Fencing Is always popular with
women who have the leisure and the
opportunity to go 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

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 OF
exercise for women 1t ranks with
swimming and rowing in that It gives
all the development needed without
making the muscles too heavy, as do
some of the other sports. For the

pie, it Is the ideal exercise. Those
women who are SO faithful to their
fencing lessons. have discovered that
brisk half hour with the folls Is
more effective In keeping their hg-
ures girlishly 1.-THE and slender than
half day spent at heavier and less

was an undoubted list downwards
from stern to bows, but knowing moth
ing of what had happened, concluded
some of the front compartments had
filed and weighed her down. 1 went
down again to put on warm clothing
and as l dressed heard an order
shouted.
"'All passengers on deck with life
belts on We all walked slowly up
with them tied on over our clothing,
but even then presumed this was a
wise precaution the captain was tax

short time and retire to bed. There

any disorder, panic or rush to the
boats and no scenes Of women sob

times; everyone seemed to realize so
slowly that there was imminent dan
ger.
