ing into clothing and shoes. and II a
girl really wants to be fit she must

II am really a~stounded at the irreg-
ular habits of eating which I so gen.
orally find among girls. There Is al

II one should count the o which
the ordinary girl consumes during the
curse Of a day-candy, fancy sand
witches, ice creams and ices-the total
would be astounding. 1t Is not the
quantity at any one time but the con-
tinuity which makes the great sum.
This excessive eating Is certainly not
stimulating either to the body or the
brain.
There Is no natural reason why
American girls should not generally,
instead Of only in particular cases. be
the leading s~portswomen and athletes
of the world. They seem to be adapted
to sport, to have the nerve and quick
ness necessary In every competitive
game. So many foreign girls are
reared with the thought that 1t is un-
maidenly to 90 into sport with all the
ardor Of a boy, but that spirit Is not
present in the United States. Every
possible natural advantage exists.
II do, however, recognize one great
obstacle in America to sport among
women, and that is the element Of
snobbishness. There is far too much
to the social side Of sport. BY this

am going to play until the state OF
my funds compels me to start earn
ing money again.
"I think Every girl should work:
we all do in Norway. 1t Is a disgrace
to be idle. I cannot conceive of myself
being idle, and 1t Is not because my
father could not very easily support
me IL I chose to let him. But that Is
our way.
Imagine my surprise when I was
privately told by a friend that ] had
best conceal my profession and the
fact that / like to earn money for
myself. She told me that the other
girls would think 1t very strange in
deed and that I might find my position
rather awkward. / at once took the
stand hat I did not care to know any
one who was so silly as to imagine
that a girl was less a girl merely be-
cause she worked. I can say that 1
have not had the least trouble, but /
can easily see that an American girl
might not be SO we'll treated as / have
been. And then my playing may have
had something to do with 1t.
81 sincerely detest this sort Of snob-
berry; II is very mean and very petty.
But 1t is all about us and undoubtedly
keeps down sport. I understand that
there are far more girls playing games
now than a few years ago, but still l
cannot say that your women go in for
sport.
And the girls who do play are so
likely to play but one game. Exercise
is only valuable as an aid to develop
ment; proficiency is merely a pleasing
incident. An all around efficiency cam
not be had from participation in one
sort of sport. The result is a lop-
~sidedness which Is far from attractive.
I advocate every kind of game for
every girl: let her play and do as
many different things as her pocket
book will permit.

1t might be supposed from these
facts that the champion is a serious
minded young woman Of high brow
tendencies. on the contrary, she Is
a charmingly natural girl, who plays
and talks with sincerity and abandon.
She is anything but self-assertive.
American girls do not get nearly
enough fresh air. A few play In the
open too much and the others not at
all. So many girls are afraid Of their
compilations and stay out OF the sun.
whereas II they were more careful In
other matters and less afraid of the
sun their skins would be much health
Ter and fresher looking.
Because Of the yearning for a lily
white complexion. the number Of girls
left for outdoor sport is pitiably small,
when one considers how many might
play. And those who do go in for
sport are apt to specialize in n
game to the exclusion Of all others.
They play this n game too much
and do not achieve an all around
development. I am told that Ameri-
can men also specialize, but certainly
this Is not the method to insure gen.
eral health.
my system is to get all the fresh

attention is given to the development
of the chest and lungs.
There is no class distinction in this
exercise; everybody takes part. The
working girls spend many Of their
evenings in play. And every girl
knows how to walk long and hard.
1T is a common thing Tor girls to
spend the week ends N walking tours.
We form parties, take a few bits OF
clothing in packs on our backs and
set out over the hills for a couple
Of days. 1t is harder to get out OF
New York for such trips, but there
are still plenty of places within easy
reach-take the Palisades. for in

