HOW TO WALK UPSTAIRS.

"a. L yotsl are a woman and wish to
ese altOgether charming, don't imagine
Mat it enough to have pretty face,
Bhscf1ating smile and to have mas
.ered the art of conversation.
It is also imperative that you know
how to walk upstairs.
1t is fallacious to assume that
graceful woman knows by instinct
how to climb stairs. 1t is a little trick
left out of natures category of charms,
and it has to be acquired with some
care and difficulty. But it pays. And
If you question the necessity for it,
watch carefully the next woman you
see going upstairs and you will be con-
Yinced.
The woman who has mastered the
art of going upstairs in truly scien-
tific fashion is the one who, as 10
her gait, may be likened to a Diana
following the hounds. So enthusiastic
is one deyotee of this theory that she
says:
place me with my rival in the
presence Of a man in whom we are
both interested, and the first thing
I should do would be to walk upstairs.
This would be the very last thing she
would dare attempt if unframed in
the art"
To mount stairs properly there
should be no waddling from side to
side-nOne whatever; no trudging, as
though the object were to push holes
In the steps; no leaning forward and
no apparent weariness. The body
should remain erect, the step should
be taken with the toe, and the move.
ment to the next step made with a
springing motlOn-a Caress Of the
structure, if you will, instead of a
kick. This produces a gradual, grace
full, pOetical elevation, instead of
cumbersome hauling of the body up

TO PRESERVE BEAUTY.

| think a few hints on the hygiene
of the skin may prove OF service to
many Of our sex. The world of women
is apt to get divided into two classes
the women who make a fetch of
their compilations and the women who
do not try to make the best of the
natural gifts that nature has be-
slowed upon them.
Without entering on the vast sub
ject of the value of relative washes
or tonics for the skin, l wish to give
a few hygienic hints which may be
found of service to those who have the
womanly instinct of wishing to make
the best of the beauty and health that
Providence has given them.
Sleep is one of the great preservers
of youth. Eight hours of regular sleep
at night and short nap during the
day will do much to keep the face free
from wrinkles. Always sleep with the
bedroom windows open a few inches
at the top, both in summer and winter.
A daily morning bath, teptd in winter
and cold in summer, with brisk rub
to follow will be found to keep the
skin fresh and clear.
At least a couple Of hours must bn
spent in the open air. either in walk
ing, bicycling, or playing games, as
circumstances permit.
All tight clothing must be avoided,
as it disturbs the circulation, and is
often the cause of enlarged veins and
red noses
The effect of diet on the skin IS
of the utmost Importance, and many
dermatolOgists have made a careful
study of this aspect of the question.
Abstention from all rich food and
stimulants has been tried with sue
cess. A great lady who was famous
even in her old age for her beautifully
clear complexion and freedom from
wrinkles, was once persuaded to tell
the secret of her youthful looks. The
answer was very simple. Abstinence
had been the rule of her life. No tea,
coffee. or stimulant of any kind; in
stead of taking animal food, try some
boiled fish, or a couple Of eggs every
day. Drink lemonade or water, eat
! dppleS, grapes anu MSS AS6 uloAly ASA'NS
the raw juice of lemon every other
day
Never fail to walk several miles
per day Battle frequently in almost
cold water. Above all, never let any
thing have the power to worry you,
but always try to remain calm and
| cheerful.
This excellent advice if possible to
follow, is worthy of trial can only
offer it to my readers with the as
surance that it has proved successful,
and has helped in more than one case
to preserve youth and beauty. 1t is
needless to add that this goes long
way to create happiness.-London

sERArED FoR HIS HONESTY.
Peculiar Way in Which the sultaD
Treats His Officials.

