body. if performed in the correct and
on siest way. As usually done, with the
body thrown forward at the hips, the
heel of the foot constantly striking, the
noise of the body Is lost and a great
strain is put on the back, tending to in-
crease the nervousness OF the house
wife. If the body Is carried well poised,
upright from the hips, the ball or the
foot striking the stair first, the knees
being flexible, both in ascending and
descending, all the good effects are OBJ
tanned, and IL much stair climbing Is
done there will be great difference
in the feeling of vitality. Ascending
stairs rapidly by springing from the
ball Of one foot to another forms an ex-
cellent means of strengthening the
ankles and curing a tendency to fiat
feet.
The following exercise is excellent as
nerve and muscle rest in change of
position: Lying at full length on the
back, raise the arms forward, upward
over the head, then stretch the whole
body from the toes to the tips of the
fingers. Hold this position FOR few
seconds, then relax completely Repeat
several times.-Good Housekeeping.
Southern Women as Charmers.
James Whitcomb Riley says: think
the reason Southern women have such
deliciously soft voices may be traced
to the Difference of the men. Southern
men look upon their women as angels.
"When a Southern mans wife or
daughter begins to talk she doesn't
have to yell for the purpose of attract
ing his attention or getting him to stop
his story and give her chance. When
Southern woman speaks the South
! ern man Is silent and attentive. He
listens to her words as If they We're
honey dropping to his lips. This atti-
tude of respect upon the part of the
man for the woman, which seems to be
universal through the South, makes
the Southern woman the gentle, sweet
voiced creature that she is.
Mr.. Riley went on to say that the
only creatures on earth to whom the
women of the South could be COM
pared were the women of the North,
but he doubtless made this prudent
addition to save his scalp. Mr.. Riley
is not the first visitor to this section
who has recognized the charms Of our
Southern women. In the production
of fair women the South excels the
| world.-Atlanta Constitution.

How to Finish Edges of Carpet.
An experienced housekeeper tells
how, when making carpet at home,
she strengthens the edges so they will
not ravel the first time the carpet goes
through its annual beating. After the
breadths of her new carpet have been
sewed together she takes needle
f, threaded with strong linen thread and
overcasts her carpet-not in the ordi-
nary way. She begins at the edge and
takes two or three stitches down into
the carpet as II she We're going to darn
it, then she takes the same number of
stitches back in a slanting direction,
and when she gets to the edge again
she brings her thread over 1t and runs
] her needle through the carpet from the
under side. This process Is combina-
ton of darning and overcasting which
makes the edges firm and even more
durable than the rest Of the carpet.
