When to Wind a Watch.

1t was Fifth Avenue jewelry store.
"My WATCH" said gentleman to the
salesman, exhibiting a closely repeater
varies minute week. 1t ought to
keep time to the second, and so you
represented TO me when | purchased it,.
Look at it"
Tue salesman critically examined the
works through his glass closed the case
and handed the timepiece to its owner.
There is nothing the matter with
your watch. 1t will keep perfect time
if you wind it in the morning.
"Ob," laughed the gentleman. that's
a chestnut. l wind it at certain hour
at night"
That has nothing to do with it,
responded the clerk. During the night
your watch is quiet as itwere. That is
it hangs in your vest without motion OF
touch. If you don't wind it at night
the handspring is then relaxed instead
OF being in that condition during the
day. BY winding it in the morning the
main spring remains close aud tight all
day. 1t keeps the movement steady at a
time when you are handling it, running
around and more or less Earring it as
you hasten about the city attending to
your daily offalrs. A relaxed main.
spring at tlis time accounts for fine
watches varying slightly. Try it and
you Will find that am right.

The STOPPING Habit.

One OF the greatest and most comm on
deformities of the day that are thus laid
bare by the prevailing styles of men and
women's attire is one that, with little
care and attention can be remedied. Ii
is the round shouldered or STOPPING
habit. | say habit, because as rule
it results from habit. Look through
this car. Even the best natural figures
show this tendency to stoop while in
the narrow chested it is marked to a

About Kid Gloves.

KID gloves especially demand care in
the keeping. In buying kids examine
the fingers separately and look for
broken stitches. II when stretching the
fingers the thread pulls away from the
kid leaving white spot, the gloves will
not wear we'll. When the kid stretches
easily and seems elastic, it is likely to be
good quality, but if it is stiff or uny ield
ing it vii! neither fit or wear well.
Always get a glove large enough. If
they are so narrow as to require stretch
ing they never will look as well as if
tire hand was Tie first stretcher. If
they are short fingered they convert the
hand into a positive deiormity, and do
not wear half SO long as when they are
of the proper size.
A great deal depends upon how the
gloves aIe put on Tie FIRST time. The
hands should be dry and cool, if they
are at all moist they should be well
powdered. First, work on the fingers,
keeping the thumb outside the glove.
When the thumb is put in, place the
elbow OF tho knee and work the glove
down smoothly. Button the second
! button first aud SO on to the top, leaving
the fist button till the last. This may
seem a little thing but it makes con-
| siderable difference in the appearance
and fit OF the glove. The greatest strain
is on the first button and when this is
partially relieved by the fastening of the
other buttons, the drawing OF seams
tearing of the kid, or charging of the
buttonEoie is prevented.
When removing gloves never begin al
the tips of the fingers to pull them off
