made to make certain move
ments with their fingers, hands and
arms. Then they are taught to swing
dumb bells and clubs, keeping time to
music. AS the average young lady does
not straighten out her arms properly
when In the first stages Of her training;
the wooden dumb bells have little brass
bells on them that jingle when the move
ments are made with proper force.
One of the exercises they are put
through is that of marching, with sticks
for guns. They like this very much,
and carry their hea ds with a jaunty air.
What young chap is there who would
not pay good fee at the door to see
them going through evolutions? But the
professor vigorously excludes visitors.
The advanced classes are required to
practice on the horizontal bar. Begin
ners at this exercise have great difficulty
in swinging their feet over, but some of
the persevering onesgo through great
variety of movements with the grace of
an acrobat. Swinging in rings suspended
on long ropes is favorite exercise.
In one corner Of the room there are
several poles in an upright position,
and others INCLINED Ct AZ angle. 1t 10
almost Incredible; but nevertheless 4
fact, that young women will spend hours
climbing those poles. The most popular
exercise is that of mounting and vaulting
over q wooden horse. They make rush
at this and spring into . wooden saddle,
and after much practice they 20 over al:
most without touching. The private
classes usually meet in garrett so many
times q week for lessons and practice.
When young lady who has the physic-
q Development craze il detained al
home by rainy day she goes up to the
garnet and develops her muscles.
