A Woman Must Like Her Ex- erciseé and Not Have to Force ‘Herself to Do It Every Day if She Wishes the Best Results. “ The Trouble With the Efforts of Women to Take Exercise Is That They Overdo It— and Do Not 'Exercise Regu- larly. Fourth in a series of daily articles Dased upon interviews with Miss Russell and her own writings. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Copyright, 1022 (Ne York Bveni World) by’ “Prose. Publishing “Oo. I ILLIAN RUSSELL showed her intelligence and good sense by being one of the first well- known American women to foin.the cult of sport and physical ex- ercise, Riding horseback, riding the bicycle, tennis, fencing, besides stren- ous gymnastic exercises, formed an important part of Miss Russell's daily routine for years. She wrote for The Evening World 8 Special series of articles on different kinds of exercise and the benefits to be derived from them. To-day's ar- tiole isa summary of the points Miss D Russell made in this original Evening d World discussion of “EXERCISE.” “From the time I have fintshed breakfast gt 8.30 o'clock until lunch- eon at 12 or 1 I am exercising. Im- mediately after breakfast I go out to the tennis court. To my mind, abso- lutely no outdoor exercise is finer for evelopment or for training down than tennis. It brings into play al- most all the muscles of the body, and ft is done in the fresh air, where every bit. of one’s exercising should be done when possible. “I began playing tennis to reduce my weight. When I did so the mus- cles of my. upper arm and forearm were not espdcially wel! developed, but my arms were large. When this is true it means, of course, that the ™uscles are covered with fatty tissue, and while this tissue is there the mus- les have no room to develop. “Now, consider the made in playing tennis. Stooping to pick up the ball, raising the arms above the head, the sharp stroke of the right arm when the ball ts hit, and after that the constant running, dodging and leaping to meet the ball with the racket. The arms are in continual motion, raising or swing- ing; the head is erect, the chest is expanded, the lungs are being filled with fresh air—there could be ao more gencral exercise for the whole body. » a “Now, with this exercise begins at once the change in the muscles. I had not been playing tennis a week when I felt it. My arms were chang- ing im shape and for this reason: ‘As the muscles expanded, growing hard and firm, the fat above the mus- cles gave place for thelr development and gradually disappeared. My arms became muscular but they were not fat. movements “One of the greatest benefits of a game of tennis {s the time just after the me. I never spend this time sitting down to rest or cool off. This is the worst possible thing to do. A ‘woman must remember that anything that makes her {I] will make her eld. Nothing is more likely to make her {11 than rest and cooling off after violent exercise. “When I have finished my tennis I @unoh the bag for twenty minutes to keep up the rapid circulation brought about by the tennis. Twenty minutes of anything that will do this is a good (interlude between tennis and what must of course follow it, the shower bath. “My gymnastum is on the lawn at ‘he back of my country home. It is Jess than a mile across to the beach, wo the alr is pureand salt. The gym- nastum is fifteen feet square and is two steps up from the ground, It has wpen sides, and from the top awnings ture hung @o that the place may be in- closed when it is raining. “1 regard as chief in importance of my gymnasium equipment the punch~- ing bag. This is what the punching bag does; It develops the muscles of the arm until the arms are nothing but muscle, Every bit of superfluous fat goes off. In addition the punch- ing bag, of course, develops the chest and shoulder muscles wonderfully. “One's youth ie in one’ muscles, Let every woman remem- ber that. ‘But one of the punching bag's greatest valugs is the way ip which 1s About ‘ ~ What LILLIAN RUSSELL Has Said How to Reduce’”’ starts the blood through one’s veins, opening the causing intense perspiration and enabling the blood to throw off its impurities “Tt 1s very violent exercise, and one must be more careful in talking it up than In the.case of almost any other. The trouble with the efforts of women to take exercise is that they overdo it. “What Is equally as bad, they do not exercise regularly, pores, Five minutes one day and twenty the next are very bad for one. It doesn't matter whether a woman {s hurried or tired or hungry or dying—she who starts In with ex- ercise should continue it regularly and permit nothing to interrupt her, “Next to tennis and the punching bag I place fencing as the most val- uable exercise to woman. Not only does it develop the muscles all over the body—other exercises will do that, too—but {t gives a woman grace, tt gives her poise, it plants her securely upon her feet, gives her freedom of gesture and general ease of motion. “The worth of fencing is unques- tlonable as a developer of all the Other Articles in the Series Will Be On— 5—CLOTHES 6—THE STAGE 7—MARRIAGE 8—"IF 1 WERE MAYOR OF ‘NEW YORK” . muscles of the