Physical Exercise
In the pllmiest days of Greece had so
much To do with making the splendid
beauty Of form. strength OF mind and fine
ness of taste that the physical well may be
said to have been the foundation upon
which all else was built, or rather the
means by which all else became possible.
One whose muscles always have been
fiabby and weak can have no realization of
the exhilaraton and power which come
with a consciousness of frmness and
strength in the bodily muscles Even five
minutes several times day seems difficult
to many debilitated persons when given to
regular physical culture, but if five min
utes are persisted in, no matter how wear
ily for few days soon ten minutes can
be given more easily than could hVe at
first
Those who have advanced beyond weeks
and into months of exercise are likely TO
feel such d pleasant, invigorating and ex-
hilarating glow in the exercise that for
comfort and joy they continue the move
ments for years Added to new sense OF
delight in power and in living, improved
personal appearance naturally results and
is no unimpOrtant gain.
II you think the effort too much, the regu-
larity too taxing. and If, rather than go
through the physical exercises you prefer
WEAKNESS and invalidism, there is free
choice in the matter. But better make up
your mind to give the physical pracuce
fair trial. Nature is ready to reward EFFORT
and to punish the failure to make it. Choose
the brighter course while yet you have
force and will. They will grow by using,

This cold sponge bath is a great aid in
the strife for new vigor, and in time be-
comes a real source OF enjoyment. almost

assist on any good thrown In her way.

well or healthy nor are our compilations
seen at their best save when the body has
been refreshed by healthy sleep. But like
all things, this can be abused.
1t is quite as necessary to sleep we'll as
to eat and drink, for during sleep the
whole organization is renovated and the
nervous system is enjoying healthful re-
pose.
Rest is good. but rest without Sleep with
its insensibilty to all surrounding condi-
tons, would not restore US after the labors
and excitements of the day.
Nature asserts itself. When We are tired
out the muscles relax, the eyes grow
heavy. and the blood flows languidly
through the lungs; our thoughts become
confused In a healthy subject fresh air,
active exercise and full life make sleep
come easy. But the more regular our sleep
the more conducive to health and good
looks. If we do not have enough We be-
too much our bodily and mental powers be-
come benumbed. Children and old people
need more sleep. but the average person
needs about eight hours.
Above all things, that the bed room
is properly ventilated. The window left
open an inch at the top will do wonders to-
ward keeping the air pure. for the foul air
thus escapes. Too cold room is as bad
must remember that digestion Is slower
while we sleep; the heart beats less vigor-
ously; We breathe more deeply.
But granted that all the conditions Of
healthy sleep have been insured and that
we wake up refreshed. we should do all we
can to bring our complexion and our ap-
pearance generally to its utmost perfection
during these hours Of rest. Having
washed the face the last thing with luke
warm water. with little oatmeal in it,
rub on the face some skin food or emollient
cream, and having administered 1t with a
little massage. rub off with soft rag. In
this way you are turning the resting
hours to account and nourishing the skin.
Happy are the people who have pursued
this plan from early YOUTH for they will
retain a soft skin to old age.
One thing cannot be too strongly urged.
Do not keep the mouth open during sleep.
1t Is the cause of much bad health, and 1t
is detrimental to the complexion. The nose
breathing exercises obviate this
Every one should learn simple breathing
exercises. No one should take too much
out of their nervous system, but this Is
one of the faults of the age. Therefore 1t
is all the more necessary to have plenty of
restful sleep and leave our best friend, ma
ture, to recuperate US In her own way, we

For dessert have ice cream and cake and
candy, and be sure, last Of all, to pass
around fancy notices with prizes as they
are dear to children's hearts. You might