And then I think many American
girls sleep too much and too irreg-
ularly. One night they will have ten
or twelve hours of sleep and the next
night only two or three hours. / do
not believe in much sleep. ! never
go to bed until ! can no longer keep
my eyes open, and ! have always
found that a great mount OF sleep
makes a girl dull and heavy. The
traditional eight hours Is far too
much for the normal constitution.
Naturally a day laborer needs more
sleep than a girl who spends the day
in an office, but l am firmly on
WINGED that a great amount OF sleep
makes a dull mind.
1T is useless to attempt to exercise
or In fact to do anything in tight
clothing. Many girls will even at
tempt to swim in the highest dress
they can wiggle into. ! have noticed
that so often here and 1t is different
from our custom. A wide skirt Is so
much freer than a tight one. Many
girls here absolutely ruin their health
in an attempt to gain a decided waist
line-they even try to play games in
such outfits. Then shoes, especially
for sport, ought to have comfortable
fiat soles and heels. To me there is

Miss Bjurstedt delivering
backhand stroke.

"a 1ATCRE is very bountiful to
M the average American girl;
nature starts her with a
SPLENDID constitution and
she then proceeds to do what she can
to overcome the initial advantage. She
has the making Of the best athlete in
the world-strength and nervous en-
ergy which foreign girls so often lack"
These are among the interesting OBJ
s%ervations Of Miss Molla Bjurstedt,
the young Norwegian girl who has
progressed from tennis championship
to tennis championship during her few
months in the United States. She
entered the women's indoor champion
ship urname in March, played
through the preliminaries without
losing a set, and then defeated Miss
Marie Wagner for the championship.
Miss Wagner had been the title holder
for four years.
Then the fever of play gripped her
and she successfully won the titles at
the Hamilton Grange Club and at the
West Side Tennis Club and passed on
to a victory in the Metropolitan cham
pionship, in which she defeated Mrs.
Marshall Mclean and Mrs. Barger
Wallach, a former national champion.
For more than a month she played
several tournament sets nearly every
day until she finally wore herself out
in the unfamiliar climate and was
forced to rest before entering the ma
tional championship for women at
Philadelphia.
Miss Bjurstedt has been playing
tennis since childhood. At &c she
won the championship of Norway and
two years ago won the olympic wreath
at Stockholm.
Miss Bjurstedt looks little like the
historic Norseman. She is not tall and
she is dark; her skin Is tanned to a
southern hue and her hair and her
eyes are dark brown. She is 1.-the and
quick and has a thoroughly coordi-
mated strength which enables her to
put an immense amount Of pace into
a tennis ball.
The daughter Of an officer in the
army Of Norway, Miss Bjurstedt has
definite ideas about earning her own
living. She Is in this country. after a
year in Canada, primarily to study
medicine, BY profession she is q
trained nurse and she Intends to prac-
tise her profession as soon az she has
finished with the tennis season. Ten

Hen and Egg Society. Inc,
Eyes. our organization was some dis
turbed lately, but ii is all right now.
You see one Of the New York papers
announced in its columns that Old
Reliable, a hen owned and trained by
a Caldwell poultry person, had laid in
thirteen years 5000 eggs worth 81 200,
and We could not figure 1t out right
somehow. We felt assured that there
was an error in the statement some
where and at first thought possibly il
should have said thirteen hundred
years instead of thirteen, but on sober
second thought We knew that no hen.
even the toughest at our boarding
house, ever attains that age.
with this faunal fact established
We concluded that the error was in the
omission of the word dozen after the
5000. To the layman, so to speak,
without intent to say to joke, this
number of eggs for one hen in that
number of years-3.o00 dozen in thir-
teen years, say 2,769 eggs a year,
nine a day, not -ounting sunday
would seem To be excessive, but to
us who had been reading the advert!s-
ing circulars of so many poultry pro-
ducers on hen production and hearing
so many amateur chicken farmers in
the New Jersey. Connecticut and Long
Island districts adjacent to New York
talking about Il cir hen output. there
was no little confusion of mind and
We were at a loss to reach a definite
and satisfactory conclusion for some
time.
Indeed, not until the paper ex-
planned that the 1900 should have
been $3.50 was the mystery cleared.
Now everything is running smoothly
