Withstanding the convenience OF the
elevator. it will be far in the future before the
bread stairway with its wide steps will be abol-
ished from the modern home.
What would be private home without its
stairway?
This feature would, perhaps. be more missed
than any other. Today the mistresses Of homes
realize that the stairway affords them the abil-
ity to display their grace of motion and the
fascinating outlines of the feminine form-that
is. if the mistress knows how to walk up and
down stairs properly. she does not-wel.
that's another question.
To the woman who knows how to ascend and
descend the stairs in the proper manner the act
of walking up and down the stairway affords
beneficial and healthful exercise. On the other
hand, if she does not know how to use the stair
way she will find they extremely injurious
and positively detrimental to the progress OF
her system, and the performance of physiological
functions
For years the advice of doctors to those hav-
ing weak hearts and weak knees has been to
climb stairs regularly, and to make several
trips up and down in the course of a day. This
exercise is found to be very tiresome when first
commenced, but this soon ends and the trips
cease to be wearying in their effects. Within
q few weeks the patient becomes so accustomed
to this form of exercise that he makes it
necessary part OF his daily routine.
So many women have complained about the
tiresome effects of climbing stairs that they
have worked themselves into thinking that
climbing the stairway was thing to be avoided
because it interfered with the proper workings
of the body For this reason the stairway has
fallen under the ban of prejudice, but this is
for the most part in the of women to whom
the proper manner of using the stairway is
lost art or rather an art which they yet have
to learn.
cending or descending a stairway is injurious.
except in the cases where the proper manner Of
doing so is not understood.
Every woman who is able to walk on the level
ground Is just as able to walk up or down stairs,
If she makes up her mind that the possibility
of such a thing is, not beyond her ability.
Stair climbing to. be beneficial must be done
In the proper manner-and that is to be grace
full.
To be graceful in stair climbing woman must
first stand erect, and the motion of the body
should be confined exclusively to the legs The
actual work of climbing is done by the muscles
of the knees and calf with pulmonary assist
ance This is the correct position, and the
stairs are climbed by q system of movements
which lift the body. Any movement which has
a dragging motion is injurious in addition to be-
ing decidedly incorrect and ungraceful

Fortunately the engineer was able to
stop the train quickly and thus prevented
its being ditched. No one was hurt, but

freight trains were tied up until repairs
could be made.
