Meanwhile, besides the performances
they are rehearsing; and when they are
not rehearsing, they are going back
and forth to their homes. They get not
more than seven hours sleep. and they ex.

But ten hours Of exercise is more than
any woman Of domestic interests would
undertake TO undergo, though she could
exercise two hours q day. an hour at night
and an hour In the morning. without firing

The running exercise Is considered by
experts the best Of all. Take the sides Of
the kimono in each hand and run up and
down the room. Run around the table,
run all the whole hour II you can, and you
will be much benefited.
In one Of the gymnasiuns OF New York
there is a class In running. The pupils
wear pajamas and low, fat heeled GYM
nasiun shoes. And one Of their exercises
Is that of running around the room in single
file. one chasing the other. keeping step TO
music for half an hour at time.

The lesson OF the Oriental who teaches
hia pupils to eat slowly is that slow eater
requires only third as much food as a
rapid eater. He masticates it we'll. chew
