BEAUTY CHATS
BREATHING AND BEiAUTY

Sometimes I really despair of max ing my readers understand Just how vitally important it is that they should practice deep and scientific breathing while exercising. Goodness knows have preached it often enough but 1t simply seems to take no effect.
 For instance, note the exercise illus trated. Of how much real value is it unless proper breathing is used 2sWhen the arms are thrown forward and out, one should inha19 deeply, and hold that breath for second. As the arms are brought together again in a posi- tion of relaxation, one should exhale e deeply and deliberately.
 In winter the temptation is to do without sufficient airsi rather than to risk being a little chilly. Needless to say, any exercise performed in the fresh air is a benefit. and one runs no risk of catching cold.
 The secret of it all is-oxygen. Oxygen builds up the ungainly figure, brings roses to the cheeks and sootheS the tired nerves
 To take this up in detail, will de- scribe some abdorninal breathing ex- ercises. First, stand erect. This means. chest out and abdomen in. Now place the hands on the hips with the thumbs pointing forwards and the elbows held closely to the sides. Now breathe deepay-but notice this. you TuIISt breathe from the O1aQQEdS1n, mt f11sius.s the muscles of the upper chest at all. As soon as you have taken a. deep breath, with the daa-- phrazm expanded. count ten slowly, then exha1e slowly. Do this about six times at first. and more times as you can.
 Here Is another splendid exercise Notice how simple these are Their value lies in how they are perform ed. Stand erect again. Raise arms at sides, elbows stiff and palms out wards As you raise the arms breathe in. As the palms touch overhead, count five with them in this position and then lower them, exhaling deeply
 To develop the chest, touch the palms together in front with the arms straight out in. front of you. of course. Now push them back of you, breath ing in Hold them there moment, then bring them back to the original position, exha1ing.
 If you do not believe in the efficacy of this treatment, give me the benefit of the doubt and seesss yg szs5s 9.sSx

Oft In The Silly Night.

 The smiles, the tears,
 Of boyhood's years. The words of love then spoken; The eyes that shone,
 Now dimmed and hone, The cheerful hearts now broken, Thus in the stil1y night, Ere s1umber's chain has bound me- Sad memory brings the light Of other days around me When I remember all The friends so linked together, I've seen around me fall, Like leaves in wintry weather. feel like one
 Who treads alone Some banquet hall deserted,
 Whose lights are fled, Whose gar1ands dead, And all but he departed; Thus in the Stilly night, Ere slumber's chain has bound me, Sad memory brings the light Of other days around me-

A Woman's Intemperance Was New

He found that the lips which could smile so sweetly could utter bitter, scathing words as we'll He wanted his way. She was determined to have hers. She declared smoke stif1ed her and ruined her complexion. If he per- sisted in maintaining his bachelor habits he could have his part of the house-and she would have hers. She did not approve of some of the young men he chummed with when he was single. She insisted that they should be black-listed from the guests he in- tended to invite to meet her She wanted their intimacy to cease. He found quite much fault with her class of friends.
