Grandmother's Corner.

Every year when Christmas comes
around Grandmother becomes earnestly
beseeching 10 ali the family in her re-
quests that they viii make her no pres
ents.
Il have everything I need and want,
dear children" she will say over and
over, $50 keep your money for your
selves; buy yourselves presents-that will
please me most"
But every year Grandmother receives
presents from all the family, and as she
would not say what she wanted they are
generally hit-Or-miss gifts, which Grand
mother, in the privacy of her room,
would sigh and shake her head over. and
wish again that the dear children would
not be so generous and foolish
So this year Grandmother made up her
mind to head things off effectually by
getting up Il list of things that she want
ed. She chuckled a good deal as she
made the list, and put down impossible
things such as she knew We're unprocurA-
BILE. She headed the list:
a diamond tiara.
A big red automobile.
A residence at Rittenhouse SQUARE.
4 summer residence at Newport.
A bottle of the Elixer of Youth
A new crop of soft brown hair.
A red velvet dress, trimmed with
spangles.
A saddle horse.
But here a horrible thought struck
Grandmother. Suppose those foolish
children should decide to club together
and get her even one of these things
a tiara, say, or the saddle horse? Heav-
en- forbid!
SO she tore up the list and sat lost in
thought. She knew that she would have
presents given her, so why not be sensi-
BILE and make list of things she really
would like?
So, signing, she took up the pen once
more and made out the following list

Skin Sofa Pillows.

The woman who does not own a skin
sofa pillow has not acquired the latest
fad. which was born of sorrow over the
death of n pet.
This pet was a calf, which had met an
untimely end, thereby awakening much
grief among the feminine members OF
the family. In the midst of their woe
it suddenly occurred to one OF the girls
that. inasmuch as a stuffed calf would
be rather out Of place in the household,
the skin might be utilized for some other
purpose. This was when the pillow idea
presented itself
The men scoffed at the proposition and
said that it was absurd. but they had to
admit that the glossy brown skin. with
its beautifully marked white spots, was
too handsome to be buried with the calf
SO before the last sad rites were per-
formed the body of the little Jersey was
skinned. so
In due time the skin was cured.

air cushion. 1t was made square with
the exception of the corners which Were
trimmed to represent ears-three at each
corner, and tied with strips of calfskin
in bowknot. When done the skin had
the look of Il delicate shade of panne

This novel method of preserving the
pet calf'S skin suggested to some one
else an idea which resulted in another
unusual pillow. On a square of plain
channels skin Il fireplace was painted,
bricks and all. showing the glowing
wood, the kettle and andirons. Paper

cut and a piece of black fur was brought
into requisition for the tabbes The fur

II is not so much a matter of bone-and-
tissue balance as it is natural grace. poise
and dellcacy of motion. The woman who
allows her chest 10 cave in like fallen
layer cake Is the rare thing nowadays
as the crowds of women go.
The lessons Of the Physical enthusiasts
have struck home and done their yoFk
for good and aye. The victims Of super
nuous homes and blue spirits have faken
heart, braced up and held their head
nigh and proper and are going their way
with mere fresh air in their chests than
these recentaeles ever dreamed of enjoy
ing.
Hip pads. bustles and other grotesque
e0ntTiYances have found their proper
sphcre-the ash heap. Even the penny
wise have discovered that artificial lines
are hldeous and dreadful. Almost any
woman who wears these monstrosities de-
forms herself
And when these pads playfully tip up
on one SIDE and doiefuily drip down on
the other merry sight does this woman
become. No matter how longwaisted the
beauty candidate may be. 10 matter how
thm or ung2inly, hip pads do not help
one tiny little bit.
\ woman may be : feet 5 in height
and weigh a wretched little % pounds,
but If she learns to carry herself proper

down, her hips back and her abdomen

OF course, a good. well-made corset

choking her to death at the equatorial
line
Time was when a woman thought she
was not pretty of figure unless she WAS
uncomfortable, and knew that Il second
helping of roast beef would make her
gasp. Since the reformation she has dis
covered the Joyous fact that discomfort
means ugliness and that the second serv-
ing of the roast is more necessary than
one inch saved at the waist line.
Shall we call il good sense? CAN il as
YOU please, it certainly has emancipated
the beskirted mortals Il has given
many a hampered stomach Il chance to di-
geSt food and ventilated many a pair of
lungs that needed house cleaning
There is no necessity for a woman to
look like a perambulating bean pole. If
she breathes right and walks right she
will fill out where she ought to fill out
and siacken up where she should
slacken.
There is even more than this in the re-
form. The woman who lives like a
human being and not like a canary bird
is on the straight, long. happy, sunny
road of better conduct With her lungs
doing business as they should and her
stomach satisfied with its wages the
brain receives sparkling stimulus for
work.
1t gets to thinking after Gods own
rules, the woman is better morally and
mentally because she is stronger physic-
ally. Don't call this nonsense. 1t is a
