out of its box it was found to be in a

Hypnotism or hypnotic suggestion is

Ready Made Walking Skirts.

Several leading dry goods houses in
the city make a speciality Of the sale of
simple and stylish ready made walking
skirts, the bodices of which can be
quickly made of like fabrics of a plain
contrasting material, or be worn with
one of the new prettily shaped and
trimmed French jerseys. These skirts
are really great convenience, as most
women are in haste some time or other
for quiet utility dress suitable for walk
ing or shopping uses. Plenty of time is
given to gowns for great occasions, but
every day, ordinary dressing is too often
done without time or forethought.
This is the reason why we so frequent
ly see such lamentable figures on the
street, particularly in the morning
hours, the same people turning out per-
fectly appointed and beautifully gowned
later on in the day, in the park, at the
art galleries or for afternoon calling
This is not desirable.
The sight is a species of disillusion-
ment unfavorable to women in general,
and prejudicial to individual members
of such hasty class There is some
thing of the old curl paper idea about it
which is not pleasing. Ergo, blessings
on the originator of the ever ready dress
skirts that are now exhibited. They are
simple, stylish; neat and inexpensive

Sound Advice About Exercise.

The craze for severe exercise has been
growing among women for thepast three
or four years, until now it is question
whether more injury than benefit is not
derived from it. There is no doubt that
women need certain amount of exer-
else. The good effects of brisk mile
walk in the morning, and another before
retiring at night is undeniable. An
hours ride on horseback may be added
to this, if woman is not too delicate.
The women who take the regular daily
walks of from five to ten miles, and re-
main for hours in the saddle, on a big,
powerful, hard gated trotter, are inva-
riably Gin this country the slight, nerv-
GUS, wiry little creatures who have not
pound Of flesh to lose. Consequently,
this wear and tear on their strength and
nerves will in time cause collapse,
especially if this violent exercise has
been adopted after living for years life
of Incidence. Could stout women be
persuaded to overcome the feeling of
extreme fatigue, which they experience
after their first long walks, and continue
them regularly, and at rapid gait, as
near running as possible, for a few
weeks, the burden of superfuous flesh
would soon be reduced, and their former
activity return. The trouble is that the
wrong women do the exercising.
Do not carry it to extremes. Cut down
your walk to two or three miles day
Take your ride in the morning and limi
it to an hour. You cannot get too much
fresh air, so drive and stroll out of doors
as much as you can, but do not wear ou
your body and bring premature lines
into your face by excessive exercise
