1t was sport that belonged exclusively
TO mans realm, but it does not at the
present time. What does. in fact? No one
has ever doubted its value as an exercise
and as means of developing strength
and grace in a marvellous manner. So the
girls took 1t up-and really, now, is there
any sight more attractive than a graceful
girl fencing? The strength of the wrist,
the poise, the freedom acquired through
devotion to tho foils always will repay
either man or woman who will devote the
necessary time to it.

Girls sometimes suffer injuries from it.
and so, too, do men. It is as easy for a
man TO fall and break a couple Of ribs
as it is for his sister. but the old-fash-
toned people never get this idea into their
heads The one old idea remains FIRM
that women are usurping mans amuse-
ments and that no good can possibly
come from it.
That the girls have trespassed IS true
in a measure. Tennis was the first game
of an athletic character which found any
favor. That was about thirty years ago,
and up to this time it is nearly as popu-
lar as it was then. Later came golf and
cricket and later still even swimming.
Just a few of the holder ones commenced,
and they generally had common sense
brothers who encouraged and helped
them. But now the girl who cannot
WELD a good racket, who is unable to
get from green to green quickly and
who will not bet about a swim is scarcely
to be found. Even if she is really and
truly ignorant about them. it would not
be policy to say so. Well, hardly, when
fashion spells gymnastics with capital
letters.
Indoor work has opened a field for all
girls. for most Of the games demand that
the pocket book be opened, the wider the
better And the tfInid get chance. too
They can take solid comfort in doing
handspring or back flip in a secluded
corner Then again class work is not as
expensive. but there is a certain amount
of sOciability connected with it.
The preliminary work is the most mn
portant Of all. AT the same time, with
thu exercises of the first year there is
usually a course of lectures upon hygienic
living, how to acquire and preserve a
proper carriage and the value Of outdoor
life and regular living,
With such careful training how Is it
possible for other than good to come from
