"In one of her plays of last winter
Ethel Barrymore was obliged to go UP
q ladder. 1t was straight up and
down ladder leading to the roof. one
of those skylight ladders, the terror
OF the amateur. Miss Barrymore glided
up this ladder. never pausing until she
had passed out of sight. II took prac-
tice, but afforded an exhibition Of
grace. Suppleness and strength, an
example of agility. ability and physical
culture
AN exercise for eho reduction of the
hips and abdomen is found in running
up and down the ladder. Take hold Of
the top and go up the ladder at q
bound. Come down again, get your
breath, and 20 up slowly. Do not stop
before you are out of breath.
Fresh Air for the Complexion.
For the complexion there is nothing
like fresh air. but a great many girls
who have plenty of fresh air do not
possess good compilations. The cc,n-
pleXion is dependent upon taking ar
into the lungs. Many persons breathe
with just a portion of the lungs. They
never open them wide One cannot
breathe too fully nor too deeply; one
cannot inhale too much fresh air, nor
can one go to too much trouble to Sc
cure steady fresh air supply and the
means of taking it into the lungs.
Almost every case of nervous pros
tration comes from the lack Cf ueep
breathing and the absence of pure air
in the lungs. People who learn how to
breathe soon recover from nervous de.
preston, and in little while they show
it in the breadth of the shoulders. the
depth of the lungs and the purity Of
the skin.
There is another thing that must not
be forgotten. especially by the woman
who is striving to reduce he. weight
by exercise, and that is the matter Of
eating at night. She must ca after GO
ing through with her gymnastics. II
she does not do this she will awake
with a dull headache and will grow sal
low instead of pink.
The best of all things most easily
digested is fresh fruit or stewad fruit
cooked until tender without sugar AMI
eaten without cake or crackers. Ba-.
nanas are the least desirabla, but ap-
pie sauce, raw apples, pears ana melons
are good. The woman who exercises
at night must not eat apples Il apples
do not agree with her, and they dis
agree with many. Pineapples are a
thousand times worse. acting like
poison upon many system. Berries
cannot be eaten by all persons. When
you have found a fruit that agrees
with you stick to it
