PHYSICAL TRAINING.
The Effects 1t Has Had Upon Amer.
lean Women.


New York Sun.
A. little italian woman, who was the
original premiere danseuse of the
BLACK Crook" company thirty wears
ago and at that time received the larg-
est salary ever paid a ballet dancer In
TINS country, has recently opened g.
school of dancing in this city. Despite
the fact that she is now about fifty
years old, she is as slender as a girl Of
sixteen, and more supple than the av-
erage stage dancer much her junior.
She said the other day that any wom-
an, professional or not, who followed
the same course of training that she
had would fare just as well.
Mine women out Of ten,"3 she said.

Th1s rather severe structure on
American women, and while 1t may
have been true a quarter of g century
ago 1t probably wouldn't pass unchal-
lenged now. One Of the most frequent
comments Of foreigners who visit New
York Is that the women here walk well.
When Dickens visited this city he was
not enthusiastic in his admiration of
American women. At that time they
took little or no part in athletic sports,
and to be delicate physically was as
sumed where it was not natural New
York now has scores of gymnasiums
that are well patronized by women dur
ing the winter, and their interest in the
outdoor sports is little less than that of
the men. If the average Broadway pa
rade of twenty-five or thirty years ago
could be compared with that Of today
the beneficial results Of women's inter-
est in athletic exercises would probably
be apparent. From time to time some
physician or other who has been inter-
ested in the subject has made the as
sertion that American women were
growing taller. It has frequently been
asserted that women of the present
generation are physically superior to
those Of the last, and since the advent
