WAS IT A BOY OR
 A YOUNG LADY? ?.

FIFE physiculturist and her pupil
 were sitting at one end of rail- way car in long local train. It was packed. Men, women and children stood in the aisles so close together that a girl could not get her hand up to see if her hat was on straight.
 The physiculturist and her pupil saw a forest of heads around and above them. Tn little slit along the side of the car next the windows they could see the opposite end seat, with it's oc- cupants facing them. Suddenly the pupil exclaimed
 What pretty boy that is in the end seat!''
 The teacher looked. The soft felt hat was one that might be worn by either a boy or girl-black, with a band, and no other trimming. There was a plain black coat collar. with strip of linen collar above it, a small blue necktie knotted in front with perfect correct ness. The hair was smoothly brushed back from the full brow and above the ears. The face, with it's clear, shining, clean skin, was very attractive. It had the bright, brisk, self reliant look, with out bit of brassiness in it, that one likes to see in every face. Good temper and good health shone in it. too. The eyes were bright, intelligent and spar king, with the steady, straightforward expression that makes one feel as if there were still some wholesome. hon.

business of his country at Washington, again the news dispatches said this manifested a desire on the part of Ger many to maintain the closest relations with the United States Undoubtedly the fact that both gentlemen had bril- liant and tactful American wives had due weight in the making of the ap- pointments. With the influence their high position gives them, Lady Herbert and Freiherrin von Sternburg have 1t in their power, strictly in the line of their social role, to contribute quite as much as their distinguished husbands to the harmony and friendship of Ger many and Great Britain with the Unit ed States. There, too, is Martha Hoy, daughter of Paymaster Hoy, United States navy, married only last month to MT. Pierre Rogestvensky, secretary of the Russian embassy at Washing ton.
 What high foreign officials would do if America did not furnish them with wives I don't know. There is Lord Curzon of India His administration gains most of it's social luster from his American wife. There is Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, colonial secretary of Great Britain, whose wife was Miss Endicott of Massachusetts. She is too exclusive to make much of herself so- cially, but that style suits her husband who professes himself an adInirer of America for her sake.
 "Oh, yes, and there is Prince Canta- eugene, the Russian who married Miss Grant, granddaughter of General Grant. He, too. is high in his ,country's diplo- Enatic service.''

But now ] must go and make over that skirt. got it at a bargain sale two weeks ago, and al ready the fashion has changed, and skirts are fuller about the waist.' "Huh!'' grunted the man.

afterward, but there's the fact. The room is small, but it's certainly cozy. The walls are hung with tapestry eff fleets, there are little open fire. low table, with books and tea things, and a piano against a dull red hanging, with a lamp on top of it having dull red globe.. On the piano rack are always 8 couple of sheets of the latest music, and often a copper bowl of violets lends Q fragrance to the atmosphere. Just the place to waste away the time in an exchange of condolences.
 If you lack visitors, just look about your own reception room and see if 1t isn't to blame. It isn't always your fault, mind, but oftener than not that of your atmosphere.

devoid of color and could easily look pasty.
 In the old days she would have worn all the hues of the rainbow and would have looked hideous. But this is the way she manages to make a picture of herself: The other evening she walked Into concert wearing a beautifully fitted gown of figured black velvet made as simply as possible and without one touch of relieving color from the collar to the tip of the long. snaky train. Her gloves also carried out the effect, for they were of black suede. Her hat was black, and under it her pale face and ruddy hair looked pos itively attractive. Now, here comes the master touch: Over all she wore a stole of snowy errnine and carried a granny huff of the same That was what I call a clever black and white combination.
 Of course it may be carried out equally well in other colors, but black and white is always effective for the red or the black haired woman.

