LEARN HOW no BREATHE DEEP.
La, RHYTHMICALLY.
(By Abigail Moore.)

(By Abigail Moore.)
The first step to grace, according to
the beautiful dancer Princess Istar is
what do YOU think? To learn to
breathe properly, just as it is the first
step to health.
Breathing explains the princess,
lis naturally an accompaniment Of
motion, and, therefore, correct breath
Ing must so hand in hand with har-
monious motion. The very act Of
breathing increases the 'life.' the
buoyancy. and correspondingly lessons
the effect of exertion. 1t u.s." she goes
on to explain, "a mistake to rely sole
ly upon conscious breathing. Rather,
breathing exercises should be made a
regular feature of the days routine"
Here are the exercises she follows reg

Repeat, not forgetting to continue
the pushing downward with the palms.
and pausing for a measure between
civilizations and inhalations.
BE seated, and, concentrating
thought upon different parts of the
body. try to send the breath to those
parts.
Remember the power of suggestion
is very strong, and. let me assure you
that not only do these breathing ex-
ercises' simple as they are. bring
about Il deal Of physical benefit. but
they act as a rccharge to the mind.
Persist in their practice. and you will
find yourself gradually able to think
more clearly and concisely, better able
to concentrate. and better able to
stand strain upon mental or physical
powers.

Improving the Shoulders by Simple
Methods.
(By Abigail Moore.)
shoulders respond to care and
treatment as readily as any other fea-
turc. and. in these days of low.neck
gowns it is. doubly worth While to
improve them.
If there are hollows just where the
shoulders join the body. perhaps 1t
is because the shoulders are allowed
to droop forward, and If SO, obviously
the thing to do is to thrust up the
chest. which will automatically cause
the shoulders to the position
nature intended. them to occupy. If
the hollow persists, then try massage
with cocoa butter or a heavy skin
food. Massage also along the line Of
the neck in order to effect a graceful
slope from the line Of the neck to
the shoulders.
An incorrect roise Of the head is
another cause of unsainly shoulders.
II the head is thrust forward. the
shoulders are pretty apt to protrude
toward the front. leaving an ugly de-
preston at either side of the neck.
II the head is poised stiffly or
dropped from the top of the throat as
is a very m way, it is probable

Who knows not the use of htc chisen.
Nor the dizziness of eye or of hand

There are painters who never touch

Musicians who ever arc still.
Who have not the Gift of expression.
Lack adequate training and skill.
There are men with the dreams If

Who arc known unto fame.
Whose spirits arc filed with n music
And beauty they never can name.
There are orators doomed to be silent.
And singers who never are heard;
There are actors untried and unnoted,
Who with the grand passions are

There are millions who struggle un.

In the inncrmost realms Of the

Somewhere in the regions of bliss.

Grandfather Frog actually had
started out to see the Great World.
Yes. sir. he had turned his back on
the Smiling Pool, and nothing that
Jerry. Muskrat could say made the
least bit Of difference. Jerry had told
him that he was foolish; that he was
too old to so IL into the great
world but he had made up his mind,

what this Great World was that his
cousin, old MIR. Toad, talked so much
about and said was so much better

here and that jump took him right
out where anybody passing could see

in the world Of really hurting Grand

father Frog.
Grandfather Frog kept perfectly
still until he was sure tina Bowser
was nowhere near. Then III gave a
great sigh of relief and crawled under
a big mullen leaf to rest and think
things Yer
"Chugarum. that was a terrible cx-
perience: it was indeed" said he to
himself shiverinG at the very thought
of what he had been through. "Noth-

that the Smiling Pool is Il better place
in which to live than out in the Great

jumps he started out on. to the Green
Meadows. II guess he isn't any
smarter than 1 am. He isn't as spry
as ] am and 1 can jump three times
myself what this Great World is like.
and then I'll SO back to the Smiling
Pool and stay there the rest of my
llfe. Chugarum, how warm it is"
II was warm. jolly, round. red Mr..
Sun was smiling his broadcast and
pouring his warlnest rays down on
the Green Meadows. The Merry Little
Breezcs of Old Mother West Wind
were taking a nap. You zee. they had
played so hard early in the morning
that they. were tired. Sc there was
nobody and nothing to cool Grand
father Frog. and he just grew warm
err aud warmer with every jump. He
began to grow thirsty. and lie did long
for a plunge in dear. cool Smiling
Pool! But he was stubborn. He
wouldn't turn back no matter how
uncomfortable he felt. He would see
the Great World If it killed him. So
he kept right on, jump, jump, jump,
jump.
Now. Grandfather Frog had been
up the Laughing Brook and down the
laughing Brook, where he could
swim when lie glsvs tired of travelling
on the bank and where he could cool
off, whenever he became too warm.
but never before had be been very
far away from water. and he found
this a very different matter. At first
he had made great Jumps. for that is
what his long legs were given him for,
but the long grass bothered him.
after a little the Jumps grew shorter
and shorter and shorter. and with
every jump he pulled and puffed and
presently began to grunt. You see. he
never before had made more. than a
few. jumps at a time without resting.
and his legs were not used to it. So
they grew tired in a very little while.
Now IL Grandfather Frog had
known as much about the Green
Meadows as the little people who live

going was easy. But he didn't. He
just started right out without know

1t was during one of these rests that
he heard footsteps and then a dread
full sound that made cold chilis run

Frog f1attcned himself down as close
to the ground as he could get. But it
was of no use-no use at all. The
