Why Women Prefer Low Chairs.
One Of the things that no man ever
will or can understand is that women
invariably choose the lowest chair they
can find, usually selecting for solid
comfort one that is about six inches
from the floor. Schopenhauer's con-
temptuous allusion to them as the
''short-legged SEX" generally occurs
to him as the final solution Of the prob
lem, even though he be too polite out
wardly to hint at such a thing. That
is by no means the real reason, accord
ing to a bright little artist. Women,
she says, seem to know intuitively
when they are looking their best and
they that that rarely happens when
they are sitting on a chair sufficiently
high to make the feet bangle stiffly
downward, barely reaching the floor
In all the celebrated pictures Of sit
ting feminine figures the line from the
waist to the knee Is elongated as far
as possible, and it is to secure this
graceful, easy length Of line, as we'll
as for comfort. that that women in
stinctively turn to the low chair or
stool.

The Use of Naptha.

The greatest care should be observed
in the use Of naptha, which. while a
most valuable agent to clean delicate
laces, light silks and ribbons, is very
dangerous liquid. 1t is so extremely
volatile that ignition will take place
even when it is removed by the dis
lance across a room from a light, and
it never should be used except in the
day time. Articles cleansed by this
means should be promptly and thor
oughly aired. 1t is a good plan, the
Commercial bulletin suggests, when the
weather permits. to do the cleaning out
of doors leaving even the thing cIeansed
outside for a longer airing. The need
of this was recently emphasized TO an
uptown woman, who washed a num-
Der of gloves, some laceS and ribbons,
and fearing to leave them around the
room. as she was called away before
they were aired, buadied them into q
box, which she shut up in a trunk in a
closet. Later, she sent maid to get
them out, who took lighted candle to
the closet for the search. When the
trunk was opened a slight explosion
followed almost Immediately. Enough
of the gas from the naptha had been
generated and held in the confined
space to ignite as the candle fame ap-
preached. No serious results followed.

The edict comes from abroad that
sleeves have diminished more than
half in size. Close-fitting sleeves.
without the suggestion Of a puff or
stiffened lining, are to be the vogue.
Crinoline is already a thing Of the
past. Skirts require the same guam
tiV Of material, but their folds show
q tendency to droop demurely. The
fact is that the up-to-date woman
dressed according to the coming win
ter's fashions will occupy no more
space when she walks abroad than the
average man. Louis XVI. styles are
high In favor, and the coat of this
period will be seen in all sorts Of
gowns. Much lace and many imita-
ton jewels will also be in vogue to
submit to the sudden change. They
will still cling to the puff, but it will
be q dropping affair, made entirely
without stinening. All the fashionable
sleeves droop well of the shoulder,
and then suddenly expand into a puff.
This Is the latest sleeve for evening
gowns. Fashionable tailor-made frocks
will be made with a fitting
coat sleeve.

Bleaching aOrses.

At Batesyille, Ark, recent shooting
ARRAY brought to notice a woman
known as Sorrel Sue. She had always
appeared in public riding a sorrel
horse. 1t is believed she belonged to
a gang who stole horses.
A surgeon who was summoned to at
tend one Of her admirers, who had been
wounded in the row, misto0k his way
and wandered into Sues cabin. Be-
fore he could be hustled out he saw
things which aroused his suspicious.
These he reported to Sheriff Timcoe,
who, with posse, managed to sur
round the den of horse thieves, captur-
ing Sue and two of her gang. He
found that Sue had applied the means
of bleaching her own hair to that of
her horses. When the posse entered
they found horse enveloped in jack
ct made of rubber coats, being treated
to sulphur vapor bath. The appli-
ances were very ingenious and worked
very we'll.
A black or bay horse would be stolen
and run into the bleachery. After its
color was changed and its name and
tail trimmed the disguise became so
pronounced that without any risk the
animal could be taken in daylight
through the very district from which
it had been stolen. 1t was Sues bust
ness not only to superintend the

EAT TOO MUCH MEAT.
Americans too Prone to the C9asanue
Of Fleoh and Fowl

OF Flesh and Fowl
I'VE eat altogether too much meat,
anyway" said DR.. Cyrus Edison. the
health commissioner Of New York the
other day. Il venture to say that most
Of the ills we are heir to come from
habitual eating Of too much beef. II

foods. such as fish or a greater variety
Of vegetables. the beef combine as it
is called. will have been the uncon-
scious instrument of doing q vast
amount Of good. Fish is much better
food for city people than flesh raised
on land. 1t does not contain as great
a proportion Of those stimulative nu-
.trients that do so much to produce ner-
'vousness. Indigestion. constipation and
the host Of attendant disorders to the
human body for which the medical pro-
fession is SO continually called upon to
prescribe. Wage workers who earn
their living by physical exertion-farm
,laborers, shovelers. ditch diggers, ETC.
require solid foods such as beef and
pork, but men and women who take lit
tie exercise, whose employment is Sc
'dentary. calling for no continual ply
steal strain. fish is eminently more
satisfactory as a regular diet. Fish is
/. the coming food. Long after our land
has been denuded of those properties
that nourish animal life in the field.
the waters Of the deep will be teeming
with fish. The scientific culture of carp
has shown conclusively that one acre
of water will produce more edible and
wholesome flesh than three acres Of
land, and some of these days We will
awaken to the importance of preserving
our land sustained animals by the sys-
tematic and methodical cultivation of
,our fish. AS to the quantity of meat
that man really needs the people
seem to be ignorant. The United States
government allows the soldiers but
three-quarters of pound Of meat
day. How many New Workers, do you
suppose. get along with so small
ration of meat? The government.
through it's physicians, has learned
that soldiers, even on the march. do
better on that seemingly small allow
ance than If they were permitted to
gorge themselves Unfortunately on
the flesh Of steers and sheep. New York
city allows its hospital patients but one
pound of meat day, and that pound is
untrimmed. When cooked and ready
to be eaten that pound represents really
less than the army ration for able
bodied men. The average energetic.
well-fed New Yorker consumes from
one and half to three pounds Of meat
every day that he is able to eat. 1t is
altogether too much. No wonder that
nature rebels frequently and insists
that the man live on cruel for whole
days at time. That is natures own
recourse That's when a man is sick
when he can't eat meat"

