house cleaning day, when the hard
wood floors are to be wiped I'D, when
the rug beating, the window and tran
som washing, and the busting bring
INTO use the strength and dexterity that
has been accrued from practiced tennis
playing. busting the ceilings and
holdings is an excellent exercise.

such games as croquet, especially If
one is thorough and runs the sweep

running up and down stairs easily

There is no reason why a girl should
not look well at her work, says / a
certain young matron." Her wardrobe
should be quite complete. Several
striped dresses, made trifle short and
without ruffie or trimming, are most

tent to which a woman may wear
white depends on her customary neat
ness. Some women combine thorough
nees and neatness so well that they
can do heavy washing without get
ting splash of water on their clothes.
Corsets positively must be loose. and
they should be the kind that may be
washed. Gymnasium shoes are the
best to do homework in, as they give
free play to the muscles of the feet
One of the most important acces-
series to the toilet is a pair of rubber
gloves to keep the hands from becom-
ing rough and red. They may be
bought in the rubber department Of
almost any of the big stores. Scrub
bling, dishwashing, washing, etc, etc,
can be done while wearing these gloves.
A big, frilled cap also is a nice thing
to have for sweeping day.
In planning to try this old, old, ever
new round of exercise it is well to
hit upon some simple, neat mode of
dressing the hair. Fasten it snugly, |
with plenty of pins, and stick to this
rather plain style of coiffeur during |
exercise hours. There is nothing more |
than struggling hair

which excessive clubgoing, calisthenic
and physical culture classes, and out

length and looseness, and
A cool bath daily after working, and
there is really no reason for any wo-
man to look further than her own
home for all sorts and variety of ply
