enable her to rise IN her carriage anu
bow to her enthusiastic subjects.
Very strong springs are arranged
under the carriage seat, and when the
procession moves she can, by simply
pressing button at her side, be eie-
waited into the attitude of acknowl-
edgment as often as the cheers of the
lookers-on require. These might be
called mechanical bows" but the

compartment Of smiles.
A Pleasant Remembrance.
Some one the, other day thought of
this about calendar, says HG7peT's s
Bazar. A daughter was to go away,
TO be gone long time, on the other
side of earth. So the mother, think
ing to bring her good cheer, bought
her calendar.
Now the ordinary calendar differs
little from it's fellow, except happily
now and then in the way of quoted
phrase, or blithesome child, or maybe
decorative fruit or flower. More than
that, no ordinary calendar seems an
individuals very own. AS how could
it, with it's counterpart on anybody's
desk, and it's mates all manufactured
by the dozen?
But the calendar this mother made
could be duplicated by no one, for
this is what she did. Below the date
on each leaf there was a blank space.
She therefore took the calendar apart.
sending its 365 leaves to as many diff
ferent friends and relatives asking
each to write some sort OF q saluta-
tion on this blank space below the
date. When these were returned they
were bound together again and the
calender was given to the daughter,
who knew nothing OF what had been
done. She was made to promise.
however, to tear off no leaf until the
day had dawned when the leaf was
due.
What source of delight such a cal
ender would be to an exile from home
can easily be imagined. Every day
different greeting from different
friend! Every day new surprise.
and never to know till the morrow
what friend was to send word or
good cheer.
The one addition this mother might
make on another calendar of its kind
would be to ask each friend to keep a
record OF the date when the greeting,
as it were, fell due; then to remember
both greeting and date, SO that when
the exile read it in one of these far
away countries she and her friends at
home might, for moment at least,
stand consciously face to face.
Don't Put Coin in the Mouth.
II can tell you,n said a prominent
physician to a representative OF the
CaW "what is a fruitful source of dis
ease" ''And what is itY" I'm riding
in the street cars you have no doubt
seen passengers, particularly women,
take a. piece of coin from a pocket
book and place it between the lips
while waiting for the conductor to
come along. tits habit formed by
many and most dangerous one. "
"Why?" Ibid you ever for a mo-
ment think" continued the physician,
where piece of coin may have been
before it came into your possession; to
what use ii may have been put, or
where its place of lodgement was? l
have known OF many instances
in which coin has been
used to close the eyes OF
leperous Cinnamon. Then again there
are certain class of women who are
superstitious and believe that If they
will place in their stocking the first
piece of coin they receive in the day
luck will follow them all the day long.
and how many are there who carry
money in their boots or shoes and
draw is from there as necessity de-
mandsY Just think of money that has
been used in the manner | have de-
scribed being placed between the lips
of any one--man or women. Money
carries with it many a blessing, bat 1t
also carries many a curse, for bright

OF many disease, which is communi-

A Fine Figure.
Fine proportions for WON an are a
small head, shoulders rather slopina
and narrow. the torso full and widest
at the hips, while the front line from
the sternum over the abdomen should
show first gentle and then full out
ward curve.
The conventional figure of the day
is at variance with this type. Every
effort is made to initiate masculine
characteristics. The shoulders are
thrust up high and square, or made
to appear SO, the torso is made tc
TAPER III, anu every thiuS uuool uoe'
is done to make waist look small.
The front line is forced to take an In
ward curve below the bust and the
side lines to form an awkward angle
in the hollow of which voluminous
skirts are hung.
/ One should study sculpture with the
new knowledge of these proportions
most thoughtfully, till the rhythm o
the lines has fastened itself upon the
memory. Studying the pictures Q
| the best artists OF every age, we shall
find these principles everywhere
demonstrated.
The charm of womanly proportion
is in the long curve from armpi
to ankle, which is SO different from
the beauty of manly figure
