with growing things, one will breathe just
30 much better. 1t is a little of the country
brought direct to town.
The best windows are those that open
inward. just such windows as are found
in old fashioned houses. Here one can
throw the castings wide open and lot a full
blast Of air enter the room.
The first task of the open window faddist
Ia that of learning how to breathe deeply.
What is deep breathing" asked some
one Of a physical culture teacher.
"IF you don't know, 1 don't said the
phv-,cal culturist, going on with his deep
treathing lessons.
II YOU don't know what deep breathing
is nobody can teach it to you. There are
some folks who can never learn it others
who pick it up by intuition.
The trick lies in taking in all the fresh
air you can at a single breath. Take it in as
quickly as possible, and expel it as slowly
as you can. This is deep breathing.
The advanced pupil will breathe deeply
all the time. She will learn the abdominal
breathing which the singers practise, and
every breath will fll her lungs chock full
OF fresh air. or course. she never gets
lung complaint, for the reason that her lungs
ere kept in good condition.
The open window exercises are four in
number. The first Is the good morning
exercise.
You 90 to the window, throw It wide open
and then throw up your hands. This is
called In one physical culture class the sun
exercise; others call in the Arabian exer-
else.
You throw up your hands toward the
rising sun, then you bend low, making
volr best bow to the world. Then you
straighten yourself up, and throw up your
hands, and then you bend low. sweeping
the floor with your finger tips, A very few
| minutes of this kind of exercise will do.
Theoretically, it is best to do these ex-
ercises before one is dressed, for they
require all the muscles. Actually, one
ia a little apt to catch cold. Advanced
p,,pils NAV take liberties with the sun and
air, but the beginner should 60 with cau-
ton.
knee on the window sill and extend your
hands. Take a deep breath and draw it in
quickly. Now eXpel it slowly. The slower
II is good exercise for the chest, but
don't tire yourself. Take as many deep
breaths as you can, say, about fifteen, bend
| ing out of the window SO as to get the full
amount OF fresh air. Then como back into
the room again.
You are ready for the third exercise
This is one that is To- much in vogue in
| London.
= The third exercise is the chair exercise
Take a light chair in your hands. lifting
| It by the back. Swing it this way and that
| way, taking care to use the muscles Of the
| whole body, The idea is to give you strength
and grace. The chair requires balancing,
and it also needs a little knack.
Work at it deliberately and slowly, and
| don't give up until you have lifted and
! swung It for fifteen minutes The beginner
can begin with five.
These exercises are for old people as
we'll as young. but the woman along In

herself for forty years she cannot expect

THE MODERN VI

The boxes got up by the florists and
mllliners for Easter were gorgeous and
~rivalled Solomon in all his glory with their
resplendent covers. Faster lilies, American
Beauty roses, violets, palms, rabbits, doves
and other decorations associated with
Easter appeared in the designs OF the paper
which covered the boxes, making these
~receptacles well worth preserving.
The manufacturers have brought out
% many receptions in the way OF fancy
bags and purses that one doesn't know
when she looks at a shopping bag whether
1t is really a receptacle for money and kin
dred articles or a camera or a makeup kit.
A further appeal to the instinct TO disguise
necessary but not always artistic articles
of feminine use is a pair of opera glasses
that are an admirable imitation OF a small
change purse.
In gray suede, or perhaps walrus skin,
they depend from a belt hook by an orna-
mental chain. The surface Of the bag is
covered with an ornate design In dull gold;
encrusted with jewels or perhaps a small
porcelain painting.
Press a button and the bottom drops
down. Turn a screw at the top ana the
glasses can be adjusted to the eyes.

American women have the worst skins
OF any nationality" was the criticism OF a
Swedish masseuse in the city not long ago.
They are not altogether to blame for this.
The climate has much to do with it. You
have such sudden changes in temperature
that IL ia quite impossible to preserve the
texture and quality Of the skin, which
naturally is good.
Then, too, American women use too
much paint and powder, which is bad for
the skin, and they let themselves grow
old because they won't take the trouble to
lave their skin treated. Constant atten-
tion is required, both in the matter of pro-
in order to keep the skin fresh and the
wrinkles away
Contrary to general belief, steaming
the face at least twice a week is good, as It
clears out the pores and cleanses much
the same as the Turkish bath does the body.

Since Mrs. Roswell D. Hitchcock announced
her determinat ton to set sail for Treasure
Island to aunt for gold buried there, she
has been receiving hundreds of letters
from women all over this country and
England begging to be allowed to GO with
her.
'IfIhad three secretaries working twenty
four hours a day it would be quite impossible
for me to reply to these requests said
Mrs. Hitchcock recently. Some are from
titled women in England, others from rich
Americans at home, while three-fourths

another.

way to tighten the skin and prepar re it for

The woman who is going to throw open
her window in the morning, rain or shine,
and is willing to exercise for an hour right
in the open, must know how to treat her
hair. She should give it the dry treatment
every night. Three nights a week will
really do, if one hasn't more time to devote
to it.
Take dry corn meal and grind 1t three
or four times until it is like powder. Scatter
a handful in the hair, letting it remain on
for ffteer minutes. Then brush it out
briskly.
The next morning, after the air has
blown through the hair, it will actually
shine. 1t will bloom. as they say in Paris.

There is a new beauty fad. 1t has trav-

IL called the open window fad.
The woman who takes 1t up must be pre-
pared for life in the open. She must be
provided with a window wide and suf1-
GENTLY high to permit her to raise her arms.
A small, low, narrow window will not do,
The window must look out upon the sky.
A window in a courtyard would not answer
the purpose.
The London women who follow the fad
try to have something growing on the
window ledge. They have a feeling that
it is equivalent to being in the country.
