WHAT mountainous task it
seems to most of us whn w
contemplate the Idea of keep
ing all our muscles In trim,
especially If we are not leading a par
ticularly active Ufa! "Now, if, I had a,
gymnasium." begins soma proteetra'
woman. Tea, I admit that If all of to
were sufficiently wealthy to haya
ryxnnaalumg it would be very fine and
much carter to keep our bouses of flesh
up to the mark In beauty, health and
efficiency; but if we haven't gymnft"
alums, why lone 'or the impossible?
It was one of the ancient philosophers
who said, "We possess that which ws
despise." So those who long for gym
naslums have naught to do to posses
them but to despise them heartily.
As a substitute 1st the recommend tw)
yards of rope! The rope must be very
strong, for It Is to bear your whole,
wight Do not use clothesline, for It
breaks rather easily. You will know
that if you haye swung- and tumbled
In hammocks supported: by it. Then,
too. when fastening the rope about a
post or the like, care must be taken
that It Is knotted very securely, for a
fall is apt to be a dangerou thing and
result, especially in some of the exer
cise, in broken bones.
Can we count the times thai we have
sat under napping canvas, eating pea
, nuts, vainly endeavoring to see three
rings at once, and gazing with admiring
wonder at the grace of this trapes per
formers? That very grace meant cease
less exercise, which brings an almost
perfect control of the muscles. To a
woman .with well-controlled muscles,
household tasks are but half the trou
ble that they are to the woman who
never Indulges in any systematic kind
of exercise. For gaining this desired
control, there Is no better form of ex
ercise than that of fastening the rope
to the aide of the wall, possibly the knob
of a strongly locked door, and then pull
inc one's self along hand over hand
from a alantlng position to an upright
one. First stand with feet firmly plant
ed at an angle of forty-five degree!
upon the floor, -wearing heelless sUppsra
or standing in one's stocking feet. Never
wear high-heeled shoes in any form ot
infloor exercise, and never outside when
M ean be avoided. When the feet are
planted firmly, and the body la In a ver
tical position, grasp the rope firmly la

Cleansing the Brush
Dear Him. Symaa.
How oftn do yon think one should clean her

One cannot give any definite time for
this, but it is safe to say that the hair
brush ahould be cleaned as soon as it
shows signs of being soiled. Ammonia
water or soda "Water may be used to
give it a thorough cleansing. Put the
fluid in a flat basin and', after removing
all the hairs that have become en-'
tangled in the bristles, dip the brush
Into the water. Do not let It touch the
back of the brush. Swish the brush In
the water tor about a minute and then
rinse it ln clean warm water. If one
application Is not sufficient repeat the
process. Do not leave the ibrush for any
length of time in the ammonia or soda
water, as one may ruin the bristles by
doing so. Dry the brush with a towel
and then in the sun or in front of the

You will have to wait until the spots
grow out with the nails, and then when
they reach the edge you can nie them
away.

kindly tell me what to do to improve Its

Exercise and massage will do much
to improve the -appearance of your
neck. Bend the head slowly forward

Repeat this xerels three (lows, it it is
not too tiring. The leg muscles, the arm

lariat (a thrown, raise yourself lightly
on the toe and raise the arm well
above the head before moving It in the

Bring it slowly ever the head, and then

reach. This exereise is somewhat more
etrenuoua than that well-knoWn one of

until you are tired. Then bend the
head as far backward as possible.
Sitting erect in a chair, bend the head
from one side to the other, and then
roll the head to the right, left and
forward. Another good position Is to
let the arms hang loosely at the side.
Raise the shoulders as high as pos
sible, then forward, down and back
ward until a circle Is formed. Con
tinue this for a time and then re
verse the motion. Do this every day
for five or ten minutes.
Again, stand perfectly erect with
the arms at the sides. Lift them up
vertically, inflating the lungs as the
arms ascend. At the same time rise
upon the tips of your toes and throw
your head back, at the same time
touching the backs of the hands over
head. As the arms slowly descend
exhale from the lungs.
It is also well to massage the neck
and shoulders thoroughly with cocoa
butter.
Backache
Dear Mm. :mes.
1 suiter a great dca,l with backache and at
times 1 can hardly tontinue my work. I am
employed in a dreasma'lQng establishment. Can
you tell ma what to do? GBBALDIXB.
It may be that constant sitting does
not agree with you. However, it la
never advisable to guess at .the cause
of this trouble. Tou should go imme
diately to a reliable physician and have
him locate the cause and prescribe
proper treatment.
Using the Tweezers
Dear Mn. Symes.
Will the constant use of tweezers for re
moving suc-ftrnuttue) Hairs hs.ve unv .frr cm
the skin: that is. hurt tt in any way?
Would the use oi ths elsotric needle hurt
the skin any? ANXIOUS.
If one uses an antiseptic immediately
after using the tweezers, the skin will
not be hurt by the use of them. The
use of the electric needle, if it is applied
by a reliable person, will not injure the
skin. The needle is a very quick and
permanent means of getting rid of the
superfluous hairs.

