physician, SAYS the New York Sun,
who declared that few people knew how
to walk upstairs properly, was asked to
describe how it should be done He said:
Usually a person will tread on the ball
of the foot in taking each step. This Is
very tiresOme and wearing on the muscles.
as it throws the entire suspended weight
OF the body on the muscles Of the legs and
feet. You should In walking or climbing
stairs seek for the most equal distribu-
ton of the body's weight possible. In
walking upstairs your feet should be plac-
ed squarely down on the step, heel and
all, and then the work should be per
formed slowly and delbera tely. In this
way there is no strain upon any particu-
lar muscle, but each one is doing its duty
in a natural manner. The woman who
goes upstairs with a spring is no phllos-
opher, or at least she Is not making
proper use of her reasoning faculties The
habit, too of bending over half double
when ascending a flight of stairs is eX-
ceedingly reprehensible. In any exertion
of this kind when the heart is naturally
excited to a more rapid action, il is de-
sirable that the lungs should have full
play. The crouching position interferes
with their action, the blood is imperfect

Give the lungs a chance to do their work
everywhere and at all times"
The Vanished Ship

Till l came 10 the Sunset Isles.
Where skies are always blue and soft
And summer always smiles.

And cried, Fair ship goodby.
shall never tire of the beautiful Isles
And the soft blue of the sky"
I watched my ship as it drifted off
And vanished in the sea,
And wondered, Nightly, if love at home
Were weeping still for me.
How Jared I, then, m the Sunset Isles?
One morn ON the beach of gold.
I stretched my hands to the past and
cried.

Come back, come hack, o ship of Youth,
Out of the pa HESS MANI

To weeping love again"
Alas the ship of Youth long since
Has sunk beneath the deep,
And love on the dear Old shores of home
Has wept itself TO sleep,

Every woman wears corset, but few
know how to put ii on The majority of
women begin to hook 1t at the bottom,
naturally throwing forward the hips and
abdomen to hold the corset in place. Then,
with much squeezing in of the waist. the
second hook is fastened, and by the time
the whole corset is on, the chest is low
and hollow and the abdomen and hips are
forward.
Perhaps the fault IS more fundamental
than merely putting the corset on, and
goes back to the lacing of it. Nearly all
women lace their corsets when they first
get them, and that one lacing does through
al physical changes until the corset is
thrown aside. This is a msta Ike, for in
a few days he body can go through many
STAGES of plumpnesS or thlnness, and each
STAGE requires a different arrangement of
The corset. The laces should be loosened
every day and the corset put on so that it
is loose for The body. After 1t is hooked

the corset fits snugly. Then the straining
and twisting of the body is avod ed.
In putting The corset on, says the Phil
adelphia Times. the lC,dy should be KEEP
in perfect position, Win the chest high,
abdomen in and hrs back This is a
fundamental fact which almost every cor
set wearer forgets. The corset should be
hooked from the tor down, and then the
faces should be usrtened. In doing this
