Yet If one must choose between these
and the dispirited droop Of mouth and
shoulders that are found among the
women who live the stay-at-hone life and
know nothing Of the joys Of free exercise
in the good open air, let us, for the love
of mercy, have anything that the bicycles
or the automobiles or golf or tennis can
give US. The one, at least, is a sign Of a
healthfu1 mode Of life, however much we
may deprecate the form it takes. But
why should one have either?
Already T have tried to indicate in
these papers that one need not sacrifice a
complexion in order to win proficiency in
outdoor sports. The small amount Of care
that is given to the skin will keep it in
tolerable order and the attention that Is
bestowed upon the expression will not be
thrown away. Only recently have our
women come to appreciate all that fresh
air and systematic exercise will do for
their health and looks. There are still too
many Of them who neglect all these things
and are content to lose attractfveness and
youth and strength sooner than take the
pains to go out Of doors. 1t would make
matters infinitely worse If those who have
been converted to the gospel Of exercise
and oxygen should do their case harm by
displaying expressions and. habits which
| prejudice the stay-at-home against the
| pursuits to which they should be won.

MISS PANGBORN TO SELECT GOWN

Europe was the driving Of locomotive
across the Tekka desert on a dare from
Prince Hilkoff, imperial minister Of ways
for the car Of Russia.
"The ability of American girls to do
anything Is no longer matter Of sur
prise to me. I would venture that you
even know how to run a locomotive"
said the prince.
S"Of course" nonchalant1y replied Miss
Pangborn. Cali the daughters Of Ameri-
can railroad men know how to do that"
Miss Pangborn knew something Of the
cons truction Of locomotives, for she is the
| true daughter of her father, and, altho
she had never tried to run one, she stepped
into the cab and drove the engine for
sixty miles thru the heart Of Asia.

long stride across the links has produced
the slouching, ungraceful gait which has
been dubbed the golf walk, that it be-
comes necessary to give the subject OF
these idiosyncrasia some serious consid-
Grafton.
There can be no good thing without the
defects Of it's qualities. Our care must be
not to let the defects outweigh the quail
ties or to permit really admirable thing
to do us harm as well as good.
Take bicycling, for instance. The wheel
may have seemed to lose it's popularity
for brief time, but 1t has come back to
stay--not. as some one says, as q fad
but as homely custom. The day has
probably gone by when people go bicycle
mad-altho when one sees the wheels of
the present day one can pardon an occa-
sional attack Of mania--but the time has
| arrived when the bicycle is matter Of
course, not only for getting about the
country on errands and the like, but also
as O factor in developing q higher ply :
steal standard. Anything that will make
stronger hearts, that will stimulate torpid
organs and clear the brain is bound to
! have the support Of thinking people every
where. A horse or an automobile may
take one about and awaken a love OF
outdoors, but a horse or an automobile Is
not within the reach Of persons Of mod
crate means. Therefore the wheel pos
sesses advantages for the everyday man
and women that can be offered by nc
other means Of locomotion.
So good thing as this should not sink
/ into condemnation because those who use
it are too weak or too careless to conquer
! the few drawbacks connected with it
There Is no reason why g. bicycle should
be the cause Of a bowed, hunched-up back
or of an unpleasant countenarce, If its
riders will pay as much attention to theil
attitudes and their expression as they dc
to the costumes they wear when riding
The case is the same with golf "the
royal game" More and more it grows II
popularity. The business man finds in i
an outdoor sport which gives him exercise
and amusement at the same time, and the
girl who plays golf has become a recog
nized feature in our social outdoor life
The game Is worthy Of all commentator
and is doing the work Of a life saving sta
ton for men who could never before b.
coaxed from their offices during the day
light hours But Is It to leave an insight

The French Government VIII Present to
an American Girl the Gown She Likes
the Best in the Wonderful Collection Of
1000 Sent from Paris to the st. Louis
Exposition.
Every American woman will envy Miss
Mary Pangborn Of Baltimore, Md, for

beautiful gowns sent over to the st. Louis
exposition and accept it as a gift. After
aher selection has 3een made the gown

souvenir from the jewel exhibit will also
be slipped in with the gown.

Skirts are very round and very full,
and the majority Of them clear the
street.
Waists continue to blouse, and the
newest ones have a blouse in the back
as we'll as in the front. Actually there
are taffeta waists that fall over the belt
in the back at least three inches, while
they bag very decidedly in the front also.
This can be very smart or decidedly the
reverse.
Girdles are wide and some Of them
are high.
Stocks are the redeeming feature. for
they are not worn very tall, and they
can be fitted to any throat
Sleeves are immense and most Of them
| are made in open balloons Others are
balloon shaped, closed at the hand and
| fitted with a stiff lace cuff, which may
| be slashed or may be closed. Inside the
stiff lace cuff there is a soft lingerie cuff
The latest fashion note says that there
shall be O. very long lace shoulder piece
which shall hang over the arm. This is
very becoming to the thin woman, but it
gives the stout woman q queer look, as
| tho she were all shoulder, and very fat
shoulder at that.
The full balloon sleeves are smart, but
thew do not increase the size OF the waist,
for the fullness comes just on line with
the waist when the arms hang down. This
| fullness Is becoming to those who are
rather slender across the hips, but the fat
woman must be trif1e cautious when or

white linen dresses. Lace medallions tho
rather unpopular for few seasons, are
restored fully to favor, and are used in
the lavish manner that characterizes all
lace trimmings. They rarely are employed
singly or in clusters Of a few, but are put
on in bands, often in two sizes, yoke and
sleeves being thus finished, and at times
a skirt panel or an overskirt will be out
lined.
White frocks occasionally show sashes
of some bright color, or of the chine rib
bons. Miss Gladys Vanderbilt wore a white
batiste frock at a wedding just before she
sailed with Mrs. Vanderbilt, and the girdle
and long sash ends were Of bright ciel blue.
1t was the only bit of color on the frock,
but the large round cream straw hat was
wreathed with tiny pink roses, blue for
get-me-nots and now and then yellow
daisy showing in the wreath. Green
sashes are especially pretty with cert

Of this friction between women is caused

WHAT WOMEN
WANT TO KNOW

Weak Feet and Ankles-My feet are so
tired that begin to think something Is
wrong with the muscles. cannot walk
any distance without feeling fatIgued In
the ankles, altho my health Is good. Can
you advice me what to do?-Mrs. w. M.
r..
The trouble Of which you complain is
common to women whose walking is
largely confined to smooth floors. Soselit-
tie exertion is necessary that the muscles
of the feet become habby and lacking In
firmness and control. The habitual wear
ing of very snug shoes which hold the
muscles perfectly rigid all day causes
them to become weak, losing elasticity
and not responding to the extra strain
brought upon them without fatigue. Shoes
which are comfortably large will do more
to relieve the torture of corns and bun
ions and strengthen the feet by allowing
room to expand and the muscles to assert
themselves, than any amount Of local
treatment in the way Of applications, and
perfect cleanliness and tonic baths are
essential. A simple exercise which will
strengthen the muscles of the feet, ankles
and legs Is to stand erect and rise slowly
upon the toes, coming down lightly on the
heels. Repeat until the muscles are tired
AT first it may be tiresome after four OF
five efforts, but persistent repetition will
| soon give strength and endurance, Their
| you will be able to repeat the exercise
| twenty times and do it several times q
day. Use the following excellent linimen1
| freely on the feet and ankles after exer-
else and long walks to relieve soreness.
