same height should weigh a little
better than 140
Then take the tall girl, say five
feet, nine inches, At 19 she should
weigh 1873 pounds, but when she
gets to be so, she should have 165
pounds to her credit, which by the
way hppensSto be the minimum set
by many of our colleges for their
football players.
Now for determining your height.
Stand in your shoes against a wall
ar the edge of an open door very
erect but without allowing yourself
to carve in at the middle of the
back. Press a rod or ruler down
against your scalp, step out from
under itand measure up from the
floor. If you are wearing sensible
heels, subtract one inch, if high
French ones, two inches.
When you weigh yourself sub
tract three to five pounds for cloth
ing, depending upon the season of
the year.
A quick way to estimate what
your weight should be is to multi
ply the number of inches over five
feet in height by 51a and subtract
the result from 10. This will give
the approximate normal weight for
la woman over thirty. A younger
woman who is not fully developed
will naturally weigh less. For abso-
lutte accuracy, it is best to get a
reliable weight scale for women
based on both height andage.
Now l have given you a basis for
finding out whether you are too fat
or too thin. shall, in my next talk
give practical advice on how to
bring your weight to normal. Ny

ENTHUSIASM

One sometimes wonders which at
tains the most-the woman of en-
thusiasm or the woman of poise.
The woman of enthusiasm can al
ways work herself up to great
heights. If she is allowed to follow
the line of her ambition, she will
strain every nerve, put every ounce
of energy into the undertaking.
labor early and late to put it
through, but if she is made to re-
press her enthusiasm she suffers
almost physical pain and she is apt
to make those about her quite as
unhappy as she is.
The woman of poise is always
very agreeable to meet. She is
reasonable creature, sane and un-
derstanding; but she seldom gets
very much excited over anything or
anybody. She is the kind of wom-
an who rarely makes mistake; in
deed, her correctitude often makes
you feel childish. She is not apt
to tire you. You are quieted and
made comfortable in her presence,
but unless you have brain of un-
common, almost brittle, brilliancy,
you are apt to become stagnated if
you come in contact with her often.
have never known but>one wom-
an of great poise whom | admired
greatly. This is Anne Besant of
the Theosophical Society. She lives
now, as you know, in India, where
she is an incalculable influence over
that sporific people. Whether she
would be able to exert that same in
fluence over a people of different
temperament from those where she
has elected to live, one does not
know.
| would rather have followed the
banner of Theodore Roosevelt
than a Judge Taft; one impulsive,
splendid even in his mistakes, hon
est in his endeavor, enthusiastic al
ways-the other, logical, with a
mind of mathematical legality, al
ways weighing with judicial tenn
permanent his actions as well as
yours, one who may choose the
sane way but never the adventur-
Gus one.
The enthusiastic person, after all,
is the person who does things.
If Columbus had not had great
enthusiasm he would not have been
the discoverer of the new world. 1t
is only the enthusiasts who have
died for an idea; it is only the en-
thusiasts who will fight for an
idea it is only the enthusiasts who
are able to sell their ideas to the
phlegmatic and unthinking.
Markus Aurelius was the great
exemplification of poise, of sanity,
of the reasonable thinking of his
day. Only the cultured few know
about him today.
Jesus Christ was the greatest en-
thusiast the world has ever known
and all Christiandom bows at the
shrines erected in His name.
Poise is a very wonderful, beau
tiful thing, and yet it almost seems
at times that it is rather a selfish
attitude to take. 1t virtually says,
''Who are you that may disturb the
deeps of my soul?"
To most people the enthusiasts.

In casting about for Christmas gifts, few people think
of various small improvements to the home that not
