can be paid q fencer is to say that her
finger play is excellent This advice, if
carefully followed. will give the begin
rer a grace that will make her the envy
of her companions.
When the SUNNI er girl has learned all
these things carefully she may be taught
to swim, provided she does not know
how. The method is worthy of a mo-
ment's notice, however, because it
teaches one how to swim without en-
tering the water. This is the way it is
done. Take chair without back and
place padded cushion on the top. On
this the pupil balances herself on her
stomach. Then the iastructress shows
her how to work her hands, and when
they are all right. her feet, and when
the hands and feet can do their part
she makes them both work together in
proper time. The pupil stretches out
straight from finger tips to toes, palms
downward. AT the word "one" the
hands are quickly turned outward, while
the arms are brought around square
with the shoulders. At "two" the ell
bows are close to the sides and the hands
are brought together between the chin
and breast.
AT the word three" the hands are
sent front to the full length of the arm
with energy and not in purely passive
way. The legs should be carried well
up under the body and outward as much
as possible at every stroke. The toes
should be pointed upward toward the
shins before each kick. The object OF
turning the toes up ie to get all the ad-
vantage possible from them, as it is in
the stroke thatthe power is applied with
the fiat of the soles. The feet ought to
be turned out till the toes are in line
with the elbows just before the kick
After a vigorous kick turn the toes
downward and close the legs with a
snap, again bringing the soles in use.
AS the heels meet the strain which was
put upon the feet to turn the toes down
is taken off and muet be put on again
after the next kick is made
When the hands and feet can each dc
their separate parts they should be made
to work together in this fashion: AS the
hands and arms supply the power, the
| lege are being brought up for the kick,
all at theword "one." The kick is made az
the hands meet the chest and the sweer
with the soles continues the rythm as
/, the hands are brought to the front in the
recovery. By these movements power ie

center Of her body. She should stand
firm with her legs about eighteen inches
apart, the left toe slightly in advance o.
the right. In this posture she should eX-
ecute the waggle.
The ideal waggle consists of a gentle
swaying to and fro once or twice only
with the club over the ball, and in tho
same vertical plane as the arc which
the head of the club ought to describe
in the actual stroke. The player shoulC

ward swing, her left elbow slightly
squared, her right at an easy angle, anC
her hands we'll down, about on leve
with her belt. Then she should swing
her club back to a horizontal position
behind the head, never for second TAX
ing her eye off the ball, allowing the
body to turn gently with it's weight
upon the right foot, raising the left hee
slightly off the ground-a perfectly nat
ural motion. She should keep the head
of her club perfectly steady and let hei
upward and downward swing be prac
tically one motion.
When the young woman comes tc
fence, she will find the one thing neces-
sary for her to pay particular attention
to is the parry. The safest advice tc
give to her is to practice assiduously
all the parties, excepting perhaps tbs
one known as prime, which is difficult tc
execute and very little used in foil play
AS the young woman becomes more dex-
ferrous she will soon see for herself
