Then it will bound along as it should, giving the vigor of health, the fresh roses of beauty and the general | “feel” of aliveness. | Simple exercises practised five minutes night and morning will help the circulation wonderfully and do much for the beauty which depends on it. They are substitutes for dumbbell exercises,and require no apparatus. The movements-should be steady. swift and rhythmical. That the very same | movements are taught to every beginner in every course of physical culture) only shows the necessity of learning them if you do not know them or of practising them if you have learned them already. FIRST POSITION—Let your arms fall down naturally in two straight lines from your shoulders and balance the weight of your body evenly upon your feet. This sounds simple enough, but many girls are decidedly awk- ward when taking this firet position. The accompanying illustration shows how easy it is to unconsciously hitch one shoulder higher than the other, to let the head lop over ungracefully on one side, to bend out instead of in at the waist line, and to bunch up the straight expanse of the chest. Practise this first position till you take it involuntarily whenever you are standing anywhere with empty hands, SECOND POSITION—Extend the arms horizontally as far as you can stretch them, turning the palms of the hands alternately downward and up- ward with a swift but steady movement. This develops a free play of some very important muscles and sets the, blood a-tingling along the lines which the movements of these muscles cratrol. Keeping the arms extended and the body well balanced, try to walk about the floor on tiptoe. Muscles of ‘the lower part of the body wii thus be brought into exercise, while concen- tration of thought i of necessity be acquired through the effort to keep French? Lv. A Matter of Growth, In It possible for a man to grow ‘an inch taller at twenty-five years of age?

THIRD POSITION.—Raise the arms straight up from the shoulders and stand as high as you can on tiptoe, maintaining the position without tottering. Bring the feet down again to the level of the floor and stand Then wave arms an ds to and fro through the air with a swift, strong, sidewise motion. Let the lines described by the move- ment be perfectly straight ones, out from the shoulders, into the head, regular, rapid. Practise till perfect. It possible watch your mirror while practising. Correct any fault instantly. FOURTH POSITION—Bring the arms back fro mthe perpendicular to the horizontal position and repeat the exercise given for the third post- tion, FIFTH POSITION—let the arms fall down again from the shoulders exactly as in the first position, SLXTH POSITION—Extend the arms out (not up) from the shoulders in two perfectly parallel lines, Then by a half circular movement stretch them up and beckwerd until the fingers touch the shoulder-blades, then bring them forward to their straight lines again, This movement is excel- lent exercise for the musoles of the heart and chest, and should be repeated at least six times, These movements must not be disdained because they are simple, | morning, Strengtn lies beneath their simplicity.
