THE Spring girl has decided to
make Fashion bow down to
her rather than TO let herself
be the slave Of fashion. She is be
witching- She is also endowed with
much common sense.
She is determined to be fashionabIy
gowned, but she is equally determined
to wear only what is becoming to her
own Individual figure. She has de-
cided to make a study of clothes. and
has already begun at the beginning
her own figure.
She selects a corset which produces
the straight front, the extremely long
hip, and the low bust, and she looks
well 70 her hose supporters, realizing
how much they aid in producing the
correct figure They no longer merely
hold up the stockings, but they assist
the woman herself to have a correct
ana graceful carriage After she has
obtained the correct corset and the
correct hose supporters, then comes
the question Of her petucoat II her
dress skirt Is to hang as it should.
Then the petticoat worn beneath it
Tnust be cut correctly and fitted with
special care. There must be no fun
nezs visible about the waist line. and
the upper part Of the petucoat must
cling az If nodded to the hips.

The Spring Wardrobe.
The Spring girl is careful to see
that her corset cover fits her figure.
so that there is no extra funness to
spare If she prefers chemise to a
corset cover, she wears only the style
made with a fitted back.
In selecting the gowns for her
Spring wardrobe, she is determined
first Of all that in one way or another
they shall reflect her own personality,
She does not buy the gown which is
uItra-fashionable, but the gown
which suggests the fashionabIee out
line, and which she is sure viii Drove
becoming. In materials, she selects
the shade which viii blend with her
own coloring- And she seldom orders
a gown with one waist Her idea Of
a practical costume is one skirt ana
at least two bodices. She considers It
an economy to buy the best materials
and she has a positive genius for Sc
ecting the correct accessories Of
7ress.

Flour and Teeth,

London Chronicle: A valuable let
ter from a correspondent drew atten-
ton to an important and admitted
cause of the national degeneration Of
physique which we have striven to en-
phasiZe in these columns. The roller
mill has individually diminished the
dietetic alu of our bread. The en-
tire wheat grain is Of value; the husk
(Which is a valuable intestinal stimu-
lant), h brown exterior and the white
central core. Except for certain in
valids, white bread is an indefensible
absurdity. Better is brown bread, con-
sisting of all but the husk, and best is
a whole meal bread, assuming such TO
be obtainable. The deficiency Of salts
in white bread is unquestionably re-
lated to the Observation-Disclosures famil-
lar to our readers-in the national
teeth. We may illustrate this by an
argument from Sir Thomas Lauder
Brunton. why has America the clev-
crest dentists" Answer: Because
she has the best -four mill makers
The better the mill is, the liner The
-four; the poorer the bread, the worse
the teeth, and the better the dentists.
Perfectly simple.

German movement for a new house
keeper is Frau Hedwig Heyl, Of Ber-
faCturer and, since his death, as the
manager OF his business, she obtained
a wide knowledge of people and Of the
needs of different classes. Her first

the father and mother who We're busy
In the factory all day to train their
children into good and industrious men
and ome Frau Heyl felt hat she
was responsible for the welfare of the
children of her workers, so she pre-
pared her attractive garden house and
invited them to come to her when not
in school. The girls were taught
housekeeping and cooking, and aC-
Quired n love of work and of order.
Many who We're trained i'm this little
school have since become excellent
housemaids. The children grew up,
and since the factory kept its Did work
ers the little garden house became
empty, but the Idea was not lost. Ac-
cording to the plan and under the di-
rection of Frau Heyl, the city founded
n "Madchenhort," the object of which
was to supplement the care the mother
a give and the instruction received
in the schools. The girls learn to make
the most of the little they have-to

he asked of me, and, being his guest,
L could scarce refuse him. He listened

Il should say" l replied, that this
ieuan was not among the band that
pursued us, hat he came upon the
scene within q little while, and, having
no feeling of enmity against Master
