In her article on THE Lady Who
Does Her Own Work" Mrs. Stowe
dwells on the value of homework in
giving the very healthiest form Of ex.
ercise, and for the average woman
shows it to be far preferable to the
work of the masseur. who, ven in these
days, more than 80 years ago, seems to
have found plenty of patients. She
quantity speaks of them as hired oper-
ators to stretch and exercise Inactive
muscles. Woman" she continues, "lie
for hours to have their feet twigged,
their arms flexed, and all the different
muscles worked for them, because they
are so flaccid and torpid that the pow
ers of life do not go on.
Would it not be quite as cheerful
and less expensive a process" she asks,
"if young girls from early life develop,
ed the muscles in sweeping, busting,
ironing, rubbing furniture and all tho
multiplied domestic processes which
our grandmothers knew OFF, and then

grandmothers in a week went over

brisk use of the broom, which advice
she followed and soon had a round,
plump member as a reward for her la
Dor. If a thin, ~listless girl, with a dull
eye and skin, can by any be per-
suaded to try the broom cure" she will
be astonished to find what a beautifier
it surely is.
Cream cruel, according to an emf
nent English authority. is the ideal
nourishment for thin folk. A teacup-
full taken at night Immediately before
retiring is said to give marvellous re-
suits. To be at its best 1t must be per-
fectly made, then thinned with sweet
cream. Taken in that condition and
warm 1t is agreeable as we'll as fatten-

treatment yields such apparent results
that the cheeks can be seen to expand
from day to day.
The past week appeared to keep So
ciety on the alert. With several we'd
dings, the G.. A. R. entertainments,
teas and card parties there has been no
