by one Charles Narcotic, who has

hardly necessary to add that the

Brooklyn. An art club at the French
capital selected Miss Matson as an ex-
ample Of perfect shapeliness and ex-
tended her an invitation to sit for them

Miss Matson on the Arm.
A reporter for the New York Press
called upon Miss Matson the other day
and asked for her views upon the sub
ject of arms, concerning which she
must be stocked with interesting and
unusual information.
II certainly Think said Miss Mat
son, "that the arm is one of the most
beautiful attributes of womankind, and,
as fashion and polite, refined society
has decreed that it may be displayed
without forfeiting the modesty woman
should never permit to grow dulled, 1

preached with the same freedom as a

man has the most beautiful of all arms

CORBETT EXERCISE.

He Prescribes a Regimen for Women
Who Want to Be Healthy.
Mr.. James J. Corbett, whose physical
achievements entitle him to considera-
ton when he speaks Of exercise and
training, tells what he thinks women
ought to do to attain health and beauty
says the New York World. He has not
too high an opinion Of the development
of modern women, and he compares
them with the women of Greece and
Rome, greatly to the advantage Of
those ancient danes. >
A cold dip is the first feature Of Mr..
Corbett's regimen of women. He ad-
mits that it may require some courage
on a morning in winter, but he into
mates that after a few trials women
will become welded to the practice. It
will waken and nvigorate them % %
nothing else can; 1t will clear their
skin and strengthen their muscles, the
great champion says.
After the cold dip he recommends
some simple exercise with one-pound
dumb bells to bring the muscles of the
upper part of the body into action,
loosen the Sinews, reduce superfuous
A1OSA uAu uCFSAOp uuSCu1Sl GlSSuSS
Then a rub down with a Turkish towel
follows and the body is prepared for
it's days work. Mr.. Corbett also rec
ommends hot water drank some time
before breakfast or hot tea. Coffee
bears the weight Of his disapproval
He believes also in mild milk punches
and advises the seeker after strength
to drink two day, one between break
fast and luncheon and one between lun-
cheon and dinner. He does not add
whether or not he takes this form of
nourishment when he is in training.
Mr.. Corbett believes thoroughly in
lawn tennis. but he does not believe at
all in the way women act after they
have been playing. They should not
stand around often in draughts, the
great man says and run the risk of tax
ing cold, but they should speed at once
to their rooms and take a sponge bath,
followed by a vigorous rubbing down.
A cold bath, he thinks should end the
day.

would have been as perfect throughout

my impression is that a woman is born

neglected or ignored than the physique
Of, the college graduate, and, happily,
the tendency Of the present is to re-
gard this culture with a more sensible
and more rational concern than here
tofore. The American girl ut this mo-
ment is a grander type Of nature in
her carriage, her health, her self-re-
lance, her ability, her physique, than
is the girl of any other nation on earth.
And this convdition is gaining recogni-
ton more and more every day. Our pa,
pers and our magazines are showing us
in almost every issue the distinctive
feature and characteristics Of the real
American woman, while she herself in
flesh and blood is forcing the same
truth upon our cousins across the sea.
It is, therefore, not untmely to hear the
testimony Of one American woman who
has had the pleasure Of foreign recog-
milton as perfect type Of womanhood
and who rejoices in the distinction be
cause it has demonstrated in a country
where much stress has always been
laid upon physical culture that an or
binary American girl in the normal con-
dition Of American girls generally is
