BROADENING THE
SHOULDERS.

Most women will say that they
do not want to be broad should
cred, the broad shoulderCd woman
is not supposed to be beautiful.
The broad shouldered woman is,
however, healthy and it is quite
possible to have shoulders that
are much too narrow, I pass
dozens of girls every day who need
this new exercise | am describ-
ing.
In most gymnasiums the method
used to broaden shoulders is by
means of lateral tension. The stu
dent stands between two upright
parallel bars placed far enough
apart so that his arms are extend
ed at right angles to his body. He
grasps the bars with both hands
and pulls alternately first with the
right then with the left hand.
This exercise strengthens laterally
the muscles of the shoulders.
If you cannot take the exercise
this way you can get an almost
identical action by means of a
stretching board. This is nothing
but a piece Of board, which need
not be more than A inches wide,
but which should be as wide as
the distance from palm to palm
of each hand when your arms are
stretched out on either side level
with your shoulders. The exer-
else, then, is to grasp the board
between the hands and u pail on
it as hard as possible, then TO re-
lax the muscles and then pull

HELEN HUNTERS HUSBAND
BY JANE PHELPS.

the long boarding house dinner,
where the vegetables were grouped
about his plate in what he dubbed
birds bath tubs" and would nod
over the dessert. But just as soon
as he was free to spend tho even
ing with Helen, his tiredness would
leave him like magic and he would
walk for hours, or If necessary sit
in the stuffy parlor just to be with
her.
When he finally told Mrs. Ard
more that the commissions had
reached 500, the last vestige of
doubt was swept from Helen's
mind. That she knew nothing of
tho value of money, he could not
know. She was poor, always had
been poor, just as he had. So he
crushed her to him, and made her
promise to marry him at once.
They were married in the board
ing house parlor, with all the
boarders for company. 1t was
an evening wedding to accommo-
date them, although Jack would
have preferred them away. But he
was too happy to bubble, so every
thing went just as his prospective
mother-in-law wished. To his sur
prise, she gave him $50.
"Take Helen to Atlantic City,
Stay as long as it lasts" she told
him. She's always wanted to go
there, and l couldn't afford to
leave.
She also had provided Helen
with a very pretty wardrobe. in
Guiding a white wedding dress in
which Jack declared she looked
just like an angel
How many angels have you
known" Helen had asked him
naively, pleased by the compli-
ment.
None but you"
They left the house amid a
shower of rice, old shoes, and cries
of congratulation. outside the
street was almost impossible with
urchins, waiting to see the fun.
They mingled their cries with
those of the boarders. to Jacks
disgust and Helen's embarrass-
ment.
Jack recalled what his mother
had said when he looked at his
lovely blushing bride-"Marriage
is the gravest thing in life" Dear
mother, she would love Helen
when she knew her, he thought
she would be happy in their hap
piness.

their modest $50, and although

JACK MAKES HASTE SLOWLY.

CHAPTER 4.
Helen always looked stylishly
dressed, and Jack admired and
complimented her without having
the slightest idea of the cost. Her
bodied brown hair hung in a wavy
mop about her face and neck. her
dainty. girlish dresses that her
mother shaved to buy her, her deli
cate hands thoroughbred by house
work her mother would not allow
her to do for fear of spelling them,
her pink and white skin. all in
trigued the boy whose one short
spent away from the farm.
Often Mrs. Ardmore questioned
him. Jack suffered an agony of
embarrassment at such times, and
often answered in monosylables,
Helen's mother was not as opti-
mistic as her daughter. Enthus-
iasm, belief in what he was going
to accomplish, meant nothing to
her. It was What have you done
today" that intrigued her. She
was needless of his distress, or his
embarrassment. She had to be
told in dollars and cents how he
was getting on. That was the only
proof of success in her mind.
Jack sensed all that passed in
her mind, and 1t made him acutely
miserable. He even brought How
ard Dunn home to dinner one night
as an example of what could be
done in the business. what he. Jack
Hunter, would soon be able to do.
But he never repeated the expert
ment. Helen was too much taken
with the successful Howard. and
Howard talked too much of the
lovely Helen.
For the first time in his life Jack
Hunter knew Jealousy.
But whatever the reason hard
plugging work for any cause usual
ly brings results. Slowly Jacks
commissions grew. He asked Helen
to marry him right away the day
they reached SIS. Her mother re-
fused her consent.
when you can show that you
earn 500 I won't say no." she said
at Helen weepingly espoused his
cause. "That will keep you while
you live with me. and couldn't let
Helen leave me-"
With this Jack had to be con-
tent.
But it spurred him on to greater
effort. Often he was so weary he
could scarcely keep awake through
