EVER LOOKS FOR TROUBLE
Man With Chip on His Shoulder is to

From the San Francisco Post.
The really unhappy man, whose unhappi-
ness is his own fault, is the one who is for
ever carrying "a chip upon his shoulder
Perhaps his happiness is his unhappiness
for when he is not engaged in a personal
alteration he is broodng over some fam
cied slight and awaiting favorable oppor-
tunity to give vent to his wrath.
The man with the chip on his shoulder is
easily recognized and his society by wise
people is carefully avoided. He can go no.

There are some women similarly consti-

they close them in sleep These people are
indeed to be pittied, IT, indeed, they are not

mind can be SO fostered that the petu-
lancy grows to be malignant disease and
leads sometimes to the insane asylum. Par
ents who notice in their children this fret
full, quarreling disposition can easily find
a remedy. They may not agree to the
measure-simply good. sound thrashing
Every one has heard of the story of the
chi.d who was continually whimpering and
quarreling. In despair the mother cried:

whipping and there was a marked improve
ment in her temper.

even on fairly decent roads should be &C
ccmpiished easily in three weeks takes over
two months we have learned something of
value concerning the condition of our high
ways. When an automobile has to carry a
wrecking outfit, with a tackle and derrick
post to pull itself out of mudholes; when it
has to go five miles out of its way to find
place where it climb a railroad en-
bankment and cross river on the ties, and
when it has to ford other rivers because
there are no bridges at all, the scheme of
national transcontinental boulevard seems
to have its advantages.
OF course not very many people would
traverse such boulevard from end to end,
although there is no reason why transcon-
tinental automobile trips on a good road
should not be popular among those with
time and money enough to indulge in them,
but the national highway would link every
town along its route to its neighbors, and
the scarcity of three-thousand-miiet tourists
would be fully compensated by the abund
ance Of century sprinters.

The force used in throwing the rock for
ward over the head comes from the whole
front part Of the body. the inside portions
OF the arms and the hands, Therefore
these parts are immensely benefited. While
throwing the rock step out well with the
rear leg. Be careful to face forward.
This exercise can be made extremely eff
cacious to the lungs by inhaling deeply
while carrying the rock back of the head
and exhaling when throwing.
". The Back Throw.-This is of great
value to person with large abdomen, as
1t reduces 1t by unusual contraction.
While facing well forward grasp a rock
in both hands and bend and spread the legs
well apart, keeping them on line. Next,
bend the body and place the arms between
the legs so that the rock will be held just
back of the calves of the legs. (Figure A.
Then, by the power Of the arms and the
back, straighten up and throw the rock
forward: or the rock be hurled back

arms are sent between the legs as much as
possible.
This is one of the best known exercises
for the lumbar region and the legs.
When the rock is thrown forward the
back and the shoulders are developed;
when between the legs the abdominal re-
gion and the muscles on the inside of arms
and legs are sharply looked after.
Many other movements can be easily de-
vised, throwing the rock sidewlse over

Special Correspondence of The Evening star.
PARIS, February 81, 1908.
The midwfnter of our modistic discomfort
IS made glorious by the wealth of spring
gowns which greet one on every side here
in Paris. Columbine's and Ritz are crowd
ed with gay and smartly dressed women,
most of whom are en- route to and from
the fashionable winter resorts. THESE
places even along the sunny Riviera are
not at their best climatieally this year.
Still the cold there is a degree warmer
than the kind the capital has been furnish
ing lately.
But to return to our spring styles. Many
persons who have never visited the Paris
Ian capital imagine the first French models
to be exaggerated and hideous productions,
whereas in reality the most beautiful
modes in the world are those displayed by
the best French couturieres In this little
word best lies all the differene between
what is and what is not creation Take,
for instance, the French stage and remem-
Der what lovely toilets are seen there.
These of necessity are trif1e exaggerated,
but are still in exquisite taste. Really life
is not the easy thing for women some peo-
ple like to make us believe 1t to be-that
is for the smart leader of fashion who Is
obliged to hold the mirror of style up to
her particular set. A man has no ldea or
the worry of dress, and worry Is not too
correct in ones ideas of what to wear on
every possible occasion, and this in itself
Is no easy matter, although 1t is the secret
OF q well-gowned woman.
We must be sweet and amiable and ready
to meet every emergency, to be prepared
for afternoon teas, morning walks, motor
rides small dinners and large receptions
In fact for everything that comes along
and last but by no means least, we must
select all the costumes for these functions.
Ina CINE buying ones summer gowns when
the snow is on the ground! But unless this
is done the opportunity to get the most
exclusive designs never comes second
time.
The keynote of fashion now Is pictures
uueness. and this effect is best carried out
in the styles of 1880, with their dropping
lines which are beautiful when well put
up and worn by tall. willowy femininity.
OF late our manner of dressing has changed.
We no longer consider 1t necessary to wear
one particular material at one season of the
year only We wear nowadays exactly
what suits us-mousseline de sole, lace, en-
broidered net and Grape, If 1t be our pleas
ure-from January to December. The
times are past when velvets and dark
clothes were essential in winter.
The Tailor Gown.
The tailor gown has changed somewhat
this spring. 1t Is less severe and more
elaborate. Milady now has becoming vests
and iabots to wear with this all round
mighty apt to look her prettiest.
Invisible stripes and checks In self-colors
are favorte materials for these frocks,
