Just then I awoke and the first thing 7

A girl who IS spending the summer a
short distance from the city says the New
York Times, wrote 10 q girl in town the
other day invited the latter to meet her
upon certain date at a certain restau-
rant in the city and lunch with her. The
in-town girl accepted and at the appointed
place and time the two met. Now, to
appreciate the situation, you must know
that the hostess is extremely Well-to-do,
while the guest Is altogether the opposite,
this present occasion being the first time
they had ever lunched together in just
this way. AS befiucd her tastes and Ter
bank account the luncheon ordered by
the hostess was elaborate. 1t included
number of dehcacies requiring extra ser
sented the check and the hostess handed
him a bill of a good sized denomiua ton.
The waiter returned the change, the host
ess examined it, and finding nothing small
Ter than quarter. she picked out from | er
purse one measly five cent piece This
she handed the waiter Perhaps the guest
shouldn't have done it., but for the life
of her she couldn't help saying: IF you
haven't any change / can help you out"
and this, too, in the face of the accumu-
lated quarters brought back from the bill
originally rendered. Certainly if you
wish replied the hostess, whereupon the
guest fished forth a couple of dimes and
proffered them to the waiter. But the
climax was reached when the hostess re-
marked; Dear me, are you going to give
him all that? Wen, then, he can just give
me back my nickel" and before the as
tonished servitor could object the hostess
had reappropriated the five-cent piece
To remain young a woman must keep
her joints timber. If neglected they be-
come painful and stiff. Women grOan with
rheumatic pains, when, if they exercised
properly, rheumatism would be unheard
of. Women sit by a fire and SILVER with
cold when if they encouraged gymnastics
the blood would circulate vigorously
through the body and the cold would
disappear.
The following four simple exercises will
steal symmetry:
l. Stand erect with hands outstretched,
on lever with The shoulders and slowly
raise yourself on your toes as far as pos
sible Retain this position for an instant
and then sink back on to the entire foot.
Do this twenty times a day a first, and in
crease each day to a reasonable limit
2. Place the hands on the hips. and,
resting all the weight of the body on the
right foot slowly raise the left leg, and
extending it in front of the body. Then
bend at the knee. pointing the toe down
ward and bringing the foot up. Repeat
this ten times a first. Then stand on the
left foot and repeat the exercise in re-
verse.
3. stand erect and lean over at the hips
without bending the knees and try to
touch the floor with the fingers. Day by
day you win come nearer and nearer the
floor This exercise viii make the body
supple and strengthen the back, and will
encourage grace.
4. Extend the right arm and placing
the left on the hip. bend to the right side
as far as possible and then reverse the
exercise which should be repea ted ten
times at first and, like all others increas-
ed from day to day as mach as eircum-
stances viii permit. This is an excellent
general gymnasdc No woman should
indulge in any exercise to such an extent
that even the slightest strain is possible.
Fifteen minutes a day spent in exercise
at home should result in muscular de-
velopment and greatly help to retain
health.
young American woman, says the
New York Tribune who has married a
wealthy Engishman is starting quite an
innovation on the other side by declining
to buy as their home one of the old,
ready-made houses" as she irreVerently
calls the beautiful but often uncomforta-
hle stately homes of England" which
look so attractive, but which are likely
to contain the germs of the various ills
that afflict humanity.
81 want a nice, clean, new, American
house. with all the modern conveniences,"
declared the fair iconoclast; like the
houses at Newport and LenoX," and for
wonder her British husband agreed with
her The next thing was to get an Eng
lish architect and builder to carry out
her IDEAS and here she found dlfhculty.
1t was almost impossible to make them
adopt the salient features of an American
house. The veranda they fought against
stoutly. 1T was an excrescence," 1t
spoiled the architecture" 1t darkened
the rooms" "it was not suited TO the
climate" ETC. but a veranda she should
and would have, and in the end she had
her way. Bathrooms connected with the
rooms was the next "snag." The English
idea is to keep the plumbing (Which they
have reluctantly introduced after years of
primitive makeshifts which would not be
tolerated In the smallest suburban Amefl-
cam horne) in a building apart, connected
with the main house by passages. This
prejudice was even harder to overcome
than that against the veranda, but 1t
goes without saying that she conquered in
the end.
"step by step I fought my way" she
related. "There were other differences,
some small, some important, but now,
thank heaven, 1 have house with the
comforts have been accustomed to, and
l find to my surprise that myself and my
home have become famous. People are
continually asking me to allow them TO
see the rooms and their arrangement, and
7 really think it will be an opening wedge
to Introduce American architecture into
English favor"
