"The ladies' average was 7l-34s, and

THAT MOST ADVANCED PERSON. THE MODERN
WOMAN, CHOOSES FOR HER. PASTIME ARCHERY.
THE MOST LADYLIKE OF SPORTS"

archery has advantages over many
smusements which render it specially
suitable for ladies. No hurried move
ments or violent exertion; no ungrace-
full attitude or contortions are neces-
ssry; it need never be anything but
quiet, graceful and ladylike.
"And, also, there is no restriction as
TO age. Young, middle-aged and old
can all shoot in some form or other if
they have bows suited to their strength.
For delicate or growing girls it is a
most healthy. exercise, 1t takes them
out in the fresh air; they must hold
themselves upright; their chests are
expanded in drawing up, and their
backs greatly strengthened.
Even the Very Old Can Shoot.
Even quite old ladies can shoot, and
shoot well, too. In fact, as long as one
possesses an eye, two arms, fair
number of fingers and one leg to stand
upon, one can shoot. Though a
woman's infrmites may prevent her
from becoming very proficient, still
she can always snqOt, enough for her
own enjoyment, and it must be de-
lightful to feel that she can still be an
archer, though the pleasures of tennis,
golf and other very active sports may
long since have been over for her.
"A great point gained is to have
good teaching at first. Always correct
a fault at once. If you find you are
drawing up csrelessly and uncomfort-
ably, or that you are .straining your
muscles, lower your bow and draw up
sgain; it requires great patience to do
this often, but what is worth doing at
all is worth doing we'll, so do not give
up because Of the difficulties"
As a pure sport archery sntedstes
cricket, golf, tennis and the various
games of ball by many years. In Eng
land it is especially popular, and in
several of the Continental countries of
Europe archery meets are as fashion
able and even more general than they
were in the time Of Queen Elizabeth.
In the United States archery has
had its devoted followers for more
than thirty years, and is now the new
est among popular athletic sports for
women. No greater proof Of this can
be found than the fact that nearly all
women's colleges are teaching girls
how TO wing other arrows than those
supplied by Cupid. Not only Western
universities, but such Eastern colleges
as Vassar, Goucher, Smith, Wellesley,
Bryn Mawr and 0gontz Seminary, have
instructors in this pastime Of Europe's
ancient nobility, Wellesley setting the
load.

for later in August there will be an
interesting archery meet between the
Merton Cricket Club. of Philadelphia,

A Muse Too Classic for Men.
Archery is not sport that has
hitherto appealed to the public in gen

gliding through the air of the arrow
and the thud when it strikes the tar
get has been music too classic fer the
ordinary sport-loving American, and We
find, since the days when firearms sup
planted the bow as the weapon OF war

largely in the sport of nobility. For
this reason the large majority of the
men and women who are its devotees
