the running of her brother when he

not stop at the gymnasium, while
there Is riding and rowing and swim

ing within. Dancing Is always a
healthy exercise under favorable con
ditions-that is, in pure air and with
not too late hours. And few things
develop the shape better or produce
more grace of movement than fenc-
ing does, calling upon all the mus

After any of this order Of exercise
when the first glow has passed, there
should be a quick bath and a cold
water douche, which prevents taking

and in domestic work. But it should
be understood, by the way, by those
who desire to rid themselves of
super1uous flesh, that walking Is of
little use Tor that purpose unless 1t
produces perspiration; and walking,
when carried to such a point, is not
always best. There are more effec-
tive ways, through gymnast'c exer-
els, to promote per%spiration and
thus reduce flesh. And, after all.
there Is no healthier or better way to
do this in general than by what is
called Homework, whenever there is
the requisite strength for its steady
pull. and it is marvellous here how
the strength grows by what it feeds
on. Many a girl who was too deli

But Hannah slept on, and Simp-

vigorously to Maria about hired girls
and hers in particular.
