| There are multitudes of little girls in all

formity is common among them.
II any girl has any pride in being up

, self to1preYent it.
How can this be done? In the first place
she must carefully cultivate the sense
which tells her when she is standing up
| straight and when she is not. By paying
| attention to this muscular sense it be-
! comes in time very acute. By neglecting
/ 1t the sense becomes dull-is paralyzed.
! Now my advice is to cultivate 1t daily or
| several times day by assuming up
! right attitude. Stand before the glass and
/ see When you are straight, or get a friend
! to tell you, and then put yourself in this
attitude whenever you stand or walk or
I SIT at any labor in which you are engaged.
IL you have only to walk across the
room, do 1t III an upright attitude. If you
| have only to stand and converse with a
| friend in the street, en- the road at a par
| ty, get yourself so accustomed to the up
| right attitude that you will feel uncom-
| Portable in any other way In time an
upright habit will be established, and con-
slant attention to il VIII not be required
In case you are already stoop-shouldered
or one-sided these conditions must be cur
| ed, but the first step in their cure is the
| upright attitude, or as near an approach
| to it as possible.

| This marriage question is eternalIy bob
bing UP in new light. 1t has assumed
| strange phase in a st. Louis family. Ac-
| cording to the Globe-Democrat, J. Burk-
| mart an engineer of that city, has some
| novel ideas on the subject of matrimony,
| likewise three single daughters and
| widowed one. He has a theory that every
| girl should be married by the time she is
| of age. II she has not made hay while
| the sun shone, so to speak, and gather
ed in her harvest in the shape of hus-
| band by that time Mr.. Burkhart thinks
! that it is entirely her fault, end that she
| is no longer entitled to be supported by
| her parents or relatives.
One of Mr.. Burkhart's daughters, Ella,
| has just come of age, and she alleges that
| her father has issued a decree to the eff
| feet that If she is not married before the
| end of December she must leave home and
| support herself. Ella says further that
| her father has arranged to dispose of
/ some of the rest of his children. Lottie,
| the eldest daughter has been the house
wife of the family since her mother died,
seven years ago. She has received or
ders from her father to leave his house by
early spring.
'If She is married by that time" de-
clares Mr.. Burkhart, 'all the better for
her; if not. let her shift for herself and
do the best she can"
In addition to the two manageable
daughters, there is a sister named Laura
and the widow, Emma. The father has
not yet announced his intentions regarding
these.
Mr. Burlkhart's attitude has caused no
end of comment in his neighborhood, and
his daughters are so indignant that they
discuss 1t openly. Some of the gossips
have 1t that Ella is engaged and will take
her father at his word Others believe
that neither of the girls will marry with
in the given time. The children them
selves say that they will place the affair
in the hands of a lawyer, as they have as
much right to the property as their
father Their claim appears to be just,
for 1t seems that eight years ago MIR.
Burkhart left his family and moved to
Kansas City. Nothing was heard of him
FOR six years. The daughter Lottie as
sumed the care of her little sisters and
by hard work and economy the girls sue
! ceeded in paying the interest on the mort
gage on the family property. Two years
ago the father returned and was warmly
welcomed by his children. Now he wants
to Gust them.
It's a good thing that Mr.. Burkhart lives
out west where men are plentiful. His
idea would win him few sons-in-law in
deed in good old New England, where the
last census shows the women to be far in
excess of the men, even in New York
where bachelor life combines all the Joys
of freedom and all the comforts of mar
rage.
