What woman does not desire to be as nearly perfect as possible; to obtain that physical development, elasticity, endurance and that vigor and vitality of health without which not only perfection, but the greatest usf ulness and happiness are impossible. Physical attainments cannot be despised If the best results from our lives are to be realized, yet how many are there who pay litt'e or no attention to the maintaining of that physical vigor which Is the foundation of the best qualities of our natures. Many make the mistake of leaving all to nature, forgetting that they are not living at all as nature has decreed they should live, but live on the contrary, very artificial lives, physically thereby giving nature little chance to do what should be done. long centuries of physical activity on the part of our race has created the

necessity of a goodly amount of such

activity to maintain that physical bal

ance we call health. People today and

cause proper attention is not given to things physical. All over the civilized world gymnasiums have been installed to make up for the lack of physical activity our present mode of living entails. Nervous energy is being expended in ever increasing proportions, and to maintain a healthful balance, systems of exevrclse and health culture have been created and are being followed by thousands. Without doubt for the average person there must be the inspiration "f leadership, the sociability of others i-

gaged in the same pursuit, and the stimulus of games if muc.h is to be done along these lines, hence the formation of classes under the direction

of trained leaders.
