Physical Beauties That
the English Girl Can
Teach Us.
Advice on Exercise and
Diet From Our Eng
liSh Cousins.
Important "Don'tS" for
the American Girl to
= Keep in Mind.

Many women are weak in the arms.
1t is because they do not use them
enough Try carrying a chair and you
will see how your arms improve.
The exercise also trains you IN get
ting a good walk. You may not know
how to walk But here Is the rule.
Hold your head up and your ch..st out
Square your shoulders. Draw In your
abdomen. That Is the way to walk
properly. Walk from the knees. Fou
must not walk with the abdomen out IN
the horribly ungraceful manner which
Is the fault OF so many otherwise ad-
mirable woman"
Eat a Good Breakfast.
There is something which the English
woman might have added with gooe
results. She might have said Eat a
good breakfast" So many women do
not eat enough n the morning. They
have no appetite. A very good break
fast FOR the woman who Is not a wo-
man Of leisure Is a cup OF good rich
cocoa, a lamb chop, some potatoes
fried and drained Of the fat, three slices
Of toast and some good preserves.
Another good breakfast consists OF
fruit, oatmeal or other cereal, coffee,
hot rolls and small piece Of good
beefsteak. That Is not too heavy a
breakfast for the woman who is going
out in the morning and who win be
active for five hours before she eats
again.
Her noon lunch can be light and her
stomach will not complain and bother
her as It would have done If il had had
no substantial food a. the early morn
ing. The continental custom OF coffee
and rolls for breakfast may be all right,
but you must get used 10 it in early
life The English women eat heavy
breakfasts, or they take a little sand
witch at II o'clock This is a good idea
for the woman who is none too strong.
There is a theory that eating a little
quite frequently Is better than overload
ing the stomach Certainly the woman
who wants to become strong will see TO
it that she does not get faint from lack
Of food.
The English woman could not endure
life without a cup Of tea at D O'Clock.
with plenty of sugar and cream. And
the idea might not be a bad one for
the American woman.

and she will tell you how she has been
cured of rheumatism and many a minor
I'll I'm that manner She will describe
the roughness OF the towels and will tell
YOU that the American woman makes
her skin soft and her body tender by
taking hot baths.
Again, the English girl will advise you
to get the air. She herself is a crank
upon the subject OF open air. She does
not huddle down into a stage when she
goes out, nor does she take shelter in
an open car. She walks and, winter or
summer, you can see her plOddlng along
Seldom does she carry an umbrella. for
her tweed suit is built for rain and her
serviceable stiff felt hat with its prim
feather is designed for wetting.
The result Is apparent In a wonderful
redness of cheek. The English skin is
perfectly marvellous. 1t is clear. bright.
almost red in color. while its smooth
ness Is so pronounced that you can see IL
across the room. one notices the vel
vety texture of the English skin at n
glance.
Right Kind of Food.
Yet. while the English girl tells you
that her beauty is due TO her cold water
bathing and her exercise. she will add
that Il is also due to the fact that she
eats the right kind Of food. The Eng
lish miss eats bread and butter, the
