grace in grace. love in love, and beauty
in beauty, God will still send poets to
find them, and bear witness of them,
and to hang their ideal portraitures

BEST EXERCISE FOR WOMEN

Fencing is always popular with
women who have the leisure and the
opportunity to 60 through with the
required training, and lately it has be-
come even more the fashion with
women prominent in society. Even
during the summer, while they were
away at their country or seaside
homes, many women kept UP their
fencing lessons, having the instruc-
tor come to their homes for the pur-
pose.
All experts in physical training rate
fencing as the best possible means CT
exercise for women. II ranks with
swimming and rowing in that 1t gives
all the development needed without
making the muscles too heavy, as do
some of the other sports. For the
woman of today who longs above
everything else TO be slender ana sup

women who are go faithful to their
fencing lessons have discovered that
a brisk half hour with the foils is

How many words does the ordinary
child know? Fifty? Wrong A hun
dred? Wrong again. Five hundred,
for a wild guess? A little nearer, but
not much. The truth Is that people
underestimate the number Of words
their children can speak.
Take q paper and pencil, follow the
child for several days. several weeks,
putting down every new word that is
uttered. You'll find out somb things
that will surprise you. And yhen the
word Child" is used. 1t does rot refer
TO boy or girl of seven or Sight. but
one of three.
An investigation recently made by
following child at that age and not
ing every word that was rses. showed
that it had memorized LII different
words. They covered practically
everything with which the child came
In contact, aud were words the child
had never heard before.
Another investigation OF words used
by children between l year and 10
months old showed that the lowest vo.
cabulary that was reported included
the use OF 60 words. The highest was
232 words. From two years on, the
vocabulary of child increases rapid.
ly, until at three years the average
child has vocabulary Of at least 1000
words.
