SCOPÆ EXERCISE FOR GIRLS.

Young women in search of physical culture are respectfully referred to the following rule, laid down by Mrs. Bridget Maguire, of New York:—

“Take the scopæ in the hands, which should be held at half reach reversed grasp, allowing the bushy portion of the scopæ to rest upon the floor, and holding firmly to the upper end of the handle. Bend the body slightly forward, give the arms a horizontal movement, lift the scopæ slightly, and move one foot before the other. Repeat these movements until the scopæ has been brought in contact with every portion of the floor.”

P. S.—Scopæ is Latin for broom.
