Too many women who are pretty in
glrlhood become positively agiy In mid
die age. Those who are shape.ess with
fat and have muddy complexions are
often thus unlovely because OF laziness
and self-indulgence. They eat the ricl,
and sweet things which make flesh and
do not take sufficient exercise.
The odd thing about It is that while
women deplore the loss of beauty. no
persuasion will make them adopt the
Spartan methods which will bring q.
least some of it back, says Wolnan's

The present way of serving by having

unhap'y enough for both servant and
person at table, without high-backed

trouble. People do not lean back at
formal dinners, and ow-backed chairs
that do not reach the shoulder are cor
rect.
In the simple home the prestige of
larger chairs may be given to the father

is possible by the use of cushions and

If any one imagines that woman Is
lacking in inventive ingenuity or me-
chanical ability, visit to the patent
office in Washington will remove the
erroneous impression. That wonder
ful collection of the fruits of construc-
tive ideas contains many thousands Of
inventions credited to women, the first
dating from 1909. Into almost every
field of human enterprise woman has
ventured with her inventive genius.
Articles Of domestic or personal use
naturally lead, although she has not
neglected the most important indus
trial enterprises. Even Improvements
in guns and warships have occupied
her attention. While many of these
inventions have never got beyond the
tentative stage and their careers be-

Nrodest OntInx for Weddinr.

There Is considerable discussion in
regard to the statement that the trous-
seau of Fraulein Bertha Krupp, the
richest girl IN the world, cost $3.50.
Some of the German newspapers hold
her up as model of virtue for other
girls about to be married. But others
think her parsimony not much to her
credit, as her small expenditure will
not add much to the income of others.
No doubt the lady knows her own af-
fairs best. and she probably has so
many clothes that she couldn't find
need for more. AS most German girls
are all their lives getting ready to get
married, and the lingerie is added to
from year to year, she probably has a
good supply.
