In Paris the outdoor health club
movement has also taken strong hold
of women and girls, There, too, it prob
ably came about through artistic -rea-
sons. Parks, public squares and art
galleries in the French city abound in
groups of figures sculptured in the
nude, representing the human form as
nearly perfect as the artist can make
it. The contrast between these figures
and those of people actually living to-
day has at length produced its effect
on the French mind too, and a notable
feature of the new feminist awakening
in France is this same outdoor health

Not content with the amount of profit
made upon coffee, he places pals OF

that does not matter to him. So abb

of Brazilian coffee always stipulate
that the sacks of fresh Rio beans shall
never be carried on a steamer which
has raw hides as any part of her cargo.

Of coffee is that in a sickroom a hand

AS an all round outdoor exercise for
women, old and young, nothing is bet
ter than walking. not the slunging,
slow, lifeless gait in which so many
saunter along aimlessly, but the
quick. springy step upon the front part
of the foot head and chest up, lungs
free, as though you were going some
where and meant to get there. The
habit of rapid walking should be &C
quired, with a long, easy stride that
can cover miles without fatigue to the
walker It is a fact that few women
walk gracefully and an athletic young
man tells me that not more than one
girl in a thousand can run

the feet up and down briskly by rising
upon the toes and letting them partly
down again. Occasionally pause in
the midst of this exercise to give play

will feel running up from your feet
through the spine. Take this exercise
vigorously a few minutes each night
and morning. 1t has a remarkably
