Arm and Chest Culture.

In performing that admirable physic-
al culture exercise, Homework, it is
frequently necessary to lift the arms
above the head, as in wiping dust from
walls, brackets, chandeliers and the top
Of picture frames. HSthing will do
more to develop a noble chest and
shapcly arms than Just this. When a
woman ties a cloth over a broom, then
lifts the broom above her head and
gives walls and ceiling Il vigorous rub
bling, she thereby lifts her whole mus
cular system. She thus raises muscles
that have sliddon down into ungraccful
prominence around the waist and pulls
them again into the place wh"1S ma
ture put them WHEN she was aNchild
and gave her thus Il full, fine chest
It really ought to be a privilege in
stead Of an irksome duty to perform
tasks that require using the hands Wig
orously while the arms are lifted above

Developing the Lower Limbs.

Few men and almost no women have
the full use of their lower limbs.
The legs are apt to be stiff and clumsy
with the best of us. To make them
strong, nimble and graceful housework
comes In as a beneicent agent, provtd-
ed he woman does not peg around her
kitchen and home wearing those nerve
racking, foot and leg destroying high
heels so commonly seen. They were
never made to walk upon-never-
though when a woman is dressed up
she rather likes the looks Of them.
STOPPING forward with the knees
rigid and the heels together strengthens
and linbers the muscles of the back Of
the leg throughout its whole length.
There are a few movements over which
every woman alive can spend two or
three minutes a day. One Of these is
standing upon the toes and moving the
heels rapidly up and down. This linn
bers the ankles and instep. Next stand
upon one leg while you shake the other
vigorously. Also swing the free leg
back and forth, then from side to side
as far as possible in front.
