Tabithn Sanborn's Ride,

Some of the feats which our fore
mothers performed quite as Il matter
of course when domestic emergencies
occurred We're such as would tax the
endurance and courage of the hardest
athletic maidenS of our own day. Han
nah Sanborn Philbrook. in Il recent
article on oldtime Sanbornton. relates
how an ancestreSs of hers supplied a
deficiency in her weaving apparatus.
She found unexpectedly that her
work required the use of Il certain reed
and harness which could be obtained
only at Il place five miles distant,
reached by Il road leading over a
number Of steep and dangerous hills.
She was alone in the house with
her baby and another young child,
whom she could not leave to go on
an errand Nevertheless, she could
not endure the idea Of wasting time in
waiting for that reed and harness when
if she only had them she could make
such good progress with her web. Her
husband owned the "smartest four.
year-old colt in town. and this lively
animal, nothing daunted, she mounted
with her baby in her arms, taking the
other child on pillion behind her.

can get as good a corset as cost three
times as much few years ago. Those
who fancy the handsomely figured
corsets and cannot buy them can imi-
tate the French method, which is OF
embroidering them by hand.
A delightful little set, Il corset and
corset cover, was embroidered in
pansies. The corset cover was a very
short bolero, little more than a pair
of armhOles. This was embroidered
in purple wash pansies: then came the

How Women Should Stand.

To stand correctly is an art in itself.
Few women know how to assume a
correct upright position. Five min
utes' practice each day will enable
you to solve the problem and give you
a graceful carriage. Walk up to a
wall, touch it with your nose, chest
and toes and you will have the correct
position for standing. The hips should
be thrown back. the abdomen in and
the shoulders squared. This will give
the stylish fiatness that shows off The
fashionable gown. A good exercise to
give you the correct attitude is: Keep
the heels together at an angle of sixty
degrees. having the weight of the body
Eesting on the balls Of the feet-not on
the heels. The chest should be thrown
forward, the chin held in, the abdomen
drawn back and the hips held back.

10 In favor Of the physically perfected
woman. The better prOportioned. the
figure, the more erect the carriage, SO.
much the more artistically simple may
be the garments.
Breathing we will consider at an
other time. Sufficient now to say that
it is astonishing, even appalling, how
little is known on this vitality import
ant subject.
If q girl has been SO fortunate as to
receive physical education while she
is young, so much the better. She then
absorbs the instruction just as she
does lessons in any other branch of her
education, without any clear apprecia
ton of future benefit; later she learns
that true physical culture means cul-
ture in the broadest sense; that it is
not the development of few fOrceful
muscles, but the harmonious develop
ment of mind and body, aiming to
give the highest expression to the spirit
that is within her. We who are older,
to whom the need Of a better body.
a clearer mind and finer soul has
but lately been felt, must first get over
(what is to many bette noir) the initial
effort. Physical culture exercises are
simple and brief. The one essential is
not time or relaxation. but persistency.
In time, a short time, troublesome ef-
fort becomes fascinating habit. and
with strength and grace of body comes
corresponding mental attitude. We
realize how closely mind and matter
are allied and that soul pervades all.
Indeed, bodily training should go hand
in hand with the moral and mental
growth of man or woman.-Mme. AL