body. Tt sets the blood in circulation very quickly. Nothing is better for lung difficulties than fencing. Another thing in its favor is that It teaches patience and self- command, “The use of the wand or bar Is also very good. I have one about seven feet long in my gymnasium and it is especially good for the muscles of the neck and shoulders. Besides the bag and the bar and my foils I use the elastic exercises. The elastio is fast- ened to a panel put up in my gymna- sium and I work at It a few minutes every day. It takes the place of the weights formerly used, and ts far better. “I use the medicine ball very fre- quently as a valuable variation of the other exercises. To play medicine ball properly one must stand on a lawn and raise one's arms above one’s head, holding the ball Hghtly in both hands and then fling the ball forward. Every muscle of the body comes into play in that moment. “A woman must Ike her exercise and not have to force herself to do it every day if she wishes the best re- sults. “Housework is fine exercise. And yet a New York woman frequently feels Injured if she has to do her own housework ! “The women who spend their lives in a round of indoor social pleasures live about half their lives. The other half goes for lack of a tennis net and a dollar punching: bag. “The woman who realizes In the late thirties the value of exercise is going to aecomplish a good deal, though ghe has a good deal to fight, too. “But the woman who begins to ex- ercise when she is still in the twentti is going to be youthful all her days. When I say youthful I mean beautiful, for youth is beauty.’”” The next article in this series, to be published on this page Monday, will give Miss Russell's ideas on “Cloth By Sophie Copyright, And the little Love God beamed TO A JUNE BRIDE Irene Loeb 1922 (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Co. with joy as he flew across the space J= and the sun shone bright on her wedding morn And reached Hymen's altar, decked with roses.

HBN you ask a policeman to W direct you to some building he has never heard of, he says, ‘Walk down Pearl Street."* When you ask a subway guard where any downtown street is, he says, “Follow Pearl Street.’ ‘Tho reason is, that Pearl Street Is the crookedest street in New York and therefore the best bet. And the rea- son for it being the crookedest street 1s because Pearl Street was laid out by cows, It was formerly known as “The Cow Path." It begins at Broad- way and ends at Broadway—largely he use the cows that went to pas- ture had to come back home. Below Wall Strect, in those days when land belonged to the settlers and every settler kept cows, a herdsman was appointed by the city to take the cows to the public pasture, which is now City Hall Park and vicinity, Every morning he passed through the streets blowing a horn to warn the inhabitants of his approach, They then turned the cows out of the gates and they were driven through the city gates at Wall Street, beating down the path, now named ‘Pearl Street." The name Cow Path was next changed to Queen Street. It was at that time the Fifth Avenue of pre- Revolutionary days. Abraham De Peyster built one of the biggest homes on Queen Street, which was the envy of Capt. Kidd. The Captain ts said to have spent much time and thought in planning a home which would out- shine Abraham's, and had he not been suddenly hustied off to another hemis- phere there is little doubt that he would have erected a mansion that would have made De Peyster's look like a two-family Coney Island bunga- low at the end of a hard season, Housewives Who Fail | THE SLACKER By Mrs, Christine Frederick. Household Efficiency Expert; Author ‘Household Engineering.” “There was a ‘slacker’ housewife; ‘Why must I cook,’ quoth she, ‘Or sew or mend or children tend? To dress and idle suiteth me.’” Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening World) by Preas Publishing “ec MAN," says a noted au- thority, “is no longer @ yook—ehe is a can-opener."” And we agree that there is a con- stantly increasing group of what we might call the ready-made housewife. 8h 6, like the proverbial lilles of the field, tolls not, neither does she spin, but keeps house on a quick - and - easy- instalment - plan basis, which often results in serious consequences to her husband and family. It is therefore not surprising that one out of every twelve mar- riages ends in divorce when we know that at least one out of every twelve women is a ‘‘Slacker"’ Housewife. Claiming that she ‘‘has no time to cook"’ she turns over the responsibil- Ity for family meals to the food fac- tory, and getting dinner means only a few minutes’ fussing with cans and cartons whose contents she lays un- appetizingly on the table; or so fre- quently is she occupied with after- noon tea, bridge or movie, that not until the last moment does she be- come conscious that a hungry hus- band is drawing nigh and that she must itmmediately find the where- withal to “‘feed the brute." But what an easy matter !t !s to rush to a shop and purchase half a pound of sliced meat, one-quarter pound of potato salad, one-eighth pound jar of salad dressing, 10 