Exercise for Beauty.

The overweight woman and the one
who is too slender are likely to think of
exercises only in terms Of gaining cor
rect bodily proportions. While 1t may
be true that those whose weight is far
from normal are more in need of GER
tain exercises than the average indi-
vidual, 1t is Just as true that exercise
is a necessity for any one who wishes
to retain good health and the supple
muscles of youth.
The woman engaged in a sedentary
occupation and the home woman are
among those most likely to neglect tax
ing sufficient daily exercise. AS the
home woman often puts it, ST walk
miles day in doing my housework. So
why take more exerciSe?" Office work.
ers, too. often have the kind of work
which demands great deal of walking
about their place of business, and they
may consider this exercise enough.
While such exercise is better than
none at all, it cannot be compared to
an exhilarating hike out of doors or a
poppy game Of tennis or golf. Sooner
or later, every one who fails to make a
conscious effort to take some very
definite exercise every day has to pay
the price. Ten minutes in the morning
and again at night Is the minimum
amount Of time which any girl or
woman should give to setting-up exer-
cises. OF course, If she has spent sew
eral hours at golf, played tennis or gone
swimming, the home exercises may be
omitted for that day. Like every other
good thing, even exercising can be over
done.
While many find them tedious, there
are those who really enjoy setting-up
exercises, and every one will find them
more interesting if they are done regu-
larry and done to music. Even with
this aid, scores of women will take ex-
ercises conscientiously for a week or two
at all. My advise to every beauty
seeker Is to keep everlastingly at the
exercises. It pays In every way-com-
plexion, muscles and health are all in
much better condition when milady
makes regular exercising a part of her
daily program.
Make it q point to take some Of the
exercise in the form Of q game at least
once q week. A brisk swim, a game of
tennis or golf, will do much toward
adding interest to life, to say nothing
of the benefits Of exercising the mus
cleS OF the body in this way. One
woman who finds 1t impossible to spend
time on the golf course has learned to
swing her clubs In the back yard. She
enjoys this form of daily exercise and
from the serious manner in which she
goes at her game I feel sure that when
she does go to the links she can give
the other players some very good COM
petition.
Our space IS too limited for me to
give you any definite exercises today,
but undoubtedly many of you have
copies of various ones which have been
published before. The thing to keep in

Advantages of Average Means
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Children of the poor or those who
are in very moderate circumstances are
often better OF in some ways than those
of the rich, or of parents who are in
afiuent circumstances. Neither the
parents nor the children fully appre-
ciate just what these advantages are,
but they exist most decidedly. They
can be had by the children of wealthy
parents, but in most cases they do not
have them. Since the vast majority of
cumStanceS, 1t may be interesting tn
know what the advantages are that &C
crue to their Observation-Disclosures that
money cannot buy.
One great advantage the children
have is that while not neglected they
are left sufficiently alone to develop
their own Municipalities. They are not
hedged in by a barbed-wire fence of

that will compare with any toes In
town; why should weep and rend my
hair, why should wear a frown? The
most of us are much too prone our
blessings to forget, we voice our grief
in strident tone, and paw the ground

ting that you have score which do not
ache at all. have nine toes that do

convey my sympathy to Jim, but when
he talked along that way I marveled
much at him. When optimism runs 50
high one stands aghast, indeed, and
marks with an admiring eye the man
who springs that creed.

"don'ts" and 'dos." They learn by ex-
perience as well as by preceptS. They
are not oversupervised. Parents have
not the time to notice every smallest
fault in each child. They learn to guide
their children, not to force them into
special avenues of rectitude.
In this age there is tendency, where
there Is time and money, for parents
to be overwatchful of their children,
and to note what they do under varying
conditions and circumstances. If their
reactions are not In accord with what
ever theory Of child study the parents
are interested in, the children are con-
sidered either marvelouSly endowed
with intelligence or ability, or else they
are thought TO be below normal
If the theories themselves were alb
solutely correct and without flaw, the
judgments might be right. Unfor-
tunately Cor should say fortunately
theories are continually undergoing
radical changes. To gauge a child'S
mentality or moral stamina by faulty
theory or method is unhealthy for the
child. Also If he feels himself con-
stantly under supervision he gets super
conscious, and does not act normally.
He is put at q disadvantage. II he

Another lamp used q percale with
polka dots. To make this she chose
simple round frame which she pre-
pared by winding the wire frame with
silk binding tape in white. She wound
this tightly, holding the tape on the

ing Of pale pink china silk. This gave
soft light. On the outside Of the
frame she put on the percale. She
pinned this In place around the bottom
and sewed 1t In place, using over and
over stitch. Then she pinned the upper
part Of covering In place around the
top rim and stitched this, scanning the
overlapping edges along the side.
The top and bottom Of shade were
finished with rickrack braid in the
same color as the polka dots themselves.
It was q saucy little shade when nm

THAT-in this connection we can not holp but recall Chief Thurston's statement to the common council. He alluded to the eity's fire trucks as things on wheels. While this was a homely expression. and perhaps bit exaggerated, it was earnestly made and presages the time when the city will have to replace its antequat- ed rolling stock with modern fire ap- paratus The water department is about Co furnish the city with ade- quate water pressure. It will be of little avail. however. unless we have fit fire trucks to take the hose and frcmen to the scene of the fire. To go a step further it really does seem imperative that something be done about the tumbling down fire head quarters. Many who are unfamiliar with the situation are prone to think that the Chief is disposed to be an alarmist When it IS brought home to the citizens that the fire apparatus is fifteen or sixteen years old and IS housed in a building that dates back beyond the time that any but the oldest citizens can remember there seems to be we'll grounded reasons for the fire chiefs statement that the only reason the city has escaped grief is just because Lady Luck has smiled upon our little community.

THAT-we can't all be bankers, post office employees nor school teachers. The bankers and the clerks have had couple of holidays within the past two weeks that few of us had the opportunity to enjoy. Now the school teachers are having a whole week to themselves. The policeman and the newspaper man is on the job, or should be. twenty four hours seven days a week. Whenever oc- easion arises, night or day, an officer of the law or news gatherer is sub jeet to call.

VOLUNTARY PRISONER.
Youth Claiming Wealthy Canadian
Father Admits Burglary.

NEW YORK, January 2 R.-A
well dressed youth who described him
self as Thomas Scott, IS, son of Sir
Thomas Scott, wealthy Canadian coal
dealer, walked into police station Mon
day night and said he wanted to give
himself up for burglary committed in
Woodstock, Ontario, on April IL.
Arraigned in Night Court, he told a
magistrate that he and two companions
stole $500 from a Woodstock store.
Then, he said, they went to Boston and
spent the money. Later he came to New
York. He said he had no job or money
and decided to face the Canadian
charge.
He was held without bail to give po-
lice an opportunity to check his story.
