~day-grows sweeter by exposure to the
air. and fis not at its best until two or
three days old.
Bread should be kept in a well covered
box or sjar, but it should be wrapped in
cloths, and the box in which it is kept
should have small holes in the top or
I sides. through which the fresh air can
have access.
AS soon as loaves of bread are taken
| from the oven they should be exposed
| freely to pure air, and at no time after
ward should they be wholly excluded from
it. Make good bread. put it in a we'll
ventilated box, after it is perfectly cool,
and it will keep sufficiently moist at least
a week.
Everybody eats. drinks. breathes and
sleeps. and everybody who has the due al
! lowance of legs and feet walks, says the
| London DAILY Mall Yet not one per-
son in a hundred does one of these things
| properly. That is the verdict of a writer
in a French scientific publication, who
Furthermore gives instructions as to how
the errors should be corrected.
sAs to sleeping: his specifications apply
more to- France and the Continent OF
Europe generally than to this country In
this country few beds are inelosed in the
absurd heavy curtains which are so com
mon in France-curtains which cut off the
supply of oxygen.
1t has long been automatic with us that
bedroom windows should be open at night,
tina the bed should be without curtains
and in the middle of the room, and that
the room in the daytime should be ex-
posed to all the sunlight possible.
AS to walking, the errors are confined
to no particular nation. People of all
countries walk badly. and their chief mis-
take is in regard to the centre of gravity
of the body. 1T should be kept as nearly
as possible, in loeomotion, at an even dis
tance from the ground.
Most people wobble, lurch or hop in
their gait, thus alternately raising, lower
ing and throwing irst to one side and
then to the other the gravity centre.
This greatly increases the fatigue of
walking.
Furthermore, care should be taken not
to walk on either the toes. the heels or
the side of the feet. The foot should be
placed fiat on the ground, and the knee,
ankle and hip joints should be moved
evenly, and each assigned to its just al
lowance, and no more, of the work.
AS to eating, drinking and breathing,
the common errors are generally well
known, and as generally prevalent.
Everybody knows that it is bad to drink
in great gulps, just as everybody knows
it is bad 70 gobble food without proper
mastication. Both induce dyspepsia and

Dainty favors for luncheon or dinner
must now receive attention when chill
dren are to be entertained. All sorts
of funny-looking birds and animals, as
well as chicks and hens, are pressed
into service as candy receptacles, and
these are particularly pretty for dinner
favors where there are children present.
For the tiny tots nothing takes the
place of the souT-satisfying Easter egg
of chocolate or vanilla candy, and if it
be further embellished with the youth
full owners name traced in letters of
white sugar. then, indeed, is Easter
morning a joyful occasion, and one not
soon to be forgotten.
A pretty fancy is an egg of pure white
candy resting in a nest of spun taffy.
AS to bonbons, the most seasonable ones
are creamed strawberries, each of which
is packed in a little 1uted paper shell,

chestnuts are another novelty that

Vines, indeed, may cover a multitude of
sins-foundations, bare walls, unsightly
implanted sheds; vines may serve. as
screens, and give privacy to the yard;
vines may give a shady nook in the little
corner that has so often worried us to
care for, says the "Woman's Home Com
panion." But above all, vines may make
our houses homes indeed, adding grace
and beauty to even the stateliest mansion.
There is such an endless variety of vines,
and most of them are so easily cultivated
that they appeal to the veriest novice or
the busiest housewife. In planting you
may have all of one kind or choose many
varieties. For quick effects over balcony,
fence or screen the morning-glory, moon
flower, nasturtium, Cobaea scandens and
cypress-vine give most pleasing effects.
For slower and more permanent results
are the ivies, woodbines, h~oneysuckles
and their kind.
All the girls admire the new style Of
ribbon cravat and will put them on when
opportunity arises with the shirt-waist of
wash material. You will require no less
than three yards of handsome hat" rib
bon. as the milliner calls it. Now find the
middle and fold it exactly in half. This
double fold is intended to keep stiff the
part which encircles the throat. Put in
pins where the double fold joins to indi-
cate the measurement of your .ieck. Now
stitch invisible fastenings at the pin
points. Then use the rest of your wide
ribbon in making a bow with large loops
and long ends, reaching nearly to the
waist. With your scissors round off the
corners and trim the ends. The new
cravat is now ready to be worn.

Perhaps it is the policy of expansion
which borrows the military heel for a
lady's Oxford tie, better knowp as the
low shoe, which we wear in hot weather.
The shoe is cut low. only five eyelet holes
