There is a difference between the
size of q muscle and Its tone, and
what a woman should aim at In her
athletic exercise, says an authority, is
tone. A good tone means that q
muscle can do the greatest amount OF
work possible for muscle of its size
1t means power of endurance rather
than the ability to lift heavy weights
or perform astonishing feats that re-
Quire only a temporary output OF
strength. Tone Is obtained by gentle
and sustained exercise. Violent exer-
else may produce a rapid growth of
muscle, but gives poor tone and
tends to produce a knotty effect that
no woman wants, however much II
may be admired in the opposite sex.
When Increase of size is not desired
women are advised to avoid the use
of horizontal bars, dumbbells. clubs
and all exercises that severely tax the
strength. They may go through a
dumbbell course without the dumb
bells, play tennis, run, walk and prac-
ttce breathing exercises

THE PARTIAL MOTHER,
She Who Exalts "A Son at the Expense
of Herself and Her Family.

She Who Exalts Son at the Expense
of Herself and Her Family.
Concerning the partial and some
times unreasoning devotion of GER
tain type of mother to her favorite sou,
writer In Vogue expresses herself
presumably as follows:
Nothing ever devised brought more
unhappiness In Its train than the In.
excusable habit mothers have had from
time immemorial of idolizlng son
and sacrificing their own interests and
those of the daughters of the family
to him. This phase of maternal affec-
ton Is as hysterical and no more cred
table than those spasms of romantic
affection that impel the victims of 1t to
suicide and other absurd or harmless
goings on. Having heard all their
lives mother love exalted as the high
est attainable human sentiment (Which
It Is not, by the way, women naturally
assume that any variety of affection
they may display toward their off
spring is creditable. The daughters
may serve the mother in illness or
comfort or pleasure before their own
without securing for themselves In re-
turn q 1.-THE of the affection she law
ishes upon her ofttimes unworthy son.
In family councils. In the division of
property or in its conservation the dot
ing mother can be depended upon to
take the lying word Of the most unre
liable of sons above that Of the daugh-
tiers. whose loyalty has stood the strain
Of a lifetime of maternal injustice.
When the sons unworthiness can no
longer be ignored her plea Is. Give
him a chance" even though he at
tanned mans estate years before and
has persisted In his evil course not
withstanding numberless alluring op-
portunities to turn over q new leaf.
In the majority of instances the sons
life failure Is due to the unwlse meth
DDS of his love crazed mother. En-
couraged to crafty his desires and
fancies, the wholesome discipline Of
correction and restraint is hardly
known to him. Aided and abetted in
his lawlessness by his mother, the
baby and later the boy, defies author
ity and tramples on rights.

A SILVER BRIDGE.
Quaint Ceremony That Goes With a
Roumaninn wedding.

hounAhhh0 Woo&An&
At Roumanian weddings 1t Is the GUS
tom at the wedding feast for the
groom to receive his bride over a
bridge of silver.
Coins are placed in q double row
across the table and over this the
bride daintily steps to her husbands
waiting arms.
The ceremony Of laying the bridge is
one of the interesting events of the
wedding feast following the religious
ceremony. When the guests are
brought to proper spirit of festivity
by the good cheer at the board a space
at the head of the table is cleared and
from a bag are drawn silver coins pro-
cured for the purpose. the proper pro-
vision being the production Of coins
fresh from the mint.
These are laid In d double row across
the table, and when all is ready the
father Of the groom makes a speech to
his son, admonishing him to see that
bis brides way through life is always
paved with silver
A proper response is made, and,
mounting chair, the elder man swings
the bride lightly to the table. Carefully
avoiding the displacing OF coin (for
that would mean bad iuck) the girl
makes her way across the short silver
pathway and leaps into the arms of her
spouse.

is desired the bridge is built lengtbWise
