For I am a firm believer tm the primogeniture of woman's heart boing convinced that her first | love, like the first pressing of grapes, has @ ram favor, a subtie debicacy lacking in all subsequent vintages. To be sure, women got more con- tentment though less ecstasy from| second loves. In fact, no woman| rea!ly knows how to love in her first tremulous romance, In all probabil- ity the man our young woman reader believes to be her second is really her first love. The mere fact that her first feeling was unrequited makes me doubt its genuineness. No sane woman goes on loving a buman being who remains insensible to her greatest gift, For however harsh and cruel it be found, the much love our creditor owes us when the affair goes into involuntary bankruptcy.

Then lower the head forward. on chest, as in Fig. 2, and resist this effort by trying to throw the head backward and preventing the movemens with a forward pull on the towel. Resistance movement, which will remove double chin, may also be practised with the hands clasped tightly behind the head and without the use of the towel. Some physical culture teache resistance exercises, believing them to be absolutely the best. While they are valuable, a great many women find them tiresome as well as monotonous and uninteresting. This is just the thing to avoid in practising any series of exercises, They should never be looked on as a duty, but considered a pleasant and beneficial pastime. For this reason it is better to include a large number of free-hand as well as apparatus ex~ ercises, and outdoor games also, because variety lends interest,.and this Is the essential point to bear in mind.
