ways lose flesh at that time. Boxers
bring their weight down or push 1t up
at will by inducing or checking per-
spiration. San Francisco is known
as the home of plump women, and this
is explained by physicians. VINO say
that there is no hot weather during the
entire year in that city, hence very
little perspiration.
You may jump the hoop in two ways.
Just as you would with a rope. Either
skip through one foot, forward. with a
light dancing motion, or jump with
both feet at once. The former step Is
more easily acquired and the exercise
less violent, hence 1t is better for the
beginning.
To reduce large hips, or increase
small ones, lie fiat on the floor. face
downward. Now slip the hoop over the
ankles, while you hold the feet raised
in the air. AS the hoop is large you
will be able to slip 1t over your head
and clasp 1t near the chest with both
hands, as shown in the picture. Now
pull as hard as you can, making your
ankles resist the Juggling of your hands.
Resist with all the strength of your
legs from the hips down. You will
| soon find yourself in the midst of a
hard tug-of-war, while you appear to
be quite motionless and in repose. ana
the observer may find 1t hard to under
stand why the beads of perspiration are
standing out upon your forehead.
Lying in the same position, pull your
| ankles forward with the hoop in reg
ular counts, stretching them back as
far as possible on the even counts.
Turn over on your back, raise your
legs vertically, place the hoop over
them and tug them toward your head
forcing them to resist as before. Then
go through the counts, drawing them
toward the head and stretching them
out on the floor as in the previous po-
sition.
Turn on one side, raise the upper
leg straight in the air, throw the
hoop over 1t and proceed as In the 9TH
err exercises. Be sure to pull the foot
directly up on q line with the upper
shoulder; do not let the leg slope for
ward. Allow yourself ten counts, then
turn to the other side and take ten
counts with the other foot.
To develop the legs, making a strong
ankle and rounded calf. try this. Stand
on one foot, raise the other a foot or
so from the ground and forward. Now
put the hoop over 1t. grasp the hoop
with both sides and pull hard, making
the foot press forward as you do So
You will feel the effort to keep the leg
straight and extended affecting all the
muscles from the hip down. At the
same time the balancing exercise is Of
use Give an equal time to the other
foot Always be careful to let no ex-
ercises become one-sided.
You can vary this exercise by rails
ing the foot toward the side and to-
ward the rear. In doing the latter you
will find that the hoop has to be turned

so as to pass between the legs.
Don't neglect neck and shoulders.
Pass the hoop over the neck, let It
rest at the back of the neck, then pull
It forward while the neck grows strong
by resisting the effort of your hands.
Shift the pressure SO that the neck re-
sists at each side in turn.
BY and by, after you have grown
very athletic, you must learn to take
a running jump through the hoop. Get
someone to hold 1t for you. or hang 1t
II you can't find an assistant. Hang
ing, however, is not convention, for the
hoop is likely to sway and annoy you
in jumping. Begin by placing 1t near
the floor, gradually raise 1t until you
are performing a really clever feat by
clearing its curves. II you ever choose
to give jolly little performance for
the entertainment of some girl chums.
paste paper over the hoop and go
through it like a genuine circus rider.
Vary this performance by Jumping
from the floor. from stool, from a
chair up, down, across, in every con-
ceivable direction and at different
heights.
Many pretty dancing steps can be
devised-invent a little hoop dance
for yourself. This may be done by
taking dainty skipping steps through
it, holding 1t in front and shifting II
to each side. For instance, suppose
you are accompanied by schottishche
music. Make two steps through II
during the march time, then hold II
high over your head and waltz during
the waltz time. Skip through II again
waltz with 1t about your waist. Skip
again. and waltz while you, shake II
a1oft. (Theye should be tiny bells on
the hoop to render this effectively
Now change by rolling 1t ahead OF
you during the march time and keep
ing time with your running steps. II
will require considerable adroitness to
keep 1t at the proper distance. to be
where you can snatch 1t at the mo-
ment of the waltz's beginning and
hold 1t in the air while you whirl with
1t. The hoop shows a strong pro-
pensity to roll in the wrong direction
to ruin into someone or to topple over
as soon as 1t discovers that on it's &C.
curate performance depends the sue
cess of the dance. but you can educate
1T in time and with much patience.
An excellent development of the
arms is obtained by holding the hoop
above the head. keeping It horizontal
and holding It with a hand on each
side. Now press with the arms, strain
ing as II to part the hoop in two. The
right arm Is always likely to carry the
day. but the left must give It a good
fight for supremacy. Now lower the
hoop to the shoulders. still keeping II
horizontal. stretch the right arm out
to the right side until II Is at full
length. letting the hoop slide to adapt
to the position; stretch the left arm
similarly. letting the right arm relax;

i Did you know that an ordinary hoop,
such as you and your mother and your
father and your grandmother and your
grandfather all rolled when they were
in short frocks and trousers. can be
made the means of gaining health and
beauty? Sometimes girls write to me
and ask how they can get good all

cts. Now 1 am going to tell you how
q common wooden hoop. which costs
from 1--WE to twenty five cents, can give
you as good exercise as you need,
, either indoors or out
In the first place, choose a large
hoop. Otherwise you will be hampered
when It comes to the more difficult
exercises in which you put yourself
through the hoop, so to speak. In
fact, II II Is big enough and you are
persistent enough, you may train like
a veritable circus performer, and scott
lat the ladies who think they are doing
lsomething remarkable in the ring.
Be careful to choose a. hoop that is
perfectly smooth. Do not run the risk
}of getting splinters into your hands.
And. by the way. IL you ever are the
victim Of this common little accident.
ldo not waste q moment in removing

igeon do so, IL 1t is beyond the reach
,of your effort. Take a fine needle,
never a pin; dip it in boiling water to
Isterilise 1t; then probe very gently

possible. After the splinter is removed
you should dip the wound in the hot
xest water you can bear to dispose of
any possible germ. All this may
sound like a great deal of foolishness,
but a dangerous felon arising from the
prick of a pineapple thorn has lately
come to my notice and made me real
,aze the risk of poisoning that pretty
hand runs.
As to the exercises: Take the hoop
outdoors IL 1t Is good weather, for all
exercise gains infinitely in the open
lair. II you have within reach a smooth
stretch of ground. sidewalk or pave
ment, start off with a good rollicking
ecamper that you have thought you
had outgrown. You have not. No
woman is too old for wholesome exer-
else. If your running is out of prac-
tice and therefore slow, you may begin
with the hoop on a level, but you soon
should be able to take 1t down long
slopes, where 1t will tear along ahead
tof you at a pretty pace. one that gives
you a good chase to keep up with IT..
tFhis exercise Is especially recommend
ed for the stout. Did you ever see a
professional sprinter who had more
Mesh than he wanted?
Jumping the hoop will also reduce
