Her whole future depended on her
physical development The Spartan
girl had 10 contest with the boys in
the gymnasium. No feeble girl could
pass herself OF as robust by any arts
OF dress. Every sickly girl was obliged
20 abstain from marriage. The race
could not be allowed 70 deteriorste by
making mothers OF It's poorer speci-
mems. Tho Greek women were the
finest who have existed, physically,
and il IS impossible 20 look at the
large-eyed, sound-lunged creatures, as.
they appear in any classical collection
without feeling that they tasted al the
10y and sweetness and beauty Of living
Helen should try her namesakes

One Of the prettiest women in New
England was sickly and ssllow as girl
on the verge OF consumption. Turn
her out % pasture. said wise ply
siclan. She throve like a colt, and on
the same regimen. running and kicking
up her heels. one day her brothers
planned nutting expedition. May
ask Nelly" She questioned. planning
fine time for her only girl friend
Pooh, she cant go" answered the
boys. She's girl" One Of those girls
died of the New England scourge, but
il was not the one whose sex was for
gotten. She still thriyes and can still
climb tree.
Helen should swim and should paddle
a canoe She should throw a stose. She
should fence. She should ride horse,
but not on side-saddle. She should
skate. She should dance She should
walk, walk like a tiger with every mus
Gle doing its work. firm, easy, counter
poised. She should have the full grace
that nature meant 10 bestow on her
crowning production. Every day Of her
life should round her arms and fill out
her chest and train down her figure and
make firm her muscles and give her the
poise and lightness OF varied motion
give her vital force and staying power
Helen should eat, and what she
should eat and how, should be one Of
her teachers chief studies. Good d.
gestion means good complexion.
Pickles and pink ice cream mean
dull thick skin with pimples. If Helen
is TO come into her kingdom the
kitchen in which her meals are pre-
pared must be presided over with as
much intelligence as il il were a
chemical laboratory. And IL is. The
experiments conducted in il are Of the
utmost Importance, and on their re
suits depend the brightness OF Helens
eyes, the clearneGs, softness, satin
smoothness of her skin. Helen's cook
can do much TO make Helens flesh
fabby and coarse, sickly, blotchy and
irritable. Helen's cook can do much 20
make it elastic, pink tinted and dim
plcd. Helen is a baby sovereign and
she must be reyerently served with
4 L. L. H. L
plenty of simple nutritious broths and
soups, coarse bread made from whole
wheat -four, and simple sweets and
puddings. She must eat at regular
hours and be taught a respect FOR the
gospel OF that which is wholesome
She must have a bath every day
Perhaps sponge bath with a good
rubbing in the morning and warm
bath at bedtime This is good for both
figure and complexion.
All OF these things should contribute
TO the really artistic care of her body
and to the education OF vital grace.
Helen's beauty teacher could not trans
form her features, but, If she were
such teacher as we shall vet have for
such beauty courses Helen could hardly
fail Of back straight as an arrow, lips
and cheeks rosy. fine eyes, soft bright
hair and a body plump and well
shaped, for these are quite within the
control OF training.
H H.. used to say that laughing
masters might as we'll be paid as dane
ing masters to help on society" Run
ming races in the wind is the very thing
70 out joyOusness into Helen's manner.
and joyousness IS so rare in America as
TO be IN itself almost beauty. Helen's
face must not be empty or dull She
must think and She must feel. and the
thinking and the feeling must put lie
and expression into the statue She
must know. and the sound mind in tho
sound body must make sweet ard
wholesome woman.
And 20 what end? Ono Helen might
20 back on Der beauty training. sit over
a register, eat heavy coarse dinners
with bon bons between meals and cover
up the frst pimply blotch that .p-
pesred on her forehead with chalk and
carmine and dotted veil But that
does not alter the fact that tho coming
