Open Air Exercise to Give the Arms Strength and Grace.
T
WIS ft the third of a tcrie$ of practical lenson on health
and grace especially prepared for thia newtpaptr . by
Ui$ Christain Hitler, F. C. ., the famout Englith health
expert.
By F. Christian Miller, F. C. I.
WE EngllKh have an expres
sive little word of three
letters to describe that
state In which we are entirely well.
It la "fit." When we are "fit" we
are equal to anything that may hap
pen. 'Flt" la a cross-cut word to
adequate. .
When we. aie "At" we have an
eaay, comfortable, natural bearing.
' We have an alert mlrrd. Our spirits
are buoyant and that ' buoyancy
speaks in every movement and ges
ture, and particularly in the expres
sion of our faces.
; Now to be lit, what? First we
should begin the day well. A good
: beginning, the right beginning and
', the only beginning, is to take' two
. baths, an inward and an , outward
I one. I am always "fit," and this I
ascribe ln large-part to my lnv
. rlablo habit of the morning inward .
' bath. Aj eoon as I rise in the
I morning I-drink two glaues of
water. Cool, not ice water. If Jce
water Is brought to my-room I ro
1 move the lee before drinking It.
Water should not be too rapidly
drunk. Hotter quaff or sip it than
vulgarly toss it down at a gulp.
The inward bath should always be
followed by a douche. In England
this term means what I have heard
Americana call rplashlng. We take
our plunge bath, the cool or cold
tub, but do not (step out of It imme
diately after as you do here. In
stead, we sit or stand in the tub and
throw handfuls of water over our
neck, shoulders, back and breast.
Then, tingling from the shock of
the cold water, ive step from the
tub and, wrapping ourselves in a
huge bath towel, that is like a sheet
except that it is made of rough
towelling, we thoroughly dry our
uelves. Then we get. into our not too
tlg'ht clothing. It has been said,
and very reasonably, that our cloth
ing should be at least four sizes too
large so that the air can circulate
freely between the clothing and the
skin. The air skin needs ventila
tion. It gets none when we wear
our clothing hermetically tight The
lungs are willing slaves yet they
cannot do all the work of purifying
the blood. If the third lung, the
skin, neglects its duty the body bo
comes snaemlc. It In in nstnge of
starvation, the starvation for fresh
air.
To be "fit"- we must have fresh
air and plenty of It , We cannot
get too much of it, so we must get
as much a we can. Particularly
here where you live in too hot and
steam heated rooms you should fly
for your life to the outer air. And
you should reduce the temperature
of your rooms. .American women
ask me the secret of the fine com
plexions of the Hnglloh women. I
answer, "fresh air and cool rooms."
I believe that the temperature of a
living room should never be above
sixty. In a sleeping chamber it
may well drop ten or twenty degrees
below. I . sleep In a bedroom at
fifty degrees, sometimes forty.
There is much to be said in favor
of sleeping out of doors, if you grad
ually accustom yourself to it Bum
mer i the time to begin, so that the
body will not be too greatly shocked
by the change of surroundings. The
habit of xlinlng on the veranda or
balcony of your home as long as tho
weather will permit is excellent. If
I lived In New York where there are
few yards and many roofs, I should
plcnick a great deal on the roofs,
eating many a simple meal above the
roar of the city streets. This could
be frequently done for six or seven
months of the year, I should say.
And at any time of the year I should
be inclined to go often to the roof
for my deep breathing exercises, for
the air, while colder there, is per
haps 60 per cent purer.
Every woman should allow herself
at least two hours a day out of doors,
one hour in the morning and one in
the afternoon. Or if her circum
stances will only permit one hour a
day, let it be divided into two equal
parts, one In the morning and one
in the afternoon. Try to get your
exercise period Into the sunlit
hours. Walk briskly during the
hours out of doors. Or play briskly
at whatever you are doing. I ap
prove of all out-of-door sports for
women, except hockey. . That Is too

Pulling Cork Contracts the Abdoman.
Remember that the weight of the
body must be equally divided be
tween two legs. Don't make the
right leg do the work of both right
and left The legs should be help
meets, not shirks. Hold your body
wo that the weight settles upon the
balls of the feet Keep your knees
straight and walk with a long, free
stride from the hips. Throw the
weight upon the bones and you will
not tire. It is only the muscles that
grow tired.
An indoor exercise that will help
to keep you ''flt" Is the imaginary
motion of lifting a piano, and the
other of drawing a cork from a bot
tle. Hold the bottle between your
knees and pull and pull at the
tightly driven cork. Both of these
contract the muscles of the abdo

cid and fall, giving them a balloony
appearance. Another exercise for
this purpose is to hold the knee
firmly by both hands, drawing It up
on a level with the waist Stand
thus for as long as you can. Then
shift to the other foot and repeat
exercise. This, like the two fore

HY should you hide the face
of . your sweetheart . In a
locket, or in tho case of
your chatelaine watch, when -you
can pay him the compliment of
wearing it boldly photographed on
one or all of your finger nallsT
This Is the idea of a Ttris pho
tographer, and it has started a
pretty fad that is - spreading all
over Europe. You don't need to
fear embarrassing consequences re
sulting, from a poeslble change -of sweethearts., for.
while these finger-nail photographs ordinarily will last
for two or three months, any competent manicure can
, onwe them at a sitting. '
Finger-nail photography is not a tedious operation.
The nail is first sensitized with chemicals, whioh bold
the film of the tiny negative. This once fixed, the artist-photographer
"works up" the transferred image un
111 it appears like a delicate etching with a border and
background of pink.
As there are some thirty tints used In the making
of carbon prints, you can take your choice. A very
thin coat of transparent varnish to preserve the Image
completes the operation. The effect is like transferring
a portrait to a bit of fine china, only no "firing" is
necessary. The photograph being necessarily so small,
only the closest inspection by an outsider will reveal
the original, and, therefore, you cannot be accused of
"wearing your heart on your sleeve."
Of course, as the nail grows and is trimmed at the
end in manicuring it, the photograph upon it will gradu
ally, be sacrificed, bit by ijtt When it thus begins to
disappear, that is the time to have it removed by
energetlo use of the polisher when the photographer
can be visited for a renewal of the print The usual
care of the finger nails will not obliterate these photo
graphs when they are carefully "worked up."
It is not likely that this newest of fads will last long.
It is better, though, than that other feminine fad of
only a little while ago when women actually had the
pictures of their very dear friends tattooed upon their
arms or shoulders. The tattoo fad was particularly
virulent for a time, especially in Paris where most of
these oddities start.
The fad may be amusing for a little while but it's
not likely to last, fortunately.

P you have ever seen -a cat lapping milk from a
saucer the refined delicacy of the operation prob
ably has challenged your admiration, especially in
contrast with the prettiest of girls with the rim of a
glass or a cup In her mouth, taking her drink that way
at the expense of an abominable distortion of the lips.
Well, now comes a fashionable doctor In Europe who
declares that the human' way of drinking is responsi
ble for many of the ugly mouths that disfigure middle
aged faces. And bis preventive for that disfigurement
is habitual lapping of your drink as a cat does.
This doctor alleges that originally human beings
lapped their drink, mostly from the" surface of springs
and running streams. The ubs of drinking cups, he
says, la one of the great mistakes of civilization.
