eeds of the body in relation to foods, and the removal of waste; the
care of the skin; and the offices of clothing.
Very simply and clearly the structure and functions of the nervous
system are given as a basis for important suggestions regarding its care
from infancy to womanhood. Explicit teaching is given regarding the care
girls need to give themselves during high school and college years if
they wish to keep as well and strong as they ought to be. The story of
motherhood is told in a very interesting manner, and valuable advice is
given regarding the physical preparation for it, which the author
believes should begin in early girlhood.

Most women are very definitely in need of some sort of simple and
suitable exercise that can be done in the home, without apparatus, if
necessary.

rounded, graceful figure.

their patients, to teachers of gymnastics for class and private work, to

WOMAN, EVERYWHERE who desires PHYSICAL GRACE, and POWER.
