Get in the Swim! "Come on, fellows — let's go swimming!" What a welcome call it is to the man of life and action ! He gets out in the old sun and his muscles just seem to radiate. As he walks down the beach you can notice the admiring glances he receives. How Do You Look in Your Bathing Suit? ARE YOU SATISFIED with your physique? Look in the mirror tonight and see what it shows. Do you have the large square shoulders, the deep chest and brawny arm of the athlete? Do you have his pep and fire? If not, write me at once and I will surprise you with immediate results. The Short Route to Strength I have made a thorough study of all the various methods for producing a perfect physical development. I have tested them and applied them from a scientific •viewpoint. Combining a choice selection of these exercises with my own method of "PROGRESSIVE CONTRACTION" I develop my pupils to physical perfection in the shortest time possible. Improvement is noticeable in a few days' time and by one month you will hardly realize that you are the same man who had been so weak and undeveloped. Come then and get busy, for every day counts. IT IS FREE My system has never been challenged. It speaks for itself and convinces all who might wish to doubt it. My wonderful achievements are now well known throughout the athletic world. The st of people I have benefited runs into thousands, nd they are my chief asset in the spread of my usiness.

She told me that she still has a tV | year contract with the Vitagraph, wh( she will finish. "I shall always want to do something she said ; "I could never spend my aftd' noons playing bridge and my eveninj at dinner dances. That sort of thing dot not concern me. But I should like t be able to work at pictures only a part d each year. I am afraid that combining career and a successful home life canno be done, if one must work steadily. Ij simmers down to a mere question of physij cal vitality. Tonight, for instance, my', eyes have been slightly burned by the: lights today; I am tired and fit only for', bed. That is no way to go home for an\ dard, then the gre evening with one's husband." "Dont you think children complicate the dual possibility most seriously?" I asked. "I suppose so," said Alice, "but I love the complication, if it may be called so, of Alice." "How do you manage with her now?" "She goes to a little Concentration School here in New York at present, from nine until one. The rest of the day she plays out of doors. But Mr. Regan and I are thinking of taking a place on Long Island for the summer so that she may be out of doors steadily." Speaking of complications, personally, led us to speak of the complication of life in general. Miss Joyce thinks the main complication is the lack of selfknowledge. "We are all groping," she said, "half blinded, half in the dark. Then, unless we stumble on it suddenly, or unless we -have so much experience that all other considerations are burned away and we know just what to do by elimination, we stumble on. I only know one young girl who really knows herself, what she wants, and that is Blanche Sweet." ."Do you Know yourself?" I queried. "Oh, no . . . no. ..." . "Well," I said, with a grin, "what do you think is the most worth-while thing in this kaleidoscopic affair of living?" "Just the seeking, I suppose," said Alice, with her rather disarming gravity, "the seeking and the hoping to find?" "Do you," I prest on, with what I took to be a most subtle and wily cunning; "do you think that love is worth all the import it is given, in rhyme and reason?" Ah . . . then there was a light ! "Indeed I do," said the Honeymooner, "it is love that makes the world go round at all . . . without it . . ." she shrugged her shoulders . . . "there wouldn't even be life," she said .... The violet-handled, grey limousine, marked A. J. R., stopped at the Knickerbocker hotel and I alit and went my way, leaving Alice to await Mr. Regan. I had many thoughts, because Alice Joyce is a widely interested person. She is confined, mentally, to no narrow groove of thought. She thinks apace. I thought of the subject of getting into a rut and her admission thereon. I thought of the courage it must have taken her to make the step out she has; of her love for her work and her love of love. It came to me that, in picking up the sixpence, she will never miss the honeyed moon! ,/ A Temple in the Skies (Continued from page 47) home town. Somehow, he 'admits, he was never good for any kind of work, to his mother's sorrow, and in 1892 he quit his job, and went to Japan. On his return he decided to lecture again. He hired a hall and sent announcements to all the people on his mother's visiting list and in the Blue Book of Chicago. This lecture was a huge success. He says : "They all came out of curiosity. They wanted to see what that 'lazy Holmes boy' was up to now. Out of this venture he made ?700.UU, a nretty fair start for the ambitious youth he was He kept on with his interesting work of traveling, taking pictures and lecturing and was rewarded with some success But the year of 1897 was the most important one in his career : Stodard, then the greatest lecturer on travel, retired from the lecture platform in order to write books and left thevfield exclusively to Burton Holmes.
