supsrilcial thing it everywhere Is. We
must have something of the stability
IN our styles of dress that charactcrizes
the clothes of mon.
At every national, state and county
exposition, we must have dress de-
partment, where the best materials will

Let US briefly rscapitulato some of the

BILE warmth to- the cntiro body. let its
distribution he Rs equal rs possible To
facilitate speed IN dressing md 60 ohyiate

whatever, rsst upon the hips, and il the
shoulder robol against the burden placed
upon them tighten them. Let the stock
ings DO suspended by means of an elastic
band from tho drawers If you End
marks Of impeded circulation upon the
| limbs. Let tho stockings be wooden il
they are not uncomfortable, if so,of fleece
lined, tho heavier tho better. Lcggins
are never TO DO d spensed with in this cli-
mate during the winter season. BE sure
and have tho soles of your shoes broader
than your feet, if you will walk with
ease and avoid corns and bunlons. To
insure warm feet in winter, not over
heated ones in summer, wear heavy solCs
the year round. The higher the tops OF
the boots the warmer the ankles, provided
they arc So loose that tho circulation Is

they must be frequently changed and

nervous affections, neuralgia and sick

Finally, if women will 1.-Two true to tn
