Exercise for Thin Folks. When It comes to the question of exercise, the thin -woman will do well to remember tho old Greek warning, "Nothing too much." She assuredly needs a certain amount of gentle exercise every day, but she does not need and ought not to take up tho violent sports which will do the fat woman all the good In the world. There are two outdoor practices, how-over, which will be of great benefit to the thin woman. One of these Is walking, tho other Is swimming. When tho thin woman walks Bhe should not try to see how much ground she can cover In a certain period of time.

Let her walk quietly and at a moderate pace, paying particular attention to her breathing. Walking In tho fresh air will help you to breathe correctly, and it will also give you a splendid appetite for those three meals of good, wholesome food of which you ought to dispose dally. Swimming also Will aid your appetite, and It is positively tho best ttnd quickest way to develop the bust and shoulders. This Is the swimming season; don't fail to learn if you want to gain weight and a healthful symmetrical bodv. Hon.
