stWhat kind of exercise do they most

"What kind of exercise do they most
prefer9" was asked.
''It ISN'T so much what they prefer, but
what is best for them. The only way to
properly exercise is to do it systemati-
cally, and we have regular course ar
ranged for this purpose. First, we take a
measurement of the different parts of the
body. Then we generally start off with
chest exercise, then the waist, then the
limbs. Some ladies have q medical ex-
animation to ascertain if they are in
sound condition, or to learn If there are
any weak spots in their body that should
have extra exercise, particularly regard
ing the heart and lungs. If any weak
spots are found these are strenthened
first. From experience we find that as
rule the chief defects in the constitutions
of the young women of the present day
are weaknesses of the back and waist
and next the arms. Their preferences
here are for chest-developing exercise,
and they seem to detest most that which
develops the waist-they don't want
large waists"
"Have you any records of what your
young lady pupils have done during their
exercising?"
'I do not keep any, for the pupils do
not like the idea of having it talked
about. But can give you several One
young lady who was exercising here be-
came 80 strong that she lifted on the
hoalth-lift 700 pounds. Another who
took to vaulting, who was only nineteen
years old, vaulted five feet. This was
splendid leap for woman. Last year
young girl began exercising who was
twelve years old, but who weighed
ninety y-eight pounds. She began here
because she was threatened with curva-
ture of the spine. In six months she
grew three inches in height, and her
chest girth was increased in its expansion
two inches, making her chest expansion
four inches. This was remarkable when
you take into consideration that the
average chest expansion is only about
two inches. A young woman about
twenty years old, who was partly
paralyzed through shorthand writing
and telegraphing, began exercising a
short time ago and is now quite we'll and
strong. Special work for every muscle
on the surface of the body is the only
sure way of successful exercising"

Reform in Shoes.

s'We fnd," said a fashionable shoe
maker to Philadelphia Press reporter,
as he twisted a porpoise-leather shoe
string around his forefnger, "that women
have virtually discarded fashion in shoes
and I believe it is chiefly due to the
newspapers. You remember four or
five years ago, when high-heeled shoes,
were the thing2 Well, everybody wore
them, even the old women. knew one
little lady over eighty years old who
wore high-heeled shoes and slippers un-
til she died. In order to make woman's
foot look small the high heel was set for
ward until it was under the ball of the
foot. There is no doubt that such shoes
are very injurious, and that more than
one woman has ruined her feet by wear
ing them. The newspapers made an
outcry against the fashion and the people
came to their Senses"
ssDo not Philadelphia women wear
stylish shoes2'
"Yes, and they wear very expensive
ones, too. But everything is changed
now There is really no set fashion in
shoes. Women here are very sensible
about their feet. AS rule they have
small feet, and can afford to look to COM
fort combined with style. Werarely put
q high French heel on shoe now, except
in the case of some one very short who is
anxious to look tall. It is more the
proper thing here than anywhere know
to wear low, broad heels, set in the
nroner nlace on the shoe. and I don't
know of any street in any city where you
see more stylish girls, feet and all, than
you do on Chestnut street. But low
heels are not all the improvements.
Everybody must wear square-toed shoes
now; in fact, the most fashionable thing
to do is to wear the most thoroughly COM
Portable shoe. Men are coming around
to the same idea. Not even the dude
thinks of cramping his feet now. They
have come to the conclusion that women
like men best who look as they had
something to stand on"

Fashion Notes.

