In conversation with men who hold high
rank IN tho business and financial world
learn there l. a general expectation among
them that after this issue OF bonds i
placed and normal financial conditions are
reached the country will enter upon a
period ot prosperity. They believe tho
slump, brough, apout, nrst by oyerpro'
duction and aggravated by lack OF eonh-
dcnoe, which brought on period ot con-
traction and period In which people were
not willing to pay their obligations be-
cause other people did not pay them, Is
now nearly At an end, The recovery has
hcan slow, and for that rcas0n the more
hoalthful These men say they can see
the signs Of rcturning prosperity aud OF

modiiles and securities. Doubtless the

the exercise at intervals through the day.
Stand erect, with the heels together and
the weight on the balls of the feet. To
get Just the right position walk backward
a few steps and then stop. You will find
yourself in the normal standing position.
This walking backward, let ME remark In
passing, is capital training for those who
wish to walk forward gracefully. Now,
standing erect let your hands come to
your sides, the elbows straight and the
palms forward, the little fingers touching
the thighs. Keep the elbows straight and
the body as still as possible, raise the
hands straight out from the sides and up
ward until the tips of your thumbs meet
above your head. They will probably
hunt wildly Tor each other in midair the
first few times of trying, but the sense of
locality will soon develop in your muscles
and you will be able 10 move them with a
very delicate accuracy. You will find even
this newly acquired muscular intelligence,
if one may use such a term, OF value to
you.
/ do not think we half appreciate the
extent of delicate perception to which we
might train our bodies, by little taking
thought, making them more perfect in
often dumb for lack of cooperation on
the part of these unresponsive tissues
through which its message must be given
or else be hidden. Repeat the raising
your hands as described until the muscles
are little tired, but never push any such
exercises to the point of fatigue. Rest
moment, then, standing as before, extend
the arms, palms still forward, as far out
ward and backward as possible. Now you
will have a chance to discover what sweep
Ing, busting, stopping and all the rest
have done for the muscles of your back
and shoulders. You will find your chest
bound and your shoulders drawn forward
by too-long contracted muscles, while the
muscles of the back, habitualy extended,
have lost much of their power TO contract.
In other words, you are round-shouldered,
partly from the nature of the principal
forms of exercise you have taken, partly
as a result of your own carelessness. But
persevere in your exercises for chest ex
pansion.
Practice deep breathing after the man
ner recommended a few weeks ago.
Main tain yourself as nearly erect as pos
sible as you 60 about your work, and hold
the head mp. There is a moral as we'll as
physical use in this last exercise. 1t is
the normal attitude ofthe human creature.
If the head is held properly, the body is
sure to be. The mere lifting of the head
is often enough to tighten depression and
muscular WEAKNESS and bring about
mental poIse which is almost certain to
react upon the body. Like all other facts
in psycho-physics, this one may be pushed
to the extreme of literal Interpretation,
and thus made to do mischief, but there is
enough truth in it to make it, when ration
ally applied, useful factor in physica
culture.
am aware that the hints given in this
paper will seem to many too SIMPLE to be
worthy OF attention, but their very
simplicity, when the results they are able
to accomplish are considered, makes them
all the more desirable.

Wholesome Exerciso for the
Women Who Do HousoWork

I take fifteen minutes of vigorous chest
raising exercise, including deep breathing
movements to relieve the strained back
muscles and clear the lungs of carpet
dust.
Nearly all our manual employment is
open to the charge of developing US un-
symmetrically. The right arm is stronger
than the left. The right leg takes a
longer stride than the left one The right
shoulder is more rounded; the right hip
more prominent. Only the left foot is
larger than the right; this because of the
greater weight it constantly bears during
the superior activities of the right side OF
the body.
The ordinary tasks of housekeeping,
while not furnishing in themselves suffi-
cient exercise to build up the body, are
yet not enough to overtask an ord dinarily
we'll woman. The trouble is that most of
our women are not ordinarily well. They
go about their work in close rooms. Their
employments are such as require much
bending over, as well as being of nature
to keep only few muscles in active use.
But even if there is an occasional accumu-
lation of dust on polished floors, if the
windows show where our San Francisco
fog has laid salty fingers, and the dust
pan goes scot-free of sapolio. every
woman who spends six or seven hours or
less in the household rounds should take
time for fifteen or twenty minutes OF
counteractive drill.
1t is quite wonderful what even so short
time as this will do toward developing
the body in such fashion that such
fatigue as most women feel shall no longer
be ian inevitable result" of ordinary
household work.
"There is no kind of achievement you
can make in the world" says Carlyle,
"that equals peri ct health" md an hour
each week nationally employed in physi-
cal culture will go far toward helping
most women to attain this desirable end.
Physical training should begin in the
schools and be part of the child's daily,
unconscious, steady development. This,
however, is truth too recently become
patent for most of US women to have been
profited by, so we must take ourselves as
we are, and do the best we can by our
selves to overcome difficulties.
have spoken of the necessity for chest
development. A glance at any Assem- bly,

