health broke down and she was dan
gerously Ill for almost a year. This
illness is the nearest approach to a
rest that Gen. Booths third daughter
has ever had. When she had recoV-
cred she was appointed field commits
sioner, and travelled about the country
doing evangelistic work, receiving the
reports of officers and winning her
spurs as a platform speaker. Of her
success in this line one of the staff Of

admiration. eff we didn't save from

HER LOOKS AND CHARACTER.
In appearance, as In character, Com
missioner Eva Booth is very much like
her popular sister-in-law. She has less
attractive features, but her face is
stronger than Maud Ballington
Booths. She is five feet two inches
tall and She weighs about one hundred
pounds. Her chief beauty lies In her
eyes and hair, which are the same soft
shade Of brown. The hair is very
curly and the eyes are large and tired,
and slightly appealing, just now, per-
haps because they have been turned
on so many unfriendly faces. The
shape Of her head is hidden by the
ugly army bonnet she wears, but a
fringe Of worldly little curls softens the
effect of high forehead and a very,
very large nose. Any one who has

CORRECT BREATHING.
How 1t Is Said to Help the Stout
Woman to Become Thinner.

1t has been discovered that the
Double chin can be banished by correct
breathing, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The woman with a short neck
must hold her head high, even stretch
ing her neck until conscious of the
tension of the cords. She should also
practice dropping her head and letting
it roll listlessIy about This will give
a graceful poise to the head, and the
exercise of muscles will help consume
the extra amount of fat Lung eXer-
cises in breathing are the best exer-
cises for excessive stOutness. The best
time for this is before dressing in the
morning and after undressing at night
Five or ten minutes exercise every
day will reduce the flesh in a wonder
fully short time. Stand erect, with the
head and chin we'll up, and rise upon
the toes at each inSpira ton, holding
the breath a moment, then expelling it
forcibly, coming down upon the heels
at the same time.
Another good breathing exercise is to
draw in a full. deep breath. Retain
the breath while counting fifteen and
then slowly eXpel 1t. Sometimes stout
women move the arms gracefully, but
the body has an utter lack of liberty
and free motion or Suppleness. Draw

and let the muscles have as free play
as possible. All women can learn to
use their bodies gracefully, even If
there Is predisposition to stoutness
Stout women are often the lighter
dancers, and there is no reason WHY
they chould not be graceful in pose and
motion. If woman draws her breath
freely from the bottom of her lungs she
diminishes the effect of her size imme-
fliately by doing away with that ready
to-burst look that is generally asso-
ci2ted with stoutness. That is the
look that must be avoided, oven if the

Commissioner EvaTc. EzBooth is the

She has been in this country for
less than ten days. I'm Chat time she
has accomplished an amount Of work
which deserves the thoughtful atten

helped to depose her, brother Balling-

commander Of the American Salvation
Army. She has made, a large number
of enthusiastic enemies by this course
In almost every case she has subse-

satin, thickly braided with gold. Ac-
contemplated cream mousseline de
sole forms a jabot and trims the cuffs

only style in tailor-made gowns, for
the pointed bodice, fastened on one
side, is one of the new spring models.
1t opens in front on a full white silk
vest, and turns back in large revers.
White satin ribbon makes the stock
collar and bow. The close coat sleeves
appear in some of the English tailor
gowns, but full epaulettes of cloth fall
ing over them partially disguise the
fact that they are quite close to the
arm. The prettiest sleeves in the
French gowns have faring puffs or
ruffles at the elbow, with lace falling
below, and are quite plain above. An
other sleeve which Is seen in the new
gowns is close-fltting, either wrinkled
or plain, from the wrist up fully six
inches above the elbow, and is finished
at the top with one or two short puffs
Fashion has run riot in the produc-
ton of dress trimmings this season,
and they were never so elaborate and
artistic in design, or so beautiful in col
oring as they are now. Spangles, fine
beads, and colored silks are worked

thusiasm. 1t was on one of these occa-

macy first revealed themselves.
EVA AND THE LONDON TOUGH.
The attack was a particularly bitter
one. The toughs with whom the Sal
Vationists were struggling were bad
specimens of their kind The leader
was a particularly depraved ruffian
who had leaning towards broken bot
ties and loaded sticks as missiles. It
was during the heat of the conflict,
and when the women warriors of the
Salvation Army were getting decidedly
the worst Of it, that Capt. Eva Booth
turned confidently upon this youth
and assured him that he must take
care OF her. She explained to him that
he was stronger than she, and she act
ually succeeded in making him call off
his followers and escort her and her

and remained at the slum headquarters
until all the trouble was over. During
these days she learned to play the
banjo, and it is said that on various
occasions where other influences failed
to save souls the seductive tones of the
banjo did the work.
Her next active work was in connec-
ton with the so-called Central division.
1t Included the training of officers and
n,uch travel and putN speaking. At

youth pawned his vest and bought a
bunch of white grapes which he
brought to the door of her sick room in
the most Chesterheldian manner. Lit
tie things like this happen frequently
in books, but it is a pleasure and a
novelty to met one In real life. The
truth of this incident is vouched for.

RESEMBLES MAUD B. BOOTH.
The personality of a woman who
can do this should be interesting Eva
Booth does not disappoint ones ex-
pectations. She is no less interesting
and very little less charming than the
late lamented leader, Maud Ballington
Booth. If she were to be permanently
established in New York it would be
safe to predict that she would win
the same position Mrs. Booth has won
and through many of the same quail
tiles.
This woman warrior, whose motto
is BLOOD and Fire" has had consider
able experience with both. Her pres
ent active engagement in the so-called
holy war is by no means her first. AL
though she is not yet thirty years of
age, she has taken part in four great
conflicts, which will be described later.
She has conquered every time and she
has emerged from the smoke of battle
calm and unruff1ed and with a large
following of citizens who had been
very enthusiasticall%sop to her in
the beginning. g. Il

from cadet to commissioner. A very
brief review of her life up to this
point may interest the thousands of
persons who are waiting eagerly to see
what she will do next
Following her early and humble ex-
perience in the selling of War Crys,
Miss Booth settled down in the training
nome in London and helped her sister
TO turn out large numbers of women
warriors from that institution. 1t was
not easy work to transform earnest but
ignorant young persons from the streets
into well-informed, thoroughly trained
