out until the lungs are empty.
Inhale again, holding the breath for
longer time than before. With each in
halation and exhalation, slowly raise and
lower the arms, which movements help to
regulate the length of the inhalation and
exhalatiOn.
For another exercise carry the arms
back and forth, with a swinging motion,
from the shoulders only, inhaling at the
same time. While holding the breath, de-
scribe two or three circles, exhalng as you
bring both arms back to the shoulders.
The Whistling.
Another way to initiate the lungs is by
whistling.
Every girl can whsle If she is properly
trained. The first requisite is to find the
whistle, for in its cultivation lies the road
to beauty.
After that little instrument, way back in
your throat, which is operated by the
tongue and the lips, and a certain amount
of brain force, is found, the next thing to
do is to get your big brother, or some
other girls brother to whistle for YOU
Study the way he Fuckers his lips.
Your first attempt at whistling won't be
very musical, but never mind; the thing to
he striven for is a sound, of no matter
what tone, so long as it is powerful

Run slowly up the scale. taking each note
with precision, first with the voice, then
with the whistle.
One form of the whistling exercise is to

| Considerable vigor is to be used in eXhaling
the air through the opening in the lips.
After devoting one week to resting and
another to breathing, exercising must next

| from nerves than anything else, resting is
perhaps the important duty.

One of the greatest nerve specialists of

| TOO much while they are still at lessons.
They burn the candle at both ends be

Useful Suggestions.
Flabby muscles are starved muscles. The
way to nourish them is by manipulations,
or massage, that will create healthy flow
of blood, which is necessary to provide
food for the muscles. 1t has been dem
onstrated over and over again that massage
will restore withered limbs to a normal con-
dition. 1t will do the same for withered
faces but it takes time, skill and patience.
Always use q movement that lifts up the
muscles. The rotary movement is best.
Make the movement upwar1 and outward.
Give more time to the temple and cheek
muscles than to any other part of the face.
A moderately deep friction is best for throat
DEVELOPMENT. For the flabby throat, after
the manipulations are ended, bend the head
forward and backward and twist it from
side to side slowly and gently.
If you are very nervous and tired when
Friday night comes after a week of teach
ing, can you not have a change of scene?
Nothing is more restful. Spend the night
in the country now and then II you can. II
you must remain at home try to get little
extra rest, retire earlier and rise later, or
spend some hours Saturday reading a novel
| of romance, one with little or no plot. Place
yourself in an easy chair for 1t will do your
eyes no good TO read lying down. Drench
a handkerchief with some delicately scented
toilet water and draw it over temples and
brow. It's cool fragrance Quiets over
wrought nerves in a manner that is simply
delightful. From a hygienic point of view,
if from no other, delicate Odors should be
more used They stimulate and refresh in
d wonderful manner.
If you want good figure, buy a
straight-front corset with deep hip. Hips
must be kept in abjact submission There
fore wear as few netticoatS as possible,
and if they are made with yokes, SO much
the better.
1t is very easy to fatter man, and
there isn't one living who doesn't like fat
terry. Try it and you can get anything
you want is one woman's advice. She
has made a study of man without doubt.
A man will tell you contidentially that
'tiattery always goes with a woman"
Well perhaps 1t does. Now, to the more
practical part of your letter of inquiry:
A thick sluggish skin, with blachheads,
should be washed daily with hot water and
a pure soap and a complexion brush or
flesh mitten used afterward. Then rinse
with clear, cold water. If the skin is very
dry rub it with a little cold cream. At
night cleanse the face with a cream in
stead of washing it again. Tepid water
agrees better with some sensitive skins
than either hot or cold water.
Soap and powder for baby's use should
be of the best quality. receipt for an in
expensive hygienic powder is as follows:
Cornstarch ................2i2 ounces.
Talcum ......................21 .21a ounces.
Bor1c acld. d............'-.-... "A ounce.
Mix thoroughly, sift through a thin mus
lin bag, and then keep in powder box,
applying with the powder puff. Clean

or an ordinary wooden toothpick. Never
use sharp instrument for the purpose.
