iPmqpmviiivi "WfTlp We will take the edges first, be cause they are the bases of all figure skating. Remember always to make your figures large that is essential to the beginner. In beginning the right outside edge, stand with feet together. Start by pressing with the edge, not the point, of the left skate. Turn the body so the right shoul der is almost directly over the right foot Hold right arm well up and curved around the breast about six inches away, and extend the left arm directly behind the body. Hold this position for one-half the circle. Then slowly carry the bal ance foot forward past the skating foot, turning the toe in and bending the knee of the balance foot as it is brought forward. Turn the body jradually as the left foot takes new position. The edge is 'finished with fhe left foot held quite high above the right The inside edges are much easier. Start for the right inside forward circle with a push of the edge of the left skate. ' At start of figure twist shoulders toward the right, bringing the left shoulder forward. Keep this position for about one-quarter of the circle, when you bring the shoulders slowly square with the print (the mark made on the ice by the skate) and from this point on bring the right shoulder slowly forward until at the vw end of the figure the shoulders are almost in line with the print. To coinplete an inside edge circle, bring the balance leg slowly forward and carry it past the skating lg, swaying the body from a forward to a backward balance. Bend the knee of the balance leg as it passes the-skating foot, then carry the bal- auce icg wcu iu uic jigui, uutuoa uie print and raised above the skating knee. Swing the arms slowly across to the left of the body as the balance leg swings forward. Finish the fig ure as close to the starting point as possible.

If a child cries from overfeeding, Its mother feeds it again and Its little stomach is kept distended, then when the child begins to hiccough, the mother flies to the sugar bowl a' remedy worse tharithe disease." ' My nurse says that when a baby begins to develop stomach trouble it is her plan to give the digestive organs a complete rest of from six to 12 hours, giving nothing except a teaspoonful of cool water every 15 or 20. minutes, and that she keeps the child outdoors as much as pos sible. She tells me that when this meth od is strictly carried out all nausea and vomiting will cease and a small amount of nourishment may be giv en and it vVill be found the baby will retain and digest it This Ib the method I shall pursue with my baby if she needs it My nurse tells me constipation, as well, is generally due to overfeeding. The. tiny stomach, overburdened with, food, cannot digest properly each new supply of milk vftiich comes in contact with semi-digested coag ula of the preceding meal and the mass will pass into Vie Intestinal