Bird jewelry is popular.
Welcome the low, broad shoe heel.
Fleece-lined merino hose insure warm
feet.
England is the home of plush. France
uses fur.
Pink and flesh tints in evening gloves
are in again.
Exquisitely painted gauze fans are
charming, but useless.
Yellow plush is trimmed with either
white fox or dark brown fur.
A Russian novelty is sheepskin with
the fleece left on, for millinery.
Madeira hand-embroidery is durable
and appropriate for undergarments.
Copper and red gold galloons are used
for trimming plush and silk dresses.
Many of the Japanese jackets are beau
tifully embroidered with Oriental figures.
Braiding in cane pattern laid over
colors is used to trim costumes Of serge.
Velvet costumes are plainly made
and are edged with rosary, jet or lead
beads.
Small rufles of lace or velvet are
secured beneath a tiny knot OF real
flowers.
Double mufs-that is, one for each
hand-are concealed in the ends OF
mantles.
Fur capes no longer have ultra high
shoulders, and they reach little below
the waist.
Necklaces and collarettes are again
worn with low dresses, but they must fit
tight and close round the throat.
Metal repousse and flagree buttons
and engraved pearl buttons have cloak
clasps and dress buckles to match.
Shoulder capes have a monks hood
lined, not very appropriately, with
striped satin of two shades.
Collars of velvet or satin are en-
broidered with glass beads of all colors,
metal beads, and also wooden beads of
all sizes.
Satin shoes are made low in the instep
and trimmed with fiat bows, or they are
prettily embroidered without further
decoration.
Soft materials in cream color, with
corselet, sash, and shoulder knots OF
rich toned velvet, are favorites with
young girls.
A charming combination is myrtle
green satin, sea-green satin and myrtle
green brocaded velvet in a lace-work
pattern over sea-green.
Tea gowns are most exquisite, and 80
popular is plush as the principal feature
that it must be used as trimming, If the
whole garment, indeed, is not made of it.
Every fabric worn by their elders may
be worn by children, but new goods OF
French manufacture are being received
they are in woods and have small figures
of pretty design.
A charming little evening wrap OF
sapphire velvet shows great pink
roses stamped upon the surface and I'm
ished by deep fringe of blue chenille,
tipped with smooth-pointed pendants.
Violet and light blue, plum color and
yellow, green and pink, and purple and
red are combinations dear to the eye OF
the average Partisan, but they sound fear
fully. In the practised hand OF the ar
tist the effect is fine.
Tailor-made costumes, that is, those
made by the tailors who make specially
of such, and not the dressmakers, who
embellish the dress so that one is justl-
fed in saying their specially is bill OF
items, continue in the severely plain
style in which they were first made, and
are a boon to many ladies whose patience
is completely exhausted in trying to
keep pace with fashions frivolities.

How She Became an Heiress.

A most remarkable case of good for
tune has come to light by which SER
want girl at one of the hotels in Toledo,
Ohio, becomes heiress to one of the
largest estates in England. Nearly
twenty years ago the only daughter of
General Rutledge Greg, of the British
army, eloped from her home in Sunder-
land, England, with Charles O'Conner,
one of her fathers hostlers. He was a
handsome young fellow, and Annie Greg
had as pretty face as could be found IN
all England. Furious at his daughters
disgrace the old general disinhcrited her,
and until few months ago would have
no communication with her, the letters
which she wrote home year or two after
her marriage being all returned unopened.
Young O'Conner and his bride settled in
the county Sligo, Ireland, where he led a
precarious existence. Six children were
born to them, one of whom, Annie
O'Conner, now eighteen years old, came
to this country about a year ago. Her
only relative here was paternal uncle.
She got work as chambermaid at the
New York House, one of the cheap
hotels here. Last summer General Greg's
wife was taken ill and besought her hus-
band to send for their daughter. He
finally relented and wrote for her to come
home and to bring her husband and
children with her. They sailed on q
Glasgow steamer last September, but the
boat was overtaken by terrible storm
and foundered, many on board being lost,
among the number the entire O'Connor
family. The old general subsequently
learned the address of the gfandchild
who had come to Toledo, and he wrote
to her to come to him at once. The let
ter received recently at Toledo gives the
above particulars and was the first init.
nation Miss O'Connor had of her parents
fate and of her own good fortune.

