THE WELL-BRED WOMAN.
Perfection of Her Training Is Indi-
Gated by the Way She Sits
Down and Arises.

"My dear" said the old lady, sit is
worse than crime; it is i'll bred.'
Nothing points out the well-bred
woman more quickly than the posi-
tion she takes when she sits down.
The stamp of vulgarity is marked upon
the woman who sits with her knees
spread far apart; lack of refinement
is shown by knees crossed offensive
ly; lack Of ease by stiff and constrained
positions of the shoulders; a general
carelessness and indifference by the
very common ult of sitting in the
shoulders" that is, of doubling the
spine so that the upper rather than
the lower part of it rests against the
back of the chair.
The body should be placed well back
upon the seat, chair, sofa or whatever
It may be. The feet should rest on the
DOR, one somewhat in front of the
other, because it is easier to rise from
that position. The head must be kept
well up and the chest poised slightly
forward.
The lower part of the spine may be
pressed against the frame of the chair,
but if one, after sitting awhile, should
need to rest little more, the shoulders
may also touch upon the same support.
The hands should remain as they nat
urally fall from this position, hang
ing at the sides, or they may be placed
easily over the arms or back of the
chair, or allowed to lie reposefully on
the lap.
To rise properly from correct sit
ting position there should be several
preparatory movements.
The chest is first poised far forward
and at the same time the foot is drawn
back under the seat. The foot drawn
In should be the one opposite from
the direction to be taken in starting
up.
AS you rise throw the weight firmly
upon the foot in the rear. As the body
comes to its full height change the
weight to the forward foot, so that
the other foot merely touches the
floor very lightly. This brings you to a
standing position, ready to walk easily
in the direction you are going.
Ugly sitting positions and awkward
movements in rising will disappear if
these principles are followed.-N. Y.

daughters grew to be young women.
Misfortunes came when Rachel and
her sister, Lady Troubridge-she
who writes plays-were respectively
II and 10 years old. Their mother
brought the two to London and
sought to exc out the modest living
which her husband, still in Norfolk,
managed to give her, by placing her
daughters in a milliner's shop.
Luck came first in the person of
Adeline, duchess of Bedford. The
dowager duchess bought hat one
day of an exceedingly pretty girl
who happened to be Rachel Gurney,
and as she wore it continued mean
while to think of the charming girl
who sold it to her. She looked into
the shop another day and still an
other, asked a few leading questions
and discovered Rachel Gurney's sto-
ry. Thereupon she adopted her.
The Gurneys concluded they could
support one girl if the other were
well provided for and permitted
Rachel to become the legally-adopted
daughter of Adeline, duchess of
Bedford. Lady Troubridge's mar
riage was indirectly the result of
her sisters going into the haugty
Bedford family. The late duke was
devoted to the child, whom he found
in his old age.
1t was, however, as a comparative
ly dowerless bride that Miss Gurney
came to the young earl of Dudley.
Her position in society was secure,
her beauty and charm universally
recognized. She was and is known
as particularly vivacious and at
tractive woman with great gift for
entertaining. Lord Dudley had
money enough and to spare. He
married the girl with whom he hap
pened to fall in love.

THE COUNTESS DUDLEY.
Wife of Ireland's New Lieutenant
Governor Once Trimmed MIL
Iinery in London.

Countess Dudley, formerly Rachel
Gurney, has not always been favored
of fortune. She who is the new mis-
tress of the vice-regal lodge in Dub
lin and therefore first lady in Ire
land, once upon a time trimmed hats
as apprentice to a London milliner.
Lady Dudley and her good-looking
husband, the new viceroy of Ireland,
afford the English nobility one of
its prettiest romances. 1t is the
old story of love and poverty. Lady
Dudley was well born, although not
of such titled stock as Earl Dud
ley boasted. The Gurneys were an
ancient Quaker family of bankers in
Norfolk and the father of Lady Dud
ley was very wealthy until his

MANCHURIA A VAST LAND.
Contains Twenty Millions Of People
and Is Said TO be a Garden Spof.

The most Populous province of
Manchuria is that of Laotung, which
is penetrated by the branch railway
from Harbin to Port Arthur. For a
distance of 400 miles, extending from
the Sungari river to New-Chwang,
the railroad passes through level,
well watered region, densely crowded
with population and under the high
est state of cultivation.
The total populatio of Manchuria
is variously estimated from 10000 600
to 25,oOO,OO but there seems little
doubt that Laoting also has a popu-
lation of as much as 10000 900, and
that the total cannot be much less
than 2o.0Oo,OOO. These, however, are
largely Chinese.
The Manchus are fading race,
their success in arms having, as Is
often the case, led to their ultimate
decay, for ever since the establish
ment of the Manchu dynasty at
Pekin, in 1914, they have been drawn
In large numbers to Pekin and to
the garriSons stationed in all the
principal Chinese towns. Here, liv-
ing comparatively idle life and de-
pending largely upon pensions from
the general government for their
support, they have become enervated,
while the quality Of those left be-
hind in Manchuria has deprecated in
character. The Chinese. on the other
hand, have gradually invaded Man
churia till they carry on nearly all
of its business and swarm in all the
centers of population. Gradually
they are bringing under cultivation
the vast areas of fertile land which
under the Manchus had been devoted
to pasture or left to run to waste.

A neglected cold is frequently the
cause of death.
tits more often, however, the cause Of
some chronic disease.
There is not an organ in the body but
what is liable 80 become seriously de-
ranged by a neglected cold. Diseases
of the kidneys, bladder and digestive
organs are all frequently the result of
a neglected cold.
Hundreds of dollars are spent on doc
tors and medicines trying to cure these
diseases, butuntil the true cause of them
is discovered, there will be no use in
using medicine.
Dyspepsia medicine, diarrhpa medi-
cine and constipation medicine is of no
good whatever when catarrh is the
cause. The catarrh must he treated.
The cause being removed, the derange-
ments will disappear.
Peruna cures catarrh of the digestive
organs, the urinary organs or any of the
internal organs.
If you do not derive prompt and salts
factory results from the use of Peruna
