POSSIBILITIES OF THE CITY
Naturally, there can ba much less Ub-

possible Of course, bloomers ara ex

free and easy costume is permissible.
Vary JItUe paraphernalia la necessary,
a seesaw,, a bar between two upright -posts
and a stout horlsontsl pole, strong
enough to bear one's weight the limb
of a tree Ts ideal for the purpose are
quite . sufficient for the exercises here

a return to the sports of childhood. ' '
Leapfrog, for instance, la one of the

In common.lfor two or' three girls or

drills and games ' than can one alone.

gives so much poise and grace, espe
cially In children. Tha rocking should
be done , "turn

Is the one . who stands In the middle
that receives tha greatest benefit.'
" POLE VAULTING IS PINE
" Another : fine ' developer is , vaulting.
Leaning heavily on a strpng pole, the
-would-be athlete' should swing herself
lightly over the low ' bar, landing safe
ty well on the other side.7 Easier to
.say than to doT Perhaps, at first, but
..with a.: little practice (she will demand
that the bar be ; placed' higher, until 'it ,
is at the regulation height And, final-,

, All of ' these exercises, , suitable for
city "people, are easily adaptable In tha
country. .Three fence rails will serve for
vaulting, a log thrown across a fence for .
see-sawing, and only tha rings will have
to be furnished,, together with the rope
to fasten them to one of the near-by
trees. Hera other drills, too,, may be
added, ' Buch as Jumping and running '
exercises, and leapfrog will be far less
conspicuous and .embarrassing than, In

a How to Care for the Hands
My Inability to ear for my bands la a)
manner that will be aatlsfactory and da
lasting good haa troubled me for soma time.
The akin Is very thin nd eaally broken, and)
I am never free from "hanrnalla" Fillnsl
the nails seems to aggravate the conditions.
;. I use a rather stiff nailbrush In washing!
my hands morning, tnou and night, and ap
ply soap and lukewarm water, aty bands)
are not subjected to aay severe changes ofj
' temperature. At night I uea a flrat-claaa
Cold cream oa them. .Nevertheless, they are)
.very rough, scrawny and altogether uneat
- Isfactory. I can onlr describe them by eay
. Ing they look aa if I bad been engaged Ii
: the heaviest manual labor, which la not,
, true, aa I am a stenographer. I wash my)
handa through the day In cold water at tha
office, as warm water la sot obtainable.

To begin at the end of your letter, I
am sorry that you must use cold water,
' during the day, 5 as Jt undoubtedly!
breaka the tender Bkin of your handaa
However, you can remedy , this byi
proper care morning and evening, inf
the first place, aa to washing. Bath
the hands first in water aa hot as can
be borne, acrubblng first with pur cas
. tile soap and a not too stiff brush, and)
then soaking in another clear water
until every pore is open and the handa
are softened. Then, aa quickly aa possi
ble, dash, very cold water on them re
peatedly, until the pores are closed.
Then dry by wrapping a towel tight
around the hands and allowing It ta
absorb the moisture by pressure. Final
ly, rub the cream I am giving you welt
in, and rub off soon afterward with an- '
other towel. All this may aeem a great
deal of trouble, but it will pay in the
end. 1 . -
