Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-05

A ND now the Modern Maid,
~ in addition TO all her other ac-
complishments. esthetic and ath-
letic is learning to box
The very words of the announcement
are enough to make all the old ladies
OF the last generation hold up their
hands in holy horror and ask patheti-
cally. What next?"
Well, the modern maid swims and
rows and rides; she plays golf and ten
mis- and basket ball; and she has been
known even to take a hand, or rather
a bar, at cricket CBut 1t must be con-
fessed that this latter event is more
likely to take place in conservative
England than It is on this side of the
Atlantic)
At fencing she is the equal Of
many and the superior Of most Of the
men she encounters in her daily life.
and in the Independent career that she
has mapped out for herself, wise indeed
is the girl who includes the art Of
self-defense in her curriculum Her
mother may object and adduce the plea
that boxing is anything but feminine
accomplishment, even advance that it
IS decidedly unwomanly
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-05

is unduly lacking in flesh there will
the padded gloves add a most graceful
and gracious padding OF flesh. What
more could the heart of woman de-
sire?
| But there is one word of caution to
be voiced and that must be said with
emphasis. Boxing is no sport, no pleas
ure for any girl who has any weak
ness organic weakness of the heart,
She should first consult her physician
and get his unqualified consent, but
that gained she may go merrily on her
way to beauty via the boxing gloves.
The gloves can be selected at some
reliable sporting good store-four ounce
gloves will be amply heavy for begin
ners. These are usually of a heavy
grade of kid, so that they will stand
the racket, and well stuffed with curled
hair, just the same as n mattress, so
that there is no serious injury inflicted
in swinging a blow with them.
Now the very first thing to learn in
boxing is-seems queer doesn't it?-
how to stand on your feet! Unless you
can stand so that your body is per-
fectly balanced you cannot possibly
become a graceful boxer. This point
should be given fully as much and as
serious attention as the questions Of
attack and defense; and no one can
hope to become a proficient boxer II
he or she maintains a faulty attitude
Of the body, and especially Of the feet
and legs.
The extremely graceful carriage of
professional boxers-and their athletic
costume of tights and sleeveless
sweater or jersey shows off every line
Of their physique to advantage-is al
most proverbial; and TO such science
have they pushed this matter Of body
balance and correct attitude that the
man Who is quick upon his feet and
quick in his body movements will often
Los Angeles herald., 1905-02-05

But every father Of girls will applaud
the desire to learn TO box, and the more
strenuously win he do so If he has
ever had on the gloves himself with a
worthy opponent, And the better
boxer he is himself the more enthusi-
astic viii he wax to have his daughter
become one, too.
From time TO time one reads in the
newspapers Of some girl finding herself
annoyed or in danger from tramps or
other Objectionable masculine atten-
tions, putting her would-be prosecutor
"out of business" by a well-directed
blow. Almost invariably it viii de-
velop that she has brothers with whom
she puts on the gloves regularly,
and the item always winds up with a
few words from the heroine of the mo-
ment anent the benefits to be derived
from a knowledge OF self-defense.
