tact, but the groove must in no case
be cut through to the front. but must be

the front edge, so that the grooves will
not show on the front Of tile finished
case. This Is shown at NJ in Fig. ISL,
and the grooves should never exceed
one-eighth inch in depth, as shown
at l..
In soft wood the grooves are made,
after being carefully marked aci oss
the surface of the piece, by cutting into
each OF the two lines with a shs 20
pointed knife, or the corner Of q chis.l,
using a short, straight edge to keep the
tool In position on the line, and then
lifting out the intervening wood with
q very narrow chisel. If the groove
is not deep enough, repeat the process
until a depth of .one-eighth inch IL
reached.
Glue is seldom used on pigeon-holt,
or case work of any kind. it being ex,
tremely difficult to use 1t without
smearing the surfaces of the several
pieces. The connections may. however.
be further strengthened by the use OF
long, slender wire brads, driven from
the outside, and wherever possible to
do so, and in the present case the two
miuule upright pieces should be hello

GOWNS FOR TRAVELLING.
4 Three.Piece Suit Of Gum etal Silk
and Mohair Very Attractive
and Also Practical.

Three-piece suits are always suitable
for sightseeing. Thin silk blouses
matching in color the rest of the cos.
tune are convenient, in that they do
not require constant laundering. Worn
with fine lingerie sets, especially with
the high cuffs so much in vogue, these
blouses are very mOdish and becoming.
A gun-metal mohair, with a raised fig.
ure, made a very stylish three-pieco
suit The skirt was ~box-plaited, and
quite severely stitched, and the SIM
pie little Elton Jacket was relieved
from plainness only by the beautiful
lingerie collar which fell over the
shoulders and down the front. The
jacket was closed to the waist line
with f%astenings Of black braid, and
the folded girdle Of the material was
also fastened with braid ornaments.
The blouse was of gun-metal radium
SILK. and was heart-shaped in front,
with a guimpe to match the coat col.
lar. The blouse was shirred on heavy
cords on the shoulders. and was very
full over the bust. The full sleeves
were longer than the jacket sleeves.
and were decorated with high white
cuffs like the collar and guimpe.

and would have to be held up wherever

length was made necessary, from the
aesthetic point of view, on account of
the length Of the redingote, which
reached within eight inches Of the

full and plain, and all met in the
front. The points were rounded,
which gave a nor open effect. but the

A boy should have two godfathers

verscd in the case Of a girl. Parents
should not stand as sponsors, as they
will naturally have the care and re.
sponsibilities as parents and will be
expected to look after the welfare Of
the child in every respec-.
The nurse may carry the baby until
the child's name is to be given when
the godmother then takes the baby
and hands 1t to the clergyman, at the
same time giving the child's M in
q very distinct tone. After the child
has been baptized the clergyman re.
stores it to the godmother ana she
in turn gives it to the nurse or the
mother.
The drawing-room should be decor.
ated with plants and Gu flowers.
White should be the prevailing color.
\ space should be cleared in the cen.

Each persons gait is characteristic.

weak and v%acillating? Is 1t firm and de-
cided or faltering and uncertain? AS
the walk Is SO is the character.

method of locomotion which is the pop,
ular ideal of what a woman's Walk
should be.
Aside from her character a woman's
walk is an index to her breeding. The
girl who walks down the street swing
ing her arms like pump handles may
have the happiest disposition In the
world, but a little restraint exerted over
her flying members would give the pass.
ers-by a more favorable impression of
her bringing up and self-control.
A woman's walk should be light and
buoyant, with head erect in a natural
position and chest up. All the move
ments should suggest ease. The leg
should swing out from the hip, and the
ball Of the DOT should first strike the
grOund--never the heel. The young
peasant women of southern Europe, who
are used to carrying baskets on their
heads, walk more like daughters of the
gods than most of our physical culture
advocates, and usually balancing q jar
or basket on the head will help one gain
o firm and erect walk, provided n prac-
tices in a room Of sufficient size or out
Of doors.
1t takes more practice to walk we'll
than to do many a more difficult feat.
but a graceful walk is a peculiar and
rare charm in either man or woman and
one worth seeking, for to achieve a good
carriage Is to 90 a long way toward de-
veloping those good qualities of mind
and spirit that are indicated by the cor
rect walk.
