COlORS FOR CRAY-HAlRED.
Women with Snowy Locks May Look Distinguished by Careful Atten-
 ton to Their Crown of Glory.

While there are many types of gray haired women. they all fall into two general classes Those who are prematurely gray young women. and those whose white hair is quite legiti mate and indicates an honorable old age
 For the latter, nothing is more be- coming than black. with ornamental tions in either black or white laces. Real white hair is usually accompanied by black or dark brown, or dark gray eyes, as the blue-eyed women grow gray slowly. So the colors suggested are for dark. rather than light eyes.
 Dark greens in both olive and blue varieties, dark silk blues and purples, as well as quite dark reds, are effec- tive.
 There is a brown approaching a fawn color that may be worn, but as a rule browns are not becoming to those with gray hair
 Creamy white can sometimes be worn. as can white muslins and lawns in the summer time.

Study Grace.

Teach yourself by earnest practice, repeated failures, and repeated efforts. to be graceful in the ordinary acts that occur during all your waking hours. Unless you can stand well and sit well you will be always i'll at ease in so- ciety Letters frequently come to me letters from distressed readers who complain of this lack of ease. One girl wrote that she accepted no more in vitations, for she could not think of anything except her hands. and she could not find anything to do with them That girl had not been prop. erly trained.

 Shoot Board.
 The shoot board shown in Fig. 14 is used for jointing the edges of short pieces, and will be very nee essary for afi those who wish to do true nd correct, hand work. It may be made from pine or poplar. and is from 36 to 42 inches in length. The lower piece is 7s, inches Wide and is inch in thickness. The up- per piece is 5Ia inches wide. and must not be more than 3, inch in thickness. It extends over the lower piece lL inches on the left hand edge, as shown at A in the illustration.
 The lower board is bored with L inch bit for 11s inch No. II screws. and Is firmly screwed to the upper piece rom the lower side so that no screws Will appear on the top surface of the board dwhencompleted. Underneath and in the angle formed by the two pieces, strip lai inches wide and 7s inch in thickness is screwed, as shown at A.
 When the shoot board is in use it's forward end rests against the bench top. ana this strip rests against the front cage of the bench; or the strip may be gripped in the front wise if desired. The lower right hand angle of the upper piece is chamfered of as shown at E, to prevent chips and dust from interfer- Ing With the working of the plane.

GOOD FOR LARGE WOMEN.
The Cut of the Jacket and the Slope of Waist-Line Most Important in
 Reducing Appearance of Size.

A stlye of bodice becoming to large women is that made with jacket fronts. not the loose. hanging bolero iron s. but trim, tight-fitting affair. single or double breasted or fastened at the left side. The jacket comes below the waist line in front, and it has a small, shaped basque black; an inner vest with overlapping revers shows be- twean, or above and below the over tapping jacket fronts. One point that every woman at all inclined to stout ness should remember is to keep the line of her waist long by cutting all her clothes with straight seam and dart lines. and placing the waist line half an inch below where she actually feels the line to exist. A garment cut an inch too long waisted looks in- finitelY better than one a quarter of an inch too short-waisted; especially is this to be noticed in the plain tailor coat made with single fly fronts. When the coat hangs open it rides up in the back when not long enough in the waist. and it gives most awkward appearance to woman.

length and from IS to 26 inches high. the latter height for full-grown youth or man. The method of construction is section of the upper piece including dimensions at B. The upper piece should be three and one-half inches wide and two and one-quarter inches in thickness. The legs will be 19 to 21 inches long, three and onebalf inches wide and -eighths of an inch in thickness and should be tapered as shown in Fig. 1 to two and one-quarter inches wide at the lower end.
 After the recesses are cut in the upper piece screw each leg into its recess with five one and three-quarter inch No. 12 wood screws. first boring through the legs with a quarter-inch bit, and then bore into the upper piece with a one eighth inch bit, and ream or counter sink the screw heads one-eighth inch below the surface so that the teeth of the saw may not strike and be injured by them. Lastly trim off the upper ends of the legs smooth with the top edge of the upper piece, and also saw or trim off the lower ends so that they will sit firm ly on the floor. The cross braces on the legs just under the top piece should be six inches wide, five-eighths Of an inch in thickness and nailed on with one and one half inch wire nails.
 Bench Hook.
 The bench hook illustrated in Fig 13 should be made of poplar or some other moderately hard wood, and is very necessary. not only for saving and trim- ming small pieces with the backsaw, hut also for plating and dressing the ends of small pieces, as will be explained more fully later on. The board should he 1C inches long, six inches wide and three-quarters of an inch in thickness The upper cross piece is five inches long two inches wide and one inch in thickness.
 The lower cross piece is six inches long and otherwise of the same dimen- sions as the upper piece. Fasten one of these cross pieces to each opposite end and on opposite sides of the board with five one and one-half inch No. Il screws, and, as before, bore through the upper pieces with a quarter-inch bit and coun- tersink the screw heads flush with the surface Of the piece.

