THE ATHLETIC GIRL.
hut Reaps Reward Mentally
and Physically.

The outdoor girl has always been
considered womanly simply because
she Is so. Both artists and poets have
pictured her as a type Of young wo-
manhood. There is no reason why
the active, athletic girl should be
'mannish." Occasionally a silly girl in
quest Of distinetiveness puts on mems
ways and apparel-and always to the
disgust of the womanly girl and any
thing but admiration TO the opposite
sex. says American Queen.
OF course, the outdoor girl has and
will ever have her enemies; but, as a
rule, the criticism comes from either
prudes or from other girls whose arti-
fetal makeup would not admit of any
violent form of exercise The prudish
people who rise in indignation have no
tenable argument to offer. and the lat
ter objectors would gladly follow suit
if they could. So. there is really moth
ing in the way of opinions for the
athletic girl to fear This she knows.
so she goes her hygienic ways, reap
ing a rich reward physically and men
tally for her outdoor exercise and pleas
ure.
Many Of the college trainers are doc
tors who are elated over the beneficial
and ever refining influence of athletics,
because II develops a girl along nor
mai, healthful lines; and, unless car
ried to extremes. which is not often
the case, can bring nothing but good
results for the girl herself When the
lungs are filed with fresh air and the
blood circulates as 1t should, it is in
deed benehcent means by which such
results can be obtained.
From broad. logical standpoint the
athletic girl is the real girl. the type
of perfect girlhood and the potential
mother of a race physically and men
tally sound.

HOW TO EAT SWEET CORN.
Helpful Suggestion which VIII

We have decided that corn boiled on

ded husk and stray silk it is thrown
INTO rapidly boiling water and cooked
for ten minutes. counting from the time
that the water bubbles again: II is

Set beside each person a finger-bowl-
an essential not to be forgotten and
before each plate holding a ball OF
butter, a spreader and a fork, says Good
Housekeeping.
Hulls are not only useless as food, but
are very irritating to the digestive or
gans. Why not leave them on the cob
By the following quick and not un-
graceful method? With the corn resting
on the plate, hold 1t firmly
by the stalk end, and, If it is hot
as 1t should be-you will not think a
small corn dolly superiuous. Take a
fork in the right hand so that one tine
only is In position to be inserted length
wise into a row Of kernels. beginning at
tip end Of the cob. Thrust in the fork
and by a slight upward motion of the
hand raise the handle, and the tine will
cut through the top of the kernels; con-
tinue up the row, not attempting to in
sert the whole length Of the tine al each
stage Of your progress. When you have
scored every row, season well--but that
is superfuous! When the feast is over.
you will have what you wanted and the
bulls will be where they we're when you
began-the very best place for them.
Eating corn from the cob could not
by any device yet known be made to
figure as an elegant proceeding, but
many care for it in no other way. An
improvement, so far as appearance goes,
results from breaking the cob in two

the indulgence levels all, both great
