To Develop the Chest,

The neck and chest can be developed
finely in three months by the following
rules:
AS YOU walk about raise the shoul-
ders quickly and then throw them
down. Count quickly as you do it-one-
two-t o-three-raising them to one and so
on. After going through this three
times or more you are ready to walk
properly. Keep your chest out and be
careful each time not to let the shoul-
ders come forward at the last count
three. They must go down and back,
if anything.
AS you walk continually keep the
chest pushed out and the abdomen and
stomach forcibly drawn in. See how
long you can hold your breath, and as
YOU hold it raise the chest higher and
higher. This is what singers do when
they wish to sustain long passages in
one breath.
When you find you must exhaust
your breath do not let the chest fall.
but take the breath instantly and
quietly through the nose only and by
pushing out the sides. Then instantly
begin slowly drawing in the sides and
abdomen and raise the Chest higher
and higher.
ANY ore who wiz try this will in
crease in measure from shoulder to
shoulder and around the bust two
inchec in three months. - New York

so in the treatment Of infants and chill

the most distressing of infantile hu-

with wax, The outfit consists OF a
small alcohol lamp, wooden block,
upon which the lamp stands. and a
metal plate supported over the lamp
by three brass rods. Then there are
sticks of sealing wax Of every concelv-
able hue, an aluminium stirring rod and
a square of glass upon which the hot
sticks are laid after being used.
The effects produced resemble enam-
ell. Cloisonne can. be initiated by using
the snangled sealing wax as a back
ground and pure colors for the design.
Very pretty results are also obtained
in mosaic effects. Among the various
little articles made of this medium for
decoration are photograph frames.
These are made of cardboard. The
wax is heated and dropped on the card,
then heated again and blended with
the pointed end of the stirring rod.
After it is cool the frame may be
trimmed with a knife OF scissors to
the desired shape.
The work is very simple. though
some little experience is required to
blend the different colors Of wax neat

genious and charming pieces may be
evolved by the use of the keroo. Eff
fective designs are obtained by spread
ing a background of dark blue wax
upon the desired article, and then near

ored wax which are blended with the
rod after having been melted.

THE JEWEllED KEY.
A Useful Fad That Has Lately Arrived in

A Useful Fad That Has Lately Arrived in
the World OF Dress.
Have you noticed here and there at
| the Horse Slow woman Smartly
gowned in a walking suit and, hang
ing from the chain which nowadays al
most every woman wears, jewelled
key? One was seen on noted society
woman who was wearing black and
white check silk. The keys have not
been worn with the most elaborate
costumes, though they are handsome
enough. But they seem to smack OF
matters practical, and so far have been
relegated to the more informal gowns.
But no doubt some girl whose jewelled
trinklet is the key to something very
, precious and romantic, will wear hers
on all occasions. and then the key fad
will rage triumphant.
The jewelled key is quite one Of the
latest caprices of dress. Keys of cab
inets, desks, wardrobes and jewel
boxes are being made Of gold. silver OF
! other valuable metals in such pretty
guise that they can be strung on neck
chains or worn on chatelaine pen
dants or watch fobs.
Some keys Of ingenious patterns are
arranged on swivel which enables
them to shut into cases Of fancy shaped
hearts, crescents or medallions hand
| somely enamelled or decorated with
crest or monogram. All these caskets
and treasure boxes of rare wood ard
leather, gold mounted. which the
jewellers provide are fitted with keys
of distinctive pattern and workman
ship.
Some of the gold keys made to or
der have gems in the top or semi
precious stones introduced unobtrusive.
". Even the keys small enough to be
concealed in the corsage are designed
so as not to tarnish or damage delicate
| fabrics.
People inclined to be careless like
key of such precious nature that it will
impress itself on the memory. And
travellers setting out on long trips fire.
quently take along the key to their
most valued possessions in the hand

worn as a trinket and be kept con-
stantly in view. Such trinket keys are
sometimes used as bangle on a brace

Attention to Details.

The details Of gown or costume are
q point of much consideration this sea-
son, says Toilettes. Much delicate
handwolk appears, which at once
raises a garment above the common
place in these days, when machine
made, ready.to-wear clothes are turned
out by dozens. Pin-tucking, feather
stitching and fagoting and hemstitch-
ing done by hand always lend distinc-
ton 10 whatever they adorn. Correct
cut. correct lines and correct set Of all
the different parts of the gown and the
girdle, stock and other accessories are
of the utmost Importance, and are the
cachet Of up-to-date, successful dress
making.

Miladi's Mouclioir.

The handkerchief is no longer con-
tent to be merely bit of fine linen,
edged perhaps with a note of trir1-
ming.
No, indeed! Frivolous it may be.
But fashionable it must be.
The well-dressed girl will have sew
eral handkerchiefs to match each OF
her gowns. Either a hemstitched
square of the goods, trimmed in lace
or a round bit. also edged in lace, will
answer the purpose.
If she wears a pongee gown, she
must have a mouchoir of the same
fabric. and, if the gown is trimmed
or embroidered, it is proper to adorn
the tiny square with the same trim
ming.
Pink. blue or lavender linen, en-
broidered in white, makes pretty
effect. which will be largely adopted.
This combination is worn with the
popular wash gowns Of linen or can
vas. The white embroidery on the
handkerchief matches that on the
gown.

Moravians, two per cent; German
Swiss and French four per cent; jap