QUEER TRAITS OF WOMEN.
Scene in Shakespearean Play Which Arouses Criticism and
 Comment.

Women are by nature unfair and cannot be trusted" said the eminent novelist, John Oliver Hobbes Mrs. Craisie), herself member of the sex she eritieises. In speech before a woman's club in London several days ago Mrs. Craigie declared her sex could not be trusted In the administra. ton of justice and as an example quoted from Shakespeare's Richard IIl' the famous love scene in which the monster Richard. having killed King Henry VI and his son Edward. wooes Edwards wife, Lady Anne. and wins her before the funeral of the king. As this scene is one of the most discussed passages in Richard H." Mrs. Craigie's criticism has aroused much comment
 These are some of the things Mrs. Craigie said in her lecture before the London club:
 Women are by nature unfair, al- though in some instances their un- fairness is source of fascination
 Where would men get sympathy if Wouleu were impartial. women were not intended to govern"
 Art rightly represents the woman personifying justice as being blind folded, because woman cannot be trusted to see straight"
 Lady Anne was not so different from other women. The murders, after all, were committed because of her beauty. and this influenced her in judging Richard
 The psychology of Lady Annes equalization to Richard may be ex- plaiae1 by two traits that underlie the feminine nature, and one of these hinges directly upon the argument ad- vanced by Mrs. Craigie, the novelist, in her claim that the female sense of justice is warped.
 These traits have been advanced by nearly all the commentators of Shakespeare's women. They are that the feminine mind is inclined to judge crime more leniently when it is con- mitted for her sake, and that it is womau's natural impulse to experi- ence an exaltation at the notion of re- forming a wicked or abandoned mascu- line being by exerting upon him the redeeming influence of her softer gentler feelings.

Denmark is a country of land and water, and the ingenious natives have provided themselves not only with steamers which take whole trains on board but with boats which travel from one water to another on rails. In the island of Seeland, a screw steamboat plies on three lakes. sep arated by land. which il crosses lon wheels. For this purpose it is pro vided with four wheels, actuated from the screw which enable it to run along the railways provided.

BEAUTY AND HEALTH REST
When You Relax Do So All Over and Not Try to Rest One Set of Mus
 cles at the Expense of Others.

Do you know how to rest awhile? In the resting room of a railroad station full of hustle a woman sat down to wait for half an hour.
 '1'll rest awhile, she said.
 And for half an hour she made a brave attempt at getting rested. When her companions came for her at the end of the half hour she looked more Tagged than before.
 She had rested by sinking her head back upon the rounding curve of an up holstered chair She did not remove her hat nor did she get cushion for her feet. She simply sat there with her arms hanging at her sides.
 There was a strain upon her back; there must have been a strain upon her nerves. for she faced the crowded room. and there was strain upon her neck. her knees and her elbows. She was not comfortable in any respect
 When you rest be sure that you put your muscles to sleep That does not mean to stop the circulation. but only to arrange your muscles so that they will not bother you.
 Your muscles. your nerves and your upper and lower limbs must all rest at the same time. Incidentally. your neck will get rested. your knees will Timber up and your back will be quiet.
 The people who always have a neck ache are those who do not know how to rest. They always manage to rest in such way that the neck gets no benefit from their relaxation
 When you rest take the advice of Her bert Spencer. and rest your head first, said woman physical culturist.
 T always put my head to sleep for an hour day" said he, when asked how he did so much work and was so rested all the time.
 And Ruskin said practically the same thing: ''l drop off awhile, just to let my nerves know that l am thinking of them" he said to an interviewer, who congratulated him on the brilliancy of his latter days.
 Cavalieri and Dortzal. the two most beautiful women in France. are adopts at muscle resting Dortzal. who is a
 
 her nerves. When asked after the beauty contest how she stood the strain, she said
 Il know how to rest even when am talking. This is what 1 do when I am very tired:
 Il don't try to get away. but rest just where 1 am. 1 have learned the secret This is the way I rest: I stop talking for one thing and so rest my face. my throat and my lungs Then I rest my neck
 Il take the strain of my spine. You can do this only by elevating your feet 1 Do not attempt to put them above your head, nor on the table nor even on ton of chair. Just lift them and let them rest on high footstool That is tho best way in the world to take the strair off your spine
 There are many who say that plae. ing both feet fiat on the floor will rest the spine But t doesn't Lift your feet. Take the pull off your spinal col umn.
