MEN MAY TRY JIU JITSU

Women, a dozen or more of them,
each with a stop-me-if- -you-dare ex-
preston on her face and a mysterious
bundle under her arm, filed into one of
the fashionable homes in the West
lake district yesterday morning
promptly at o'clock and prepared to
engage in series of contortions guar
anteed to cure all the ills flesh is heir
to.
Ten minutes later they emerged from
a dressing room and entered the draw
ing room minus the bundles but ar
rayed in garments the like of which
even Solomon in all his glory had never
dreamed of. Some appeared in bathing
suits, others in kimonos and one or
two in the regulation gym" suit,
The variance in costumes, however,
did not indicate the state of mind, for
each had come for the same purpose
to learn more of the methods of the
man who had told them that they
and that in one month they could bel
strong enough to take their husbands
over their shoulders and dispose of
them at will.
The class was started last Wednes-
day when Earl Flynn, advocate of per-
petual youth. beauty and the Flynn VII
tai Center System of Physical Edu
cation addressed an audience of prom
inent girls" ranging from eighteen
to seventy-five.
The statements concerning fannels
was only one of the startling an
nouncements made by Mr. Flynn on
this occasion to the girls who gath
cred at the invitation of prominent
woman on Lake street, and the gath
ering as we'll as the class is only one of
a large number that have been held
in the homes of society leaders all over
the city
Flynnism appears to be the rage, and
the disciple of it together with his
assistant, Mrs. Louis Mcintyre, who
demonstrates the values of the system
by allowing a woman twice her weight
to use her as a cushion, are very much
in demand.
If you desire to fall within the range
of Mr.. Flynn's favor and incidentally
to be happy, healthy and beautiful
you should throw away your glasses
forget that there is such a thing as
medicine, decline the administrations of
the beauty doctor who advocates mas
sage. cease to use that long frowned at
but still endured accessory to womans
toilet-talcum powder. and put cor
sets where they will be beyond the
range of temptation.
The chief features of the system,
however. are not these. as Mr.. Flynn
says that ii does not so much matter
what a person does If he or she will
only exercise enough to throw 1t all
off.
ANY woman can be beautiful" says
he. "if she will take a little time to
give her face the proper treatment,
If a man wants to increase the muscles
OF his arm he will not massage it. He
would not have any in a hundred years,
1t is the same way with the face. Mas.
saying will never do the work.
In one month of faithful exercise a
woman ought to be as strong as a
man. 1t is only a mistaken idea that
woman should be weak and frail and
until she reaches the age of fifty she
is not nearly ag good as she should be
afterward. Fifty is young"
Just what viii do the work was what
the class began to learn yesterday and
what they win continue TO learn In nine
lessons 10 come.
