Dusty.

The frail girl has bean told to exercise
In the open air.
And she takes the advice by playing
golf. tapping the tennis balls. rolling
Of green grass. and by hammock swinging
and novel reading under the trees.
But does she get the most good from
the fresh mir in this way7
Probably not.
For. unless she understands the art Of
exercising hygienically. she comes homo
dusty. tired. faded in spirit as well as in
body.
To exercise correctly is n fine art. that.
oncc II is understood. 1t comes within the
limits OF even the city girl.
The young woman who Is compelled to
PASS the heated term in town can take her
exercise and improve by II as well MS can
the young woman who Is spending tho
summer away from the city.
OF course II is the Young who
can go to tho country who stands the best
chance Of getting the proper kind Of ex-
ercisc and the proper amount Of II.
Rut the girl who II compelled to stay Mt
homo can console herself with the thought
that the city IL healthful and germ free in
the summer time. and that she can enjoy
the. privileges of homo comforts lust when

More than this, the girl who must stay
o. homo In tho summer can rcrel in the
Thought that there are small outings which
arc within her easy reach. and that she
ha- como home every day. refreshed In
body. md rerhaps more jovial In spirit
than though she were away among
strangers md far from her household
idols.
KEEPING WELL IN SUMMER.

She will nnd herself longing for green
Aelds-wil tho summer girl who stays In
.he city-and her thoughts. awake and
nslccr, will turn toward the daisies and the
outtercupe.
On the other hand. the city Iirl who adapts
herself to circumstances can feel re-
freshed Mt the end OF the summer and the
glrl who cannot spend as much Us an hour
In the country will feel better in tho au-
tunu than she did In the spring.
For this wise Girl. the first step Is the
securing OF n room on tho cool side Of the
hcrSe.
At night there must be a breeze. and the
most healthful hrecxcs in the summertime
come from the south and from the east.
With a window facing In one or both thes,
ways the city-penned-in-girl will secure q
