II. EXERCISES WITH DUMB-BELLS. 



Position. Heels together, hips and shoulders back, bells 

 down at sides. One-half of each strain of music is given to 

 the exercise, the other half to what is called "the attitude." 

 In taking these attitudes the bells are brought first to the 

 chest ; then, unless otherwise specified, placed upon the hips. 



Directions. Step carefully but quickly to all the atti- 

 tudes. 



Rest oftener than in the other exercises. 



Use too light, rather than too heavy, dumb-bells. Old- 

 fashioned waltzes are best for these exercises. Scotch airs 

 and airs from popular operas, in this time, can easily be 

 adapted by a skilful musician. 



EXERCISE 11. 



28. Hands down at sides, palms in front, turn bells four 

 times, bringing them to chest on fourth accented beat.
