strengthening Muscles.

Women of sedentary occupations are
allowing their muscles to become soft
through lack of physical exercise. A
good exercise for strengthening all the
muscles is as follows: Stand erect.
heels together. toes out, chest thrown
out. With arms extended touch the
toes with the tips Of the fingers, bend
ing the body only just below the waist
line. Continue the movement with
hands extended over the head; then
throw the body back as far as possible
and sway from one side to the other.
Exercise In this way for ten minutes,
then exercise each leg for five minutes
by throwing the foot out In front, at
the side and back. This exercise, II

THE SHY GIRL.
She Should Make an Effort to Con-
quer Her B~ashfuIness.

Quer Her baahfuineSs
The girl who knows herself to be
tongue tied, though she regret it, need
not despair Of popularity. Nobody is
socially more disagreeable and more
dreaded than a woman who talks too
much, monopolizing the conversation
and giving 40 n else a chance to
speak. People fly from this overgifted
and aggressive talker.
A mere chatterbox is equally dis
liked. A good listener is always sure
Of appreciation. If you a but mas
ter the fine art of listening to each
person with an air of deep interest,
just as If there were nobody else at
the moment in the wide world and as
If your greatest wish were to under
stand what the other is trying to tell
you, you will have the effect of talk
ing we'll.
All that is really necessary Is not to
let your attention wander and at the
right moment, in the right place, make
some brief rejoinder or affirmation.
You need never fear that you will be
thought too silent If you listen well
and say yes or no at proper intervals.
A good listener is never a bore, while a
great talker frequently gains that IN
happy distinction.
Girls are sometimes tongue tied be-
cause of Indifference. A bashful man
ner up to a certain point is attractive.
But when 1t has its root in a hamper
ing self consciousness which makes
Il awkward and clumsy or surly or
defiant it is a fatal handicap.-New
