FENCING FROM THE STANDPOINT OF
PHYSICAL CULTURE
0t r< ALUTE. young ladies!" And at
V. the sound of the fencing mas
. J ter's voice a score of Kirls
swing into position, bodies that
are inert quiver with excitement
of a coming bout with foils, eyes
sparkle with excitement and there fol
lows a ring of steel against steel, tell
ing that th* fencing lesson has begun.
"It Is marvelous what I have been
able to accomplish with my class," con
fided the enthusiastic master during a.
rest in the daily practice. "When I
took them six months ago they were
a xv kward and ungainly, hardly a single
movement had grace and attractive
ness. Now look at them. Are they not
quick, sinuous, alert and well devel
oped young ladies? Where could you
find a more graceful carriage, a greater
amount of suppleness and lightness?
Ah. believe me, there is nothing In all

fetn4nine figure as fencing, and no girl

should neglect taking lessons with the
foils for at least orfe year If she looks
forward to a successful * social career,
where grace counts for almost as much
as beauty.
"Fencing lessons will do more for the
Improvement of the feminine outline
than any other exercise. A girl who is
too Etout can not. fence well, so if she
practices regularly the surplus fat dis
appears as If by magic And the girl

Fashions for Home Made Lingerie
DIMITY Instead of plain nainsook
or fine linen is just now extreme
ly popular for all kinds of under
wear, tnd for the girl who makes all
or a great part of her own lingerie
this Is a fad well worth knowing of,
for dimity, having a pattern of its
own, calls for far less trimming than
& plainer fabric. Dimity of a pretty
check or stripe design requires little
more adornment than a single edging
of lace and perhaps some little tuck
ing, whereas all batiste undergarments
are profusely trimmed with hand em
broidery and countless Insertions of
lace.
. Both night dresses and chemises are
ridiculously, \u25a0imple to make, and If a
girl will only keep herself supplied
In these two departments of her lln
rerie she will have sufficient saved
to buy what else she may desire*
The prettiest pattern for, a summer"
nightgown Is square cut, low neck,
"with short kimono or ccp sleeves', the
only trimming; being a fiat band of
beading sufficiently wide for a one
Inch ribbon about the - -neck and the
same at the end of the sleeves. An
edging of lace an lncn or less in width
and perhaps a few rows of tucks
run below the beading will make, as
attractive a nightdress as could be de
eirei This gown slips on over the
head, the ribbons being tied in front
at each corner, so that there no
troublesome /buttonholes and button
slips to make. v •
It is an excellent plan to buy, one
night dress of an especially pretty de
sign and good fit as a sample ' from
which to cut the others. If, however,
a girl does not feel that she can ex
pend ,so much u» really pretty gown
costs khe can" buy ; a paper: pattern
which will answer all requirements
and Is, in , fact, easier to cut from.
For chemise and corset cover as well
as nightdress a square neck is now
preferred to a round or V shape. Not
only is the square more becoming, but
over this shape the waist will be found
to fit better and - also give a wider
shoulder line.
If a chemise is worn instead of a
corset cover It crust not be' longer than
a few inches below the waist, else ' It
will cause "the skirt of the dress* to
fit badly. A v girl-can not commence
too young: to see to it that her.under
skirts end coreet cover fit smoothly
in order that her outer ./dress will
look trim and neat and all unneces
sary fullness and wrinkles J - be . avoid?
the foils. Fencing seems to smooth
out all the Imperfections of contour.
And that is not Its greatest advantage.
The quick movements required In prac
tice will quicken the sluggish tempera
ment. Fencing improves the vision,
because a fencer must learn to see
quickly and the body learns to move In
the most graceful attitudes. Fencing
means grace. One can not, become ex
pert with the foils without acquiring
sinuous and attractive poses and the
movements learned in this sport are
used unconsciously in every other. A
cd. For this Yeason , a fitted corset
waist is preferable to a chemise, which,
unless it . is fitted in at* the waist with
the lower part of skirt added separate
ly below a band of beading, is sure to
interfere with the fit of the shirtwaist
and skirt worn over it.
Cheap lace . is of All things to be
avoided on underwear, and if a girl
can not ' afford a really good Valen
ciennes she should content herself with
flna embroidery. For. a young girl the
most attractive undergarments are of &
sheer quality of linen, trimmed only
with hand scalloping and perhaps some
simple design of hand embroidery. The
open English embroidery is now pre
ferred \to L the \ French and * Swiss work,
tnd tb'i Is, of course, the most effec
tive. Also Irish lace, or rather baby
Irish edging and insertion, have taken
the place for, the moment of 'the finer
Valenciennes, which, exquisitely, pretty
as It is when first put on, never looks
well after the. first washing. Irish," on
the other hand, Ib, if anything, im
proved by soap, water and ironing.
When she is making her own lingerie
a girl^should; always turn out 'her
undergarments \u25a0 in , complete sets and
not wear a lace trimmed chemise with
an embroidered corset waist or a* petti
coat trimmed? with one kind of a lace
and a waist of another design.
Naturally, : too, of course, all gar
ments must be trimmed with the one
shade of ribbon. This summer white
ribbon is preferred tor the under waist
and petticoat when a gown of sheer,
texture is worn, and satin Is now in
vogue rather than the wash ribbon
formerly so fashionable. The satin,
however, must be double faced.
It is as important today for a petti
coat .to^haveYlts" band; of Inch: wide
beading with '\u25a0'. ribbon/ run' through " v as
for, the • corset 1 :; waist ' itself ' to ibe * thus
adorned. Beading can always be added
to a skirt above the 'flounce,- and -if -the
skirt itself is of sufficiently good qual
ity and trimming It is^well worthw hile
to add this i little finish should 1 the skirt
have been bought -without It. : -