veal the greatness of this necessity. OF
the latter class shall have more to say at
some future time, but at present I am
writing for the large army of women who
do housework.
Some have not, as a rule, access to a
gymnasium, nor have they the time to at
tend upon one. Generally, too, they
would not visit one could they do so. But
there are certain simple exercises with
which any woman can help herself greatly,
and develop surprising results, in the
course of few months. One of these is

Strengthening the hands. Stand a foot or

the head thrown we'll back, the chin
touches the wall. Do this four or five

A very handsome brunette was gazed

wings are being very extensively used by
the most fashionab BILE of milliners at the

heard on every side, the end of this CEN
tury is being characterized by greater
artistic virility, by an altogether higher
creative reach, than we who are in the
midst of it can rightly estimate.
Our modern fiction differs from the old
in being study of life rather than of art.
1t concerns itself, primarily and finally,
with the effort to read 1.-THE painful riddle
of the EARTH" and an honest if somewhat
mistaken effort to study humanity along
wholly natural lines. "Can man by search
ing find out manP' is it's question, which
fctionists are setting themselves to an
swer. Along true lines or false, our
modern fiction's consideration of human
life is entirely serious. 1t is study which
has its justification deep in the nature of
things. Nature, life itself, is a constant
earnest study of and running commentary
upon itself. We can have no great and
various study of any series of phenomena

FOR MEN
7 orsNowMake
Suits to Hang
Loosely

The colored shirt will be worn ali this
winter, but will not be as famboyant as in
other seasons. Him remarks concern
ing such shirts:
1t is very useful and think it is most artistic
for morning wear. One needs, however, bit
of variation from the strict sketches in black
and white. The fashions for the seasons to
come point TO either the solid color in dark
blues, drabs or lavenders, or again the sprigged
and figured white, which always has neat ef-
feet. Englishmen carry the wearing of colored
shirts to point little beyond the rules of ETH
quette, especially when IN this country. They
regard us as the colonies and the upper mid
die class has a mistaken notion of our igno-
rance and they believe that we will accept
anything.
This authority comments on the TACT
that on the Thames the many-hued blazer
is as conspicuous as that unbecoming
Cummerbred, and adds that 'even in the
very hot season which the United States
has suffered did not see single individ-
ual decked out in this style. We are more
partial to the straw hat, and our straws
are in much better form than those one
sees in England"
Many Americans who have had suits
built for them in London have complained
that they fitted and hung too loosely but
now the best tailors in America are adopt
ing this style, with notifications, the re-
suits being excellent, especially for large
and big-iointed men.
Concerning sack coats, they have three
buttons, are single-breasted and round
away gradually in front. Goats from Lon
don have even the flaps of the pockets
rounded. The coat is as nearly straight
as possible, and the shoulders must be
square. The trousers for such suits are
loose and straight at the top avd taper
toward the foot. 1t is said:
Fancy trousers, which are worn with black
frock coats, are made of cashmere The pat
terms are in stripes, in dark grays and blues. I
have seen a number of black and white plaids
and few checks, but the stripe remains in
favor The trousers are cut about 1917 in the
knee and IL bottom. They are wide, but have
no spring.
Ditto trousers of cheviots and tweeds and
shepherds plaids, to be worn with coat of
same color and material, for morning suits,
are cut perhaps little wider.
Knickers are made very full and baggy at
the knee, and without the leather extensions
with which they were formerly arranged.
The cold morning bath has gone entirely
out OF fashion, even in England, as the
leading physicians are frowning upon it,
declaring that it has tendency to shatter
the nerves. So instead the warm bath,
which has a soothing effect on the nervous
system, is being prescribed.
1t is reported that we will have to pur-
chase all our golf stockings in future, our
sisters, cousins, etc., being too busy knit.
