A, GRACEFUL CARRIAGE. (Laura)
"A graceful carriage is within the
reach of every woman who will exert
will power. To step heavily with head
bent or to amble along with mincing
steps will make a fright of any woman.
Practice walking each day with your
mind entirely centered on the exercise.
This will enable you to keep the head
and shoulders in correct pose, and, by
wearing a short skirt, grace and free
dom of movement will be possible at
the same time. Lest you forget you
might try the plan Of pinning small
weight to the crown of your hat in
such a manner that it will slip forward
instantly and remind you that you are
bending your head forward. Do not
go to the other extreme and thrust the
chin upward and forward. To correct
the habit of holding the head to one
side, try carrying small weight upon
the head when walking about the house.
A small bag of salt is nice weight to
use. To balance it you wiz be COM
PEELED to hold your head correctly and
this will, in time, break off the OBJ
jectionable pose. While at all times we
should be unconscious of self as possi-
BILE, nothing but cultivation will eradi-
cate faults of any nature. Grace Of
manner and OF carriage can only be
attained by concentrated labor until
the act becomes a fixed habit. Learn
to carry the arms quietly. for con-
tinual swinging or jerking movement is
distressing. II you are very nervous
carry purse and the hand containing
it and the unoccupied hand and arm,
as well, will soon be trained to hang
gracefully at the sides. The shoes
should be broad, with low heels, to in
sure perfect support and freedom Of
action.
POINTS ON MAKING SHIRT
WAISTS. (Belle)-Shirt waists of mer-
cerized vestings should be made severe
ly plain; as the fabric is quite heavy, it
does not take kindly to shirring or fine
tucks; no matter how neatly done, it
looks out of place The most popular
mode of completion is half-inch plaits,
machine stitching and pearl buttons.
Epaulette straps or applied vertical
straps on the waist are permissible. The
edges should be turned In one-half
inch before stitching. Do not line the
epaulettes with the same fabric, it will
make them very clumsy; finish the raw
edges with an undertaking of lawn, cut
bias, stitch and press on the wrong
side before arranging on the waist. The
waist and sleeves should not be lined,
for the goods is too firm in texture to
require 1t. The fullness in front, at the
waist line, may be gathered by the aid
of a tape and casing or laid In fine
plaits and gathers and stitched perma-
nently. If you are of full figure, the
latter is advised. To obviate the bunch
of folds under the top Of the skirt
caused by the bottom of the waist, the
edge below the gathers should be cut
away. In heavy fabrics the lower edge
should be pinched or bound with seam
binding to avoid clumsy hem. 1t is
not necessary to bone the underarm
seam. for If fitted correctly 1t will not
ride UP. Trim the waist of brown linen
with pipings of scarlet and the collar
and cuffs with French knots in scarlet
silk or linen The waist or corn flower
blue cheyiot will be smart trimmed with
cross-stitch embroidery in Persian or
Bulgarian colors.
CARE OF THE NOSE. (Agnes)-The
nose is supplied with greater number
of oil glands than any other part Of the
