of leisure are doing a vast amount OF gooo
for the sisters of toll.
If you want to be good-looking, one
must take heaps of trouble. All really
lovely women do and the following Is one
of the penalties they pay
To fill the troublesome hollows on each
side of the collar bone a system of deep
breathing is invaluable. Take a deep
breath. hold it as long as possible, and
then exhale it very slowly. Repeat this
ten times. DO this twice a day.
AS it is absolutely essential that the
muscles should be developed, the follow
ing exercise must become a part of ones
daily routine:-
/. Slowly bend the head forward till the
chin touches the neck. The raise 10 very
gradually.
2. Slowly bend the head backward and
raise it again.
5. Bend sideways to right and left.
All these movements should be repeat

Then battle the throat and neck in hot

Now dampen a soft rag or sponge,
moisten the throat and neck with benzoin
and rose water, which is a skin tonic and
helps to close the pores, and so prevents
dirt from entering.

Every one who has ever been a child,
/ SAYS the Cincinnati Enquirer" will re-
call that sense of injury entailed by being
sent to bed early, that conviction that you
are being deprived of the most interesting
part of the whole day. There is really
no knowing what the elders are up to
when once they get the youngsters tucked
up safe in bed, but it stands to reason it
must be very interesting. or why would
they be in such a hurry to get the young
sters out of the way?
With some children this amounts to
more than mere feeling. 1t was a little
girl of the latter sort who begged SO hard
to sit up just for once that her mother
one evening. not long age said that she
might. How the little girls eyes danced
at the prospect of all the wonderful things
she would see for herself upon this, her
first occasion of Sitting up.' How COM
miseratingly she regarded the other chill
! dren, who were as usual packed off to
bed at an early hour. She seated herself
in her small chair, and eagerly awaited
developments.
But imagine her surprise when her par
ents. as was their custom, seated them
selves at the library table. and unsociably,
but hygienically, turning their backs to
the light, began to read. For some time
the small girl rocked away in her small
chair in silence. Then came a sleepy,
plaintive voice: rs this all you dor

How welcome is the cup of hot choco-
late offered 10 the tea tramp on a blus-
tering afternoon. It is cold work going
about the streets on a round of teas in
December weather. Teas are called
teas, it is true, but few afternoon visi-
tors care to imperil their digestion with a
cup of tea at every house they visit.
.'Sleep no morei" the Tea cries TO the Wis
itor. 1t seems too early for coffee before
dinner, and the ices served are chilly en-
tertainment. But a cup of chocolate,
freshly grated, fiery hot, with a floating
island of whipped cream to sweeten and
cool it, is the most appropriate refresh
ment to offer to a lady on a wintry after
noon. The chocolate must be hot or it
should not be offered. Do not keep it on
the table, no matter if your chocolate pot
is a miracle Of repousse silver. Let IN
attendant mark each new arrival to the
room, and bring from the Kitchen mok
ing hot, a little cup of chocolate.

1 do not believe that old people should
consent to be effaced simply because the
riotous advance of youth around them 10
/ pushing them to the rear, says the La
dies Home Journal" Love does its mis-
} taken best 10 efface them, it Is true, CIV
ing them the easy chair and the shelter
er corner, and saving them from all ex-
ertion, and insisting that they are to be
waited upon, and their work taken out of
their hands. Maturity has no right to let
itself be laid upon the shelf too soon.
There is one glory Of the rosebud and an
other of the rose; one beauty of the grow
ing grain and another beauty of the ripen-
ed sheaf.
Among the ~extravagant frivolties of the
season are fur negligee slippers. finished
with big lace bows and a diamond head
ed pin, which is much more fashionable
than a buckle. Others are of velvet,
trimmed with fur. A novelty is of a fan
cy satin. trimmed with a bow on each side
of the instep. Decidedly nice for a dress
shoe is a patent leather in the Louis XIV
shape. The heels are covered with light
blue leather, the high vamp is lined with
blue, which shows as a cord about the
edge, and there is a buckle of gold n
blue enamel. Some Of the shoe buckles
shown are fine examples of artistic jew
elry and cost large prices.
Informal callers should be most careful
to avoid the hours for meals, says the
Ladies Home Journal"
To drop ar unweleome acquaintance one
merely omfts sending cards.
Do not apologize too much for not hav-
ingcalled before. Your neglect to do SO
has probably not been observed.
