KIND WORDS ALWAYS TIMELY

Good Cheer Were Used.

It Is often told that Eugene Field,
one day wandered into basement

his chin in his hands and gazed mood
lily into space. A waiter came to him
and after the manner Of his kind emu
merated the long list Of dishes that
were ready to be served.

Whether or not the incident be

words, and yet 1t is almost tragic TO
think how much happier and better

TRAINING RULES FOR YOUTHS
oId.FashIoned Movements suppIanted
by Program Of HygIsnle and
Corrective Exercises.

Notable among the achievements Of
the board Of education Of New York
city has been the introduction Of the
new course Of study In physical train
ing for boys. This supplants the old
fashioned one-two.three movements
with q consistent program of educa-
tional hygienic and corrective exer-
cises. New boylike athletic move
ments are brought into the gymna-
Sums and the boys engage In course
Of moderate athletic training, includ-
ling hygiene, which is the basis Of all
athletics. Thus natural enthusiasms
are utilized for constructive school
purposes.
The 10000 boys who assembled last
June In Central Park to exhibit physi-
cal training work were given the fol-
lowing set Of training rules:
Go to bed at nine o'clock after q
thorough wash and q cold splash over
chest and trunk; teeth and gums well
scrubbed. Clothes and books ready
for tomorrow.
Bedroom windows open top and bot
tom.
Rise not q minute later than seven
o'clock. Go through two-minute drill
and hygienic exercises for demonstra-
ton. Clean face and~neck and scrub
hands. Finish up with big cold
splash and hard rub all over. See
that feet and legs are clean and rub
them hard to get them into condi-
ton. Brush teeth and gums thor
oughly.
Breakfast and all meals:
No coffee. No tea. Drink milk, a
little at a time. Chew all foods to q
pulp. Ask your teacher what foods
to avoid.
No smoking. Cut out all habits you
know are bad.
Exercise in the fresh air, equivalent
to a slow mile run day. Walk ten
miles a week. II you lose weight you
lose vitality; stop work.
Before school look yourself over.
Am clean from head to toe? Are
all my clothes clean and in order down
to the skin? Do stand like an ath-
lete?"
The boy has no use for hygiene, but
he has for athletics, and the school
interested in hygiene makes use oil
this fact to gain Its end.

for his part, seemed rather inclined to
discourage them.
Hello" he said cordially, as he fol-
lowed his wife into the big reception
hall, where's Bob?"
Hes here" Jane answered. Il
couldn't get him started dressing. but
he'll be right down."
Brand looked toward the table and
the bottle in its silver casing.
"oh, / see," he said. "A little bracer
before the show, Ell? Bob's going too
strong to that stun. Jane. You'd bet
ter check him q bit"
II think so, too" she agreed, but I
don't want to dictate. He seems 80
nervous OF late and sometimes almost
queer"
81 know, but that isn't any good for
the nerves, or the nerves either. Check
him up q bit. ! -tell you he's hurting
himself and injurlng his chances. l
hear he lost quite q lot In the street
today. Oh, nothing serious" he added
quickly, as Jane looked up in alarm.
But don't like to see q man carry
ing a handicap. The race Is hard
enough as 1t is. like drop Of wine
with my dinner or after the show, but
let It 90 at that. Bob's hard work

why don't you speak to him about
TT" Jane asked.
IT did, but he cut me on as ] knew
he would. Bob wants my tips on the
market, but that's about all the advice
he requires from me nowadays"
Mrs. Brand stood patiently by won
dering II anyone was going to take any
notice Of her. She wished Bob would
hurry for she had never found that his
propensity for brandy affected his gal
lantry. To her way Of thinking young
Reynolds was an ideal husband. Not
quite SO imposing or important as her
own, perhaps, but 30 attentive and
thoughtful. Bob usually made himself
very agreeable to Mrs. Brand. Some
times he seemed extremely 30. But
Of course, that was only as it should
be. Il was his way with women and
II he seemed especially gracious to
the wife OF the man who had done 90
much for him, It was only natural.
Mrs. Brand. surveying James new
opera gown. spoke in tones Of appaF-
snt sincerity.

CHAPTER XVII.
PLAYING the Game.

Young Mrs. Reynolds lounges before
a log fire in the Reynolds new home.
A CHEEKY fire that casts bright rays
about. a scene OF comfort and ease.
Something of the Joy Of living seems
to have come into the life Of the Rey-
noldS. Why not? For Bob has taken
hand and is playing In the game.
Their house is In the fashionable north
shore suburb, not far from the
Brands. Less pretentious than their
benefactor's, for Bob Is a pupil and
Brand a past master Of the systems
ways. But year has passed and,
judging from appearances, young Rey-
nolds is doing very well. BY the light
from handsome electrolier he is
perusing the market page Of an eve
ming paper.
Bob, DEAR" his wife reminded him,
you must dress. The Brands will be
here any minute in their car"
He had laid down the paper and
looked at her.
Always their car" he answered,
petulantly. What's the matter with
ours"
Nothing, dear. but you know the
limousine is better. The nights are
getting cold. Besides, II we sit in
their box, why shouldn't we go over
with them?"
Sure, why not? Brands box
Brands car, Brands money. Why
not?"
Mrs. Reynolds lifted some folds Of
silk and lace and got up. She put q
bare soft arm around her husbands
neck and caressed his cheek.
"why, honey, you're almost cross to-
night. What's the matter. did you
have a bad day."
"Oh, not particularly. but why can't
we leave the Brands out Of It once in
q while? It's Brand this and Brand
that till 1t gets on my nerves."
well, DEAR" she replied, wen have
little party all our own tomorrow
night, but when we 60 to the opera
we can't ignore their box. You
wouldn't have me sit anywhere else
with this on, would your"
She courtesied and paraded before
him to show the bird in all its glory.
NO." he agreed, you are well
worth looking at and I'm sure l don't
want to hide you. But I wish ! had q
box Of my own. What are they sing
ing tonight?"
"Manon Lescaut."
Another Of those gruesome trag
edIes. Don't they ever have anything
pleasant in opera? Somebody's al
ways dying or stealing another mans
wife, or trying to and 1t gets tiresome;

He pressed q button.
'Frieda." he ordered, bring some
brandy and ice."
Il was the same but q transformed
Frieda. Flaxen braids are curled and
crimped and the Bingham apron is no
more. Dress, black and tight fitting

The surprising thing is that the
