OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.

Apropos OF these shelving houdered
slim-necked ladies of long ago, whom Sir
Joshua Gainsborough and Romney loved to
paint, a recent writer says;
They have certainly rendered the grace
and charm of womanhood in quite I'M
cqualed manner. But grace and charm are
not everything. l consider that an idea of
womanhood which Is founded almost ex-
clusively on grace and charm is very
poor ideal.
And not only is their ideal q very flimsy
one. but the way in which they allowed +
to swallow up the individuality of their
sitters i3 fatal to the highest portraiture
There is an astounding similarity of type
throughout the school. Were none OF their
innumerable female sitters ever broad
fhouldered? Had they none of them big
firm mouths and square jaws? They can
not all have been slim and dainty. Had
none Of them the magnificent robust type
Of the Venus of Milo or Of the women OF
Titan?
THE Silent Sisters" 1t sounds like the
title OF a story by Mary E. Wilkins, doesn;
1t? But these sisters truly live. There are
three of them, old maids and farmers. and
their home is desolate farm in Tennessee.
Two of them work in the field the third
does the cooking and other homework.
There is but one period of the year when
any member of the trio has anything to
say to any other member. All during the
winter, spring and summer they go about
their business with the seal of silence on
their lips. When fall comes and the crop
is harvested they break the silence. and
then only to quarrel over the division CT
the proceeds. When each has succeeded
in getting al that she thinks possible
silence reigns again until the next harves.
time. The sisters have made a name for
them selves. They are known far and near
as the deaf and dumb triplets." although
this title is scarcely appropriate.

Indeed, we may go much further. Some
of them must have been fat. Do we ever
find a stout woman in the painting of this
school? And some Of them must have been
short and squat and right ugly. But we
never gee them. In these charming por-
traits there seem to be practically no ex-
ceptions TO the prevailing type. Decidedly.

ART OF PACKING,
Valuable Hints for the eco
ing Away" Girl.
HOW TO UTILIZE SPACE.
Badly Packed Trunk Generally
Proves Disastrous to It's Con-
tents-The Big Sleeve Problem.

In slowing ones garments away in trunks
the first principle is to fill tn, compart-
ments to their utmost limit. II garments
give out before the trunk is filled tightly,
1t is fatal to faster the lock and to rejoice
in the ease with which the operation is &C.
complished. After a few airy losses in
the hands OF a baggage agent a partly
filled "box" is like the proverblal pod with
one pea In 1t. and the frocks and hats that
occupy the position similar to that OF the
pea are tossed about, rumple0 and crushed
sometimes beyond repair. Moreover a
scant!ly-flled trunk is more likely to be
broken itself than a well-filled one.
The sleeves Of the thin gowns should be
stuffed out with tissue paper. So. indeed,
should all dress sleeves. They should then
be folded across the back Of the bodice,
pinned together and turned back from cuff;
to elbow upon themselves. The bodice can
then be folded neatly. so as to keep the
front unrumpled and the collar free from
creasee. Two or three pins will tack tho
folded parts in position SO that the ordi-
nary chances Of travel will not crush the
waist.
Skirts should be folded evenly In two
across the bottom. Then they should be
turned back upon themselves in such a
way as to interfere as little as possible with
their plaits. They should be folded across
at the line where the stiffcning ceaees
Bands Of lutte string ribbon tied across
thcm will keep them in position during all
tho perils OF journey.
All light lined garments should be
wrapped with tissue paper before being con-
signed to a trunk. Over a layer of darn
clothes a cheesecloth sheet should always
be drawn to prevent contact with light
clothing.
Hats, when they are carried in the ordi-
nary trunk, must be carefully packed They
must be securely attached to an upright
position in the hat-box or they will be
utterly ruined after the first bag
gage smasher has laid ruthless hands upon
the trunk. Hats should be stuffed with
tissue paper, and any upright adornmentf
which they may boast should be tendery

Correct breathing will contribute much
to woman's health and appearance. Exer-
clsing the lungs before going to bed at
night and after rising in the morning will
be found very beneficial. A good breathing
exercise Is to draw in a full, deep breath,
retain 1t while counting fifteen and then ex-
pei 1t slowly.
Another way is to stand erect with the
head and chin well up and rise upon the
toes at each inspiration, holding the breath
a moment and then expellng it forcibly,
coming down upon the heels at the same
time.

"Decadence in literature is a subject
very much discussed in these days, and
the fact that authors must write up or
down to suit the market because they must
live IS deplorable, since they can never get
their best under those conditions. But a
writer in London paper cunningly traces
the trouble to the women, because they
read more than they did years ago, while
the men read less. and their tastes are
more generally consistent. Although wo-
men are better cultivated and moro ex-
perienced than they were formerly the tone
OF the literature of the day shows how in
furious is the altered condition of things.
The increase in the number Of women