Said Pasha, the grand vizier OF Tur'
key, Is believed to be an honest man
He is one of the few prominent ON
cials of the government who has not
amassed a fortune while in office. For
that and other reasons he has many
bitter and revengeful enemies. Six
years ago, when he was grand vizier,
he endeavored to punish certain in
fiuential pashas for robbing the gov
ernment. They engaged in a con.
spiracy against him and got the ear OF
the Sultan. He believed their state
ments, and sent the Kapu-aghasi, chief
of the white eunuchs and first officer
of the imperial bed chamber-the Sui
tan's most confidential man-to sum
mon Said Pasha to his presence. The
Kapu-aghasi is always an unwelcome
messenger, because the Sultan trusts
him when he will trust nobody else
When he carries a message it has I'm.
usual significance.
Said Pasha understood the situa.
ton, and, instead Of going to the pal
ace, sought an asylum at the British
embassy, where Lord Dufferin, then
ambassador, gave him protection. No
body knew what had become of the
grand vizier until after seven days,
when he sent a carefully prepared re-
port of his proceedings and the mo.
tive for conspiracy against him to the
Sultan by the hand of the British am
bassador. The latter explained to the
Sultan his ideas of the case, and
vouched for Said Pasha as an honest,
truthful and loyal man. The Sultan
was not convinced, but agreed to ac-
cept Said Pasha's resignation without
further proceedings, and gave a for.
NAL assurance that if his former
Prime Minister left the embassy and
returned to his own home he would
not be injured. Lord Dufferin notified
the Sultan that the British govern
ment would hold him responsible for
any injury that Said Pasha might suf.
fer and that in case Of his death not
even a plea of sickness would be ac.
cepted.
From that hour Said Pasha was the
safest man in Turkey. The Sultan
sent his own physician and two of his
most trusted aids-de-camp to live in
his house to protect him, and, adopt
ing Lord Dufferins suggestion, made
an investigation of the charges against
him. Nobody knows how he got at
the facts. but he executed some Of his
lew favorites, sent others into exile
ID finally restored Said Pasha to
q wer. He is still Prime Minister.

THE YOuNG.OLD WOMAN.

However do you suppose they
manage to keep it up" exclaimed a
comfortable looking matron indicat-
ing by a glance a party of four impos-
ing looking mOndaines, dressed in the
height Of fashion, who were seated at
a nearby table in a we'll known res
taurant and talking together with the
yivacity and loud laughter Of untamed
schoolgirls. "Who would imagine" 3"
she continued, that those women were
my contemporaries? And yet they
are all as old as / am"
The contrast was undeniably strik-
ing, only Mrs. a., who made the re-
mark did not realize how much it was
in her own favor. Middle aged she
undoubtedly was. and her hair was
silvered, but the sweetness Of her kind
face and the dignity Of her figure and
dress were far more attractive than
the pseudo youthfulness Of her old
companions.
The latter type we're in their way,
however, rather wonderful, and Mrs.

ARTISTIC COMBINATION.

An artistic combination that came
from a mOdiste's wOrkrOOms showed
how three blues and white might be
happily toned into a perfect SYM
Dhony. A short length of rough blue
irish frieze was the starting point
from which this construction began.
The frieze was cut in a habit backed
trained walking skirt garnished by
bands of blue French serge. Just
enough frieze was left from cutting
y skirt to give a very carefully
shaped coatee that was decorated with
more Of the serge, and portions of a
half yard of handsome cream white
melton formed the double collar for a
front made from a bit of cream white
panne sparkling with tiny dark blue
spangles. Just enough Of the panne
was found on a remnant counter to
supply a pOunched front, which was
set on a vest lining that buttOned in
she rear, and though every inch Of the
material had to be purchased at bar

elegant to a degree.-Chicago Record.

with invisible hooks and eyes, but Is
usually worn open.
The regulation two-piece coat sleeves
have slight fulness on the shoulders,
fit the arms closely and dare in bell ef-

Machine stitching on the edges and

the collarless EtOns this season are
strapped with bands of the moire, and
others have black broadcloth figures
appliqued on the back and sleeves.
To make the jacket in the medium

PERIL IN CELLULOIp COMB.

mable that il may at any time ignite,

and that in any case it will do so in
