y HOW TO Be HAPPY, THOUGH FAT. K K

How to be happy though fat
That is the new gospel of the women
who, because of snow, rain and cold
winds. are exiled during the winter
months from the golf links. and in
consequence have been taking on flesh
at a rate that causes distinct alarm.
For this reason at the beginning of the
non-golfing season a happy thought
crystalized at once into one of the most
influential of the winter clubs for
women.
The happy thought was the PROPOSE
ton TO hire an adequate hall and spend
a certain amount of time every day in
taking pure golf gymnastics. Now,
there is nothing in the world that so
promptly tires a golfer, both mentally
and physically, as the mere sight of

know to try and scratch her left Shout

NOVELTIES FOR SOFA-PILLOWS.

Some distinct novelties in sofa pillow
covers have recently been shown in the
art embroidery stores, and these will
prove a welcome change to the house
wife who finds that new covers have to
be provided for the pillows which have
become faded or worn.
The first of these is the poster pillow.
This is especially appropriate for the
studio corner, for the bachelor apart
mentS or for reading room. The cover
is of Il light cream canvas, upon which is
printed a poster in two or three colors.
OF course, being a poster, the outlines
are strong, and there Is no shading. As a
consequence, the matter of finishing 1t IS
very simple. The lines of each figure are
gone over with one color of embroidery
silk, usually black. This is all the work
that is to be put upon it, The reverse
side of the pillow is of the plain canvas,
and the edge is TO be finished with q black
cord.
The pillow is very striking, and, if APP
propriately placed, proves most effective.
The daintieSt pillow of all is an en-
tirely new departure in linen crash COW
ers. The one exhibited in a leading art
store was of the blue and white crash
in large checks. Five squares made the
width. The pillow was made and finished
like those which have been so popular
for some time past. The ruffied edge was
embroidered in feather stitch.
Tho distinctively new feature was the
method of embroidering the body of the
cover In the white square at each cor
ner in the one. and midway between each
corner, was embroidered a simple scroll
figure. The same figure was also embroi-
dered in the center square. and in the
four squares diagonally between the
center and the corners.
The work IS done in two shades of
blue. TO match the shades in the linen,
the darker shade appearing where the
stripes cross each other.
The center of the figure is worked solid
in light blue, and outlined in the darker.
The short scrolls are worked in light
blue. and the longer ones in the dark
The whole effect is as dainty and pretty
as one could imagine. and, while it af-
fords "a change from those with the
feather stitching only, it retains the prime
excellence of the crash covers, the ability
to endure successfully any EImber of
trips to the laundry.

lace are applied on black or cream net

exquisite patterns are mounted on white
wire and worn as coronets in the hair.

women are learning grace and golf at
one end of the hall, a dozen fat ladies,
standing in a row, are SoIemnly drawn
I up in formal array taking the hip and
leg movement. Standing first on the
right leg, hands on hips, they gravely
swing the left leg back and forth,
pendulum wise in front of the right.

swing the other six times, and so on,
until some of them are able to stand
and swing one leg 20 times in slow
graceful succession, every time, at
each of the semicircles thus described
bringing the foot clear upon a level
with the waist line.
When much has been achieved with
the big movement thus the student
places one foot on a small three-inch
high block, fixed on the floor, and
swings her other foot far out before and
then behind her, taking hold of no
support the while, but by going slowly
learning in time to balance herself per-
fectly, even while the foot is shot up to
the most amazing height.

Now please don't confound these
movements with high kicking or any
thing unbecoming in ladies of social
position and great personal dignity, be-
cause every motion is taken slowly,

the Spanish people to mob violence 1t
may be necessary for assistance to be
sent the boy king from across the
Spanish borders. May be the mere an
nouncement that the dynasty has the
support of the armies of the neighbor-
ing nations will be sufficient to pre-
vent mob demonstrations.
A prominent diplomat who Is inti-
mately acquainted with Spanish-Amer-
lean affairs and who Is informed of the
secret conference of the representa-
tives of European powers In Madrid
with the queen regent and Premier
Sagasta, stated tonight that the peace
negotiations were entered into at the
request, or rather demand, of the pow
ers, and that as soon as they were
actually begun those countries inter-
ested would send their warships to
the different ports of Spain to protect
her against her own people. 1t Is
their determined intention to save
Spain to herself, now that she has lost
her colonies and her colonial prestige,
and not permit the country to be
destroyed to crafty the personal am
bition of Don Carlos or the ultra-repub-
lican views of the other revolutionary
party. The diplomat announced today
that there is already state bordering
on Generalization in some parts OF
Spain, and he expects that as soon as
the peace measures have been made
public 1t will be intensified. Already,
he says, a great number of disturbers,
both Carlists and revolutionists, have
been arrested and confined in prison.
The fortress of Monjuith at Barcelona
is full of political prisoners, and the
same can be said of the penitentiary
at Madrid. The military governors of
different Spanish cities have issued
manifestoes warning the people
against participating in any gatherings
of Carlists or republicans, and in Mad
rid the guardia civile has been nearly
doubled.