cents worth of pickles and some mocha tarts! Or again, the “Slacker’’ Housewife forgets to ask herself, ‘‘What shall we have for dinner to-night?" until 6 P. M., when she runs to stand in the meat line and entreat the butcher for a sirloin, the universal lIife-saver of the “Slacker"’ Housewife, Back home she gayly flares up the gas, hurls on the frying pan—sz—sz- sissz—goes the steak, opens a can of corn and just as ‘friend husband’ grates his key tn the door she ts ready to say: ‘‘Dinner’s all waiting, dear The unfortunate “‘Slacker’' House- wife does not know the difference be- tween a calorie and a Greek root. To her ‘‘potatoes Is potatoes" and ‘beans is beans,"* and they do not differ by so much as one gram in their value to the human diet. If little Tommy wants a banana or a sausage, bless his soul, he shall have it; indeed, several of them, no matter how unripe or how dangerous to his little tummy! If he cries for a purple candy pipe to suck, or a oake in a window or insists on tasting mamma's cup of coffee, he gets it—anything to keep him quiet. The ‘Slacker’ Housewife has no in- terest and knowledge In the scientific feeding and care of children. She would be much more able to tell you who recetved the greatest number of votes in the latest movie popularity contest or the up-to-date decree of fashion in neck styles than she would what vegetables should be allowed a two-year-old child or why every child needs a quart of milk a day. ‘There are a few philanthropto laun- dries willing to sew buttons and darn socks for bachelors, but keeping the family clothing in order is one of the accepted duties of the home manager. But here, too, the lacker’’ House- wife shirks her job. She ts a constant victim of the lure of the 790. bargain counter; she thinks she Is saving ince she ts getting an article but because she buys on # basis of price and not value and | ing quality she Is really wasting her money. We admit that ready-made clothing has a wide field of usefulness.

R, BERNARD BLODGDER, the young stepfather of the Cackle- Derry girls, had hastened from Philadelphia ‘o visit Mr, and Mrs Jarr es soon as word had reached him that his youngest stepdaughter, Gladys, was engaged to Jack Silver, the wealthy bachelor friend of the Jarre. Mr. Blodger had come on, as he expressed it, “To wee that Jack Dal- ton does right by our Nell!” But as a matter of fect Bernard Blodger hed borrowed carfare from hia wife to come on to the great city to get bis prospecttve @on-in-law to ca#h a check for him. In his own home, town, Philadel- phia, no living soul would longer cash chooks for Mr, Blodger for the reason that almost every living sou! in Philadetphia had cashed checks for him. Incidentally, Mr. Blodger gave it out that important matters concerned with the anti-feminist movement, with which great movement he was bound up heart and soul, called him hence, “Call it propaganda, if you will,’ Mr. Blodger had declared, ‘but I say it Is a sacred crusade!

Mr. Jarr knew that Bernard Blod- ger’s real mission was to pass checks and wager the proceeds at good odds on the Philadelphia Athletics, now the Mackmen were coming back. When Miss Gladys Cackleberry heard that her stepfather wae in the oity and was endeavoring to locate Jack Bilver, his prospective son-in~ law, she defiantly announced, “If that big loafer, my step paw, nicks my Garling Jack with any of his bum checks, despite my warnings both to him and Jack, or does anything to queer me with Jack before { am safely married to him, I'll eoratch his face." By this she meant it was her father-in-law’s face she would worateh and not her intended hus- band’s, but, in her excitement, the bride-elect was somewhat tnooherent. Mre. Jarr coincided strongly with Miss Gthdys Cackleberry, and warned Mr, Jarr not to bring that man Blod- ger to the house. For Mr. Jarr had come home and remarked that Blodger had called him on the telephone, that he was in the city trying to locate, in Mr. Blodger’ own words, ‘this poor boob Silver, who is going to sentence himself for life to support my sour-fnced step- daughter, give him the once over and see if he will stand for a touch. As for Mra. Jarr, she personally had no grudge against Jack Silver. She wished him no harm, but It ts not in the nature of any married woman to permit any hard-boiled bachelor to escape. Mr, Jarr had only murmured that all he could do was to ait by the front door with a club od knock Mr Blodger in the head, !f he showed up—especially with she request that Mr, Jarr should cash a check. Then he sat gloomily and listened to the ladies discussirg the happy marriage that was to be “It'e @ Deautiful r .

WONDRR If you realize how easily the curves of the mouth, that make a perfect Cupid's Bow, can be spotted by the bad heit that many of you have of biting on the lips? In a moment of embarrassment or fretfulness the first thing you do is to pull the lp through the teeth and press on the tender flesh. You have done it so often you become unconscious of the fact that it has become a set habit with you. Not only that, but often you will draw the flesh from the inside of the cheek between the hack teeth.
