Save Your Eyes

The time-honored saying that we seldom
hold out possessions at their full value
until we are in danger of losing them is
never more true than when we refer to
the blessing OF good eyesight. 1t Is through
the avenue of sight that most impressions
reach our BRAIN and when we lose 1t we
are shut in the dark" cut off from our
fellows by a deprivation of which only the
totally blind can understand the magni-
tude. Our eyes are all important to US,
and should be guarded more carefully than
the most precious jewels that ever came
into mortal possession.
Yet how often we see girls doing their
best to ruin their eyes. They have often
heard that reading In trains and omni-
buses is one of the worst things that they
can do, but one cannot take the shortest
Journey without noticing that about four
women out of every ten are trying their
eyes by porting over some paper OF novel
cite, which is jerked aside every other
moment by the jar OF vibration OF the car.
Apart from the constant movement and
consequent change of focus for the eyes,
the light Is often very bad, and the head
aches Of which so many girls complain
are frequently due to eye strain from this
cause, and to nothing else.
1t is not while they are still in the TWEEN
ties that they are most likely to suffer for
their indiscretion, but wait awhile, and
nature will be revenged, says Home Notes
For every hour they have misused their
eyes, those faithful servants of theirs that
did their bidding for years so uncomplain-
ingly, they will pay a heavy toll, and the
falling sight" that is so often the trouble
of middle life will hamper their useful
ness and spoil their pleasure.

Exercise Waist Muscles to Keep Strong

However successful stays may be in CIV
ing a woman the correct figure now, she
must make provision for the future, for
II she is stout and flesh is compressed
under strong stays she later may find
that the compression may cause muscles
and cords to lose their natural elasticity
and power to hold the weight Of flesh. and
should this happen woman would rue
the day when fashion changes, as II al
ways does, and another shape is required
for her gowns.
To obviate such possibility exercising
IIui. without stays will do no harm, and
Perhaps may do a great deal OF good in
that It will keep the body in muscular
condition, and the more the muscles are
able TO do what Is required OF them the
better.
1t stands to reason that II they are never
used, and much OF the time are compressed
under tight stays, they will grow flabby,
and with woman OF middle age once this
happens It is almost impossible to over
come.
Ten minutes given in the morning to
muscular work. before putting on stays,
is certainly worth trying An excellent
movement Is to try to bend from the waist.
going low. while keeping the knees
straight. Under no circumstances ave the
knees TO bend. for then there is no work
done by the hips. Bending over front,
back and sidewise is limbering.
ANY woman who has seen skirt dancing
will understand that the beautiful posing
Of the dancer Is done entirely from the
waist line, and the flexibllity Of muscles
there enables the dancer 20 be graceful,
and at the same time IL keeps her slender.
All so-called kicking" Of professional
SKIRT dancers is done from the hips.
Women, unframed in physical culture do
not begin TO work the muscles and cords
about their hips and waist as much as
they should, and In that fact lies the cause
Of increasingly large figures as middle age
comes on.
II Is not well 10 try 10 bend from the
hips while wearing long stays, and indeed
such an effort may work harm by oOm-
