PoIsE ON HIGH HEELS.
How to Minimize Injury Arising From

From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Muscles well developed and vitality at it's
best are needed to sustain the fashionable
poise of today with the easy grace that
comes the accomplishment without effort.
Fashion DEGREES high heels and a forward
bend at the hips in walking. If you must
bow to fashion, do so with every precaution
for health and comfort. 1 do not advocate
high heels: yet there are exercises to
strengthen the ankles and muscles of the
feet and legs. thereby anevating the gem
eral injury of high heels. The first requi-
site is a shoe of such shape that you may
walk or stand on the balls of your feet
without pressure on the heels; for to walk
gracefully on high heels. you must be indie
pendent of the heel The exercises necessary
to attain these results are: In the house
practice walking on the toes, barefoot
dance, jump run-but keep the heels high
off the floor. Relax the muscles frequently
and if too weak to sustain you any length
of time you will have to practice raising
the heels with the knees unbent. and let
ting them down at two-second intervals.
until you have strengthened the muscles on
the back and lower part of the legs and the
muscles of the feet.
When able to stand on the ball and toes
of either foot, extend the other straight out
in front of you, to the side, and behind
you without losing your balance. You may
be sure of your ability to handle gracefully
anything iii the way of heels Let the heels
touch the ground in walking, but do not
bear you weight on them. To get the right
poise and sustain it easily you should have
good control of the abdominal muscles. A
simple exercise for that purpose is to inhale
deeply, then draw the abdomen in strongly,
forcing the chest up and out Practice this
movement until you finally are able to
sustain the chest in proper position continu-
ously. and to keep the stomach from pro-
truding even while breathing easily and
walking briskly. In practicing the move
ment do not retain the breath too long. If
the chest does not come up easily place the
thumbs under the arms and inhale strongly
EXhale as you finish, but do not drop the
chest. If the muscles are well developed,
with vitality at it's best, Fashions DEGREES

For the Economical Woman.

Many women who dress smartly and go
out a good deal have very little use for
actual evening gowns of the ordinary de-
collete type, but manage with bouses of
the elaborate transparent kind and skirts
of similar cOloring. These are smart enough
for dinners at restaurants and for the
average invitation dinner or for theaters
and concerts, and even with moderate pin
money one or two garments of this descrip-
ton cannot be termed extravagant, as they
are quite suitable for smart summer wear.
The old time contemptuous illusions to
ready made skirts no longer have weight.
since our best houses have produced skirts
made in their own work rooms from the
newest models. When of net lace. crepe de
chine and other soft textures and the cor
rect length and waist measures are OBJ
tanned, the skirt is generally good fit when
worn over a well-cut slip. and every smart
woman is certain to have two or three of
these in her wardrobe.
The very inexpensive skirts are not ad-
visable either in black or white, but a good
black skirt can be bought for from $40 to

Tea Gowns.

There is one garment which all women
are feeling strongly about at the moment,
and that is the really ideal tea or lounge
gown. There Is nothing delicious after

man with the true sense of beauty.
Velveteen is an excellent material for a
tea gown for the economical. Liberty vel

Stitched Scrolls
The sameness of effect impaired by lace
trimmings is varied by the use of stitch

straight lines. These may be adopted even
with filmy evening dresses. as they impart
a fetching aspect to almost any frOck at
the slightest expense for trimmings. With
the new pompadour silks this decoration is
seen to particular advantage. the bands be-
ing of a shade to match some touch Of
color in the flowers.
White cloth gowns are to be among the
springs most cherished types. For sew
eral seasons the white cloth frock has
been favored, but for the spring and sum-
mer Of 1902 it will have a more decided
following. White may be renovated so
thoroughly and SO easiy-a little benZine

much better than colored dress when it

many women who have hitherto rejected
white cloth costumes on the score OF
economy are discovering their mistake.
Dull ocher tints of lace and cloth are

gowns for street wear are made as simply

striking contrast to the richly decorated
white frocks of last year. Plaitings, folds

Pure Air at Home,

Home made pine air, equally benefi-
cal for persons with lung or throat
trouble as the genuine product, has been
introduced by an ingenious inventor. His
object was to bring the balm exhaling pine
woods to the patient when 1t was impossl-

this he seems to have succeeded He has
invented an apparatus that acts on the
principle of a heating furnace. Inside the
furnace layers of pine wood are alternated
with layers of slow-burning material.
When the fire is introduced and the furnace
closed, the mass smolders for weeks.
The vapors emanating from the burning
pine are caught in a tank, cleansed thor

through pipes to rooms all over the build

The vapor is said to have an invigorating

New Tints of the Moment,

Red tones are conspicuous in the win
dows, but comparatively few smart women
affect this color, and it is more generally
worn by young girls and children. Every
effort is made to revive green as a fashion,
able color. but very little will be worn in
cloth and woolen fabrics. although it is
accepted to some extent for evening gowns.
A delicate tint Of lettuce green or lily leaf,
as it Is also termed, is too attractive to be
overlooked, and 1t is extremely smart in
combination with bright dahlia or parma
violet tint. Both the pink and the red coral
tones are fashionable, and very greenish
turquoise is employed as a relief colOring

The fashion of dressing the hair well at

Modes in Coats.

The Russian bolero is happily still with
us and likely to remain for the present;
but, contrary to last seasons decree, it is
being supplemented in many instances with
little basques, the smartest of which are
those starting from the hips to the back,
and even short coattails. thus bringing it
nearer to the original garment from which
1t takes it's name, at the same time reveal

toward a longer coat.
In spite of the dead set which women of

Some of the most prominent hairdreSser5

They fit on the crown of the head. and, in