est young folk left in this artificial age. There was, too. a look of merry humor in the face.
 Beyond the hat, coat and linen collar encircled by it's blue necktie. not a scrap of the young persons clothing was visible. The physiculturist looked intently at the wholesome face. with it's bright eyes and fine, open nostrils. She looked perhaps 1 minute. then she said:
 That isn't boy; that's youns lady"
 The pupil did not believe it, though she was too respectful to say so. The physiculturist saw the incredulous look and smiled. "Let me give you lesson in physiognomy," she said. Look at that young persons mouth. What IS she doing with it?''
 1T don't see anything about 1t. Oh. yes she's biting her lips, if that's what you mean"
 That is exactly what mean. Take the average American girl, also the average American woman anywhere under sixty, and you will see she can- not keep her mouth still one second. Now she bites her lips, now she works the muscles around them as if she had St. vitus' dance, now she actually catches hold of her lips with her fingers and stretches the loose, soft flesh till It is distorted horribly. All these move ments your supposed boy went through in less than minute. If she had been a real boy, she would have held her mouth quite still without thinking any thing about it. But American women are painfully self conscious. Few or them have learned that repose Of man ner, that stiffness of muscle which marks, or ought to mark, the really high bred person. If so many women did not perform the lip biting. face dis torting act who have had every social and educational advantages should say this universal nervousness indicat- ed lack of culture. It is an enemy to be attacked and overcome before Amer ican women can be either perfectly graceful or at ease.
 My dear girl, conserve every spark of your nervous energy. You need 1t. every scintilla. Learn to sit still. Con- trol the muscles of your body by relax ing them. Never bite your lips. Keep your fingers away from your face and never, never work and jerk the muscles of your mouth till they look like chaos itself. Relax inside. and your muscles will show repose. Now, when we get out of the car you will see your boy is young lady"

BEAUTY AND SLEEP.


 Beauty sleep" has often been de- fined as those hours before midnight which we are enabled to devote to re- pose, and certainly it must be admit ted that constant late hours are de- tractors of beauty. If you wish to keep young and look young, do not indulge in them.
 Those upon whom society makes great demands and who cannot ignore those fashionable functions which ab- sorb so much time and nervous energy should try the plan of taking one clear day every week. or at least every fort night, for undisturbed rest of mind and body. Let it be understood that on this day you are lat home'' to no one. Those who are of fragile physique and deli- cate constitution should spend this par ticular 'rest day. in bed. for the mus cles and nerves get by this means a better chance for complete relaxation. The food taken should be of a light na- ture and most of the time should be spent in gentle sleep. Those who are of too restless or excitable tempera- ment to sleep during the day may be read to. or read book of a sufficiently light nature not to make any strain upon the mental powers.
 Insomnia is a ruthless despoiler of good looks, and if sleeplessness becomes settled the health will suffer consider ably. Sound, but not heavy, sleep should make one feel refreshed and fit for anything. As people grow older they are more likely to Waken early in the morning and should therefore go to bed earlier in proportion. Avoid all ex- citing discussions at bedtime. Late suppers are also bad, but to go to bed hungry is oTten worse. A slice of bread and butter and 8 little hot milk or a glass of hot water slipped while un- dressing will usually cure insomnia.

AMERICAN WIVES OF
 HIGH FOREIGN OFFICIALS


Yes replied the man who does. By the way. the real title of Won Sternburg has no exact equivalent in English. In Germany it is freiherr, which is a rank between baron and count; not up to count, but above plain baron. In Germany this winsome lady is Freiherrin von Sternburg. She is a brilliant musician and an accomplished linguist. Between Freherrin won Sternburg and that other American, Lady Michael Herbert, wife of the British ambassador to the United States, we shall have a brilliant social regime at Washington in the next few years, all the more so because Freiherr von Sternhurg, Sir Michael Herbert and President Roosevelt are warm friends.
 When Sir Michael Herbert was ap- pointed ambassador to the United States, the news dispatches said iii manifested on the part of England an earnest desire to cultivate the closest relations with this government Then when Freiherr von Sternburg was or dered to take charge of the diplomatic

Introspection the Thing.

Women are studying themselves as never before, and it must be admitted that American women are unusually clever in this respect. It is indeed easy to see at glance the difference be- tween the sophisticated and the unso- phiSticated in matters of dress. The latter bristles with a half dozen col ors. Considered individually the things she wears are smart and even elegant; 1t is the effect of the whole which is lacking. The first thing a wo- man learns when she gives her serious attention to the dress subject is to eliminate all useless colors, colors which don't mean anything. Then she finds out which of them particularly bring out her hair and eyes, and she adheres faithfully to them. It is by simplicity in color scheme that the most stunning effects in dress are ob- tained.
 Here is an instance. A friend of mine has 6 rather disagreeable shade of red hair and a complexion which is

 A funny thing happened in the ele- vated the other afternoon: The train was crowded. of course, and Alice Ben son and I had to stand up. Presently man offered me seat I passed it on to Alice, who was feeling rather i'll. She sank gratefully into it and re- marked with a wave of her hand 3I would give you a seat if it were not for this,' meaning She would squeeze up if IL were not for the little wooden division between the seats But the man next to her saw the finger pointed in his direction and heard the remark T would give you a seat if it were not for this!' and with start as though he had been galvanized he sprang to his feet and hid his crimson face be- hind his paper. Of course I promptly took the seat.
