The writer was not in the habit of gazing
al Young ladies in the manner indicated. but
he made an exception TO his general rule IN

But YOU do not understand nc. The
trip TO England, in itself, was valueiess. 1t
was the knowledge which the Young lalv
gained there that showed her the way ID
aer present health and beauty. The whoe
secret j, contained in two words, th5y are
.judlclOus exercise.
''lhe Young woman in England rides
waks,rows, plays lawn tennis ,botanizes. rides
the tricycle., goes through a course cf calls
themes every morning-in short Is on the
jump from morning till night, and the re-
suit is. she is generally as healthy and
hearty as her brothers. In the present state
of society in this country, all these things
cannot be indulged in by our girls, without
more or less inconvenience and expense !;
but no one is so crcumstanced that she can
not take all the exercise that is required to
give her sound mind in a sound body"
"Suppose you tell ME what you consider
judicious exercise for lady ?''
81 can do that in few words. Round
shoulders, STOPPING gait and fat chest
are the rule instead of the exception. They
can be cured in very short time by fifteen
minutes exercises night and morning in the
open air or well ventilated room The
morning exercise had best be taken immed-
lately after rising, before dressing for the
day, as tight clothing interfere with the free
movements required
1.-The first thing TO be done is to stand
erect, with the heels together. the head
thrown back, the chest out and the hands
hanging loosely at the side. Then the lungs
should be thoroughly filed with air and slow
ly exhausted perhaps half a dozen times. The
arms should now be brought forward at full
length in front, on level with the shoul-
ders, the palms Of the hands in contact.
Keeping the arms extended. the hands
should be forcibly thrown backward until
the backs of the hands touch behind the
shoulders, while the palms come together
before the chest. Let this motion be gone
through with rapidity some thirty times

above the head, with the palms of the hands
forward; now, bending the hips, bring the
arms down in front, keeping them straight
all the time, until the fingers touch the toes;
then return the arms to their original posi-
ton above the head. The motion should be
performed very slowly twenty or thirty times.
At first i, will be almost impossible TO touch
the floor with the fnger-tip, without bend
ing the knees, hut in course of time il will
be performed readily.
I'm the third movement the lady should
hold her hands close to her side, with the
thumbs still forward. Bring the arms up
from the side. thumbs still forward then
return them to their fret position. The
arms must not be bent at the elbows. II
persisted in, this movement will straigh,en
out STOPPING shoulders. Are these direc-
tons perfectly plain p
Perfectly So"
"Any lady who will vigorously practice
these movements twice day for fifteen min
utes. will presently have full chest, straight
