you are. wondering whether the dress
maker will have your theatre bodice
finished in time, or how many letters
you must write by noon tomorrow.
Women who work in offices, stores
or factories are especially liable to
colds because of the dust, draughts and
lack of ventilation. Deep breathing IS
the best preventive of cold known. and
any girl can practice this behind the
counter or desk without attracting at
tention. If You feel a cold coming on
try this simple exercise when retiring
rising or when you have a minute to
yourself in the cloak room at the store
II the left nostril seems to be obstruct-
ed, swing your right arm above the
head and down until the middle finger
of your right hand presses against the
left nostril. Then breathe through the
other nostril in short, puffy breaths.
and finally still using the breathing
exercises. bend from one side to the
other. After doing this five times,
swing the left arm over the head and
down until the middle finger of that
hand touches the right nostril. and re-
verse the entire exercise. This is a
more simple cure than drugs and in
finitely more palatable and certain.

is also an excellent reducer for the
waist measurement The woman who
works all day must select her exer-
cises night and morning and her
amusements after working hours. with
a view TO resting tired muscles and
exercising those which have not been
used during the days routine.
Girls who engage in sedentary occu-
pations, such as typewriting, copying,
ETC., need vitalizing exercises. They
should sand erect 10 start up the cir
culatlon and smooth out the creaSes in
flesh and muscles which have sagged
while they have occupied a. sitting po-
sition. The first exercises should reach
the cramped muscles of the neck, such
as swinging the head slowly forward
and back, from right to left, with
bending motion, then turning sharply
from side to side until the cords of the
neck stand out. Next take an exercise
to straighten the back, which has been
bent all day over desk or table. Clasp
the hands behind the back, al full
length, palms together, inhale a deep
breath and stiffen the arms tensely.
Exhale through the nose and allow the
muscles of the arms to relax. Repeat
about five times. The next day add
this exercise: Clasp the hands high
above the head, and holding them
there, swing the body from right TO
left, then from left to right. This viii
also reduce the waist measurement
If the muscles of the abdomen feel
crdmped. try a bending exercise, but
start this gradually. Stand erect, with
the hands stra; ght over the head. palms
forward and fingers close together.
Now, very slowly, bend forward at the
waist, going down as far as you can
with the arms stiffened at the elbow
and the knees also stiff. At first you
will not touch the floor but in time
your finger tips will meet your toes.
To this exercise. Lillian Russell. q
beauty at so, gives credit for much OF
her agility. Do not strain when doing
this exercise. take it easily, gracefully,
rather than tensely, with one sweeping
bend the first night, two the second
and so on until you make ten move
ments without resting.
The girl who has been on her feet
all day, as a. model or saleswonan,
needs not vitalizing, but relaxat- on.
For her there is nothing better than
the Indian woman's method of resting
in a crouching position. Loosen all
your clothing and get down on the
floor on elbows and knees, with face
downward, and your face between your
arms, your eyes closed. This will go
far to rest and relieve the internal Or
gans strained by the long day on your
feet. If the crouching attitude tires
YOU try walking across the floor on
your hands and knees. Also stretch,
face downward, on the floor and slow
ly raise yourself on elbows and toes,
with spine absolutely straight. Get a
bench or stool, and sitting down upon
it, swing the body from side to side
from the waist up. This will bring the
muscles of the waist into action with
out extra, fatigue. Most important Of
all in doing any Of these exercises IS
to get the mind into a restful, relaxed
condition Forget the thought Of your
work Put it completely out Of your
mind and take hold of the thought Of
rest and relaxation. Don't expect TO
secure results from these exercises If

Then she 'fessed up about the eXer

women don't kill yourselves with your
spasms Of physical culture. If you had
done that exercise twice at the begin

it might not have done any harm, but
you do not seem to understand that
you cannot become an acrobat in ten
days; at least, not when you are 40
years instead Of 20 months old"
This single anecdote illustrates the
dangers of abnormal physical culture,
unthinking physical culture. I could
cite a dozen mora. Never undertake
an elaborate course of physical culture
without consulting your physician, and
then work under a. skilled instructor.
There is just as much danger from
entertaining as from understanding,
