LEARNING TO WALK.

LIE - NtNISA ~ " ALN.
''How we'll she walks! How nicely she
holds herselfr' Such compliment all
bellies would appreciate. It is to be
have impeded that Greclan effect of a
free and noble carriage beautiful walk,
which is the best part Of young wom-
ans charm.
Noone wants to be shapeless, but why the
wasp was made the pattern of symmetery
surely no one can tell. A good walk,
in which the limbs are thrown freely for
ward and the head carried gracefully,
is beginning to be much studied by
those young ladies who are now called
maids of HONOR and who have taken
the place of the bridesmaid of the past.
70 appear well as a maid of honor a
girl must have fine carriage and be
nobly dignifed, the head we'll poised, the
shoulders squarely set, the movement
gracious and swanlike.
The most beautiful shape will be
spilled by too tight lacing, and the fin
est foot by boot which pinches, while a
heel too high spoils the gait and makes
a woman walk badly, beside throwing
nut of shape and place every organ Of
ne body.-Baltimore News.
ETIQUETTE ON CONVERSATION
Do not argue or appear to notice other
peoples inaccuracies of speech.
DO not interrupt others while speak
ing, but listen patiently until they have
finished. Remember that the good lis
tener is generally more appreciated than
the clever talker.
Do not talk loud or fast. A clear, dis.
tinct voice has great power.
Do not talk of your private and family
affairs, except to intimate friends, and
then be careful not to do so often.
Do not cross-Question people It is
bad form to force Il confidence, but if
one is made to you you are bound to re-.
spect it.-New Orleans Picaynne.
MEN HATE CAUSTlC WOMEN
A mans ideal woman is gentle, loving
and humble in her own conceit, and he
can find nothing admirable in woman
however clever, who INDUCES in caus-
tic wit, or who is SO infallible i'll her
own estimation that she believes her
opinion to be the only right one. though
it be contrary to all the rest of the
world. says the Cleveland Paindealer
CleycrneSs in women is attractive to
men provided it's owners are not spoiled
by conceit, and that they are too kind
hearted to indulge in sarcasms at the
expense of their neighbors.
CARE OF THE TEETH.
To prevent the teeth decaying unduly,
brush we'll every morning. using a good
tooth powder and having a little carbon
ate of soda in the water. After each
meal rinse the mouth with tepid water
in which a little carbonate of soda IS
dissolved, and before retiring at night
brush the teeth again. If strong medi
cines have to be taken, have them made
I'D in the form of pills, if possible, IS
tinctures of iron. acids and so on have a
bad effect on the enamel of the teeth.
Home of the Almond Tree.
In the Old World the high dry pla-
tca,,s of Europe and Asia are where the
almond tree tlourishes best, while in this
country the Antelope valley is the only
place where it grows wild. Though tho
Antelope valley is its native home, it is
not the only part of California where the
conditions are favorable to it's culture.
but there the work has been entered into
on larger scale and the best results
have been obtained.
The main points Of excellence in nm al
mond are bright color. without Injurious
use Of sulphur, which renders it flavor
less, takes away the plumpness of the
kernel and high proportions of oil.
Since it has become generally known
that the almond is such concentrated
food and so valuable in the digestive
process, its consumption is rapidly in
creasing. New preparations are coli.
stantly appearing on the market. Many
of these arc for use on the skin and
for the complexion. a.
Sailed almonds have long been known
as Il confection that may be eaten with
impunity, being easily digested. - :
The almond tree blooms early in the
spring. and after blossonling the almond
pushes along toward perfection of it's
kernel, which is often nearly completed
in June. -. ~ 81 z>Iz.
