All Work and No Play.

The all work and no play woman
soon becomes scarcely more than a
machine, a machine that too often
runs without the wheels being
greased-in a hard, grinding, squeak
ing way, requiring much more
strength and time than if a little lu-
brication had been given in the shape
of occasional pleasant moments
snatched by the way.
There is one thing certain; 1t is
better to try and be content with lit
tie, doing without some things that
we may have a great desire for. than
to so wear ourselves out body and
spirit, in their attainment that we
lose the power of enjoyment, too tired
to care for anything.
So the wise wiman, though, like the
woman in the Bible, she rises while
it is yet night" she makes sure of a
little time every day-perhaps not
more than a half hour-which is her
very own, and with which stranger or
friend 'intermeddleth not. ot."-Phila-
delphia Times.

Two Talented Sisters.

Lady Duff Gordon is one Of the
handsomest as well as one of the most
talented of English women. She was
formerly Mrs. Wallace, and married
her present husband in 1900. Clever
and enterprising. she decided to join
the army of women workers, and
started in business as dressmaker.
Good taste, good manners and good
luck assisted the plucky little lady,
and her small shop soon developed
into a maison with rich ultra-smart
set of customers. Lady Duff Cor
don's own appearance is quite Pari-
sian. Lady Duff Gordon's sister, Mrs.
Clayton Glyn, has lately made her
mark as a successful authoress, hav-
ing written that much talked of novel,
"The Visits of Elizabeth" Mrs. Glyn
is a good amateur actress, and often
appears in tableaux vivants, etc. She
is very pretty, fair woman, with
really remarkable hair of a wonderful
auburn color.-Philadelp Inquirer.

gymnastics in English schools.

The department of gymnastics IN
London schools is conducted by the
school board on well defined lines,
that distinguish clearly between phys
ical training and gymnastic exercises.
Many of the children who enter the
public schools are under developed
because of the lack of proper food
and care and the first movements
are chosen, therefore, with a view to
the development of the body. There
is carefully prepared syllabus, with
graded eXecises for feet and legs,
arms, shoulders, neck and general bal
ance, as a beginning. When prof.
cheney and ease in these have been
attained, light movable apparatus is
employed, such as wands, hoops, small
dumbbells, skipping ropes and light
Indian clubs.
at a recent exhibition by the girl
students of the gymnastic class of a
technical institute the extreme of
physical training for women was
shown. The course includes fencing,
dumbells, bar exercises and Indian
clubs and the performance on paral-
lei bars concluded with ''living pyra-
mid" feat rarely performed by girls.
The classes in the institute are held
in the evening, and the young women
who attend them are employed, as q

be treated in the same fashion. A
combination of gold cord and cream
or ecru lace is charming for cream,

treated with silver cord is effective
over white satin for a black dress or

lisse or grenadine can also be made
by stamping the fabric with transfers
on the wrong side, placing the design
over white cloth and then outlining

The Cara of Gloves.

In warm weather gloves grow shah
by very quickly. When the hand per-
spires freely. as it always does in
summer, it is almost impossible to
keep even the incest gloves looking
we'll for any length of time, unless
the hands are dipped and rubbed into
fine oatmeal just before the gloves
are slipped on. The meal will absorb
the perspiration that is the cause OF
the gloves becoming stiff and discol-
ored, and keep the hands, at least for
time, quite dry. Instead of the oat-
meal fuller's earth may be employed.
When the gloves are removed, lit
tie French chalk, fuller's earth, vio-
let powder or oatmeal should be
sprinkled into them, into the fingers,
as we'll as the palms of the gloves;
this will prevent discoloration.
Gloves should never be folded up or
they will wrinkle and fit badly ever
after. They ought to be laid away
quite fiat with all the fingers pulled
out carefully.
When trying on a new glove, have
plenty of time, for if it is put on care
fully and correctly the first time, 1t
will last longer and look better during
it's entire wearing life. The hand
should neither be cold nor too damp.
A hot hand will most likely be damp
if so, oatmeal or fuller's earth Will
correct this, and the hand just COM
fortably warm and perfectly dry
should be carefully inserted into the
glove, finger by finger, the thumb
last. In removing glove turn the
wrist portion over the hand, then
loosen the glove from the base of the
fingers not from the nail ends.
When white gloves are slightly
soiled they may be cleansed byrubbing
