Summer Sports Offer Women Chance to Win Health, Grace, Charm Swimming Improves Figure; Adds Strength and Vitality This is the first of a series of articles by Doris Doscher, noted Heaith and Figure Improvement. Expert, who has been specially en- gaged by The Evening World to write for its women jreaders, She will first show how you can take advantage of the outdoor opportuni- ties summer offers in the way of healthful sports, commencing with swimming. She will teach you the various strokes and explain the benefits to be derived from cach. She invites correspondence and will @nswer questions relating to her articles through The Evening World, Miss Doscher, adjudged by experts to have a perfect figure, posed for the figure on the new quarter and for many noted pieccs of sculp- ture.

VERY girl or woman—unless she is afflicted with one of a few serious organic defecta—can make herself well and beautiful. Everyone can begin now—this summer—this minute. It 4s open season for sports—swimming, rowing, hiking, tennis, golf and others; exercise. the most strengthening, beautifying, If only I could sound a call as irresistible as that of the Pied vivifying forms of athletic Piper of Hamelin, a call of mine which all girls and women must follow imto the glorious kingdom of outdoor sport! If I could convince you all what happiness, health and beauty you will find in a free, vigorous outdoor vacation; in which the swimming suit, will be worn affoat or afield. the short skirt, the comfortable shoes I think hotel piazzas are delightful places for nice old ladies, and nice young ones will not suffer from an occasional visit to the hotel ballroom. the sea, are the places where I would take you. health and loveliness and joy. rejuvenated to your work. spend your vacation, Won't some of you be mermaids? I know you will. Therefore, my first talks with Evening World readers who want to gain health and beauty through sport will deal with the splendid sport of swimming, the most popular and pleasurable of athletic actévities during warm weather. Cool- ing, exhilarating, invigorating, it is &s joyful a pastime as exists, and, as I shall tell you often, what cultivates happiness at the same time cultivates physical charm and weli being. Swimming also builds health and beauty in the most direct fashion, It gives an even development of the body. It strengthens the muscles. It gives splendid circulation in the di- gestive organs, and therefore ban- fahes indigestion, It reduces over- weight and puts extra pounds on those suffering from underweight. It stimulates the mental faculties and etrengthens the will power; in short, fm helps to make you “the master of your fate, the captain of your soul." Proper teaching and constant p: thoe will master the difficulties in the way of learning how to swim. ‘The beginner will do well to remember that in this accomplishment, as in many another, before we can learn to Fun we must leam to crawl, Bccause I consider it the simplest of all strokes, I am going to tell you, first of all, how to swim the “crawl,” eometimes called “the dog paddle.” This newest, simplified stroke, is very easily accomplished by starting an alternating arm paddle, forcibly pulling deep down and under with tho right arm, at the same time circling over and forward with the left, as shown in illustration No. 1, Don't forget to bend the elbows and keep the hands low. Practice leg motions for the crawl by alternating up and down move- ments of even length. The leg drive extends from the hips to the pointed toes with the knee kept rigid, as shown in iMustration No. 2. Be careful not to raise the feet above the water, or bend the knee, as the lost energy slackens progress Don't attempt to learn to crawl in the surf! It is impossible to swim any stroke @uccessfully and scientifically without knowing how to breathe correctly. Breathe in through the mouth above water, breathe out through the nose under water. If the lungs are filled with oxygen, the body will be buoyant. So many whom I have taught to swim have felt the greatest difficulty fm overcoming a sense of timidity when the face ts submerged in the water. But you must remember (1) that the buoyancy of your body will be maintained IF (2) you breathe properly and have (3) body balance. Be active all the time you are in the water in order not to suffer a cbill. For the first few times your tay in the water should be of short duration, but each day you may re- main ‘in’ a few minutes longer than the day before. Each stroke, in swimming, has its wpecial value as a builder of health ‘end beauty. If you want to get all possible good from the crawl stroke, which I am describing to you to- But the tennis court and the golf links, the hills and In them you will build From them you will return radiant and So much depends on WHERE and HOW you Cannel. de wwe day, follow the instructions closely and be sure your positions are cor- rect, You soon will notice how the arm movements will strengthen your arms and lungs, while your feet do equally good work for your abdom- inal muscles, and thus induce splen- did circulation through the digestive organs. If you swim, goodby indigestion! When you come out of the water, you should take a few exercises for warming up. Handball is a general favorite along the beach. Wednesday I shall tell you how to swim the breast stroke and how it will benefit you. To-morrow I will outline some simple diet’rules that it would be well for you to observe dur- ing the summe ‘THE EVENING WORLD, MONDAY, JUNE mitts th, mo.

Maxims ofa Modern Maid By Marguerite Mooers Marshall The professional bachelor probably has a heart, but its calcareous deposit of cynicism is so deep that not even the sharpest female can make an impression. Copyright, 1921, by the Pres Publishing Co, (Tae New York Preaing World) HUSBAND is like a vacation—you don’t feel satisfied unless you Bet one, and yet the one you get usually means a maximum of work and bother to a minimum of rest and enjoyment. A Those persons who wonder why “Jane Smith” publicly and dramat!- cally refuses to answer to her legal name of “Mrs. Arthur Brown,” forget she thus impresses the fact of “Jane Smith's” existence on a world up to that moment unaware of the lady. ‘The man who doesn’t marry the woman he loves is unhappy for a little while without her. The man who does marry her is unhappy for the rest of his life. Often the parental passion, like the passion for dogs, Js a subtle manifestation of egotism—a love for those beings so inferior that they think one a god. What the 1921 wearer of rolled stockings can’t understand is why she must cover her knees on the beach when they are in a state of nature all the rest of the time. It is easier for a woman to forgive the worst sinner in the calendar than the man who {s too good, The old-fashioned woman still tries to justify her existence by per- forming a thousand little tasks, which either can be done mese combe- tently by others or which it is a waste of time to do at all. Why is it that If a woman has brains a man rarely or ever concedes her good looks, whereas if she is pretty and wants to make the effort she can hypnotize him into thinking her a little lower than George Eliot? The unpunctual waste the time of others; the punctual their own, @ « TERESTING FACTS FROM HERE AND THERE.

West, M. D. Copyright, 1921, by the Prem Publishing Co, (The New York Grening Wont.) Summer Colds. NDER this heading are cinssed rose cold, summer catarrh, perlodle coryza and even hay fever, though the latter should be confined strictly to the variety that appears in the early autumn or hay- making time. Many individuals suf- pr during each successive summer season with a prolonged attack of acute coryza In some instances it is caused by pollen of certain plants and flowers, especially the rose. Dust of various kinds gives rise to it. The em )na- tions arising from certain ania ials, such as the horse and create the condition in some, It has been knowa to come from strong emo- tional excitement. One authority ad- vanced the theory that it is caused by chemical changes in the .nouth secretions, while others are of the opinion that it ts neurosis. Every “cold” at this season is apt to be regurded as an attack of “sum- mer ecatarrh,” and this is especially to be guarded against because the thought is apt to suggest a return of the condition, the only remarkabl feuture of which #s its periodicity, for summer coryza behaves in a prs- cisely similar manner as the condi- tion at other seasons of the year that is the symptoms are the same and familiar to every one, but the attacks may be more severe and more prolonged.
