Exercise and Fresh Air.

To the woman who is all day In al
Office the problem of exercise is a diff
cult one to solve. The distances tt
and from her work make it practically
impossible for her to do any walking
excepting from her door to the elevated
station or the car. Her activity in the
Office all day, though she may walk &
great deal indoors, simply uses hel
strength without benefiting her. Fol
luncheon she seeks the place com
mending itself for it's nearness, and shs
rides home at night. And the evening
she spends either in rest indoors, after
d hard day, or else, with the conscious
ness of duty done, she spends the even.
ing In a close theatre. There is nc
time for exercise in the morning, therf
is no time at night.
In spite Of all this, n woman han
solved the problem. She goes to hei
work every morning not later than she
used, and neither her color and fresh
ness nor her elasticity Of step is being
forfeited to long hours and hard work
every day. Like so many other people
in this crowded city, she lives in an
apartment-house. She is on the fourth
floor, and above her is the attic, filled
with trunks and boxes of a score OF
boarders. The attic has four roof win.
dows, left open excepting in rainy
weather.
One day, when they were open and
the sunshine was pouring in, the wo
man In question went upstairs to hei
trunk, and saw the possibilities Of the
room. She talked it over with hel
landlady, who said that she might dt
as she liked so long as she didn't dis
turb the boarders.
So she moved all the trunks close tt
the wall, leaving a long lane between
which extended the length OF the gar
ret. On the rafters at one end she
fixed two small iron pulleys, purchased
for twenty-five cents apiece, and ftte6
with ropes, tied to a lead weight. A
A duplicate of these was fastened tt
a side wall. Two Indian clubs wers
added, and her gymnasium was com
pleted at a cost of SLIGO.
In the morning she was called ter
minutes earlier than usual, and, ii
bath-robe and slippers, mounted to he
gymnasium, which was full of fresl
air from the open windows. Two min
utes OF steady pulling at each set o.
weights, two minutes practice will
Indian clubs, and four minutes devoted
to walking up and down the space be
