DoNTS FOR THE STOUT.

Every one is afraid of growing fat
nowadays; no system of weight-reduc-
ing, says the Cincinnati Enquirer,
seems too troublesome for the over
plump no corset arrangement too eiab-
crate or expensive. 1t seems to me,
however, that the "don'ts" are in dam
ger of being neglected for the DOS"
and really the "Donts" are of rath-
er more Importance.
Don't lie in bed late Of a morning ID

because she does not take any break
fast. She wonders that her abstinence
is not more effective; but L only Won
der that she is not putting on weight
still faster than she does. EARLY to
rise" and not too early to bed should
be the fat woman's motto.
Another Don't of considerable i'm
portance is Don't sit too much" Con-
slant sitting encourages a peculiarly
ungraceful form of stoutness, and de-
stroys the carriage as we'll. Any in
door work that can be done in a
standing position should be done so, and
Walking should be substituted for driv-
ing whenever possible. Stout people
often suffer from tender and tired feet
1t may be useful to note. If constant
walking and standing develop this trou-
BILE, that the nightly use of very hot
water, followed by dryness and rub
bling with alcohol will take away all
tiredness and swelling most effectively.

LOOKING INTO THE KITCHEN.

cooks and feel that we ought to make
great allowance for their occasional ir-
rite biity.
Some time ago my husband and a
friend who was driving with him, both
of whom had had some experience in
camp cooking, were discussing the Gull
nary problem. Any one with ordinary
intelligence can be a good cook they
affirmed. OF course, S disagreed with
them, and we got into a great argu-
ment on the subject, resulting in the
offer Of the two men to cook a dinner
for me for about six persons, our
friends wife, myself and two other
women to be of the party. The dinner
came off, and we had to confess IL was
very well cooked. We had consonlme

BUTTONS ARE NOT NEEDED.

Buttons are without a place in the
economy of the fair sex. Not one
woman in hundred knows what to
do with them except as ornaments for
a garment. They are usually plaster
ed Unfortunately up and down,
around and across a jacket, a gown or
a shirtwaist without regard to their
proper functions, and are regarded by
the sew rs very much Of a nuisance.
, An Eastern girl who has brains ana
puts them 10 practical use mas in
vented an effective shirtwaist set for
herself. Instead of the hand-painted
buttons or the large pearl ones that
have been worn, this girl has used
ribbon as a substitute. Small rosettes
formed of narrow ribbons are used to
fasten the blouse down the front and
the cuffs are tied with bows of the
ribbon having two short loops and two
long ends. At the tip of each end is
another small rosette the same as those
used down the front of the waist. A
plain stock of the material used in the
shirtwaist has a band of the ribbon
around the lower edge and In front two
three-inch lengths depend with small
rosettes at the end of each The adj
vantage in using ribbon for shirtwaist
sets lies in the fact that they are in
expensive and the girl who is not bless
ed with a large income to spend solely
on ornaments for herself may have
several sets without feeling that she
is extravagent.

HIGHER EDUCATION
AND MOTHERHOOD.

By the last census, says Margaret
Bisland in the North American Review
the increase in divorce is estimated as
two and one-half times greater than
the increase in population. In the
Western Reserve of Ohio there is one
divorce in every eleven marriages.
For so appalling a social condition as
this we find no parallel save in the
empire of the Romans. There the
law of divorce became more widely
extended more to sap the morals of
the Romans than the laXity which was
thus introduced into the hottest and
most delicate of all human relations"
Vain and empty have been proved
the hope and faith that from the high
ly educated mother profound advant-
ages must accrue to the nation in the
consequently superior mental equip
ment of her child. The highly educated
woman avoids or is incapable of ma

ish us with the warm blood of her
vast maternity. who can doubt that
we would fall an easy prey to the con-
stitutional fragility and consequent
vice that destroyed the Unbalanced and
determined Roman Empire?
AS a nation we now stand most in
need of a re-elevation and rejuve-
nescence of the precious and powerful
motherhood ideal. This and not new
incentives to the spread of education
or expansion of the spheres of public
activities and influence among our
women, is required to produce per-
manent and powerful race of our own
soil; a true autochthon, stable,
homogeneous and more noble type than
Europe has yet created, and which as
yet we only fondly imagine we see in
the American of to-day. Wide as is
the gulf which separates us from the
East, the hand of nature is still heavy
upon us. Not yet, even in America,
will she permit Eve to eat of the fruit
of the tree of knowledge and at the
same time allow the race to escape
eviction from this latest Eden of man
kind, this fair garden of ours, planted
in the Western world.

PASS ALONG GOOD CHEER"

Catch and radiate the sunshine,
Pass along the word of cheer,
Give tender smile or token

Gather up each passing sunbeam
And reflect it far and wide.
Sending forth its rays the brightest
Where the darkest shadows hide.
To the weary, heavy laden.
Walking lonely down the road,
Lend hand to help them onward;
1t will lift a heavy load.
To the aged and the careworn.
Grown so weary of the way,

ringing light and joy to-day.
Not alone in crowded alleys
Do we find the sorest need,
There is sorrow in the palace.
There are hearts that break and bleed
Scatter sunshine, brother, sister,
Sympathize with smile or tear;
Make this whole wide world the bright.

PRETTY EARS CATCH BEAUX.

A girl never, says the New York
Sun. knows that she has pretty ears
until she is engaged to be married. This
was the information whispered by one
wise girl to another.
Then the man whispers into her
ear" continued the wise girl, land tells
her that it was one of her first attrac-
tons for him; and that her pretty ear,
pink as a shell, and just as perfect in
shape, caught his eye. even before her
sweetness of disposition and liveliness
of temperament captivated him."
More beaux are caught in the rim of
pretty girls ear than are dreamed
of in all the philosophy of all the girls
in the world.
The ear to be charming must be pink,
the pinker the better. But it's color
must not be red, must be a pure pink,
the shade of the petals of a June rose
and the lobe or tip of the ear must be
pinker than the remainder of the ear.
Bernhard, who is an adept at the
art of making the most Of ones per-
sonal charms. has long been in the hab-
ii of delicately rouging the lobes of her
ears. All actresses do this more or less,
and last winter in society there were
not few women who either rouged the
lobes of their ears or employed other
articles to make them red.
Those who regard rouge as one of the
deadly sins can pinch the tips of the
ears until they glow a crimson pink
This color will gradually fade away
and leave only faint pretty pink But
it makes the ears burn and this smart
ing tingling sensation is extremely I'M
pleasant.
Another method is to touch the tips
90 h.. IL
dens them very prettily. giving color
that, in the case of a delicate skin, is
lasting.
Those who make a practice of the
pursuit of beauty win tell you that to
redden the lobes of the ear properly
the ear must first be touched with cold
cream, which is rubbed into the skin
