you know nothing about it,
But you speak of a turgid noun
tain. The dictionary defines 'turgid' as
swelled-bloated. You don't intend
to refer to a bloated mountain, do
you? 2"
"I intend to refer to anything I
please, Mrs. BowseT, and I want no
criticism from you. When did you
ever write a single verse of poetry to
give you the right to criticise me %
Mrs BOwser was duly crushed and
turned to her book. Mr.. Bowser re-
luctantly acknowledged to himself
that he might have got things a trifie
mixed, and he scratched out the in
completed verse and tried again. He
dld not intend to give her another
chance, but at the end of the third
line again he found himself stuck. It
wouldn't do to omit it, and SO he
said:
so many beautiful thoughts come
rushing in on me that I hardly know
which to use. Just for the fun of the
thing let me ask how you would end
this verse;
Il wander alone. with my soul at

ser, with making dell rhyme with the
bad place."
BY thunder. woman, but do you
mean to insult me to my face p
"Of course not. You asked me how
would end it, and I told you. There
are one or two other things I want to
speak of. You refer to a 'truculent

ANY idiot could tell that I do
well, if you will turn to the die
tionary. you viii find that 'truculent'
means wild-fierce-sa savage"

HOW TO ACQUIRE POISE.
Simple and Pertinent Directions Re-
garding Carriage of the
Chest and Head.

Did you ever try the little mental sci
ence trick OF walking along with an
imaginary star upon your chest and an
imaginary basket Of eggs upon your
head? | know Of no better way to &C
quire perfect poise than this. Simply
fancy that the star upon the center OF
your chest is a real. scintillating thing.
and you will End yourself carrying your
shoulders like military man bent on
his gold buttons. They sey
that desire to display his gold buttons
after all has more to do with the West
Point cadets perfect carriage than any
other one thing. When you are about to
sit down remember that you still carry
that basket Of eggs upon your head and
you will find yourself sinking gently and
gracefully into your chair. instead Of
just launching into II. The same little
bit of mental science will work wonders
in the matter Of climbing stairs. One
cannot twist. or bend over. or do any of
the other hideous things women usu-
ally do upon fight Of stairs-with
basket Of eggs upon her head
These rules are the best OF new sys
tenn Of beauty culture which has become
popular Of late
