THE ATTRACTIVE GIRL.
Her Sweet and Unaffected Ways.

EUCH has been written about
MI "the American Girl and her
AVA reasons for being pre- emin-
emily the most attractive girl
in the world. In bringing up girls
mothers can't be too careful to let their
daughters develop all their natural
charms to the utmost. She is most at
tractive who is sweet, unaffected, cordial
and unconscious of self. Such a kind
OF girl will not have to run after men.
The men will save her the trouble. She
will be courted by many men if she
holds herself with sort of unconscious
dignity and indebtedness. It devolves
upon mother to talk to her daughter
to make her conhdant-not only about
these matters in early girlhood and when
they are poisoning into womanhood,
but she should advise her about her
physical make up and her special organs.
FROM MAIDENHooD TO woMANHooD.
The crucial epoch of woman's life
is the change from maidenhood to
wonanhood. 1t involves the whole body
and manifests itself in the nervous dis
position at this time. If womankind
lived close to nature, did not wear cor
sets, live in heated atmospheres, be-
coming subject to taking cold easily, she
would drift into womanhood@ naturally
and without suffering. Owing, however,
to our modes of living and the forced
condition of young girls brain, the
pelvic organs and the brain take up too
much of the blood and other organs
are left without sufficient nourishment.
In this way girls become delicate and the
tissues are not sufficiently nourished.
Many mature woman traces back her
troubles and her bad health to this early
period. Often the strain is too great and
Tor this reason proper precautions should
be taken. Perhaps the mother or daugh-
ter have some delicacy about talking
with their home physician on these
matters. 1t is then best to consult by
letter with a physician of recognized
eminence, who has had medical train
ing, fitting him for the practice of medi-
cine. 1t would be very foolish for one
to consult some woman who had not
particle of medical training in prefer
ence to a physician who is bound on
honor not to divulge the condolences re-
posed in him, and whose training has
been thorough in the study of anatomy
and materia medica, coupled with a wide
experience during nearly half century,
which puts him at the top of the profess
sion. Such an one is DR.. R. v. Pierce,
who is at the head of that magnificent
hospital in Buffalo, called the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute. You can
write him without fear or favor for he
keeps strictly confidential all letters
sent to him and he charges nothing for
his medical advice, answering in a
straightforward and truthful manner.
He will not advise anyone to take
medicine unless it is positively indicated

USEFUL GIFTS
TO TRAVELLERS

These are the busy days when
many women make ready their ward
robes and plan the contents of trunks
which will accompany them abroad or
on a sojourn in the mountains or at
the seashore. Those who stay at home
occupy their fingers in preparing
gifts, both useful and ornamental, for
those who are leaving. but good will
often outruns discretion and the gift
becomes burden to it's recipient.
Useful gifts to any traveller are the
rubber or oil-silk lined toilet sets.
These consist of a bag for sponge aud
washrag, and fiat case with flaps for
soap. comb, tooth brush, nail brush,
and hair brush. The cases are made
of white or tinted linen embroidered in
a contrasting color, with white as a
favorite. Those who do not en-
broider can bind the edges of their
cases and bags with narrow colored
pillow, which can be carried in the
hand or slung over the shoulder.
Only a traveller can realize the COM
fort of these rubber-lined cases. They
occupy less room than anything else
made for the purpose, and keep the
dressing bag and its contents perfect
ly dry.
A lap robe, crochetted, knitted, or
otherwise Is another useful gift to the
traveller Its usefulness need not be di-
lated upon.
Still aother serviceable gift Is
combination pillow and bag. This con-

being unlined, it hangs with the limp

On the other hand, the sailor collar
Of the small boy is commonly a stiff
affair, though it no longer makes at
the rear the deep back-contracting dip
once seen. The new sailor collar is
far broader than it is deep, and the
sides now spread out over the shout
ders to make their width as imposing
rs possible. The small gentleman of
the day is always manly in get up

bit too frivolous there is rejoicing over
the fact that they are not widely adj

also outlined with two of these bands,

tains are so charmed by the beauty
of the ferns that they yield to the
temptation to dig up the gra ceful clus-
tiers and decorate their rooms with
them. Unfortunately, crinkled paper
and other coverings for flower pots
cannot be procured in most mountain
resorts, and even they who sell ferns
IN tomato cans do not always hide
their pristine glimmer with birch bark
travellers in the mountains, therefore,
would be grateful for something with
which to cover their fern dishes.
The giver of gifts would do well to
fashion a number of bottomless bags,

Fleecy coverings for the head or

sorts, while chochetted slippers should
never be forgotten.
Almost every woman who goes away
for the summer, whether she does fan
cy work at home or not, takes with
her something of the sort to while
away dull hours or a rainy day. She
is grateful to the friend who has sup

ton of bag and workbasket to carry
it in. Such bag should be made Of
the prettiest of figured or brocaded silk

small circle of pasteboard covered

in such a bag is divided into pockets

should start on this crusade. II is pointed out by
