With the demand for originality and
nne workmanship artists who were not
overwhelmed with orders for pictures
have turned their studios into work
shops, and find ready sale for articles
of a practical nature, which, from
their unique design and careful execu-
ton. are real works of art. 1t is not
remarkable that they should realize
the possibilities of leather as a ma
terial for decorative purposes, for
leather, being a natural substance, like
piece of fine-grained wood or block
Of marble, has beauty particularly
it's own, which by proper treatment
is brought to perfection. Indeed, it
has long history of usefulness, dat
ing from the time when primitive man
clothed himself in skins, but it is only
lately that the variety of skins and
the different methods of staining and
dressing have produced surfaces at
tractive to the amate0r.-Marie Van

MEMS GARB FOR WOMEN.
! ent Feminine styles Are Un-
healtbful and Immoral.

DIR. Mary Walker for well-nigh Is
years has preached dress reform for
women. Her ideas, as much as her pc
culiar adoption of male attire, have
made of her a national character. She
is now past go years of age, but is
more than ever committed to her
ideas.
In a recent article published by the
Chicago American she advocates the
adoption by women of male attire for
the following reasons:
Did you ever watch Flora MacFlim
sy stepping on or off a car? Could
there be anything more grotesque
AS the car approaches she grabs fran.
tically bunch of dry goods which as
trailed for blocks behind her in the
mud. Swishipg them about her until
she has bound up her knees as if in a
wise, she essays to step into the car
But the yards of lingerie and dress
hamper her. 1t requires the greatest
effort to mount the step. 1t is often
times accompanied with the sacrifice
OF her expensive costume.
The other day as left a Broadway
car behind Flora. I inadvertently
stepped upon her ladyship's train. The
rip of the sheeny silk brought terror
even to me. She glared at me Zero.

necessary that you should have a dry
goods roll trailing behind you.'

stomach and intestines. Congestion
begets inflammation and the latter ex.
element of the part inflamed.

cifc gravity.
can swing in and out of car in
less time than il takes Flora MacFIim-
sy to gather her skirts daintily.
There should be no sex in dress. A
woman should not be forever pro-
claiming as from a sign board: 'I am
a womanl" Why is it necessary for
her constantly to conjure up thoughts
Of sex difference? I think 1t i'm
moral.
To-day we call love a passion. True
love is quality of the mind, not of
the body. Until men love with the
mind woman viii not have her right
place In the world. Passion is brutal;
love is divinei
Does the modern form of evening
dress-undress call it-appeal to the
passions or the souls of men? DO the
yards of dainty laees, the variegated
hosiery, the thousand and one what
nots of the modern maiden's gown ap-
peal to the purer or baser idea?
There would be fewer crimes
against women II the suggestive in
Noman's wardrobe were eliminated.

(Hailed by Artists as a New Type OF
American Beauty)
of the leading artists and scuIptors
Already her face has been put on
canvas by such painters as Carl Blen-
ner, Carroll Beckwith, Levy and Irv.
ing Wiles Church.
1t is Ryland w. Phillips, the artist
photographer, who claims the honor
OF having first discovered this new
beauty. Last October he arranged
to have her come to his studio and
pose for several pictures, which were
later placed on exhibition at the
Photographed society and created
wide discussion. In speaking of Miss
Nesbit, Mr.. Phillips said:
Miss Nesbit has a mobile face, vet
she can change her personality in
looks, gesture and effect quicker than
anyone else 1 have ever seen. She
can change her whole expression in
stantly from sorrow to gladness,
every feature adding TO the total
transformation. Miss Nesbit is a
great beauty. She has a splendidly
developed head and face showing
unusual character. About her fores
head there are lines of exceptional
beauty denotlng great intellectual
power"
Besides her beauty, Miss Nesbit is
endowed with gift of dramatic tai
ent and emotional capacity sufficient
to warrant her in hoping to attain
success on the stage, for which she
ts now preparing herself.

Row TO BE HEALTHY.
Take an Air Bath Every Morning and
Every Night for the BENEFIT of
Muscles and Lungs.

Two baths, say the newest health
authorities, should be taken every
morning.
For no less important than the tub
bath for the body is the air bath for
the lungs.
Perhaps you have never taken an
air bath and mistakenly fancy that
it may be necessary to turn yourself
inside out to accomplish it.
On the contrary, the directions are
extremely simple.
You need no apparatus and il takes
but a moments time and very little
effort.
Every night the lungs become filed
up with impure air and more or less
poisonous gases. A person may go
all day without Kidding his lungs of
these impurities. Therefore it is as
important to battle the lungs every
day as the body.
Few people know how to breathe
correctly, The lungs are not filed by
merely expanding the upper portions
of the chest and raising the shout
ders. The entire front of the chest
should be forced out as one inhales.
There are number of exercises for
expanding the chest which YOU can
practice In your room as we'll as in a
gymnasium. A doorway will serve
as well as the most complicated gym
nasium apparatus. A narrow door
way is preferred. Stand directly un-
der the frame and place the hands
nat on the decreasing, the tips of
the fingers coming at the height of
the shoulders. Walk through the
door without removing the hands un-
til you are arms length away. This
draws back the shoulders and brings
the important chest muscles into
play. Try this for Is minutes every
night and morning. 1t will helm 10
wake you up when you rise and helm
you to get to sleep quickly when YOU
go to bed.
Another plan is to expand the chest
the same way before an open win
dow. Stand about foot back from
the window, placing the hands on the
window frame on either side at the
height of the shoulders. Without
moving the feet, let the BODY swing
forward as far as possible and return
to a perpendicular position. Prac-
tice this about 20 times night and
morning at intervals of ten seconds.
Another exercise bath for the arms
and lungs is to stand with the heels
together and take deep breath.
Then stretch one arm backward and
upward, then the other, meanwhile
moving the body backward, forward
and to the sides while expeling the
breath slowly.-N. Y. World.

(Iias Preached Dress Reform for Women
for Nearly 40 Years.)
Modern forms of dress accentuate
rather than subdue these evil suo-
gestions. what is most daring?" is
the question with the modiste, not
What is purest?"
A woman's charms of person and
mind should be her store of wealth
At present her physical charms are
paraded before the world that all may
see. She does not so parade her beau
ties of mind.
Sometimes her physical charms are
counterfeit; they are used as a snare
She cannot counterfeit her mental
qualities.
In trousers, waistcoat and frock coat
woman would find protection that she
much needs. She would be freer of
motion and limb, would have better
health, cleaner mental condition and
be mans superior in the things she
should have most of-of purity of BODY
and mind.
Soner or later my ideas will bear
full fruit. The wheels of progress
and intellectually move slowly. lido
not expect to live long enough to see
my ideas Of dress the vogue. I shall
