Show GIRLS ON THEIK MUSCLE Growing Tendency of American Girls 10 Cultivate Their Sinews The attempt of our women to get back to the stalwart condition of their ancestral mothers ought to be encouraged by everyone every-one who loves his race especially the prospective part of it For those mothers on the Saxon side were sturdy dames who never heard of neuralgia or chloral who could live in big stone castles without with-out getting the influenza and could letdown let-down a draw bridge singlehanded when a lover came home from the wars The movement in favor of Saxon female recuperation began about ten years ago I says a writer in the New York Times by i a few men who loved the race especially the prospective part of it The current I woman of fashion at that time had not I enough vertebra to keep her head from j falling on her shoulders at the scent of a I tube rose every time she winked she had I a distinct emotion her ankles doubled I over if she went up one pair of stairs she 1 couldnt shop for an hour without a ph ton an elevator two electric bells I and four cash girls she couldnt sign a marriage certificate without a doctors certificate first and she couldnt nurse her own child without taking laughing I gas or chloroform Her white arms were like a willow stem and when her husband hus-band kissed her on the cheek it left a red I mark which she covered up with court plaster I That woman is passing away The belle of the future has biceps thanks to Billy I Edwards and the select glove tournaments tourna-ments She doesnt pound a piano but I a sandbag She doesnt waste her time in Irnnplrinrr rmf ptlinvon nnl ilmni Siieknockoutthcciiamberrnaidandttlie I She knocks out the chambermaid and the first best man It is not eightbuttoned gloves but boxing gloves that have done this Her flexor longis and flexor brevis swell out beautifully She doesnt put up her fan when she is insulted I but her hands When the time comes for her to embrace her husband she will not die of I I syncope or inflammation of the lungs if he returns the embrace It is breezy to see such a bride at the altar provided the male attachment is correlatively massive mas-sive As she puts her dainty maulers out for the ring she will say with good old i Saxon fiber Put it there my hearty and when the interesting ceremony is over she will take her husband into i I chancery and followed by the first best man go away to a life of many rounds I and triumphs Others of the current beauties have been tugging at the weary oar to cet their soft shoulder blades into place They are stroke oars their backs are freckled and their necks are the color of the Atlantic Monthly They eat like pilots they splice the main brace like longshoremen they have the grip of a stevedore they rather hanker after a son wester they wear heavy underclothes without frills and have cut their bangs and bangles off because they interfered with business A wife who can pull a skiff five miles in the sun isnt going to retire to a convent when j I her husband stays out after 12 A domestic do-mestic breeze will not scare her and when her baby is baptized she will Jiqt insist on its wearing a waterproof suit and going to the ceremony with an umbrella um-brella The current girl who can ride a mustang is worth consideration Why her grandmother grand-mother used to jump on a bareback white mare and go down to the meadow for the cows So the grandmother neednt be ashamed if she does live in a Fifthaye palace Nothing can be finer than to seethe see-the New York belle of a morning breaking break-ing her Indian pony on the mail The rage for fiery untrained steeds has done much to correct the lassitude of the prospective pros-pective race III the efforts to enlarge the sphere of the contemporaneous woman nothing has proved so efficacious as cricket or baseball base-ball When the C W first took up baseball base-ball she was a little limp on tho pitch and scattered a little on the home base She caught a ball with her head over her shoulder and had an abnormal fear of being be-ing struck below the belt But these absurd things have passed away with development de-velopment Besides the exercise did away with her acute sensibilities and when she gets married it is not unusual to see her pitching the baby for practice prac-tice These athletic stimulants of the prospective pros-pective race have increased the beauty of the current woman They have given her arm an executive swing She lives more from tho shoulders so to speak She has developed a taste for rare beef that drips and the passion for caramels has died out and there is si reasonable hope in the breasts of the men who love the prospective race that in another generation we shall have got back to Godiva and Brunhilde and our restored homes will renew for us the Nibelungen days dayshe pride that the contemporaneous 1in < rimml hikes in his athletic bride is one of the most promising signs of the time I There is Dick Foversham who appeared I on the Stock Exchange with one eye closed and looking as proud as a mother I who has had triplets When they said to him Why dont you have it painted I while you wait 1 ho drew himself up i with conscious dignity What said I he disguise it What are you thinking about My wife did that I happened to say the muffins were cold and she quietly remarked Put your hands up Then she countered with her right and i landed me with her left Twas the prettiest thing you over saw I wouldnt I cover it up for the best tip on tho market I Then he went and had it photographed photo-graphed I |
