The majority OF women who act on
Partisan edicts have worked this idea

Ell fair, and get back the backbone
and the firm; rigid waist which gives
the athletic girl the proud carriage OF
a queen which draws all masculine
eyes upon her when she crosses the
room. The exercises illustrated here
are especially designed to give wom-
an supple strength about the waist
line which will make. her walk free
and strong and bring her the distinc-
, tion, and notice which she deserves.
Above all things, if you are going, to
do these motions, practice them pa
itiently and pefsistently for" six or
eight months, eaehtJmoyementt ten or
twenty, times. Don't start. in for a
week systematically and then give it
up, for that will only be conducive of
making you Tame in the region Of the
'flaBby and hitherto unused muscles.

case is the first position, and NO.
the second In the first exercise,
stand firmly on the feet, heels togeth-
er and arms outstretched. Bend over
slowly. using all the muscles of the
waist to keep the motion from being
more of a semi-involuntary fall than a
quiet bend. Take the position as in
Dictated in No. and be sure to have a
chair handy before starting. Then
come slowly back to- the original posi-
ton. Do this one or two times, first
on one side and then on the other. AS

do that motion without speed. In the
second series of movements stand with
the heels together. Take the second
position suddenly and be sure to get
the turn of the body at the waist. The
muscular work required to make that
swing of the waist is what the exer-
else really aims at. 1t should be done
first to the right and then to the left
The third of the series is somewhat
like its predecessor, but it's object is
general suppleness and Strengthening
of not only the waist but the entire
body.

Over in New Jersey a man named

keep chickens-at least they try to.
Breen keeps some and tries to keep
others. But they will get mixed, says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer. This fact

Bernard SIZZLING looked somehow
out of place III East London. He was
tall, aristocratic looking young man
of five and twenty or Whereabouts. His
features were good, his eyes large and
bright, and he was justly proud of his
long chestnut mustache He was a
brave young fellow, too, for he had
been born In the midst of poverty, and
had never lost heart His father and

small private fortune he had devoted
almost entirely to the education of his

It was perhaps to be regretted on
more than one ground that the impe-

shows him rapidly descending, after
several attempts, in the face of a
strong breeze. Several serious acct
dents have occurred to this intrepid
rider, after one of which he remained
unconscious for five days. The exer-

greatest difficulty being experienced