Care Of the Skin.

There are many little skin troubles
which are both persistent and trouble
some and vex ones very soul by ap-
pearing on the face. A greasy skin
may arise from various causes, but
generally from lack Of cleanliness or
debility Of the skin. Only an astring-
ent has any effect upon it, and very
simple. entirely harmless one may be
made from one pint Of rosewater, half
a pint of vinegar and few drops Of
essence Of rose. This lotion may be
applied with a piece Of soft linen or
a very fine sponge.
Blackheads are very difficult to get
rid of and are caused by the clogging
Of the pores Of the skin by dust or
foreigen matter. Alcohol, 9 per cent,
applied by means of channels skin,
will give tone to the skin and remove
unsupported dirt and dust, at the same
time stimulating the small glands and
removing, by constant use, the black
heads.
Tan and freckles may be removed by
the following lotion: Two drachms of
drachms Of eau de cologne, one quart
Oh USCllleU water. LeUlOu juice duU

home remedies.

The Run Still de RigueuE.

Indeed, we never get anything very
new in Paris much before the end Of
September or the first of October. The
prettiest thing for wear in these months
will be the charming little costumes o.
mohair ard alpaca that have been SO
fashionable all the season, made with
coats little longer, not quite SO many
godets as those worn up to now. With
these are always seen one Of the pretty
tours de cou that are more the rage
than ever. They are made generally
of white mousseline de sole or chiffon,
with great choux scattered here and
there, although I've seen many made
of taffeta to match the belt of the gown
with which 1t was worn. A charming
gown CT white alpaca had Jacket

The ideal hostess, somebody has said

she who aspires to such ho1ors must
have both tact and talent; she must
study the situation like true states
man and adapt her course to it. Fail
ures lies oftenest in sins Of omission,
perhaps at the very outset in neglect
ing the wisdom of the old saw which
enjoins to welcome the coming guest. ''
In towns and cities it Is usually quite
possible to find conveyance from the
station to the home Of your friend, but
what q sense of relief and welcome it
gives one to find a bright face ready
with greeting and have the response
bility Of bag and baggage taken on
your hands. We forgive a good deal to
our friends, but it certainly dulls the
edge Of delight to be received at the
threshold by servants, whose mistress
Is out shopping. and to wait In the
parlOr, weary and dusty, until your
hostess at last rushes in, breathless
and apologetic. 1t requires o very
sturdy quality of self respect to come
out undismayed from the disorder Of
travel, and no one enjoys being exhi-
bited at her worst. Therefore avoid
the mistaken familiarity Of taking
your guest at once into the bosom of
the family, and usher her directly to
her room, which should in itself
breathe a welcome in the evidence
that her comfort has been provided
for. The perfection Of art is that no
trace of the laborious processes
should appear in the finished product;
the perfection Of style is that the pol
ished fualtlessness which is the re-
suit of infinite painstaking shall grow
to be spontaneous. And 80 the golden
rule Of hospitality is that it must new

moment it ceases to be enjoyable. Sar-

grass family will make it more easy for
our readers to comprehend the great
service to mankind rendered by the
grass family. In their variety they
supply the varied forces necessary to
build up the animal body, namely the
bones, muscles and fat.
The number of individual species in
the family is probably not yet accu-
rately ascertained. AS early as 1925
scientists had agreed that there were
at least S12 species. Other and more
recent writer's give the number as in
excess OF 1900. Spectators, judging
the grasses growing in the unexplored
regions of the earth by those in sections
OF the earth already known, judge the
number to be not less than 5000.
There is great difference in the ap-
pearance of grasses. Some would
never be recognized as grasses at all.
An example is our Indian corn, one of
the most valuable Of all grasses. Also
there is great difference between the
grasses in different zones. The tropi-
cal grasses sometimes grow to such
height that they assume the appear
ance of trees. Some of them, of the
species Bambusa, attain height of
sixty feet. The leaves Of grasses in

the tropics are broader than those OF
grasses native to the temperate zones.
Sorghum is an example Of the tropical
grass, and bamboo, one Of the giant
grasses.
Among our grasses may be named In
dian corn, wheat, oats. barley. rye. rice,
broom-corn, sugar-cane. millet, and a
long list of cultivated grasses, like tim
othy and red top. The list is simply
too long to be enumerated in its en-
tirety. We need not call the attention
Of the reader to the immense CONNER
