OVERRIDING In Music.

OVERRIDING is rs censurabie as under
doing To practice twelve or fifteen hours
day is fully as fatal as 10 practice only
one hour. To play fortissimO or pianis-
simo. where only forte or piano is re-
quired, will spoil the effect To substitute
largo for andante, or presto for allegro,
will often cause a failure A concert pro-
gram one hour and half i'll length, contain
ing q due proportion OF pOular music, will
give more satisfaction to the average
audience than one three hours long made
up exclusively of the good old classics"
Let your moderation be known unto all
men," is the advice OF writer in the
Etude.

In the MOvenlent.

At present the feminine soul Is very
alive to neck trimmings. One scarcely
ever sees a plain collar excepting on
strictly tailor made suits. There are
crinkled puffs which terminate in
double cared bow at the hack OF the neck
and pointed Medici ruffs with Jetted
edges for persons too long and lean, and
sifaffc-like of form. Square collars for
srnartcning up waning garments II don't
like these. excepting on young girls, who
are not supposed to be particularly, and
satin bands with rosettes to either side
below the ears. Bands with lace jabots
falling in front, and lace and ribbop ro-
settes at the back are very popular, and
natty people keep lost OF them ready to
hand for replacement when damaged or
soilcd.

cuffs finishing the wrists. The collar and
cuffs can be made adjustable and re-
moved for laundering when required, in
which case bands of the material must
finish the neck and wrists, to which the
collar and cuffs can be buttoned. The
blouse, collar, and cuffs can be made from
one material, such as serge. flannel, or
cloth, and closed in front with buttons and
button-holes In center of box piait. For

WHAT THE MAJORITY WEAR
A Vast Majority of Women Now on
Earth Wear Trousers.

II MID the unending arguments re-
specting bloomers, knickerbockers
~ and other portions of feminine wear
ing apparel, no one seems to have
noticed the fact that the vast ma
jority OF women upon tie earth at the pres
eDt time actually wear trousers.
The women of China, with its giant popu-
lation OF 400 ,0CO 900, wear plain straight
up-and- down trousers, which are simplicity
itself. The women of Korea wear enormous
trousers, containing enough material to
make an entire suit. The women of Mon
golia, Manchuria, Thibct, the Shan states,
Macao and Tonkin wear the same style of
trousers as the Chinese. The women Of
Siberia wear heavy trousers made OF sheep
skin, goats skin and other cheap furs or
ftr-lined or co;ton-padded cloth. The So
called Turkish trousers or zouave trouser,
which is gathered in below the knee or n
the ankle, is worn in Turkey. Arabia, Syris,
the Barbary states, Algeria, TuDis. Tripoli,
Egypt. Nubia, Persia, Armenia, Tartary
and by the G0,0OO,00O Mohamncda rs OF
India.
The riding costumes of all civilized wo-
men have cloth trousers, as have the riding
costumes OF the women OF Hawaii, Mexico
and all of the Central and South American
republics. Over thirty different tribes In
Russia employ the same garment for their
women.
The Eskimo, Kamsci,a tdale. Alaskan, Lap
and many of the Finnish women use fur
trousers. In other words, over half of all
the women on the globe wear trousers
The most advanced wheelwoman is setting
no new example or doing anything out of
the ordinary run when she dons her knick-
erbockcrs or her bloomers.
The novelty is our own race. Up to the
time of the Norman conquest the attire of
the masses in England and Europe was
rather scant.
relic OF those days is found in the bare
limbed peasant women Of Scotland, Ire
land and half OF Europe. Men only began
to wear trou users in the last century, and
even then there was very bitter fight
made gainst their u Sc by the supporters of
knee breeches. Europe is simply folio wing
in the footsteps of Asia, with the distance
between them OF 1000 years.

Teeth That Speak for Themselves.

Small white teeth, somewhat separated,
are said to denote treachcry. Overlapping
teeth stand for Inconsistency. Long. pro-
jecting teeth mean u grasping nature, and
long. narrow teeth are understood by the
character-in-;cctlI-read to express van
ity. Fiddlesticks! says the JenneSs- Miller
Monthly. A mouthful OF ili-kept teeth be-
speaks inexcusable disregard for ones ap-
pearance, forone' sheath, and 70 rthe refined
decencies of life. a mouthful OF well kept
teethdenotes personalrcfinemcntand aud proper
pride and regard rome shealthandt thefeel-
ings of other people. Telling character
by teeth need go no further.