-"THE first attitude assumed by the
| fencer as she steps forward or to
the center of the field before plao
lng herßelf on guard. Is as follows:
Stand with the body, erect, heels Just
touching and toes pointed out. the right
toe in a straight line with that of "the
opponent and the left foot at a sharp
angle to the 1 right. While the body is
held erect it is swung "lightly to the
right, thus presenting a three-quarter
view to the adversary. .The sword hand
Is held on a line with the head. The left
arm Is allowed to swing at the side,' not
close to the body, however, and with
the palm of the hand turned outward.
The salute is a picturesque posture;
and is a preliminary to the battle.
While in the position Just described the
fencers stand' at the correct distance
from each other, this being determined
by the length of arms and foils, and the
arms of both' fencers fall gracefully at
their sides, the buttons on the foils Just^
touching the floor. They should' strike
it a little toward the left of the right'
foot. At a signal both fencers step for
ward, raising the right arm until It is
on alevel with the top. of the head,
blades extended. The hands then drop
to a line with the chin, almost touching
It, and the blades continuing upright.
With a quick movement they speed
downward and to the right, this being
one of the most attractive -and graceful
of the fencing movements. ,j
With another quick movement the
blade Is brought forward and the, tip of
the foil grasped in the left hand, both
arms raised over the head, and after a'
second or two the left hand falls to the
side slowly and half bent, elbow down
and the hand on a line with the ear.

fingers pointing upward.while the right

and gracefully above the head,- allow
the left hand to loosen ' Its grasp . and

outstretched, so that . the open palm Is
on a , level with the head. Then move
the right hand to the front, just a trifle
below the breast and to the' right, with
the elbow coming close to the body.
Hold the foil in a horizontal position,
so that its tip is on a line with, the
eyes. Now advance the- right ; foot

the right heel on a line with the^left.
and allow the weight of the body to
fall equally on both feet, so that ons

former position close to the body until,
it moves straight out-; at the same
height as the shoulders. The body
should never be the least bit rigid in
this position. In fact pliability Is one
of the greatest qualities of the skillful
fencer. Neither should' the /body be

right foot a trifle, keeping the knee
directly in line with the lns\ep. Do
not lean forward or . backward. : except
when advancing or retreating, and be

Some Smart Hats Easily Trimmed
IT is somewhat a pity- that the lin-'
gerie hats are no^longer worn — they
were so universally becoming, so at
tractive to make one's self and withal
so singularly appropriate with the
style of simple morning, dress for
which they were designed. However,"
no fashion can remain forever in fa
vor, and the s.traw hats with large
Alsatian bows of lace bordered lawn
that are now so .smart are' certainly
extremely effective.;'

this year to be decidedly "sporty** -In

start is always made with the right

the first rules given by the Instructs*
is to ' take small steps, never lonf]

the novice. "Tierce" means when
the fencers have their foils crossed

The regulation fencing costume Is
one of the most picturesque of athletia
attire. Short skirts are essential and
sometimes they are accordion pleated.
The plain gored skirt is as practicable
as any. School girls often wear their
gymnasium suits, and when they prac
tice In the open air they don sweaters.
The athletic field or the lawn outside
the- gymnasium is an excellent prac
tice ground for the fencing classes, and
instructors have found that girls like

do foil practice indoors.
