Developing the Figure.

The last requirement. but an impor-
tant one, is that of exercise for the
development of the figure. Women do
not exercise enough. Aside from using
few Of the muscles, they do not ex-
ercise at all. Their waists and abdom-
NAL muscles are too securely laced in
and boned to admit of freedom, and the
neck is tied so tightly that the head
VIII not turn. Even the arms are re-
stricted, for the new shoulders are
low so that the upper arm cannot be
moved; and the wrists are tightly in
cased.
With the majority of women all eX-
ercise is taken with the muscles of the
knee, with the feet and with a few of
the body muscles. But the great mus
cles of the upper part of the body are
left unused.
To get the straight front you must
Danish the f1abby muscles from the
arms and shoulders and get good.
deep chest inspiration. You must be
able TO lift your body with your arms,
to hang suspended by your hands, to
swing by your finger tips. and to sup
port the body by its upper muscles as
well as by its lower ones.
A child of a month will hang by its
hands to lead pencil. But few full
grown people can support the weight
IOT an instant Dy the ndHds. ct uH-
less one be well developed above the
waist line one cannot hope to have a
pretty figure.
The best exercise is obtained by hard
work. Get into the habit of lifting your
chair for yourself, of waiting upon
yourself of moving yorl arms over
your head, of reaching upon shelves for
articles. of exercising your muscles
upon all occasions possible. And then
take a few well planned exercises for
the development of the shoulders. So
shall you come into the possession of
a perfect figure.

Some D9V.

One of these days it will all be over.
Sorrow and parting, and loss and
gain,
Meetings and partings of friends and
lover,
Joy that was ever 50 edged with
pain.
One of these days will our hands be
folded,
One of these days will the work be
done,
Finished the pattern our lives have
nodded,
Ended our labors beneath the sun.
One of these days will the heartaches
One of these days will the burden
drop;
Never again shall hope deceive us,
Never again will our progress stop.
Freed from the blight of vain en-
deavor
Winged with the health of immortal
life,
One of these days we shall quit for
ever
All that is vexing in earthly strife.
One of these days we shall know the
reason,
Happily, of much that perplexes now.
One of these days in the Lords good
season
Light of His peace shall adorn the
brow.
Blest, though out of tribulation,
Lifted to dwell in His sun-bright
smile,
Happy to share in the great salvation,
Well may we tarry a little while.

possibility of expansion for us. AS
dark cloud suddenly obscures the
brightness of smiling summer sky,
their shadows are cast upon us and NIL

The Devil.


Men don't believe in a Devil now, as
their fathers used to do,
They have forced the door of various
creeds to let His Majesty through.
There isn't print of his cloven foot,
or a fiery dart from his bow
To be found in earth or air today-for
the world has voted so.
But who is mixing the fatal draught
that palsies heart and brain,
And loads the bier of each passing
year with ten hundred thousand
slain?
Who blights the bloom of the land to-
day with the fiery breath of hell,
II the Devil isn't and never was?
Won't somebody rise and tell?
Who dogs the steps of the toiling saint,
and digs the pit for his feet?
Who sows the tares in the field of time
wherever God sows wheat?
The Devil is voted not to be, and of
course the thing is true;
But who just now is doing the work
the Devil alone should do?
We are told he does not go about like
a roaring lion now;
But whom shall we hold responsible for
the everlasting row
To be heard in home, in church and
state to the earth's remotest
bound.
If the Devil by a unanimous vote is
nowhere to be found?
Won't somebody step to the front
forthwith. and make their bow
and show
How the frauds and the crimes of
single day spring up? We want
to know.
The Devil was fairly voted out, and of
course the Devils gone;
But simple people would like to know
who carries his business on.

The Power of Personality.

There is an indescribable something
in certain personalities which is
greater than mere physical beauty and
more powerful than learning. This
charm of personality is a divine gift
that often sways the strongest char

the destinies of nations.
We are unconsciously Influenced by
people who possess this magnetic
power The moment we come into
their presence we have a sense of en-
largement of expansion in every III

US possibilities of which we previous
had no conception. Our horizon broad

through all our being; we experience 4
sense of relief, as if great weight
which long had pressed upon US had
been removed.
We can converse with such people in
a way that astonishes us. although
meeting them, perhaps. for the first
time. We express ourselves more
clearly and eloquently than we be-
lieved we could. They draw out the
best that is in US: they introduce us.

Pain and Peace.

The day and night are symbols of Gre
alton,
And each has part in all that God has
made;
There is no ill without its compensa-
And life and death are only light and
shade.
There never beat heart so base and
sordid
But felt at times a sympathetic glow:
There never lived virtue unrewarded.
Nor died a vice without its need of
woe.
In this brief life despair should never
reach us:
The sea looks wide because the shores
The star that led the Magi still can
teach us
The way to go if we but look to Him.
And as we wade, the darkness closing
DER us,
The hungry waters surging to the
chin,
Our deeds will rise like stepping stones
before US
The good and bad-for we may use
the sin.
A sin of youth, atoned for and for
given
Takes on virtue, if we choose to
find:
When clouds across our onward path
are driven,
We still may steer its pale light be-
hind
a sin forgotten is in part to pay for
A sin remembered is a constant gain:
SORROW. next joy, is what we ought to
pray for,
AS next to peace we profit most from
pain.