A Clever Scheme.

People who have lots of money are buy
ing sterling silver bowls with perforated
covers for pansies, viOlets and other short
stemmed flowers, the arrangement of which
is often puzzling. An ingenious lady. who
doesn't buy sterling silver every day, has
accomplished the same result by cutting a
piece of wire screen. such as is used to keep
the buzzing flies out OF doors in summer,
to fit a small cut-giass bowl. She covers
the wire with a few leaves and slips the
stems Of her violeis through the apertures
into the water. It's good scheme.

IF YOU BEND-DON'T.

TN THE kitchen there is much bending to
be done. Do you do 1t properly? Never
bend at your waist. Observation shows
that two-thrds of people do. The
hips are made for the point Of action.
BY using them our chest is expanded. curva-
ture of the spine rcpulsed. and an attitude
Of grace obtained. Bending at the waist
las the contrary effect. No more wkward
or droller position can be imagined; the
stomach expanded, shoulders bumped and
chest contracted. Not only Is grace lack
Ing, but our breathing apparatus is robbed
Of its due. Try the two bends-perseverc
in the first till the habit Is established.

Mrs. He,ne's Vanity.

We are Just in the midst OF a most har-
monious and expressive pea &C." Heine once
wrote. He had just bought Mrs. Heine q
new green silk dress. Nine. Heine hated
books and literature in general. Except for
the money they brought in she would have
forbidden her husbands poems ever get
ting on paper, yet she had her own vanities,
though she was far from being beautiful

her spouse, where are the lost arms of
the Venus de Milo?' They are in my

can run her fingers over the keys at high
rate of speed. When a typewriting con
test was recently announced there she de-
cided 10 enter. There were three tests,
and twelve other young women entered the
race.
Thefirst prize wasa purse of 81 for copy

contestants ratified the keys and jingltd

Then came the blindfolded contest. A

of each contestant, and one of the judges
read for three minutes. Some OF the fair
typewriters soon found themselves all at

FOR PLAIN WOMEN ONLY.

But Profitable Reading for the More
Favored of the Sex
- GORGE FLEMING'S work, For
Plain Women Only" although its
n title might be expected to prevent
- its reaching the feminine sex, is
attra citing attention by its null
tipIicity of pointed 81 wings. Aunt Lavinia,
the character who gives the advice, is q
philosopher as well as woman. The way to
give her some idea of her philosophy is to
quote her:
- Theodore said my aunt solemnly,
in the merciful scheme Of nature there are
noplatn women. Thereare women who dress
badly, women who are dull natured, wO-
men who take too much medicine, women
who take too little food. Bat given fresh
air. exercise, and the sane. contented mind
that follows given enough looking glasses,
Theodore, above all, large looking glasses
and the most rudimentary instruction in
form and in color
But my dear aunt said.
The moment you are in. doubt about
the effect produced,' said my Aunt La
vinia, go, go that instant to your long
looking glass and stand before it until you
discover what it is you can take off. That.
is the first golden rule OF good dressing"
Again here is an apothegm on hats
The worthy hat is personal and simple.
A woman's hat Tor bonneD should he simple
in outline and effect. 1t must appear the
,sult of decorative impulse, not the
madness OF a natural history museum. And
il must be personal. The properly trained
woman would no more accept bonnet
which she had neither devised, suggested
nor selected than she would accept hus-
hand because that was the style OF man
people were selecting this year.

Gentlemen: wish TO add my testimonial
TO the many you alrcady have, as to the

that the doctors ordered me to keep my
body propped up, which I did for a month.
Although off my feet for long time, l
found l was not getting any Better. /
then decided upon change of medical
men, hut no better results followed. I
concluded that no medicine would reach
my case. My foot was so badly swollen
that could not wear a shoe, and at times
could not walk. At the advice OF u friend
as last resort, l tried one bottle OF your
I. c. K. Cure. and found immediate re-
lief: in fact in very short time, I was
quite well. and have had no return OF the
