Here is a simple exercise FOR pro-

foot back of your rocking chair. Place
hands on back Of chair, resting weight
on palms. Rock the body forward and
backward with the movement Of the
chair, and you will feel the spinal &C

"A good exercise when you first
awake is this: Lie fat in bed and place
the soles Of the feet against the foot

draw up the left foot as far as it VIII

three inches is the most the muscles

This exercise washes the muscles clear
Of fatigue poisons and is a general
vitalizer OF the whole body.
Lie fat on the back, with the hands
at the waist; stretch the right foot to
its fullest length, then the left foot.
This is similar 20 the former move
ment, but gives little more play at
the hips.
"Stand against a wall, take deep in
halation, try TO make as much OF the
spine as possible touch the wall. DO
this first with open eyes, then with

EEMlNIsM? You may think that
L you know what it means. And
your friends may imagine that
they know. But a dynamic young mod
ern. sage and startling, who has just
come over from England, confesses his
utter ignorance. "I'll be blest if |
know what it is" he says, jamming
his hands in his pockets and sliding
forward on his chair.
He is a very we'll known person, too,

worthy literature, and has helped in
the modern dramatic revolution. He
mas come over to the United States
to give the people what he likes. Per-
haps they will like it also. He is
given TO looking very deeply into what
is going on about him, and in the
modern manner letting the world form
its own conclusions as to futures, con-
sequences and such matters about
which one talks. 81 DONE like to talk.

quite as abruptly as he had leaned
back.
why they are doing this I don't
know either. Probably they don't.
They are doing it just because they
have to. That is why we all do
things. And then We try TO ascribe
reasons. But, yod know, It is rather
absurd to say you are going TO do
this, that or the other. When the
time comes you will probably do some
thing utterly different. What has
driven you to run may drive you to
swerve quite as suddenly.
Feminism MAY Accomplish Things.
"Feminism may be an honest i'm
pulse. II 1t 4, it may accomplish some
good. It may benefit them, men and
the entire scheme. But there is not
the slightest way Of judging. What is
the good of trying to judge in advance,
anyway?
AS a matter Of fact we don't think
as much as We imagine we DO, but we
think far more than we ought" His
keen gaze suddenly projected into
space. It was the philosophers gaze,
but it was not gently dreaming. Dir.
Barker is a paradox himself. He is
tall, beautifully built and his face is
so rudy that one might have mag
med he had forgotten to remove some
of mis- makeup, until is remembered
that he is here 70 produce plays, not
70 act. He is virile, and looks ten
years younger than his thirty-seven.
Neglecting Impulses Evil.
"The trouble with US is that we
stiae our instincts and neglect our
impulses. We try 20 think all the
time, and neglect fully half our capa-
bilities. That has been the trouble
with the education OF children all
along. although that has now been al
tered somewhat. A child's instinct Is
a fine thing. It's impulses, likes and
dislikes should not be reasoned away.
They should DO definitely cultivated.

Pearls for Any Occasion.

A profound cause OF Thanksgiving
among jewellers Is the SCATTERING by
American women OF the tradition that
costly Jewels must be worn only Oh
state occasions.
Not long ago wealthy woman from
a Western state arriving at New York
hotel wore outside her smartly tailored
coat rope OF very large and wonder
fully matched pearls reaching far be-
low her waist line.
One morning, to give another in
stance, lady leaving hurriedly the
fitting room OF New York dressmsk-
ing establishment forgot TO wear away
a string Of pearls, which the filter
carelessly thrust into a drawer. Not
until her customer rushed back in
great excitement did she realize that
for an hour she had been custodian Of
pearls worth many thousands Of dol
lars. At morning musicals luncheon
teas, in the boDdoir. even, Americans
love 70 wear their pearls.

Balance Most Essential Exercise.

Balance, the one great fundamental
law OF al the arts. IS the most essen
tal Of bodily exercises said Mrs.
Parsons. "The law Of balance is ap-
piled in training consciousness o. move

the entire motor area OF the brain
and IS per cent OF our life is gov
erned by muscular sensation. The
muscular system should be trained so
that no matter what the overdraft may

every time will respond normally.