The little maids all in row may also be
the assistants. Simple Simon and the pie
man are of course to sell the cakes and
confectionery, and an attractive feature
may be the Three Little Kittens, who go
about peddling paper mittens with various
contents as a kind Of grabbing novelty. At
the Bo-Peep booth the fancy woods and
knitted and worked goods may be sold, ana
Bo-Peep herself may be the saleslady.
An idea that l heard was carried out at
such a festival for the children's benefit
was to have a Mother Goose herself give
a side show and introduce all her charac-
tiers and exhibit them. The tableaux should
show the search of the kittens for their
mittens. the adventures Of the Queen of
Hearts, the old woman with her hen, and
other familiar characters.

find some appropriate music in ,'The Bohe-

and sandwiches. hard-boiled eggs, cake and
fruit, such as you would make up for a
picnic lunch would do for the refreshment.
You might have a tent set up and have

pictures, fortune telling, palm reading.

Somewhat
Difficult 10 engineer is chldren's party
without dancing. unless you have the ex-
element of a contest, entertainment or a
candy pull. Children enjoy the latter above
everything else. If you prefer the former
here are some suggestions: Provide a con-
test of different games played at several
tables ard do not let the contest endure
long enough to drag. If all the small peo-
pie are old enough to read, have such
games as authors. old maid. letter game,
dominoes. etc. Have the partners change
each time. and the winners change tables
as in any progressive game. Have prizes
for the successful ones. and consolation
prizes of books and prettily framed photo
graphs of good pictures and places. After
this sitting down game have one more &C
tive. A peanut hunt is always popular. es-
pecially If some of the nuts are wrapped in
colored tissue paper and put in places par
ticularly hard to find.
Games like hide a ring. a thmble a 10
cent piece are lots of fun.
The finders will be sure to wed early to
die in single blessedness and to have in
store plenty of riches. Other amusing
games are where a number of absurd ques-
lions written on set of slips of
paper, answers equally RIDICULOUS on an
other set. The boys have the answers and
the girls the questions. A girl reads a
question. the boy by her an answer, and
the result is apt to be merriment. An
other game sure to meet with approval is
that every one forfets peanut every time
he or she says yes" or mo- in answer to
a question, the person who has caused the
answer getting the peanut.
For refreshments use the small tables
which were in use in the games and have
some amusing device for the children to
find their partners and their places. One
table may be blue, and two of the children

The First Tooth Brushes.

From the Spatula.
Colonial diaries and letters make it plain
that our unfortunate ancestors suffered
much from jumping toothaches swelled
faces and the early loss Of forcible extrac-
ton of teeth which at a later period might
have been saved to render their owners
many years Of further service. No wonder.
says the Youths Companion, since the care
Of the teeth was little understood, and that
little often but negligently practiced.
Toothpicks were known; the tooth brush
was not, although rough substitutes were
employed, made of fiattened sticks. split
and pounded at one end to stiff, fibrous
fringe. Tooth brushes. when first intro
duced, were regarded as by no means i'm
portant accessories to the toilet but rather
as minor luxuries. and suitable for women
only.
The diary Of London merchant trading
to the colonies has this entry: Bought
tooth brush for my wife. which. used to-

Cloths are now considered handsomer
than any piece goods. They come in the
double damask from the eight-quarter size
to eight yards long for banquet table.
Many are hemstitched. with a border to

a dozen seven-eighths napkins to match,

breakfast use and the smaller fringed or

Round table cloths are considered a nov
city as yet. They come in sizes from 1OSx90

in diameter for an afternoon tea table.

A pretty idea for the Jelly is to use or

jelly in these, having the dish when passed
look like dish Of fruit. Have the whipped

If you do not wish the salad you could
have hot dish, like scalloped crab or lobs-
ter served In individual dishes: or you
could have jellied chicken and sandwiches
The chicken Is pretty If made in individual
molds, using hard boiled eggs in the molds
so that the slices of egg are on top when
the mold Is turned out.
When entertaining eight guests In the
evening a good repast would be bouillon

chocolate cake with chocolate sauce and
whipped cream. If you have trouble in
procuring fish you can use canned lobster