bathe the neck with warm water,
cleanse it with an agreeable soap and.
after rinsing it, rub cocoa butter or a
good cold Cream into the skin.
The following recipe is for a lotion
which will bleach the skin. If you are
unable to procure cucumbers Just now,
keep the recipe until later and lor the

peroxide ofj hydrogen.,
Take fresh, strained cucumber Juice, bolf it for

To Reduce the Hips
Dear Mrs. Sym
My weightf la
la pretty fair for my height,
my hips are too large to be in
nth the rest of my body. Will
but I think my
proportion with
my body. Wtll
reduce them?
you tell me what to do to
i RUTH.
Exercise regularly if you wish to
reduce your hips and do not remain
In a sitting position for many min
utes at a time. A very good exercise
is to lie extended on the floor, sup
porting oneself by one hand, while
the other is placed upon the hip.
While holdintr this nnsltlnn nl
the body gradually from the floor until
the whole weight is supported by th
hand and 'feet. It is comparatively
easy to get th body from the floor
as far as the knees, but to bring it up
to the full extent Just described is
not easy at first. It should be tried
first on one side and then on the other.
To Develop the Legs
Dear Mrs. Symes. .
.indlr me what I should do to
develop- my legs. THELMA.
Exercise Is the, best possible ' method..
2Linlar?nl th Long walk will
soon produce results, a gymnastic feat
which is said to be a certain enlarger
tor the lower limbs Is to stand on on
foot, and. with the other leg held out
Biar -T,at a r-&ht angle -to the body
f ly'-we. try to touch the knee to
the floor.
-Jt?r?thfr nclal exercise is to ris
te. ! count five; lower the body
until the heels almost tour, the floor;
repeat eight ttaes. touching the floor
and then the teacher would sway her
body and count "one and two and
three," over and over again, until
both you and ahe were swinging Tory
much like pendulum.. Oct into the
rhythm of the exercise lesson, aod then
proceed.
An exenefse which make for aglftty
and general Quickness of movement IS
that which might well have been taken
from our famous) eong "The Bailor's
Hornpipe.' Attach your rope to a
rafter or an iron ring in the ceiling,
being very sure that it is flora and is
no danger or$omlng loos. Grasp th
rope as far above the head as you can
reach, twine the feet about the end of -it
and endeavor te climb the rope,
hand over hand, drawing the feet up
after yon. At first you will be able to
do little more thaa swing dear ot
the floor, but after severed weeks, more
or lees, of practice, you will be able to
mount quite a distance from the floor.
When this is accomplished K will prove
that you have gained tomtrol of th
muscles which are used In performing
the somewhat difficult feat tt la. of
course, understood that B corsets are
to be worn during exeroialng. One
having gained controJ of any muscle by
exercising, tt Is necessary to continue
the exercises at regular interval,
though perhan less often.
Deep breathing I essential in exer
cleing. Not only does H send the red
blood coursing more swiftly through the
body, but it develops the chest muscle.
Even though you are plump, you need
not fear this wholesome cheat expan
sion, for, taken in connection with th
exercises, there is no danger of super
fluous flesh. Exercise does away with
fat and develops muscle, to short, x
erclae brings us to a normal state, be
we thin or stout At the beginning of
deep breathing you may be able to ex
pand but an inch. At the end of several
weeks there should be a chest expansion
Of from two to three Inches, It is both
possible and Interesting to watch the
gradual expansion of the chest by using
a short piece of rope to encircle the
with the heels only on the last count.
Repeat the same exercise, rising on the
heels.
A Tooth Powder
Dear Mrs. Symes.
What is a harmless tooth powder which
I can use daily? Do you think anything
could be done to straighten a crooked tooth?
i have one near the front of my mouth and
It is noticeable every time I talk or
laugh. ' S. S.
Following Is the recipe for a harm
less tooth powder:
Precipitated chalk 4 ounces
Powdered orris root..... 8 ounces
Powdered camphor 1 ounce
Triturate the camphor in a mortar, moist
ening it with a very little alcohol. Add
other ingredients. Mix thoroughly, and sift
through a fine bolting cloth.
I am sure that a competent dentist
can do something to straighten your
tooth. Such a condition of the teeth
will -detract from one's appearance.
Perspiring Hands
Dear Mrs. Symes.
Soma time a-cotiyou published the recipe
for a lotion which was to be used on per-
spiring hands.
Will you kindly print It

Following is the recipe to which you

during the day, and always after first
washing the bands in hot water and dry

the lotion well into the .skin.
Keep the mixture out of the way ot Igno
rant persons and children.

Ought to show.
The first few rows ef seats are usu

If you care to have a ribbon or a
rope of flowers to mark off this sec
tion, you can do so. This would have
to be removed by a little flower girl
or a page before the wedding proces
sion reaches it. Many brides hive
dispensed with the ribbon. If used,
the head usher must be given a list of
names of those who are to ait above
the ribbon. To those fortunate onea
there must, be inclosed m email card
with the number of the pew and the
seat to be occupied.
If on no other day in her life, the
bride should be punctual on her wed
ding day. To keep a church full of
guests waiting is the worst possible
form. Every effort to arrive on time
should be made and all allowances for
delay must be made. Better to wait out
in the vestry than to cause uneasiness
to every one.
The maid of honor and the brides
maids should assemble at the home
of the bride, and the wedding party,
as far as the bride is concerned,
should move in a body to the ehurch.
Carriages are provided. The mother
should arrive a little before her
daughter, together with the rest of
