apt to be favorable than the little close

more? Think of making fun of the critic!
Are audiences to be permitted TO SUI

WHY HE WROTE IT.-Eugene w.
Presbrey, the dramatist, upon being ask

Man replied as follows:
You know that psyche means soul.
don't you?
DO YOU believe that you have one?
Does it make any difference to YOU
whether you have or not?
What would you do if you met that
soul face to face?
Do you ever feel that there is higher
law inside of YOU than any that is out
side?
You know YOU are not wholly good,
not wholly bad Do you think that any
body else is

is unique. 1t consists Simply in rolling
on the floor as d child rolls on the grass.
Sounds rather queer doesn't it, she
said recently, but, matter of fact, |
attribute most of my success in preserv
ing proper proportions and my muscular
development to rolling.
1T is a very simple thing TO do. For
years / have practiced it, and i con-
slider il almost good exercise AS
swimming. II woman desires SYM
metry, health and beauty she should
roll.
Here is the way it is done: Attire
yourself in some sort of light clothne-a
kimono any sort of loose wrap-then
lie fiat on Your back on the floor. The
fist thing to do is 10 relax ali Your
muscles. Relaxing is d marvelus thing.
] cannot explain it because there is too
much detail in it, but in a general way
YOU must try TO make yourself believe
that you are very heavy, that you are
sinking through the floor. While you are
thinking this you must relax all your
muscles.
After relaxing the rolling begins. In
doing that you simply roll about on the
floor, a. children do. Keep 1t up long
as possible You will find ii rather vio
lent exercise. but you will also find il
reduces weight with wonderful rapidly.
Don't roll much at first. lust keep in
creasing the number of times you roll
over until you are able to turn about 100
times.
There is one thing that j wish to inn
press upon the person who attempts this
or other exercise with view of either
developing her muscles or reducing flesh.
