TIGHT LACINa.

I have seen women so tightly laced
that they actually fought fol- breath. I
God 80 made the hea TT that It must
have room to open and shut, and the
lungs must have room to be filled with
air. TO give them room and keepany
thing from pressing them, God has
built around them a bone fence.
When the waist is tightly laced, the
ribs are pressed in upon the heart and
lungs, and neither of them has room
to do its work properly. If they could
speak for themselves, what Ia terrible
outcry the poor, suffering hearts and
lungs would make It is astonishing
how many women are dissatisfied
with the way the Lord ma de them.

IMPURITY.

Purity precedes all spiritual attain
ment and progress. However beauti-
full your face, and varied your attain-
ments, and charming your social quail
ties, you are nothing without purity
only tinkling cymbals. An impure
woman outrages all our holy ideas Of
womaphood, all proper conceptions OF
true beauty. A French author writes,
Beauty unaccompanied by virtue Is 9
flower without perfume" She Is not
beautiful, however complete on the
outside, who is faulty and unsightly
within.

I can never cease wondering how

no sleeve dresses. A really modest
