But just how each club is to be used,

GRACE HOOPS, BATTLEDoRE AND BAL
LOON TOSSING.
am told that several quiet games, old
and new, will be in fashion this year,
especially some that call for only moder-
ate exercise, and where the charm is not
expertness of the players.
The true stgrace hoop is tossed by
means OF pair of grace sticks a long dis
Sance and caught on another pair of sticks
IN the hands of the opposite player, as it
1comes flying throug the air. If it is
thrown so true as 20 fall over the head
and crown of the opposing player, that is
thought to be quite a pretty feat of skill
There is no competition. They are sim
ply grace hoops, the means of exercising
prettily, and the cause of various bewil-
dering little springs and runs to catch the
hoop from falling-for it is disgrace if
the hoe fall to the ground.
The hoops are of bamboo, or are light
firm wood, and better left moderated of
ribbons. The sticks may be as gaily
painted as one pleases, and even have
their bows and tassels.
Back with the grace hoops of our moth
er's youth come the battledores and shut
tlecocks of the same simple period, es-
peciallv calculated TO show Off a rounded
arm and lissome, springing figure; on a
green lawn half z dozen girls IN white at
play recall Dryads in Grecian landscape
But when played with q will battiedore
requires sufficient skill to entitle it to
place in the regard of even the athletic
young woman of the present day.
Still another dainty lawn amusement
requiring agility and alertness without
overstrain, is found in the balloons used
in some schools of physical culture.
These balloons are SO pretty and attrac-
i've that they find universal favor. They
IRE illed with air in place of gas, and the
isplay'' is to keep them afloat. Their
bright hues dance in the light of
summer day, their fairy shapes alight
with an almost impercepsible touch, and
the effort to toss them without missing
develops the muscles to their very best,
while every part of the body is brought
into movement. Old and young own to
finding the pastime most fascinating.
Lawn tennis played with moderation is
an excellent thing and far be it from me
to utter disparaglng word;s but like
many fascinating sports it conceals dan
gers that often fail to be seen until the
mischief is done.
For young men and for boys it is all
that a game should be and affords Just
that opportunity for movement and out
door life which vigorous muscles and
healthful frames demand; for women and
Tor girls it is excellent only when kept
within cont-oI. The rivalry match game
Is responsible for serious physical conse-
guences. The constant, violent jumping
and reachiH 2 are liable to produce strain,
20 that in the case of growing girls injur-
les are sometimes received from which
recovery is slow.
NEW POPULARITY OF cRoQUET.
Croquet, which, during the craze for
tennis and tennis Only. was dubbed the
osstime of hirts and idlers, has once more
2Eeome the vogue, and will be played
S1pon the lawns of '93 with scientific ac-
curacy lin fact much greater attention
