Thin time thrir pffort is curtail, if not abolish, the b'pftUhy pastimes of numerous young people on the public' tennis courts at Richmond-. Tho protest comes from a rflifrions body wbo contend that the play will interfero with their Sunday school work.

They evidently wfch to sacrifice a clenn jort to their and, in taking up this attitude, they cihibil deplorable lurk of eolt -confidence in their powers as religious teachers, lyirtieuiarly VOLUNTARY WORK. In this nee of development no woman afford to be idle, either mentally or i.hy.irnlly. She may material wealth of half a kingdom, anil yet still bo unable to atford idleness. She cannot afford it for th reason that it is practically im-Vossible for a woman to take bor nlaco in the world unless she has developed her-felf in one way or another. Society will not put up with her.

The world demands to be aimwd or interested and a woman vho refuses lo escrl herself physically 4 This, as the littlo American girl remarked, is a hard world for women. Wo never seem to do anything right. Whether we are frivolous or whether wo aro gay, someone is certain to tell us aud in print, too that we are all wrong. The only consolation is that it bus been the same ever since Eve ate that apple. Just nt present we are on the road to ruin, and dragging the nation with us; when peoplo look over their morning paper they read, first, the cables (wo will hope), and then turn the page ta find Out what is being said about us now.

Someoue says we eat the wrong foods; that we da nee too much; that our manners are bad aud our morals are worse; and while we are trying to recover from that blow, someone else chips in with the assertion that we are foolish enough to starve ourselves iu order that we may wear the new fashions with grace. Most of our critics are women who have forgotten what it is like to be young and silly, but this particular critic is man, and it sounds like one of the fool it things that meu do think us. If you look back through the volumes of "Punch" of the eighties you will come on a pirture of a lovely dti Manner "e.ieat-tion," with the sixteen-iuch waist that was regarded as a beauty in those times. A man is offering her strawberries and cream, and is saying to himself: "She'll take it: she'll eat it, but where will she put it Vf So yon see there is nothing new in this sort of criticism. The strange thing is that those faiiy-like proportions did not hurtle the nation to its doom, although thev had their critics just as we have.

IXi we stnrvo iu reality Go into any tea shop in any town at about II a.m., and you will probably conio to tho conclusion that, far from starving, we are a nation of cormorants. On every sido you will see 11111 I 1 llll'1 -4 hy Mil It is generally the peoplo who don't do any house, work who loudly proclaim its healthful effects At the same time bin) work would not be half so wearisome if only we made our brains save out feet. Work should be planned so that time and energy me not squandered in trotting from one pait of the house to another. For instance, work in the bedrooms should he carried ont in sequonce. Don't leave off dusting a bedroom and run downstair and start wasing up go from one thing to another methodically.

You'll save strength, lime and temper in this way. Then, again, suitable clothes aro just an neress.tr' for bouw work as for any other kind of work. Wear a loosely fitting overall with a belt round the waist and never wear coifets that in any way impede freedom of movement while working. Then comfy shoes are an absolute necessity. It'a a fatal mistake to wear out old shoes in the bouse, especially if fhoy have high heels or ore "run down." Nothing is more tiring.

The bent kind of shoe for house work is one with a low, broad heel, such as nurses wear. And make- a point of sitting down to a task whenever it is at all possible. There aro dozens of things which can be "lone just as well sitting as standing, peeling potatoes, stoning fruit, cleaning shoes it's merely a question of habit. Once you get into the way of doing things sitting you'll realise how much harder you've been working for years than you need have done. And if you value the appearance of your hands, make a practice of doing all the "dry' work togethor, and then the "wot" work.

For instance, don't blacklead a grate, then wash up, and then go and sweep and dust a room. That sort of thing is ruinous to the hands. If yon dust a room immediately after washing up when the hands aro soft, the dust will pene-tmte the open pores, and harden and darken the skin. It you get into fhe way of doing all and "diys" you won't bo lor ever washing your hands, and life won't be such a giddy dashing from one thing to another.

And what man does the sumo i CROCHETED JACKET AND BONNET. or snop is always planned to save time ami energy, so surely method and time saving are equally important in the home, for no amount of work in ofliro or shop is half as tirinir as house work can be. ably if they are normal youngsters-want to ftay at home or join other boys and girls in various games. They do not, however.

Their parents insist on them giving up on hour or so to religions struction, and just because public tennis courts are opened, it is hardly likely that p.ireuts will relax their coutrol. There may be some good little boys and girls in the world, who prefer Sunday school to anything' else on Sunday afternoon, but it would be rather a hopeless optimist who laid down such an hypothesis as a generally-proved fact. Xo one desires to detract from the work of religious toachcrs. They have as much' light as anyone else to follow out their convictions in regard to (he upbringing of children, but no one has any right to curtail the inclinations of others as long as they are carried ont decently and within the law, Any outcry agiiinsl healthy sport on Sunday is invariably aimed at the middle elassea and the poor. The rich, with' their private tennis courts, their great golf courses, and their motors to take them out of city, are free to enjoy tho fresh air and indulge in any life-giving exercise they may desire; but when those in less affluent circumstances, who probably live in small houses in crowded areas, seek respite from the close atmosphere of their homes, and a change from their work in offices and shops, by a friendly game of tennis on public courts erected specially for their benefit, there immediately nrises a dismal voice of protest.

Compared to the children who are likely to be adversely a fleeted by Sunday tennis, there is no limit to the benefit that will be derived from the exorcise by tho hundreds of young girls and men vho ate tdlert. It if doubtful, however. It. is tuily the dazzling beauty who seems to outshine an absence of personality, and unfortunately youth and beauty fade away and die, and beauty loses her lustrous eyes in th" cmiio of time, leaving little but a iri.Mnt t-bfll of schoolgirl mannerisms mid a vajnic srnse of doing the ris'nt tbiny.
