Recreation and EIe5cISe.

II We would be healthy we must have
change even if 1t be change from mental
10 physical labor or for indoors TO out
doors employment
After hard mental or physical work
relaxation is needed.
Those who are engaged in mental work
especially need this change.
Every one is better for a change OF air
and a little pleasure.
1t is not necessary TO seek relaxation
in expensive amusement. simply pass
several hours each day in the parks or
squares.
In London business is suspended at 4
o'clock; at that hour all shops and busi-
ness houses close their doors. This gives
employers and employees more time for
Measure and rest. AS a result they are
less nervous than Americans and better
fitted for work next day.
Then. too, there IS more going out of
families together: more open air sitting.
rr,-,ping. and sporting than we have.
GentleR women in America seldom ap-
near in the street or on walks unless
thew are dressed to shop or call or some
thing Of that sort. but in Paris the gar
dens. parks, and squares are filled with
well gowned women occupying chairs
and benches for a whole afternoon.
While their children pass the time IN
romplng. playing games, or riding IN
donkey carts
Exercise is Indispensable it keeps the

* NEW USE FOR THE
GAY AND FANCY 1HTpIN
The Former Practical Article Is Now Used to Hold
the Hat in Shape as Well as to the Head

Just q Few years ago the hat pin was
Ru iaconsp!cuous little thing with a
black OF white head which was used
solely for the practical purpose Of fast
ening on a hat Here and there hand
some hat pins appeared and we're look
ed upon as articles Of needless extrava-
gance The decorative hat pin of today
IS considered an absolute necessity and
women possess an abundance Of them
sufficient TO meet every need OF the mod
ern hat.
The smart hat pin serves three pur-
poses: It holds the hat in place. and
adorns il with sparks of light and color
in jeweIed heads, and also gives indi-
viduaI shape to the hat Soft hats, par
ticuiarly are shaped with hat pins. which
are stuck through the hat in such
manner as TO produce smart curves and
angles. folds in the straw and tits TO
the brim. That hat pin IN the hands Of
q clever woman can give a CaChet and
individuality to the shape and appear
anca of a hat which IS the last touch in
the art of millinery perfection.
The weIl-gowned woman stands before
her glass and-if she is gowned in blue
will Law before her an assortment OF
turquoise and rhinestone hat pins. With
hand glass in hand she will turn and
twist. giving a jab here and another
there tin the hat is firmly held at the
right angle and its brim dipped and
turned Up in the most becoming fashion.
She will try and get this arrangement
