Sportsmanship is something every woman needs.
I suppose there is no woman in the world who does not, in her secret heart, long for beauty, or at least for a moderate share ot good looks. And yet to long passively and do nothing seems to be the general rule, and the plain woman sits down resignedly under her lot and never -seenu to realise that the power to improve her appearance lies, to a great degree, with herself.
In these days of emancipation for women, when practically every sort of sport is thrown open to them, I often wonder to see so many stunted, badly developed and weakly looking girls.
Round shoulders, narrow chests, poor complexions, superfluous fat and undue thinness — all these are things that detract enormously from the appearance, although a healthy indulgence in sports would do much to counterbalance them.

It develops the lungs and chest and makes deep breathing essential, and strengthens the muscles in every part of the body. Then, too, the cold water tones up the skin and sets it to pleasantly tingling, so that the complexion benefits also.
Yes, it's good fun being a Sports girl — but it's more than that, it's good policy. For the sports girl is an attractive girl, and that is what all women want to be if they have anything feminine in them !

women? I never have. They may not have beautiful features, but there is always something about them — a vigorous health and general air of whoJesomcncss that makes them somehow pleasing to the eye.
