“PHYSICAL JERKS” CLASSES FOR GRANDMOTHERS.

Women who boast oi: growing old gracefully had better go out at once and buy a hoop, a skipping rope, and a couple of tops. Sir James Cantic, the eminent surgeon, who has started an anti-old age crusade for grandfathers at the College of Ambulance, is now out to speed up the grandmothers also. “All I said about men staying young after-fifty,” said Sir James Cantio to a- “Daily Express” representative recently, “is applicable to women, and [ have offered to start- a class for women over fifty.” , The dear old dowager who spends all clay knitting in an easy chair, although sentimentalised over by poets and painters, is just what Sir .James has no use for. He would far rather set' her taking a brisk walk and playing bears on all fours with her grandchildren. ‘ * Forget: dignity, “.advises Sir J ames, “take plenty of judicious exercise, and avoid damp as you Avould poison.”
