@rI and creamy complex
ion, through which the blue veins
are seen, are the attributes of the well
bred st. Paul maiden. And it may he
further set down that these beauties are
nearly always accompanied by grace
full carriage, erect head and plump. tight
arms. If it could only be as
we'll knoWn--mOre's the pity-theSe
beauties of complexion are usually ac-
accompanied by plump, round and we'll
developed legs speaking IN Jenness
Miller language with no false modestv.
They all go together, for the reason that
what produces the peachy complexion
and clear, bright eyes. also produces
the round. plump limbs, whether arms
or legs. If the glow of the cheek is the
banner set up by Health. as some one
has expressed it, then | may boldly as
sert that the plump leg is the firm staff
on which the banner is ct; and thus
complete the figure.
BEAUTY IN WOMEN
is the other name for health, and so long
as health is perfect, the woman is sure to
have that beauty which lies in rich skin
tints; clear, bright eyes; plump, active
figure and graceful. erect carriage. The
growing girl of st. Anthony hill should
remember that and give her cosmetics
to the cook or maid.
The st. Paul girl owes her beauty
largely to two cauSeS-pure air and
plenty of exercise. These are the first
and best remedies i'll natures pharma-
cOpia, and, if taken in season, are the
universal panacea for all the ills that
flesh is heir to. Take the blooming
young girl of Laurel avenue and give
her the air and exercise that will round

Jenness Miller's corset lecture in Mar

''dressed up" 1t is conceded that at
ordinary and unusual times, when I'M
contaminated by oil wagons and street
SWeepers, the air of st. PauliS pure and
sweet and of a quality that tempts
young girls to expand their chests and
inhale it until the most remote lung
cells are entirely filled. This is the cos
metic Dame Nature lavishes on
her daughters, and it can give
cards and spades to pear,
powder, rice powder lily white and all
the balms of youth that ever ruined
skin or enriched an empire. The corner
druggist must laugh in his sleeve every
time he sells one of these nostrumS to
daughter of st. Paul, as he thinks how
she is deceiving herself and nobody
else. Try fresh air and plenty of eX-
ercise, young woman, and if you must
patronize your pet pill compounder, buy
mineral water, invest in chewing gum,
or Squander your wealth on postage
stamps, but don't buy cosmetics. EX-
ercise has a harsh sound to the

coach; but that same languid lily will
undergo tortures untold in order to
beautify herself. Let her walk up the
Selby avenue hill twice day, and then
rub down" with a towel, after the man
ner of training pugiliSts; let her aban-
don powder and substitute exercise,
and the GLOBE will give her an affidavit,
prepared by it's circulation editor, that
her beauty will multiply fourfOld in less
than three months. This will answer
for complexion, but something more is
necessary to secure the erect and
graceful figure that comes of perfect
proportion of parts, suppleness of joints
and good eXpanse of chest. The round
shoulders and dropping, halting gait of
so many WOmen-nOt st. Paul women
may be readily remedied by the
Jenness Miller plan of daily exercise of
raising ones self upon the toes leisure
| ly, in a perfect perpendicular, several
times each day.
TO TAKE THIS EXERCISE PROPERLY,
one must take perfect position with
the heels together and the toes at an
angle of forty-five degrees. Then drop
the arms llfelessly by the sides, ami
mating and raising the chest to its full
capacity muscularly; the chin well
drawn in. and the crown of the
head feeling, as our professor used to
put it, as if attached to a string sus-
pended from the ceiling above. Slowly
| rise upon the balls of both feet to the
greatest possible height, thereby eXer-
cising all of the muscles of the legs and
body; come again into the standing po-
| Sition without swaying the body back
ward out of the perfect line. Repeat
| this same exercise first on one foot and
| then on the other.
1t is wonderful what a Strengthening
| out power this exercise has upon the
round shoulders and crooked backs, and
one will be surprised to note how soon
the lungs begin to show the effects of
| such expansive development.
Another good method of exercise for
Strengthening the back and expanding
| the lungs is very simple: If you will
! try the simple exercise of touching the
palms of the hands together with arms
| extended in front of the body, and then
with a regular and graceful outward
movement the backs of the hands are

| from three to six times, all the while
| keeping the lungs inflated with pure
air, we may be absolutely sure that an
erect carriage and full lung power will
| be established. Of course such exercise
must be taken by women without stays
! and in a loose gown, as, indeed, all eX-
erciSe intended to strengthen and de-
veiop the muscular system needs to be
| taken.
These are light, simple forms of exer-
else, without costume or apparatus, and
| are all that is necessary in most cases.
Many young girls have neither time
nor inclination to take a regular gym
nastic course. and it is doubtful, after
! all, whether such a course is really
| desirable. Women prefer the soft,
rounded outline of the arm and leg. and
| do not sigh for the muscular protuber-
| ance of calf and biceps that comes with
regular gymnastic training. The light
exercise recommended is preferred even
| by Annie Jenness, as it will develop
every muscle in the body without sac

to another. This is the course of round
ness, curves and reserved vital force,
and not that of knotty muscles and pre-
dominating specialties. And as she

add very greatly to health, strength and
grace if practiced daily upon rising and