Singleton respite, and he felt in excel
lent spirits as he sat in the Gining-room
thinking of Lefty, when his nephew en-
tered.
"Unclc, I'll thank you for that check
of $40, O00."
'iWhat-what the deuce do you mean,
sir2"
"only this, sir; I was married this
afternoon"
"Jack, are you fooling me9"
'Indecd, 1 am not. My wife is out
side in the hall. Will you receive her,
sir?" and Jack left the room before he
got an answer to return in a moment
with slight and shrinking figure cling
ing to his arm. As she cast one implor-
ing look into the old mans face he ex-
claimed cxcitcdly:
sLctty Larendon"
'Mrs. Jack Singleton, if you please,
sir" explained his nephew.
ooh! sir, I hope you will forgive
jack" Lefty pleaded as she caught the
hand of Uncle Silas between her own
soft palms. ''Indced, indeed, it wasn't
his fault. 1 taught him to love me long
ago, but he was too bashful to confess it
until he learned you had spoken to me in
his behalf night before last"
"Spoken in his behalf" the old man
echoed with a look of astonishment.
'Oh! yes to be sure. So you see, Jack,
won wife for YOU"
"And you will forgive US, uncle" u" with
tender emphasis on the word italicized,
'for our hasty marriage without your
knowledge" said Lefty.
"You see, sir" Jack explained, II
was bound to get that $40, ,0Oo."
"And you shall have it, boy, and with
it very foolish old mans blessing on
you both. ."-NeW York News.

COOPERATION.
Revived Interest in This Plan of solv-
ing the Labor Question.
Especial Correspondence.l

New YORK, Nov. 22.-Everybody agrees
that the largest problem Of modern times and
civilization is the labor question. Many PEG
pie hold that its solution, though not likely
to be rapid, may be rendered certain by Co
operation. A cooperation congress was last
month held In Milan, Italy, and the detailed
reports of the great meeting, lately published,
have served to revive the somewhat waning
interest in cooperation here. Indeed 1t
would not be surprising If divers cooperative
enterprises were organized before spring as
the result Of this revival, though people have
not yet forgotten the i'll fortune that befell
Kate Fields big cooperative 'heme in New
York not so very long ago.
was talking the other day with an ardent
supporter Of the theory that cooperation Will
finally prove to be a panacea for all our woes,
and I cited the failure alluded 70 as reason
why people might object to putting their
money UP in further experiments in that
direction.
The trouble with cooperation here he
replied, has been that we have begun our ell
terprises Of that sort on too grand scale
The same trouble obtains in Italy, though CO
operation has advanced further there than
here. In England, where the principle has
had the faireSt trial and achieved the great
est results, cooperation commenced on a
modest and minute scale, twelve workmen
setting aside their small savings until they
reached the sum Of f20, then taking room
I'm Toad lane, buying and selling their own
goods, the purchasers at first taking them
home themselves.
But it is not to cooperative stores that we
look for the greatest good, but to co-opera-
tive manufactures. George Jacob Holyoake,
the veteran cO-operator, who was present at
the Milan congress, said that the English CO.
operative magazines while producing excel
lent results, were nothing in comparison with
the cooperative workshops, which, he admit
ted, however, demanded greater patience,
faith and capacity. Their object he went
on, is to emancipate workers from employ
ers and middlemen by enabling them to be
come their own employers, equal among
themselves and receiving equal profits. As
individuals, we all belong to different rehg-
ious and political societies, but as co-opera-
tors we maintain strict neutrality. We have
succeeded in an unhOpcd for degree in i'm
parting morality TO commerce, prosperity to
industry; and every day increases the convic-
ton in each that only the welfare of all can
place the social organization on solid
basis"
The grand result of the congress at Milan
was the appointment Of a committee of fif
teen 10 promote the federation Of all the Co
operative organizations in Italy and TO dis
seminate the principles Of cooperation
throughout that country We may be sure
that its admirers this side Of the ocean will
watch its growth there NJ. j. DEXTER

Since the death of that venerable pat

Attorney STONES letter is exceedingly
refreshing reading FOL both Democrats and

They are delighted to see the mask lifted
The way the President flays him leaves
no doubt with the Democrats rs to where
the SympathieS of the Administration lie.
When charges were preferred against
Mr.. STONE ON Il former occasion, excuses
and explanations of friends the President
says, induced him ito believe that Mr..
STONES retention would insure faithful
performance of official duty; and that
whatever offensive partiSanShip he had
deemed justifable In other circumstances,
he would during his continuance in office
at his request, under an Administration
opposed to him in political creed and
policy, content himself with quiet and
unobtrusive enjoyment of his political
privileges"
When such leniency had been shown

a sense of propriety would cause him to
refrain from pursuing such a partisan course
as would wantonly offend and irritate the
friends Of the Administration who insisted
that he should not be retained in Office. "
