[ Milady's JVIirror Sports Help Good Looks. The best exorcises for women. says a physical director in a girls' coilepe. are those that are simply ttood fun and have no such special object as the winning of a match.

The two essentials of any form of physical exercise are that it should be enjoyable and that it should be rhythmic. If you enjoy thoroughly, your muscles may get fatigued, but your nerve force will not get exhausted. and if the exercise is rhythmic, if it goes with a swing that brings every muscle of the body into play, then the fatigue will he that glorious, glowiug laxness of body. The secret of that swing, of that rhythm, is this: The body must move the limbs and not the limbs the body. Watch a line walker, a fine oarsman, a fine jumper. It is always the body that lifts and impels the limb. There, indeed, you have the secret of grace in every action of life?you must make a gesture with your whole body, with your whole will. A great weakness of golf, as of most other games played with a handle, is that the clubs must be swung on the right side of the body. . Instead of eorrcliiig the unwise preference we give to the right hand, such games accentuate it whereby one set of muscles (and one part of the braim are developed at the expense of another. while the unvaried swing from right to left puts the body out of poise. Hockey, too. has this fault (though its rhythm Is more varied and continuous) and has the additional one of a low crouched attitude which cramps the organs and impedes the breathing. Tennis is some ways finer.

Unfortunately, though the rhythm is continuous, it is jerky, and. though the -gestures are varied, few of them are noble?a tennis player rarely looks dignified?while. when the game is played well, the nervous tension (for women at least) Is apt to be too great. Fencing is too fine an exorcise to be ignored. It gives sureness of poise, lightness of limb, grace of carriage and quickness of eye and of wrist far greater man tenuis gives. it ivmmuu !y shares with coif the unwise preference for the richt hand (tbouch some are wise etiouch to fence with either hand), and it tends to overdevelop the muscles of the wrist and arm. As to horse riding, there is no sport more exhilarating. There is nothing in motion more splendid than the free movement of the brave creature under you. his quick response to hand or foot, the mingled sense of hazard and security. the sense of being launched In air. the flashing picture of the way and the -quick w histle of the wind. But riding may be overdone, even by strong women. The woman who rides to hounds is a fine picture on horseback, but she is not always graceful on foot. Woman's Reason. Women have more of what is termed good sense than men. They cannot reason wrong, for they do not reason at all. They have fewer pretensions, are less implicated in theories and judge of objects more from their immediate and involuntary impression on the mind, and therefore more truly and naturally.?Ilazlitt.

The participants in this dialogue were a bachelor and a spinsterhe about thirty-five, she about thirty. " 'Men.' said the spinster, 'used to marry younger tnan they do now. -didn't they?'

How a "Heart Throb Specialist" Got Her First Job. In the Woman's Home Companion appears a confession of a "heart throb I specialist"?a newspaper woman who after many failures made a success iu New York. .Following is her own story of her first success: "I had dropped into a criminal court room principally to escape the hcg^ot the street. A young girl was Itefng tried for attempted suicide. Perhaps because m.v own failure looked so dark I could read real drama between tin faltering lines of her testimony. "Here was an old story to the reporters. I knew they would turn in brief items, bare facts. I talked about the girl with the probation officer assigned 1 to the case, with the girl, with her em- j ployers, and I secured photographs, in- ' eluding one of the corner where she | ' tried to end it all. a cubbyhole much j like my own. Then I wrote as if her I ' story were mine. 1 "With the power born of desperation , I forced my way into the presence of j 1 a Sunday editor who had spoken a few 1 kind words to me. I begged him to I ! read my story while the girl's case was still in the public eye. "For a wonder he did read it while ' I sat beside him. When he finished he touched several buttons, and men fairly tumbled into the room. "After giving them orders he seemed 1 to recall my existence. lie turned and 1 stared at me over his glasses.

A most agonizing death is caused by an insect half the size of a pea?a small black spider. It lives in Peru, in South America. This spider's venom scorches up the blood vessels and spreads through all the tissues, causing the most fearrui agony a numan neing ran have to bear. The worst of It Is that the victim lives at least two days, enduring unthinkable anguish the whole time. The spider is luckily not common. It is known as the "specky." and when a man who knows what the bite means is bitten he generally blows out his brains. j, Ireland.
