FASHIONABLE PADS
 OF FEMININE FOLK

 The intensely interesting part of the French ladies' cross country runs, how ever. Is that the Duchess d'Uzes wears tan shoes and stockings, short brown corduroy skirt and a white sweater for the chase.
 Enough said! In less than 10 time American girls and women begin 10 do speed stunts afoot. In at least me of our large cities girls in business in the daytime have an evening sprinting club. At 9 o'clock at night. through quiet street, man instructor 10 the fore, another in the rear to bring up the fainting and the fat, party of bloomer clad girls start out, and away they go, sprint. sprunt. lickety split, for mile. The report of their work says they make a mile in about eight minutes.
 The masculine instructor at the gym nasium declares it is libel on the sex to say a woman cannot run, also that the woman who learns how to run will in time learn how to walk properly. Heaven send it.

Mrs. Roger Watts of London applied to a genuine Jap for instruction and went in with all her might for the scissors throw, the middle throw, the arm lock. the wrist breaker. the knee breaker and even the strangle hold. Then she announced her self as one who holds the proud posi- ton of beiSg the first Englishwoman to become proficient in this new and wonderful game" She further added that she found it improved her com plexion unutterably. That settled 1t. Immediately on both sides of the At lantic women with compilations to i'm prove and likewise desiring a new lad besieged all the jiu jitsuists, real ara fake. that could he unearthed The flu jitsu fad is not yet dead.
 The outdoor and country fad is now at it's height. especially the tent dwell ing notion. A story was told or now an Englishwoman-Eng glish, of course had. with her daughters, slept in nay stack for six months and found 1t mar velously health giving. It also improved her complexion amazingly, so the story went About that same time some sly individual who may have had camping outfits to sell-who knows said that intellectual women always prefer to take their exercises outdoors and just dote on living away OH III tents III lllG WOOOo'
 How the dear girls and their married sisters scrambled to get outdoors then! Some of them would even have been glad to initiate a certain great Amer ' ican poet and live in a tree top
 Lastly in the field of feminine fads comes the homework cure. House. work to aid the figure and skin" is the sufficiently alluring headline in re- cent newspaper. But somehow the housewo1k health and beauty fad has the fewest adherents of all. Not even the seductive bait held out in the prophecy that it will in time produce dazzling complexion has as yet induced the ladies to bite t" any great extent.
 How sad it is to think that In few years the athletic women will give up all their exercises and settle down to be round shouldered and lumpish and lazy, going up and down Tn elevators even in their own homes.
 Different, but of the very newest brand, so one need not fear being out of date going in for it. Is the White Rest Cure, in large initials. The ex- pense of the White Rest Cure Is one of it's chief recommendations Poor folk cannot take 1t at ail, so that 1t promises to become the rage. Ii, too, is an exotic. All the fashionable fem mine fads apparently originate in London or Paris. Americans even ot the feminine sex are Dy nereully ndtu- headed and possessed of common sense to an extent that mostly precludes the orlgination of fads.
 But to the White Rest Cure. Mrs. Cornwallis- West was one of the first to take 1t in London, so 1t Is quite the correct thing. First do up all your rooms in white. ceiling, walls and lur- i niture. You may have a band of lilies faintly outlined at the base of your wall paper. nothing more. Have a white couch. white chairs and table. Everything must be just right artis- tically and hygienically besides being white A cheap white object in that temple of whiteness would ruin all. My lady. clad always all Tn white, goes there and reclines upon her white couch or sits at her white desk. Uf course all this costs like any thing. But says the doctor who ad- vises the White Rest Cure: Does not
 one exchange sickness for health in that manner? And Is it not well worth
 the money that is spent?' Hear, hear!
 Sounds as though that doctor might be
