It is entirely unnec- essary to be mistress of a system of phys- teal culture. There are a few exercises which, taken regularly and thoroughly, will accomplish all that a system would. The .tendency is, however, to be unsys- tematic in taking those exercises and thus lose their good effeot. It is best to take them at night. In bedroom slippers and loose gown, with no bands to bind, no collar to rub, a girl is ready for the exer- cise that will make her rest as tranquil and sweet as a baby's. Every muscle of the body is free to stretch, to stiffen with effort or to rest itself incomplete relaxa- tion. "Clubs, dumbbells and other gymnastto paraphernalia are unnecessary and really are more harmful than beneficial. Grasp- ing the bells enlarges the knuckles, the friction of the clubs hardens the bands, and as it is quite as easy to do without them they are better unused. After all preparations for bed are made, even to ar- ranging the rather flat and somewhat hard an ase and begin illow, stand before Bi Y g P , your exercise. There is a real delight in watching the strong, easy movements of a healthful woman. And this ease and strength are within the reach of nearly all women. The flat chests, shapeless waists and badly formed hips may be at least partially remedied, and it requires only a little effort and persistence to accomplish it. Too many women lack persistence. In- stead of conscientiously taking their exer- cise every day they skip a day when they are feeling tired or lazy, then two or three days at a time, and eventually they learn to forget it or decide that the game is not worth the candle. "To develop breadth of chest place the hands on the waist line a little back of the hips, the lingers pointing forward. From this position move the elbows slowly back toward each other, making them come as nearly together as possible.

RENEWS HIS YOUTH., Joy In Mr. Billtops' Heart Over Two Llt- tie Time Honored Jokes. "How many, many times has it been said that vvo live our lives over again in our children," said Mr. Billtops, "and bow true it is, and how grateful we should be that it is so, as indeed we arel Now, here's my youngest boy comes in from school and asks me, with a smile on his face: "'Pop, did you ever see a horse fly?' "A fine joke it seems to him, and I can truly say that it never sounded so fine to me as it does now from his lips. Renew our youth in our children? We renew it with Interest- we enjoy their youth, and we enjoy it with the far keeper apprecia- tion of our maturor years. There may be only one youth. There is only one age of understanding. "Later he asked me an- other, 'Did you ever see a board walk?' funny t him, And this seems P y o h too, and so it does to me, Like the other, it seems funnier now than ever. "Later still be propounds another, which does not move me as the others had done because it is new to me. And that makes me wonder whether my enjoyment of the old jokes is not, after all, a selfish enjoy- ment in the renewal of my own youth rather than a delight in my children's en- joyment, for this last joke, which lacks interest and flavor for me, interests him i as much as the others did: `('Did you ever see a pencil box?' "My Impression is that we had no pencil boxes when I was•a boy. I am sure this Joke is comparatively modern, but the others have been handed down from gon- erati(:P to generation, accumulating youth with age, crowing ever older, ever youn- ger, bringing to :he lntest bearer youth with ever growing chart.,. -et to "Some day in soros generatiou. , . conte this new joke, 'Can a pencil box?' if It live so long, will, be old, and then it may re -enforce the other two. Happily we do not need it; the others are enough. They bring back, with all their glory, the golden days.' —New York Sun.

"I think," said the lady with the sharp nose, "that it was"— "Never mind what you think," inter- rupted the lawyer. "We want facts here. We d,,-%%- caro what you think, and we haven't, any time to waste In listening to what you think. Now please tell us where aad when it was that you first met this man." The witness made no reply. "Come, come," urged the lawyer. "I demand an answer to my question," Still no response from the witness. "Your honor," said the lawyer, turning to the court, "I think I am entitled to an answer to the question I have put." "The witness will please gnawer the queation," said the court in impressive tones. "Can't," said the lady. "Why not?" "The court doesn't care to hear what t think does itF" "NO." "Then there's no use questioning me any further: I am not a lawyer. I can't talk without tbinktng."
