the arms in lifting and in rubbing clothes 

 as in sawing wood. Keep the weight on 

 the balls of the feet, the chest high, bend 

 at the hips and not at the waist, nse the 

 mnscles of the arms and not the back, and 

 washing is not as hard work as when it 

 is done with depressed chest, weight back 

 npon the heels, and a strain upon the 

 back. Stair-climbing is a part of a 

 woman's wor^' which takes much of her 

 energy, if there is much to be done. It is 

 doubtful if to her it wdll ever be a blessing 

 as a means of exercise. However, she will 

 find it less fatiguing if she wall keep her 

 body erect, her head and chest high, and 

 allow the muscles of the legs to do the 

 Avork instead of bending the back and 

 depressing the chest. In walking, mount- 

 ing stairs, and even in standing the chest 

 should be high. 



When the organs of the body are lifted 

 up, the chin raised, the chest high, cour- 

 age and hope are indicated. The mind 

 follows. It is true i;hat one keeps his head 

 up because he is hopeful, but even if hope 



is wanting lift up the head and it will 

 come the sooner. Dress a tramp in good 

 clothes and he has a tendency to become 

 too self-respecting to tramp. On a dark 

 day put on the brightest and prettiest 

 gown, and cheerfulness follows. It is 

 difficult for cheerfulness to express itself 

 in somber surroundings. If one does not 

 feel like laughing, lift the corners of the 

 mouth and he laughs perforce. Nobility 

 has trouble to express itself in a sunken 

 chest. If the knees are bent.and seemingly 

 too weak to support the body, it is easier 

 for them to shake with fear than if they 

 are straight. 



Physical improvement consists not alone 

 in energizing and exercising the muscles, 

 but as well in repose, in poise, in quiet 

 self-control. Yawn, stretch, laugh, relax, 

 and let the knots go out of the body. 

 There is too much tension. Let go. Drop