Don't Take Your Troubles to Bed.

You may labor your fill, friend of mine,
if you will:
You may worry bit if you must;
You may treat your affairs as a series
of cares,
You may live on a scrap and crust:
But when the days done, put it out of
your head;
Don't take your troubles to bed.
You may batter your way through the
thick of the fray,
You may sweat, you may swear, you
may grunt
You may be a jack fool if you must,
but this rule
Should ever be kept at the front:
Don't fight with your pillow, but lay
down your head
And kick every worriment out of the
bed.
That friend or that foe (Which he is.
don't know,
Death,
Hovers close to your side, while YOU
run or you ride,
And he envies the warmth of your
breath:
But he turns him away, with shake
of his head,
When he finds that you don't take
your troubles to bed.

The Merciful Woman

She had tender loving heart
That often throbbed with woe
Because of cruel treatment men
Forced brutes to undergo.
And on her fair eXDanse of brow
Were lines Of deepest care
Because men shot in wanton sport
The birds that fly the air
AT last determined she to write
tender, strong address.
And have it printed-with slug heads
IN all the public press.
She wrote in strong, yet tender vein,
She covered sheets a score,
Then took it to the editor
And this is what she wore:
A robin redbreast on her hat.
minks skin round her throat;
A mother seal gave up her life
To make my lady's coat.
Two otter tails of silken sheen
Adorned each beaver cuff:
-Four muskrats yielded UP their lives
That she might have muff.
She drove pair of speedy nags
Whose coats had just been clipped,
And which, hard hit by frosty winds,
In anguish pranced and skipped.
And while she to the editor
Just talked, and talked. and talked,
The shiv'ring coachman held two steeds
Whose tails had just been locked.

Scold it in. mould it in,
All that they can swallow;
Fold it in, hold it in,
Still there's more to follow.
Faces pinched, sad and pale,
Tell the same unvarying tale,
Tell of moments robbed from sleep,
Meals untasted. studies deep;
Those whoive passed the furnace
through
With aching brow will tell TO you
How the teacher crammed it in,
Rammed it in, jammed it in,
Crunched it in, punched it in,
Rubbed it in, dubbed it in,
Pressed and caressed it in.
Raped it in and stopped it in,
When their heads were hollow.

A Dream cf Lie.

Two cooling. helpless, loving babes,
Two chattering toddlers small,
Two playmates meath the cooling
shades
OF oak trees grim and tall.
Two pupils of the self-same school;
A youth and maiden fair;
Naught know they of the dreary rule
Of life, so full of care.
Two lovers in the eventide;
Two lives, now blent in one;
Two graves upon the hillside:
And thus the dream is done.

Do you want to get the straight
front? The majority of women, the
women who want to be pretty and
fashionable, now crave the straight
front line. This is the line which eX-
tends from the bust to the abdomen,
and to be in accord with the new style
of beauty it must extend downward
and inward. measured from the bust.
The figure must be full at the bust line,
but perfectly fiat at the abdomen thus
giving the straight line front
This line used to be called the Dusk
not bust-line, and at one time it waS
the most fashionable line that woman
could possess.
But in those days the busk-not bust
line was straight up and down; and
to make herself fiat front woman
wore a wide thin board which was
sewed in her stays. No bust was per-
MISSILE, and well developed women en-
dured fortunes to make themselves fat
in front
Now, after many years, the straight
front has returned, but it is a well de-
veloped front, and the straight line eX-
tends fi9m the tip of the bust to the
abdomen, sloping inward all the time,
for the abdomen must be fiat.
To get the straight front. and this
fiat abdomen with the full chest is the
aim of every woman who would look as
she should look. And, what is more. it
Is the aim of every woman to be able
to keep this figure whether laced in
her stays or dressed for the house in
negligee.

of mind. The girl who is truly up-to-

self from the unpleasantness that is

If you are larger in the abdomen
than in the bust you must equalize the
figure by adjusting heart-shaped pad
TO the bust A still prettier method is
to fasten a large pink satin bow con-
sisting of four wide loops to the front
Of the bust pad. Let it be thick, so as

bow can show through the transparent
summer waists and look pretty. This

Much depends on the way you breathe,
and in this respect there is nothing to
be advised except that plan of breath

breaths that go to their very depths.
This is called abdominal breathing be-
cause the breathing is felt right down
into the abdomen. Abdominal breath
ing develops the lungs and broadens
the chest, and so helps out With the
wide figure. You could scarcely form
